When Steven had placed Satoko next to him while he laid on the bed, Akio didnt really look over at his own daughter since he already knew it was her. Instead he only lifted up his head so that his chin was resting on the pillow and he was staring at the headboard. He simply just listened to what Steven said as he contiued to frown deeply unable to even say anything due to how he started to have tears coming down his own cheeks. He could understand that she didnt tell him that she was a princess, but still even that wasn't what was making his mind so confused, it was just due to all the painful things that had happened from the beginning of her other father hurting her, and than to her own brother using her as an experiment, along with Akio not being able to do anything at all to stop it from happening. "Steven....dont apologize anymore...I dont care...how complicated your life is....I..I just dont care anymore.." he said with his voice sounding broken up from his own sobbing.

Hearing how Akio's voice sounded scared her."If you want to leave then you can.Im not stopping you."Steven said as she finished unpacking and sat down on the floor against the bed."i know i should tell you a lot of things...i knew you would hate me if i told you though.Kouja...he did what he did to me because he fell in love with me and he wanted me to carry his child...he told me that while he experimented on me..but my family had experimented on me because of who i was.My family hated Celeste my mother."

Hearing from Steven that she told him he could just leave if he wanted, he couldnt gather up the strength to even look up anymore as he just lowered his head so that his face was digging into the pillow. He couldn't stand the fact that she just said that, he didnt want to leave her or Satoko, but now being told that made him even more scared as he clentched onto the pillow tightly with his own nails. All of a sudden when he heard from Steven that her brother; Kouja actually loved her and wanted her to carry his child his eyes widened up as he turned around looking at her sitting on the floor. All he could do this time was stumble out of bed as he crawled his way in front of her, holding onto her hands tightly even when they were trembling terribly. "Wh...wh..why...d..didnt you tell me.." he asked still shaking from head to toe and with more tears coming down his cheeks.

"I thought you had already knew so i kept it to myself.I also didn't want to hurt you then i already have."She said as she frowned deeply."i know soon you will leave me because all of this is becoming too much for you.Im not going to stop you this time.Im too complex for any man to handle."Steven said in a saddened tone.

All of a sudden when Steven said that she knew, Akio would leave her one day. All he could do was frown even more deeply as he wrapped his arms around her body tightly kissing her lips just as deeply and passionately. It was true, that he was really hurt at the fact of learning all these things now, but even though it hurt, it was better off that he knew now rather than never knowing in the first place. So once he had pulled back the kiss slowly, he contiued to frown as he tilted his head to still look at her. "Steven...I know...your life....may be complexed...I know its hard for both you and me...but you are carrying another child inside you...along with Satoko...our daughter, I'm still not sure..if it truly is our baby in there. But I will do whatever it takes to be with you forever." he said with a little whisper even though his voice was still breaking down from his tears still coming out.

"Im scared your going to leave me.Im scared i will have to raise Satoko and the baby all alone and without a father.I don't want to be left alone."She said clentching onto her chest as she felt her own tears falling down as she shook her head and burried her face in her palms as she cried."I can't stand loosing you Akio..I lied and hid things from you i know that.But i only did that to protect you from the pain.I already knew you were in pain so i kept things to myself."

When Akio heard Steven begin to cry, he frowned as he kept holding her closer toward his own body looking down at her while she cried. "I...I dont want to leave you either...Steven..I love you...I..I always have and always will. Its just...no matter what happens to you..I've noticed I could never protect you...or our baby..like when Kouja had come to take you...I didnt even know it until later on after I was captured with Satoko...I wasn't even strong enough to protect you.." he said holding her even tighter in his arms as he shook his head from her statement. "Steven..I dont want you to hide anything....anything at all...It always hurts me more..to know that your hiding from me....me of all people." he said kissing the top of her head gently.

Steven buried her face into Akio's shoulder as she held onto him tightly.She took a deep breath in."A lot i haven't told you about but i think you already figured one of my deep dark secrets since you saw the painting of my mother in the main room.There are some paintings with my mother,me and my twin sister.There are pictures of me in this room."She told him as she stood up taking one of the pictures off the nightstand."This is my mother and me and my sister."She said showing him a picture of her mother Celeste and two younger girls who looked exactly alike with dark blue hair.

When Akio heard that there were lot of secrets that Steven still didnt tell him, he frowned a little but was just still happy at the thought to know that her deepest darkest secret was that she was a princess. It wasn't really like he minded it, rather just the fact it was still a little shocking to just learn about that. Though, when she went over grabbing a picture and showing it to him that it was a painting of her, her twin sister, her mother and father; All he could do was tilt his head with a frown still on his face. "So...which one is you?"

"Im the one in the purple dress."She said as she pointed to the little girl with the long dark hair and in the purple dress."Thats my real hair color.i dyed it red because my family had no choice but to go into hiding because they would find us again."She told him as she frowned."My sister Evan moved away because we both had no choice but to split up because before i met you and before i lived with my step family they found us so we had to far away and split up from each other."

