Later that day, after their lovemaking, Kid and Melaena decided to go for a walk in the park together. They had three days left of their honeymoon, and then they would be heading to Death City to see their friends.
"So, have you told anyone yet?" Kid asked, placing his hand on Melaena's stomach, making her heart flutter.
"Just you. I plan to tell everyone after our honeymoon." Melaena responded. Kid looked at her and smiled.
"I can't believe I am married to and expecting a child with the most beautiful woman I have ever met." he said. "Father will be thrilled, that's for sure.
"And so will Liz and Patty. They did say if we ever have children, they want to be their godmothers." Melaena said. As they were walking through the park, they saw two familiar faces, Soul and Maka. The pair saw them and waved.
"Kid? Mel? How are you? How is married life treating you so far?" Maka asked. Kid and Melaena looked at each other and smiled.
"Perfect." they said in unison. "So what are you two doing here?" Melaena asked.
"We're here on a mission from Lord Death. There is a Kishin here who has been targeting children and taking their souls." Soul said.
"That's horrible!" Melaena exclaimed.
"It is, but we can handle it ." Maka said confidently. "Come, let's have a chat." she said to Melaena, leading her away from the boys. When they were out of earshot, Maka said, "So I couldn't help but notice that you have two souls around your own." Melaena smiled and nodded.
"Yes. I'm two months along." Melaena said. Maka smiled.
"So does Kid know?" she asked.
"Yes, and he's ecstatic. I told him on the day of our wedding." Melaena replied. "I just didn't know we were having twins, until you just mentioned it. Now Kid will be especially thrilled.
"Congratulations." Maka said, hugging Melaena.
"Thank you. That means a lot." Melaena said, smiling. They rejoined their partners and parted ways.
"So, what did you and Maka talk about?" Kid asked.
"Maka knew I was pregnant the whole time." Melaena replied. "So, how do you feel about having twins?" Kid's eyes grew wide.
"You're having two?" he asked. Melaena nodded. Kid embraced Melaena and spun her around, kissing her. "Sweetheart, that's wonderful! Now they'll be perfectly symmetrical!" Melaena rolled her eyes. Kid tilted her head so that their eyes met. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are everything I live for." Melaena felt her heart skip a beat.
"So do you want boys or girls?" Melaena asked.
"I will love them, no matter what they are." Kid said gently, kissing her. When it got dark, the pair headed back to their hotel for another night of passionate lovemaking. Meanwhile, in Death City, Lord Death was watching his son and new daughter-in-law while they were in the park together, and was thrilled to learn he was going to be a grandparent.
"Oh guess what, Spirit?" Lord Death said happily.
"What?" Spirit asked.
"My Kiddo is going to be a dad!" Lord Death replied, squealing with joy.
"Melaena's pregnant?" Marie asked.
"Yes, with twins!" Lord Death exclaimed happily.
"Wow, I didn't know Kid had it in him. I always thought he was kind of a prude." Spirit said. The last remark earned him a Reaper Chop.
"So that means that their children will have Witch, Shinigami, and Divine blood. They will be most powerful indeed." said Professor Stein. Lord Death nodded.
"Let's hope that a witch or a Kishin doesn't hear about this." Marie said.
"I am very well aware of the dangers, Marie, which is why Melaena will be closely watched and protected at all times." Lord Death said. However, news of the Queen's pregnancy had already reached the ears of the witch Arachne. She knew the children with such strong traits could pose a threat to her. She knew what happened to Medusa at the hands of Melaena. She needed a way to rid herself of the newly crowned Queen and her unborn children. But how...
