Chapter 10

Later... 'Hello, idiot scientist!' Gene's cheerful voice called.

'Gene, you better not have had anything to do with the dream I had last night.'

'I had nothing to do with it. Although, I wish I did. It had to have been something if it has you acting out of character even a little bit! As it is, I can't affect your dreams in any way, trust me, I tried before I met Mai. Doesn't work at all.' Gene sighed disappointedly.

'Do you have any idea what might have caused it?' Naru asked, choosing to ignore his brother's disappointment.

'Maybe it was your Psychometry? I don't know, I don't know what the dream was about.'

'Never mind, forget I asked.'

'Okay. Anyway, so Lin's going to become a permanent addition to Mai's household, huh?'

'Certainly seems that way. Yuki will be there too.' Naru paused, had the couple on the porch been Yuki and Lin? He shook his head.

'Are you okay, little brother?' Gene asked, picking up on Naru's mood.

'Are you sure...'

'That Mai likes you?' Gene softly finished his brother's sentence. 'Yeah. Although, if you don't start showing your affections, she might give up on you. She already thinks you don't like her.'

'...'

'Just tell her! Or maybe you should show her! She loves you, you love her. I'm starting to understand why Yuki gets irritated with both of you.'

Naru couldn't help himself. He laughed. Even in death, Gene was still his usual cheerful, melodramatic, prankster self; the only person who had ever made him laugh. At least until Mai came along. The aforementioned girl stirred in her sleep, making Naru realize exactly how late it was. The twins had been in bed for an hour, and Mai had fallen asleep in the library where they had sat reading in a comfortable silence. Naru grabbed the blanket off the couch and covered her gently before leaning down to pick up her book. Pride and Prejudice. Mai did strike him as that type of person who would enjoy the story. A closer look showed the book to be from a library, and the card showed that she'd had it out several times before.

Perhaps, just maybe, he knew what to get her for her birthday.

The Next Day...

"Wow. Looks like you were right Mai, it is Shing." Bou-san whistled as Mai cleaned up the broken fragments of the pink patterned teacup.

"I figured it was. Not just because of his similarities to Naru, but also because of his protectiveness. Although," Mai paused, "now that I think about it, Naru's very protective too." She shrugged.

"Yes. Noll has always been protective of his friends and family." Luella said, stirring her tea. "He absolutely refused to let Gene get hurt when they were children. Of course, Gene being the way he was managed to get hurt anyway." Luella smiled sadly.

"It's alright, Love." Martin put his arm around his wife. "It's alright."

There was an awkward silence for a moment, until Yuki entered the room, completely unaware of the situation.

"Good morning everyone!" She said, sitting down on Lin's lap, earning another starry-eyed sigh from Luella.

"Well, that wraps up the case." Yuki said, ignoring Luella's starry-eyed gaze. "Oh, by the way, Mai, I've got the letter from the adoption agency." Yuki pulled out a plain cream envelope.

Mai took it warily. Every one held their breath as she opened and read the contents.

"I'm..."

(Should I leave it there? Nah!)

"I'm...I'm going to be a mother." Mai said softly. Yuki squealed and grabbed Mai's hands. The two spun around crazily jumping up and down in what was the first real display of immaturity on Yuki's part. Lin laughed as his girlfriend began to list off all the ways she intended to spoil the boys as their Godmother. Naru merely shook his head as his mother grabbed his father and Yuki, who grabbed Lin, and the four left to go shopping, much to his father's and Lin's displeasure. Mai made a face, and Naru could almost see an anime sweat drop.

"Come on, Mai." He said, sweeping his assistant out of the room with no problems.

"Na-Naru?! What are you doing?" She stammered, blushing adorably as he placed his hand at the small of her back.

"You'll see soon enough." He smirked at her, causing the blush to darken several shades. "You'll see."

'Bout time! Idiot scientist!'

'Go away please.'

Mai wasn't sure, but she had the distinct impression that she heard Gene laughing. But that was impossible, right?

Unbeknownst to the two adults, two small black haired figures followed silently, armed with a camera from 'Aunt' Luella and 32,000 yen each from Yuki-nee.
