Important Author's Note: Hey everyone!...Hey so…look I'm very very sorry I haven't been on heh I'm almost crying writing this because I feel so bad. I know it's been since…February since I fell off the earth..look I know y'all understand that life is tough, its damn tough and not everyone can easily get through it, some people think life just isn't for them…Ha I don't know what I'm saying I don't want to make anyone sad I want you to get feels from my stories not from me being all depressing. I want y'all to know that I appreciate you, every single one of you. Wow I probably sound like a total dork since this is just a fan fiction account and all…but seriously I appreciate my readers. I know DRRR! Isn't a big fandom, and I hope that changes with the coming of season 2…but every day even now I get people favorite and liking my stories, putting me on their favorite Author's list and all that and I'm shocked and overjoyed that no one has really forgot about me. I don't know why I get the attention I do, I know when I first started writing I sucked, like no argument I literally look at my old stories and want to hit myself because damn do I know what grammar is XD? I keep them up though so I can look back at my progress to now and if you've been with me since the beginning I think you can agree I did get better (somewhat). Anyway I know you want to get to the story so I'll wrap up this sappy note; the reasons I stay is because I love you guys, you're my family, I love talking to you, and this place helps me with my writing. I'm going to try and get on the computer to write as much as I can, and If I'm gone for another couple months don't worry, because I'll always answer if you message me, and I'll always ALWAYS come back. I love you guys, thanks for sticking with me through all this.–Love Alois

"Hey flea, where do you want this?" Shizuo huffed as he held a filled packing box in his arms; the brunet looked over his shoulder from the couch and waved a hand dismissively.

"Stuff that I'm giving away in one pile, stuff I'm throwing away in another pile, and stuff I'm keeping by my desk." He said in an almost ordering tone as he turned and went back to typing away on his laptop. His internet browser was full of tabs labeled boy's baby furniture, how to treat you newborn, nutrition for newborns, and what to expect with your newborn child.

"Never thought I'd actually be taking your orders." The blonde grumbled as he easily carried the heavy box and placed it next to the front door. All day the two had been packing up one of Izaya's extra rooms in his apartment and putting things in boxes; well it was more like Izaya standing in the doorway and telling Shizuo what goes in which box. The brunet's stomach continued to grow over the past few weeks, causing him to have to keep his feet up for a few hours a day from the swelling in his ankles.

"Oh shut up, I didn't know the strongest man in Ikebukuro was a big cry baby." The brunet commented as he pulled up another page on his computer. "Come here and look at the stuff I picked out." He said, clicking into his shopping cart to show the blonde what he picked out for their baby. Shizuo grunted and came to stand behind the other, leaning his crossed arms across the back of the couch and looking over the brunet's shoulder.

"I got all the best stuff, just furniture though I want to go out to stores and pick out toys and clothes for our little monster." Izaya said happily as he showed Shizuo a light blue crib, vanity, high-chair, car seat and a few more furniture items. "Do you like it? If you don't then too bad, I think they're all perfect."

"Yeah yeah I like them, I mean as long as they hold the kid safely and are comfortable I don't really care what they look like but…isn't this all a little expensive? I don't know if I'll be able to pay my share of that then get clothes and all that other crap." He said, rubbing the back of his neck in thought.

"Huh? I wasn't expecting you to pay for anything; I can easily pay for this without putting a dent in my funds. So you like it? Good, tomorrow let's go pick out a paint color for the room. Maybe we can get some of those wallpaper things that have little ducks or them or whatever." He said, going back into the search bar to look at the list of items the "Your baby and you" website suggests on getting to see if he forgot anything.

" I think little monsters would be better suited for our kid." The blonde sighed before thinking about what the brunet said. "Hey, I can afford to pay for some things for him; I don't want you to be the only one getting our kid stuff." The blonde said in a bit of an angry tone; Izaya just responded with a bored expression.

"Relax Shizu-chan it doesn't matter who buys the stuff, money doesn't buy love." He said before looking at his computer again. "Well with my parents it sometimes did." He said with a grin. "Now go back to putting the boxes out I want to get it all clean so we can get paint tomorrow, also you need to put the boxes out so they can be picked up." Shizuo gave him a scowl before going back to get another box while the pregnant flea kept looking at things to buy their child.

"Well I'm still the one who bought the first thing." Shizuo said as he placed a box by Izaya's desk, talking about the little bear he had bought a few weeks ago.

