Summary: Six years have gone by since the birth of Hikari and everyting seems to be going fine with the family of three, but will it last? Or will something happen that threatens to tear them apart?

Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!

Time had gone by fast. Izaya could almost not believe it that his little girl was already becoming six years old tomorrow. Six years had gone by since she was born and now she was already going to be a first grader next year. It felt like it was only yesterday that he held the small girl in his arms, looking for the first time at his perfect daughter.

Hikari had ended up with his raven colored hair, but had Shizuo's brown eyes. The combination couldn't have been more perfect. It wasn't clear yet if she had inherited Shizuo's strength, since she had never used it before, but it was possible that she didn't have it. What she did have was his brains, since she was quite smart for someone her age, she could already outsmart Shizuo in games, even though that was not something hard to do.

He could still remember the first word she said and when she took her first steps. Which had both been quite early, she had been just a year when she could already walk a bit and she could already say some words.

Izaya had taught her almost everything he thought she should know and was still teaching her things when he felt like it was the right time to teach her or if she asked questions.

Where Shizuo and him had both been a bit awkward in the beginning because they were taking care of a girl, but soon it became not that noticeable anymore and they were able to handle it better. Izaya was still worried for when it got later on in her life, but for now they were handling it just fine.

"Mama, we're home!" Izaya looked up from his screen to see his girl walking into the apartment followed by Shizuo. The two had gone to do some grocery shopping and were back, seeing Shizuo was carrying the bags.

Izaya couldn't help a smile from appearing on his face when his daughter came over to him and climbed on his lap when Izaya had turned his chair towards her.

"How was the shopping?" He asked and hugged Hikari softly against his chest.

"It was great, but daddy wouldn't let me carry any of the bags home." Izaya could only laugh at the pout the girl was giving him.

"He's doing that to me every time too." Izaya said and then looked up when Shizuo came in front of them.

"You know that was only when you were pregnant." Shizuo said, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. "And the bags were too heavy for Hikari to carry." He added.

"That's not true, I would be able to carry at least one." Hikari protested and got off her mother's lap to go over to the kitchen table where the bags were sitting. She climbed on one of the chairs and went to grab one of the bags, but before she could, Shizuo had already picked her up and was taking her away from the table.

"I told you not to carry them." This time Shizuo's voice was a bit stern.

"Just let her carry one next time, Shizu-chan." Izaya said, but he was already focussing on his screen again. "Can you start on dinner? I need to finish some work." Normally he would have been fine with cooking, but he had to finish this today, so he wouldn't need to work tomorrow.

"Sure, Hikari do you want to help?" Izaya glanced over the top of his screen to see his daughter nodding enthusiastically.

"Yes!" And with that the two of them left for the kitchen, leaving Izaya to finish his work.

It took him about half an hour to finish the work and just as he had shut down his computer he saw Hikari walking out of the kitchen and looking towards him. "Are you finished mama?" Izaya nodded while he stood up from his chair, stretching his body for a bit, since he had been sitting in the chair for quite a while.

"Yeah, are you done preparing dinner?" Izaya walked over to Hikari while he said this.

"Yes! I was just coming to get you." She said and grabbed his hand as soon as he was close enough and dragged him towards the kitchen. Once inside, he could smell the dinner and he couldn't deny that it smelled good.

"It smells good." He commented and then sat Hikari down at the table before sitting down himself.

"Of course it would smell good." Shizuo said and placed three plates on the table for each person one. "Hikari helped me make it after all." Izaya could see a smile appearing on his daughter's face at those words.

"I bet it tastes good too." Izaya said and then grabbed his chopsticks before taking the first bite. It definitely tasted good, but he had already known that Shizuo was a good cook. "It tastes good." He said and the smile on Hikari's face only got brighter before she started eating herself.

Izaya kept eating himself till he noticed some rice sticking to Hikari's cheek. He leaned over a bit and then took the rice away with his finger. "You'd rice on your cheek." He gave as an answer, before going back to his own food.

"You could have just told me." Hikari pouted, but went on with eating anyway.

"Hm, I just wanted to do it." Izaya said and a smirk appeared on his face when Hikari started pouting.

"I could have done it myself. I'm already becoming six tomorrow." Izaya's smirk didn't disappear at that.

"Six is not that old yet, you know?" But Izaya really felt like the six years were going too fast. Before he would know it, his girl would already be a first grader and he honestly felt insecure about that.

"Still, that means I'm going to be a first grader soon!" She said and that made Izaya's smirk fade. It was clear that Shizuo noticed it, since he placed his hand on Izaya's free hand.

