Wow! Things sure are going by really fast aren't they? So how's everyone been? I think I should probably restate this for those who have forgotten or for those who are new, but: I update this fanfic every Tuesday night so that it's available to read by Wednesday. I'm sorry, but I'm a very slow worker. I know others have new chapters up about every other day, but I'm afraid I don't work that fast so I sorry I can't have new chapters up besides every other week on Tuesday night.
Anyway, one problem I had with this chapter was I didn't know whether or not they'd have those son graph thingys for babies in the 1920's so I was kind of in a bind. Although it seems like pretty fancy equipment so I figured not since we weren't that technologically advance back then. So if they did have them I'm sorry, but just for this chapter let's pretend they didn't because it makes it more fun to read! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Oh come'on! You should know by now that as a regular high school girl I couldn't possibly own one of the greatest manga series ever written! SO HA! Put that in you pipe and smoke it because I can't be sued by you or anyone! (see's people actually smoking, 'I didn't say you should really smoke. You'll die from that you know.')
X. . . Chrno, I'm Pregnant . . .X
X. . . Chapter 3: Double Trouble . . .X X. . . By: SugarBananaNutMonkey . . .X
Three Weeks Later
It's now mid June and the weather is starting to heat up quite a bit as summer starts to unfold. In preparation for the heat wave Sister Kate has given everyone at the Order permission to wear lighter clothing to avoid heat strokes and fainting spells. This to would also include Sister Rosette who's now in her four and a half month of pregnancy. Everyone at the Order has been trying their best to help her along in these last few weeks, but now it seems their troubles are about to double.
Returning late from another mission Chrno and Azmaria slowly crept into the room setting down their belonging quietly so as to not disturb a sleeping Rosette. It seemed that almost every night now the two would return home very late from a mission only to find that Rosette had gone to bed early. This didn't really bother Azmaria much since she knew the good sister greatly needed her rest. Chrno, however, was slowly becoming a bit lonely now that he was constantly working and hardly ever got to spend time any time with her.
Then as suddenly as they had appeared upbolted Sister Rosette, as if she had been expecting them, and dashed into the bathroom slamming the door. From inside you could hear the sounds of her having another vomiting fit.
"Oh dear! Rosette, are you alright," whispered Azmaria knocking on the door.
"Yeah. . . . I'm. . . . aarrgg. . . . ack. . . . everything's jake. . . . brraagg!"
A sudden thud to the ground in the opposite direction turned Azmaria's attention to Chrno who was now on the ground cradling his own stomach. The little devil seemed to be holding in a lot of pain and looked utterly pale in the face.
"Chrno? Are you ok? You don't look to good."
Looking back at the young apostle he tried his best to fake a smile then quickly retreated to the open window where you could hear the coughing up noise of his own vomit. Greatly concerned for her friends Azmaria began to panic then left the room running down the hall straight to the head sisters office. "Sister Kate, please come help! Rosette and Chrno are both very ill!"
At that instant the door quickly slammed open, but it was not the head sister that had appeared in the front door. A young blonde hair man wearing a white doctor's coat had knocked down the small girl then proceed down the hall to Rosette's room. Azmaria knew from seeing him once before that the young man was none other then Dr. Kingsly. Quietly getting back to her feet the head sister now helped her up asking if she was alright?
"Yes, I'm fine, but why is the doctor here at this hour?"
Walking down the hallway Sister Kate quietly explained that she was greatly concerned for Rosette's health and these sudden vomiting spells she had been having recently. "I thought we should have him examine her to see if there's anything he can recommend to help ease the pain a bit."
Both Azmaria and Sister Kate then stepped into a very smelly room belonging to the ill sister. Watching the doctor slowly carry the young golden blonde to her bed Rosette slowly breathed in and out resting a bit on the softness of her mattress. Chrno then slid down the window trying his best to stand up, but soon found he barely had any strength left to do so. The doctor seemed to notices this now turning his attention to the sick devil. Helping him to the nearest chair the blonde youth then checked to see if he had a fever. Feeling no abnormal temperature next checked the devil's pulse. Seeing that he was fine went back to checking the resting sister. Chrno tried his best to stay awake, but found that his need for sleep was just as great as the pulsating pain in his stomach and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Azmaria walked quietly into the bathroom getting together a wet wash rag and helped wiped Chrno's face clean of the traces of vomit. From there Sister Kate pulled a blanket over him. Dr. Kingsly, however, was working fast on Rosette feeling all around her stomach, taking her pulse at every instant touch. Rosette was quickly falling asleep till she decided staying awake any longer was impossible and closed her eyes falling back into the pillows. The doctor then pointed towards the door motioning his wanting to speak with the head sister and apostle, but outside where they wouldn't disturb the two sleepers. With the door now closed behind them the group walked back to Sister Kate's office where they could now speak privately on the matter.
