Secrets

Ryo called Dee after the ballet but got the answering machine. So he tried calling Dee's cell hoping he'd pick up, when someone unexpectedly picked up.
"Hello?"
"Where's Dee?"
"Not to worry Ryo, Dee's fine he's resting he wanted to come over here he felt just a little uncomfortable being alone for some reason So I brought him over to Deelia and my place." Roy said.
"I'll be right over." Ryo said ending his call right there. He said goodbye to his Aunt Elena before getting in the car and driving to Roy's place, Ryo knocked at the front door of the apartment where Roy let him in.
"where is Dee?"
"He's sleeping peacefully thank goodness in the guest room." Deelia said.
"Yea, he looked kind of frazzled when i brought him here finally got him to go to sleep an hour ago."
"The guest room is just right down the hall first door on your left Ryo." Deelia said.
Ryo nodded as he headed down the hallway to the guest room, he walked in quietly Dee was laying peacefully on the twin bed. Ryo quietly got onto the bed he wanted to wake him up so he could take him home but he just couldn't get himself to do that. Ryo laid down beside him on the bed.
Dee stirred a little in his sleep he slowly opened his eyes to see a face. Dee just about screamed at that no help from that last nightmare he had, when he realized who it was. Dee wrapped his arms tightly around Ryo and rested his head on his shoulder as his eyes drifted off to sleep again.
***************
Dee awoke early in the morning to see Ryo still there. It hadn't been a dream Ryo was here with him. He began to think about that nightmare he had last night before coming here it sent shivers up his spine. He knew Ryo would ask what made him want to come here and what not, knowing Ryo he'd say something senseable about the situation to reasure him. It wasn't just the fact that it was Renard Henry a good part of it was the fact of all the chaos on this whole situation.
He also began to have seconds doubts about having children even though its a bit too late for that. Ryo is and always has been the parental figure, Dee on the other hand was definately not. Dee got up and left the bedroom and headed for the kitchen where the smell of bacon.
"Good morning Dee did you sleep well?" Deelia asked.
Dee nodded. "Dee!" Danny said jumping out of his chair to give him a hug. Dee sat down in a chair nest to Danny who was overly excited to have Dee with him. Deelia came over with a plate full of food and placed it in front of him. "You should eat, and something healthy other then ice cream all the time."
Dee gave a small frown this whole twin thing with her was something slightly terrifying in its own way. "Dee are you ok is something bothering you?" Deelia asked as she came back to the table.
Dee shook his head. "Dee Laytner, don't be playing these games with me I can easily tell something is bothering you what is it?"
Dee looked at her and then over at Danny who was just finishing up his breakfast and back to her. Danny hopped down off his chair and headed for the living room to watch some cartoons.
"Now what's wrong?" She asked again.
"I'm not ready for this."
"What do you mean Dee?"
"What if I am not a good parent? I don't know anything about raising kids, sure i helped Mother at the orphanage while I lived there at helping with the younger kids but not enough to make me a natural at this like Ryo is."
"Dee, Ryo is similar do you think he knew much about raising kids when we too Bikky in? Besides I know how you feel Dee I was like that for a while too, after the past I lead with Bruno how could I become a motherlike figure to Danny? But I learned to deal with it with help from Roy and my knowledge from the orphanage I grew up at. I can hadle it and so can you Dee, you'll be a fine parent."
Dee gave a weak smile to the compliment that he'd be a good parent at raising these kids, he wanted to protect them in everyway he could.
"I know you fear all this problems in the city about the gene thing we all do and what with the death of Dr. Read you fear there is little protection for you and the twins. But Dee remember your not the only one in this city that has the altered gene I have it too, along with Dr. Turner and many others. we'll get by we'll get through this together I believe if we all as a whole stand up to this we can conquer it."
Dee smiled that was all reasuring but was it possible? Even if everyone with the gene stood up to this would it actually stop? He doubted it.
Ryo came into the room right then. "Goodmorning, you alright Dee?"
Dee looked up at Ryo, "Yea I'm alright." he said with a smile.
Ryo bent down and kissed Dee on the forehead. "I'm glad your ok Dee. Where's Roy?"
"He went off for work some time ago. So what are your plans for today?"
Both Ryo and Dee shrugged. "Well tomorrow is the day of Dr. Read's funeral you are going right Dee?"
"Yes."
