�Ryuuzaki, where are you taking me?� Light growled as the detective dragged him into an elevator. �I really don�t think it matters what you have to show me. You aren�t going to convince me that you are anything more than a horrible liar.�

L ignored Light�s question, choosing instead to chew on his thumb as the elevator went up several floors. When it finally stopped and opened its doors, L grabbed Light by the wrist again and immediately began pulling him down another hall. Light growled under his breath, but decided it would probably be a lot easier if he just let L do what he wanted for now.
After about ten minutes or so of walking, they finally stopped. L reached up and gently tapped his knuckles on the door they stood in front of, barely waiting two seconds before simply opening the door and dragging Light in behind him.
Light blinked as they entered the room. No lights were on, but there was an overwhelming glow coming from monitors stacked throughout the room burning his eyes. A single chair was sitting across the room, but Light couldn�t make out who was sitting in it, if anyone was. Who works in an environment like this, anyway? he wondered while he waited for his eyes to adjust to the lighting change. His question answered itself as Watari�s voice broke the relative silence. �Ryuuzaki, Yagami-kun. Can I help you with something?�
L nodded, pulling Light farther into the room. �Light-kun seems to be rather firmly committed to the idea that I am not able to become impregnated, Watari. I realize that this conversation will most likely be both unwanted and uncomfortable, but I require your assistance in convincing Light that I am indeed carrying his child.�
The older man nodded slowly. �All right, Ryuuzaki. Yagami-kun,� he said, turning to face Light. �It may be a bit difficult for you to accept this, but the fact is that Ryuuzaki is going to have a baby.�
Light pulled his lips into a thin line, and he gave a quick shake of his head. �I don�t believe you. First of all, I know Ryuuzaki is a man. He claims to be a hermaphrodite, but if that were true, it still wouldn�t change anything, because hermaphrodites do not get pregnant. The testosterone in their body overrides the estrogen, and they are left sterile.� He glanced at the raven-haired detective for a moment before continuing. �Furthermore, if it were possible for men to give birth, even if they did have both sexual organs, there would�ve been something about it in the news by now, don�t you think?�
�Do I really seem like the type to allow the media to print that kind of story about myself, Light-kun?� L asked, nibbling on his thumb. �I never realized.�
�Yagami-kun, it is true that most hermaphrodites-�
�All,� Light cut in.
��That most hermaphrodites are sterile, but you must agree with me that Ryuuzaki has never been one to conform to what the world defines as normal.�
Light was silent for a moment. �Watari�a person can�t just decide they�re going to be a pregnant man. The body doesn�t work that way!�
�I never made the choice to be what I am, Light-kun,� L said quietly, staring at the brunet. �My body simply works in a very unique way. While most hermaphrodites have their menstrual cycles and such canceled out by the testosterone produced by their bodies, mine is not. I am able to become pregnant and give birth the same as any woman on the planet. I simply have the outer appearance of a male.�
�Ryuuzaki�� Light trailed off, a look of utter confusion on his face. �I�� He stopped for a moment to collect his thoughts before continuing. �I still find it difficult to believe I could have missed you having�having a��
�A what, Light-kun?�
Light�s cheeks turned slightly pink, and he looked away from the detective. �A vagina,� he mumbled quickly, trying to get the word out of his mouth as fast as possible.
L nodded. �Well, that is much easier to convince you of than the fact of my pregnancy. Come along,� he said, grabbing Light�s wrist and pulling him back into the hallway. �Thank you for your help, Watari,� he called over his shoulder as he dragged Light towards the bathroom.

Matsuda sighed, shoving a stack of papers across his desk. It was almost eight o�clock now, and there was still no sign of Light or Ryuuzaki. He frowned, looking towards the hallway leading to the elevators. �I hope Ryuuzaki�s okay,� he mumbled, propping his chin up on one arm.
�I�m sure he�s fine, Matsuda,� Soichiro assured the younger man, placing a fresh stack of papers on the desk. �He�s probably just finally overworked himself.�
�Shouldn�t Light-kun have come back yet, though? He�s been gone for over half an hour,� Matsuda asked worriedly.
�I suppose you do have a point there, Matsuda. I�ll go check on them.� Soichiro grunted, but before he was able to take even a single step, the two missing men quietly walked into the room.
�I apologize for my lateness, everyone,� L called out as he sat down at his computer. �I was feeling a bit ill this morning, but am much better now. Please do not allow this to distract you from work.�
Light just gave a quick nod. From the look on his face, Matsuda couldn�t help but think he�d seen something slightly traumatizing, but he couldn�t think what it might have been. Oh, well. Everyone�s here now, and everything�s right with the world, Matsuda thought happily, and went back to looking through his papers.

