They didn’t know how to react. The seven of them hasn’t seen Yamada Ryosuke after he had went on his indefinite hiatus years back, without any warnings too. They were even more surprised to see a child clinging onto Yuto.

“Tell me my eyesight’s perfectly alright, and I’m seeing a child that looks like both Yama-chan and Yuto.” Hikaru was staring at Yuusuke while shaking Yabu. As a shy child he was, Yuusuke had hid his face in the crook of Yuto’s neck, and Ryosuke smiled gently.

It was Yabu that broke the news to the rest of the JUMP members, and while the unofficial leader of JUMP was speaking, Ryosuke couldn’t help but feel guilty again. Yuusuke was starting to explore around the dressing room with Yuto behind to take care of him.

A blink, a cough, an uneasy laughter. It was Ryutaro that broke the silence after Yabu was done explaining, “You should’ve told us, Yama-chan. We could have helped you through this.”

“You’re saying as if a guy getting pregnant is the most common thing on Earth, Ryutaro.” The tension around them eased, as the rest of the members laughed at how both of them can still bicker at anything. Chinen then pointed out to Ryosuke that there might be other people out there that would want this to happen to them though. “You’re lucky, Yama-chan.”

His hand rested on his flat stomach while looking at Yuto setting Yuusuke’s hair with his hair curler. “You’re right Chii. But it’s not just me. Both Yuto-kun and me, we’re lucky to have Yuusuke.”

Turning to look at the rest of his band members, Yuto pulled the hair curler out off Yuusuke’s reach as he spoke out, “Ryosuke, you should stop it with the suffix behind your future husband’s name.” A smirk played on his lips as he saw Ryosuke’s cheeks being tainted in a light pink colour, and the rest of the members stared at the couple.

The next thing that happened was Inoo and Daiki pushing Ryosuke down to the floor, shouting “YUTO PROPOSED TO YOU?!”

“I see that the child is doing well, Yamada.”

Ryosuke bowed down, thanking Johnny for understanding him all these years. “We’re getting married, Ryosuke and I. I hope that … you’ll agree with it. Of course it wouldn’t be public. And Yuusuke needs a proper family.” After running around the dressing room, the six years-old now sleeps peacefully on the back of his father.

A nod of consent was given, and quietly one could hear the soft voice of Yuusuke muttering, “Arigatou.”

Both their parents didn’t expect to meet each other in the restaurant. A private room and both sides felt that both Ryosuke and Yuto were going to delivery serious news. On the Nakajimas’ side, they didn’t expect to see their son carrying a child in his arms and holding onto Ryosuke’s hands lovingly.

However, on the Yamadas’ side, Mrs Yamada gasped, feeling tears prickling in her eyes as she saw a complete family coming into the room. “Ryosuke-kun?” It was Mrs Nakajima that called out to the older man.

Of course both sides knew about them being together years back. However, the Nakajimas had thought that both of them were over when there were no signs of Ryosuke in those years back. “Mum, Dad. I’m going to marry Ryosuke.”

“What’s this about Yuto?” It was clear in the eyes of Yuto’s father that he demands a reason, and not the abrupt announcement that he was bringing a Yamada into the Nakajimas. Yuusuke started to stir, and rubbing his eyes he called out ‘Papa’ softly. A soft smile was on Yuto’s lips as he ruffled his child’s hair, kissing his forehead lightly. “You’re awake already Yuusuke? Did you sleep well?”

“Un. Yuusuke had a really nice dream while being carried by papa!” At this moment, Mrs Nakajima had looked at the child in surprised. Yuusuke had called Yuto his dad. “Papa, I was dreaming that Mama and Papa were walking down a red carpet. Both of you were really happy. It makes Yuusuke happy too.”

“Yuusuke really had a good dream ne?”

“Of course mama!”

Mrs Yamada had felt the glares from the other family, and offered to bring Yuusuke out for a walk, which Yuto and Ryosuke had gladly obliged in passing Yuusuke to her. After all, this conversation shouldn’t be heard by the child.

“Mum, Ryosuke had my child.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Ryosuke-kun’s a guy, even though he might be feminine. Guys can’t get pregnant.” A frown was etched on the woman’s forehead, thinking that this was common sense. A sigh escaped from Mr Yamada as he motioned for Ryosuke to pull up his shirt.

On his stomach, one could see a huge scar running across his abdomen. A scar that he got after going through the surgery while giving birth to Yuusuke. “Mrs Nakajima, as a woman yourself, you would know what kind of surgery Ryosuke had to go through just by seeing this scar. After all I heard from Yuto-kun about how his brother was conceived.” Ryosuke had pulled down his shirt, and silently, he thanked his father for helping him.

Of course he would help Ryosuke. Which father didn’t want their child to find their own happiness?

“But how?”

“He was affected by radiation while he was a fetus. There weren’t any other complications; just that he was able to get pregnant, unlike other males.” 

Mr Nakajima had stayed silent all this while. He was observing how both men were behaving. He saw Yuto slowly stroking Ryosuke’s hand, as if telling the shorter man that everything would be alright. Their interlaced fingers were never apart from the moment they stepped into the room.

“It’s alright. I approve of it.” The looks on both Yuto and Ryosuke made his heart melt a little. He knows that not many people would approve of these kinds of relationships. He knows that even if they were going to get married, Ryosuke couldn’t be called Nakajima Ryosuke in the public. They were both idols after all.

And most of all, he knows that they wanted to give Yuusuke a proper family, as Nakajima Yuusuke.

Both of them stood up in sync, bowing deeply as they said their appreciation. “You have the Yamada’s blessings too, both of you.”

Looking back, Ryosuke thought that that was the happiest day of his life, right after conceiving Yuusuke and Yuto acknowledging Yuusuke.

At night, Yuto was brought to Ryosuke’s apartment. It was now their apartment, since Ryoko had moved back with their parents. Yuto could hear Yuusuke humming something vaguely familiar. 

“Papa, have you heard of this tune before?” Yuusuke hummed it to him as Yuusuke lied in between Yuto and Ryosuke. “I’ve heard it before. A long time ago.”

Their eyes met, and Ryosuke was surprised that Yuto had remember about the tune. “It’s mama’s special lullaby! Yuusuke love it.”

“Sleep son, papa loves you.”

“Un, Yuusuke loves papa too. Mama too.”

In the deep night, a specially lullaby was hummed, and the reunited family drifted off to sleep peacefully.
