Maka's POV

His breathing steadied and it deepened into a peaceful rythym. I knew he finally fell asleep. I tried to picture the children he dreamed of and soon fell into my own daze. It was a quiet and sweet moment. I said before falling asleep, "Our family will be perfect. Because they'll always have a caring and loving father."

Two Months Later...

"Oh, thank you!" I said gleefully. I opened a small box with a beautiful yellow/gold color. I pulled out a onesie with a giraffe on it. Patty clapped her hands together.

"Yee! Don't you love it! It has a giraffe!" She shouted excitedly. I smiled and nodded.

"I love it, thank you Patty." Liz walked up to me and handed me my next present, which is a lot bigger than the other one. I smiled to her as a thank you and glanced up at the banner that said 'Happy Baby Shower'. I was still dazzled by what had become of my life. I'm six months pregnant now. I haven't been to school for two months and i've missed it so much. The thought brought a flush of sadness and I pushed it away, focusing on my amazing and thoughtful baby shower. I opened the gift Liz had just brought to me. I slowly pulled out an amazing set of baby bibs, pacifiers, diapers, and a fluffy reddish orange blanket. I smiled widely and looked up at Liz. "Thank you, this is awesome." I said.

"Of course. I guess we don't know the gender yet, but I thought instead of buying a ton of girly or boyish stuff, that you'd need some baby stuff in general. I hope it helps." She explained. I nodded.

"It helps a lot. Thank you." I said to her. We haven't told anyone, but being a student with no real job and only getting money for the DWMA dorm and food expenses, meant we were pretty broke. Crona, although he hasn't healed completely yet, has been taking extra and easy jobs that reward him with money instead of souls. Somehow, it's getting us by with buying all of our new baby stuff, but it's not helping that Crona's apartment was never meant for an extra guest.

"Well, looks like just one more present and then we can play some games." Marie said. Marie carefully leaned over the couch where she was sitting to pick up the present she brought for me. She handed it to me and I gave her a warm smile. I tore the wrapping and opened the package to find a receipt... I pulled it out and realized that all of the prices were scratched out. Baby's Comfort Stroller, Baby's High Chair, Baby's Rocket Bouncer, and Baby's Calming Music Box were listed on the paper.

"D-did you really get all this stuff?" I asked Marie. With a big smile she nodded her head. I jumped out of my seat and gave her a huge hug, or what you could call a hug with both of our round bellies. With what Marie had gotten us, Crona and I wouldn't have to worry about a lot of the baby's necessities. I could go do so much with the money saved. Though I shouldn't really be worrying about the money and be more grateful that she gave me so many... expensive gifts in the first place!

"And don't worry about anything. I ordered double of everything I needed for Tyler. Yours are all neutral colored though, not blue and green and brown and stuff." She giggled. I gave her another small hug and a bright smile before sitting back down in my chair. "You missed a gift." Marie said. I raised an eyebrow in confusion and looked back in the box. There was thin colored paper to cover the rest of the present which I removed to find the next item. I pulled out a stitched doll. It was more on the girly side, but i'm sure if I had a little boy he'd love it the same. It was a doll with blonde yarn for hair and green buttons for eyes, the clothes were a pink dress and black dress shoes. It was adorable and I knew exactly who made it from the distinct stitch marks across every limb and the doll's face.

"Did Stein make this?" I asked her. She nodded.

"He wanted to give it to you when he invited you and Crona to dinner this Sunday, but I said i'll add it to my gift since I was going to your baby shower." Marie explained. I smiled at the sweet and thoughtful gift. Stein doesn't seem like a man with a lot of heart, more like stitches and scalpels... But he does care a lot. He considers Crona his son now, and he'd do anything for our family. I'm sure he'd do something illegal if we asked him to...

