It was already December 24.

Time had passed almost too quickly without anyone noticing it that much and right now, Fukiyose has gone a bit heavy, and to be truthful, it was hard to get around without any help. To be able to go out more and not be stared at, she had no choice but to slightly cut her hair in shoulder-length and she was more surprised since it was Komoe the one to suggest this, considering she was the one who suggested that she still looked pretty like before. Himegami helped her keep it nice and untangled and she became Fukiyose's unofficial hairdresser. She also walked daily with the cat Sphynx and Index after she had done her online assignments. Women from the streets smiled kindly and some even stopped to greet her and give her some tips on how to handle her present condition. She was glad it had been mostly elder women in this city of students, because otherwise, her young age and youthful features might cause other people to judge her so quickly.

As she cooked in the kitchen, she thought about many things like her grandparents, school, his baby and yes, Kamijou Touma. She had not heard talking that much since the yesterday but she had received a call from what seemed to be his mother, whom she met a few months ago. She sat in a bench and drank some water while Sphynx ran around in circles around the bench and rested and asked for water and such. The spiky haired boy cannot join him as he was a bit tired from preparing for the incoming Christmas season.

"Hello?" She answered as there was a small hitch on the other line.

"Hello, but is this... Touma-san?"

"No but this is Fukiyose-san. Is this his mother?" The Forehead Deluxe asked as she felt the voice seemed familiar.

"Ah, Seiri-chan. This is Touma-san's mother. Is he sleeping? I'm sorry if he hadn't spoken to you that much but I had him do some stuff for the Christmas. I'm sorry if this is too much but, is it possible for us to meet later in the afternoon? I don't want to disturb my son." Fuklyose's eyes were wide but she agreed, noting down the time and place. She was silent the rest of the day, and no one seemed to notice anything.

It wasn't too long after the call that she met her in an ice cream shop. Fukiyose stood and bowed, the woman bowed back and sat down, as if inspecting her.

"Seiri-cha, you still looked pretty with your shoulder-length hair but you look more of a model with your longer one. And it's December now which meant that you might be nearing to give birth." Kamijou Shiina began, her gaze fell to the floor while she tried to wipe of tears from her eyes.

"Yes, I am aware of that, auntie." Fukiyose looked back at Shiina. "And I'll take your words for a compliment."

"You look rather a perfect fit for my son." She smiled fondly. "You don't mind if you're going to take care of him for the rest of your lives? My dear son is sometimes really hopeless with love."

"Yes. We are slowly opening up with one another. Fukiyose nodded as she had an idea on where this conversation is going.

"I can't ask for forgiveness for what Touma-san did, but please, if anything..."

"He didn't do anything wrong, Auntie. The blame solely lies on me. If anything, I should be thankful for him that he's been at my side. Fukiyose looked away as she didn't want to let her future mother-in-law see her cry. "What do you plan now, auntie?"

"Nothing much. We just plan to celebrate Christmas at your apartment. Shiina smiled as she places her palm at the hands of the girl. "And when high school is done, you two can talk about marriage or just continuing to study for college. Either way, we will support your decision.

"Actually...we had already talked about that part..." Fukiyose replied, to the surprise of the mother. "We planned to continue college and we don't mind if we actually continue our studies outside of Academy City as long as we can give a bright future with Tetsuya. Life is a bit hard now and Touma recognized that from the start."

"I see..." Shiina nodded as she was a bit surprised at the sudden decision of her son. "Then I guess it would be safe to leave your future plans to you and my son as couple. Had she mentioned to you what he would take after college."

"Actually..." Fukiyose was hesitating to reply that question since he actually gave mind-boggling options. "One, he said he would like to be a chef and he also said that if he fails, he would just become a policeman. I don't know if you're aware Auntie but he likes helping other people so the latter one isn't a bit surprising. He mentioned other things but he would like those to be kept secret for now."

"I see and you?"

"Uhm...I have told this a lot of times to him but I see myself becoming a nurse..." Fukiyose admitted.

