Well everyone this is chapter 3 of Hard Predicament. I'm sorry about my updating! I hope you review! Don't own YYH.

Three months Hiei was in. He was three months into his pregnancy. Thankfully the morning sickness had reduced to only once or twice a week so that stopped major complaining coming from the short demon. Much to Kurama's relief….

Kurama no is a bit more lenient in Hiei's eating choices. Kurama still makes Hiei half one serving of everything a day, but he is letting Hiei have some fattening stuff as well as healthy.

Kurama now had started giving Hiei a tea that he put special herbs in twice a week. This herb helped Hiei produce milk to feed the baby. Hiei at first was against breast-feeding. But Kurama made him read articles and web pages and even books on the subject. After thinking it through Hiei said yes because it was good for their baby.

Kurama also made Hiei drink water once a day that had herbs in it, that provided Hiei all his vitamins and minerals that he and more importantly the baby would need.

Hiei also got his full 8 hours of sleep every night and didn't do much work the next day. Kurama was still mapping out the baby's room but Hiei was proving to add some difficulties in that because Hiei insisted the room be a nice dark color. Today was one of those days…

"Okay, so here are some colors I thought would look nice." Kurama said calmly laying the cards on the table one by one. All pastel.

Hiei snorted and shook his head. "None of those work."

"Koi, what if our baby turns out to be a girl? What then huh?" Kurama said logically.

"Then she will have to deal with it." Hiei grunted. In truth Hiei would never do that to his daughter if they had a girl. What Kurama didn't know was that Hiei had saved all the receipts that had gotten and had hidden them, so if it was a girl. He could just go back and get pink and other such colors.

Kurama sighed and shook his head and began cleaning up the color cards. He glanced over and got a side view of Hiei standing. Kurama furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Hiei was only three months along. He should just be starting to get a bump or swell where the baby was. But here, Hiei already look like he was five to six months in.

Kurama turned back to finish his job but thoughts swirled in his head. There were many options as to why Hiei was that big. The logical one was that Hiei was having more than one baby.

Kurama almost burst out laughing. More than one child? No way! As far as Genkai, Yukina and himself checked, Hiei only had two heart-beats in his body. His own and the baby's.

Then, as that thought passed Kurama, he panicked. The first thought was that the baby or babies was growing wrong and now were co-joined. Kurama couldn't even think about that. If had his fox ears right now…they would be flat on his head. No…their baby has to be fine. It must be bigger than they thought or maybe demon babies grow a tad bit faster in the early stage and leave the 'mother' a couple of weeks to prepare for birth. Any other option than their baby or babies being co-joined.

Hiei noticed the supreme anxious look on Kurama's face and asked in a soft tone. "What's wrong fox?"

Kurama jumped and looked over and shook his head. "Nothing's wrong koi. Just thinking about how I can get you to change your mind about all these dark colors." Kurama purred seductively.

Hiei gave a sly smirk. "I don't know fox, it's gonna take an awful lot to change my stubborn mind."

"This is true." Kurama laughed.

Hiei chuckled and relaxed sitting down with some effort. "Fox?" He asked.

"Yes?" Kurama asked setting aside the baby room supplies.

"Have you noticed how big I am?" Hiei asked in a tone that said he was a little scared. And he was. He couldn't think of any logical reason as to why the baby was this big. Both himself and Kurama were quite skinny.

"I have Koi." Kurama said sitting down next to him. "Maybe it's a demon thing. I'm not sure what to tell you because I'm not even sure myself." Kurama admitted

"Perhaps we should ask Yukina." Hiei said still in a tone that suggested he was scared. As the months moved on Hiei was becoming quite emotional and quite different, like an innocent child per say. Things scared him a lot easier and he was on the verge of tears a lot.

Kurama wrapped comforting arms around Hiei, "Hiei-baby, I'm sure our baby is 100% okay. After all it does have the blood of us in it and we are very strong. I'm sure the baby is fine. Like I said it must be a demon thing. I'll have Yukina and Genkai come tomorrow to check. Besides that can be the time to tell them who we pick to deliver the baby."

As night came the boys still hadn't stopped thinking about their child. Was something wrong with it? Or was it just twins and nobody saw the other heart beat. Or had the twin died before anyone could hear its heart beat? Kurama and Hiei slept not a wink that night as they thought about this whole thing.

Was something wrong with their baby?