The head sister was first to speak trying her best to express the concern for the current situation of her fellow sister. "Well doctor, you've seen for yourself how she suffers now. Is there anything you can recommend to ease her pain?"
Holding his chin the doctor seemed slightly puzzled at this predicament. "The process of her vomiting is a very natural cycle most women experience when pregnant. All I can really say is that you make sure she eats plenty of healthy foods, no junk food nor snacks. It is also vital that she not over do it and tries her best not to be to over active. I can also give her these." At that a small bottle containing green and red pills was placed on the head sisters desk. Curious as to the contents of the bottle Sister Kate began to inquired about them.
"What exactly are these pills? I mean, their not. . . ."
Seeing the concern on her face Azmaria quickly stepped in this adult conversation, "Wait! Their not poison are they!"
At that both the doctor and Sister Kate giggled at the small girls innocent comment. "Haha. . . no my dear no. It's not poisonous. Their just some antibiotics that will help clear her system of any hazardous material that would harm the baby."
Now relaxing in her chair Sister Kate thought for a moment then turned to speak, "Doctor, if you wouldn't mind could you perhaps reexamining her maybe tomorrow when she's awake? I'd like to hear a more thorough report. That way we can help her better in the preparations for the newborn child."
Now facing the head sister the doctor nodded his head and replied. "Yes, that would be most wise. I'd like to see for myself just how well she's doing in her pregnancy. I've also noticed several things that I need to confirm as well. I'll be back tomorrow then. Till then, good night Sister Kate."
"Good night doctor."
With that the doctor flashed his crimson colored eyes making a temporary glow that seemed to suggest as though he directed this little wink toward the two girls in a very flirty manner. Now all alone the two girls wandered to their own thoughts about the matter ahead. The head sister now looked upon the little apostle and inquired about something that had just occurred to her. "Azmaria dear, since your here why don't I go make us some tea so you can give me your report about tonight's mission. I trust everything went well?"
Coming back to reality she nodded her head and smiled, "Oh of course everything went alright. And yes, I'd love some tea."
"I see. In that case I'll go start our tea."
Just as she was about to leave the head sister saw concern spread across the young child's face. Sister Kate then quickly realized what was troubling her. "Oh don't worry about Rosette, she'll be fine. Weren't you the one telling me how strong she was?" smiled the head sister.
"Right!"
The Next Morning
It's dawn now and the first one awake was, of course, Sister Kate strolling around the Order. Along the way on her morning walk she listened to the sounds of the birds singing; greatly enjoying their morning music. Quietly returning to her office the head sister went about her normal duties calling in exorcists for missions.
Mean while, inside Rosette's bed chambers the young sister awoke to the bright beautiful morning light. Stretching a bit she then noticed a certain violet hair devil now curled up next to her body. Blushing a bight red the sister then screamed. "GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Waking up with a fright Chrno jumped up out of the bed landing face first onto the floor, but quickly stood back on his feet now on high alert scouting the area for what had made her scream ready to protect her. He then realized the scream was directed towards him as she glared with a look of intense anger.
"Chrno! What were doing in my bed?"
Now it was his turn to blush feverishly as he stuttered for words, "I. . . ah. . . must have. . ." The truth was that the little sinner had become so lonely now always being separated from the one he loved. That very same lonely feeling had probably manifested itself into him sneaking to bed with her in order to fill the empty void he had been recently feeling.
Rosette's glare then dropped as her mood changed from rage to calm. "Ah, never mind. Anyway, last night. . . . while you and Azmaria walked in I couldn't help, but noticed that you started throwing up at the same time as me. Start explaining this, bucko! If. . . . if it's just that your sick then you had better take better care of yourself you hear me?" she said smiling a bit under her pink blush.
A little overjoyed at the idea that Rosette was actually concerned for him made the little devil greatly pleased. Although the very same thought had just now crossed his mind as well. Chrno couldn't remember eating anything that could have made him ill nor had he recently been poisoned. It then hit him that it could mean only one thing! Although he carefully thought about how to phrase what he was about to say so that Rosette wouldn't make a mess of his words like she normally did.
