A week passed by after Misaki and Usagi got to find out about the babies' wellbeing and Usagi's nomination for the National Literature award.

Usagi locked himself in his room to try to finish an already overdue manuscript while Misaki was also locked in his room studying. He had to show up at school that afternoon to take another round of tests for his online classes.

When Misaki told Usagi he had to go to the school, Usagi said he would drop him off. Misaki was glad he was getting a ride there. He didn't mind taking public transportation, but the babies' weight was beginning to take a toll on his back and hips. Walking was becoming uncomfortable and doing so for long periods of time was strenuous.

They were in the car on the way to school. Misaki was in the front seat, nervously doing some last minute reading.

"I've read this so many times but it still won't sink in! It's so frustrating!" Misaki said while flipping the pages of his notebook.

Usagi was wearing a light purple shirt with a dark green tie. "You'll be fine. We went over those several times." His black sunglasses gave him a very seductive look. "You got this." He said very confident.

They got to the school's main entrance. Misaki sighed and placed his notes on the dashboard. "It's too late to keep reading now." He said defeated as he opened the door.

Usagi quickly walked out of the car to Misaki's side, right on time to hold his hand and pull him up.

"I'm so nervous. I need to do good in these tests." Misaki said grabbing his notes back from the dashboard.

Usagi placed a hand on Misaki's back, rubbing it up and down. "You'll be fine. Relax or your nerves will get the best of you." He said as he gave a light press to his shoulder.

Misaki made eye contact with Usagi and nodded. He then gave a look at the main entrance with determination. "I got this." He said making a fist with his free hand.

"That's more like you." Usagi smiled. "I'll take the manuscript to Aikawa and I'll come back to get you."

Misaki nodded. "Alright, take your time."

Usagi then got in the car and drove away. As soon as he left, Misaki felt nervous all over again. He readjusted his loose hoody to hide his growing midsection and headed towards the entrance.

"It's not the end of the world. I got this."

Once he crossed the gate, he felt like a college student all over again.

He missed attending classes, walking around campus and the simple act of going to the cafeteria to grab a bite in between classes. As he passed by all the other students, he realized he really missed being a college student.

He reached the testing center only to find out that he had come half an hour earlier than what he was supposed to. He first thought of going to the library to keep reading but his craving for cafeteria chocolate chip cookies was bigger.

Once in the cafeteria he realized that going there was the best thing he could have done. The place was completely empty, probably because everybody else was in class.

He got his cookies and went to sit on one of the many empty tables. As he bit into his cookie he closed his eyes for a while savoring every chew. He hadn't had these in a long time. He must have probably had his eyes closed for about a minute. He never expected to find someone standing in front of him when he opened his eyes.

He almost choked so he started coughing continuously placing a hand over his chest.

"Are you alright?" The man in front of him said.

Misaki continued coughing but not because he was choking but because he was nervous.

"Usagi-ani!" Misaki gave soft pats to his chest to try to calm himself down. "What are you doing here?"

Haruhiko pulled the chair in front of Misaki and sat down. "I told you I have a project here, remember?" He said very matter of factly.

Misaki was about to facepalm himself. How could he have forgotten? Haruhiko was the architect in charge of the design of the school's new building. He felt like a fool for not remembering.

"Right!" Misaki didn't say anything else. He looked at his surroundings trying to think what to do. Should he leave? Should he talk to him? What should he do? He tried to think of an answer but the more he looked around the lonelier he felt, it was just him, Haruhiko and a few other people far in the corners of the cafeteria. Thankfully it was Haruhiko who continued the conversation.

"How are you?" He said after giving a sip to his mug of coffee.

"I'm good, thanks. I've been busy studying for my exams." Misaki replied. "How are you? How is construction going?"

"It's going better than I anticipated. Did you know I incorporated your idea of a day care area in the final design and it got approved?"

"Wow! That's great!" Misaki said with a huge smile on his face. Hearing that made him glad. The thought of being able to go back to school and know his children could be taken care of while he studied made him very happy.

"It's good news indeed…" Haruhiko then cleared his throat giving another quick sip to his coffee. He looked at Misaki very deeply. "Misaki. How's my brother?" He asked.

"He's doing alright. He's eating more vegetables now and he is trying to be more active. He is still handing in his work late sometimes but not as often as before." Misaki said smiling.

Haruhiko continued looking deep into Misaki's eyes and frowned. "Have you noticed any change in his demeanor, attitude or actions?"

