Disclaimer: I don't own -man, though it'd be really nice if I did.
Author's Note: Good thing for 4 day weekends or I wouldn't have been able to finish it today. Note that in the story, Allen's 9 months are done, and he's due soon. Unfortunately, I'm still beta-less. But that can't (it won't, either) stop me from writing new chapters. Happy reading.

Ark
Allen waS sitting on his bed. He was incredibly bored, since Lulubell said he wasn't able to move anymore. Forte, though trying his best, was becoming less entertaining as well. He tried his best though, considering what Lulubell had said, to not use the call box. Though he was as bored as he was, he didn't want to trouble the others in the Ark.
Thankfully, the others had seen his efforts, and tried to entertain him as best as they could. Road brought in sweets often, and Allen found himself liking them more and more. Tyki would spend as much time with him as he could. A smile played on Allen's lips. Tyki had become so supportive and caring when he found out that Allen was pregnant. It was sweet.
Even the Earl had come by occasionally, bringing him books to read, or telling him about his travels around the world. This fascinated Allen, as he could somehow relate to the Earl, he himself traveling around with Mana and the circus troupe they were with. Andof the travels he had had with his Master, though those weren't as pleasant. The places the Earl had gone to, such as Egypt, were vast in their culture, and it was one of Allen's favorite places to study about. Noticing this, the Earl had kindly given Allen books and trinkets from and about Egypt.
But now they were preparing for the second war with the Black Order. Allen, in a way, considered himself lucky, being pregnant. That way he didn't have to fight against everyone. Though that left him completely bored, bringing him back to where he was now.
He could understand that everyone was busy, preparing for the war, but since he ewas confined to his bed, he didn't have anything to do.
He sighed, knowing that complaining to himself would be useless; he would just have to bare with it, considering he should be due any day by now. And once the baby came, he would have plenty to do.
Leaning back so that he was staring up at the ceiling, Allen put his hand on his stomach. He could feel the baby movin around a bit; he smiled, once again wondering once again what gender it might be. He already come up with numerous names for a boy or girl; it was just a matter of seeing what the baby had looked like to give the name.
Sighing, Allen made sure that the black communicator was within reach and on, before he decided to sleep. When he would sleeo, it would be for certain lengths of time. Apparently, though he wasn't aware of it until he was told, the longest he had slept without being disturbed was for two weeks. Nobody had any idea how this had happened, but it worked out; he would be able to sleep, (something he started to enjoy a lot lately) and not disturb or annoy anyone. Also, he didn't have to eat anything, either, despite his parasitic innocence.
Making sure he was comfortable, Allen prepared to sleep without disturbance until the baby decided to come. Allen knew that Forte would tell everyone that he was sleeping, and that he shouldn't be disturbed unless it was an emergency.
With a peace of mind, Allen fell asleep, oblivious to what was happening then, and what would come in the future.

Black Order
It had been a brutal two weeks as the Black Order was preparing for the battle with the Earl and the Noah. The Earl had already sent out groups of Akuma to attack the Exorcists, trying to weaken them earlier on in the second war.
Currently, a group of Exorcists stood outside the Ark of their enemies. This group contained Kanda, Lenalee, Lavi, General Cross, and Bookman.
"So this is where Allen is, huh." Lavi stated, though it seemed more like a question rather than a statement. The Ark was a complex building, which was currently floating in front of them, a little ways off.
"Yes, it is." General Corss said, his voice void of emotion. "And somewhere within there lies the Earl, and my idiot apprentice." Though neither his voice nor his expression showed it, Cross had been one of the people who had taken a lot of damage when he found out that Allen had left with the Noah. Though he knew about the 14th and how he was a part of the Noah, he was still upset, if you could call it that.
Nothing else was spoken as the group of Exprcists headed towards the Ark. Though they were slightly disheartened at what they saw when they got there.
All of the Noah, and the Earl, were waiting outside the Ark, as if they had been expecting this. If they hadn't known who their enemies were, the group of Exorcists might have assumed that they were just a group of people hanging out.
"Well, look at what we have here," The Earl said, his voice having a layer of mockery in it. "The pesky insects have finally arrived."

Author's note: It took me a while to decide, but I decided that I would continue on, rather thatn leaving you hanging. It wouldn't feel right if I did. :p There also may be language later on in the story so here's your head's up.

