Saya groaned as she folded the last of her clothes into a suitcase. It would be soon that they would be going to help Kai settle in at Omoro. She rubbed her lower back. It had been paining her more and more as this pregnancy progressed. the stress of carrying two babies as well as caring for little Aiko was really getting to her. She smiled as she felt Hagi's hands massaging the sore area of her back. She groaned as relief flooded her system.

"Better?" he asked as he dug into the muscle that always ached the worst. She gave out a gasp and then a high groan that said, "Oh, yes!" He smiled in satisfaction as she melted to the bed and became putty in his hands. He heard her groan against the mattress, "Oh! To the left Hagi... no... a little... oooohh! Right there!" He chuckled as he kneaded her sore spot and then asked, "How does it feel now?"

Saya just groaned deeply in response. The pain in her back was slowly receding, and it was being replaced with another more intense feeling. Hagi slid his hands up and down her spine leaving a sensual trail of kisses up her spine. Saya shuddered from where she was leaned over the edge of the bed. She sighed as she felt the familiar tingle start to coil in her lower belly.

"Saya," he whispered in warning, "are you sure you want to?" His hands slid down her back and grasped her firm buttocks as she nodded in affirmation. He sighed as he felt his body respond in kind. He watched as she turned on her back and smiled at him while she began to unbutton her blouse. His breath caught at the sight of her swollen breasts and the belly that held their children. A brief thought that they weren't really his came to mind, but he dashed it away quickly as he helped her undress from the waist down.

Saya let out a small gasp as Hagi's hand came up to play with her nipple. He rubbed small circles into the swollen and tender flesh, causing her to groan with pleasure. It had been so long since she had felt his touch this way. Saya shuddered as he placed his hands on either side of her and ran his fingernails lightly up and down her skin. She reached up and cupped his face before running her fingers down his bare chest.

He groaned as her hand came to the waistband of his pants. His eyes went to the wall as he thought, "It's been so long. I don't know if I can hold back." Taking a breath, he regained control and continued his assault on her breasts before lying next to her and grazing his tongue over her swollen breast. Her groans of appreciation made him smile as he concentrated on where his touch caused the most reaction.

Saya gasped loudly as her right nipple was teased with Hagi's very talented tongue, as he rubbed her left with his equally talented fingers. Her breathing sped up and she became flushed as he trailed his hands down her belly, and let them lightly pet her cleft, teasing the tissue. Hagi groaned as she let her fingers trail up and down his swollen shaft. Hagi paused to regain control, and the he slowly began turning Saya onto her belly. He whispered, "On your knees."

She was shocked, but at the same time she felt very excited. Hagi was being assertive, rare for him. She obediently came to her knees and scrunched a pillow in her arms under her chest to rest her head on. She felt him rear up behind her and gasped at the sudden, powerful invasion that filled her all the way. Her breathing came in short gasps as he began to pull back and then fill her again. "Ahh!" she cried out. "Not so hard, Hagi!" She felt him slow down and then ask, "Am I hurting you?" She shook her head, "Just let me get used to it. Go slow."

Hagi nodded. He pressed in, slowly this time, as he realized the problem. Saya was tight because the babies took up so much space. Saya groaned as Hagi filled her, the feeling almost unbearable. She was stretched and taut, he filled her completely. She let out a low groan as he withdrew, and pressed in again slowly. Soon, The familiar coil started again deep in her belly. She gasped when his fingers came up to tease her nipple.

He suddenly pulled her onto her side as she gave a surprised yelp. He molded his front to her back and reached between her legs to guide himself into her. As he filled her again, he explained, "It will be more comfortable for you this way." His mouth found her warm neck as he placed a hand on her hip to steady her and began to rock in and out very gently. Oh, it felt so good to finally do this again. The sweet wonderful heat and friction was indescribable. He groaned as he moved a little faster, causing her to moan in ecstasy.

Saya rocked her hips in time with Hagi's thrusts. Her breath came in short, frantic gasps as he withdrew and pushed in again and again. She let her arms raise up above her head and grabbed a hold of his neck, using the leverage to pump against his hips. She cried out has he hit her magic spot, and spurred him into thrusting faster by increasing her pace. Hagi gasped when she reached down between their bodies to finger him. His control shattered.

