Chapter 8

Shizuo's POV

We were all seated at a table in a very expensive looking restaurant, I sat next to Izaya, across from his parents, Mairu sat on the other side of Izaya and Kururi was across the table facing he sister.

We had all ordered minutes ago and were now sitting in an awkward silence. I could tell by reading her thoughts that Izaya's mother was analyzing my every move, trying to test whether or not I'm good enough for her son, but she'll see, once I pull out those cruise ship tickets she'll love me.

I took a sip of my drink, her eyes following me the whole time, it was kind of intimidating, even being a demon, Izaya's mother was scaring the shit out of me.

"So, Shizuo, I don't remember seeing you before now, what school do you attend?" Izaya's mother asked, smiling and looking me straight in the eyes.

I panicked, I hadn't prepared for this, I didn't know any names of any schools!

"He goes to Yokasuka High School". Izaya answered for me. Izaya's mother seemed pleased with this answer though I could tell by the way she was looking at me she still had many questions about me.

"Do you have any siblings?" She asked. "I have a younger brother". I answered, I haven't told Izaya about Kasuka yet, it was kind of a touchy subject, but I couldn't just lie about it, especially now with Izaya's mother's eyes on me, I felt like she would be able to tell in a second if I was lying.

"And do you two get along"?

Of course she had to ask that question.

"Well, we don't spend that much time together, he doesn't live with us, he uh, goes to boarding school".

"Oh really? Which school"?

Shit.

"Terakoya"

Thanks Izaya.

This seemed to satisfy Mrs. Orihara for now, but I knew that there would be more questions later.

The subject was switched to the twins where abouts for a while, and I sat silently, glancing at Izaya every now and then. I really wanted to know how he was coping with the situation, if he was in denial or in shock, I really want to just hold him and tell him it's going to be okay.

My thoughts were interrupted by our waiter coming by with our food.

The rest of the night was filled with small talk and more questions from Mrs. Orihara, which thankfully Izaya answered for me. I had presented the Cruise ship tickets after dinner, which thankfully they excepted after almost 20 minutes of convincing.

Overall I think it went well. Now it was time to go, and since there wasn't enough room for Izaya in his parent's car because of the twins, and he doesn't have his own, he is riding with me. The perfect time to work up the courage to bring up the subject, not that a car ride is the perfect place to have it, I just really wanted to get it over with and go to Shinra to start the treatment, and with any luck, we will be paying Shinra a visit tomorrow.

I held the door open for him and climbed into the driver's side of the car.

I started the car and began to drive. Silence. He didn't even attempt to start a conversation he just stared out the window.

I began going over some ways to start some small talk so I could work my way up the real topic we need to discuss, and when I finally found a starting sentence he spoke.

"Shizu-chan, I think I'm gonna be sick".

I looked at him confused, all this time spent in silence and this is the first sentence he speaks to me.

"What do you mean"?

"Pull over Shizu-chan I'm gonna throw up".

I parked in the closest parking lot and Izaya scrambled out and went to the back of the car and started puking. I hurried out and ran to him, he was hunched over and gagging, I knelt down next to him and rubbed his back until he was finished.

He spat on the pavement to get rid of the taste and before he turn to the car, I spun him around to face me and pulled him into a hug.

He struggled at first, but eventually relaxed in my arms and cuddled into the embrace.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment, we never cuddle anymore, I understand why, but I really miss it, I love holding him close to me, he's so small and fragile, and the only time I feel he is truly safe is when he is in my arms.

All of a sudden my eyes widened in horror as I realized that Izaya just threw up, and isn't that one of the symptoms of being pregnant, or is that just morning sickness? Is there such thing as evening sickness? either way, the pregnancy symptoms always start months early when a human is pregnant with a demon.

That's it we're going to Shinra's. I pulled away from the hug and didn't wait for him to walk to the car I picked him up and placed him in his seat. He didn't ask any questions, he just sat in silence, again.

I don't know why he didn't ask or say anything maybe he just sensed that something was wrong.

Shinra's Place

Shizuo POV

Shinra was just finishing the last of the tests on Izaya while was waiting impatiently in the living room until Shinra finally came out of the room with Izaya. Izaya curled up on the couch and I waited for what Shinra had to say.

"Well," he began, "this is kind of peculiar, not unheard of, just not necessarily normal-"

"Just spit it out Shinra"! I snapped.

"Okay okay, well Izaya is…"

A/N: sorry this took so long, I've just been really busy with Christmas and all that. Sorry if there are any mistakes, this was rushed, I just wanted to get it done.
