Chapter Text
The past five months have been eventful, Haru knew being a first time parent was going to be a rough and interesting time but he didn't expect it to be the most beautiful, funny, and best five months in his life. He made the most sweet, perfect, lovely daughter. Seeing her grow and develop a personality in the past few months is the reason Haru's heart is full of love for her. But Haru’s favorite part of being a parent was seeing his partner, his husband cherish and love their daughter, like she was the most precious and fragile person out there. Haru sure will miss those times where Daisuke was home 24/7 and helping him out throughout the day. But sadly Daisuke's four months of parenting leave are over and he has to return back to working for the Kambe business and the TMPD.
Before Haru was the first to wake up but now Daisuke was the first to wake up, being the good husband he is, he takes care of Amaya needs which then gives Haru an extra hour of sleep. You see Daisuke doesn't have to wake up early but he chooses to in order to give his tired/exhausted lover an extra hour of sleep before he wakes up and has to take care of Amaya by himself. Another reason was because he loved cherishing his lover while he slept, due to many reasons they don't have any time for them, their only alone time was in the morning and that was a stretch. Daisuke four months absence affected his schedule badly, the moment he returned from the TMPD he immediately went to his office to answer emails and attend meetings but of course after kissing his husband and their daughter.
Haru would be lying if he said this sudden change didn't affect him, he was so used to waking up with Daisuke next to him in their bed. Now he wakes up alone, usually Daisuke either downstairs, in the nursery, or in his office but Daisuke never leaves before kissing Haru goodbye and telling him how much he loves him and will miss him. Those words always put a smile on his face. Haru always makes sure to wake up and prepare Daisuke lunch but sometimes he overslept and didn't have time to prepare him lunch. And today is one of those days.
“I'm sorry honey, I must have overslept,” Daisuke placed a kiss on Haru's cheek, “It's okay love. It's no big deal, I'll buy myself lunch” Daisuke placed a kiss on Haru’s lips. “I’ll be going now, I love you and don't worry too much. Okay?” Haru nodded and kissed him, “I love you, i’ll miss you”
“Me too darling” Daisuke let go of Haru's waist and walked over towards Amaya high chair and kissed her forehead, “Daddy loves you, take care of your papa for me. Okay?” She giggled and kicked her little chubby legs, he laughed and placed one more quick kiss on her forehead. He grabbed his keys at the front door side table, he turned back and waved at Haru, whispering a ‘i love you’ and closed the door. Haru sighed and dropped his smile, he was about to go deep in thought until a little laugh caught his attention. He faced his daughter and smiled, a genuine smile. She was banging her teething toy on the high chairs table and having a laughing fit. Haru picked her up and started cooing and lifting her up and down in the air, she seemed to be enjoying herself by the squeaks coming out of her mouth.
After a few more up and down swings, Haru walked over to the living and gently laid her down on her playmat so they could do their usual morning routine of one hour of tummy time. Tummy time wasnt both of them favorite times of the day, Amaya didn't like being on her stomach and Haru hated hearing her cry and begged Haru to lay her on her back . Before Daisuke went back to work he was in charge of tummy time but now since last month Haru is now in charge. Haru looked up at the calendar displayed in their living room and sighed, in two weeks he was scheduled to return back to work. Of course they already prepared and hired a nanny, luckily Amaya seems to like the nanny and enjoy her presence, to Haru that was a bonus. Considering Amaya is like her daddy and hates meeting new people, when Haru’s aunt came to visit them she threw a fit, she was screaming and crying to be in her papa or daddy arms.
Haru looked down at her, she rolled over and was now “talking” to the design on her playmat, he smiled. He was definitely excited to go back to work, he missed seeing his friends everyday, he missed his cubicle, writing reports, the vending machine drink selections, basically he missed everything he did in modern crimes. But he was going to miss spending his whole day with his daughter but on the bright side he would be able to see Daisuke now for more than a couple hours. A sudden cry brought his attention back, Amaya hand was on her mouth pulling at her gums. Haru immediately knew why she was crying, he picked her up, and walked towards the kitchen. He opened the freezer door, pulled out her teething toy, and handed it over to her, she gladly accepted and began chewing her toy, Haru kissed her temple and sat her down in her highchair. She started teething a few days ago but Haru already knew a week before due to her gums being bumpy, he felt it one night when he was nursing her, he noticed how her gums were not as smooth, he checked and saw white marks inside her gums, he immediately knew she was going to start teething soon. RIP his nipples.