"Thank you Marie, this is all so very nice. And tell Stein that I love his trademark stitches, the baby will have to know it comes from Grandpa Stein." Marie giggled and nodded. I was about to get up and out of my chair when the baby kicked. I stopped in my tracks and looked down at my bulging stomach. "The baby kicked." I announced. Every girl in the room stopped moving stuff to look at me for a second and make an "awe" sound or smile sweetly. Theresa actually came and sat by me.

"C-can I feel?" She asked. I nodded and grabbed her hand. I placed it where the baby was kicking. Theresa's eyes grew wide and a big smile formed on her face. "That's so cool."

"I know, right. Just wait until you can feel the baby kicking on the inside, not the outside. It's way cooler." I paused a moment, "Except when the baby kicks and lays on my bladder. That's not fun at all." Everyone laughed.

"When am I supposed to start feeling the baby kick?" Cumo piped up and asked me. I thought for a moment.

"Well you're about four months pregnant now?" I asked. She nodded. "Then it won't be long. You start to feel the baby move around at twenty weeks." I explained to her. Cumo looked down at her small round belly and smiled.

"I forgot to get something today, sorry. But I have something in mind." Cumo said.

"Oh no, don't worry about it. You being here is absolutely wonderful."

"Okay, games!" Patty yelled while slightly violently pulling Candy Land out of the board game pile. A few of us laughed and began to gather around a few different board games. Marie and I had to sit in specific chairs because of our protruding stomachs. It was bothersome sometimes, always being careful about bumping my belly. I've accidentally run into someone before and they freaked out because they thought they hurt the baby. It was quite the encounter...

"Maka, want to play Monopoly with Marie, me, and Cumo?" Theresa asked me. I nodded and approached where they were setting up the game. We spent about an hour playing board games before Marie stood up and asked if we could play a baby shower game she brought. Everyone agreed.

"Okay, so i've melted chocolate in these," Marie holds up baby diapers, "and the person who can guess the type of chocolate gets a special gift from me!" Everyone looked at eachother a little warily but shrugged and grabbed a diaper to sniff. Everyone had to guess the diaper they had. If they got it, they got to keep it to stay on count of who got what right. If they got it wrong, they passed it on to the next person.

"Is this snickers?" Liz asked as scrunched her nose in disgust.

"What's wrong with snickers?" Marie asked, "And you're right by the way." Liz stuck out her tongue and turned her head away.

"Sissy hates snickers." Patty says for her sister. Everyone goes into fake shock.

"How can you hate snickers?" Theresa yells. Everyone started their small rampage about Liz hating snickers. It was funny and everyone had their laughs. I looked up at the clock. It was about four thirty now. Crona should be getting home soon...

"Oh wow, this was so much fun. Thank you guys so much for coming over." I said. I tried to low-key kick everyone out. Marie got my hint.

"Oh yes, it was so much fun." She fake glanced up at the clock above our telephone. "Oh my, it's almost five! I have to go see Stein and make sure he hasn't burnt down the house..." She tried to give everyone else the small hint and some people captured it.

"Yeah, Kid's probably rearranged the house again. I guess we better go too. You wanna come, Cumo?" Liz motioned for her. Cumo nodded and gave me a wave before turning with the Thompson sisters and leaving. The rest of the people who came gave me a hug as they left. The only person left standing in my living room was Theresa.

"I thought you may need some help cleaning. Crona will be home soon, won't he?" She asked me. I nodded and gave her a hug.

"Thank you. I knew you being my best friend is one of the best choices I made."

"Thanks bestie. And good, cause' i'll be sticking around for a while." She started to pick cups and food off the floor.

"You better. I don't know what i'd do without you girly." I gave her a bright smile and went off to pull the garbage out of the can. I got a small cramp in the side of my abdomen and I winced, while dropping the sack.

"Are you okay?" Theresa asked me, looking worried. I nodded.

"I'm fine. I must've got up too fast to be doing things. Or I just need some water. It's nothing." I explained to her. She gave me a worried glance before going back to cleaning. She grabbed my vacuum cleaner and began to go around my entire apartment vacuuming. I giggled a little and I turned to clean my silverware. After I finished with that, Theresa was done too.

