Overflow 2: A Gojo & Geto Tale

Chapter 11: Another Gojo

POV Geto

We are all sitting around the fire pit after our long day of fun in the sun. Everyone's cheeks are sun kissed along with horrible tan lines.

"So that's how your uncle Gojo lost to me 1 on 1 in basketball." Utahime claps her hands smiling.

"I definitely don't remember any of that..." Satoru rolls his eyes smiling at the flames.

He is absentmindedly biting his nails, a bad habit he has when he's stressed out.

"That's because you are a sore loser...loser." Utahime nudges him with her foot.

"We don't call people losers...honey..." Haibara nods at Peyton who is still awake and sitting on my lap.

"Oh right. Gojo, with enough practice you may be able to keep up with me. Now Peyton that's called constructive criticism." She sits back into Haibara's arms.

Peyton looks at me and tries not to laugh. Her dark eyes reflect the fire which she is full of just like her mom.

"This family is insane." Nanako grins sleepily while propping herself up on Megumi.

"Well yeah, you're part of it." He leans so she falls and lays on the ground.

Mimiko elbows Megumi. They are starting to pick fights from being tired.

"Well kids I think it's time to call it a night!" I motion with my hands for them to go to the house.

Mimiko, Nanako, and Peyton make their way around the circle giving everyone a hug while Megumi just does one wave for everyone and they all head in.

A calm silence settles over the four of us who are still out by the fire. We listen to the ocean waves lap against the shore, the owl in the nearby woods, and the flames hiss against the wood.

"What's on your mind Gojo? If you bite your nails anymore you won't have hands." Utahime sits resting her head on her knees watching Satoru carefully.

Satoru shakes his head and pulls his hands down into his lap. He looks over at me and I give him an encouraging nod.

"We have something to tell you guys..." Satoru's eyes shift from Haibara and Utahime.

"Ok!" Haibara sits up straighter, his eyes excited. Utahime's eyes are searching Satoru's. I am sure she can sense his uneasiness.

POV Gojo

I take a breath.

"We have decided to make an heir for the Gojo clan." I blurt out.

Crickets.

"Geto's pregnant?" Haibara tilts his head. Utahime swats his arm.

"Woah, wait, wait, wait. What the hell. You've never even mentioned anything EVER about an heir." Utahime scoots closer to Gojo.

"It's complicated..." I mumble.

"The higher-ups have recently stressed the fact that Satoru needs to make an heir for the Gojo clan. He's thought about it and it would be for the best to have one." Suguru chimes in to help me out.

"Why would you do what they want you to? Aren't you all about breaking their rules?" Utahime sounds annoyed.

"It's not like I haven't thought about it before...but now things have..." my voice dies off.
