Soul had spent the day shopping since they barely had anything to eat after he had just went shopping yesterday. Maka had been eating more abnormally fast, and… interestingly. Yes the sudden and weird desire for chocolate and pizza was quite.. weird.
But when he had finally gotten 3 full bags of food, fruit, and veggies he sighed when he managed to fiddle the key in the lock. Opening it up he slammed the door with his foot and placed the bags on the counter. Pulling off his headband, and jacket as he did so.
His meister.. or also known as his girlfriend had been acting interesting. She seemed more emotional, and her body always looked so tense. But, he wanted to make sure she was okay, and wasn't hurting, he sighed as he steppe over to the hat rack and placed his things onto it.
"Maka?!" he called, his voice sounded quite loud, when he glanced up. She wasn't calling him back at all, and it made him scared and fearful. He walked quickly over to her bed and gently knocked onto it, when he opened it. She wasn't in there…
Soul shut the door and felt his heart pounding now, why? What was going on with her?!
He walked over to the bathroom door, inhaling slowly then gently exhaled. He lightly knocked, his knuckles hitting the wooden door.
"Maka?" he called to the room, he waited for some sort of answer, when he heard movement in there.
"Maka I know you're in there!" he called as his teeth shattering, the sharp teeth glowing a touch. She needed to talk to him, she was making him worry terribly.
"What's going on?" he said, of course keeping his calm and cool. He stared at the door as he sighed a touch.
"Maka let me in.. don't act so closed off. You haven't had a full conversation with me….angel?" he question his head being pressed against the door. He could feel his eyes getting heavy, his heart still pounding as fear spread all over him.
Soul growled, if she didn't open the door, he sure would. "Open the door Maka, or I'm going to knock it open." he said his deep voice sounding worried, yet anxious.
She needed to talk to him, to tell her she was okay!
Maka's heart thudded in her chest. She didn't want to cut herself off from her partner… But what choice did she have? She gripped her head harder, her finger nails digging into her scalp, making her bleed from her head slightly.
She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling sick to her stomach. It was partially because she was pregnant, partially because her anxiety was taking a hold of her fragile little body.
She stayed still and shook. She had heard Soul's voice, but she didn't understand what he had said. He head was spinning, and her vision was clouded with tears.
The memories of her Mother and Father fighting with each other and her Mother leaving, coming back to her. She had started sobbing, and she didn't even notice.
Soul pounded yet again feeling quite uneasy; "I'm breaking down the door Maka! Stand back!" he shouted as he moved back, jumping on his leg a touch. He couldn't just have her sit there and not say anything.
What if she was hurt and dying?!
Kicking forward the bottom of his food hitting near the lock as the door slammed open fully. The lock snapping off the handle. The image of course.. wasn't quite what he had expected to see.
He panted as he stared at her, his meister…
She was on the floor crying, her head was slightly bleeding. Swooping down he fell to his knees, not noticing all of the pee sticks around them. The only thing he cared and worried about was…her.
"Maka…" he spoke soothingly, as he pulled her to his chest. His chest cold from being outside, but also from sudden fear. She looked terrible..
Stroking her hair he closed his eyes and pulled her petite body close to his. "It's okay.. tell me what's wrong lil' angel.." was all he said when he opened his eyes, noticing actually what was on the ground.
The little pink strips that made a cross on the sticks… was it..real?
Soul's heart pounded as it nearly slammed against his chest like the way he slammed the door. Please tell him this was a dream.
Maka kept crying, she hugged Soul tightly and didn't say anything. She started to cry more when she felt the baby move, only reminding her of the situation she was in.
"I-I'm s-sorry…" She managed to sob out between her tears. Maka had figured that Soul was piecing everything together by now, and that he had figured out what was going on. She was afraid of how he'd react.
After all, they were still only teenagers. They would have to worry about a lot. Especially Maka's Father. If he found out… Which he would… Soul would most likely be cut into little cubes for 'deflowering' and knocking up his daughter at 18.
Soul's arms were in a tight hug around her body, as she seemed to just keep sobbing. But why was she apologizing..? She didn't do anything bad, right..? He stared at the pee stick and reached over to it, as he still held onto his sobbing lil' angel.
Staring at it, he finally found out what this meant;
"M…maka…" he said slowly his eyes widening. If it was true then… Maka was-?
The thump of his heart pounded against him, was he seeing this wrong?! He slowly moved Maka away and glanced at all the other pee sticks. They all said the same.. So it was true.
"Maka, you're…" he only managed to say as no other words came to him. Moving his hand he gently touched her stomach, closing his eyes he exhaled slowly.
"How long?"
Maka was finally able to draw herself to talk. "Two months… I didn't think it was anything… I just thought I was sick… But I wasn't… Then I felt it… And I flipped out…" She kept shaking and crying. "I should have seen the signs, but I didn't. I'm so stupid… I'm sorry…" She kept crying.
Soul stared at her, her words were so small..unsure. But she seemed so fearful for some reason. Was she scared Soul might leave?
He shook her and growled; "Maka don't be such an idiot.. You can't be sorry for that!" He felt himself say, before he stopped.
He wasn't mad… just agitated she didn't say anything.
"I was worried you were..dying. You didn't say anything Maka.. You should have told me." The eyes of his own started to weld up with tears. She was carrying their baby.. their child.. their daughter or son..
But he knew the fear she thought; "I know you're thinking.. i'm gonna leave. But I'm NOT going anywhere Maka!" He shouted and stared directly inter her green orbs.
"I promise…"
Maka looked back into Soul's eyes, the tears slowly started to go away. Deep down, she knew Soul would never leave. He had said it before. The worry was just always there, deep inside.
"Soul…" She said softly, she rested her head on his chest and didn't say anything, her breathing calmed, and she went back to normal. But she still felt weird.
As if wanting attention, the baby in Maka's stomach kicked at Soul's hand. Maka flinched a bit. She was new to this, after all. The thought of something inside of her kind of creeped her out.