"Okay, look clean enough?" She asked me. I nodded.

"Thanks, it's really helpful since I can't really move around a lot. My belly gets in the way. And you know, potty breaks frequently. Speaking of..." I had to pee, again. I swear this baby absorbs everything just so I can go to the bathroom. After I finished up I met up with Theresa in my living room.

"I put away the board games. They were meant to go in that closet, right?" She pointed to a closet just down my hallway near my bedroom.

"Yeah, that's where they go. Thanks. Well, you're welcome here. So you can stick around or go home, which ever you choose. Crona enjoys your company." Theresa smiled.

"Well that's nice. I'm glad that he likes my presence. Unfortunately I have a few errands to run, so I better get going. But tell Crona I said hi." Theresa gave me a long, warm hug before leaving. I sat down on the couch and instantly felt a soreness in my back. I groaned slightly and positioned a pillow comfortably. I grabbed the T.V. remote and glanced at the time again. Crona would be home in half an hour or less. Dinner shouldn't be started for about forty-five minutes. So I guess a little bit of television couldn't hurt. I turned on one of my latest favorite shows. But I soon found that my eyes began to droop. And everything was really quiet...

"Maka? Helloooo... C'mon wake up. It's like seven. If you sleep now, you won't be able to tonight." I could hear Crona's voice. I opened my eyes slightly and saw him leaning over me with his hand on my shoulder. I smiled.

"Welcome home, babe. How was your day?" I asked him sleepily. He smiled and before he could open his mouth. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him towards me enough that he stumbled and fell onto the couch next to me. "I missed you." I said as I cuddled up to him.

"I missed you too." I could feel him slowly wrap his arms around me. That probably meant that I surprised him when I pulled him onto the couch. I smiled nonetheless and snuggled in closer to him. I opened my eyes and stroked his tie.

"How come you wore a tie?" I asked him. I moved away a little so I could look at him.

"Part of the job I had to do. B-business stuff. I had to ship a lot of clothes to a seller and act as if I were... um, what's the word?" He asked me.

"Professional?" He nodded. "Oh, that sounds like fun." I smiled and thought for a moment and jumped up abruptly. "Wait, didn't you say it was like seven?" I looked up at the clock and it was six fifty-two. I was in a panic. I ran to the kitchen.

"Maka, what are you doing?" Crona asked me as he got up off of the couch.

"Dinner! I was supposed to make dinner over an hour ago. I'm so behind." I frantically began to grab cooking equipment that I didn't even know if I needed. I didn't know what I was going to make.

"Whoa, whoa. Slow down. You don't have to cook anything. The man who gave me the job fed me. Besides, it's getting kinda late to cook dinner. If you're hungry I have extra food." He explained to me. He softly grabbed my shoulders and slid his hand down to the pan that I was holding. He took it from my grasp and set it on the counter. "I can see that you're tired. I'm sure you didn't get a nap today and you're exhausted from the baby shower. Why don't we go lay down in bed?"

"Okay." I nodded and let him lead me to our bedroom. He gently helped me slide underneath the blankets which I didn't hesitate to pull up to my chin. I patted the spot next to me, inviting him to join me. He laid down next to me and went underneath the covers which meant he was going to sleep too. If Crona wanted to just talk instead of sleep, he wouldn't of gotten underneath the blankets. "How's your wound?" I asked him. It's been two months since the... incident. It's too painful for me to actually say her name now. So I call it the "incident".

"It's f-fine. I'm just sore from walking around so much. I'm exhausted, i'm doing what Stein would say, 'too much work for so little of healing'." I giggled.

"You know, you're a bad liar." I said. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why do you say that?" He asked.

"You don't stutter unless you're lieing or embarrassed, sometimes even when you're frustrated." I explained. He moved his mouth to the side and made a "hmm" sound.