He groaned as his head thrust back. It was almost more than he could bear- he was so close. Taking the lead again, he slowed the pace a bit and concentrated on finding that place. He shifted slightly and heard as she elicited a long groan. He smiled into her shoulder as he moved in and out slowly and groaned deeply. When he felt her begin tightening around him, he gave a quick thrust, causing her to cry out. He thrust again and felt the hot, wonderful throbbing as she shivered all around him.

Saya cried out as her orgasm exploded across the landscape of her mind. She closed her eyes and watched as the rolling colors of her ecstasy as she tightened and spasmed around him. She smiled through her haze as she felt him give one last deep thrust, and stiffen against her. As Hagi spilled his seed deep into her swollen belly, she sighed in contentment. Hagi collapsed behind her, withdrawing and turning her to face him. she put her hands around his neck and buried her face in his chest.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her. The feeling was wonderful, they were finally back to the way they started... before Solomon and Nathan took her from him and nearly shattered their relationship when they shattered Saya's heart. He pressed a kiss into her hair and pulled her closer to him. With a deep sigh, he completely relaxed as he felt her become heavier, a sign she had fallen asleep.

Saya awoke as the sun filtered through windows. Stretching, she glanced at the clock beside the bed. She panicked when she realized they only had an hour to get to the airport. Turning, she froze. Hagi lay next to her, his eyes closed and his breathing deep and steady. She blinked in disbelief. Hagi was...asleep? Saya realized that she didn't have time to contemplate the odd fact. She shook Hagi awake and said quickly, "We HAVE to go!" Hagi frowned and nodded. Soon, they were up and dressed.

Kai was downstairs, already packed and waiting with Aiko in her car seat. He was wearing a knowing grin, causing Saya's smile to falter a bit. "Not a word, Kai," she grumbled, knowing he had heard them. He really began laughing as he caught sight of Hagi. He was rubbing his eyes and his hair was even more ruffled than usual. He pulled a comb out of his pocket and handed it to the now slightly blushing chevalier. "You two have fun?" he teased.

Saya noticed Hagi's blush, and took the comb from him. After she had tied the mane of black hair into it's usual ribbon she sighed. "Time to go" she said, as she picked up Aiko's car seat. she headed toward the car, and climbed in next to Aiko's seat. Hagi followed and sat behind the wheel. Within an hour, Saya, Hagi, Kai, and Little Aiko were in the air.

After another uneventful flight, they arrived in Okinawa. Saya was complaining about her back. It kept spasming in the lower part and caused her to groan. Hagi placed all their luggage on a cart while he helped Saya to walk to the cab. Kai carried Aiko in her carseat while a helpful employee pushed their luggage to the waiting cab. Saya was nearly nearly in tears. Her back was hurting so much.

Hagi put his hands on Saya's abdomen. The next time Saya groaned, he stood quickly and turned to Kai. "Saya is having contractions," he said. "Where is the closest hospital?" Kai told him and it wasn't long before Saya was in the car. Hagi drove as fast as he could, and called Julia, who promised to meet them at the hospital. When they pulled up to the emergency entrance, Hagi carried Saya into the building, and made his way swiftly to the Labor and Delivery floor.

He was confounded by the strange paper outfit he had to get into, but he managed just fine. When he finally came into the delivery room, Saya was crying and tossing uncomfortably. He came to her side and began to lift her and place a pillow under her back. He noticed her look of confusion and told her, "It's me, Saya. They made me put this on." She nodded and fell back into the pillow as he squeezed her hand. Tears squeezed from her eyes and he reassured, "It will all turn out Saya."

Saya groaned as the nurse walked into the room with Julia, bringing an ultrasound machine with her. "I am going to check on the positions of the twins." she said, as she began to rub the lubricant onto Saya's belly. Julia sighed, and turned to Hagi. " One of the babies is breech so we are going to have to do a C-section" she said grimly.

Hagi nodded reluctantly as Saya was crying out from her next contraction. Something wasn't right, he could feel it inside. Julia spoke to the doctors and nurses as a blue sheet was being tented over Saya, blocking her view. He cradled her head in his arm and brought his forehead down to press against hers. "Stay calm, Saya. They are going to do a cesarean section. One of the boys hasn't turned. She nodded as she relaxed into the sheets. The doctor nodded to Hagi as he stood to look over the sheet. His brow furrowed as his eyes shot to Julia. Why wasn't she the one cutting Saya open?

