Two worlds brothers-conflict book 2

Secret

The next day first thing in the morning Akito and Eliza change and go to his sisters house to make breakfast.

Dina is the first to come downstairs, her hair is in a messy bun and and she yawns

"I thought I smelled coffee" she says and pours herself a cup

"Can I have some too?" Yuki yawns from the doorway

"You're too young for coffee" Akito says and Dina hands her a cup, Yuki sticks her tongue out at him

"Is that bacon?" Sasha asks rubbing her eyes sleepily "Hey Eliza"

"Hey sweety" Eliza smiles and ruffles her hair

"Where's Irene?" Akito asks getting plates and silverware

"Here" Irene says, she's the only one that's dressed instead of pajamas like the other three. She helps set the glasses and some juice for Sasha and Yuki. They sit down and Akito serves their plates evenly and puts some bread rolls in the middle

"Coffee Eliza?" Irene asks passing her a cup

"No thanks, I can't" Eliza smiles and stares at Akito who's sitting between Yuki and Sasha

"Why what's wrong?" Dina asks worried

"Are you sick?" Sasha asks

"No" Eliza smiles and stares harder at Akito

"Just spit it out bro!" Yuki says almost hitting him

"She's pregnant" Akito says happily, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth

"Pregnant?!" Irene screams

"A baby?" Sasha says excitedly almost knocking down her glass over

"Are... I mean is it... certain?" Dina asks slowly and in a very quiet voice

"Yes Dina I'm past the danger zone" Eliza smiles "almost three months Akito?"

"Yup" Akito smiles and Dina smiles as well. Akito squeezes her hand across the table

"So what's going to happen now?" Irene asks

"Well it has to be a secret for as long as possible" Akito says and Eliza nods

"If this gets out..." Eliza says and takes a deep breath

"It could mean trouble" Yuki says very serious "you could be in danger" Eliza and Akito nod and Irene rests a tentative hand on her stomach, Eliza smiles and holds it over it.

"Speaking of danger" Eliza starts "I have been searching for the people responsible for the explosion and I have some leads. I've heard Lions travel well in packs and we are family now so I'll need all trustworthy help I can get. Besides, Tony is still unconscious so he can't give me any insight and Jasmine was outside so, she's a dead end"

"Sasha go change sweetheart" Irene smiles, Sasha pouts but does as she's told, however she takes her plate with her and some rolls. Once she's out of earshot and the door to her bedroom clicks shut Eliza starts

"I went to the ruins a few days ago and I found some things some, very interesting things" Eliza sighs "I don't know how we'll be able to trust until everything is sorted out and we'll have to be very careful about who we talk to and what we say"

"What did you find?" Irene asks taking a sip of her coffee, she's the perfect image of grace and tranquility, she looks like a Family leader.

"This goes far beyond one or two people" Akito says, and Eliza stares at him "I found you evidence in the closet" Akito explains and Eliza rolls her eyes at him
