Chapter 11

Dee stands looking at the phone; he cannot believe his ears. He stumbles to the sofa and sits down with his mouth open. He can see his life flash before him, his life without Ryo in it. `This can't be happening! Not now; not after finding the person I want to spend the rest of my life with! What do I do now?'

 

“Hello, Dee, are you there!? Dee, answer me!”

 

“I'm…here, Mona. Are you sure about this? You could have made a mistake! This is lousy timing on your part. We break up, and now you tell me something like this! I think you're lying; you're just pissed because I didn't show up today. Tell me this is all some big joke, because this can't be happening.”

 

“I took the test since I missed my period. I took it this morning when I got home. That is why I went to your place last night, to tell you I think I am pregnant, but now I know. We were going to be married anyway; I don't see what the problem is. We still love each other. I know that I still want you, Dee, and now we are having a child together. Unless…you are involved with someone else this quickly. I never thought you would take it like that. Have you been seeing someone while we were together, Dee?”

 

“Look, I have to call you back; I have to wrap my head around this news. In fact, I'll see you tomorrow when I leave work. I'll come by your house around six. Is that okay with you?”

 

“I thought you would be happy, Dee. After all, we were planning on having children when we got married anyway. It's just a little sooner than either one of us expected. I guess you do have to get used to it, so I will see you tomorrow at six. Bye, Dee, and remember, I do love you.”

Dee sits on the sofa staring into space while holding the phone. `This is fucked up! What am I going to tell Ryo? I know I'm going to lose him. Oh my god, I wish I had never met…'

 

“Dee, is everything all right? You look as though someone died. No one died, did they?” Ryo sits beside Dee and touches his hand lightly. He searches his face for some clue as to what has happened. He gets up, goes in the kitchen and gets him a glass of water. He comes back, takes the phone out of his hand, and hands him the water. “Here, drink this. You look awful; what happened…you don't have to tell me if you think it's none of my business.”

 

Dee turns, looks at Ryo, takes the water from his hand, and takes a sip. He sets the glass down on the table and puts his face in his hands. Ryo scoots closer to him and puts his arm around his back. “You're scaring me, Dee. Talk to me…I need to know what happened. We can figure it out together; I'll help if I can.”

 

Dee turns and puts both arms around Ryo and buries his face in his neck. Ryo wraps his arms around him and rubs his back, whispering, “I'm here for you, Dee. You have to tell me what's going on, or else how can I help you?”

 

“Ryo…I don't know what to do. I love you and I want to be with you, but I don't think…Ryo, I'm sorry…so sorry.” Dee is speaking in a muffled voice; his face is now buried in Ryo's shirt.

 

Ryo pulls back as he looks in Dee's face, wondering why he is apologizing and in such a pitiful way. He puts his hand under the younger man's chin, tilts his face up, and tells him, “Look at me, Dee.”

 

He raises his eyes and Ryo can see the hurt in them. Dee is stripped bare of his arrogance and self-confidence. He looks like a small child with tears in his eyes, making them sparkle as they are about to spill over. He bites his bottom lip, trying to keep them at bay, because everyone knows a man doesn't cry, and especially, Dee Laytner.

 

“As you know, that was Mona on the phone just now. She wanted me to meet her for dinner, but I didn't show up because I didn't want to see her, and I thought she would get the hint that I'm over her. She said she had something to tell me, but I didn't go. I didn't want to hear anything she had to say to me. I thought it would be something along the lines of us getting back together.”

 

He puts his hands on Ryo's arms, rubbing them up and down slowly in a gentle caress. He looks directly into dark eyes that hold so much hope for them. He knows he can drown in those eyes and never come up for air.

 

“But Dee, what did she say that has you so upset? I don't understand what she can say, or do, to have you upset like this.” Ryo puts his hand out, stroking the side of Dee's face. He captures Ryo's hand and brings it to his lips, kissing his palm lightly. “You're going to hate me, Ryo, and I know it.”

