Thank you to my Beta reader!


"Well hello, Kid," Lanai said walking into Gallow's mansion. Kid was a bit surprised that she was there, but he just hoped that Dokuro didn't come home until after his ex's visit. Dokuro had said that Lanai pissed her off, and it was clear that she disliked her. Kid closed the door behind Lanai and they went into the living room. That was mainly because Mary was in there, and Dokuro said that she didn't want Kid alone with Lanai. So, if Mary was there, Dokuro couldn't really complain.

"Why are you here?" Kid asked. Lanai sat down.

"I just want to make sure everything is straightened out," she said. Kid hoped that she didn't talk about the pregnancy out loud. Mary was on the other side of the room, so hopefully she wouldn't hear too much.

"What do you mean by that?" Kid asked. Lanai crossed her legs and leaned back.

"Well, since we're going to have a child together, I think that we should be involved more in each other's lives," she said. Kid nodded.

"We're friends, isn't that enough?" Kid asked. Lanai sighed.

"Kid," she said, "I really don't want to go through this alone. Especially after the pregnancy." Kid sat down next her.

"I understand. We're both to blame on this, and I can't allow you to do this alone," he said. Lanai smiled.

"Thank you."


Dokuro walked from her office to Mrs. Dupree's. It was almost time for her to go home, but she had one last thing to do. She couldn't help but wonder if Kid had made it home before her. She was glad that she didn't have to cook, but it wasn't like she could anyway. As she thought of her husband, she couldn't help but think what Roxanne had said. There was no way that Kid cheated on her. She admitted that there was a time in her relationship when her and Kid were having a lot of problems, but she felt that Kid was a faithful and loving husband. Even though he did at one point neglect her, treated her as if she were a nuisance, and call her a whore. They were past all of that though, right? Dokuro couldn't help but remember everything that had happened, then they acted like it didn't. Kid did apologize to her, and they talked about the source of the problem, but they never really talked about what happened.

"Mrs. Death?" Dokuro heard, she looked behind her at the source. It was one of her coworkers.

"Yes?" Dokuro asked.

"Are you alright? You've just been standing there at Mrs. Dupree's office with your hand on the door handle," she said. Dokuro blushed from embarrassment. It wasn't unlike her to get lost in her thoughts.

"I-I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind," Dokuro said opening the double doors and walking in. In the room she was now in, there were white and black couches and a glass table as if it were to serve as a waiting room. A receptionist's desk was seen on the far right side, and in the room, you could see a visible office with glass doors and walls separating it from the room. Dokuro walked over to the other room, which was Mrs. Sherry's main office. Dokuro opened the glass double doors and put a binder on Mrs. Dupree's desk. Said lady looked up at her questionably.

"Are those your new designs for the upcoming season?" she asked. Dokuro nodded.

"Yes," she said. Mrs. Dupree opened the binder and made a shooing motion with her hand.

"Thank you," she said. Dokuro turned around and walked back to her office. When she had finally made it there, she saw several black roses in a vase on her secretary's desk.

"Does someone have a secret admirer?" she asked smiling playfully.

"Actually, these are for you," she said, "It must be wonderful being married to Death." Dokuro looked at the roses curiously. There was a little card and she pulled it out.

"They're from Sarah," she said reading more of it, " 'This is for you to put by Kid's grave after he's murdered by either you or Roxanne.' " Dokuro had a horrible feeling in her gut, but she decided that when she got home to not mention it to Kid. Either Sarah was playing a twisted joke, or something had happened. She had to find out; although, she wished that she could just ignore the situation.


Dokuro was happy to finally be home. She was beyond exhausted. Even though she didn't have to work hard at all, being pregnant made her tired. After parking her car, she walked to the door, but as she went there, she noticed an unfamiliar car. She sighed and opened the door. "Mom, your home!" Ashton called running to meet her. Dokuro smiled at her.

"Hi, sweetie," she said hugging her.

"Can I dust the banister?" Ashton asked. Dokuro looked at her confused.

"Umm, okay," she said. Ashton grinned then excitedly ran away to do her task. Dokuro couldn't help but smile. Ashton always had a positive effect on her. Dokuro walked out of the entrance room, and into the entrance hall. She heard voices in the living room, so she decided to go there to possibly figure out who the car outside belonged to. Dokuro opened the door and saw not only her husband and Mary, who was on the other end of the room, but also Lanai. Dokuro crossed her arms and smiled, but it wasn't a happy or sad one. "What a pleasant surprise," Dokuro said walking in the room. All eyes turned on her, including Mary. Mary really wanted to laugh. It was unlike her, but she couldn't help it.

