“That is helpful right?” Nino asked eyeing the stack of photos and reports that his friend had dug out for him. The doctor had left satisfied that he was resting and that there was nothing seriously wrong with him or ET. Now they were just waiting for the nurse to arrive in the morning. Nino still wasn’t completely sure about having a nurse coming in and messing around with him but he knew that it was better than having to go to hospital, something that had already been suggested for the latter part of his pregnancy.

“It’s perfect, do I want to know how you managed to get all of this?”
“I told you, I have a friend, or rather two friends that are private investigators...They owed me a favour. I worked with them when i did admin for the law office. I really wasn't expecting them to found out so much so quickly” Nino answered looking at the top image with a frown. “Guess I owe them one now. He really has been a busy boy...”

“Your friends seem to think he goes from rich man to rich man getting as much as he can out of them before moving on. If I’m honest, I never expected him to be this bad. His home life was never very good...” Satoshi sighed and Nino growled with a sudden rush anger at the tone Satoshi used. Chinen Yuuri was nothing but an irritating little shit, not worthy of the pity Satoshi was about to give him.

“Nope, not listening, I am not going to allow you to feel sorry for that prat. So what if his home life was shit? A shit home life doesn’t mean you have the right to be a prick. Plenty of people who have shit home lives grow up to be decent human beings” He spat before sagging against the pillows with his eyes closed.

“Are you okay? Are you feeling sick again?”

“No, just tired. I know that the doctor said I was underdeveloped for a bearer but I am a bearer so why the hell am I so pathetic?” He grumbled looking at the small bump of his stomach. “You are causing me a lot of trouble, little ET”

“You’re not pathetic, Kazunari, you just have a lot of stress. I know I’m not helping...” Satoshi sighed reaching over and lightly stroking his bump. ET obviously approved as he started to jump around under the touch. Satoshi continued to move his hand and Nino gave a chuckle closing his eyes and relaxing under the touch. Although he protested at the amount of time Satoshi spent touching and caressing his stomach he really loved having the older man touch him.

“It’s not your fault you prat, it’s that bloody hobgoblin, he’s nothing but a pest and I will be glad when the trial is over and he is out of our lives for good. I’m not looking forward to being a witness...” Nino worried at his lip knowing that that was only half true. He was looking forward to seeing the little brat get what he deserved.

“You don’t have to be, the doctor can give you a medical exemption due to the volatile nature of your pregnancy. You being in court would cause undue stress on you and ET...” Satoshi informed him sounding like he was repeating something that he had been told and Nino gave a nod relaxing even further into the pillows before his stomach gave a healthy sounding grumble of hunger and he opened one eye, his cheeks flushing hotly, before bursting out into laughter.

“Sorry, guess throwing up makes me hungry...” He chuckled adding his own hand to his stomach and Satoshi smiled at him before lifting up his t-shirt and pressing a kiss over his navel. The action caused his stomach to flutter with happiness and he light brushed Satoshi’s hair with his fingertips.

“I’m not surprised, what would you like?”

“I dunno, anything is fine...Has Masaki brought the dogs back yet?” He wondered knowing that the answer would be no but really wanting to see his little puppy. Although he had enjoyed himself a lot on his holiday with his lover he had missed the crazy hounds and he didn’t want them to feel pushed out.

“...If he had don’t you think they would be in here with us? He was going to but I thought that it would be best to let you get your strength up before having to deal with them...” Satoshi answered getting up and walking out of the bedroom. His movements were a lot easier than they had been earlier and he wondered if the doctor had given him something stronger for the pain.

“Hmm, guess that makes sense. But I want them home. I’ve missed my babies...” He said loudly so Satoshi would hear before shifting around in the bed and picking up one of the files. He had collected the information but he hadn’t read through it, he had wanted Satoshi to be the one to do that first, now that Satoshi had there was no harm in him looking through it. There was a detailed report to accompany the photos stretching back years. Interviews had been conducted with some of Chinen’s former lovers and a few of them had agreed to be witness for Satoshi. With this evidence there was no way that Chinen was going to win and Nino wished that he could be there in the court to see his little face crumple as he realised his past was coming back to bite him in the bum.

“You look happier” Satoshi remarked coming back in with a tray that held a simple meal of porridge and a cup of coffee. He supposed that it was doctors orders for him to have something light but he really wanted a burger with mayo and pickles. He really wanted pickles and maybe salted caramel.

“Satoshi, do we have any pickles left? And salted caramel?” Nino asked hopefully his stomach rumbling with hope which faded when Satoshi shook his head.

“No, why?”

“I really want some...Like really, really want some...”

“Eat this first and then I’ll see what I can do” Satoshi promised and Nin beamed at his lover and picked up his spoon preparing to eat the porridge.

“Thanks, Satoshi, you’re the best...” Satoshi let out a laugh and kissed his hairline before sitting back down on the bed. He moved the papers aside, a smile gracing his own lips, and Nino grinned happily with a mouthful of porridge. Although there was still a long way to go things didn’t seem to be as hopeless as they had first thought. Soon things would be moving and the jumped up little goblin would be out of their lives for good.
