Izana's Precious Twin

Penthouse

Realized I forgot to include a reference photo for Elise. The website doesn't have any artists named or linked for their art pieces. I would greatly appreciate it if any of you know the person so I can credit them.

Yamada wanted to try something and hid Izumiu from Izana's point of view. As he suspected he started to cry. This time he went in front of Elise and he quoted down. They buckled them into the backseat and drove off. She noticed they were passing apartment blocks and headed towards the skyscrapers and business towers.

"Where are we going?"

"Oh. My boss held a giant lottery for all the employees of the company. I had my name drawn and won a penthouse. Everything paid for and ownership is in my name. Figured it'd be as good as any way to raise-"

"That's not what we agreed on Yamada. I kept it instead of aborting and you said there was an orphanage that could take it in."

"I know Elise and I'm grateful. That you kept him, I mean them. But. After seeing them I want to keep them and raise our little boys."

"Yamada! I never wanted kids! You can keep them but I'm going back to the Philippines!"

"Can't we talk about this?!"

Tense silence permeated throughout the confined space of the vehicle. The babies cooing at each other was the only sound heard. 

The car sped down the road and turned into an underground garage for the building. Together they looked like a lovely couple. Both were good looking and babies added to the appeal. However neither said a word to each other. Not when they entered the lobby. Elevator up. Or inside the penthouse.

It was sparsely decorated and didn't have too much. Bedrooms, offices, dining, and living. There a few rooms he left empty because he had not plans but now he does. A nursery would be perfect! Izana and Izumi were placed down on the king size bed and he hastily lined the edges with pillows and blankets before covering them extra sheets as a crude way to prevent them falling off. 

Elise was fuming on the expensive light grey sectional couch. She agreed to give birth and put him up for adoption or in an orphanage. She felt betrayed that he wanted to keep him. No, them! She couldn't believe she had been carrying two and not one. Yamada also agreed to no kids so why the change of heart?!

"Elise........let's talk. I have a proposal."

*Snorts* We have nothing to discuss. Changed your mind because they look cute?!"

"No. It's not that. I just..."

He trailed off looking ahead. He sat at the other end that was closer to the opened bedroom door. He faintly heard cooing and blubbering. He relaxed hearing they were fine. 

"What about your other kids huh? You clearly had no problem leaving them behind for some new woman to fuck yourself with."

"That's not true!"

"Hit a nerve?"

Elise shot back. He held up a hand and faced sideways.

"Five years. Education and life skills. You and I spend five years teaching Izana what he needs to know and then we leave. They'll take care of themselves. No one else knows that children live here which means no CPS. Public schools here don't care enough about their home life."

"I want something out of this Sano. Raising kids is such a pain, and I'll be wasting five years of my life for two instead of one."

"Alright then. How about money? I'll give you 1 million yen when we're done. You can forgot about them and do as you wish."

Elise contemplated the offer. He wasn't asking to love them. Just feed and change then a bit of homeschooling and she was free. Yamada explained that Izana would be taught how to read and write, the school would do the rest. He'd also be capable for doing everyday tasks such as shopping for groceries and cooking so he could look after himself and Izumi.

"Since Izana was the baby you initially carried and we didn't know there was a second one."

"Deal. Where's the the uh breast pumps?"

"Second bedroom on the right. Why?"

"Might as well do it now not later. I can't do much if they're feeding from me."

She stood up and briskly walked out the living area to her room. He rubbed his head and left for work in the office. He walked in and saw Izumi laying on his back sucking the pacifier. He looked at him and flailed his arms. He scooped him up and rubbed his back while walking around the room. Night was coming so understandably they'd be tired. Izana's eyes focused on Izumi in his arms to make sure he was okay.

He rearranged some pillows and blankets then placed the sleeping infant on top. He did the same with Izana and kissed both goodnight.

It was quiet throughout until one of the boys wailed. He groaned and dragged himself off the sectional to comfort him. This went on every hour or so. 

"I'm going out for nursery supplies and furniture. You should come."

"Why should I?"

"Pick out some toys and clothes for them. I can't bring the twins by myself."

She rolled her eyes and dressed for the outside. He wore a simple button down shirt and slacks and changed them into clean onesies and secured into carriers. Izumi played with the toys dangling in front of him. 

"I know I have it somewhere. Where is it?!"

Yamada was digging through the walk in closet trying to find a diaper bag he never got rid of from Shinichiro's birth. Alas, it was not found. Giving up he saw Elise waiting at the door carrying Izana. Smiling lightly he grunted as he slid his arm underneath and shifted it underneath his elbow.

"Let's go!"

Back to the same mall from the other day they took the elevator to the 7th floor filled with various baby stores and childrens' play centers. Elise chose to pick cribs and changing tables. 

"I think you'll enjoy buying them clothes and stuff more than me."

Turns she was right. He loaded up the cart with onesies, socks, hat, and more blankets. Everything was so cute and themed. This one was new and had a buy one get one free on the entire store. Next up were bottles and a diaper bag to replace the missing one. He stopped in front of a display of diaper backpacks.

"Excuse me sir, do you carry wipes and diapers here?"

"Of course sir! Right this way."

The very polite store associate led him to the shelves and he grabbed a couple packs. Izumi was sleeping and caused no trouble. He smiled at him.

"Let's go meet up with mommy and Zana 'kay?"

He gurgled in what seemed to be happy.

Good job me on posting a chapter the very next day. ☺️
