A/N: Chapter 44. Just like I said last chapter, this one will be the last. I'm still planning to do a few one-shots of how it goes after this, but I don't know yet when I will have them. I am also planning another story, just need to do the research for that one. Thank you all for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it.
Summary: Six years have gone by since the birth of Hikari and everyting seems to be going fine with the family of three, but will it last? Or will something happen that threatens to tear them apart?
Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!
Izaya and Shizuo had been married for a month now and today was Izaya's 32nd birthday, even though he would never admit that he was already becoming 32 years old.
Yuki was already over four months old and he was growing fast and learning new things everyday. He was still a hands full though, especially now that he was moving around a lot more. Izaya had started working again, though he didn't go outside for it. He just did it on his computer, while taking care of Yuki too.
Shizuo was still working with Tom after all, so he was away during the day, while Hikari was at school. Izaya did pick her up, he would just take Yuki with him then.
She was now a second grader and people had stopped looking weird at him for being called her mother, although the new people would still stare at him.
Soon the guests would be arriving, even though Izaya didn't think it really mattered if he had a party or not, but Shizuo and Hikari had arranged it, so he had no choice.
Even though they hadn't done much, just got the cake and other snacks and invited the guests.
The doorbell rang and Izaya went over to the door to open it. He scowled when he saw a smiling Shinra on the other side, since that could never be something good.
"Happy 32nd birthday Izaya!" The doctor said way too happily. He just had to mention his age after all.
"Shinra, you better not say that again." He growled. He didn't think he was that old yet, but 32 sounded old.
"32 isn't that old yet, Izaya." He heard Shizuo suddenly say. He couldn't help but glare at the blonde for a moment. "You can't stay 21 forever after all, since you have kids."
"Fine, but just don't tell me how old I am." He said with a sigh before letting the doctor and Celty inside.
[Happy birthday!] Celty showed him and he smiled a little at that, since she hadn't mentioned anything about his age.
"Thanks, Celty." He said and wanted to go back into the living room with them, but just that moment the doorbell rang again. Opening the door once more, this time it were his sisters who had come, Kasuka was not with them for once.
"Happy birthday Iza-nii!" Mairu said while she hugged her brother tightly. Kururi did the same, but a bit more gently.
"Let go, you're crushing me." He said while he pushed them away. "Hikari's in the living room." He added and with that the two left to find the girl. Luckily it seemed like that worked every time and he was glad for it.
Soon everyone had arrived and the cake had been given to everyone. Izaya was quietly eating his, he somehow found this cake to be decent, maybe he had gotten used to eating them after all these years.
"Izaya, Shizuo, are you guys planning on having more kids?" Erika had been the one to ask the question. Izaya looked surprised at the woman.
He had not really thought about it, but if he was honest he wasn't really looking forward to getting pregnant again for a while and then he would be older too, so having another kid, didn't really seem like a good option.
"Not for a while I think." He answered and Shizuo nodded.
"He's right, we still have Yuki and Hikari to think of and we will get older too." Shizuo added. He was glad that Shizuo seemed to think the same of it, even though he did have to mention their age.
"That's understandable." Aiko was the one to say it this time. "I had some time between my children too, so it's definitely understandable."
Izaya was glad that no one seemed to object to it, even though he wouldn't have listened anyway. He turned to his sisters and Kasuka though, since all three of them were already at an age where they could have kids too.
"And are Hikari and Yuki ever going to have a cousin?" He asked them. He could tell that Shizuo was surprised that he asked that question suddenly.
"Iza-nii, you know we don't have boyfriends." Mairu said and Kururi nodded. Kasuka was keeping quiet though, even though Izaya had no idea what the reason for it was. Had he said something wrong?
"Is something wrong Kasuka?" It was clear that Shizuo had noticed that something was off too. This seemed to get his attention though.
"Nothing's wrong nii-san." He said in the end. "It's just that I was planning on telling you about that tonight." Izaya was the one who was surprised now. He had known that the actor had a relationship with Hijiribe Rubi, but he couldn't have gotten her pregnant right?
"What did you want to tell me?" The blonde decided to ask, pushing his brother to go further. "You can tell me anything."
"Seems like I will be a father soon." The actor said. "Ruri is 12 weeks pregnant." He added. Izaya had expected the blonde to say something, but when he looked at Shizuo the blonde seemed shocked.
Sighing he decided that it was better if he said something. "That's great Kasuka, congratulations." He said and smiled lightly at the actor.
"Ah, yeah, congratulations." Clearly it had given Shizuo enough time to recover.
"Thank you." He said before standing up. "I need to leave now though, still have some work to do." Izaya didn't know if it was the truth or that he just wanted to get away from here, but he nodded before taking him to the door.
"Thanks for coming and congratulate Ruri-chan for me too." He added, before he let the actor out of the apartment.