March 6 2005

Light stared silently at his computer screen. It had been a week and a half since L had told him about the baby, but it still hadn�t quite sunk in yet. The nineteen-year-old was still hoping this would turn out to be some kind of horrible joke, or some twisted plan of L�s to make him confess to being Kira.
Even if L really was pregnant, why hadn�t he done something about it? What would the greatest detective in the world want with a child, anyway? Was it some kind of moral issue, or one of his ideas of justice that kept him from simply terminating the pregnancy? Neither of them would have to deal with it that way.
Not that Light really wanted L to get an abortion, though. He didn�t think it seemed completely fair to deny the baby life just because they didn�t want it. He just didn�t know if he could believe that L was going to have a baby if he hadn�t even considered getting rid of it.
Although�he had told Light about it without waiting until he simply couldn�t hide it anymore. Maybe this was some sign that he wanted to give Light a chance to take the baby, or even that he wanted to form a little family and raise the child together. The brunet had a bit of difficulty suppressing a shudder at that thought. He really didn�t think he would be able to survive living with L for too much longer, let alone marrying him, or being his domestic partner, or whatever he�d be called wherever it was that L came from.
Light didn�t see what he could even do at this point. He couldn�t tell L to keep the baby, because no matter how much he said it wouldn�t be fair to kill it, or that he wanted to raise it and be a daddy, L would say he was just trying to give him something to take his attention away from the case. That would probably raise the percentage of him being Kira by about twenty percent. And of course, Light couldn�t suggest that L get rid of the baby, either, because killing an innocent little baby would seem too hostile, and L would raise his percentage of being Kira anyway.
A sudden hand on Light�s shoulder pulled him out of his thoughts, and he turned to see L standing being him. �Light-kun, the force will be here soon. I believe it would be in your best interest to focus on catching Kira, lest the others think something has happened.�
The brunet narrowed his eyes, and was about to remind L of exactly what had happened, perhaps with a fist thrown into the story, when the door opened and several force members walked in.
�You guys might want to clear the room for a while when Matsuda gets in here,� Aizawa grumbled, rubbing at his nose.
Light blinked, looking to his dad. �Why?�
Soichiro sighed, sniffing a little. �He smells as though he took a bath in his cologne this morning. Said that he dropped the bottle on the counter, and it spilled all down his suit.�
�Then why didn�t he just change before he left?� Light asked as the door opened again, and a horribly strong scent filled the room.
�I didn�t have time to, Light-kun!� Matsuda explained unhappily, standing in the doorway. �I was already running late, and it had soaked through my clothes. I would�ve needed another shower to get it all out.� He gave a sheepish smile, closing the door. �We can open a window, and the smell should be gone in a while.� The dark-haired man blinked, looking across the room. �Ryuuzaki, are you okay?�
The rest of the force turned to see L turned away from his computer, nose scrunched up and a hand over his mouth. He gave a nearly imperceptible shake of his head, jumped out of his chair, and raced down the hall to the bathroom.
Light sighed, following after the pregnant detective. �Stay here, everyone. I�ll make sure he�s okay.� He paused at the hallway, turning back to Matsuda. �And set up some fans to get the smell in here gone faster.�
L was flushing the toilet when Light reached the bathroom, and he turned to face the brunet, leaning on the counter. �Hello, Light-kun.�
�I thought morning sickness hits right after Mommy-to-be wakes up,� Light said with a frown.
�That is not entirely true, Light-kun. Morning sickness does normally occur at that time, but it can happen at any time in the day, sometimes more than once in a single day.� He paused to rinse his mouth out. �It can be caused by many different things, as well. A lack of food in the stomach is believed to be the main reason it usually occurs upon waking, but it can also be triggered by certain smells,� he said, a bit of annoyance and humor both evident in his voice.
�Well, I�m going to go get some work done. I�ll get you when the smell�s cleared out some,� Light said, slipping back into the hallway.
L nodded. �Thank you, Light-kun. I will work from my bedroom until then.�
When Light got back to the main room, Matsuda immediately pounced on him. �Is Ryuuzaki okay? He�s sick, isn�t he? Is it serious? I mean, he was sleeping a lot before, I don�t know if he still is or not, but now he�s throwing up, and I-�
�Matsuda,� Light interrupted, placing a hand on the older man�s shoulder. �Calm down. I think your cologne just set him off. He�s not usually around other people, and you�ve never come in after practically swimming in that stuff before. His nose is probably just a little sensitive to that much smell.�
�Oh,� Matsuda said, blushing a little. �So�you�re sure he�s okay?� Light nodded. �Is he gonna be coming back out today?�
�He said he�d work from his laptop until the smell�s gone. I�ll get him around lunchtime, now let�s get to work.�

Well, now, that�s more like it! Still fairly short, but it only covered a day and a half. This is the pace I really want to keep this story at. If I can keep it up, this should probably be something around 20-25 chapters, although there is some more stuff I want to squeeze in, so possibly longer.
If anyone�s wondering why the whole force arrived together�I don�t know, maybe they all go to Denny�s for breakfast on Sundays or something. March 6 was on a Sunday in 05, too. I had that thought when I wrote the scene, then I checked my computer clock because I wanted to know what day it really was. :grin: Anywho! See that pretty review button? Please click it. I�d really like to get some feedback on this!