"Rosette. . . I think I. . . ah. . . that is to say I think I'm. . ."
"Becoming a woman!"
"Yeah. . . that I'm becoming a woman. . ."
At that both Rosette and Chrno faces dropped as they turned to see over in the corner the Elder looking mischievously at his latest work of putting words into Chrno's mouth.
"I AM NOT!"
Rosette then gave the old man the boot out of the room and sat down on her bed, hands clasped on her face trying very hard to contain her upcoming laughter. Chrno soon realized this and tried to stop her, "Rosette don't you dare!"
However, it was too late. In an instant the young sister fell onto her bed laughing madly at the last comment. The words echoing in her head as her laughs grew louder. "That I'm becoming a woman. . ."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY! THAT IS FUNNY! OH STOP IT'S TO MUCH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Debating whether or not he should feel insult or embarrassed Chrno decided to let her have her laugh till she could no longer giggle.
At any rate he figured this time round he better just come out and say it rather then have the Elder try another attack from behind. "Rosette. . . . what I meant to say was that I think I'm starting to feel your pregnancy pains."
Quickly stopping her laughing rampage Rosette thought some more on what he had just said and then giggled some more after realizing something else. "So it does mean your turning into a woman!"
Falling to the floor Chrno knew she meant that only jokingly, but still he couldn't help feeling that she was actually enjoying tormenting him. He then smiled at his own brilliance for actually making her smile and laugh for a first time in ages. "I should probably go thank the Elder later for this. The old man just wanted to cheer her up," he thought to himself.
The door suddenly opened with Azmaria standing there pushing in a roller tray full of breakfast plates. Rosette then stopped laughing long enough to smell the yummy smell of fresh food. "Here, Rosette, I've bought you breakfast. Sister Kate said you should eat something before the doctor comes today."
Grabbing a plate the sister began filling it up with tons of pancakes. Pouring maple syrup all over her flapjacks Rosette then bit into them. Azmaria also took some for herself and began eating as well. Chrno wasn't to fond of the buttery bread and instead pilled his plate with some juicy sausages. For a while the three shared a nice quiet peaceful meal eating their own share.
"So Chrno. . . .," started Rosette her mouth full of the syrup covered flapjacks, "what do you mean by your starting to feel my pregnancy pains?"
At that Azmaria spit out a bit of her tea causing her to begin coughing. The sister then patted her on the back helping to stop the coughing. "You mean you can feel Rosette's pregnancy's pains Chrno?"
Trying his best this time to make sure that they would understand what he truly meant the violet hair devil thought to try explaining another point to his explanation. Chrno figured that this might better help them to comprehend what was really happening here.
"Well. . . . Rosette and I are connected in many ways. For example, I sometimes can feel certain emotions that Rosette is experiencing at a particular time just as she can sometimes feel my emotions. The same thing implies to whenever she or I am in a great deal of pain. In this case, since she's pregnant I suppose although it's never really been heard of I think I'm starting to feel the movement of the baby inside Rosette. Does that make sense?"
Both girls faces were blank staring at the small devil as though he had finally lost his marbles. "But. . . . Chrno your a boy and Rosette's a girl. It's just not really possible for you to feel that kind of pain, is it?"
"Yeah that's right! Pregnancy is a woman's pain and burden! A man shouldn't be able to experience it regardless of anything!"
It then hit the young blonde sister that Chrno wasn't a human being, but a devil and their way of life probably wasn't bound to the laws of human logic. Lowing his head in embarrassment the ruby red eyed devil pondered the very same question as to why he could feel that kind of pain when it shouldn't really be possible.
Rosette, however, seemed to slowly kind of understand the situation and now took a crack at trying to explain. "Basically, whenever I feel nauseas you'll feel nauseas too and same thing for whenever I feel the baby kicking? Your saying right now my pain is your pain right?"
A little surprised at her sudden simple words of clarification all Chrno could do was smile and nod his head. With this now settled the trio then continued eating their breakfast.
After about a half an hour later each of them were full and just as Azmaria was about to take out the tray of empty dishes in popped Sister Kate, Dr. Kingsly, and the Elder. The head sister was the first to speak, "Sister Rosette, I've asked the doctor here to examine you and the Elder has just now informed me that he has a new. . . err. . . invention that will help us. I'd like you to come down with us to his workshop if you please."
