Double Dipped 24:

Club, New Years

Party On My Friends, Party On

Andy managed to peel away from Nestoir long enough to smile into the camera that was broadcasting the show in the pet shop and wink. “It is now the year 2006 and we would all like to thank you for choosing to spend the evening with us. Let us all begin to celebrate the love that created us and the love that keeps us going.” Daphnus said into the microphone. Chris and Bikky pouted when JJ announced that they had to go to bed. Lord D gave JJ a secretive, shysmile and silently kissed Nana who yawned and went to bed.

“Are you tired? Do you want to watch the rest of the show or go to bed?” JJ asked when he came back to the couch after putting all the children to bed with the animals crowding around. Landy had held on to Bikky and pouted calling out for Ryo. Bikky held the small child close and rocked until he went back to sleep.

JJ wrapped his arms around Lord D and watched as the group finished another song. “I love when they sing in other languages.” Lord D said. “Most of the audience can not understand the words, but the emotions come out loud and clear.”

“That was French right?” JJ asked remembering something from the courses he had taken in high school and college. Lord D nodded and grew quiet when Andy picked up the microphone and began to speak.

“This next song is a very special request.” She said and smiled softly. “It is a dedication from and to very dear friends who could not be with us tonight.” Andy paused and blinked shining tears from her eyes. Lord D wondered for a moment why she was crying then she began to speak again. “Lord D you inspire me so much I wish I could hug you right now. You asked me to find a song that would high light the feelings that you have.” JJ looked at Lord D and felt something stir in his heart. Long silken tresses fell in a curtain around him. His pale skin was a sharp contrast making him seem to glow. The deep purple of his eyes sparkled and JJ realized that is was not a Kami affect, and that the shimmering was tears. “Your description of your love is ringing in my ears and resounding in my heart and I found several songs that are for you and so this next set is for two very special people. I love you both and...”

“Happy anniversary!” The entire band yelled and Nestoir picked up a guitar while Daphnus went to the piano.

“We will go back a year ago today and give JJ a medal of honor,” Tisiphone said as Andy inhaled and began to sing. Along with Clarisande and Princesses Althea and Amalthea, the beautiful twins.

“I know I'm kind of strange to you sometimes

don't always say what's on my mind

you know that I've been hurt by some guy

but I don't wanna mess up this time

Lord D squeezed JJ's hand and smiled into the kiss that JJ pressed against his lips. Lord D looked down at the wrapped package on his lap. “Happy anniversary my precious darling.” JJ said when he opened the box.

“and I really really really care

and I really really really want you

and I think I'm kinda scared

cause I don't want to lose you

if you're really really really there

then maybe you can hang through

I hope you understand

It's nothing to you

my heart's at a low

I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that

I've been damaged

I'm falling in love

there's one disadvantage

I think you should know

that I've been damaged

Lord D stared bemused at sparkling diamonds in the bracelet that nestled among the velvet lining of the box. Three large diamonds stood out among amethysts. “Yesterday I loved you. Today I love you and tomorrow I will love you. Always.” JJ said and punctuated each word with a small kiss along Lord D's lips. JJ placed his arms around Lord D's tummy and smiled when he felt their child move.

“I might look through you're stuff

for what I don't want to find

or I might just set you up

to see if you're all mine

I'm a little paranoid

from what I've been through

you don't know

what you've got yourself into

and I really really really care

and I really really really want you

and I think I'm kinda scared

cause I don't want to lose you

if you're really really really there

then maybe you can hang through

I hope you understand

It's nothing to you

“Jeremy stood off and listened as the girls voices blended beautifully. Berkeley grinned and nodded before he left the club. Jeremy gulped... what should he do?”

“my heart's at a low

I'm so much to manage

I think you should know

that I've been damaged

I'm falling in love

there's one disadvantage

I think you should know

that I've been damaged

and I really really really want you

“I love so much sometimes I fear that I will lose myself.” Lord D said and sniffled “I have changed, I no longer recognize myself. I see myself through your eyes and I can not believe the beauty that is reflected to me. I have not seen that beauty in a long time. Not since I was D's age have I ...” Lord D hugged JJ tightly to him. “You found me huddled in a corner trapped and dying and you held me and set me free. I live now because of your love.” JJ had never felt so humbled in his life. “I know I put you through a difficult time, but you held on. Thank you for not giving up on me. Andy knew... she found the right song and I thank you so mu...” JJ kissed Lord D deeply halting the torrent of words that were falling from his lips.

Andy smiled Brightly and stepped aside for Clarisande to take the lead in the next song. Nestoir pulled his wife into his arms and kissed her deeply. Angel took Daphnus' place at the piano and played a soft melody that seemed to suit Clarisande's sweet voice as it rang out over the audience. Jeremy took a deep breath made his way to the door of the club.

“I've walked so long

I can't remember -

where was my home?

Their distance faces fade away

I'm always on my own.

I can show a smile

It's not hard to do.

I can have the strength to go on

But sometime I wanna let go of everything.

