Kame turned around, his song temporarily paused. Did Junno just tell Kame he loved him?
"Kame? The baby..." Junno smiled, pointing to Yukiko who was gurgling lazily. Struggling to get from Kame's arms, the younger put the little girl in the crib and just stared for a while. He felt Junno come up behind, wrapping his strong arms around Kame's still chubby waist and leaned his head on Kame's shoulder, sighing contentedly at watching his daughter sleep.
"Did you mean it?" Kame whispered, still not tearing his eyes away from the baby.
"Every word. You managed to make me fall in love with you every day but just then, seeing you hold our daughter and sing like that was the icing on my little strawberry cake." Junno smiled nuzzling his head playfully into Kame's neck, hearing the younger giggle cutely he ushered them out of the nursery and onto the living room couch.
"I love you too, Junno. So much." Kame smiled, looking up at Junno who was leaning above him. A goofy grin on his face before lowering his lips to Kame in a slow intoxicating kiss.
The kiss tasted different, Kame thought. It tasted like sweet, a juicy fruit like Kiwi. Or maybe a melon.
It tasted salty, like pretzels or dark chocolate sea salt bites.
It tasted like they were in love.
****Ueda's apartment, 6:30 PM****
"Ryo, I'm pregnant we can't it on the counter anymore." Ueda panted, trying to push Ryo away but still keep him deliciously close.
"Then come on Hime, let's take this to the bedroom." Ryo purred into his ear, picking the still thin man off the kitchen counter and ushering him to their room. Their lips still locked once Ryo gently laid Ueda on the bed.
Ueda hastily stripped Ryo as Ryo did the same, it was after Ryo started to kiss down his torso that Ueda felt sick.
"Ryo stop!" Ueda pushed the younger off of him before running to the bathroom to empty the contents of their romantic meal.
****10 minutes later****
"Sorry babe, it's just a symptom of pregnancy nothing to worry about." Ueda chuckled, scratching a non existent itch on his neck. He saw Ryo's expression didn't lesen any and went over to sit beside his lover on the couch.
"What's wrong, Ryo?" Ueda asked, rubbing gently on the man's arm. His own thread through it.
"Tatsuya, what happen if the baby isn't healthy?" Ryo asked, his eyes dead panned on the tv screen which wasn't even turned on.
"W-what do you mean? We can't just expect it will be unhealthy, why would you say that?" Ueda asked a bit hurt at Ryo's accusation.
"Well we can't just assume it will be healty either Ueda!" Ryo yelled and stood up from the sofa, anger written on his face.
"Why are you so angry Ryo!?" Ueda yelled equally as pissed now.
"I'm just... worried." The Osakan calmed down and took his seat next to Ueda again, this time leaning into the older's embrace. "What if our dream family doesn't turn out to be exactly as we expected it to be? What if this is a girl and she has some sort of disease or it is a boy and he has a cleft, Tatsuya I want our children to be healthy and great and perfect. Just like we imagined." Ryo looked at Ueda with his sad eyes, tears brimming up in them.
"And they will be, even if it's a girl with a disease or a boy with a cleft. Ryo, I'm going to love these children whether they are like the dreams are not because they're ours. Me and you in one, we made these kids and nothing is going to stop me from loving them. Especially some small thing like that." Ueda smiled reassuringly wiping a stray tear from his lover's face.
"I just don't want you to feel like if something goes wrong it's your fault, I can't stand to see you hurt Tatsuya. I love you." More tears escaped, not caring enough to wipe them away hastily. If he couldn't bare all in front of Tatsuya who could he bear all to?
"I love you too Ryo, so much. I can't guarantee I won't have fleeting thoughts about it being my fault but I'll get over it once I see our baby smile for the first time." Ueda gazed happily, already imagining Ryo holding their own blue bundle with the same pride in his eyes he saw Junno have.
****With KameNo****
"Junno, your turn." Kame hit Junno lazily, trying to wake the other so he could change the baby. Kame heard Junno grumble before he felt the weight leave the bed. "Don't forget clothes!" He said a little louder, his eyes never opening.
More grumble from Junno and he heard the door to the nursery open and piercing screams from Yukiko. Pulling the pillow over his ears, Kame rolled over onto Junno's side and basked in the unfamiliar warmth and very soothing scent he found.
Junno would be preoccupied for a while anyway. Depsite being the spitting image of her father, Yukiko was picky.
Just like her mother.
