Double Dipped 6

JJ slowly walked to the breakfast table and dropped into the chair looking for all the world as if he had walked to Dae's hideout and back unarmed. “Dude,” Leon remarked as JJ practically fell into his plate that D handed him.

“All night,” JJ said as if he were describing his worst fears. “Bathroom, ended up sleeping in the bathroom, Darling hugging toilet.” From JJ's stilted speech Leon got the gist of the problem.

“Wow, D was nauseous but it was not that bad.” Leon said and sipped his coffee feeling bad for JJ.

Sofu D looked up from his newspaper and watched Q-Chan flutter off to Lord D. He smiled indulgently before he turned to Leon. “I have told you young man,” Sofu said with a smile, “each pregnancy is different, Andy was hardly ill at all, she had a few upsets when she was first starting, but was otherwise eating like a little typhoon. D lost nearly twenty pounds his first three months, you were worried now look at him.” Sofu patted D's rather large tummy. D stifled a giggle and sat down at the table. He sympathetically patted JJ's hand and began to eat his breakfast.

“I swear more came out than has ever gone in,” JJ said tiredly. “I called Nana this morning and she wants me to come and get her. I don't think I can drive in this condition.” JJ confessed he heard a soft shuffling behind him and looked up to see Lord D leaning against the wall. “Darling I thought you were sleeping.”

“I got cold,” Lord D pouted he had felt the bed beside him and had looked for JJ finding only Q-Chan. D had never thought to see his staid father pout but then again he had never thought to see his father pregnant.

“You,” Leon said to JJ and stood. “Take him back to bed, I will go and pick up your Nana.” Leon kissed D briefly and headed for the door. JJ stood to his feet and wobbled, he clasped Lord D waist and wished he hadn't. Lord D heaved and JJ perked up and ran him down the hall.

Nana stared at the tall blond man outside of her door and smiled before she grabbed a large suitcase and a small dog and followed him out the the car. Leon took the suitcase and smiled, he would let D deal with this. “Well now young man, I can not let JJ alone to deal with my impending great child, he is just a child himself you know.” Leon simply smiled at the old lady and helped her into his car.

D sat and sighed it was hard to sew while listening to you father retch in the other room. JJ had begun to give Lord D water just so that he would have something in him to toss out and avoid dry heaves. D sighed and peeked into the bathroom watching as JJ held his father's hair back. “Oh dear I got here just in time,” D turned and smiled at Nana, his smile faded as he got a look at Leon carrying a suitcase and a small dog. Leon simply shrugged.

“Ah she can stay in the nursery,” Leon suggested and thought of the spare bed that had been moved into his office. He doubted that JJ's grandmother wanted to stay in his office with his television and computer equipment.

“Right,” D said, he place his hand on his wiggling tummy and waddled gracefully down the hallway.

“Now, now Jemi-Dear, move aside here dearie, drink this.” Nana held a cup up to Lord D's lips. Lord D tried not to heave and accepted the cup willing to do anything to quell the rolling of his stomach. Lord D sipped and waited a beat. He smiled, he wasn't going to throw up. “It's barley water, now where is your kitchen I'll make him some un-yeasted bread. Finish your cup dearie Jemi you put him to bed.” Nana bustled about Leon shrugged and led her to the kitchen.

Break

Lord D peered at the bread Nana held out to him and thought of the long night spent in the bathroom. “Don't worry, I have been dealing with expectancies for a long time my dear a long time. You may have a medical degree, but you do not a mother's know-how.” Nana said ignoring the fact that Lord D was many centuries her senior. Lord D smiled wanly and accepted the bread. He took a tentative bite and and waited after a beat he remembered how voraciously hungry he was and finished the bread in very few bites. After his third piece JJ smiled grateful at his Nana before he fell over beside Lord D asleep. Nana smiled and covered them both tucking them in before she bustled out of the room shutting the door softly behind her.

The chime over the pet shop door opened and Sofu D looked up and smiled. His smile froze as he looked at Randolph, “detective, how may I help you?” Sofu sighed internally and looked off down the hall way he frowned slightly when he felt Lord D awaken. Hopefully he would stay in his room. In his condition it was not a good idea for him to come across this particular detective.

“So, who am I speaking to now?” Randolph said and leaned against the counter.

“I am Sofu D the Count D who owns this shop,” Sofu said and flipped his cropped hair. Randolph stared into Sofu's golden eyes.