"I guess i'll have to work on that."

"No! Don't do that! The stutter is adorable, and besides, I don't want you to lie to me about anything. Even if it worries me, I want you to tell me whatever is wrong." He frowned. "Please?" I begged.

"I don't know if I could do that." He said honestly.

"Not lie to me? Why can't you be honest?" I wasn't getting mad, but they were important questions I wanted to ask.

"No, I can be honest. I don't think I could tell you something if it made you worry. You already have so much to stress about." He wrapped his arm underneath me and pulled me close to him while resting his hand on my baby bump.

"Oh don't think about that. I can handle anything. I promise." I kissed him on the cheek and he smiled. "Besides, the baby doesn't have to be the reason for anything. The baby is fine. I just want you and me to be honest to eachother for everything. So, tell me again, how is your wound?" He gave out a long sigh.

"It hurts, a lot. Stein keeps telling me that I need to lay back on walking and doing jobs, but I don't know any other way to keep us... um I forgot the word, stable." He said. "He said that my blood still inhibits the healing effects even though Ragnarok is gone and he injected a false black blood into me." He sighed again. "My spine hurts so much, it's difficult to walk sometimes."

"I think you're thinking 'financially stable'. But anyway, Crona, you need to lay back a little, please? You don't need to hurt yourself again." I said. My eyebrows turned downward and I was extremely worried about him. He works too hard and at this rate he's only going to hurt himself again. There was a time, last month I think, that he stood up to fast and his spine cracked. He fell and his breath was knocked out of him. It was terrifying. He couldn't walk for a few days and then his spine healed again, so he was up moving and working.

"I know. I worry about us and the baby though." He explained. I moved my arms around him and squoze him until he grunted.

"The baby and I are fine. You though, are not. Listen, it's Saturday, Stein wants us to be at his place for dinner tomorrow. I'm sure he'd want to look at your wound and check on your spine. And maybe you can ask if there is a way to help you heal faster or hurt less?"

"I don't think there is. He's already given me pain medication and it doesn't work. Whatever is left of Ragnarok filters it out. It doesn't last long and I don't think there is anything else to help."

"Quit thinking like that. There has to be something. He can't just leave you in pain all the time. That's no good way to live." I could feel tears well up in my eyes. This moment wasn't necessarily sad or overwhelming, but my hormones are off, so I tend to cry a lot. I can't believe Crona is in so much pain though... There has to be something Stein can do. Crona can't just suffer until he finally heals. Who knows how long that'll take now that Ragnarok can't do it for him? Crona looked at me in the eyes and stayed quiet. "Please, Crona? Please ask him atleast. If he can't, no harm done. We can't just let you suffer." Crona sighed.

"Okay, i'll ask. But I have something to ask you if i'm going to ask Stein that." I pulled him closer to me to signal him to continue. "Well, I know you hate this and you don't want to, but I want you to ask Stein to figure out the baby's gender." I pushed away from him. I sat up, stared at the wall and coiled my fingers together. Crona really wants to know the baby's gender but I refused. To be honest, i'm scared to know. What if i'm partial on the baby's gender? What if i'm dissapointed if it's a girl? What if i'm dissapointed it's a boy? I want both and I tell myself that i'm okay with either one, but am I? I'm scared that if it's a certain gender I might not love the baby as much if it were a different gender...

"Maka? It's okay you know... It's alright to be scared about this." Crona said as he sat up and wrapped his arms around my waist shakily. Crona is always afraid to touch me... That he'll hurt me or the baby. He feels like he tries too hard to be loving, then sometimes he feels like he'll hurt me if he touches me. It's strange and he never told me why he thinks that way. I also never told Crona my real feelings about why I didn't want to find out the baby's gender. He must've read my soul wavelength...

"I know..." I respond. Maybe i'm not a good mother? I know Crona will be the best father he can be... Am I going to be a good parent though? What if I mess up?