Listening to Steven explain about which one of the girls she was, he nodded as his eyes widened up when he heard that her real hair color was basically blue and that she had to dye it so that her family and her could go into hiding. "Wait....whose 'they'?" he asked curiously, wiping away the remaining tears in his eyes. Just hearing that Steven had to split up from her own twin sister, he frowned deeply as he lowered his head down still staring at the picture. "How about....we try and find her..one of these days?" he asked slowly lifting up his head trying to force a smile onto his face.

"They...are the killers. i was the last twin born and i was a full demon pretty much.When i was younger my mom had my demon sealed away so i wouldn't kill anyone.The killers they were after my family...but it was more like they were after me.We never knew why though.But all we knew was they were after me.Finding my sister later on....would be nice.I miss her so much."

Akio listened to what Steven said about the people being killers trying to kill their family. He frowned deeply as he thought at first that they were after her whole family, but when she said that they were actually really after her, his eyes widened up as he walked a little closer to her wrapping his arms around her gently. "I.....I dont want to let you....get killed...I..I'll do whatever it takes to protect you from them Steven....even if it means..I have to sacrifice my own life..." he said firmly having no more regrets for saying anything but only confidence to protect her from now on, due to how many times he had failed to do so.

Steven smiled."Thanks...i think the only person who would know is my mother b-but she is nowhere to be found because the day they attacked my mother went missing after she told my sister and i to escape out of our bedroom window."Steven told him as she hugged Akio tightly."I don't want to be killed especially since im pregnant now.I need to be here with my family.So i will be here with my family.No matter what i am going to stay with my family.I am not ever going to leave you or satoko or the baby."

"I'm sure we'll find your mother..and your sister...I promise you..we'll find them." Akio said trying to comfort Steven as he kept his arms around her, kissing her cheeks softly. Even he didnt really know if they could really find her mother, but at least she still had her father, that was better than nothing. Though when she said that she didnt want to die, that she just wanted to stay with her family he actually was able to smile a little more honestly as he nodded. "Yeah..I'll make sure that...you can stay with your family..no matter what." he said clentching his fists a little tightly.

Steven held onto Akio."thanks Akio...so now that we are home...is there anything you want to do?"Steven asked as she looked up at Akio with a smile and kissed his lips softly."A really cool thing about this home is..we have an ultra sound and all of the doctor things we need for when the baby is born since my dad is actually a doctor."

"Hmm....I dont know, Satoko is completely asleep...so why dont we just go to sleep with her?..." Akio suggested as he heard Steven talk about how her father was a doctor and that this house had an ultrasound machine along with everything needed to give birth to the baby. That made things much more easier since that meant that when it was time for Steven to give birth, they wouldn't need to rush her to a nearby hospital but rather just need to bring her to her own father.

"Yeah that sounds good."She said with a smile as she stood up and walked up to their king sized bed and layed down next to satoko and waited for Akio to join her.She held onto satoko and smiled over at Akio waiting for him.Satoko mumbled in her sleep a bit and curled herself in Steven's chest.Steven stroked her little blond hairs smiling down at her.

Akio stood back up as well as he saw Steven walk over to the bed laying down next to Satoko. As he just went over to the other side, laying down with her seeing how their daughter curled up against her own mother's chest. "She looks so peaceful.." he said with a whisper, leaning over kissing Satoko's head.

Steven nodded in agreement."Yeah.."She whispered back."Lets try to get some sleep."Steven said with a smile and kissed Akio's lips and kissed Satoko's forhead.Steven then got under the covers and closed her eyes falling fast asleep.It was around 6pm so it wasn't too early to go to sleep.It was still pretty early.But Steven didn't care she was pretty exhausted.She stayed close to Akio and had her hand on her stomach rubbing it gently.

When Steven told Akio that they should try to get some sleep and kissed his lips, he just gave a little soft smile kissing her lips back gently nodding. So he just laid on his side so that he could look at both Satoko and Steven as they slept, closing his own eyes slowly to go to sleep. Though even with his eyes closed for so long, Hikako couldnt fall asleep the whole time as he stayed awake just the only difference was that his eyes were closed.

Steven fell right asleep.She was exhausted.She had a smile on her face as she slept peacefully.When she woke up it was nearly midnight and her stomach growled.She woke up and rubbed her eyes looking over at the clock seeing it was nearly midnight."Wow...we slept that long...and missed dinner too...the baby is probably hungry."She mumbled to herself.

During the night, Akio still hadn't fallen asleep as he heard Steven's stomach growl all of a sudden. Looking over at her he gave a little nervous smile tilting his head. "So...I'm guessing your hungry." he said leaning over kissing her cheek gently and rubbing her stomach slowly.

Steven blushed as Akio rubbed her stomach."Y-Yeah,we kinda skipped dinner since we both fell asleep before dinner time."She said with a chuckle."I think we can sneak into the kitchen and get something to eat.I use to do that when i was little.Well me and my sister.My sister mostly.She was more like the adventurous person and i was the shy sister"

When Steven suggested that they could sneak into the kitchen for some food, Akio gave a little quiet chuckle as he looked down at Satoko still sleeping peacefully. "Well...since your hungry, lets go." he said picking up Satoko into his own arms, even though this was Steven's father's home, and he knew he could trust her father, he still didnt want to leave their own daughter alone in a dark room; what if she woke up?