 

“Why would you say something like that? I could never hate you, Dee. Whatever it is, I promise, we will get through it together, okay? You trust me, don't you?” He smiles lovingly at the devastated man, who is looking at him as if all hope is lost.

 

Dee sighs and turns away. “Mona says she is having my child, Ryo, and I don't want to leave you and be with her.” He turns as Ryo puts the back of his hand to his mouth. “Are you sure, Dee? I mean, is she sure; has she been to a doctor or anything? This is awful. What are you going to do? Better still, what do you want to do?”

 

Dee gets up and walks over to the far wall and back to the sofa. He hits the palm of his hand with his fist repeatedly. “All I can say is this is fucked up! Right when I find true happiness, this shit has to happen.”

 

Ryo looks up at him. “Don't say that, Dee! Bringing a baby into the world cannot be reduced to that! What are you saying; we are talking about a life here.”

 

Dee spins around and glares at Ryo. “I never wanted something like this to happen! We were always so careful when we were together. She has to see a doctor before I will accept it. If she is, I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't want to abandoned her, or the child, because he will be a part of my life, but I don't want to be with her either.”

 

He throws himself on the sofa next to Ryo. He looks in his face as he tells him, “I know it's asking a lot, but will you give me time to figure all this out? The last thing I want to do is not be with you, and I hope you know how I feel about you. I'm going to need you to be strong for the both of us. Can you do that, Ryo, even though we've known each other for such a short time?”

 

Ryo smiles at him. “I'll wait for your decision, Dee. I hate to lose what we could have, but you have to do what's best for Mona and the child she is carrying. Just don't make me wait too long. I don't have a lot of patience when it comes to you. Let me know in the next couple of days, is that fair enough?”

 

“That's more than fair, Angel; I promise, you will be the first to know what I decide to do with this situation. However, I think maybe I should go home. I can't expect you to want to be with me now, after all this.”

 

Ryo gets up from the sofa, pulling Dee with him. He smiles up in his face. “That has nothing to do with us right now, so let's not change our plans. Who knows, she may be at your place right now, waiting to ambush you again. I'm not having it, now that I have you to myself for the night. Who knows when we may have this time again?”

 

Dee nods and follows Ryo into his bedroom vowing to himself, this will not be the last time they are together.

The next morning Ryo goes with Dee to his place so he can change clothes for work. Dee opens the door, steps in and looks around as if Mona may be lurking in the early morning shadows.

 

“Come in, Ryo, and make yourself at home. It will only take me a minute to get dressed.” He goes into his bedroom as Ryo heads over to the half moon window. He looks down on the street, admiring the view.

 

“Dee, this window is a perfect focal point for this room. It looks beautiful. You should have your sofa facing it. At night, you can see the stars in the sky, or at least the moon when it's full.” He looks up at the top of the window and down at the seat that has pillows on it. He decides to sit while waiting for Dee as he looks around.

 

Dee comes into the living room, smiling as he ties his tie around his neck. “Ryo, that is so gay. How do you know about arranging furniture?” He ducks as Ryo throws one of the pillows at his head.

 

“It's called having taste, you moron. Why would you want to face a wall instead of something that changes from day to day?” He stands, shaking his head as he walks over and brushes Dee's hands away as he finishes tying his tie for him. “There, you finished faster than I expected. Grab your jacket so we can head out. I think we have time to stop for coffee if we leave now.”

 

Dee walks back to his room, gets his suit jacket, slides it across his shoulders, and looks down as he buttons it. Ryo walks over to him and smoothes it down in the front and leans in, kissing him on the lips. “You look very handsome, Mr. Laytner; is that for her or me?”

 

He puts his arms around Ryo's waist bringing him closer and whispers, “Everything I do is for you, but if we start something now, we will both be late for work. Me, personally, I don't care but I know how you are on impressing the Chief.” He nibbles his ear and drops his arms. “Let's go, Ryo; I don't think I can take much more of this.”

