Title: You, Me and Baby Makes Three

Authors: Dark Nuriko and Mayhem

Disclaimers: We still do not own Gravitation.

Note: Hello… I recently got a message from ShadowFox13, asking if we had ever finished this fic. No, says I, I don't think we ever did. Anyway, then I thought, maybe double check my files and see what is kicking around. I found this, and a half edited chapter 5. So, even though I don't really write anymore, which is a shame, I think I can get that edited for you too. -x- Mayhem

Once the little one was finished, he took a wet napkin and cleaned off his hands and face before giving him a kiss on the rounded baby cheek. "There... all done!"

Ryuichi grinned, filled with a warm happiness at all of this. Gabriel was just such a sweet child, and taking care of him really did make him long for one of his own. He moved to let Gabriel out of the high chair, who was squirming now, no matter how much he loved the attention he was getting. Sitting back down with him, he played with him a little bit, singing him a little song about pigs going to the market that he'd learned in America. He had to use Gabriel's fingers though, since his little feet were hidden away in booties to keep them warm.

Tatsuha moved to begin washing dishes, even as he smiled at the two playing together.

Ryuichi moved onto a new song, this one he remembered from his own childhood and his mother singing it to him. Thinking about it like that though, made a few tears come to his eyes, and made his voice thicker. Swallowing and clearing his throat, he pushed the sad thoughts away as he finished the song. He was moving on to gently tickling the baby's stomach and sides, making him laugh again, while Tatsuha finished up with the dishes. Next would be bathtime for Gabriel, which always took longer than it logically should have.

Tatsuha finished and turned to the two, going over to his Ryuichi because he still had a sad look on his face, before picking Gabe up carefully. "Come along, Gabe, its time for a bath."

Ryuichi smiled, even if it was still a little weak. "He definitely needs one. Do you want help with his bath?"

Tatsuha grinned. "Of course. He loves the faces his Uncle Ryu makes when Uncle Tatsuha splashes him."

Ryuichi truly smiled then, getting up to follow them to the bathroom. "I'm beginning to think that that's the only thing he likes. If I keep doing it though, my face might freeze like that." He said, pulling on a "scary" face as the baby, looking over his one uncle's shoulder, giggled and hid his face in Tatsuha's neck, soft turquoise eyes peering at Ryuichi again seconds later.

He smiled as he laughed. "See... that isn't all he likes, Ryu."

Ryuichi stuck out his tongue at both of them. "Then maybe he likes everything. Either that, or thinks we are an incredibly funny joke, laughing at us like that all the time." He leaned closer to the baby on his lover's shoulder, "you going to share the joke, silly little one? Or is it only for you to know?"

Tatsuha laughed and handed the baby over to his lover even as he began to run the water. He made certain it was warmby testing it with his bare arm before putting the stopper in and undressing. Once naked, he stripped his nephew and then took him from Ryuichi only to move into the tub.

Ryuichi waited, bouncing the baby until everything was ready, handing him back when Tatsuha was done. He stripped off his shirt, not wanting it to get soaked when he undoubtedly got splashed. He had quickly learned that the less clothes at bath time, the better. He knelt next to the bath, where he could help and splash too.

He laughed softly, liking the fact that they were all together. "Aw, Ryu, you could always strip," Tatsuha pouted, as he looked at his lover, wanting him to be nude as well.

Ryuichi rolled his eyes at Tatsuha, grinning none-the-less, knowing what he wanted. He stood, and oh so slowly, undid his jeans, and pushed them down to the floor. He kicked them to the side, into the pile with the rest of their clothes. He smirked, watching Tatsuha, sitting down again, on the bathmat this time to protect him from the cold tile floor.

Tatsuha hugged his nephew and had fairly drooled at Ryuichi's little strip tease. "Your Uncle is a big meanie, Gabe. He teased your Uncle Tatsuha..."

Ryuichi laughed. "You know very well that it could have been worse, Tatsuha. And what are you trying to do? Get Gabriel to take revenge on me for you? I thought you fought your own battles..."

Tatsuha chuckled. "I do. Most of the time, " he teased, even as Gabe giggled and splashed both his uncles.

Ryuichi laughed, as some of Gabriel's splashing caught him in the face. "Plbt." He sputtered, wiping away the drops on his cheeks. "Oh you, I'll get you for that!" Ryuichi mock threatened, scooping a little bit of water into his palm and poured the tiny bit of water over his nephew's chest.

Tatsuha chuckled and helped his nephew get Ryuichi back, even as they teased and splashed one another for a while. After a while, Gabe was yawning... and Tatsuha was feeling thoroughly drowned.

Ryuichi was pretty soaked himself, and glad he had taken off all his clothes. He stood, and took Gabriel from Tatsuha so the other could get out, and set him in a fluffy towel to dry off as they went to find his bed clothes. He walked naked down the hall to the guest room, setting the baby down on the changing table, and holding him in place with one hand as he picked up the sleeper from where it lay on the table. Putting the babe into it successfully, and not needing to ask Tatsuha for help, he kiss the plump cheek as he yawned again, before settling him into the crib.

Tatsuha smiled and came into the room, giving his nephew a small hug and kiss before tucking him in with Ryuichi. "Sleep well Gabe," he whispered.

"Good Night." Ryuichi whispered himself, moving back slightly so he was just resting on the crib, not hanging over it as he watched Gabriel's eyes close for a final time.

Tatsuha smiled and leaned against his lover. "You'll miss him when Mika comes to get him tomorrow... won't you?"

Ryuichi nodded. "Uh huh." He said softly, still focused on the baby. "I really like having him around. But it makes me glad we're getting our own. But Gabe is a boy, and we decided a girl would be nice...hey! Maybe we should get both! Twins!"

Tatsuha laughed softly. "Sure, why not! Why, we could stay up day and night taking care of both of them!"

Ryuichi giggled too. "Yeah, yeah. One is enough. Plus, if we had our little girl, and Gabe was visiting, we'd be busy enough. And we'd still get to see Gabe all the time, so we wouldn't totally be baby boy deprived."

Tatsuha nodded, kissing Ryuichi's cheek. "Sounds much better this way."

He smiled, "yup. It does sound better. C'mon, we should go to bed too." Ryuichi suggested, returning the kiss, but placing it on his lover's lips.

Tatsuha sighed, enjoying the soft kiss. While he was tired and felt worn out from being with his nephew, he was enjoying the soft kisses and just being close to Ryuichi. Sometimes, it was much better than sex.

"Bed sounds very good, love. I'm all for it. Lead the way!"

Ryuichi did, taking his lover's hand in his, guiding him gently to the bed. He too, was tired from what was turning out be a long day. Sated from their bout earlier during Gabriel's nap, all he wanted to do was cuddle his lover, and sleep.

Tatsuha, still as naked as he had been in the bath, fell into bed, pulling Ryuichi down beside him, before closing his eyes and cuddling beside him. "Mm... this is... nice..."

Ryuichi nodded gently. "Yeah... I could really get used to this. Doing a routine, putting baby to bed, then curling up with you... a perfect life." He murmured, eyes closing as he settled down into the mattress.

"What makes it even more perfect... is that you love me unconditionally."

Ryuichi smiled. "Of course... just like you love me."

Tatsuha smiled, his breathing slowing. "Always," he whispered, before his consciousness let go so he could drift off in the bliss of sleep.
