It was a seemingly normal day today; I woke up early, and got ready for a great learning day at Shisbusen. I styled my hair in the usual twin pigtails, and walked into the kitchen, preparing food for my hungry stomach, and my uh… weapon…crush. I started to pull the bacon of the grill when I heard Soul's footsteps tap into the tiled kitchen. I didn't turn around, so he leaned and rested his chin on the crook of my neck, watching me cook pancakes. I flushed, and tried hard not so glance at him… I couldn't believe his lips were so close to mine. His wet hair from his shower was on my neck, and his warm breath was making me nearly melt. My mind was doing cartwheels, and my stomach was a trampoline. I came into focus when his warmth left my shoulder when he went to grab the milk, and said,

"Mornin' Maka" I watched as he walked over to our table, he was shirtless, and his sweatpants were pulled down, revealing his chest and his hipbones. I was trying hard not to drool when I walked over with our breakfast. We ate and chatted, saying that we hoped wasn't dissecting again. My mind started to go elsewhere, and I wondered if he liked me back. Who are you kidding? It's been a year since you turned him into a Death Sythe- if he had any interest he would have told you by now. My heart tried to ignore my reasoning, but my mood still darkened.

"Come on! We have to get to school!" I cheered; putting on a smile and watching him scurry to get ready while I cleaned dishes- it was my turn after all. I was feeling sad as I slipped the dishes into the soapy water, I was eighteen, and had a crush on a boy who probably would never feel the same way. A tear slipped out of my eye and caressed my cheek, and fell into the water. I swiped my eyes with my jacket sleeve, and made sure Soul didn't see me crying.

~Soul's POV~

Well, Maka looked adorable today. As soon as I saw her, I approached and rested my head on her neck, feeling her flinch and relax. Maka had grown over the years, and it had worked well with her body. I knew that I was in love with her, but I just could never muster up enough courage to tell her- I was worried that she would reject me, and she wouldn't want to be my partner anymore. How uncool. She was drop dead gorgeous now, with her hair grown out and her flawless skin. Other guys of course noticed, but I surely scared them off. I knew that I would have to confess soon, but I just had to find the right timing. I scrambled to get my clothes on, and ran out the door, grabbing Maka's hand, ( my strategy is to make little touches here and there until I could confess, ) and hoped on to my bike, pulling her onto the backseat, feeling her hands wrap around my waist, fitting perfectly, and her rest her head on my back. I grinned, and drove to school.

As we pulled up, we noticed some ruckus in the front of the school, near the entrance. People were gathered around in a ring, and Maka questioned,

"Maybe a fight?" I shrugged, and wrapped my arm around her waist after I parked my bike. We began to walk up the stairs, and nudged our way through the crowd, to find the center of attention. I expected maybe 'Star battling someone, but instead, I found something I never would have guessed to see.

What the hell?

~Maka's POV~

Soul had his arm around my waist, eeep! And we were walking and shoving our way through the crowd, in order to see what was going on. Instead of a usual supervised fight, a small child was standing there, calling out,

"Where's Mommy and Daddy? They should be here..?" a little girl called. She had white hair that was in two twin pigtails that were elbow length, green eyes, and an orange and white tee shirt with a soul on it, and a black skirt with black leggings. She was wearing a lime green backpack, and was spinning around, looking for someone. She looked about five, maybe six? She was nothing short of adorable, and I met eye contact with her. Her eyes flashed recognition, and she ran up to me, and pounced, her giving me a hug, and screaming,

"MOMMY! I FOUND YOU!" I was confused, but decided not to argue with her right now. Soul had let go of my waist, and walked around the side of me, looking bewildered, and staring at the child.

"Hey Maka, why did she call you momm-"

"DADDY!" She screamed, letting go of me, and jumping on…SOUL!

"AHH! WHAT!" He yelled, confused, but still holding her up against his chest. The other students began to chatter, and I think I heard some things like,

"I didn't know they were together,"

"When was she pregnant?"

