style='font-size:10.5pt'>Chapter 6: And Baby Makes Three

style='font-size:10.5pt'> 

They had not been married for
very long.  In fact the ceremony had only
just finished when it started making
the rounds.  That dreaded word.

Baby.

Why did people always leap to
the assumption that as soon as a couple wed, they would start a family
immediately?  It might just be the most
logical next step.  Like the blue of the
sky.  The green of the grass.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Just like two comes after one.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  But could they have children?style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Should they?

Baby.

Shuichi liked the sound of
that.  To have a baby with his
husband.  He had to giggle at that.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Husband. 
Who would have thought?  To say
Maiko and their mother were thrilled when they learned that he and Eiri were
going to get hitched would be an understatement.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  As for his father?style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Who knows? 
He appeared supportive enough, which shocked Shuichi greatly, what with
him being the only son, but Shuichi was not about to look a gift horse in the
mouth.  And of course, his mother was the
main voice behind the rumor that her son and new son-in-law were “looking to
start a family”.

“Mo~om!”

“What?style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  I’m not getting any younger, Shuichi.”

After all the guests had gone
home and Shuichi and Eiri were wrapped in each other’s arms relearning how to
breathe, it was not Shuichi, surprisingly, who brought up the topic, but
Eiri.  “We don’t have to, you know.”

Shuichi pouted
dramatically.  “You don’t want to have a
baby with me?”

Eiri rolled his eyes.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Ever the pessimistic.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “I said no such thing.”

“But-!”

“But what?” Eiri
snapped.  His beyond exasperated.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  He was sorry he ever brought it up.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  The lack of sleep must be finally catching up
with him.  It was affecting his reasoning.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “All I’m saying is that you shouldn’t let
what your mom or anybody else says affect your decision.”

“Oh.”style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Shuichi bit his lip and started off at
nothing in particular, lost in thought.

When Shuichi remained silent
for much longer than he was used to, Eiri nudged his lover turned boyfriend
turned fiancé turned husband.  “Hey.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  What’s up?”

Shuichi hummed from deeply
within his throat.  “Just thinking,” he
answered distracted.

Eiri scoffed.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “Don’t hurt yourself.”

Shuichi threw Eiri a glare
full of malice and discontent.

Eiri snickered.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  His face softened as he reached out with his
free hand and tucked a stray strand of bright pink hair behind Shuichi’s
ear.  Gently he trailed his fingers down
Shuichi’s flushed face.  “Are you happy?”

His face practically glowing,
Shuichi smiled tenderly up at his husband. 
He tipped into the large, warm hand cupping his face.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “I’ve never been happier,” he admitted.

Eiri lowered his face until
their lips were but a kiss away.  “Good,”
he whispered huskily.

Violet eyes went wide.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  A rosy tint colored Shuichi’s already flushed
face as Eiri captured his lips with his own. 
Alternately deep and shallow, the multitude of kisses took Shuichi’s breath
away and scattered his thoughts into the four winds.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  A deeply rooted heat that never truly
dissipated rose quickly within him and swept him away.

Baby.

Maybe it wouldn’t be so
bad.  No. 
It’s not such a bad idea at all.

In the last chapter, I told you that my poem was scattered throughout
it.  But just in case, you didn’t get it
here it is:

Things like (I want to make
