The next morning, you woke up from first, your baby crying, then Uta getting up and finally, your phone ringing.

As Uta set Yukizou down and gave him a bottle of blood, you answered the phone groggily.

"Hello?" You asked, rubbing your eyes as you sat blearily on the couch.

"Is this YN LN?" A strange man's voice asked over the phone.

"Um, yes. Why? Who is asking?" You shifted in your seat uncomfortably, as Uta looked over.

"We have a Juuzou Suzuya here, he's listed you as his next-of-kin. He's doing just fine, actually, but he's been hurt and we think you should probably come pick him up and help him home."

"Here, where? A hospital?" You asked. "Hurt how? We're not very close, he should have a Yukinori Shinohara listed. He would be better to ask than me..."

"Right, we would, but Mr. Shinohara is also in the hospital and you're the only next-of-kin. Yes, we're the hospital, so if you could come and pick up Mr. Suzuya, we'd really appreciate it, he's causing a bit of a ruckus here..."

You sighed and pinched the bridge of your nose.

"What's wrong?" Uta asked you, tilting his head to the side.

"Alright. I'll be there today." You spoke into the phone as you hung up. "Juuzou's in the hospital, causing problems and they're insisting I come pick him up. You're welcome to stay here while I deal with this."

"Do you want me to drive you?" He asked you politely. "You haven't eaten yet and you're looking a bit pale. Perhaps a liver smoothie to go?"

You smiled at him.

"No, I'm fine. I don't think a hospital would take too kindly to me walking in there with ghoul eyes anyway. But if you want to drive me, you can. It means you might end up driving him though too... Is that okay?" You pinched your lips nervously.

"If I have to kill him, I have to kill him. I'm going to have a baby with you if it's the last thing I do." Uta shrugged. "Didn't I brag to you about running the fourth ward? I'm not scared for myself in a car with the guy. I'm more concerned about him taking out my unsuspecting friends."

"I don't think he'd do that." You mentioned again.

"You say that." Uta stood up and swooped the baby into his arms. "But I guess I don't know him."

"I appreciate you taking the chance." You looked Uta in the eyes. "With me."

"No one else will have a baby with me." He frowned exaggeratedly at you. "I don't understand. Am I so hideous?"

"Yes." You frowned back at him. "I think our baby might be so ugly it'll need a bag over its head."

As you stood up, Uta smacked your butt teasingly and you giggled.

"We can take my car, Yukizou's seat is already installed in it." You blushed lightly. "Thanks, again."

"Well the hope is that the good karma means I won't have to deal with this guy much longer besides handing over his baby." Uta admitted. "And even then, that's more your position than mine."

"Fair enough."
