The Plastic Strip

by LeaCarosella

Soul and Maka had recently started dating, but how they started dating is what this story is about, and what it leads to. During a 'heat of the moment' act, Soul and Maka slept together. Now the two have to face the consequences of their actions. But... What exactly is the consequence? Rated M for sexual suggestions and later chapters.

1. Pink is for Positive

Who knew that one tiny piece of plastic could have so much power over her life? That it could control her fate. Change relationships. Make them better... But also ruin them.

Maka Albarn, two star sycthe meister, and most recently, girlfriend to her weapon, Soul 'Eater' Evans, was at a loss of knowledge. For once in her life, she didn't know what to do. The strip was pink.

The strip waspink. No matter how many times she repeated this, she couldn't get it through her head. She had always thought that she was so careful. She had always thought that she wouldn't end up like her Mother. But she had. Her Father had always said that she would. Of course, he didn't think that this of all things would happen to his daughter. At least this early in her life, anyways.

Maka had taken the test multiple times, leaving the tests scattered around the floor. This just couldn't be right... Pink meant positive, Blue meant negative. Right? Maybe it was a mislabel on the box. It had to be... How did she of all people end up... Pregnant..?

She sat in the corner of the bathroom with her head in her hands, gripping her smooth, ash blonde hair. "I'm pregnant..." She whispered to herself over and over. But no matter how many times she repeated those two life changing words, it wasn't sinking in.

She had missed her period twice. So that meant she was pregnant for two months. She hadn't told Soul that she had a missed period, she didn't tell him that she was experiencing morning sickness. She had only taken the test, because she noticed that her stomach was bulging the slightest in the front region. She was starting to show.

But the main pushing reason was because she had felt it. She had felt the tiny life inside of her kick for the first time. She was too stubborn to believe that in one night she had become a Mother. The baby, however, made her realize that it did indeed happen.

Maka heard Soul walk into there apartment, and she tensed up. Tears ran down her porcelain face as she heard his footsteps. She had to tell him. The bathroom door was locked, and pregnancy tests were all over the bathroom door.

She knew that it was a matter of time before he panicked and knocked the door down and saw for himself. Granted her knew what color was negative, and which was positive.

Maka's shoulders started to shake, as tears ran down her face. 'He's going to leave me,' she thought. 'This is it.'
