Notes: If I give some people the 'creeps' because of the originality story/weird actions between Lum and Ataru then that is my goal. I wanted to write a very unique story between the two of them. I know Ataru and Lum's Attitude as well. I own all the Original DVDS/OAVS and MOVIES of URUSEI YATSURA. But I wanted to make a difference. I am a writer so I will write it, so if you do not like this kind of story, just stop reading. But I will continue with my idea so thank you if you will continue to read it.

Note: This fanfic was late because I am so busy with my real life and business.. I hope you understand.. thanks...

Baby... Our Baby
Chapter 14: Leo's attack
A Urusei Yatsura fanfic

When Lum came back at the hotel, she called Mayuka because no one greets her home. She frowned and put the bag and her keys on the table. "Hey.. I am here..." she said, as she walked towards Mayuka's room, before she could enter her daughter's room, she heard some quiet murmurs from her room. So she paused at the partially open doorway leading into her room and saw Mayuka seated at her desk while a laptop was open. Ataru was kneeling beside her, patiently explaining the buttons of the laptop to their daughter. Something about seeing them, it touched and warned her heart. She stood there quietly for a moment.

"So if you press this 'Enter' it automatically go to the other line, and after you are done you can press this button here and it saves everything." he said, smiling.

"Like this?" Mayuka asked as she entered the button and giggled. "I did it!"

"Good job princess!" he ruffled her hair affectionately. "Now try to save your work." he said, Mayuka is a bright kid and even she is sick she could remember everything that he has taught. "Nice work!" he smiled, and then kissed his daughter's forehead.

"This is cool! You are a great teacher dad" she announced with a grin and looked at him adoringly.

Ataru's heart melt, ever since last night that he found out that Mayuka knew he was her father; whenever Mayuka calls him 'Dad' it gives him a warmth that he cannot explain. "Okay now let's continue-"

"Mommy!" Mayuka gasped seeing her mom standing at the door; she came down from the chair and run to hug her. "Daddy is just teaching me how to use the computer."

Lum smiled, "I can see that, who owns that laptop anyway?" she asked, now walking towards Ataru.

"Its mine, I had it delivered earlier... I was thinking... even I am not in Tomobiki, I can still work." he said, shutting down the computer. "Are you hungry?" he asked, smiling. "There's a soup at the fridge but I can warm it up for you" he said, as he stood up.

Lum smiled, "You know what Ataru?" she asked, now standing in front of Ataru while their daughter was standing in between them looking up. "You are my hero."

"I bought a cake too..." Ataru smirked.

"... and my prince." Lum giggled.

"... and some fresh fruits..." Ataru flirted.

"... you're my god."

Mayuka giggled.

"Mommy! can I watch TV?" Mayuka asked, looking at Lum who was eating her cake.

"Sure dear," Lum said, smiling.

Ataru stuffed another grape in his mouth and looked at her, aware she wasn't in her usual self. "dosta?" he asked, there was something shadowing those beautiful eyes of hers.

"Leo came to the studio..."

He frowned, "What does he want?"

"My wedding will be next month. He told me that we will fly to Oni three days to prepare for the official engagement" Lum said, sighing. "I...told him that I needed to talk to you before I will make a choice... and he got mad." she lifted her gaze to his, held it in spite of the fact that by just looking at him... she knew that she longed for him and she didn't want to marry Leo... well..not anymore.

"So when are you going to go to Oni?" Ataru asked.

Lum sighed, "Leo still didn't tell me when..."

"Lum..." he reached across the table and lifted her chin, "What do you really want?" he asked softly.

"I don't know.." she looked down, "I really don't know anymore..." she shook her head. "Maybe... just maybe.. I don't want to get married right now." she added with a shaky laugh. "Not to Leo.. Not to you."

"I understand..." he said carefully.

"No you don't understand Ataru." she said quietly, forcing herself to look at him. "For some odd reason, there's something about you that... I don't know how to explain it. I knew that I have loved you before but now I don't." she said, Ataru frowned. "But whenever you're near me.. it seems that I lose all common sense and reason... and I just had to get a grip. We both know we are together right now because of Mayuka-"

Delighted, at least we're together. He wanted to tell her but he just grinned while brushing a wayward strand of her hair off her cheek. "Like I said I understand."

His words only seemed to further alarmed her. "We are together because of Mayuka. Sooner or later you have to leave us. I.. can't afford another heartbreak. I am a mother now. I don't fling or cling to someone who doesn't love me. I've become matured." she looked away. "I was a wreck when I left you, and I don't want to experience that anymore."

"Lum-"

"I don't want to risk anything anymore, Do you really understand?"

He does understand her, he understand her fear. He practically wounded her heart.. no he really did wounded her heart in the past. He treated her badly and now finally that he was able to admit his feelings, she didn't want him anymore. "Lum.. if it makes you calm.." he paused and frowned. He took a deep breath and force to say the words. "I'll just be your friend... and I am not going to confuse you anymore." he stroke a finger down her cheek, wanting to soothe, to erase some of that fear that he built on her.