When thoughtfulness is not their game

I teach by giving love.

High mountain seems higher

endlessly when they're pebbles at your feet.

and if you should still fall into despair,

there is one thing left to believe

I lie in your heart always.

Nothing is braver than honesty

My life is your faith in me.

I'll be there when you need

you don't have to hide from me.

What you are feeling now

I fill your soul.

We will seek together destiny troubles have an end.

we'll carry on hand in hand

you're not alone.

People searching desperately outside themselves

caught up in thinking of whatever helped.

And I'd forgotten too that love exists inside me

as in those I wanted from I feel you now.

I'll be there when you need

we will live together.

Nothing is in our way with trust in our soul.

We will seek together destiny troubles have an end.

We will carry on hand in hand

We won't forget we have each other.

Never! Love is in the hearts of all men

you're not alone.

Jeremy stood on the side walk and looked up at the large Diamond that was the club's trademark. He looked down the street and headed to his car. Jeremy gazed at the large card that Berkeley had given him and started the car. He thought back to several conversations that he had with JJ and tried to quell the shaking in his heart. “Yeah,” JJ had said. “The first time hurt. Thank goodness I was fooling around with a friend. We had no expectations of love and devotion, but he was careful with me.” Jeremy frowned, careful? “After that first time I thought I had all the answers, but now I know. I knew absolutely nothing. Love has made all the difference. If you are curious I mean... well... Don't just get into bed with someone because you've never done it and you want to. You will always remember your first time, whether it is wonderful or not. I don't mean to sound like a high school guidance counselor, but...”

JJ had got a call from the PD and had left then, but what had he been trying to say? Jeremy wondered as he drove down the road. He had no expectations of love. He and Berkeley had become friends over the past few weeks. What with him answering questions for the article. Jeremy felt he knew as much about the Double X case as the officers working on it. He and Berkeley went to lunch almost every day. And he really wanted to know what he wanted... what he craved. Jeremy pulled up to the hotel and sighed. Was he ready for this?

Break

“Leon...” D admonished and tried to fight to pleasurable sensations of Leon's fingers sliding under his top. “We are in public... you ... Have to stop.”

Leon found his favorite spot behind D's ear and kissed. “Told you not to go out dressed like this. If you are going to be ravaged it will be by me.” Leon said and pulled D against him and swayed to the music.

Ryo backed away from Dee and laughed before he went to rescue D. “Dance with me.” Ryo said hinted that Dee should take Leon to get a drink. Leon inhaled sharply and followed Dee to the bar. “Ah... Detective... I don't...” D began but paused and Ryo noted the bright blush that crept along D's features as the song sped up and a pulsing beat urged the audience to begin dancing. Ryo looked up at the stage and saw that none of the Royale were to be seen. He looked around and saw Andy standing beside him.

“Aww... D,” Andy squealed and began to dance. Ryo looked down at her swiftly rotating hips and sighed remembering why he had liked women to begin with. “Don't tell me you can't dance.”

“It is a skill I have yet to acquire.” D admitted and hated the heat that turned his face even redder.

“Never fear... Andy the dancer is here.”Andy said and pulled D in front of her. She placed her hands on his hips and began to move. “Just follow my movements and you'll do fine."

“Holy Crap!” Leon exclaimed when he turned and saw D moving in an accelerated, sensual tempo. “NO!” He said and walked forward. Ryo winked and laughed as Leon panted and tried to break free of Dee's hold.

“Leon dance with us!” Andy called out waving wildly. “D, move your feet... like this.” Andy instructed and D complied. He blushed redder when he felt several eyes on him. He looked up into the faces of a crowd of men and women that had gathered around them.

“Hey,” A brave stranger said and approached Andy and D. The man placed his hands on D's hips and Leon stepped forward.

“Wanna die?” He asked, the man backed away wide eyed at the slightly deranged look on Leon's face.

“Dude it was just a dance, I know She's yours, saw you earlier.” The man said with a grin and shook Leon's hand congenially. “Kinda flat, but so cute, you don't really care right.” He whispered to Leon and looked at D where he was again trying to copy Andy's movements.

“What are you talking about?” Leon said with a sly grin and pulled D into his arms. “He's perfectly proportioned.” The stranger took a long look at D and backed away. Leon grinned and kissed D's neck. “If you do half the moves you do in bed, this whole club won't care that you are not a girl and the girls will be jealous.”

“Will you be able to keep them from ravaging me?” D smirked and gazed lovingly up at Leon.

“Probably not, better save it for later.” Leon smirked as he thought of just how high D could get his leg.

“Please... Save it.” Dee said and laughed when Ryo shook his head at a young woman asking him to dance.

Break

Lord D sighed and pulled away from JJ and tried not to look at him. Lord D heaved a sigh and said, “I have a gift for you.” Lord D gasped air into his lungs as he backed away from JJ.

“You are my gift.” JJ said and melded their mouths together again.

