Chapter 3

Oh Death, I updated!

Be happy. I read all the reviews and couldn't help but say,

"Wow. You people just love children."

It's not a bad thing, don't think it is.

Well, thank you:

Let's go on...

Disclaimer: That Person: NO!

Maka: What?

That Person: I tried!

Maka: No you didn't... You didn't even fight for it...

That Person: I know... *bows head*

Maka: *sighs* That Person doesn't own Soul Eater.


Maka closed her locker door, Soul leaning on the lockers next to her.

"So, I'm her papa now..." Soul muttered under his breath.

"Yeah. You are." Maka walked away.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Library. I need a book of a few things."

Soul took a deep breath and followed her.

Once inside the library, Maka navigated herself to a certain section that made Soul's eyes widen.

He picked up his pace so he was only inches away from his meister. "What the hell are you doing?" He hissed.

"I don't know the essentials of taking care of a child." Maka said, picking a book of mothering out from the shelf.

"Are you crazy? Someone can spot you!" His voice was still lowered.

"So what?" She moved and picked another book from the shelf.

"So, they'll think you're pregnant or something!"

The blonde meister glared at him. "It shouldn't be of your concern if they think that."

"Yes it should! They'll think I'm the one you're with!"

Maka blushed. "Is that bad?" She asked in a whisper.

Soul stood there, mouth open. He opened and closed it like a fish. "I-I..." He gulped and regained his cool composure. "I just don't want you getting teased Maka. And what'll the gang say?"

"I guess you're right... But I really need this."

The weapon sighed, rubbing his face. "Look. If I agree to help you take care of Annabelle, will you put the books away?"

Maka's face lit up. "You're really gonna help?"

"Only if you put the books back."

She dropped the books and jumped up and down. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She tackled him in a hug.

"Oof! Whoa!"

"SHH!" The librarian from across the library hushed them.

Maka giggled quietly as she released Soul. 'Thank you'. She mouthed with her lips.

Soul gave her that warm smile he only shows Maka and helped her put the books away.


Maka and Soul walked past the guillotines in the Death Room.

"What do you think he wants?" Soul asked, hands behind his head.

"Dunno. Maybe wants us to take a mission?"

Soul raised an eyebrow. "Isn't he the one that told us to take a break from missions for now?"

Maka scrunched her nose. "If it isn't a mission, I don't know what it's about."

They stopped talking when a crying red-head passed them.

"And don't come back until you've behaved yourself Spirit!" Lord Death scolded.

Death Scythe sniffled and wiped his tears. "Yes sir." When he turned and saw Maka, he cried more. "MAKA! PAPA-"

"MAKA CHOP!"

Spirit laid unconscious on the floor.

"Oh! Soul, Maka! Come, come! So nice to see you!" Lord Death greeted gleefully as Spirit cried some more, being dragged away by Stein who had magically appeared.

Maka and Soul walked up to Lord Death. "Good morning Lord Death." They greeted in union.

"Yes, yes. It's a rather splendid morning, isn't it?"

"Uh... Yeah..." Soul looked at him suspiciously. "What was that about, Spirit and-"

"Nothing to be concerned about." He waved it away. "I just needed him to be out of here while I talked to you two."

"Er... Why?" Maka asked.

"There's an extra soul in your apartment."

The duo laughed nervously.

"Oh, that's just Blair. Don't worry about it Lord Death." Maka said.

"No, I'm not talking about the magical cat. This soul seems to be a child." He leaned in close to the teens. "Care to explain?"

Maka gulped. "Y-You see... We kinda- Uh... Well..."

"It's our child Lord Death."

"HUH?!" Maka and Lord Death looked at Soul, confusion etched on their faces.

"Yeah. Maka and I were being irresponsible"

"SOUL!"

"-and a little over the top-"

"STOP!"

"-and we forgot to put on a condom"

"MAKA CHOP! YOU IDIOT!"

Soul groaned in pain on the floor.

Lord Death chuckled. "I didn't expect you two to go as far as lie about having sex to keep that child."

Maka looked astonished at Lord Death, so did Soul as he sat up.

"You knew?" She asked.

Lord Death nodded. "I know of her missing mother and the death of her father. My soul does protect the city."

Soul got up. "Then why'd you ask about it?"

"I wanted to see how committed you were with keeping her. As far as I can tell, you guys love her so much you'll lie about being together."

"So, we're not in trouble?" Maka asked.

"Not at all! I'm actually proud of you two! If you need any help, just come to me. I'm great with children." Lord Death's eyes showed happiness.

"So, we can keep her?"

Lord Death nodded.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Maka hugged Lord Death. "I promise that if I have any trouble, you'll be the first one I ask for help! Meister promise!"

"Oh ho ho! I feel so honored Maka! Well, you two better run along. Don't want to miss class."

"Yes sir." Maka and Soul left the Death Room.

Once outside, Maka hugged Soul. "We can keep her!"

"Whoa! What's with you and hugging today?" He chuckled.

"I'm just so happy!" Maka released him and started jumping.

"Even if Annabelle thinks I'm her papa?"

Maka stopped jumping up and down. "Who said I thought that was bad?" Maka blushed.

The weapon's cheek turned bright red and he coughed. "Uh, I'm happy too. But... Are we gonna tell anyone else?"

Maka sighed. "I don't think we should. I mean, if the gang found out we'd be history."

Soul nodded. "I just hope they don't visit."

"Oh, they'll get a huge surprise if they do visit."


"BWUAHAHA! LORD DEATH HAS TO BE IMPRESSED! WE CAUGHT 8 SOULS EACH!"

The black-haired boy beside him massaged his temples. "You only have 8 idiot. And as much as I love that you have a symmetrical amount of souls caught, you'll never get Tsubaki to become a Death Scythe if you don't step up your game."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! A GOD LIKE ME CAN GET 99 KISHIN SOULS AND 1 WITCH SOUL IN A SNAP!"

"Then why don't you have that?"

"..."

"I thought so- oh!"

"Sh! Kid, I think that's Soul and Maka." The tall blonde said.

"Huh~! So-"

"Sh! Not now Patty!" She hissed.

"Sorry sissy."

The five friends hid behind a corner and watched the duo.

"I don't think we should. I mean, if the gang found out we'd be history."

"They're talking about us..." Tsubaki said. "I wonder why..."

"I just hope they don't visit."

"Oh, they'll get a huge surprise if they do visit."

They watched as the duo laughed and walked back to class.

When they were both out of range, Black Star exploded.

"THEY HAVE A SURPRISE FOR US! WE SHALL GO TO THEIR HOUSE TODAY TO SEE WHAT IT IS!"

"What? Black Star! We can't do that to Maka-chan and Soul-kun!"

"I agree with Tsubaki. It must be a huge surprise." Kid agreed.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but, I agree with Black Star. I really want to see this so-called surprise."

"Surprise~! Surprise~!" Patty giggled.

"IT'S DECIDED! 2 AGAINST 3 MEANS WE WILL SURPRISE MAKA AND SOUL TO GET OUR OWN SURPRISE!"


ERMERGERD! Will they see Annabelle?

Maybe. Unless I want to...

Nah, I won't spoil!

Wanna read the next chapter already?

Too bad!

I'm back to school, which means back to stress and homework.

I'll try and update weekly, I PROMISE!

So don't kill me.

Please review!

Okay, until next time!
