This beautiful piece of genius that will tug the heartstrings, titillate the mind and tickle the funny bone was created by the superb shipper sisters, axayashinoceres KATastrofic222.

So do not be fooled. It is their names who should be gracing this work of genius' by-line.

And it is a great service to the community to present it to you, dearest reader.

"Alright. That should do it, all that's left is to send the note to Nakamori-keibu and Jirokichi-san." Kaito mused, folding his arms behind his head and leaned back. Thoughts of his famous detective girlfriend came unbidden and he smiled goofily to himself. Speaking of which, Shin-chan was so sexy on that day, roughly a little over three months ago. It was their fourth anniversary since they began dating and he had planned out the whole day to make it special.

He blushed to himself as he remembered how she rewarded him that night. He sighed as he recalled that since that night they never got the chance to be intimate again. What with their final requirements being due, exams studied and taken, and then graduation. They couldn't even have a private celebration for graduating as her parents and his mother decided on their own to celebrate together at the Kudous' seaside villa for a weekend party.

He abruptly sat up straight and ruffled his head in frustration. Thinking about her makes him want to see her all the more today. But he can't because he had to prepare for his heist in two weeks.

"Young Master," a familiar voice called for his attention.

"Ah, Jii-chan. Perfect timing. I just finished the heist note. Send it out in two days."

Two weeks later, Kaito got it into his head to call out the Detective Boys as he had hours before tonight's show begins. Besides, he was curious if the kids had seen or hung out with their mentor lately.

"Shinichi-neesan?" Ayumi hummed before looking up at the magician. "I remember seeing her with Ran-neesan at the mall today! Right, Mitsuhiko-kun? Genta-kun?"

"Yes! If I recall correctly, they were going to buy some clothes," the freckled boy says with a nod.

"Huh? I thought they were going to buy something to eat," Genta commented in confusion. "Because, Shinichi-neesan kept rubbing her stomach." Just then his own stomach rumbled quite loudly and he blushed in embarrassment.

"Looks like you're the hungry one here, Genta," Mitsuhiko pointed out in a dry tone.

"Shut up! I'm a growing, sixth grader boy," the larger boy yelled out in irritation.

Kaito chuckles and pats the grumpy boy fondly. "You guys haven't eaten lunch yet, right? How about I, good 'ol Kaito-niichan treat you all to lunch as thanks for the information!"

The three aspiring detectives looked at each other then cheered with Genta chanting 'eel on rice' over and over. Earning a laugh from both of his friends. Kaito watched the three fondly from behind. To think he'd be able to watch them grow into great detectives from up close. Let alone be able to hang out with them since the Trap Island incident. Well, it has been a while since Ran-chan and Shin-chan hung out together so maybe it's alright for him not to seek her out this time.

"Achoo!"

"Did you catch a cold? That's not good..." Ran rested her forehead against her childhood friend's to check her temperature. "Hm...Your temperature is normal...maybe someone's talking about you?"

"Who knows," Shinichi sighed. "On another note, don't you think we bought too much clothes?"

"Well, we can't be too careful. Besides they all look great on you," Ran smiled, earning another sigh from the detective.

"Shinichi? Oh, she's in the bathroom at the moment. Do you want me to pass on a message for you?"

"... Ah, well yes, if you don't mind. I'm in the middle of something now but could you tell her I'll take her out tomorrow? I won't be busy for a while starting tomorrow."

"You must really miss her, huh? Alright I'll tell her you called. You better make it up to her tomorrow!"

"Yeah. Thanks, Ran! I gotta go, work calls. Bye!" He drops his head with a sigh once the call ends. "She's not coming to this heist either, huh..." He shook his head, showman's grin back in place as he stood up. "The sooner I finish this, the sooner I get to see Shin-chan!"

The night was filled with color as fireworks decorated the sky with resounding booms. The loud cheers of KID's fans and the equally loud bellows of one Nakamori Ginzo completed the festive atmosphere. Though somewhere in the crowd you could probably see the inspector's daughter, yelling support for her father and the downfall of the gentleman thief.

"Damn you, KID," Jirokichi Suzuki cursed at his quick defeat. "Even with my carefully planned traps and high-end security system, he still managed to steal my Tristar Tiara. If only the Kid Killer was here," he shook in fury.

