Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up but I nearly forgot about this story until now.
Neko came out blushing in a blue maternal dress Kane left with them as she looked at the two male in the living room. Before she could even speak Kurama picked her up and headed out the door with her.
"What are you doing?" Haruo exclaimed as he followed Kurama.
"If we don't get Neko to Genki's before she goes into labor we'll be in some serious trouble," Kurama told him.
"What?!" Neko cried and then looked down at her abdomen. "I'm about to give birth!"
"You didn't finish the book did you?"
Neko looked away and blushed, "I was getting to it."
"Haruo, start up the car," Kurama told the other male as they headed to Haruo's car.
Haruo quickly turned on the car waited for Kurama to buckle Neko up to pull out. 'Damn it! Why didn't I pay attention to what was happening last night?' Briefly looking back at Neko to notice that they wouldn't make it in time and decided to do something very dangerous. Leaning forward to hold the steering wheel with his elbows and did several hand signs as he took a deep breath holding it. 'Please let this work.' When he released his breath Kurama and Neko didn't notice that they got to the temple until the car stopped. Haruo gasped out, "We're here."
Kurama was confused for a moment before realizing that Neko needed to get into the temple quickly. Picking the now female cat demon in his arms Kurama quickly ran up the stairs and into the temple yelling to Genki and Yukina that Neko was getting ready to go into labor. As they ran about the temple to get the supplies they needed for the birth they never noticed Haruo didn't follow but instead stayed in the car exhausted and only had enough energy to turn the car off.
Kurama ran down the temple stairs to the car and found Haruo leaning back on his seat asleep. "Haruo…"
The only acknowledgment he got was Haruo letting his head fall towards him.
"Haruo, are you okay?"
"…You wanna know how we got here so fast?" Haruo questioned quietly.
"You didn't," as realization washed over him.
Haruo gave a half smile and said, "I'll be fine in a few minutes…how's Neko doing?"
"Neko's more or less in pain and pissed."
"Tell Neko I'll be up in a few."
"Alright," Kurama responded before heading back up the temple steps.
"Damn it!" Neko growled as she slumped against the back of the tub. She was glad she decided to use the birthing tub it made the contraction all the much better to handle. Looking at Yukina she asked, "Where's Haruo?"
"He's in the car still," Kurama answered as he waited outside the door. "He'll be up in a few."
"Okay…Genki?"
"Yes child," she answered as the elder looked up at Neko from getting the blankets ready the baby.
"How long does labor usually take?"
"It differs but since you're a cat it shouldn't take long or it might not."
Neko barely noticed that she was already pushing out her baby or when Yukina slowly pulled her baby out of the water. It was only till her baby cried out from having its imbecile cord did her animal instincts kick in to protect her child. But before she could bare her teeth at Yukina Haruo appeared and took their baby from her. (A/n: I have no idea how long labor should take or how exactly the birthing tubs feel. I did a little research and found it a lot better than having birth in the hospital but there are still some problems if you use the birthing tub.) Neko immediately calmed down when she saw her mate holding their baby.
Haruo moved the blanket away barely but covered the baby up again and went to Neko's side telling him, "It's a boy."
With a sigh Neko looked at Genki waiting for a towel which she received. "I'm not doing that again." Haruo helped Neko out of the tub as Genki helped her into a robe. Once the Haruo took Neko to an empty room so they could rest and to enjoy their baby son.