Misaki was taken aback by Haruhiko's question. Was there a reason for there to be a change in Usagi? He wondered.

"Not that I've noticed. He's still the same." Misaki said letting out a soft laugh. "I doubt he will ever change to be honest." He said giving a warm smile to the architect.

Haruhiko remained serious which didn't go unnoticed to Misaki, until it clicked in Misaki's mind. Was there something happening in the Usami family? Why was Haruhiko suddenly worried about Usagi?

"Is everything okay?" Misaki asked sensing something odd in Haruhiko's previous question.

All it took was Misaki's reaction to let Haruhiko know that Usagi hadn't talked to him about his father wanting grandchildren to inherit the company.

"Yes. Everything is fine." Haruhiko said somewhat annoyed. "I've been wanting to talk to him but he hasn't been answering my calls or texts. It's a very urgent matter. I was hoping you could please convince him to get in touch with me as soon as possible."

Misaki felt a bit embarrassed towards Haruhiko since he knew Usagi would definitely do that. Whenever he didn't want to talk to someone, Usagi would just avoid them completely. He knew it was a childish way to deal with things but Usagi was like that.

"I'm sorry. I'll let him know you are looking for him." Misaki shook his head and narrowed his eyes disapprovingly. "Geez Usagi-san, sometimes he…"

Haruhiko only stared at the younger man speaking. He didn't pay much attention to what he was saying really, but he knew he was talking about his brother. Even though he was mostly complaining about him, he did it with so much affection and concern. Haruhiko knew Misaki was good person. He was always so nice and attentive. Even though Misaki was aware of his feelings for him, Misaki would always give him a minute of his time to say hi and talk to him. Anger started taking over Haruhiko.

It was not fair.

Usagi couldn't be hiding things from him. Haruhiko would never do that to Misaki and it bothered him so much.

"You don't understand!" Haruhiko exclaimed loudly, snapping from his thoughts and interrupting Misaki.

Misaki widened his eyes not expecting Haruhiko's reaction. "He needs to get in touch with me right now! My father! He wants to…!" Haruhiko said the last sentence almost stuttering. Haruhiko then realized he had raised his voice towards Misaki frightening him and making the few people present in the cafeteria stare at them.

Misaki was very shocked by Haruhiko's reaction.

Haruhiko needed to get himself together. He took a deep breath to calm himself and sighed. "Could you please tell him my father wants to talk to him?" He said passing his hand through one side of his face very frustrated finally covering his mouth.

Misaki nodded promptly, still somewhat taken aback by what had just happened. "Yeah, sure. I'll tell him." He noticed Haruhiko looked really worried as the older man was getting up to leave. "Is everything okay?" He felt he had to ask once again.

Haruhiko pushed his chair towards the table putting it back. For a second Misaki thought he saw pity in his eyes.

"Please just tell him to call me. Bye Misaki." And so he left the cafeteria.

Misaki was still very confused at what had just taken place.

It really looked that whatever it was he had to tell Usagi, was a very serious matter and for a second Haruhiko had been about to tell him what it was. This time didn't seem like other times when Usagi's relatives wanted to get in touch with him and couldn't. Those times they would just mention for Usagi to contact them, mostly suggesting it as a formality. But just now, it seemed there was a more serious issue involved. Once he saw him, he would definitely tell Usagi to contact his brother.

Misaki then looked at his watch and realized he had only 5 minutes left to get to the testing center and start his tests.

"Damn!" He said standing up and making his way there.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.

When Misaki had his phone back after taking his tests he saw he had texts from Usagi telling him he was in the school's parking lot and shared his location. Misaki was exhausted, his tests had been really hard. All he wanted to do was go home and go to bed.

Misaki texted him back telling him he was on his way. Once he left the school building he realized it was almost getting dark. Thankfully Usagi's car was right next to the entrance.

He walked towards it, got in and as soon as Misaki turned to face Usagi, the older man gave him a kiss on the lips catching Misaki by surprise. "What are you doing? We are still on school grounds!" He said feeling his cheeks turn red.

"I missed you." Usagi said with his usual calm tone.

Misaki sighed and leaned back the seat a bit closing his eyes.

"How did you do?" Usagi asked.

Misaki then turned his face to the opposite side gloomy. "I don't think I did that well."

"I'm sure you did fine." He said encouraging the younger man.

"I just wished I had started studying days before." Misaki said very defeated and then shook his head. "Anyway…" He sighed. "I saw Usagi-ani today."

