Chapter 2

Meanwhile…

"She left me a key. In case anything happens. Her parents have one, and now we do too," Hikari was putting it on her own keychain as they drove.

"That's good. I AM family after all."

"You're not upset are you?"

"No, not really. I mean, yeah, I missed out on the first 10 years of his life, but…"

"You're worried about Yamato."

Takeru frowned.

"He's not going to like the fact that she kept this a secret. He's especially not going to like the fact that he got married to the wrong girl for the wrong reasons."

"Takeru!" Hikari scolded, "That's not a very nice thing to say."

"I'm not saying anything about her- I like Sora. I think she's amazing to put up with my brother for so long, and she's honestly a really sweet girl."

"I know."

"He was going to leave Sora. The week Mimi left all those years ago. He actually told me he was going to break it off with her for good and follow Mimi to New York. Apparently during the separation he and Sora went through, they were a thing. I never understood it, but I think he fell for her."

"It -is- a bit unconventional. Though I think falling for her is a bit of an understatement with the physical evidence that speaks for itself. Why didn't he follow her?"

"Part of it was because she wouldn't answer his phone calls. Just out of the blue. Stopped answering, stopped talking to Sora, stopped talking to everyone else besides you and Joe. He was going to drop everything and go, but when that happened, he second guessed himself. He thought he did something wrong and took it as a sign to try again with Sora. The rest is history."

"It's like a soap opera. Drama was never my sort of thing," Hikari put her keys away and leaned back in the seat.

"Kinda late for that, don't you think?" Takeru grinned at her.

"It's been late for that. Have you met my brother?"

"Have you met mine?"

"Touché… so what are we going to tell him?"

"We'll tell him the truth. Mimi's back in town and has a kid."

"And?"

"And that's it. Mimi doesn't want him to know yet, so I'm not going to tell him anything. I know my brother, and I know how he'd react. He needs to hear it from her."

"And Sora?"

"That's a whole other story… ex-girlfriends are one thing, but ex-friends are a totally different ball game. Especially when she finds out the reason why she left back to New York and stopped talking to her."

"Yeah, but what are we going to tell her?"

"The same thing," he parked, and turned off the ignition, taking a deep breath, "Okay, so yeah, I'm a little upset by the whole thing. You knew, and you didn't tell me. All you told me was that Mimi had a little boy and that she didn't want anyone to know. You never told me I was an uncle. Do you know how much I would have been there for her if I knew that?!"

"Takeru…"

"You were keeping a promise, I get that, but…"

"Please don't tell your brother that I knew the whole time?"

"I thought you said you didn't like drama?"

"We're here to tell them about US, remember?" Hikari took his hand, "You're going to figure out his schedule, then we're gonna break the good news to your brother and Sora. They don't need the added stress."

"We may as well enjoy our time while we can. Once everyone sees Hiroyuki, there's no denying it. I'm sure someone will order a DNA test, but have you SEEN that kid?"

"Yep. Mimi says he even acts like him sometimes."

He smiled at her and kissed her cheek before they stepped out of the car and headed into his brother's home.

"Yamato, really, your brother's about to be here and you haven't even cleaned up this mess in the living room. I work too ya know."

"And it's just my brother and sister-in-law, and more than that, it's just Takeru and Hikari. They don't care about any mess, it's not like they're the press or anything."

"It would still be nice to clean up for a change."

"Why don't you do it? I'll clean when you start cleaning."

"Yamato, now is not the time for this." There was a buzz at the door and Yamato stood up, helping Sora clean as he called out.

"Be there in sec little bro!"

He threw the last of the garbage away and quickly dusted the table and chairs in the living room.

"Thank you…" Sora quietly told him as she lit a few candles in the home.

He walked to the door and opened it wide, allowing Hikari in, but stopping Takeru at the door.

"Well thank you for letting my wife in, but what about me?"

"Who was it in the car this morning? Who was with you?"

Takeru crossed his arms and stood his ground. "Mimi. She moved back."

Yamato was quiet for a second, "And the other person? The kid?"

"Hers. Look brother, we're not here to talk about her, we're here to get your schedule in order for the next two weeks."

"How old is he?"

"He's 10, and before your next question," Yamato shut his mouth as his brother continued, "Yes, she's still single," Takeru leaned into him, "and YOU'RE still married." He gave Yamato a look, as said person was still seemingly in shock, "Can I come in yet?"

"What? Oh… yeah." He moved out of the way and allowed the younger man in.

"So! First things first," Hikari announced, "Takeru and I are going to have a baby!"

"Great way to build suspense." Takeru raised an eyebrow at her.

"OH MY GOD THAT'S AMAZING NEWS YOU GUYS! I'm going to be an aunt!" Sora was excited, and it was honestly the first time Yamato had seen her happy in a long time. It made him smile despite himself. He got up to hug Hikari, but Sora was there first, and it seemed she was gushing- he let her have this moment. He turned to his younger brother and hugged him instead.

"Congrats little bro. I'm gonna be an uncle. Wow…" it seemed to sink in as they sat on the living room couch, "I mean, I never thought about having kids, and suddenly there's gonna be a little you running around. Crazy."

It took everything Takeru had not to just spill out the news he, himself, had heard (and seen) that morning.

"You're so lucky," Yamato continued quietly, glancing up to make sure Sora couldn't hear, "I figured after marriage, the only normal thing to do was have kids, but… me and Sora- that's just not us. I don't think either of us ever saw kids in our future. At least… not with each other."

It was starting to tear Takeru apart- this secret he was keeping. Now he knew what his wife must have been through. He married a strong woman, indeed.

"Come on Yamato, don't be like that, I'm sure when you have kids, you'll love them and spoil them rotten…whether it's with Sora or not," he added in a whisper.

Yamato shot him a look that was part death glare, part understanding, and Takeru was happy when Sora, her arm linked in Hikari's arm, interrupted their conversation, "As the new auntie, I am going to take Hikari out shopping for baby clothes!"

"Really Sora, I told you that you don't have to, it's so early we don't even know what the sex of the baby is." Hikari smiled, but shook her head when Sora added her own comment immediately afterwards.

"Doesn't matter, they have plenty of non-gender specific baby clothes available. Besides, I need to get out once in a while. What better time than now?"

"Okay, let's go then. Takeru?"

"Go, have fun. We're going to be doing work anyway."

She ran over to him and kissed him lightly and headed out the door as Sora was getting her purse. When it was Sora's turn to leave, she just smiled at the two men and said a small "see you later then" before leaving.

"Harsh." Takeru spoke first.

"I'm used to it. Anyway, our schedule. I got invited to be a guest on this new cooking/talk show." He handed Takeru the letter with the request to appear, "I kinda want to do it."

Takeru started sweating, and Yamato gave him a look, "what are you hiding?"

"That show is Mimi's new show. That's why she moved here."

"I'm doing it then. No question."

"Why?"

"Because I-"

"Yamato… WHY? You're having an issue with Sora as it is, do you want to have old feelings come up? I know you and Mimi were a thing once, you can't lie to me brother. Why would you do that do yourself?"

"I'm doing it Takeru. Put it on my schedule."

Takeru whistled and sighed, shaking his head, "I'm going to have a LOT of PR to do…"