"Yes.. friendship..." Lum said, It was a lie-she knew it but then again she reminded herself that she doesn't want to feel what she felt before.

"Friendship..." Ataru said, sighing. He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed her, resisting the urge to pull her to her feet and dragged him to her for a real kiss, that kind of kiss that would curl her toes and singe her heart. But she was pregnant and she needed to calm down. For now... he thought himself before he ended the kiss on her head. We will just be friends for now.

Lum blushed, "Since I am pregnant already with twins... I guess our bed game is finished huh?" she said, smiling.

Ataru clenched his fist. "Yes. Lum. You made that clear. It's over."

And so that night, they didn't share a bed.

"Dad, when the plumbing is broken... mom always calls the management to fix it" she said, while looking at her father lying on his back, with his head stuck in the cabinet under the sink, muttering and cursing about pipes under his breath. "Dad?"

"Do not worry princess, I can take care of this." he said, "But you better go and watch TV because I do not want you to hear some words that I am using. I am perfectly sure that your mom will never approve of it."

"But I am bored, there's nothing interesting on TV... can I help dad?" she asked.

Ataru thought for a moment and shrugged, why not? after all she will just be handling some tools. "Okay princess, do you see a tool box somewhere?"

She glanced around and saw it, "Yes dad."

"Can you grab me the big wrench?"

Mayuka blinked, "I don't know... what is that?"

"Its the real big, silver and funny shaped and has a black handle.. can you see it?"

"Yes.."

"Now can you carry it to me here? Use both of your hands because it's heavy." he said, using both of her hands, Mayuka bit her lip in concentration as she lifted the heavy tool and gave it to her father. "Good girl." he said, pulling his hand back under the cabinet to continue. He swore when his elbow hit the pipe really hard.

"You said a bad word!" Mayuka said, covering her mouth with a hand to hide a giggle.

Ataru lifted his head and winked at her, "Yes I know, but let's not tell your mom you heard that from me ok? I really don't want to get into trouble with your mom today."

She giggled again, the idea of a big person being in trouble was too funny to resist for Mayuka, "Yes, dad I won't tell mommy."

"Okay now put back this wrench to the tool box" Ataru said, handling the wrench to his daughter when all of the sudden they heard a gasp.

"Ataru Moroboshi! Mayuka Invader!" Lum yelled at them.

Ataru lifted up his head, "What?"

"Why are you making our daughter work?" Lum growled. "Mayuka, go to your room."

"But Mom.. I am helping dad-"

"GO!" she yelled, and Mayuka run towards her room while pouting.

Ataru took a deep breath, "What wrong?"

Lum ground her teeth together and let her eye slide closed for a moment. "How dare you make our daughter work! You know that she is sick!"

Ataru stood up and frowned at her, "Carrying a wrench isn't tiring-"

"Ataru! Our daughter is still under observation. She has a weak body and you made her carry that heavy wrench?" she growled.

"Listen Lum. I believe that one of the best cures for a weak body is to be strong, and I thought about it before I made her do that. I want her to be strong that is why I ask her help."

"Ataru-"

"Listen, I am not going to hurt Mayuka. She is my daughter." he sighed, "You have to trust me-"

"Sometimes, I don't think I can trust you." Lum growled and went out of the kitchen

"Shit!" Ataru growled, "Lum!" he followed her.

Lum growled. She is frustrated as hell because she didn't sleep last night; why? she missed Ataru lying beside her. Then add the morning sickness and the moodiness. Oh not to mention her feelings flared up when she saw her daughter holding that heavy wrench.

"Lum."

"Get out of my room, Ataru." she growled. How careless is he? Why did he let Mayuka carry that thing? Why did he permitted it? She gasped when Ataru grabbed her shoulder and force her to turn to him. "Let me go!"

"Lum you gotta listen to me."

Lum glared at him.

"I will not let Mayuka get hurt. She is my precious daughter. The reason why I did that because I want her to feel that she is useful and that she is strong."

"But-"

"Don't talk. I am not yet finish." Ataru glared at her, squeezing both of her shoulders. "Our daughter is sick but she needs to be strong, she needs to believe in herself. She needs to feel that she is useful. She needs to have a strong body resistance, that is why I made her do that."

"You don't get it do you?" Lum growled. "Of course you don't! You were not here before, you didn't deal with this sickness yet!"

"Lum! Calm down!" Ataru growled, "This is not good for the babies."

"I can't believe you made her do that-" she stopped when Ataru silenced her with his lips.

Ataru couldn't resist it, and he wanted her to calm down. He felt her resist at first but after a few seconds she started responding. His hands slid to her waist and he drew her close, savoring the taste and feel of her. He drew her closer again, taking the kiss deeper until she moaned softly, lifting her arms to his neck and swaying against him.

The world lifted up, that's what Lum felt when Ataru's warmth seemed to seep into her, moaning softly she swayed against him until she could feel his masculine hardness pressed firmly against her softness, making her ache and yearn for him.