"Well, you'll look good as a nurse. I still have a lot of things to say but I think I'll save them for the future references. Seiri-chan, would you like to go and shop with me?" Shiina Invited her. "I'm planning to have pot roast or oven roasted Turkey for dinner later in Christmas Eve. What would you like to have?"

"Anything would be fine for me and I'm sure it's the same for him." Fukiyose sighed as she stands up to join Shiina. "But I believe we should but triple than what would be enough."

"And why is that, Seiri-chan?"

"That's because..." The image of Index and Misaka conjured into the mind of the teen. "We have likely guests whose appetites are a bit insane by normal standards."

"Ah, I think you meant Misaka-san and that nun, right?"

Fukiyose groaned. "It's the nun but yeah, Auntie..."

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

Kamijou Touma sighed as he sat in the table while he watched his own mother and his cousin Tatsugami Otohime put down both the pot roast and the turkey in the table. How did it turned out like this anyway? He thought to himself as he watched his father arrange the Christmas tree while Komoe was busy putting decorating some Christmas lights into the doors and windows of the apartment. On the other side, Index was already sitting in the table together with the boy as unexpectedly (or rather, expectedly), Misaka and Accelerator is also in the residence as the former was bringing what looked like a gift wrapped in a plain brown paper. If one is to squint properly, one can see Othinus already hiding somewhere in the branches of the Christmas Tree, simply waiting for everyone else to put the Christmas Star on top of the tree. She can hardly fool Tourna, who can
see her from the table but even Touya can't distinguish her from an ordinary doll from a toy store as he was putting some present under the tree. Sphynx was already under the table, also waiting for the food to arrive.

If there's any surprises to the unexpected reunion, It's actually the arrival of both Kamijou and Fukiyose's grandparents. Well, the latter was informed of the arrival of her kin but it was the former that completely took the boy by surprise.

If anyone was wondering how this whole set up happened, let's rewind back to about five hours ago.

The spiky haired boy could safely blame this whole ordeal to his own misfortune as he watched both Shiina and Fukiyose come back from shopping along with his grandparents in Kamijou Tsuki and Toyohama Saki, the parents of Touya and Natsume Kel and Shigehiro Nodoka, the parents of Shiina. Due to a certain incident, Touma was only able to identify them as his own grandparents due to the fact that they look too old and that they look too close to his parents.

He then learned that when his grandparents learned of his upcoming baby, they were furious at first since they thought that he's too young to handle the responsibilities of a parent but as time passed, it all changed as they realized that he had overcome all the hardships that came on the way as their tune had totally changed.

As for Misaka and Accelerator, Kamijou correctly deduced that the Railgun saw Fukiyose and her mother shopping for Christmas and decided to come here unannounced rather than to go to the party that Shiral had made for the four of them. As for Accelerator, he was simply nagged once again by Last Order so he decided to bring some nice gift as well before he gets hotheaded.

This won't be a peaceful Christmas at all. Kamijou sighed as he watched the two Level 5's argue with one another while the old people in the room was simply staring at the two with blank expressions. "Tsuki-kun, who made the invitations?" Saki asked her husband.

"Uhm...you should know that it was your grandson who made it...probably.." Tsuki himself didn't know.

After a few chinks that were fixed and some hassles, the party finally began to commence as Kamijou Touma and Fukiyose Seiri are already seated side-by-side on the long table while the rest sat on the sides. Their parents and grandparents sat directly in front of them as the others sat beside the couple.

"Touma! Touma! Can we eat now?!" A ravenous Index was already salivating to eat but she was held back.

"Not until Komoe-sensei had given the blessing." Kamijou replied. "And where's Himegarni by the way? She's supposed to be here by now."

'She'll come late. She needed to pick up something." Fukiyose replied.

After a few seconds, Komoe came back to the dining room, bringing a Christmas cake with a fountain candle. "Okay, people! It would be an hour exactly before the clock strikes twelve so I wanted to take this moment to have a celebration with you all!" She then looked at the two young couple. "Kamijou-chan, Fukiyose-chan, with everything that has happened for the past couple of months, this should be a day where you be happy, right? It's Just a regret that Accelerator-chan just left before he can eat with us but at least, he gave you two a gift."

