Leorio's POV
Kurapika's fever still haven't gotten down. If we weren't worried about the Spiders going after her, I would have taken her to a hospital to might sure she and the baby are okay. But right now we've hiding her while hoping her fever would break so. I was now checking up on her again. "Her heartbeat is abnormal. It doesn't seem to be a common fever caused by fatigue or a cold." Melody told me.

"I see..." I said.

"If the fever doesn't break today, you should take her to the doctor." Said Zepile.

"No, we can't... The Phantom Troupe will be on the lookout for her. Kurapika is not the only one being targeted, Gon and Killua are also."

"Kurapika!" Melody said suddenly. I turn to see that Kurapika had gotten up, she seemed scared.

"Kurapika!"

"Kurapika!" I didn't know what was going on, but I managed to calm her down and have her fall back asleep.

"What's going on with Kurapika?"

"I'm not sure, but she seems to be more comfortable this way." Melody said as Kurapika is sitting against the wall. "Her heartbeat is steady now, and her fever seems to be going down."

"Really? It doesn't look that way to me. She looks like she's completely ignoring us, and fighting against something on her own."

"What do you mean by "something"?"

"Beats me... And the baby, how is it?"

"It's okay, I actually think it's happy because of your voice."

"Really?"

"Yeah." 'It good to know that our child is alright. And I really loved hearing that.' After Gon and Killua left for the auction, Kurapika started talking again.

Kurapika's POV
"What time is it?" I asked as I got up.

"It's two o'clock on the sixth." Melody answered.

"The sixth..."

"You still have a fever, so you should be resting."

"What about her? What happened to the boss? What happened to the underground auction? Was the boss satisfied?"

"Kurapika, get back to bed."

"But-" I stopped and fell to my knees when I felt a tight pressure in my stomach.

"Kurapika! Leorio, come in here! Kurapika is in pain!"

"What?!" Leorio said as he ran into the room. Melody helped me get back into bed, and the pain had passed. "Kurapika where are you feeling the pain?"

"I was feeling it around here." I said as I place my hand on my stomach. "But don't worry about it. It's gone now."

"I'm gonna stay by your side because I think it may come back. And if it does that would mean that you're having contractions."

"Contractions...? Leorio, I can't be going into labor! My due date is the fifteenth, over a week from now. It's too early!"

"Kurapika, babies can born to a month early and they end up completely healthy. So if you're worried about the health of our baby, don't. Everything will be fine."

"Thanks Leorio." He then checks his watch. "Why are you checking your watch?"

"To see how apart your contractions are. But don't worry, when your next contraction I'll have you drink some water."

"Why?"

"To see it if your really going to labor or just having Braxton Hicks."

"Braxton Hicks? What's that?"

"They're practice contractions, pretty much false labor. It's just your body getting ready for childbirth."

"I hope that's what it is. Because I don't think I'm-" The tight pain came back again. "Crap! It's back!"

"Okay Kurapika, just drink some water." Leorio gave me a glass, but the pain didn't not stop after drinking it all.

"It isn't helping!"

"Then you're really going into labor."

"What?!"

"Just breath, Kurapika. Melody, get some towels and some hot water."

"Okay." Melody said as she left the room to room.

"Take me to the hospital!" I yelled.

"I can't."

"Why not?!"

"Because the Phantom Troupe might still be looking for you. And even if they weren't, I still can't because they wouldn't admit you until your contractions are four minutes apart."

"And how far apart are they now?"

"Nine minutes. So it will just be a few hours."

"Hours?!"

"It will be okay, I'll be right here holding your hand. Now take deep breaths. Inhale, and exhale, inhale, and exhale." I took the deep breaths, and to my surprise they actually did help.

"I'm really happy that you're in medical school. Because you know what you're doing." Another contractions comes, and I squeeze Leorio's hand has hard as I could.

"Ahh!" Leorio yells at the pain I was causing. "Take it is, Kurapika. You might break my hand."

"I'm trying to get a baby out of my vagina! I think you can handle a broken hand!"

