I do not own Soul Eater, but merely wish to write this for my own personal entertainment. Enjoy and please tell me how I did. :)
Chapter 1: The Twins
Stein walked down the long hallway. He lit a cigarette and watched the sun dying. It made him think of the past, but quickly shoved such thoughts away. I can't think of that.
"Professor?"
Stein turned to see Maka and Soul standing behind him. He knew they had been following him. He always knew.
"Yes, Maka?"
"We were wondering if-"
"Oh, you're pregnant."
Maka's face turned red. Soul's scowl depended and Stein smirked. He figured that Maka and Soul would become pregnant. They had been wanting to for a while.
"Is the baby okay?"
"Why wouldn't it?" Stein asked as he tilted his head backward.
He read the soul of the child. It was strong, but reserved. Stein could feel that the child was going to be a great weapon. However, he saw something was a bit off with the child. It-
"Have you been having the regular symptoms?"
"She barfed on my bike and me this morning. Yesterday she almost killed me because I got low fat chips. The day before that she was crying because the sun wasn't as bright as it usually was. I think she has-"
"MAKA CHOP!"
Soul rubbed his head as Maka pulled her book off it. Stein felt his smile widen. This couple always brightened his day with menial antics.
"How about your diet? I'm assuming you changed it when you first figured out."
"Yes, I did everything that I was supposed to do! Negus has been checking out the baby, but I just feel like there's something wrong."
"Well, I don't think there is much I can tell you aside from just wait out the pregnancy. I don't think the child is in any danger so don't worry too much. Try to not exert yourself too much. Soul, you can make sure of that."
"I can keep an eye on myself."
"You push yourself almost as hard as Black star." Soul muttered.
"I suppose that is all the advice I can give you. I'll check the child when you come to visit Negus if you want."
"Thanks Professor."
Stein watched the meister and weapon walk away. They were arguing over whether Maka did push herself almost as hard as Black star. He chuckled to himself as he left the academy.
Maka had become a professor and Soul had achieved the title death scythe. It was not long after Lord Death made Soul his personal scythe that Soul had proposed to Maka. Spirit had thrown a fit, but since when did Maka pay any mind to Spirit. The wedding had been extravagant, mainly because of Liz and Patty (Kid helped too, but was soon kicked off the planning committee because he was slowing them down).
"Stein."
Stein looked up to see Negus standing outside the infirmary door. He had somehow walked there during his flashback.
"I'm guessing you want to talk to me about the child of Maka and Soul?"
"Yes. It seems that there's something odd about the infant, but nothing wrong."
"I saw that when I read the soul. It is still forming so I couldn't really get a good read. I do know the child is going to be a weapon and a strong one at that."
"Did Maka talk to you about it?"
"Yes. She asked me to check on it when she comes to visit you."
"I was going to ask the same."
"I'll be here, Negus. The infant intrigues me."
Stein went back to his laboratory. His thoughts still on the infant of the Evans's. Something was off, and that something gnawed at Stein. He wanted to figure out what it was, but knew that only time would tell.
The child's oddness was very troublesome. Stein had never been stumped before. He thought that the child shouldn't be any odder than the parents. Then again, the black blood in Maka and Soul might have some effects on the baby.
"I think a little experiment is in order." Stein said to himself.
Stein lifted himself from his office chair and got ready for sleeping. He would start the experiment tomorrow and call in some helpers. He felt an odd fluttering inside him. He hadn't talked to the Twins for years. They were almost grown up, but still as strange as ever. He doubted they would ever settle down, let alone fall in love. They were in love with their work, and that was fine with Stein.
The next morning, Stein got packed. The Twins lived only a few miles outside Death City, but they had hidden themselves with traps. Stein trembled a little when he thought of someone actually being able to bypass the traps.
Stein arrived at the Twin's house by noon. The sun was blazing in the sky and only heightened Stein's urge to get inside. The house was perfectly hidden by the paint that matched the desert perfectly. Stein found the stairs to the front porch and walked up. As soon as he opened the door, he was attacked by the huge Dobermans that the Twin's had created.
These Dobermans were made to deflect a soul attacks. They were huge, dark, and intimidating. They were half electronic, half actual dog. That way they would live forever. Stein, however, wasn't scared. He knew the phrase for them to stop.
"Lemon drop."
The dogs stopped, sat on their hind legs, and panted happily at Stein. A low rumble came from the staircase. The Twins were experimenting.
Stein walked slowly up the stairs and rounded the corner. He carefully opened the door and saw sparks flying around the room. The Twins were creating a new animal/machine.
Asami was the first to notice Stein. She squealed and jabbed her brother in the ribs. Hideaki jumped, turned, and smiled as he saw Stein. The two siblings ran to meet Stein. They hugged him, though he didn't return the hug. He never did.
"Hey Dad!"
"Hello Asami."
"Dad! Did you see Frank and Jack? They're beautiful, aren't they?"
"Dad, we just created a bird with surveillance cameras, microphones, voice recognition, and missile launching devices!"
"That's interesting, Hideaki."
"So, why are you here? Do you have a problem?"
"I have an experiment. However, it seems I need you two as helpers."
"Well, we kind of have our own experiment we've wanted to do."
"Oh?"
"Yes, we wanted to study the inner workings of human relationships."
"You won't have to search much. You'd be at the DWMA, which is a perfect spot to find relationships to study. The subject of my experiment is a married couple that were former students. "
"We'll be packed in five minutes." Asami and Hideaki said simultaneously.
Stein waited for the Twin's as they ran through the house, gathering equipment and needed supplies. They were packed in three minutes and out of the house in two. They bounced around Stein as he trudged along in the sand. The sun was starting to tire and Stein knew that they should get back to Death City.