"Y-Yeah..." The boy replied as he suddenly felt awkward that everyone is already staring at him.

"Then let's eat!" Tatsugami can't help but let her hunger take over her reasoning as Komoe then lit the candle first to start their celebration before they can eat. And once dinner had begun, the food began to disintegrate quickly as Index was quick to fill up her tummy before the old people can even begin to get their share. Thankfully, Komoe was able to held back the nun as the others was able to begin filling up their plates, albeit quickly, as Misaka strangely didn't open made any scathing remarks nor did she even think of insulting the boy, although she did smack the gift she brought in his head.

After dinner, everyone is finally gathered under the Christmas tree as they all decided it was already time to give gifts to each other. They were supposed to be in a celebratory move when suddenly, Tatsugami sensed something different as she looks at Fukiyose, who seemed to be strangely quiet, save for a few moans that she actually tried to conceal away.

"Seiri-nee-chan, what's wrong? You seemed to be in pain." The dark-haired cousin of Kamijou voiced out her concerns. All of the sudden, everyone stopped being cheery as they all turned their gazes towards the pregnant teen, who was suddenly taken aback by the stares she is receiving.

"Well...the truth is..." Fukiyose tried to speak up but she was stopped by another pain, which is already getting far too obvious for her choice as she then held her chest. Kaimijou saw this and his eyes widens like saucers before he then plows into the crowded space to come to the aid of the girl.

"Fukiyose, are you feeling alright?" He asked as he takes a chair so that she can seat. "To be honest, I have noticed those movements of yours. Are you-" He tried to confirm one thing but he didn't need to as the next turn of events quickly gave him the answer.

She screamed in pain as she was sweating as everyone in the room were all frozen in their spots, not even caring for the gifts that was lying idly under the tree.

"Ka-Kamijou! The baby! He's coming out! She gasped as she was now on the last stages of her pregnancy.

She was undergoing labor and it was stinging her right now.

Quickly acting like an auto-pilot mode, Kamijou quickly scooped the girl in pain and quickly shouted, "Everyone! Get out of the way! I'm taking her to the hospital!" He ordered as he carries Fukiyose like a bride.

"Kamijou-chan! Wait up! Bring her inside the car! We'll go to that doctor!" Komoe had to calm everyone down as she finds her car keys.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

"Geez, can you stop walking back-and-forth? It's-"

"Shhh. Misaka-san, let Touma-san be. That's how my husband was when I gave birth to him."

"Okay, fine but..."

"Geez, Short Hair, can you just be happy that he's going to be a father?"

"And shut it, Silver Sisterl

The two beings in Misaka Mikoto and Index Librorum Prohibitorum were busy arguing again as everyone from the families of Kamijou and Fukiyose were all waiting outside anxiously. Earlier, the Railgun had to beg Shirai, who was infuriated that she didn't attend their party, to hold off their dorm manager again as she quickly claimed that she was more needed here in the hospital. Although by the looks of it, it seemed that her being here is more of a moral support than an actual assistance. Komoe and Yomikawa, who picked up the news of Fukiyose's delivery and quickly rushed here to the hospital, were with them and were also supporting Kamijou with courageous words although they weren't sure of he even heard them. Just near them, Tsuchimikado (who heard of it as well), Aogami, and Himegami, who came late to their celebration but arrived just in time to see Kamijou carrying her best friend, were freaking out and a nurse had to calm down their anxiety,

Soon others had come.

Surprisingly, Hamazura carne with presents both for the baby and Othinus was wishing that she can even see the boy for herself.

"Misaka-san, you should go home by now." Tsuki suddenly went to speak with the Railgun, "I know you wanted to help here but this is family business from now. We're also worried that..."

"Oh don't worry about that. Besides, considering that it's your grandson that we're talking about, I think I can leave right now. Well, at least, until the baby is born." Misaka then checks on the walking boy and she was a bit surprised that despite walking a bit tense, he hadn't even shown that he's about to freaked out. "And I don't know what's running in his mind..."

