Kyoko's baby bother! (A Skip Beat! Fanfic)

Family, Friends and Shopping.

"So did you have a good time? Was it a nice place?" Chiori asked as they sat in Kyoko's sitting room. Lory had insisted he keep Toru for the night. Kyoko had been a little reluctant as Lory had him a lot while they had been away so she didn't want to burden him, but Kanae had dragged her away.

"Mo, if he didn't want to look after him he wouldn't have asked. Now let's go already." Kanae had said, but now they were all settled with drinks and chatting Kyoko thought it had been a nice thing to have time with her friends alone.

"It was really nice would you like to see?" she asked as she grabbed the laptop Lory had given her off the kitchen counter. It had taken all of Lory's wits to get her to accept the present, saying in the end it was for work purposes and also so she could video call Kuu and Julie which had finally won her over.

"Dad took loads of videos." she rolled her eyes expressively as she plugged it into the socket, flipped it open and switching it on. After a few moments she opened up the shared network and started showing them the videos of the holiday, including the one of Toru standing for the first time.

"Oh he also spoke his first word." she beamed at them.

"Do you have that video too? You seem to have every other little thing he did?" Kanae said with sarcasm though both girls knew she was enjoying watching her nephew as much as they were.

"We do actually." she said but blushed and turned away. Kanae sat up straighter a little bemused by this reaction.

"What was his first word, Kyoko?" she asked and there it was: the flinch.

Is it bad? Is he saying his mother's or father's name? Kyoko leant forward, found the video and pressed play just before she jumped up to fill the teapot, she was gone and in the kitchen before Kanae could stop her The two girls looked puzzled at each other then back at the screen just as Toru said 'dada.'

Lory missed the picture of a lifetime as Kanae and Chiori goggled at each other speechless before both jumping up and running over to the kitchen.

"So did you teach him that or Tsuruga-san?" Chiori asked smiling broadly as the pair cornered her in the kitchen with the same knowing smile.

"Neither of us did, he just seemed to come out with it." she replied as she cowered under those smiles. Reaching to her neck she held the dolphin charm in her hand as Kanae took over the investigating.

"So now we know where Tsuruga-san disappeared to for 2 days now the question is, is that the only reason he came back smiling like he did?" Kyoko tried to meet both of their smiling eyes as they backed her up against the sink. If people hadn't known these three girls to be best friends it looked strangely like a bullying scene Natsu would come up with.

"Smiling?" she asked trying to play ignorant as they smiled down at her.

"Yeah, you know. Big grin on his face, can't stop being happy. The word of mouth is that Tsuruga-san's in love." Kyoko's eyes widened and that was all Kanae needed, she had known Kyoko a lot longer than Chiori so she knew that look.

"And I'm sure there is video evidence to prove it, if I know the president." she was running back to the laptop Chiori just a heartbeat behind as she scanned the video names.

Bingo...Well you just knew there had to be one with the love monster that he is

She opened up the video labelled 'Sweetest kiss.' that was hidden within a secret file labelled KJ. Kanae was excellent with computers, they watched with their jaws dropping at the first kiss between Ren and Kyoko as they both screamed ran and hugged their completely embarrassed friend.