"Does Spirit know?"

"If he doesn't, he is going to KILL Soul!"

"Man! That means I can't date Maka now?"

"So cute! They are so perfect together! Look at her!"

I was panicking on the inside, and flushing- but I grabbed Soul's hand and yelled,

"Keep hold of her! Let's go to Shinigami-sama!" Soul nodded, and we raced inside and into the death room. Lord Death turned around expectantly, and said,

"Hello hello! I suppose it's about time, sorry, I tried to find her before she could find you- I would rather have introduced you to her personally. But, she has a mind of her own, and ran outside to meet you!" he cheered.

"Oh. So she is a future student of yours?" I questioned.

"I suppose so." Lord Death answered.

"Whose kid is she?" Soul asked.

"See… this is the weird part… this is actually your child from the future." Lord Death answered slowly. My kid? Soul's? Both of ours! What! This isn't possible! I started to panic, and my face froze. Soul leaned over and waved his hand in front of mine before turning to Lord Death.

"WHAT! What do you mean! Our kid? As in, Maka and I's? Is this some kind of prank?" Soul yelled, and the girl went behind my legs and hid.

"I have never seen Daddy this angry before." She stated. I unfroze, and decided to calm her down- if she was my kid; my mothering instinct sure came out. I scooped her up, and tickled her sides, and she giggled and hugged me. I blushed, and hugged back. Soul stopped arguing, and Lord Death shushed us.

"Listen, we think that your future selves were in trouble with some kind of time-altering spell, and your child was sent back to this time period. Of course, it seems to be, that you and Soul have a child in the future." He said it blatantly, and Soul's mouth opens wide, and he stares at me with wide eyes.

"This is… our-" I start, and Soul adds,

"Child!" Soul yells, shocked. The little girl pokes her head out of my hair, and smiles- nodding as she says,

"Yup! Where's Uncle Black *Star and Aunt Tsubaki? Or Uncle Kid and Aunt Liz? Or babysitter Patty?" She inquired, looking around. I took action, trying to update her on the situation.

"They aren't here right now sweetie." I say, bouncing her on my lap. I look at Soul and shrug, and he seems more relaxed, trying to deal with the girl and putting our relationship on the side for now.

"What's your name girl?" Soul questions, his expression warmer than I have ever seen before.

"Akami, daddy! You already knew that, silly head!" she said, giggling.

"Oh yeah! Of course," Soul said, grinning- acting like he was joking around, "I was just kidding of course!" He scooped up Akami, and put her on his shoulders, piggy-back style. He turned to Lord Death.

"Does this mean she has meister or weapon blood?" He asked.

"I don't know, ask her?" Lord Death questioned.

"Akami, this may sound weird, but, can you turn yourself into a weapon, or sense soul's?" He said, putting her down to eye level.

"Oh yeah! I just found out how to do that trick you showed me too! I was going to show you tomorrow and maybe help you and mommy help defeat a kishin next week! Watch!" She raised her arm, and grinned. A white light shined, and her arm turned into a golden scythe blade, with the same pattern as Soul's, but light gold and dark gold. Soul and I turned to each other, wide eyed, and looked back at Akami. It was getting harder and harder to doubt that she was our child.

"Impressive." Soul and I said, Soul changing his arm into a blade, in order to match hers.

"They say I am gifted, that I can sense soul's, and be a weapon. Something called a meister?" Akami stated, reaching for Soul's hand to hold.

"Wow…" I said, sounds like me…

"Just like your mother!" Soul said, giving her a squeeze. She giggled, and looked around. Just then, a certain red head burst through the door.

"Makaaaa..?" He called, and then laid eyes on Akami.

"What. The..he-" he started- until Akami burst out running towards him while screaming,

"PAAAAAAAPPPAAAAA!"

"SOUUUUULLLLLLL!" Spirit screamed.