All of a sudden Usagi pressed the brakes of the car abruptly, causing the cars behind him to honk at him.

Misaki instinctively placed both hands on his belly. "Usagi-san! Why did you do that?!" He said breathing rapidly. The sudden stop had also woken up the babies, he could feel them move frenetically. "Geez!"

Usagi quickly maneuvered the car to a side of the road and turned the engine off. "What did he want?! What did he say?!" Usagi raised his voice towards Misaki wide eyed.

Misaki also widened his eyes surprised. He was not expecting Usagi's reaction. "He just said he needed to talk to you about a very urgent matter that's all!" Misaki said annoyed.

"That's all he said?" Usagi sounded very demanding.

Misaki raised his right hand. "Yes, I that's all he said. Geez, what's wrong with the Usami family today?" Misaki said turning to his side as much as he could with the seatbelt on.

Usagi continued staring at Misaki. He was sure if his brother had told him something about his father's plans, he wouldn't be reacting like that. Misaki would have definitely been upset. But just the fact that Haruhiko had met with Misaki, he was not happy to hear that.

"I'm sorry. Do you want to pick up anything to eat at home?"

At the mention of food, Misaki looked over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes pouting. "Ramen."

Usagi let out a smile again and headed to Misaki's favorite ramen place.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Usagi dropped Misaki off at their house telling him he had forgotten to hand in a part of the manuscript and had to go back to the editorial. Once he made sure Misaki was eating at home, Usagi went back to his car and called his brother to set up a meeting. They were both free so they agreed to meet up immediately at a cafe.

Usagi got there first so he waited until his brother showed up.

Once Haruhiko got there, he walked towards Akihiko's table and pulled a chair. "How interesting." He said looking around the other tables. "I thought I'd find you in the smokers area." He said raising his eyebrows as he took a seat.

"And I thought I could avoid this but I guess it couldn't be helped." Usagi said sarcastically. "What do you want?"

Haruhiko sat down straight pushing back his glasses. "You need to tell Misaki everything. Time is running out." He said very serious.

"I'll tell him when the time is right."

"And when will that be?" Haruhiko said very upset. "When father looks for him and tells him everything? That's not fair to him."

"That won't happen."

"How can you be so sure? This stupid idea of heirs he has stuck inside his head won't go away and he will look for you and Misaki to carry it through, we might as well figure something out."

"We? Such as what?"

"I don't know! Someone else within the family might want to take over the company. We just need to look for someone capable. Even though not directly father's relatives, they might want to…"

Usagi shook his head interrupting his brother. "You really think he's gonna be satisfied handing over his company to someone not related to him?" He said with a sarcastic smile.

"Then what do you suggest?" Haruhiko said upset.

Akihiko had had it. "You've always been condescending with father. It's not my fault you feel the need to obey him in this too, just don't include me in it!"

"He won't let you go! He will go after Misaki and tell him you need to have children with some woman! Is that what you want?" Haruhiko raised his voice.

Akihiko shook his head disapprovingly. "You've always obeyed him, why don't you do it? Why is this time any different?"

Haruhiko pushed back his glasses. "It involves children, this is where I draw the line. I will not put an innocent child through the way I was raised."

"I won't either and neither will Misaki. End of discussion."

"What if Misaki finds out?" He said still trying to find a way to convince him. "Besides from being disgusted by our father. Wouldn't it made him think? He can never give you children. Will he feel he is taking away the chance for you to become a parent? He would feel like that wouldn't he? Is that why you don't want to tell him?"

Usagi let out a soft laugh and chuckled.

"Misaki is everything I need in my life right now." He said as he stood up. "This meeting was pointless. I'm leaving."

"Akihiko." Haruhiko firmly stated as his brother walked towards the exit. "If Misaki gets hurt due to anything related to this, it will be entirely on you."

Usagi pretended to not listen to his brother and walked out of the cafe.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Welcome!" Nowaki said as he greeted Usagi and Misaki with a bow. "Please come on in!" Nowaki extended his arm welcoming them inside the apartment.

"Good Afternoon Sensei!" Misaki said bowing back and walking inside followed by Usagi.

"Kusama-sensei." Usagi extended his hand towards Nowaki and after they shook hands Usagi handed them over a box of cake they had brought. "Usami-sensei, thank you very much. You shouldn't have bothered." Nowaki said politely, closing the door behind them. "It's so good to see you again. Please feel at home."