"You do have a really good point." Her eyes turned scarlet. "I can see you're getting mad. Which is good, because anger is good useful energy. It helps move things along faster, so just let it all out."

"Maybe I should just beat the hell out of you." Contraction. "Not again!"

"See! The anger is helping, you're contractions are now eight minutes."

"You're a bastard for doing this to me!"

Gon's POV
The auction was three hours long. But that wasn't what I was thinking about. "Damn it! That's irritating! I'll definitely pass!" I yelled.

"But what that bearded guy said is true." Said Killua.

"What do you mean?!"

"Don't snap like that. We've just been doing Ten and Ren everyday right? I was thinking that it's about time we move up to the next level."

"The next level...?"

"Know Ten. Learn Zetsu. Gain Ren. Attain Hatsu. Hatsu! In other words an Ultimate Technique. When Kurapika learned Nen he was at about the same level as we were. But the reason he was able to fight at the same level as the Phantom Troupe was his Ultimate Technique. Of course, he's taken some life threatening risks because of that. But... it shouldn't be like that for us."

"Kurapika took on a heavy oath, to gain an almost invincible power against the Phantom Troupe."

"We have to attain it on more lenient terms. But if the risks are too low we won't be able to use strong techniques. Not too heavy yet not too light, matching your abilities, and practical to use. Think of that kind of technique."

"Yeah-" We both hear a big scream, it sounded like it was Kurapika.

"Kurapika!" We both yelled as we ran to where she was. There was a sign that says "Do not enter".

"Kurapika, are you okay?! We just heard you scream." I said as I knock on the door. Then Melody came out.

"Kurapika is okay." She said.

"Are you sure? We just heard her screaming."

"Well... For those who have been through this experience, it's normal to scream and curse."

"I bet death is more welcome than this!" Kurapika yelled from the other side of the closed door.

"What's going on in there?" Killua asked.

"Don't worry about that, just wait. We'll get you as soon as it's over." Melody then went back into the room.

"Kurapika, I hope you're really okay." I said.

"Well, all we can do right now is wait."

Kurapika's POV
This pain, I just wanted it to stop. The contractions were now constant. "Kurapika, you fully dilated now. It's time to start pulling." Leorio told me.

"Leorio, I'm scared. I don't think I can do this." I said.

"You can. Many women do this all the time. But no normal person can't take down the strongest member of the Phantom Troupe. You can do anything." After awhile of pushing, the end was in sight. "Alright, just a little more." I scream as I push with all my might. I then felt a big wave a relief as cries rang in the room. "It's a girl." I just couldn't help but cry hearing that. My baby is born now. My little girl. "What do you want to name her?"

"Karuhi."

"That's perfect. I'll go get Gon and Killua, I'm sure they'll want to see this. And don't worry, I'll explain everything."

"Thank you."

Leorio POV
"Is Kurapika okay?!" Gon asked as soon as I enter the room.

"Yes, she's alright."

"Then let's go see her-"

"Before you do, there are somethings you need to know first."

"What is it?" Killua asked.

"Kurapika was pregnant."

"What?!" They both yelled.

"You can't be serious, old man." Said Killua.

"How could Kurapika be pregnant?" Gon asked.

"She was pregnant. Not anymore." I told them.

"Wait. So the sound of her screaming was her giving birth?" Killua asked.

"Yeah."

"And... It's yours, isn't it."

"Yeah."

"Why did Kurapika put herself in danger by going after the Phantom Troupe?!"

"Because she didn't know she was pregnant until a few days ago."

"I see..."

"I want to see the baby!" Gon yelled.

"Alright then." I said. We enter Kurapika's room and she was holding the small child with my brown hair in her arms, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Aw! So cute!" Gon said as he looked at the baby.

"Yeah, it really is." Said Killua.

"Guess, I'm sorry for not telling you about my baby." Said Kurapika.

"It's okay." Said Gon. "It's actually a good thing you didn't. Or the Phantom Troupe would have known."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. My baby will be safe from those spiders. My little Karuhi."
