Here's the next chapter! Nothing much to say so enjoy!
Lal gritted her teeth as she looked out the window, seeing buckets of rain being poured down onto the city. There was a meeting today (Again? Reborn still hasn't toned it down...) and in that weather... Could they make it? Lal worried as strong hands wrapped around her 9 and a half months pregnant belly.
"whatcha thinking about kora?" Colonello rested his head on Lal's shoulder.
"The storm Colonello. What are we going to do about the meeting?" Lal walked over to the TV, switching it on.
"We have confirmed that a hurricane is on its way inland. Please remain inside, and do not go outside unless you want to be blown away..." The weather reporter shouted, over top of the howling wind. Lal sighed, and shut off the TV.
"It looks like we won't make it." Lal glanced at Colonello, who didn't seem the least bit worried.
"Relax Lal. Reborn would have probably called off the meeting-"Colonello tried to reply, but was cut off.
"Who would call off a meeting?" A familiar voice came from the wall. Startled, The couple both turned and stared in silence, as they watched a part of the wall sink down into the ground, and Reborn stepped out.
"Ciaossu." He greeted tipping back his hat.
"Reborn you bastard! When did you build a secret tunnel to our house?" Lal lunged for Reborn, but was held back by Colonello.
"Calm down Lal kora! You're going to hurt yourself!" Colonello shouted as Reborn stepped inside.
"At any rate, you'll be able to get to the meeting" Reborn smirked, and turned around to continue into the tunnel.
Lal, grabbing her cloak, followed Reborn as Colonello caught up closely behind. They continued down the tunnel in silence, halting when reborn stopped in front of metal sliding doors. The doors automatically opened, and Colonello and Lal found all the other arcobaleno already seated.
"Oh, look who's here." Mammon commented indifferently, as Fong sipped tea.
"Everyone's already here kora?" Colonello asked as he and Lal took a seat on the only empty couch.
"Obviously. We were all waiting for you." Verde sneered as he closed his laptop, waiting expectantly for Reborn to take a seat.
"So, in this meeting, I wanted to talk to you about Lal's er... Special condition." Reborn stated as Lal's eyebrows shot straight into the air.
"Reborn! What are you doing! You said you wouldn't-!" Lal suddenly stood up, glaring daggers at Reborn.
"I said I wouldn't say anything until the time is right, and now it is. It's been nine months already right? You're close. And besides, I asked Colonello's permission." Reborn snapped back, as Lal fell back onto the couch, stunned.
"You? You authorized this?" Lal growled at Colonello, as he backed away slightly.
"Wait Lal! I can explain kora! It's just that-"Too late. Lal already grabbed Colonello's collar and started slapping him repeatedly on the face.
"You total idiotic jerky..." Lal hissed as all the other arcobalenos winced, feeling really sorry for Colonello, watching his face go left, right, left, right. It's been a while since Lal had slapped anyone like that, and it's bound to be painful.
"I couldn't help it kora! I just..." Colonello muttered as Lal released him, rubbing his cheek.
"So, can someone tell us what's wrong with Lal already? I can't make any money here." Mammon grumbled, tapping his fingers impatiently.
"It's not really something wrong with Lal, but well, it's sort of hard to explain... She's-"Fong was cut off by an indignant hey from Lal. Everybody's heads turned as they saw Colonello whip Lal's cloak off her shoulders, revealing her secret for all to see. Blushing with a scowl on her face, Lal grabbed back her cloak from Colonello's hands, and covered herself, feeling exposed.
"Colonello, I swear I will kill you." She growled, as everybody's (Except Fong and Reborn's) Jaws dropped to the ground.
"L-Lal sempai's p-pr-pre" Skull managed to stutter out before he fell to the ground from shock. Lal snorted, and shook he head.
"Well, it really shouldn't have come as much of a shock. Everybody knows that Lal and Colonello have done some unspeakable things together." Mammon said without any surprise, receiving an indignant Hey! And Kora! from Lal and Colonello.
"How many months?" Verde looked interested.
"Nine and a half." Lal blushed as Colonello put his arm around her, but being slapped away.
"When's the due date?" Fong asked, sipping tea.
"It should have been last week, but knowing Colonello's child, they'll probably be a week late." Lal glared at Colonello, who laughed lightly.
"Hey, Lal, did you spill some water? There's water running down your leg." Mammon noticed, as Lal gave him a funny look.
"NO, I don't have any wa-oh!" She gave a little gasp as she collapsed onto Colonello's arms, clutching her stomach, her face twisted in pain.