Izaya was currently emptying his stomach into the toilet, while Shizuo was slowly rubbing his back. It had already happened a few times in the last week and he was honestly tired of it.
As soon as he stopped throwing up he stood up on shaky legs while Shizuo supported him. "Izaya, this has been the fourth time this week, something is wrong." The blonde said, but Izaya just shook his head.
"It will go over by itself." He answered. That was what he hoped, even though he was somehow a bit afraid for what could really be happening to him. He had shoved the thought that he could be pregnant again aside, since that couldn't really be possible right? It had been before their wedding since they had last done it without protection and that was that one time in the shower before their bachelor parties.
That had already been 8 weeks ago, which meant he should be 10 weeks pregnant, but he didn't even have a small bump, so he honestly didn't think he was.
"Let's at least go and see Shinra." Shizuo tried again after the raven had washed his hands and his mouth.
"I told you, that it will be over soon, so no need for Shinra!" He almost yelled now. There was no way he was going to let Shinra take a look, since he was somehow afraid that the doctor would confirm the small suspicion he had.
"I'm taking you there, even if you don't want to." The blonde stubbornly said. "Hikari doesn't need to go to school after all, so we can take both of them to see Celty too."
He wanted to complain more, but it was clear that the blonde wouldn't let him. "Fine, but you better not complain if it was just the flu or something." He growled, before walking out the bathroom to get dressed.

Izaya was definitely not in a good mood as soon as they got to Shinra's but he tried to hide it from Hikari, since he didn't want to worry the girl. Yuki was sleeping quietly in Shizuo's arms, so he didn't need to worry about him.
The door got opened pretty fast by the dullahan who seemed a bit surprised to see them. [What are you doing here?] She asked.
"We came to visit and we need to talk to Shinra too." Shizuo said and with that the dullahan led them inside.
[Shinra's in the living room.] She said before Shizuo nodded and took Izaya's hand, so the raven would follow him.
"Shinra, I need you to check on Izaya." Shizuo said as soon as he entered the living room. The doctor was sitting on the couch drinking coffee, which he dropped as soon as he heard the blonde man's voice.
"Shizuo, don't scare me like that!" The doctor said while standing up to look at the two of them. Shizuo had already given Yuki to Celty. "And you need me to check on Izaya? What's wrong with him?"
Izaya opened his mouth to tell the doctor that nothing was wrong, but Shizuo was faster. "He has been throwing up for the past week."
"Oh? Is he pregnant again?" Shinra asked a bit surprised.
"Of course not!" Izaya then yelled, finally able to get into the conversation. "Probably just some bug I have." He said it afterwards.
"Are you sure? I will give you a check up anyway." Shinra said. "Just let me take some of your blood and a urine sample and I can test for some things." He wasn't going to tell the raven that he was going to test for pregnancy first.
"Do you really need it?" He asked.
"Just give it to him." Shizuo said, clearly wanting him to do it. "He can find out what's wrong with you then."
"Fine, just give me the cup then." He mumbled, before taking it to fill it. After that he gave it to the doctor, who took his blood, before leaving him in the living room with Shizuo.
"Do you really think you're not pregnant?" Was the first thing Shizuo asked him. He was doubting his own words from back then, but he just didn't want to be pregnant, since Yuki was only 5 months old and needing a lot of attention.
"I hope not, we can't use it right now with Yuki still being so young." He answered honestly. He could tell that Shizuo was not really happy with his answer.
"I would be fine with it though." Shizuo said. Izaya sighed at that.
"You might be, but you won't be the one carrying it and taking care of Yuki during the day." Izaya said. He knew the blonde would readily take days off from his work, but he didn't want that to happen. The same with his work, if he was pregnant again, he would definitely need to stop working again, while he had only just started working again.
"I can take off from work." Shizuo said predictably. "You don't need to take care of him on your own."
"You know I wouldn't want you to take off from your work." Izaya said while sighing. He wanted to say something else, but just at that moment Shinra walked in.
"I have the results." The doctor said, still smiling. "Seems like you're indeed pregnant again." Izaya just stared at the doctor for a moment.
"I'm what again?" He asked, feeling his heart sink.
"Pregnant and 10 weeks at that, you're lucky to have the morning sickness pretty late this time." The doctor said while still smiling.
"It's great, isn't it Izaya?" Shizuo was smiling brightly too now, even though the raven wasn't so sure about it.
"I had hoped I was not." He said finally with a sigh. "But I can't change anything about it. Seems like we're having another child."
"I'm getting another sibling?" Hikari suddenly asked.
"Yes, you are." Izaya said to the girl.
"I hope it is a girl this time, I want a little sister too." The girl said.
"We will see." Shizuo said. "We won't know for a while yet."