He looked down at his watch and an idea popped up, he faced his daughter and smiled “How do you feel if we pay your daddy a visit at work, pumpkin?” She looked at him with big curious eyes recognizing the word “daddy”, she squealed and began banging her hands on the tray. “I’ll take that as a yes” Haru grabbed his apporn and began making him and his husband lunch while Amaya was distracted chewing on her teething toy. Here and there he would hear her talking to herself, babbling nonsense.
Once he was done packing their lunch in bentos boxes, he looked down at his watch ‘2 hours until his break’ he looked over at Amaya feeding schedule “And in 2 hours is your next feeding, perfect”. He picked her up from her bassinet where she was taking a small little nap and placed her stroller/car seat, all buckled up he grabbed a sheer blanket and placed it over the stroller covering her from the public eye. He reached for the diaper bag, put in on and began his walk towards the TMPD.

After a 30 minute walk they finally arrived at the entrance of the TMPD, he walked towards the receptionist desk and showed her his permit, she smiled and asked if she could see her. Haru being the nice person accepted and lifted up the blanket, the receptionist awed and began asking questions. Like 'Did it hurt pushing her out’ or ‘how was postpartum’, understandable it's not everyday you get to see the Kambe heir daughter. Apparently seeing Haru in the office after half a year of not seeing him attracted attention and now everyone was asking question and if they could see her, luckily Hoshino caught whiff of the gossip of Haru Kato making an appearance and went over to help Haru get out of that mess, it wasn't that hard trying to find him considering there was a baby crying.
“Shshsh muffin everything it okay” Haru was rubbing his thumb on her chubby cheek trying to soothe her. “Once again thank you Hoshino, it was kinda getting overwhelming” Hoshino nodded “Are you here to visit Kambe”. Haru stood up straight and nodded “yeah, i overslept and didn't have time to prepare his lunch”
“Kato are you ready to come back?”
Haru sighed and looked up towards the ceiling, “Honestly I am. Amaya is almost six months old, I think she’s old enough to not rely on both her parents being there for her 24/7. Of course it's going to be difficult for us, considering when Daisuke went back to work and she realised her daddy wasn't in her life 24/7, she cried and screamed for hours and it lasted almost a week. But me and Daisuke talked about this and we are both ready to take this step” Hoshino hummed and with that their conversion changed as they made their way towards modern crimes.
When they reached the door, Hoshino excused himself saying something about getting back to work, Haru looked down at Amaya and put his finger to lips “Lets surprise your daddy” she gave him an open smile, showing off her gums. Haru slowly opened the door, Kamei and Kiyomizu were the first one to notice Haru coming in but he immediately put a finger to his lips. He parked Amaya stroller and tip-toed towards Daisuke's desk. When he reached Daisuke's desk he took off his glasses and placed his hand over his eyes, he could feel Daisuke tensed up.
Daisuke touched the hand and felt a familiar ring and relaxed, “Guess who it is~” Daisuke smiled and decided to play along “Mmm I wonder who would own such an angelic voice and luxurious ring?” Haru giggled and kissed the top of his head, “It's me silly, your husband”. Daisuke grabbed his hands into his and turned around, “it is you, the love of my life” Daisuke kissed his hand. Kamei groaned in the background, “Stop this sappy shit, let me see my niece, I haven't seen her in forever” Haru was about to speak up but stop when he heard a familiar cooing, he faced the direction and saw Saeki already carrying Amaya and babbling back at her. “I guess Saeki beat you to it”
While everyone was distracted with Amaya, Haru took that opportunity and took a seat on Daisuke's lap, wrapping one of his arms around Daisuke's neck. Daisuke secured Haru by wrapping an arm around his waist, “What brings you here my love” he began moving his chair side to side “I came to drop off some lunch and spend lunch with you” Daisuke smiled and kissed him on the lips, they enjoyed each other embrace as they watch their friends spoil Amaya with love and attention.
Sadly their “alone time” was cut short when Amaya fussing in Kamei arms, she was either tired or hungry. It was almost time for her next feeding but they had a schedule to follow, Kamei passed her towards Haru. Haru gladly accepted a fussy Amaya and passed her towards her daddy so they can bound and he can soothe her to sleep.