"Maka, stop." Crona says as he leans his head on my shoulder. "You're making this hard on yourself." Now I know that he can feel my soul wavelength. I must be really worrying... When Crona and I have extremely strong emotions we can feel it through our bond that we established. I sighed.

"Sorry, must be the hormones." I thought for a moment... Should I do what Crona asked? If it makes him happy, then yes, I will. "Okay, fine. I'll find out the baby's gender. I won't even have to ask Stein, Marie would just read the baby's soul and tell me."

"Okay. Thank you." He squeezes his arms that lay around my waist for two seconds and releases. I could feel him breathe out a long breath and travel down my shoulder. Had he been holding his breath? He then lays backward and takes me down with him. He began to giggle and I did too. I rolled over and faced him, he did the same.

"I am worried about your spine." I tell him. He gives me a slight smile and pulls his fingers into mine. He holds our intertwined fingers in front of our faces, he examined every finger and how they fit together.

"I know. I am too. I wish I could fix my cuts and bruises by myself, like Ragnarok used to do. I doubt that's possible though."

"That's actually not a bad idea..." I said thinking. What if the healing process that Ragnarok did wasn't just him? It was also in the blood's alchemy or something like that... Stein did say that when he could get blood samples and examined it that Crona's blood was pretty much the same as ours but it had a few more compositions that either he couldn't identify or it didn't make sense. Maybe Crona can heal himself, but he never did because Ragnarok did it for him... That's why Crona is still healing. Ragnarok isn't completely gone, he's still there, just a little, but he's there and he's healing Crona the best way he can!

"What are you thinking?" He asked me. I looked up into his eyes.

"Ask Stein tomorrow about your idea. I just figured out something." Crona raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"It's not really a 'idea', it's more a dream, or a wish. What do you think you figured out?" I smiled widely and began to tell Crona what I just thought of. As I talked, his face turned from confusion into slight-belief. "Wow, well that's definitely something to think about. I mean, that makes sense... I wonder though if that is what's really going on. It could be different, maybe... no nevermind. I'll just ask Stein about it tomorrow." Crona yawned.

"Thank you." I kissed his cheek. "We can sleep now. Those bags underneath your eyes suggest that it's time to fall asleep." He smiled and closed his eyes. He nodded and pulled me close to him. Well as close as he could... After a few moments I could tell he fell asleep by his calm and deep breathing. I looked at the digital clock posted on my vanity table on the wall across from the edge of the bed. It's 9:16. I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes, hoping for sleep to come.

I waited a while before I finally could fall asleep. I don't know how late it was when I dozed off. It wasn't long after darkness replaced my consciousness and I was suddenly enveloped into a dream. This again... I sit at a table, it looks like something you would find outside a fancy coffee shop. The parasol was out and the sun shined brightly. When I looked down, I was wearing a yellow tank top and capri pants with flip flops. I also wasn't pregnant. I looked around, there was a park to my left and to my right there was a forest... I stood up from the table and began to walk towards the park, occasionally glancing at the ominous forest.

"Hello?" I asked the empty park. No answer. I walked around the play set and there wasn't a single child in sight. Last time I was here, Crona was in the tube that connects the tiny rock wall and the slides. There were also glowing eyes in the forest, but there isn't anything there now, and there's no Crona. I suddenly could hear chains and a squeaking noise. I whipped around and was faced with a sudden appearing of a swing set. There was a little girl with blonde hair in pig tails and wearing a pink dress. I cautiously approached the child figure. It or she was just sitting in the swing, her head down and letting the swing move in slight motions.

"Hello?" I repeated. The figure stopped moving on the swing. "W-who are you?" The girl turned her face upwards and it was... me.

"Me." The girl said my thought. "Who are you?"

"I'm you." I said to her.

"You are? I am?" She began to move the swing in slight motions back and forth again. "I don't know anymore."

"What don't you know?"

"Me, you, our life. What's it like to be all grown up?" She asked me. I stood there in confusion for a second. Am I really talking to myself? Why am I a child? What's the point to this?

