Asami stood over his crying lover,

Asami stood over his crying lover, gently placing his hand on his head and rubbing, waiting for the boy to calm down. He listened as Akihito's breathing slowed as he began to calm down, his cries slowly became sobs. Asami looked down at Akihito, thinking carefully about what he was going to say next.

'Would it be so bad?' Asami thought as he continued stroking, waiting until the boy had completely calmed.

"If I give you this, you will have to stop all this 'going after gangsters' bullshit. If you want to continue with your photography, you will have to get a stable job that allows flexible times, I can arrange for you to get a job at a magazine, okay." Akihito nodded, even though he knew it wasn't up for discussion. "You are the one who wants this so you are the one who is going to step up. You play mother, got it?"

Akihito looked up at him "Don't you want anything to do with it if we have one?"

Asami sighed, knowing fully well that Akihito would ask this. "I will assist when I can."

"But you don't want a baby, do you Asami?"

Asami's eyes narrowed down at Akihito, he wasn't sure how he could respond to the question without badly hurting the boy, he could always lie but the boy somehow seemed to know whenever he lied to him. So he decided to avoid the question completely.

"I will prepare everything." Akihito took the hint. "I will organise that the spare room be converted into a nursery, you will tell the designers what you want and they will do it. My men will take you to a bookstore tomorrow; you can buy whatever you want there."

Akihito looked up at Asami as he walked towards the door. "Where are you going?"

Asami looked back at Akihito. "I'm going to sort some things out." And he left.

3 Months Later.

Akihito stared at the woman he was meeting for the first time before him, the bulge showing due to her skin tight dress was a dead give-away that she was pregnant but what had shocked Akihito most about this was that she was pregnant to Asami…his lover…

"Their genetically mine but once they are born, I will organise in the paper that you will be their legal guardian."

Akihito didn't seem to hear anything Asami was saying to him, he just stared at the woman's enlarged stomach where, from what he had heard, were his babies. He was going to be a father, maybe not genetically but they would be his. He so badly wanted to reach out and touch her stomach, just to make sure that this was real, that she was real and that they were real.

He swallowed hard. "Can I touch your stomach?"

The woman just smiled. "Of course, they are yours."

He reached out and rested his hand on her stomach, all under the watchful eye of Asami, laughing as he moved his hand around it.

Asami tuned out as Akihito and Amaterasu began talking, smiling at the fact he had chosen the correct woman to carry their children. He had been careful in his making decision on who would be the biological mother and who would carry the child. He had ensured that every legal loop hole that could cost Akihito into loosing any children they would have was found out and dealt with, if not legally then a couple of hundred or thousand yen was splashed at them and, if that didn't work, a few 'minor' threats against them and their families and everything was dealt with. There was no way Akihito could loose them.

He watched Akihito as he assisted Amaterasu to the lounge-room, asking constantly if she was hungry, or thirst, or if she needed anything. Asami had to admit, Akihito look happier than he had seen him the entire time they had been together. He followed them to the lounge-room, Amaterasu was seated on the couch smiling as she watched Akihito yap on about something, and Asami wasn't really listening.

"…Oh…I have to call the decorators and have the nursery done up for twins, do you know their gender?"

Amaterasu shock her head. "I will be finding that out next week. You are both welcome to see if you want?"

Akihito decided to answer for both of them "Of course we will be there. This is so exciting. Could you please excuse me for just a second."

Asami left the room with the phone in his hand. Asami sat down next to Amaterasu, who was now smiling at Asami.

"I didn't expect him to be so excited. He's very charming." Asami raised his eyebrow as he looked over at her.

"Yeah, guess this was a good idea."

Akihito was practically bouncing in the plastic chair in the waiting room, Asami sat to his left, his fingers twitched occasionally due to his desire to smoke under stress, and Amaterasu sat on his right, perfectly calm reading Vogue magazine.

"Akihito, they have an article about Rain."

Akihito looked over at the magazine. "Yeah, I took the pictures."

Amaterasu squealed and began questioning on anything he may know about Rain. The moment they had met, they had clicked, becoming quick friends who could talk for hours about anything. If Akihito had time off work, he would be with Amaterasu at her place or at his and Asami's. Asami wasn't entirely happy about how much time they were spending together, making sure Akihito knew who his lover was every night.

"Mrs Yamagata Amaterasu?"

Amaterasu shuffled in her chair as she prepared herself to get up, Akihiko stood near her to help in any way possible while Asami made his way to the room. Amaterasu waddled to the room, with Akihito in tow. She made herself comfortable on the chair, lifting her shirt to show her bulging stomach.

The doctor laughed "Seems like you've done this before Mrs Yamagata."

Amaterasu just smiled.

"Ok, the gels going to be a bit cold, ok"

"Ok Doctor." She answered, squirming slightly as the gel was squeezed. He rolled the ultra-sound wand over the gel, spreading it over the bulge. Once it was well spread, he began concentrating to get a picture of the babies.

Akihito stared at the screen which showed a blurred picture, which he had no idea what it was but it completely held his attention. The doctor slid the wand and stoped, smiling.

"See this," he pointed to a blur that seemed to be moving but Akihito nodded "that is a leg and that," he pointed to a larger blur, "that is a head and right next to it is another head."

"Can you find out the sex?" Akihito looked over to Asami who hadn't really shown any interest in what was going on until now.

"Ok, just hold on." The doctor shifted the wand, trying to get it into a position in order to see. "Well, it looks like your having a boy," he shifted the wand again, "and a girl."

Akihito squealed, grasping Amaterasu, bouncing up and down on his seat as the doctor continued his examination. Asami listened to the doctor (who was mainly talking to him since Akihito was too excited to really pay attention), who told him what to expect during the remaining pregnancy. Asami nodded and, when the doctor left, watched Akihito yap to Amaterasu 'bout some nonsense about the room or the babies, he really wasn't paying attention. He just watched Akihito.