They took off their shoes and walked inside.

All the furniture in the apartment was against the walls making the inner part of the living room wider and the floor was covered by a layer of soft mats. The first thing that caught Misaki's attention was baby Takuya lying on the floor in the middle of the living room. He was face up on soft blankets with toys scattered all around him. "Takuya-kun!"

At the sudden noise of visitors the baby started waving his arms and legs very excited to see more people. He started giggling and drooling from the side of his mouth.

Hiroki was sitting on the mat right next to the baby with his legs crossed. He had toys in his hands which he immediately put down to greet his guests. He stood up and approached them extending his hand to both men.

Misaki greeted Kamijou-sensei. "Good afternoon sensei! Thanks for having us!"

"Takahashi-kun." He said with a serious grin. "It's good to see you. Please take a seat." He showed him the way to the sofa and then looked at Usagi. "Akihiko."

"Hiroki." They looked at each other for a little while until Akihiko remembered he had brought something else. "Oh!" He then handed over a bag to Hiroki.

"What's this?" Hiroki said curious receiving the large and heavy bag from Usagi.

"It's some toys and baby clothes we liked and got for Takuya-kun."

Hiroki widened his eyes. "What? More? Akihiko!" He said upset. "You already gave him so many clothes last time, he's covered for at least his entire first year of life!" Hiroki handed the bag back to Usagi who pushed it back in return.

"You can't do that. It's not for you, it's for Takuya-kun." Usagi said very matter of factly. "Besides we know we got him clothes for infants under 12 months so now we got him everything for infants under 18 months."

Hiroki narrowed his eyes and shook his head disapprovingly. "Akihiko, you are about to have two kids. The expenses that are coming for you are no joke! You should save your money and spend it wisely!"

Usagi didn't pay attention to him at all and kneeled on the floor to play with the baby. "Hi Takuya-kun!"

This got Hiroki even more mad. "Oi! Akihiko!"

Nowaki then approached Hiroki. "Hiro-san, we can't disregard Usami-san's gift. They took the time to get this for Takuya-kun." Nowaki said as he took the bag from his partner and directed a smile towards Usagi. "Once again, thank you very much Usami-san and Takahashi-kun. He will be using all of it."

"Your welcome Kusama-sensei." Usagi said while he looked at Hiroki with a victorious smile.

Hiroki just rolled his eyes and facepalmed himself.

Usagi took a seat on the sofa next to Misaki while Hiroki sat back on the floor next to his son.

"Kamijou-sensei, Takuya-kun has gotten so big!" Misaki was very surprised at how much the baby had changed in a matter of weeks.

Takuya's hair was longer, darker and his eyes were now bigger which allowed them to appreciate their deep blue color better. He also seemed to be more awake and attentive with his surroundings. The baby looked at the visitors with so much curiosity and after Misaki and Usagi smiled to him, he started moving his chubby arms and legs all over the place very excited.

Hiroki let out a half smile. "Yeah, he outgrows everything very fast."

"He looks just like you Hiroki." Usagi said.

Nowaki nodded enthusiastically. "I told you Hiro-san, he's starting to look more like you!"

"Don't say that to him." Hiroki said with a chuckle. He knew his son resembled him, but every time he looked at him, he could only see Nowaki in his eyes. Those were Nowaki's eyes.

The baby looked at Misaki and then at Usagi and started giggling and extending his little arms towards them happily.

"Hi Takuya-kun!" Misaki wanted to interact with Takuya closer so he slid down the edge of the sofa and sat down on the floor next to the baby's mat. He grabbed some toys and started waving them over Takuya, the baby couldn't be happier, he moved his arms towards the toy with so much energy it was adorable. "He's so playful!" Misaki said as he continued playing with the baby.

"Oh! He also likes talking to Nowaki." Hiroki said with a proud smile.

"Talking?" Usagi said confused. "I thought they started talking at 14 months old."

Hiroki laughed. "Someone has been reading the right books." He said smiling. "Well…" Hiroki cleared his throat. "My son is an exception. He likes to talk. And a lot." He said very proud.

Nowaki then went to his son's side, kneeled on all fours placing his hands on each side of the baby so that his face was right above him.

"Who is my baby boy?" He said through baby talk. "Who is my beautiful son?"

The baby replied cooing and laughing. "What did you have for breakfast this morning huh? Did you like what I gave you? Was it good?" Each time his dad spoke the baby would reply cooing, mimicking a conversation.