“No... Jemi-Chan... I have to...” Lord D said and pulled away. “When I came of age, my father gave me this jewel.” JJ looked down at the large round jewel. He could not discern it's color in the dim light. He saw the many facets and stared bemused. “This jewel is a part of my family and now I give it to you. I can not do as I did with Leon and extend his life through our blood. Only one human every five hundred years has the hope of surviving that. Will you accept this? Who knows what you could accomplish with an extended life and with me at your side. Nothing would be beyond your capabilities.” Lord D asked and stared at JJ. He took his bottom lip between his teeth and waited. If this was so wonderful, why was Lord D looking so panicked?

“Wait... I don't get it.”JJ frowned and looked at the jewel that began to glow. “You said Leon stopped aging and... You want to do that to me?”

“You will die, I don't want to go on with out you. You could do so much, have so much... Use me and my abilities and you could...” Lord D said crying out and holding on to JJ.

“This is something to think about. I can not make the decision so readily. Please understand.” JJ said and kissed the tears from Lord D's face. “When you deliver, we will discuss it more. I honestly do not think it is something that would suit me. I love you, I do not want to use you for anything.” Lord D nodded and JJ gasped when the jewel vanished from his hand and Lord D instead gave him an expensive watch while smiling slyly. “My father told me that if you had accepted the jewel without thinking, only wanting the life span, then you were not the man I thought you were.” Lord D smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. “I did a similar test on Leon. If he could handle the truth of our family lineage and still love D then I would not dis -own D.”

“You have passed.” JJ gasped and looked behind him to see Sofu smiling at him.

“A test... A test?” JJ yelled and turned on Sofu frowning. “And what if I had failed?” JJ snarled the words at Sofu.

“But you did not.” Sofu said calmly.

“It is nearing three in the morning. Please, I am tired.” Lord D stared down at his hands and panted. “D and Leon should be returning home soon.” Lord D said and blinked back burning tears.

“You were in on this.” JJ said disbelieving that Lord D would try to play such a heinous game with his affections. “I love you. And you say you love me. How could you think that I was with you because of the shiny perks. You are the perk. You ... You alone.”

“I have an obligation to ...” Lord D began but paused when his father placed his hand on his shoulder.

“You have an obligation to your family.” Sofu said and straightened his hair.

“You know, when Leon said you could be a cold bastard I defended you.” JJ said to Sofu. “You were genuinely concerned for D and Precious.” JJ looked at Lord D and fought the urge to sob. “And you just went along with it! What would have happened had I taken it?”

“It's why I wanted Andy to sing. I wanted you know that I do truly love you.” Lord D said. “Despite my father, I wanted you to ...know.” Lord D dissolved into sobs.

“Then why... Why did you do it?” JJ demanded of Lord D. “You are pregnant right? That can only happen with deep love from both parties, so why did you do it.”

“He had no choice,” JJ looked up at Lady Aurora who glared at her husband. “His father has parental rights over him. He can not disobey a direct order. You are tired child go to bed. I must speak to your father.” Lady Aurora said and helped Lord D to his feet. “Get some rest and try to relax, you don't want to suffer any cramps do you?” Lady Aurora said calmly and ushered Lord D and JJ from the room. JJ was chilled by the smile that clearly showed her fangs. “You never quit do you?” Lady Aurora hissed the words at her husband.

“What are you talking about?” Sofu said and sat in D's vacated spot. He began to gather the empty packages of onion rings. “I am only acting in the boys best interest. Humans have a tendency to throw all things, even love to the wind with the promise of power and money. His detective did not do that, but at least now we know where his true desire lies. You have to learn to trust me.”

“Trust you?” Lady Aurora almost growled. “I left him in your care and he was beaten. Now he is carrying childr...”

“Please lower your voice, I do not want him to hear...” Sofu began.

“Hear that he is carrying...”Sofu placed a hand over her mouth and listened. JJ went into the kitchen to grab some fruit for Lord D to settle his stomach and help him sleep. Lady Aurora gave him a look of rage and Sofu sighed, it was going to be a long night.

Break

“Man I'm tired” Leon said as he held D close and headed for their car. “Too bad no one tried to drug us tonight. Everyone who left the club was lucid.”

“Yeah, looks like they hit another club tonight, but we will catch them.” Dee said with a frown.

“Hey Leon, Dee, what happened to JJ's cousin?” Ryo asked when they reached the parking lot. Leon and Dee looked around. They saw Nestoir carrying Andy out and handing her to Daphnus while he got into the car. “Partied til she dropped.” Ryo laughed, I heard she was asleep in the dressing room.”

“Oh yeah Leon,” Dee said with a smirk. “How did you guys like our Christmas gifts.”

Leon looked up with a grin and said, “Actually...”

TO BE CONTINUED

Author's note: Hey what did happen to Jeremy? What did Leon and D do with all the wonderful toys on Christmas? Why is Lady Aurora so upset with her husband? Why did Sofu play such a vile trick on JJ? What the heck is going on?