 

Ryo rolls his eyes. “Don't blame me for your erotic thoughts. I feel perfectly fine with just a kiss, since it's going to have to last me for a while.” He turns and heads for the door with Dee grinning as he follows him out.

The two Detectives arrive at work, with coffee and bagels. Ryo goes straight to the office as Dee stops to talk to Ted.

 

“The guy that did all the shooting is going to court this morning, and I think they're talking about giving you guys some kind of medal or accommodation for capturing him so fast. You guys work well together, congratulations.” Ted is beaming at Dee.

 

Dee grins and slaps Ted on the back as he thanks him and looks over in the office at Ryo. He sees him on the phone with a frown on his face. “I have to go man, but thanks a lot.” He heads for his office and Ryo when he hears JJ scream his name.

 

He bolts inside, slamming the door behind him, making Ryo jump. “Excuse me, sir. I'll see you in a little while.” He hangs up the phone and looks at Dee in surprise as he leans on the door. He can hear JJ on the other side, calling out Dee's name loudly.

 

He puts his hand over his mouth and laughs. Dee has a panic look on his face as he looks as if he is searching for a place to hide. “I don't see nothing funny, Ryo! That maniac is crazy, and I don't want him jumping me! What's wrong with that?”

 

“Either way, you can't stay there forever. The Commissioner wants to see us in his office ASAP, so you're going to have to open the door sooner or later.” He is still laughing at Dee as he stays pressed against the door. “Go away, JJ! This shit is getting old! I'm going to press charges against you one of these days! Just watch and see. Drake, come and get your partner, now!”

 

They can hear Drake on the other side as he pulls JJ away from the door, telling him that he should just give up. Dee gets off the door and wipes his face with his hand. “Why do I have to go through this shit every time he sees me? He acts as if I'm the last man on earth! I wish he would stop already. Where is my coffee? I'm glad you brought it in here for me. I might have spilled it, and I know I have at least one more wear out of this suit.”

 

Ryo hands him his coffee as he takes out a bagel and takes a bite. “I did say the Commissioner wanted to see us, didn't I? Shouldn't we be going now?” Dee looks at his watch and says, “We have at least ten minutes before we are officially on duty. I'm having my coffee and a bite of my bagel, since you wouldn't let me buy donuts.”

 

“That's so cliché, Dee. Come on, coffee and donuts. Besides, this is much healthier for you. Tomorrow, I'm bringing muffins, maybe bran ones at that.” He looks over at Dee with a wicked smile on his face.

 

Dee looks at Ryo in total shock until he sees the smile on his handsome face.

 

“Yeah, you almost had me there, partner.” He takes a bite of his bagel and tells Ryo, “This tastes like wood and the raisins on them don't help at all. How can you eat this crap?” He looks at Ryo as he takes another bite. Glaring at him, wondering how he let him not get his favorite donuts, the ones that were dipped in chocolate and had coconut sprinkled on them. “From now on, you get what you like and I get what I like.” He is sipping his coffee and looking at Ryo at the same time.

 

“Quit acting like a baby. I didn't force you to buy that. I only suggested that you try a bagel. One is not going to kill you.” He spreads cream cheese on his bagel and bites it gracefully as he licks his bottom lip and closes his eyes. “Uhm…that's good.” He opens his eyes and looks over at Dee, winking.

 

“You have to do better than that to get me to eat this crap. It still tastes like wood, even if it is getting you off.” He picks his coffee up and swallows. Ryo laughs. “Okay you win, Dee. Tomorrow, donuts are on me. I give up, I rather you enjoy what you eat.”

 

“Now that sounds perfect. I get my donuts and I don't have to pay for them. Yea, I like free.” He smirks at Ryo and drops the rest of his bagel in the trash. “You said the Commish wants to see us. I think we've made him wait long enough, let's go.”

 

Ryo wraps the rest of his bagel in a napkin, takes a last sip of his coffee, and follows Dee out of the office.

Ryo knocks lightly on the Commissioner's door and he tells him to come inside since the door is open.

