Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater. I'm just a fan. The End.

A/N: Ughh. It's been a while. When you're constantly babysitting and worrying about getting ready for first day of a new school, updating fanfics just doesn't come as easy. That and I've got writers block. Augh.

Aside from that, get ready for some Death The Kid, kids! I probably feel more excited then my reader's do. xD Switched from third person to Maka's pov cause I felt it'd be more interesting to hear the story derectly from the main character's own thoughts. Lemme know if it was a good idea! :)

Enjoy.

...

Pregnant...?

PREGNANT?

The single word constantly buzzed in my brain like when you have an annoying song stuck in your head.

...or a depressing song.

"AaaaauuuGGGHHH!!"

I angrily scratched my head with both hands in a frustrated manner as if it would shake away the problem. I now layed face up on my guest bed with my hair out of it's ponytails and sprawled out around me as I stare at the ceiling in thought.

How in the hell was I suposed to tell Soul?!

There was a barely noticable, quiet tap on my door.

"M...maka?" Came the hesitant voice on the other side.

"You can come in, Tsubaki." I said as calmly as I could manage, as if I was absolutely fine.

The mentioned girl carefully made her way to sit on the edge of the bed I layed on, taking each step like she was walking though a mine field of some sort. She must've heard me shout and is now a bit nervous.

She didn't speak when she reached her destination, only stared at her hands that were clasped together on her lap in a mature manner.

I had already spilled to her earlier what was going on and surprisingly she wasn't too shocked.

Just worried.

After a long few minutes of nothing but silence, I decided that she had come to try and cheer me up but the poor girl didn't have the slightest clue what to say that would make anything better.

I tore my eyes from the slow spinning ceiling fan and looked over to her.

"You don't have to put up with me, you know." I said, not even knowing what I ment.

She turned to me, snapping back to reality.

"Huh...?"

I watched her for a moment.

"I can't stay here if I'm going to have a child." I said.

Her eyes widened a bit.

"You've decided to keep the baby?" She asked.

I shrugged.

"Not exactly. But I still have to tell Soul about this. See what he thinks." I said quietly.

Even though the words were directed to Tsubaki, I felt like I was telling myself to get up and go talk to Soul. Like I was explaining to myself.

"I can't go for abortion, that would be...horrible." I said trying not to think about it.

Tsuabki snapped me out of my own train of thought and piped up a question I hadn't even thought about.

"What if he wants to raise the child with you...?"

I became silent, my mouth still hanging a bit open from when I was about to speak but lost the words after she asked her question.

No.

We agreed we were just friends now.

I'm not going to be the kind of mother that only has her husband because she had a child. This child would not force me into a marriage and that's that.

"Then he'll just have to be satisfied with being a good uncle." I said finally.

Tsubaki watched me.

"And what about adoption?" She asked.

Adoption.

Now that might've been the best choice.

The baby gets a family to take care and love for it in my place, while I continue working towards my own goals. Goals like getting my own place.

"It may just come down to that. It seems the most apropraite." I hummed to myself.

Suddenly, I had remembered I had to go to work soon.

I sat up in the bed and began concluding our conversation. Once I was cleaned up and ready, I headed out, not feeling a bit at all like restocking shelves. I felt more like taking a hot bath while reading a book, pretending the world doesn't exist at the moment.

At least I'll be too busy working to worry about how this is all gonna work out.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

BEEPBEEPBEEP.

I glared at the dumb box of pasta as I ran it over the scanner again.

BEEPBEEPBEEP.

"Uh, sorry, one moment ma'am." I apologized to the customer before pulling out the walkie-talkie that all employee's carried on thier belts. It made me feel somewhat like a secret agent.

"Black*Star?" I called into it.

A moment later the fuzzy sound beeped back.

"YES, MAKA!!" I was so used to his booming loud voice on this electronic, I had already made sure the walkie-talkie was an arm-length away from my face just before he answered.

"I need you to come check this box of spagetti for me." I sighed.

The customers waiting in line began to look impatient. I inwardly groaned.

"ROGER." I could already hear his feet hitting the ground as he was sprinting on the opposite end of the market.

I began trying to scan the box again with no avail, just when I heard my name. Only, it wasn't Star...