"Wow! He does reply!" Misaki said very impressed.

"Yes he does." Hiroki said proud while he looked at his son and partner with so much love.

Nowaki then stood up and sat back again on the sofa close to Hiroki who was still on the floor. "Takahashi-kun, how have you been?"

"I'm doing good, thanks. We just got back from our 25th week doctor's appointment. Doctor said everything is going well so far." Misaki said sharing a look with Usagi for a moment.

"That's great." Hiroki said as he flexed his left leg on the floor and pulled the right one towards his chest hugging it with his right arm. "How's the back pain?"

"My back is starting to hurt more often and I can't walk for long periods of time but other than that I'm fine."

Hiroki knew very well what Misaki was going through. "I barely managed with one baby I can't even imagine what it's like for you."

Misaki was happy to receive such a compliment from his once literature professor. "Thanks." He said getting a bit red.

"And how are you doing Akihiko? I see you've been reading."

"Of course I'm reading. I've read everything." He said very proud of himself.

Hiroki laughed. "Believe me when I tell you, books will only get you so far. The real deal is something else." He said defiantly. "Which reminds me, did you bring the manuscript?"

"Yes, but I left it in the car. I'll go and get it."

Nowaki then sat down on the floor and started playing with Takuya.

"Hiro-san why don't you go with Usami-sensei to the cafe nearby so you can read his manuscript there? I don't think you'll focus correctly with Takuya-kun around."

"Uhm… I guess you are right." Hiroki said as he stood up. "I don't think it will take us long, the food will be ready in thirty minutes, right?" He asked.

Nowaki nodded. "Yes and I think I can get him to sleep so we can actually have dinner."

"That sounds great." Hiroki said as he put on his coat.

"Thirty minutes, we should be back by then." Usagi said heading towards the door.

"Alright, we'll be back soon." Hiroki said as he quickly disappeared behind the front door not saying much. He made a hand motion to Usagi telling him to move fast too. Usagi wasn't sure why but he just quickly followed him.

Once outside it all made sense after Takuya's cries could be heard on the other side of the door. They were so sad making Usagi feel bad.

"Is he going to be okay?" Usagi said worried.

"Yes, he'll be fine. He gets like that when either of us leave, but once we comfort him he's fine." He said it like it was an everyday thing but in reality he felt bad for making his son cry and that's why every time he left the apartment, he fast walked out of there.

They headed to a cafe that was very close to the apartment, only a couple of blocks away so they went on foot.

Once there, Usagi requested for a private table. He had already ordered and paid for both their orders so the waitress led them through a hallway which had two entrances facing each other covered by curtains. They went inside one of them and sat down to wait for their drinks.

Akihiko grabbed his phone for a moment and then put it back on the table. As he did so, Hiroki's phone rang. When he checked it, he saw Akihiko had just sent him the manuscript.

Hiroki frowned, looking at his phone very confused.

"You just sent me the manuscript." He said with a puzzled tone.

"Yeah." Usagi said and sighed. "You can read it whenever you want, I just wanted to talk to you alone Hiroki."

Hiroki widened his eyes and put his phone away. As he did so the waitress came in and placed their orders on the table and left.

"I really don't know what to do about my father." Usagi said as he placed his elbows on the table and leaned his face on his palms.

"Did you tell Takahashi-kun about your father's plans?" Hiroki said very serious.

At the mention of his lover's name he lifted his head and faced his best friend. "No. I haven't told him."

"I told you the other day you should tell him." Hiroki said with a serious tone.

"I don't want to make the situation harder on him than it already is. Any type of stress is not good for him."

"What if your dad tells him himself?"

Usagi widened his eyes and pulled his head slightly backwards making a face of disgust for a moment. "That's not gonna happen." He let out a soft laugh. "I make sure I'm with Misaki all the time and he doesn't go out on his own that much."

Hiroki looked at his best friend with curiosity. "I know you are taking every precaution but… why is it so hard to just tell him?" Hiroki raised his voice at the last few words a bit impatient.

Usagi sighed. "My father will tell him that he wants me to have children so that the company can be passed down to a member of the family. My father doesn't know Misaki is expecting. If he finds out, I am one hundred percent sure he will want to intervene in everything related to my children. He won't leave us alone."

"But you are the parents. Your father can't even get close to the babies without you or Misaki's permission." Hiroki said very determined.