 

He and Dee walk in and take seats. Rose looks over at Ryo with a slight rising of his brow and then looks at Dee. He told Ryo he wanted to see him in his office, but had not mention Dee at all. Maybe the blonde detective misunderstood.

 

He clears his throat and looks at both men. “Ryo, you're feeling better, I presume. It's good to have you back, and Dee, I'm recommending the two of you for an accommodation. You…ah…did an excellent job the other day, even though Ryo was hurt in the process, but I was told, you saved him from being hurt even worse. How gallant of you.”

 

Dee looks at him as he narrows his eyes. “I can't let a perp get the drop on my partner, now can I, Commissioner? He would have done the same for me. You know, with us being partners and all.”

 

“Ah…excuse me, Sir, but why are we getting an award for doing our jobs? Isn't that what we're supposed to do?” Ryo looks at Rose with a small smile on his face. He did not want the two men to start sparring back and forth as usual.

 

“Well, there is that, however you were hurt in the line of duty, Ryo, and I don't take that lightly. You could have been killed! You are aware of that, aren't you?” He walks over, looking down at Ryo, longing to reach out and stroke the face that looks so innocent.

 

Dee gets up and stands behind Rose. “If that is all, Sir, we have to see the Chief. I think he has a case he wants us to look into, right, Ryo?” He is glaring at the Commissioner's back. Ryo looks up at Rose and stands up. “Thank you for your concern, Sir, and I will be happy to receive the accommodation…I mean, we both will.”

 

Dee walks around Rose, grabs Ryo's arm, and pulls him to the door. “Let us know when it is, Sir, we can dress for the occasion.” He opens the door and pushes Ryo out, following him.

 

“Dee, what is wrong with you!? Why would you do something like that!? You need to control yourself. You're going to have people talking about us if you keep this up.” Ryo has pulled away from Dee and is standing facing him outside the Commissioner's office.

 

Rose opens his door and smirks. “You finally found out he isn't yours to do with as you please. I wonder what your fiancée has to say about all the attention that you pay to your…partner.” He chuckles as he turns back into his office and closes the door.

Mona and her sister are back in Julie's apartment on the other side of town later in the day.

 

“You told him what!? How do you think you can get away with something like that? When he finds out, he is going to come down on you so hard, they will feel it back home.” She walks over to her bar, pours two drinks, and hands one to her sister. She sits across from her and looks in her face. “Why don't you think about this, Mona? If he finds out you're lying, he is going to blow a gasket.”

 

“Look, Julie, he's only getting what he deserves. Besides, now we will have sex without protection. He is a man, after all, and he can't say no when it comes to having sex. Who knows, maybe I will get pregnant. I know he thinks he wants out and I may never truly get him back, but in the meantime I will not let his partner have him.” She leans back, sipping on her drink

 

“His partner! Are you talking about Randy; he likes Randy!” Julie jumps off the sofa and glares at her twin. “Randy is not gay! I don't care what you say. If he were, I would know!”

 

Mona laughs. “Just like you knew he is part Japanese? Dee was at his place last night, and when he answered, he was out of breath. I could hear noise in the background, and it sounded like they were having a good time. He was surprised to know, I was on the phone. Dee was in shock when I told him I was expecting, but if I know him, he'll do the right thing.” She laughs as she sips her drink. “I have faith in him; being an orphan himself, he will go through with the wedding.”

 

“Sometimes your way of thinking sends chills down my spine. Why would you want someone that wants to be with another man? If what you say is true, I can't see me wanting to be with Randy any longer.” She grabs the bottle and brings it to the table, pouring the alcohol into both their glasses.

 

“He's coming to see me at six, so I think I can pull it off. He knows I would not dare lie about something as important as this. Besides, this is all to pay him back for what he did. This will be the ultimate revenge. When I get through sending him through changes, he won't have time to mess with anyone else besides me. I'm about to have myself some fun.”

I myself love wicked ladies. Mona is tailored after a girl I knew back in high school, she was soooo, wicked and always got her way. Bitch.