Saya felt the pinch of a needle as someone inserted an I.V. soon, she wasn't feeling the contractions. Saya looked up at Hagi and smiled. Julia came to stand beside him as they started cutting into Saya's abdomen and explained, "This isn't my area of expertise." Hagi nodded. Within a matter of minutes, they heard a startled cry ring out through the room. One of the surgeons held the baby over the blue sheet and proclaimed, "It's a boy!"

They thought it would be immediate, but the doctor didn't show the second boy right away. Julia went to his side and helped him. In a few moments, he lifted the second baby and said, "You have two sons." Saya smiled through the haze of the drugs, but she still noticed the small cut already mending itself on her son's leg. She looked to Hagi to see his reaction. His brow was furrowed and her mind really couldn't grasp what was said. Whatever happened, it would be alright, her sons were now here and Hagi was by her side. She let the medically induced haze take her to peaceful oblivion.

Saya awoke in a different room. The lights were turned down low, and it was quiet and still. She groaned as her body awoke, and the stabbing pain in her abdomen reminded her of the days events. She turned at the movement in her peripheral vision. Hagi lay in a chair, his eyes closed. In his arms, he held two of the most beautiful creatures Saya had ever laid eyes on; their sons.

Julia appeared in the doorway and rapped gently on the frame. She smiled at the chevalier that now had his eyes open and Saya looking on them with adoration. "I just wanted to see how our little wounded soldier is doing?" Hagi immediately lifted the boy in his right arm and Julia looked at him quizzically. "How do you know this one is the injured baby?" she asked. When she pulled the blanket down, the bandage was there. The baby was quiet and just staring at her, reminding her of Hagi. She frowned as she thought, "They both look like Hagi, too. Not a trace of Solomon in either of them."

Saya gasped as she tried to sit up for the first time following her c-section. She still felt weak, but it was time to feed her babies. Hagi came in and held out the smallest, Akihiko to her. She dropped the corner of the gown and offered him her breast. The little one latched immediately and began suckling with earnest, causing Saya to laugh. Hagi sat in the chair next to the bed, holding his son, Naoya, his little arrow. He was still sleeping, and it was just as well, as Saya had not gotten the hang of nursing them both quite yet.

Julia noticed from the doorway, that Saya had quickly become accustomed to nursing. It would take a while to master doing it for two, but with time and patience, she'd get there. Julia was still bothered by the sight of the two small babies. Their eyes could have come from Hagi or Solomon as well as their skin tone, but their hair was jet black. She shook her head and figured she would just leave that thought alone. After all, it took them nearly a year to get over what had happened. Why bring their hopes up for just some theory, only to have them dashed if it turned out that Solomon was the father?

Two days had passed since Saya had given birth to twin boys. She was doing well, and they were glad to be going home. As Saya was getting dressed, she noticed that the line around her incision was getting really red. She passed it off, thinking it was a sign of the healing process as she got the baby's ready to go in the outfits she had brought for them. Once they were settled in Saya's arms, a nurse came in with a wheelchair to see them out.

Hagi smiled as he pushed her through to the foyer where Kai waited. He was never allowed to visit since he had to take care of Aiko and she was too young to be allowed in the room with Saya and the babies. He beamed proudly as he came to their sides. "You guys ready to go home?" Not waiting for a response, he headed out the door with the couple and their twins behind him. Three babies were strapped into their car seats in the back of the van before Hagi helped Saya into the passenger's seat and he climbed in the back. "Let's go home," Kai suggested.

Saya carried one of the twins into their home. They would stay with Kai for a few days while adjusting to the new responsibilities of parenthood. As Saya was changing Akihiko's diaper, she noticed that he had the same pink line on his leg where the scalpel had cut him. He had healed almost instantly, so Saya called Hagi over to inspect the red line. "Keep an eye on it," was all he said as Kai came in carrying Aiko and a bottle. "She misses you," he said, offering Saya the baby.

It was nearly a week that passed. Hagi had finished making breakfast when he heard a cry come from upstairs. The cry caused him to nearly leap from the table, causing Kai to growl a curse at the overturned glass of orange juice. Hagi had only had the boys for a week, but he knew those cries. It wasn't a cry of hunger or discomfort, it was a cry of pain. He arrived in the room and noticed Akihiko was screaming and red in the face as tears spilled down his tiny cheeks. Hagi brushed his hand over the infant and felt the warmth of a small fever, but what concerned him were the red marks of infection just under the skin of his leg. Saya was in the doorway as Hagi shot her a look of concern.