Ataru realized that he was loosing himself in her sweet taste, her arms, He truly longed for her. He found the hunger for her growing more and more, leaping into his heart, mind, and soul until he felt as if he would go mad at longing for her only. Lum... was everything he'd ever wanted, needed and desired. He may have denied it in the past but he knew even before he truly loves her.

When Ataru's tongue snaked out and touched hers, she sighed. Moaning more softly, she tightened her arms around him and clings unto him. While she feared that her legs would buckle if she didn't cling to him. If only.. If only he didn't hurt her... She opened her eyes and reluctantly pushes him away, but still clinging to the front of his t-shirt until she was certain that her legs were steady enough to hold her. Her body was vibrating with need. "I'm sor-"

"No please." Ataru pressed a finger to her lips, which were still red and a bit swollen from his. "Don't say sorry please."

The look in his eyes, the tone of his voice, caused her to swallow her words. In all honesty, she wasn't sorry at all. She didn't regret the kiss actually she wanted more. She wanted to sleep next to him tonight. "Okay... I am not sorry..." her voice was shakier than before.

Ataru nodded and smiled, "Good. Because I am not sorry at all.. Lum." he looked at her, his eyes darkening. "In fact, I want to close the door right now and let's finish this on your bed." he said, touching her cheek.

Lum bit her lip, ".. so help me to unzip the back of my dress..."

Leo put a million on black and just stared at the wheel went round. He sighed when he found out that he had won. Oh if only relationships are like this, he could hear the cheers and turned to the lady on his right and accepted the kiss on his lips. He kissed her back, could taste her champagne on his sober tongue, and for a moment he pulled her in, wanted to remember her smell, her body just to cure this emptiness he was feeling. He tried to grab her and sucked her mouth but there was nothing there. No thrill. Just emptiness. And for sure this damn lady couldn't even cure his sadness. He was hundred million richer and yet he couldn't even get excited by this beautiful woman he was holding in his arms.

"Excuse for moment."

He walked to the restroom and remove his wig and his contact lenses. He stared at his reflection in the mirror and remembered Lum...

"I am pregnant."

He needed to see her. Even a disguise to have fun wasn't fun at all. He wanted to see her. He turned left instead of right and instead of his car, he took a cab and told the cab to go to the hotel.

Using his own key, he opened the door and saw Mayuka watching TV. He asked her where is her mother; and Mayuka said she was inside the room. Realizing that it was locked, he just went to the kitchen and poured himself a coffee.

"Uncle Leo?" Mayuka walked towards him.

Leo glared at her, "What is it?" he growled. He just remembered she was the reason why Lum had to do this plan. Before he truly love this kid, but not anymore.

"How are you?" she asked softly.

"Are you seriously asking me that question?" Leo asked, sipping his coffee.

"Yes..." Mayuka said, but she already had a feeling that Leo hate her now.

"Right now my life is a living hell." he smirked at her, "You know why?" he asked, leaning towards her. "Because of you."

Mayuka begun to tremble, "What did I do?" she gasped when Leo grabbed her arm. "It hurts! Uncle Leo!"

"Because you are USELESS! You are DYING! and yet your Mom is still doing her very best to make you alive!" he squeezed her shoulder, making Mayuka cry. "Oh one more thing.. you are a LIAR"

"Uncle..."

"You told me that you want me to be your dad! But the truth is that, you wanted your real father by your side! That is why you planned all of this didn't you?" he yelled.

"Uncle! You're hurting me!"

"Why don't you just DIE!" Leo growled. "So that I will be very happy!" he yelled.

Mayuka cried louder and then she started shaking and couldn't breathe.

Lum awoke to the terrifying sound of Mayuka crying and someone yelling. "Ataru.. wake up." she shook him.

Ataru groaned, "What is it?"

"Someone's here and Mayuka is crying" she said, taking her robe and covering herself up in it.

"MOMMY!"

Ataru's eyes widen, as fast as he could he put his pajama on and run towards the place where Mayuka is. "L-Leo!" he gasped. For the first time, he was able to remember his name but his eyes were focused on Leo's big arm holding Mayuka.

Leo thought he felt his heart stop for moment, Ataru dashed to the kitchen half-naked and then his face paled when he saw Lum entering the room wearing only a robe. "What the hell-"

"Mayuka!" Lum run towards Mayuka, kneeled and grabbed her from Leo, and then she looked at Ataru, "We need to get her to the hospital!" she said, ignoring Leo.

"What's the meaning of this?" Leo growled looking at both Lum and Ataru.

"What did you do to my daughter?" Ataru growled at him, clenching his fist.

"Mom..my..." Mayuka said, her eyes closing.

"Stop it both of you! We need to put Mayuka to the hospital!" Lum cried. "Please! This is no time for fighting! We need to get Mayuka to the hospital!"

Ataru reluctantly left them and started to dial 119. Leo just stared at Lum and Mayuka.

"Mom..my..." she said, and then her eyes closed.

Lum trembled, "No.. No.. Mayuka! don't close your eyes! MAYUKA!" Lum cried.

Author's note: I don't know what to name... their Baby.. so I used G.A.M's character "Mayuka" :D
