Soul was really anxious. His girlfriend and meister was giving birth in that exact moment right next to him and he was holding her hand to give her courage – even to himself.

"Don't worry, honey. You will make it, you'll give life to our child" said Soul to Maka, but also a little to himself.

"Thank you, Soul" she answered.

The girl was using every inch of her strength to give birth her son. She wanted to keep the promise made to his boyfriend.


After what it seemed like an eternity, Maka managed to give birth to the child. Both Maka and Soul were crying for happiness.

"Congratulations. It's a boy" said one of the doctors.

The blonde took the baby in her arms and caressed his head.

"How should we call him?" the albino asked.

"Nakata. It's a name I always liked."

Then Soul smiled softly to his child.

The neo-mom then, with a very feeble voice, told those words:

"Hi Nakata. Welcome in our family. He's your daddy" said pointing at the albino. Then she said at the latter:

"Soul…I kept my promise. Now you're a father" to then kiss him and shortly after lay down on the bed.

Soul feared the worst and called the doctors. They said that they weren't issues during the labor and that Maka was simply exhausted because of the fatigue. Soul took a breath of relief and sat down right next to Maka with his son in his arms.

In that moment Soul understood that his life was complete and a phrase took from a Clean Bandit song came in his mind:

"When I'm with you, there's no place I rather be."


Hello!

This chapter is pure fluff, as you saw.

And after 2 alternative where there was only sadness, we return to smile.

As always, here's a little anticipated FAQ for clarifying certain points:

1) Didn't Maka died while giving birth?

No. That was the second of the alternatives. These are untied between them but tied to the premise. They're like parallel lines of universe.

2) Why the child is named Nakata?

Well, you know that I love putting subtle references in my fanfic. This is one of them.

If you want answers, read other fics on my Tumblr and leave a review.

(T/N: The fic where I explain the meaning of the name Nakata isn't translated…yet)

3) Why a randomly placed song by Clean Bandit?

This is the point: I wrote this chapter while watching the E3 and since the ideas of the development of this idea weren't clear, I placed "Rather Be" at the end to give a conclusion.

4) Aren't some phrases took from the previous alternative?

I'm really sorry to say it, but yes. Like you were able to affirm in the point 3 of this FAQ I was writing this chapter during the E3 (Almost during or almost before of the Sony conference, if I'm not wrong) and, since the ideas of development of this chapter weren't clear, I copied some of the phrases to gain time. I think this will be the first and last time I do this.

5) What promise has Maka made?

Maka promised to Soul that him would become a father despite everything. I didn't explain it in the fic because I thought it was pretty obvious.

I hope that you liked this chapter.

See you to the next chapter; I'll publish it next week (Not anymore "in a week time") if there aren't any personal business.

But before that, don't forget to review!

Bye!