"Where is he? Where is KID!? Check all the security footages. You three, follow me to the roof." Nakamori gritted his teeth. Somehow he got the feeling that KID is a little too intense tonight. Like he's in a hurry. So they have to hurry as well and catch that no good thief once and for all! Before he could reach for the door to the roof, he had accidentally tripped a trap. "KID!"

"With Kudou Shinichi out of the race, it seems like the KID Task Force are having an even harder time trying to catch the ever elusive Moonlight Magician!"

"Hey look he's at the rooftop now!"

"What?! Quick! Focus the cam at KID!"

KID threw his arms wide open and made a glorious bow. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Tristar Tiara is now in my hands. My compliments to Master Suzuki for another wonderful bounty."

Shinichi turned the television's volume down, cellphone earring in hand. "Kaito's probably done with his work by this time. I guess now's a good time as any..." she carefully dialed a familiar number and waited for her boyfriend to pick up.

"Young Master it seems you have an incoming call from the Young Mistress."

"Shin-chan?!" He felt his mouth stretch into a goofy grin as he carefully pocketed the night's target. The disappointment of it not being the one he was looking for was quickly overshadowed by the thought of his wonderful girlfriend calling him. "Go put her on the line, Jii-chan!"

"But you're still in the middle of the heist, Young Master!"

"It's fine, I doubt they'd be able to escape the special trap I put in at the spur of the moment. I'm in the middle of making my escape anyway." He paused. Come to think of it...why did she call? She doesn't usually call me during my heists, but then again she's usually the one who's chasing me around so that makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm just overthinking things.

He smiled when he heard the call connect.

"...Kaito?"

"Ah, Shin-chan? This is unusual. What's up?" Kaito asked as he checked the current wind direction. East.

"Can you talk now? I have some...news."

His brows furrowed at her slightly hesitant tone. "Yeah, I'm almost done actually. What do you want to tell me?" He froze a little when he heard the door to the roof slam open. Crap! How did they get out of that one fast?

"Get back here, KID!" Nakamori yelled, coated in all things sparkly and beautiful. Plus feathers.

"Kuroba Kaito, the truth is..." her words rang clearly in his ear as he jumped off the building. And just as he was about to press the switch for his hang glider… "I'm pregnant."

His brain short-circuited. "P-pardon...?"

The shouts of his fans and the KID Task Force fell on deaf ears as the white clad thief plummeted from the sky.

Shinichi shot out of her seat and stared at the television screen. "Your wings...open your wings, KID!" He kept falling. "Hurry open your wings!"

She slumped back to her seat in relief after watching the gem thief fly across the night sky unscathed. Stupid thief.

"...Um...Shin-chan?"

"Ah, sorry. I was watching KID's heist while I was working on some cases."

"Shin-chan…?"

"Yes, Kaito?"

"I'm coming over."

She blinked. "Alright."

True to his word, Kaito appeared at her doorstep half an hour later. It was out of character for him to wear such a serious expression, but she didn't say a word. She led him to the living room and took the seat in front of him after handing him a mug of hot chocolate. Instead of downing it in one gulp like he usually does, he settled with tapping his fingers on the mug. When it seemed like the silence was going to stretch on, Kaito spoke. Eyes still on his mug of slightly-less-hot chocolate.

"...It all makes sense. What those kids told me today," the magician shook his head, as if to wake himself from a trance. "You and Ran-chan buying clothes, Genta-kun seeing you rub your stomach...you were even in the bathroom when I called but Ran-chan answered instead of you." He rested the mug on a provided coaster and leaned back against the sofa. "It all makes sense."

"Yes," she merely said, calm and serene in her seat across from him. She observed him silently and was curious when he suddenly had this determined expression on his face.

Kaito made up his mind and grabbed his mug of hot chocolate and gulped it down in one gulp, wincing in pain when the burn registered upon his senses. Then he stood up and marched towards Shinichi. She braced herself for something though who knows what he'll do at this point.

And then, for all intents and purposes, Kaito, for lack of a better word, pounced on her and began whining like a child. "Pregnant! For three months too! Why didn't you tell me?!" He whined, rubbing his cheek against hers. With a mind like his, it wasn't that hard to determine how many months his girlfriend was in.

"Graduation was right around the corner and both of us were busy with our requirements. If you knew you'd be too busy pampering me like what you're doing now," Shinichi replied. "And judging from that sloppy exit earlier I might have overestimated you a little. You flew here right after your heist, didn't you?"