"I know. But it upsets me that my father at some point will want to get in our lives just for the benefit of his company. It's disgusting." Usagi said very annoyed.

"It is. But all these things you are mentioning right now, as of now they are just assumptions. You father doesn't know he's going to be a grandfather." Hiroki looked at a concerned Usagi. "Who knows? He might react differently." Hiroki raised the possibility.

"I don't know. I just want to protect Misaki and my children."

Hiroki sighed and frowned. "Like I said the other time we talked. You should still tell Takahashi-kun about your father's plans and assure him he won't interfere in the way you raise your kids, that's all. If somehow he finds out on his own…" Hiroki chuckled and shook his head. "He won't like the fact you hid that from him and that's gonna be on you."

There was a silent pause between the two but Hiroki continued.

"Just like you said, Takahashi-kun's condition is very special. What would happen if somehow your father told him straight away that he wants you to have kids for the sake of his company. Information can be misinterpreted in so many ways very easily." Hiroki said nodding. "I know you are worried about Takahashi-kun but don't let it get you so worked up like this. Tell him about the situation in the best way possible."

Usagi remained silent.

"Who knows? Maybe one of your kids has a thing for running a business and will want to inherit the company. Will you refuse if that's what your kid wants to do?"

Usagi only stared back at Hiroki.

"Just try to keep an open mind about it. Don't make assumptions. As much as you want to hide your children from your family, at some point they will learn about their existence. Who knows? Your father might actually want to be a grandfather to them. Don't close that door for your family. You mentioned Takahashi-kun lost his parents when he was very young, do you think he won't want his children to have a good relationship with their grandparents? You should think about all those things too."

Usagi remained silent. Deep down he knew Hiroki was right, but at the moment for Misaki's sake, he didn't want anyone else to know about his kids' existence. "All I want is for the love of my life to have a peaceful pregnancy." Usagi said looking down to his cup of coffee with sad and worried eyes. "Is that too much to ask?"

Hiroki could see a very worried expression on his best friend's face. As his close friend, he had already told him what he thought on the situation and now it was up to him to do what he chose was best for his family. "You are already thinking like a parent. I know you will do what's right for your family." Hiroki said trying to lift up his friend's spirits.

A moment later, Hiroki's phone started vibrating. It was a message from Nowaki.

"Nowaki says the food is ready." Hiroki mentally thanked Nowaki for the message.

"We should go." Usagi said still looking a bit defeated.

"You are going to love Nowaki's food. He's a very good cook!" Hiroki said walking towards the exit, trying to cheer him up.

Usagi looked at his best friend's back. Hiroki had always been there for him, they had gone through thick and thin and to know he could still count on him was a true blessing.

"Hiroki."

Hiroki turned back and when he saw his friend, he saw a sincere smile on the writer's face.

"Thank you."

Hiroki quickly turned around again to hide the red blush taking over his cheeks. "Let's go! It's gonna get cold!"

They left the cafe and headed back to the apartment.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"All I want is for the love of my life to have a peaceful pregnancy. Is that too much to ask?"

He was sure that had been Akihiko's voice. He could bet on his life that was Akihiko's voice. But did he hear correctly what he had just said?

"You are already thinking like a parent. I know you'll do what's right for your family."

He could still hear the other person speak. 'Like a parent? Your family?' Isaka's mind was running a thousand miles per hour trying to process what he had just heard. Once he heard the two men standing up, he went to the opposite side of the corridor and waited with his back towards the exit. When he heard the two men leaving, he turned at the right time to see the familiar contour of Akihiko's back walking out.

"No way." Isaka-san's jaw was all the way down to the floor. "You've got to be kidding me."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Author's Notes: As promised this fic will continue getting new chapters published. They might take a while but they will eventually be out.

In this chapter, Usagi is very unsure about how to handle the issue of his father wanting heirs to inherit his company. He's used to ignoring his father, that's what he has done all the time. But now that it involves Misaki and the babies, will he be successful in hiding what's going on from him? Is it really possible? Also Isaka-san has heard something he never thought he'd hear. What will he choose to do about it?

Thank you very much for your patience and also for taking the time to read this fic. My intention is to publish at least a chapter a month. Fingers crossed.

Also special thanks to: ChientzNimea2Wind, BlueStarLightCB, Shiranai Atsune, KitElizaKing, kit-lelouch ai, Alie, luckyinugirl and Stargazer3356 for their amazing reviews in the last chapter.