{an: *que drumroll xD*}

"Maka...?"

I looked over my shoulder to see quite a pleasent surprise. I smiled crept on my lips as I said the name.

"Kid!"

The last time I had even seen Kid was graduation, the year before. I could still remember his friends Liz and Patti making a scene during the ceremony. Liz was balling her eyes out about how she was going to miss everyone and Patti was screaming happily and dancing while Kid made a fuss over how unsymmetrical his graduation cap was.

I had made sure to have everyone write their number's in my yearbook and put my number in their's as well. I called a few friends here and there, but the only person to have called me on their own was Kid.

Though, to be honest, it had been a good few months since we'd last spoken.

Now here he was, smiling in a shocked-yet-happy way. He was carrying a basket of a few items that had a duplicate on the opposite side of the basket, all aranged symmetically. Guess he hasn't changed.

"Maka! Goodness, it really is you!" His smile growing by the second.

"Heh, yeah, bet you wouldn't geuss seeing me working here, huh?" I laughed nervously.

Hopefully he wouldn't think I was too pathetic for bagging groceries in the town super market.

"I suppose my bet would have been on Librarian or something of the sort, but then again, people can be surprising." He said, the smile never leaving his face. It was cotagious. I could feel the corners of my mouth pinching up just by looking at him.

I was about to try and make conversation when Black*Star crashed into my back from stopping his pace tooo late, almost making me fall over. I couldn't help but throw him a glare over my shoulder while he just smiled like he did something to be proud of.

"What was my time?!" He beamed.

"Too soon..." I mumbled so quietly I didn't even hear the words leave my lips.

"AUH! Kid!"

"Hello, Black*Star. Good to see you again."

For some reason, Kid didn't seem as happy when greeting Black*Star. I took the moment to sink back and grab the box of pasta.

"Here," I held it out to Black*Star. "It won't ring up."

He took the box like a king just handed him a quest.

"Alright!" He even saluted me before practically jumping on the conveir belt to solve the problem.

I heard Kid chuckle to himself and I gave him a look asking what was so funny.

He smiled, "He is like a child with ADD. I find it amusing."

"Oh," I kind of laughed as well. "Funny, he's my boss."

Kid snorted, which I couldn't help but find adorable. "People can be surprising." He repeated his earlier line.

"MAKAaaa! I got it through!" Black*Star waved the box in the air while the lady who had been waiting in line stood impatiently annoyed.

"Oh." I said, hearing my voice sound disapointed. "I should get back to work."

"Right. Hey, do you supose, maybe..."

"Young lady, I'd like to leave this market today if you don't mind." One of the customers complained.

"I'm sorry, one second."

Kid began to look embaressed, probably feeling it was his fault for keeping everyone waiting.

"Perhaps I could just call you sometime...?" He managed to get out.

I smiled happily answering "Of course! Oh, but my number's changed for now."

I tugged a pen out my pocket and began scribbling Black*Star and Tsubaki's home phone.

"This number looks familiar." He commented once I handed to him.

"Uh, I'm sorta living with Tsuabaki and Black*Star for now." I blushed slightly.

He looked like he wanted to ask a million and one questions but I knew the sight of impatient customers over my shoulder told him to wait until later.

"Is later tonight a problem?" He quickly asked.

"Not at all."

"Then I will call around 9, okay?" His smiled came back.

"Can't wait." I smiled back just as happily.

"What's taking so long??" Another person commented.

I straitened up quickly truning to leave before waving goodbye to Kid and went back to the upset customers. Black*Star had already gone back to work and now I had at least 6 people in a line waiting for me.

I couldn't help but feel excited though. It had been so long since I had a spoken to Kid. And he was going to call me tonight!

But of course, reality hurts when I realized I would also have to call Soul tonight and tell him the news. I just hoped he would take it ok...

A/n: I'm so sorry everybody, you all know how school gets and dealing with real life takes up all my free time, but at least it's finally here. Oh and to give everyone a heads-up,.......................... THE PAIRING IN THIS FIC IS NEVER FOR CERTAIN.

Please be open to different couples then what your used to, it may be a SoulxMaka, then again, it may not! I might be interested in seeing what pairing you all are rooting for though, just to get an idea of what kind of crowd I'm dealing with here.