Randolph smirked, “I finally caught you guys in a lie, Count D claims his grandpa owns this shop and you are no one's grandpa.” Randolph looked around the shop he smiled as he noted a pale long haired figure leaning against the wall. Lord D sighed, oh what he had been reduced to. He was sipping barley water and clutching bread in order to remain upright.

“Father... Have you seen JJ?” Lord D said and looked around the room he frowned at Randolph.

Randolph walked over to him, “Why do you call him father?” Randolph demanded. He reached to grab Lord D's arm but noted the ill look on his face. Randolph paused, “You're going to be ill aren't you?” JJ rounded the corner then and rushed forward he took Lord D's arm and rushed him to the bathroom that was off the side of the parlor of the shop. Randolph heard him retching.

JJ ran from the bathroom. “Stay here Darling, I'll go after Nana she was last brushing the dog. Just stay here,” JJ said and walked off down the hall.

“I don't think he will be going any where any time soon,” Sofu said softly causing Randolph's attention to return to him. “What do you want?” Sofu said with an exasperated sigh and frown. “You do realize that I don't like you and unlike my son and grandson, I do not have the patience to suffer fools.”

“You'll suffer me until I have your ass behind bars,” Randolph almost growled the words at Sofu who raised one single brow before he turned to look behind him.

“D child, return to your room now,” Sofu said he turned and smiled at D to lessen the harshness of his command. “We have an uninvited guest.” D placed his hand on his tummy and hurried back the way he had come. “Randolph, please, meet my wife.” Sofu D smiled charmingly and waved Lady Aurora forward. JJ returned with his Nana who smiled at the petite vampire before she bustled into the bathroom and pulled Lord D to his feet. “Dearest, have you eaten today?” Lady Aurora smiled voraciously and walked towards Randolph who stared as if in a trance at the beautiful woman before him.

“Mother, father no,” Lord D said around a mouthful of bread. (“He would be missed, by his family and the police force, if you must be rid of him, bind him with a contract.”) Lord D smiled for the first time in two days and headed off to his bed. Sofu smiled and began to think of the perfect pet to sell to the most annoying detective he had ever met.

Leon thought D had never looked lovelier. D slipped his arms through the sleeves of the large skirted cheongsam. D pulled the belt just over his tummy and stood gazing into a mirror. Leon pulled a brush through his hair and pulled a ribbon out and tied it around the silken tresses. “Detective Randolph is here annoying grandfather. Grandfather has been in a fowl mood lately, I wonder what he will do with the simpleton.”

The better question is,” Leon said and took D's hand and walked with him to the kitchen. They passed Chris on the way and D took his hand as well. The small family made their way to the dinner table. “Why is Sofu in such a rotten mood.” Leon held a chair out for D as Sofu joined them at the table with a sweet smile.

“Grandfather... what have you done?” D said he looked up when his father and JJ joined them. Lord D had naturally pale skin but D was worried when he looked at his father.

“I am fine Child,” Lord D said and beamed at Nana who smiled knowingly at Sofu and winked. “Father I am as curious as D, what have you done?”

“Randolph has decided that Q-Chan is somehow connected to the deaths with a few hints from me naturally.” Sofu said and began to eat his dinner with delicate gusto. “And so he is going to keep Q-Chan for several days and will study how we operate without the influence of our 'freaky little bird'.” Lord D tried not to grin. “I have not gotten around to binding him with a contract, but if dealing with our dear sweet Q-Chan does not teach him a lesson about dealings in China Town, I don't know what will.”

“Grand father, It is very difficult for men like Randolph to learn anything,” D said and smiled when his stomach began to wiggle. Lord D laughed and was glad that he was not going to be ill.

Bikky stood holding tight to Ryo's hand and watched as the strange woman approached their table at the restaurant. She stood and gave him a warm smile. “Bikky, hello you can call me Auntie Cathy.” She said. Bikky took in her deep brown skin and warm brown eyes and smiled shyly at her.

“This is my daddy Ryo and my father Dee.” Bikky introduced her, “I know you are probably a really nice lady, but I don't want to live with you.”

“Do you remember me?” Cathy asked still smiling despite the way Bikky had not reached for her hand but still clung to Ryo's. “I am your late father's sister.”

“My biological father a while ago, and we were still in New York for a few years, why are you here now?” Bikky asked, Ryo winced and silently blamed Dee for Bikky's straightforwardness. Cathy smiled and vowed to somehow get through to her nephew. Bikky looked at Ryo and smiled and Cathy glared at him if he planned to keep Bikky, Cathy would not pull any punches.