“She’s chubby but small” Saeki rested her chin on the palm of her hands, “Her legs, arms, and cheeks are so full but she is so itty bitty” Haru smiled and ran his hand through the mop of blank hair. The older she got the more she looked a lot like Daisuke, her eye color is still a bright blue but Florence informed that her eye will change overtime, to give it a few more months. “What are you guys feeding her?” Before Haru could answer, Daisuke answered “Haru’s milk”. The office was dead silent after Daisuke galdy informed/specified them what they were feeding Amaya, Haru's face was a nice crimson red.
“Dais-!”
Kamei burst out laughing interpreting Haru, “I'm sorry! But how can you casually say that with a blank expression” Daisuke shrugged and got up walking over towards the couch, to sit in a more comfortable position for him and Amaya who was sleeping soundly on his chest “It's the truth”
“Daisuke!”
Who knew it was possible for Haru's face to get more redder and warmer in embarrassment.

It was around lunch time when everyone in the office decided to give the new parents some alone time and go out to eat for lunch. Daisuke and Haru were alone in the office getting ready to enjoy their lunch together, Haru placed Amaya on the car seat so he could keep an eye on her while they ate their lunch. They happily eat their lunch together, talking about what Daisuke was doing before they came to visit, when something caught Haru’s attention. Daisuke caught the sudden change and looked towards the direction his husband was looking at, he was greeted with the sight of their daughter moving her arm and legs around and a fist in her mouth.
“Haru, I think she’s hungry” Haru rolled his eyes and placed his bento on the table, “You think I don't know that” he got up and walked towards her, picking her up, and walking back towards the couch. He laid her on his knees while he lifted up his shirt and unclasped his nursing bra, he positioned her in front of his nipple but paused, it seemed like he was looking for something.
“Daisuke can you pass me the blanket over there” he pointed towards the blanket in her car seat, “So I can cover myself”. Daisuke nodded, deciding not to question his husband why he wanted to cover himself when it was only them in the room. He handed him the blanket and Haru smiled, dropping the blanket over his shoulder covering Amaya and his exposed nipple. She was really good at latching on herself. All Haru had to do was make sure the nipple was near her mouth. Soon the room was filled with grunting noises, Daisuke slightly lifted up the blanket and peek inside “She’s a loud eater”.
Haru chuckled, “She sure is. She is also very aggressive, wonder where she got that from?” Daisuke looked up and placed a kiss over Haru’s grin, deprived from his lover's touch Haru deepened the kiss, bringing his unoccupied hand and placing it on Daisuke’s cheek. Aware of their daughter currently eating they both were careful to not disturb her while they made out. Daisuke was the first to pull away and began attacking Haru neck leaving small love bites all over his neck, Haru moaned and arch his back when Daisuke bit a sweet spot, he was grateful their daughter was covered and wasn't able to see her parents making out.
Daisuke pulled away, admiring all HIS marks surrounding his lover's neck. He caress Haru’s cheek,
“I miss these moments together” Haru leaned into the touch.
“I do too” he placed his hand over Daisuke’s, tears forming in his eyes. “I miss us”.
Daisuke placed a tender kiss on his lips, it lasted for a few seconds. He leaned his forehead against Haru’s “No matter how busy I get in the near future, I will always have time for both of you, especially you. My little insure, sensitive husband” Haru chuckled on the verge of breaking down. “There will always be an US no matter what happens, I will always love you baby” Haru buried his head against Daisuke neck,
“I love you so much Daisuke”
Daisuke smiled and hugged his lover, “I love you too, my love”
Their moment was cut short when Haru felt someone bit his nipple, he pulled away from the hug and looked inside the blanket to see Amaya looking up at him. He chuckled “What wrong muffin? You want mama and daddy’s attention” She didn't do anything but continued suckling.
“Seems you were right. She wanted her parents' attention” Haru laughed and leaned his head against Daisuke’s shoulder. They enjoyed each other's presence as they watched their daughter eat while their food was forgotten. Unconsciously Daisuke would rub the ring on his lover's left ring finger, the one that sealed their future and love together. Sometimes he would glance at his ring finger and see his side of the deal.