"Hi, Dokuro, it's good to see that you're back," Kid said as he watched his wife enter the room. His hopes for Dokuro getting back after Lanai's visit were shattered.

"Is it really?" Dokuro asked, then she looked at Lanai, "I didn't know you were here. It's nice to see that you're secretly visiting my husband." Lanai smiled.

"Well, Kid really is fun to be around. So I don't see any reason not to visit him," Lanai smirked. Kid sighed. Why did this have to happen?

"I know he is, but of course I'd know," Dokuro said. Lanai stood up.

"Don't forget, we know similar things," she said. Dokuro crossed her arms.

"You think you do, but trust me things change, and get better over time. It gets amazing in fact," she said.

"Well, it's not like it was ever bad. But trust me, there are things that you don't know," Lanai said starting to walk out of the room, "So don't get too cocky." Dokuro turned to her retreating form.

"Follow your own advise honey," she said. Then Lanai left, and Dokuro turned to Kid.

"Before you say anything, Mary's in the room, so her and I weren't alone," he said. Dokuro nodded.

"I know that, but I don't like the fact that she was in this house sitting next to you," she said. Kid stood up.

"Dokuro, it's not a big deal," he said. Dokuro rolled her eyes.

"Fine, tell me why she was here," she said leaving the room and pulling Kid with her.

"She was just visiting," Kid said as Dokuro pulled him past the staircase where Ashton was dusting. They were now standing in a white hallway with red carpet and black lining.

"Girls like her don't just 'visit' their exboyfriends," Dokuro said, "Now tell me what happened." Kid hated to do this, but he was going to have to lie to her.

"Well, she was thinking about taking up a nurse's position at Shibusen," he said. Dokuro grabbed onto the front of Kid's shirt and pulled him towards her. She stared dead into his eyes.

"I'm so fucking sure that that's it," she said, sarcastically. Kid knew that he couldn't look to the side to avoid her stare because she'd know that he was lying. Even though he had asked her not to be, he kind of missed when she was passive. Now, he was in a horrible situation, and there was only one way out of it. It's not something that Kid would use as a distraction, but Soul did say that it worked on Maka who was way more stubborn when it came to finding out the truth in things than Dokuro was. So Kid, pushed his wife against the wall and kissed her. Dokuro was pretty shocked, but she couldn't help but melt into it. Damn her pregnant hormones, and thank Death that there were guest rooms nearby.


Dokuro sighed from exhaustion as she quietly slipped out of one of Gallow's Mansion's many guest rooms. It was late at night and Kid was still sleeping. It had caught her completely off guard when he had unexpectedly kissed her. That obviously led to them having sex. Dokuro walked around both wondering and hoping that Mary was still up. She really needed to ask her what Kid and Mary had talked about. Dokuro walked to the library knowing that Mary spent some of her free time in there reading and drinking tea, and sure enough she was in there. Dokuro walked inside and sat next to Mary, who in turn smiled and put her book down. "It's been a long time since you last came to me for advice," she said, figuring out why Dokuro was there. Dokuro nodded.

"I was just wondering if you knew what Lanai and Kid had talked about today," she said. Mary shrugged slightly.

"Sorry, I couldn't hear what they were saying," she said. Dokuro sighed and slumped back.

"I see," she said. Mary patted her shoulder.

"It's alright," she said, "Kid still loves you, and he will no matter what." Dokuro smiled a bit.

"Thank you," she said. "Well, I'm very tired, thanks to Kid, but I couldn't sleep with that on my mind. Goodnight." Dokuro got up and walked to the door.

"Goodnight," Mary said, giggling a little, as Dokuro vanished from sight. Mary sighed and looked down. She had great hearing, so she had heard everything that Kid and Lanai had said. She would have loved to tell Dokuro about it, but stress is the worst thing possible when you're pregnant. Mary stood up, deciding to go to bed as well. Hopefully she'll get a chance to talk to Kid about it.


I'm pretty sure you can all tell what Dokuro and Lanai were actually talking about.

Anyway, there's only one more chapter left in the Soul Eater manga. ;_; So sad that's it's ending, but I can't wait to see what happens next.

Please Review.