"Yes yes you are the best daddy in the whole world Shizu-chan." Izaya said, trying not to sound too sarcastic since he didn't want to lose his slave monster labor. After all the boxes were sorted outside the room Izaya ordered everything he had picked out and not so easily stood up from the couch.

"Bring those boxes downstairs to be put out to the garbage; I'm going to vacuum the room out." The brunet said, a little out of breath as he went to the broom closet to get out the vacuum. Shizuo propped the door open so it would be easy to go in and out before taking two of the large boxes into his arms.

"…You sure you're okay to do that? Why don't you start making dinner or keep sitting down, I can do that." The blonde asked, feeling as if he was holding a feather and not two full boxes.

"Aw is Shizu-chan worried about me? My back is hurting I want to walk around a little, you've done a lot I should give my baby daddy a break." He teased before turning and rolling the vacuum into the now empty room; Shizuo stood there until he heard the vacuum turn on and started out the door to bring the boxes downstairs. Izaya kept one arm under his pregnant stomach in a cradling position and pushed the vacuum around the room with the other, mentally planning out which furniture item would go where. He smiled at thinking of his little baby sleeping in this very room right next to his own, but on his smiling cheeks he felts something warm drip down them. His brow furrowed as he stopped the vacuum and felt the tears on his cheek, in his gut he could feel himself start to choke up.

"What the hell?" He almost whimpered as his eyes closed and he started to actually cry. He hadn't had one of these mood swings in a while, and when he did it was usually at night and he would go in the bathroom and cry it out so Shizuo wouldn't see. He hated this, he wasn't sad yet he was leaning over the vacuum crying.

"Pitiful..." Was the only word that came to his mind as he tried to hold his cracking voice and rub the tears from his eyes, praying that Shizuo took his time with the boxes.

"Ok flea I'm done with the boxes, what do you want for din-"Shizuo started to say as he walked down the hall, but stopped when he got to the doorway. He stood there for a few moments, trying to figure out what he thought was true before rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"You ok fl-..Izaya?" He asked in a bit of a quiet tone, he never got used to seeing the informant cry, it always made him feel strange inside. The brunet didn't want to speak and have his voice crack so he kept facing away from him and waved a hand harshly for him to go away. Besides gaining the weight this was one of the things really hated about being pregnant, going from completely fine to horribly depressed in a matter of a minute.

"Don't…don't cry flea…come on there's nothing wrong." Shizuo said in a surprisingly gentle tone, Izaya immediately opened his eyes when he felt the taller male wrap his arms around him. Izaya could feel the blonde lean his head on top of his and pull him close against his body. "Don't cry, the room looks really good the kid is going to love it…and uh..You look uh..Good too…you don't even look like you're gaining weight anywhere but your stomach…but in a good way! I mean.. You don't look fat or anything just pregnant...but not in a bad way..uh.." The bodyguard just kept on babbling, not really know which reason why the informant was crying. He was shocked when this didn't make the informant start to cry more but made him start to laugh.

"Shut up Shizu-chan…you're such an idiot." He laughed; this made Shizuo relax since it sounded like the flea's actual laugh, and for once it didn't make him completely pissed off out of his mind. Izaya turned and leaned against the other in a sort of hug. "Thank you stupid Shizu-chan." The informant mumbled, wiping the last of his tears on his sleeves. Shizuo let the other lean against him and even gave him a little hug back.

"Yeah yeah…ok get off me flea it's gross. I'm making dinner why don't you go sit back on the couch I'll finish cleaning the room later." Shizuo said before finally letting go of him.

"I can finish vacuuming; make something spicy I'm craving that." Izaya said as he turned back to turn on the vacuum; he could hear Shizuo sigh at this before turning to walk out of the room. "Thank you house wife Shizu-chan~" he laughed, grinning more when he heard Shizuo yell "shut up" from down the hall. As Izaya started vacuuming again he found himself grabbing his shirt and breathing in the scent left by the blonde. "Hmmm" he hummed to himself, not really noticing, or his brain just rejecting the thought of what he was doing as he continued to make the baby's room clean.

Quick ending author's note: I like these chapters where you can see how their relationship is progressing and it's a nice pace and you can see them getting more attached to the baby and everything. I hope you guys like it to! Send me some of your boy baby name suggestions; maybe with a meaning behind it too, also it should be a Japanese name! I'll pick my favorite and give you credit in my author's note for picking the name. I also put a new pole up on my page if you'd like to vote on it, and I updated my profile page all together! Love you guys, thanks for reading!