"I'm not all grown up yet. I'm still a teenager." I explained to her. The little girl, me, frowned and glanced at my stomach then back up to my face.

"Really? I would never of guess with that." I looked at her confused until I looked downward. I gasped loudly when I noticed that my belly had grown twenty sizes larger. I'm suddenly pregnant. And it seems like more than before. Like i'm about to pop. "I'm not dumb enough to do that."

"Yes you are." I tell her. "But you're proud of it, no matter the circumstances you're in. You love every inch and pound of the baby." I looked down at my stomach again and I was suddenly skinny again. I was confused and I looked up to the girl once again. I was thrown into shock when I saw her. Her facial structure was different... Her eyes a neutral mix between slanted and round, her irises were dark blue and seemed so compelling. Her hair was a bit brighter than my own, but it stayed in the pig tails and she still wore the dress.

"Do you love me?" She asked me. "What if I did something bad? What if I didn't do as you asked? What if I tore you and Daddy apart? What if I killed you both?" She seemed extremely serious and I took a step back from her. "Why are you scared Mommy?"

"I-i'm not." I say, my voice shaking. "Mommy and Daddy love you very much. There's nothing you could do to force us apart or stop loving you."

"I didn't ask about Daddy. I asked about you. What if I killed you both? Or just Daddy? Would you still love me?" She smiled evilly and I suddenly became terrified of this girl. I took another step back and tried to level out my voice, though I didn't do such a good job.

"Y-you wouldn't hurt Mommy and D-daddy. You love us as much as we do you." Her smiled vanished and she stood from the swing set.

"Are you sure about that?" She began to grow extremely fast and became taller than me. As soon as she could reach me, one of her hands reached my throat and squoze it. She became tall enough and lifted her hand that I was lifted off of the ground. "What if I hurt Daddy? And left you alive?" I couldn't answer her and I choked. She smiled and turned her back towards the playground. I had a perfect view of the park and on top of the roof of the bridge, Crona lay broken, bloody, and dead. I screamed although I was choking.

"CRONA!" I screamed into the night. I began to thrash and I couldn't see anything, everything was pitch dark. A strong set of hands wrapped around me and attempted to hold me still. "No! You can't die! Not again!" I screamed.

"Maka stop! I'm right here!" Crona grunted a few times. I could identify that it was really Crona by the sounds he made and the way he began to soothe me with his soul wavelength. I was panting, crying, and I think i'm sweaty... "Ow you're strong." He whined. I think he said that and meant to be funny, but I began to bawl. I turned towards him and buried my head into the crook of his neck, I grabbed onto his shirt and balled it up into my fist. His hands held me strong and were wrapped around me. I could feel him tilt his head onto mine.

"Please don't go." I whispered in between my gasping and bawling. I could feel his arms tighten and I could tell he was tense.

"Shh, I won't. It's alright now. I'm here, I promise." He whispered to me. I continued to cry. I couldn't see anything in the darkness and through the layer of tears in my eyes. I knew he was here though. He's here to keep me safe. He'll be here as long as I am. Crona continued to whisper sweet and soothing things to me softly as I calmed down. I don't know how long it took, but I bawled long enough that I couldn't form any more tears and I had a headache. He was rocking me now and his arms tensed every once in a while.

"Are you in pain?" I asked him. He's been sitting up so long with me and the back n' forth motion must be killing his spine. I sniffled and looked at him through the darkness.

"I'll be okay." He said. He avoided my question but answered it at the same time. I knew that he was in serious mode and he lied to me to try to make me feel better. But now I feel worse.

"I'm alright now, lay back." I told him. He stopped rocking but didn't make any motion to go back to laying down. His arms stayed around me and I set my head on his chest. I began to listen to his heart beat. Dubb Lupp. Dubb Lupp. Dubb Lupp. It was like music to me. Hearing those beautiful sounds come from his chest are lifesaving. I breathed out a long and relieved sigh. "I love you."

