Double Dipped

Chapter one: May Day

Sunlight streamed into the pet shop on a balmy day. Lord D paused and stood still watching his son as he sat in a rocking chair by the window sewing a blanket made from Arcadian velvet that Andy had delivered during her last visit to the shop. Quiet seemed to hang about D as he rocked gently back and forth with the sun shining around him giving him a halo affect. Chris was settled in his new room and was happily showing his newly acquired “Older” furniture to Bikky. This weekend; both of the boys were staying at the shop while Leon, Ryo, Dee and Jill were on a long stake out. D paused and placed his hand on his tummy before he smiled to himself and picked up his cooling cup of tea.

Lord D sighed and went to join his son. JJ had been with Diana on a special FBI case leaving Lord D to mull over how he would explain his situation to his son. As his father sat, D looked up and smiled. He had noted the ring his father had been wearing for over a week now, but had said nothing, understanding his father's need for his privacy. “That is a lovely color,” Lord D said of the deep maroon that D was steadily working his needle through.

“Yes, Andy was kind enough to bring me baskets of cloth,” D said with a grin willing to wait for his father to get around to telling him about his engagement ring. D sat his work aside and sat idle twirling his own wedding set on his finger drawing his father's attention to the sparkling jewels. Lord D sighed; his son was very much… “Father,” D said and rested his hand on his tummy. “You don't have to say anything… I know, believe me, I know.”

“I love him, so much sometimes I am frightened.” Lord D said and placed his hand near D's. “You are far braver than I could ever be.”

D smiled, “Sometimes it takes the most courage to admit that you are afraid.” D sipped his tea and looked at the clock to assure himself that it was time for the boys to have lunch. “Leon wants us to wait for him to return before you perform my checkup.” D said no more and stood to his feet marveling that it was getting difficult to do so without using the arm rest for support. Lord D followed his son into the kitchen and watched him as he went about preparing food. Lord D did not have the heart to tell his son that he was starting to waddle, albeit gracefully.

“JJ has asked me to participate in a western ceremony similar to the one you held, a wedding.” Lord D said quietly and waited for D's response. Lord D looked up chagrined to see D munching on a bowl of chilled sweet rice while his afternoon soup boiled on the stove.

“I figured, that is the purpose of an engagement ring.” D said smiling. “I am happy for you father, I am glad that you have found happiness. You more than deserve it.” D placed another fork full in his mouth and went into the refrigerator coming out with several Kiwi fruits that he skinned and ate. “I love these, they are so tasty. I wish we had some lemons to go with them.” Lord D smiled and went to a paper bag on the counter. Leon had brought them over and left them because D had been having tart cravings for a week now. D smiled brightly and peeled the lemon as if it were and orange and ate it in sections. Lord D grimaced and sipped his tea vowing not to watch his son eat.

JJ followed Diana into a restaurant and watched as their suspect completed their deal digging a deeper hole for themselves. JJ sighed and remembered the look of ectasy that had crossed Lord D's face the night before. He was so beautiful and he loved JJ, really truly loved him. “You'd better be careful,” Diana smirked when she noted that JJ was not paying attention to their job at hand. Usually when he had that sappy smile on his face, he was thinking of Lord D.

“Be careful…?” JJ asked confusion clearly marking a path across his features.

“Yes, careful, you'll end up in Leon's predicament. Impending father hood,” Diana snickered.

“Come on, Lord D is a man…” JJ trailed off and blushed at Diana's knowing look. D was a man and he was five months today. “D-Chan tried to explain it to me once, it is the amount of love shared by the couple for each other, it has to be equally reciprocated on both sides and a life can be created by the love shared, not the act of love itself,” JJ said slowly as if explaining it to himself and not Diana. Diana said nothing and stood to follow the criminal when he had left. JJ sighed and left with her.

Lord D smiled when the chime sounded above the pet shop door and a new customer walked in. The man was well groomed with sandy blond hair and deep green eyes. His smile was open and attractive inviting Lord D to return the expression. “I am Count D and this is my family's pet shop. We specialize in all manner of creature from house cats to lizards. What would you like?” Lord D folded his hands in front of him and waited for the customer to say something. Lord D was not upset at being stared at, it was a common occurrence with people who had never seen him before.

“Tell me, do you own the shop, I noticed you said family,” The man said, Lord D frowned slightly. “Oh excuse my rudeness, I am Daemian Luce, I just came to town not too long ago. I was hoping you would have an exotic pet, something extremely rare. I love to travel the orient and I was told your pet shop would have exactly what I was looking for.”

“Well Mr. Luce, why don't you tell me exactly what type of pet from the orient you are looking for and I will know if I can help you.” Lord D said pleasantly ignoring the slight chills that crept up his spine as the gentleman smiled at him.

“You'll do nicely,” Mr. Luce said and reached for Lord D's hand. Lord D snatched away from him. “Come now, don't you recognize me. Well this is a fairly new body, that damned prince destroyed my last one. I just came here because I want my toy back. I do not like when things are taken from me. I'll take you as collateral until he is returned to me.”

Lord D backed away from the man intending to turn into a condor and leave the shop and soar out of his reach. But he would be leaving D vulnerable. Lord D frowned, he could not do that. Daemian… Daemian… Dae. Lord D's eyes widened as he grew terrified standing in the presence of the demon. His powers were nothing compared to the fiend.

“I do not wish to awaken your child, he is not involved in this. I want you…and your father can deal with the loss, or give me what I want. You see it's simple, give me what I want, and I will go away.” Dae said with a chilling smile and edged closer to Lord D backing him against a wall. “Do you know where your father is keeping Hamanosuke?” Dae asked and trailed a hand through Lord D's hair. Lord D shook his head wide eyed with fright. “Well, he'll just have to bring him to me…that is, if he wants you returned to him unharmed.”

“You won't touch me?” Lord D asked backing away. Dae pulled Lord D closer and sniffed him closing his eyes in pleasure.

“That depends on how long I am in your presence, you are very beautiful, and I can only be expected to control myself for so long.” Dae said and snatched Lord D to him and in the blink of an eye, only animals and a sealed envelope on the counter remained.
