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

Happy Grateful Party: part 2

As midnight approached no one failed to notice as Ren got more and more nervous. Kyoko took his hand softly and he jumped.

"What's wrong Ren?" she asked as Toru now in Kyoko's arms leaned on her shoulder, his eyes and smile showed how he once again was becoming sleepy.

Just the simple feeling of her holding his hand made him feel calmer.

"It's nothing princess, I just have a bad feeling your Dad is planning something." Kyoko giggled as she too looked around. Lory was nowhere in sight.

"I'll be right back." he said kissing her hand and walking off towards one of the side rooms.

Kyoko shook her head and was instantly caught up in a conversation with Ogata. Kanae and Chiori where standing with Yashiro watching the couple.

"1,000 yen says he's going to propose to her at midnight." Chiori said smiling as Kanae thought about the possibility before turning to Chiori.

"Your on! 1,000 yen says it's something else. He doesn't want to rush her and if he was going to propose he would have left there coupling announcement til then also." Chiori nodded her head at these words.

"I still think he's going to propose." Yashiro just stood there gaping at the women.

"Are you really betting on whether our friends are going to propose or not?" he asked, shock showing on his face as he stared at them. Kanae smiled.

"Yeah, you in?" she asked with a cheeky glint in her eyes as Yashiro grabbed Chiori's outstretched hand.

"1,000 yen says he doesn't propose tonight but he will within the next 3 months." the small crowd laughed as the clock struck midnight.

Party cannons exploded from 8 different places around the room, filling the air with shimmering stars as they rained down upon the guests. The grand doors opened as trumpets blared, revealing Lory on a pure white horse. He was leading along a small, dapple grey pony and a spotted miniature Shetland, both with large red ribbons around their necks. Ren who had returned to Kyoko's side without him realising sighed audibly, making Kyoko jump slightly as the band struck up the tune for Happy Birthday and the crowd began to sing along. Two cakes were brought in from either side of the room. Toru's was a knight on a spotted horse while Kyoko's was a large number 18.

Even as they sang, the crowd made a walkway for Lory who was happily singing along while riding through the room towards his daughter and grandson. Maria appeared beside Kyoko ushered over by uncle Tiger.

"Oh God what's he doing now?" Maria asked completely embarrassed while Kyoko just laughed.

"Well you were right Ren, he was planning something." she turned to Ren who held out a large Bouquet of roses all large and beautiful Queen Rosas.

"Happy Birthday. princess." he said kissing her lips softly, just as Lory got close enough to speak to them also.

"Can you put my daughter down long enough for me to wish her Happy Birthday too!" Lory asked as he pouted.

"What's the point of my big entrance if you steal my limelight." everyone around laughed and chuckled as Lory smiled down at his small family.

Kyoko blushed again and Ren smiled, wrapping his arm around Kyoko's waist as Toru, now completely awake after the confetti and the horse and ponies, was giggling.

"Now my little beauties." Lory said leaning forwards.

"What's a prince and princess without his or her own pony?" Maria's eyes opened wide as she looked at the little dapple grey pony.