"I love you too." He answered instantly. "Are you ready to go back to sleep?" He asked me. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep now, but he needed to. So I nodded against his chest and he slowly and carefully laid down again. I could hear him grunt painfully as he settled down. I knew that he was sitting up in one position for too long. Damnit why do I continue to hurt him? Tears threatened to stream again so I took a deep breath and pulled myself as close as I could to Crona with my baby bump. I was pretty uncomfortable like this, but I was terrified to let go of him. "Maka i'm right here. What are you afraid of?"

"Of losing you." I said. He can feel that i'm terrified. I hope he falls asleep soon, but with my emotions like this I don't think he'll be able to. When we sleep, the connection settles. But if one of us is awake, then we can still feel the others emotions if they're strong enough.

"You know Maka, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone about these nightmares... But this is the tenth one ever since i've been home. Maybe it's time to ask someone for help?" He asked me.

"No! I-I can't. I don't want anyone to know. I'm fine. It just takes time. Precious time..." I instantly responded. He sighed and I knew he felt guilty for not being able to help me get rid of my nightmares. I won't let anyone know though. I don't want anybody else but Crona to know. I didn't even want Crona to know, but he had to come home when he was well enough to walk. He was homesick and I welcomed him home, and that night I didn't have any nightmares, but the next night was hard. He didn't know what to do. He thought I was dieing at first, then it was that there was an intruder, until I grabbed onto him and pulled him close bawling. He realized that I had a nightmare then. It was a long and sleepless night for the both of us. He asked me so many questions about my nightmares...

"Maka, maybe you need some help. I'm just saying that Stein or Marie might be able to help. Or talk to Theresa." He tried suggesting. I shook my head. "Alright. I won't talk about it anymore. Just think about it, okay? If I can't help you, somebody will."

"Don't say that. You help me more than anyone else. You make me happy and calm. You make the bad moments sweet. You make everything perfect. Crona I love you. You are my life." I said to him. He smiled and turned his face towards me. I realized he had been just staring at the wall.

"And you're mine. I'm just worried about you and what your nightmares might be doing to your sanity. Or to the baby. I feel like I don't do much to help you." He admitted.

"Oh Crona, you do more than you think. It was worse when you weren't here. These are tiny nightmares." I said. He shifted a little.

"Well i'm glad I help a little." He stopped talking for a second to let out a big yawn. "What time are we going over to Stein's tomorrow?"

"Around four in the afternoon. How about you go to sleep? I'm calm now, i'll be able to sleep now." He shook his head.

"No, I want to stay up with you now." He said. He pulled me closer, or tried too, but of course there was an obstacle in the way. I watched his eyes and he watched mine.

"Okay, but you'll be up for a while if you're up with me." I warned him. He yawned again, which made him close his eyes and he didn't open them again.

"I know. That's fine with me. As long as you're safe... with... me..." He fell asleep. I knew it wouldn't be long before he passed out. He had an extremely long day with lots of walking, pain, and he had to come home to deal with me. Which isn't a bad thing... I'm just a bit more to handle now that i'm pregnant and hormonal, plus the nightmares... Everytime I have a nightmare he has to stay up with me until he thinks i'm safe. Which I think is adorable, but I do worry about his sleep. I remember when he had trouble sleeping, I was gone on a mission with Soul. He never told me about his nightmares and I had to find out when he began to scream one night. Then he started to get random marks... That was an extremely terrifying experience. I'm glad that hasn't happened to me.

I stared at the ceiling. I couldn't sleep. I looked at the time. 3:48 a.m. I sighed. Today is going to be an extremely long day...

So tell me! How'd I do for the first chapter of part 2? Anybody got advice? Tell me everything that you thought about it. Also, do you like that it is now Maka's POV? I am hoping I can pull off this entirely as her POV. I will see you guys in the next chapter.

Bye Bye!
