Welcome to Gaia! ::

The kitsune's smile vanished. A child? He looked to Haikimaru as he came in, bending down to let Chebe onto the floor. The small male watched blankly as the creature ran, shifting mid-stride. 'Masta!' it cried upon leaping into his lap, circling before getting comfortable, a soft purring escaping it's throat as it's needs were met.
Mitsuko tried to keep his eyes interested as he looked up at Haiki from his tea, continuing to stroke the white cat slowly. ".. Have I met her?" he asked, not quite recalling meeting the mother. Although after giving it some time to think he'd actually thought better of the plan of having children. The thought of little Haikimaru's running around making him smile again. "Twins.." He said to himself, thinking out loud. And a girl at that.

The thin can looked up at him, meowing once to catch his attention and demand for the petting to commence once more. Mitsuko looked to him apologetically, not even noticing he had stopped.



" 'why a cat' you say??
They can get away with stuff.
Dogs, not so much."

[ so I guess we'll say it already happened and it's another day x3 ]

"Some.. what." he said slowly, trying to pull out bits and pieces from his memory. The small cat on his lap beginning to purr much louder now, and even started lifting it's hindquarters up as his hand stroked across it's back. It then meowed, standing up and kneading into his leg slightly as it pushed up against him. The fox frowned, "shooing" the little demon away. "Go-away." he said quickly out of slight annoyance. The adults were talking of important matters. Nothing that should concern a little creature. The kitty-dragon jumped off his lap, its tail flicking back and forth in the air behind it as it went off to do it's thing.

He crossed his legs femininely as his hand slipped under the cup in front of him, cradling it in his fingers as he brought the warm liquid to his lips, cooling it with his breath. The kitsune then took a sip of tea before setting it down again in his lap as he waited to see if Haikimaru had anything else to say. His eyes turning to look up at the younger, although much taller kitsune, giving away nothing.



" 'why a cat' you say??
They can get away with stuff.
Dogs, not so much."

Listening to the other's explination set of a few chords, and the fox turned away from the other for a while, staring into his tea cup. His thumb rubbing along the ridges near the top as he thought about what Haikimaru had said.

His eyes turned cold, growing ever so distant as his mind began processing this new information.

"Hm.." That was all he could come up with. His mind blanking out for a moment there. Whats done was done and he couldn't change that. They had been thinking about it too, and the universe provided before he had a chance to say no.. Although he'd still had liked to talk things through with Haikimaru fully before he just went off and-.. his thumb stopped abruptly and he became perfectly still.
"So, when is she expecting?" He asked, giving his usual small smile as he faced his love once more. No use over-doing it, he thought, no jokes or funny business to wash this off, it'll only make things worse. He closed his eyes in an attempt to hide his thoughts. There was nothing he'd rather talk more about at that moment, but at the same time he wanted to change the subject before his jealousy got out of hand and he did something traumatic.

His mind focused on his job interview he had went to.. It hadn't gone as expected and he wasn't chosen to take the job because he looked "too young" but they did call him cute and told him to come back when he was older. It wasn't his choice to be- well, actually it was his choice. He liked this body, and Haikimaru liked it as well. When he was younger he promised himself as long as he was with Haiki, he would stay this way. His mind wandered to Haikimaru's work place.. Models were always being hassled around and never had enough time to themselves according to Haikimaru's thoughts whenever he returned from work or even spoke about it.. But he couldn't work for Haikimaru, he already does that, and it wouldn't bring any money to pay bills or put food on the table..
It clicked.
Why hadn't he thought of it before? Is was a sure-fire plan, no amount of failure could ever ruin it on his part.. maybe things would even turn the tables.