When it looked like he was going to say something, she held up a finger.

"And," she added sternly. "No amount of denial is getting you out of this one, right? Kaitou KID." She smiled at him like the cat that got the canary.

"...How long have you known?" he asked instead.

Gently pushing him off her, she replied with a huff. "Stupid, I've known from the start. I just didn't bring it up."

Kaito leaned his head back on the backrest and laughed to himself. "I should have known it's futile to keep anything from you, Tantei-chan." He engulfed her in a hug and pecked her on the nose. "I suppose we should start thinking of names for our baby, hm?"

"Don't get ahead of yourself, thief," she frowned up at him, unknowingly pouting cutely. "Anyway...our conversation doesn't end there actually."

"Hm? In that case, where does it end?"

The young detective rested her head on his shoulder, "Ran is going away for a vacation so I was wondering if I could move to your place for the time being."

Kaito smiled lovingly at her, "I'd be more than happy to oblige." He leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on her lips.

The next day Kaito came back home to change clothes before going back to Shinichi and help her with her luggage. Jii was ecstatic to hear the good news and was puttering around in the kitchen while humming happily to himself. It made him smile to see the old man happy. Just as he was set to leave the house, his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ah, Kaito?" Aoko's voice filtered through the speaker. "Well? Has Kudou-san told you the good news yet?"

"Aoko?" Kaito mumbled in confusion. "Ah! Don't tell me you knew about it too! Ran-chan I understand, but you? Shouldn't the father of the child learn of the news first in this kind of situation? Man…" he grumbled sulkily.

Aoko merely giggled. "So she did! What can I say, BaKaito, we girls are tight. Bye then!"

"You called me just for this, Ahoko!?" he yelled but she had already hung up on him. "Ah, whatever. Jii-chan, I'm heading out again!"

Jii came out of the kitchen while drying his hands with a towel. "Of course, Young Master. Take care on the way. Please pass on my congratulations to the Young Mistress."

Aoko was there to help them move the luggage to his room when the lovers arrived. She would jab at Kaito now and then by stating how cute it was to see the infamous prankster treat the detective as though she was as fragile as china. Much to the irritation of Shinichi. Most of the afternoon was spent helping her organize her belongings-all of which were stored in Kaito's room for obvious reasons.

Shinichi eyed the large pack of crackers innocently resting on top of his bedside drawer, she looked at the magician with a knowing smirk. "I see you've done your research."

"Of course I did," he huffed, hands resting on his hips. "You've spent your whole life recklessly chasing murderers it's about time you get pampered." He winked. "You can expect more of those in the next few months, Shi~n-chan!"

Instead of her usual snark, she flashed him a tender smile instead. "Thanks, Kaito."

Totally caught off guard, his poker face slipped. He looked away, trying to will the blushing away. Mood swings. Right. Pregnancy does that even to his beloved detective.

Some time in the middle of the night, he accompanied her to his bathroom, holding her hair away from her face and rubbed her back as she emptied her stomach. He left to fetch her a glass of water after helping her back to his bed, which she downed in four careful gulps. Once he was sure she was okay he helped her lie down before doing the same.

"Hey, Kaito…?"

"Hm?"

"What about your heists?" Clear blue orbs stared up to indigo ones.

"Hah? I didn't plan any heists after last night though…?"

"That's not what I meant and you know it," She frowned, which relaxed a couple of beats later. "What I mean is...wouldn't Nakamori-keibu worry if you suddenly disappeared?"

"You're so silly, Shin-chan. How can I think of leaving you behind every time I go on heists?" Kaito started. "The Crows are long gone, I have all the time in the world."

"But Nakamo-" he pressed a finger on her lips.

"Shi~n-chan! I believe it's time for you and I to sleep," he chuckled when she wore an unimpressed expression. "Don't worry! I already took care of it." She narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion before conceding defeat. It didn't take them long to fall asleep in each other's arms.

On the following day, Kaito posted a note for the morning newspaper. Unsurprisingly it made front page and had Nakamori slack-jawed upon opening his papers to read the news like he always does during breakfast.

To my dearest fans,

I shall be on a year-long sojourn in the shadows.

My treasure has its vault full and I shall be too busy giving them all my love and care.

KAITOU KID