"Just eat your food and then get to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day." Shizuo said and without saying anything more Hikari ate the rest of her food.

"Alright, I'm done!" She said and then hopped off her chair. "Can I watch some tv before I need to go to bed?" Izaya had a hard time resisting the pleading eyes, but that was where Shizuo came in.

"You don't want to be tired tomorrow, so let's get you to bed alright?" Shizuo said and walked over to Hikari, before leaving together, leaving Izaya behind.

Izaya sat for a moment before he pushed himself up and gathered the plates before he started washing the dishes.

Once he was finished with the dishes he went back into the living room, where Shizuo was already sitting on the couch. A small smile crept upon Izaya's face while he walked over to the blonde and sat down beside him before leaning against him.

"Is Hikari asleep?" Izaya asked while he turned to look at the blonde.

"Yeah, she is." Shizuo answered, but didn't turn his head, which irritated Izaya a little. It wasn't really surprising, since Kasuka was on the tv, but Izaya really wanted the blonde's attention right now.

"Shizu-chan?" Izaya tried, but he only received a confirming hum as a response. Having enough of being ignored, Izaya climbed onto the blonde's lap, so that Shizuo wouldn't have any other choice but to look at him. Izaya didn't say anything this time, but closed in and softly kissed the blonde on the lips.

But he got disappointed when the blonde didn't kiss him back. "Shizu-chan? Why are you ignoring me?" Izaya whined and leaned back a bit to get more distance between them.

"I'm watching tv right now Izaya." The blonde stated simply and it was clear that he was looking past Izaya at the tv.

"Is your brother really more important than me? You can record this if you want." Izaya said, but he got ignored completely this time. Making a frustrated sound, Izaya stood up from the blonde's lap and turned to walk away towards their bedroom. "Can't believe your brother is more important than me." He mumbled before heading up the stairs and leaving the blonde behind.

"Mama! Papa!" Izaya groaned when he heard a voice waking him up from his sleep. He opened his eyes slowly and blinked a few times, before his eyes focussed on his daughter standing beside the bed.

"What is it Hikari?" Izaya mumbled and slowly pushed himself into a sitting position.

"It's my birthday!" Izaya was still not completely awake but when he heard that he couldn't help but smile at his daughter.

"Come here." He said and opened his arms, before Hikari came into them and he could hug her. "Happy birthday." He said and hugged her a bit more before he looked at her. "Can you go downstairs on your own? Then I will get your father to wake up." Izaya said and with a nod, Hikari left the room.

Izaya sighed for a moment before turning to Shizuo, but got surprised when he saw that the blonde was already awake. "You could have said something if you were awake." Izaya grumbled. He was still a bit upset about what had happened last night, but he wasn't going to have a fight with Shizuo on his daughter's birthday.

"I just wanted to watch you two interact." Shizuo said and stood up from the bed, grabbing some clothes to put on.

"Now you sound like me." Izaya said and laid down in the bed again, closing his eyes. "I really want to get some more sleep, but I guess that's not going to happen."

"You can stay here a bit longer if you want to?" Shizuo proposed, but Izaya shook his head.

"She will definitely want her present and you can't really give it when I'm not there." Izaya said and then stood up from the bed, before getting dressed himself. "I'm going to get her present, can you go down the stairs already?" Izaya asked and then went into another room. They had gotten a kitten for their daughter, together with the stuff a cat would need, but those were already downstairs, while they had kept the cat in the guest room.

Izaya opened the door and went inside to see the black kitten sleeping on the bed and Izaya couldn't help but smile when he picked the kitten up and kept it in his arms while he walked out the room and down the stairs.

Once downstairs he could see Hikari sitting on the couch with Shizuo. "Hikari, are you ready to get your present?" Izaya asked while he was still a bit away from the other two.

"Yes!" She said and bounced up and down for a bit on the couch before Izaya came closer and she could see the kitten in his arms. "Is that a kitten?" Her whole face was lighting up and Izaya couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, she is." Izaya said and then handed the kitten over to his daughter. "She's your birthday present, along with those." Izaya said and then pointed to the other presents. "What do you want to name her?" Izaya asked, since the kitten didn't have a name yet.

"Kuro, that's what I'm going to name her." Hikari said, while she kept the kitten in her lap.

The rest of the morning Hikari played with the kitten and opened her other presents. In the afternoon, more people came for her birthday and so it was a busy day in the end, but Izaya was happy to see his daughter this happy.