At that the group all walked down the ground to the Elders little cottage workshop. Slowly walking in the old man lead the way into a dark corner of the room. "It's right back here. This way, this way," he said calling out to the group moving things out of the way to clear a path.
"This is it! Prepare to be amazed!" Pulling a white sheet down the group gazed upon a table with an unusual device next to it with a large digital screen behind it. "I call it, 'The Rosette Baby Viewer!' Well. . . isn't she a beauty?"
A bit slightly surprised at the weird invention Sister Kate had her doubts about whether or not it was safe. It seemed as though Chrno and Azmaria both shared the same doubt about it's reliabilities. Rosette, however, seemed utterly fascinated by the unusual looking contraption. In the background the doctor was slightly curious as to what this odd machine was for and took a step forward trying to get a closer look.
"Well. . . . ah. . . . Sister Rosette if you would please ah. . . ." struggled Sister Kate trying not to sound ungrateful for the Elders hardwork.
Noting that he had not yet explained what to do the old man quickly pulled Rosette and the doctor forward. "It's simple. Rosette just lie down on the table. You my boy stand over here while I turn it on."
Lying down on the cold metal table the young sister watched as the Elder pushed a small green button on the side of the panel causing the machine to jump start switching on the other buttons which started flashing. Chrno was very much on edge not wanting any harm to come to his beloved from any weird machine the crazy old coot invented. "Now. . . Rosette I need you to lift up your dress." In the next instant the Elder had several bumps on bumps on his head one from each female present in the room excluding Azmaria. Chrno had apparently joined in and added an extra bump from his pervertive comment as well.
"Would you please listen before striking an old man! I need to have your belly showing so we can place these there." The Elder then had four weird looking wires with small short needles at the end in his hands.
This was more then fishy! Everyone beside the doctor and Azmaria knew of the Elder's pervertive manner and this stank of his dirty work all over. A bit frightened of the small pointed needles at each end of the wire Rosette swallowed her pride and obeyed, lifting the blue dress up enough so her belly showed. If it wasn't for the glow of pink skin then the giant round object could have easily been mistaken for a basket full of small watermelons. The needles at the end of the four wires were then placed on each side of the belly pushing into her skin. Flinching slightly at the pain of having four needles now inside her the sister bit down on her tongue trying hard not to let it show. From there the Elder pressed a few switches and stood back.
"Ok. . . . with the needles now inside we should be able to see what it looks like inside Rosette! Switch on!"
Pressing down on a small black button made a dark image appeared on the digital screen. From any normal human perspective it would have looked like a horror film monster, but they all knew the shape that was now appearing in the screen. It was the very outline of a new born baby still in development. Everyone stood there all blank and amazed at this incredible miracle the Elder was showing them. "Well. . . . what do you think? Am I genius or am I a genius? Just don't stand there doctor! Aren't you suppose to be examining her."
The doctor just smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder. "Why there's really nothing left for me to do now. This breath taking photo has taken my job away. That picture right there tells me everything I need to know for my report for Sister Kate. Although just to be on the safe side I'd like to confirm my theories. Please bear with me Sister Rosette, I'm going to take a needle out and put it back in a different area."
Nodding her head, she prepared for the upcoming pain as the doctor then took one of the needles out and moved it over a slight bit to reveal another more surprising discovery. It was at this moment that everyone in the room gasped.
"Well now, just as I thought. I figured that's why you looked more along then you really were. Everyone, are you ready for my new diagnoses?"
Azmaria quickly stood behind Sister Kate as she knew that this would most likely cause her to collapse. Chrno held his breath hoping this news wouldn't be anything bad.
Clearing his throat the doctor exclaimed, "Sister Rosette is going to have twins!"
At the next instant the only words that seemed to be heard was the echo of the word "twins".
Sister Kate did in fact faint landing in Azmaria's catch muttering to herself about the end of the world. Chrno stood there in shock and speechless. To him this feeling of utter happiness of being a father to two babies was over whelming and priceless. If there ever had been a time when he was more happier then now he could not think of one. This same feeling pushed the little devil forward to congratulate his beloved Rosette. He then walked towards her hugging every bit of her being he could hold tightly. She in turn did the same both of them crying tears of joy.
"Chrno! I'm going to have twins! I'm going to have twins!"