"I see that you're a good friend. Keep it like that, Tsuki smiled as he watches his grandson, "I won't say anything anymore. If you want to say here, then it's your choice." He then walked away to rejoin the other old people.

As the others were busy in their conversation, someone came out.

"Kamijou Touma." Everyone turned to see Dr. Heaven Canceller standing at the door while smiling. "The delivery is a success. You may come in now but only you. As a safety procedure, the others will have to wait here."

Not even hearing the protest of some of those present, Kamijou ran inside the room and from there, he saw Fukiyose in bed, now recovering steadily. The whole procedure it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be although it had taken some time though, roughly two hours or so. The spiky haired boy then heard their baby cry and as someone who's so excited to see their child, he ran with tears of joy in his eyes.

"Your baby is here, my dear patient!" Dr. Heaven Canceller smiled widely. Kamijou was seated by Fukiyose and was wide-eyed as the doctor passed the wrapped blue bundle over to the crying Fukiyose. Kamijou smiled softly at the small baby on her arms, his eyes closed. Quickly shedding of her tears, Fukiyose smiled rather dumbly from excitement.

The baby was pretty average weight and height as his hair was pure black with short, spiky ends just like those of the boy although his skin tone matched that of Fukiyose's. Very slowly, he opened his right eye, showing that he Inherited that boy's dark blue eyes.

"Looks like he had my hair and eyes." Kamijou said with a crooked smile, grabbing his small hand. The baby gripped his finger tightly and giggled, closing his eye and yawning, then barely opening both eyes. Kamijou and Fukiyose stared in surprise before the baby closed his eyes again.

"Ka-Kamijou.." The baby snuggled towards Fukiyose and Kamijou stared at her.

"He has your eye?" Kamijou laughed a little, "Who would've thought that our child would be born with dual-colored eyes? How strange. This must be some sort of.."

"Ah about that, it's not much of a problem. That's just a rare condition called Central Heterochromia and unless it's caused by something such as injuries or eye inflammation, there's nothing to be worried about." The doctor allayed their fears. "Your baby is nice and healthy and very unique if I may add." Heaven Canceller smiled towards Fukiyose and Kamijou.

"Ah, we see. Thank you so much, doc!"

"Very unique indeed, you had decided on a name, right Kamijou-san?"

"Ah yes, I have. It's-

"Hey! Let us in!" Everyone in the operating room suddenly heard Misaka scream from outside.

"Tourma! Let us in! I want to see baby Tetsuya!"

"Touma-san, please let us in now!"

"Dammit, Kami-yan, let us in now!"

Sighing, the doctor decided to pull the door now and from there, the large crowd already squeezed through the small door as they all wanted to see what they have been waiting for.

"Oh my! He's so adorable!" Shiina squealed as she wanted to take the baby in her arms. "Tet-chan is so cute!"

"At last, when I say we can die when we saw out great-grandchild, I'm speaking for the whole group!" Saki teared up as everyone of the older generation was delighted to see their great-grandchild sleeping peacefully.

"Besides, this looked like it's an early Christmas gift for the two of you. Look." Misaka showed Kamijou the time. "It's three in the morning and its December 25."

"That's some sort of blessing for you, Kami-yan!"

Shut up, Tsuchimikado! You're going to jinx it with my right hand! Kamijou hissed as he wanted to strangle the blonde right now before he saw Komoe looking at their son.

"Is there something wrong, Komoe-sensei?"

"No, nothing. He's just so adorable. That's want Komoe-sensei wants to say. Yomikawa laughed as Komoe's eyes were practically diamonds.

"By the way, just so everyone knows, Tetsuya had-heterochromatic eyes. He got both of our eye color." The boy explained.

"WHAAAATI HE'S HETEROCHROMATIC?!"

"I's not serious though..."

As everyone was busy celebrating the birth of Kamijou Tetsuya, one man was busy watching them from afar as he purposely kept his distance.

"Hnnn. You're a father now, Kamijou Touma? Best of luck then."

Before leaving, Stiyl Magnus left a bouquet of flowers in the door and after doing that, he had disappeared without a trace.