[ Lets mix it up >3 Haiki.. prepare to be jealous when this plan goes into action. **claps** congratulations Mitsuko, you're now thinking like a real woman. =_= ]

That caught him off guard. Although knowing all about pregnancies didn't exactly top his list of common sense. Despite his age he didn't see that coming.
What were they going to do with the place in that little of time. He still had so much to do.. There was more than enough rooms on the second floor for the baby, a guest//storage room, and he and Haikimaru would share the last. There would be painting to be done, house decor to set up still, and of course baby-proofing the house and buying the correct supplies for another mouth to feed.. He didn't want Haikimaru working over time or anything to have them live comfortably either though. He slowly leaned back on the chair he was in as if a sudden realization hit him. His head slightly tilted to the side and his arms slightly limp. Thirty one weeks.

"I think I need to get a job.." he found himself saying, his eyes staring widely at nothing in particular. Snapping out of his little wonderland adventure of jumbled thoughts. he looked up at Haikimaru, "Do you know any of the models that would regularly pay for a massage therapist?.. and don't say Haikimaru because that wouldn't get us anywhere financially and you know you." he said sternly, pointing with his eyes as if glaring down into the other's soul. "There's lots to do in thirty one weeks, might as well get things done right away before she comes than be late." he explained, hoping that forcing the question without backup wasn't good enough, despite explaining his full train of thought to the other kitsune.



" 'why a cat' you say??

Dogs, not so much."

Now that he thought about it, maybe he was being a little too over-dramatic. His thoughts a bit too on the self, and less on the support. He had friends now. He had a new big family in law, and he had Haikimaru. He didn't have to take on everything himself anymore. He could rely on them.. couldn't he? it'd been hard to with Haikimaru at first.. But he'd done it, and still is.

The Kitsune smiled softly, reaching out to grab his lover's wrist, pulling him down to his level for a kiss on the lips. The fox's ears going down, his tail swishing up once, before resting back down behind his seat. While pulling away he set down his empty cup of tea. His fingers sliding down to interlock with Haikimaru's. "I guess this one can share the mother role." he joked, letting his free hand caress the side of Haikimaru's cheek. A thrill coming to his stomach as he said mother. Although he guessed he shouldn't have been surprised, always acting a bit more femininely than most and all.
Mother..
They were going to be a family.
And not just any they.. His Haikimaru, and him.

[ **needs to make Chebe's picture into an Icon** :C It takes up space.. do I really need it?? ]

From their last unfortunate encounter, a year had passed since Maiara had seen the purple fox last. A scowl made its way onto her face as she delved deeper into the memory. The event had ended with her slipping out the hotel room window in Paris. It hadn't been a very pleasant exchange between the two, but really, how often was it easy between Maiara and Haikimaru? It took her awhile, but Maiara swallowed her pride and made her way through Haikimaru's contacts to find his apartment. She felt she should at least apologize (although he attacked her first!), and Maiara, although she hated to admit it, missed the aggravating purple fox.

As soon as she approached the door, the pungent smell of the other fox his her nostrils with full force, making the hairs on her arms stand at alert. It was enough to halt her fist mere inches before the wooden door. Maiara should have known the two would be together; they were before in Paris. No matter how often she saw the fox, she couldn't understand him or the power he held. With her heightened sensitivity and her shaman training complete, her reaction to Mitsuko will only be worse. She'd just have to clench her teeth and ignore the incredibly strong spiritual uneasiness she felt. Finally, her fist made contact with the door, producing a loud clear knock.

Haikimaru had plans to finally drink his tea after the long 'we're having a baby' talk with his lover. He even had reached out to get the drink when the knock came from the door. He guessed the person didn't see the door bell. He turned on his heels and walked over to the door. Making sure to pick up the dragon-cat so he wouldn't escape the house the moment the door opened. The fox-man peeked outside of the house only to see another pain/lover. He opened the door fully. "Maiara?" He commented. He had seen her last in Paris, now she was back.

Haikimaru rolled his eyes at her comment about him being him. He stepped to the side and let the woman in. While doing so he called out to his lover. "Mistuko. Could you please make another cup of tea. We have a guest." The man called out. Once the woman was in he shut the door and let the woman follow him to the living room. He let the cat-dragon go about have way there and the offered a seat of her choosing and once chosen he picked his own. "So what do I owe this visit to?"