"I know! I know! Isn't it wonderful?"
Crying harder then she had ever done it had been a first time she was crying for something delightful in ages. "Yeah. . . ."
Azmaria was quietly fanning away at the head sister trying her best to calm down the stressed out sister. The doctor just stood there smiling not really grasping the whole situation which was now occurring. The Elder, however, was a little busy feeling whatever little bit of Rosette's luscious skin he could get at before she turned around and smacked him one good one into the wall.
2 Hours Later
Now awake and feeling more herself Sister Kate gave her thanks to the doctor as he left the convent. Slowly walking back to her office the head sister quietly mumbled to herself, "Twins. . . good lord save us all. Little Chrno's. . . and possibly god forbid little Rosette's running around acting like their parents."
At that thought Sister Kate stopped and pictured two small little babies in diapers tearing up her office. One was a small blonde baby girl tearing up papers and messing up important documents on her desk. The other was a baby boy with a small violet braid now going to the bathroom on Sister Kate's good carpet generating a small puddle and an atrocious odor. At that the head sister was now leaning on a nearby tree, her face utterly pale and fallen by the sudden daydream.
"Oh how will the Order of Magdalene survive all of this?"
Now far away from the convent Dr. Kingsly put on a very devious face.
"Hehe. . . so the girl is going to have twins huh? This news will make lord Aion very happy. I'll have to keep a close eye on her progress to make sure she's well taken care of. Yes. . . very well taken care of. Her babies hold the key to finishing Lord Aion's plan. Hehe. . ."
Suddenly he put on a very child like demeanor and blushed, "Although that sister sure did look really sexy, even though pregnant. Oh and the touch of her skin is like a gift from heaven. Chrno sure is one lucky devil! Oh no, what am I saying? I couldn't. . . but she's so dam pretty! Oh what a little vixen. Maybe I'll tease her a bit before having some fun. Hehe. . ."
From there the young blonde doctor slowly slipped away into the shadows disappearing from sight.
End!
So that's the end! I bet a lot of you are laughing so hard your crying right? Right? I'm hoping for some awesome reviews this time! Anyway, I swear you guys are like mind readers sometimes. When I first started making this fanfic I had already planned on having Rosette give birth to twins. And no I won't say just yet whether or not it's gonna be a boy/boy, girl/girl, or boy/girl. You'll have to stick with it and find out on your own. The next chapter is gonna be something a little different, but I think you'll like it. Hehe!
Oh yeah, I've been reading other fanfics lately with sort of the same theme as mine and they've got the kids taking after both parents. If you've noticed in mine I haven't been doing that, but instead making little mini versions of Chrno and Rosette. Why? Well, mainly because I think that both of them probably won't be able to think of their baby taking up traits from both parents since they're having a hard time picturing their kids any other way. This mainly implies to Sister Kate mostly.
Rosette: So what your saying is my baby could have my personality, but have Chrno's face?
Me: That's what some people have been writing. What do you think?
Rosette: (pictures a girl in long purple hair with a yellow hair ribbon and red eyes carrying exorcists guns wearing Rosette's militia's outfit) HAHAHAHAHAHA! It's a female version of Chrno!
Chrno: Hey! I'm not a female! I'M A GUY! A GUY! Would you two please stop trying to saying I'm a girl!
Me: Awwwwwwww, but why not? It's so much fun! Unless you want me to change the father and make it Remington's kid?
Rosette & Chrno: (freezes in ice) HELL NO! (Chrno transforms and Rosette pulls out her guns) THIS IS OUR BABY! OUR BABY!
Me: Oh crap. . . (runs away dodging bullets and energy blasts) AAAAAHHHHH! IT WAS JUST A JOKE! A JOKE! AAAAHHHH SAVE ME REMINGTON!
Remington: So it was my child after all. Ha! I told you I was the father, I told you!
Rosette & Chrno: (directs their attacks towards Remington) DIE!
Me: (still running) Aren't you suppose to be saving me?
Remington: (running along side) How can I hurt my dear Rosette?
Me: What about Chrno?
Remington: I'm afraid that in his current form I'm quite terrified to face him head to head in combat. Bye bye! (runs faster leaving me behind)
Me: TRAITOR! (gets killed by the couples attacks) wHy mE!
Anyway, thank you so much for all your reviews! I LOVE YOU GUYS! You really inspire me to keep writing! So come back on Wednesday if you want to read the next chapter!