Allen's Room
Allen was suddenly awakened when he felt something... brake. He couldn't figure out what it was until he remembered what happened to pregnant women before they had their babies. Their water broke.
Allen paled quite considerably at the thought. He thought that it might just be paranoia, but then pain shot through his abdomen, making what he thought was paranoia, truth.
He cried out in pain as another contraction went through his body. He breathed short, ragged breaths as the contravtion started. He reached for the black communicator and spoke into it as clearly as he could.
"..Ty..ki.." Allen said as he felt another shot of pain went through his body again. He heard an explosion on the other end, and then he only got static.
"Damn," He swore. He knew that Tyki would probably be the only one who had it with him. And, since it was destroyed, he had to literally walk to the other side of the Ark, where the fight was taking place.
Gripping the black communicator, Allen slowly pushed himself out of bed. It was painful, but he managed to walk to the door. Once getting there, he opened the door and, taking it a few steps at a time, started the long trek towards the other side of the Ark.
It was not easy for Allen; it was a painful process that he would later on, once he got his strength back, make Tyki pay for dearly. He had to stop at times due to the contractions, though he was lucky that they weren't happening as often as they could.
Though it took an incredibly long time, Allen began to hear the explosions of swords being met, and insults being thrown this way and that. He would've chuckled if he weren't in such pain. This, unfortunately for those who would be on the receiving end, out Allen in an extremely cross mood. And when he was in this mood, you did not want to cross him. At all.
So, coming to the door and opening it, he found that everyone there was too busy concentratig on their fight. He looked for Tyki, and he found him fighting Kanda. Typical. Kanda was apparently fighting Tyki when he had come back with his new innocence. Allen had also 'gotten in the way' of their fight, so Kanda was probably going to finish it.
Allen considered letting them duke it out a little longer when he had another contraction. Remembering all his previous annoyance and anger, Allen threw it at Tyki with dead0on accuracy, and hit him square in the back of the head.

Kanda was most definitley surprised (even if he didn't show it) when Tyki had suddenly fallen on his face.
"Ow!" Tyki cried, bringing his hands to his head. This attracted the attention of the others, who momentarily paused their own fights to see what had happened.
"What the hell was that?" Tyki muttered, still holding his head. He looked down to see what had been thrown at his head. It was a black communicator.
Tyki went pale. "Oh shit," He said. The other Noah saw what it was and they sweat-dropped. This was most definitley going to end badly.
"Bastard," They heard someone hissed. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice to find one ver pissed-off Allen Walker. "You broke the damn communicator at the most inconvenient time." He hissed, breathing heavily.
The other exprcists were shocked at seeing their former teammate there, so they didn't try to comprehend what it meant. Though for Tyki, who understood, it was a completely different story.
At first, he was a bit confused. But when he saw Allen's face contort with pain, and go down to one knee, it clicked.
All of those who were watching, Noah, Earl, and Exorcists, saw Tyki's face go from pain into confusion, then into understanding, and then into a panic, almost frenzy.
"Lulubell, it's time. We have to hurry." Tyki ordered with a serious in his voice that any hadn't even heard before. Lulubell looked confused at first, but then everything clicked together, ans she sent a glare towards the Earl, one that consisted of an 'I-told-you-so' look, and a pissed off look.
"I told you this was going to happen, Earl." She scolded him, her voice cold. "Now look what had happened; he had to get out of bed in the critical state he's in." THat being said, the Exorcists looked at Allen fully for the first time.
His white hair had grown longer, going down to the middle of his back, and was loose. Even though he was on one knee, they all could tell that had become taller. But that's not what surprised them the most; what surprised them was the size of Allen's stomach. Lenalee was the first to realize it.
"Oh my god!" Her hands were raised and covering her mouth, and her eyes were wide. Allen had been pregnant, and he was due right now.
Taking action immediatley, seeing as though she had experience from delivering babies before, she rushed over to Allen. "I'll help, but we got to do this now; he's ready to deliver." There was an urgency in her voice, telling Lulubell that she was serious, and could be trusted for the moment. Lulubell nodded her head, and motioned to move Allen inside.
Tyki was already there, lifting him gently, as though he would break, along with Lulubell. With the strenght of the tow, they were able to carry Allen inside, and Lenalee shut the door behind them.
There was an involuntary silence and cease of action as Allen had gotten inside. It hadn't taken long for Lavi to figure out what had happened with Allen, and when he did, he flipped out.
"Oh my god!" Lavi cried, his hands on his head. The other Exprciosts looked at him. For some reason unknown to anyone but Lavi himself, Lavi turned towards Kanda nad started rambling.
"I can't believe this is happening. It's supposed to be pretty much impossible for males, but it happened anyway!" Lavi exploded. Ahh, Yuu!-" A dark lare was thrown at Lavi by said person. "-Our Allen's going to be a daddy!" And that's when it clicked for the other Exorcists there. Their expressions went from confused to that of pure shock.
Watching them, the Earl would've laughed except ofr the fact that it interrupted with his war. Lulubell had been right; it was incanny in his opinion, though there was nothing he could do to stop it. 'Well,' he grinned to himself, (though if you can tell the difference, it's beyond me) 'It will certainly be more entertaining in the Ark now with a newborn child born of two Noah.

What'd you think? I decided to cintinue on with the story instead of just leaving in there. I've had that certain scene stuck in my head since before I began the story. Only god knows how long. And this is probably the longest chapter I've written for any of my stories (I think) so please review!
