Firedemon95- Heyo, my readers. This is the new chappie I promised. I hope you like it. In this chappie I've skipped a head a bit from where I left off. And as an added bonus I think I might just leave the spelling on Kanatrou's name. Mainly for the sake of the story. Why would I change the spelling this late in the game? So please try to refrain from commenting on that.

Kanatrou, Haruka, and Yoko sat in their tiny living room, a tray of tea and little snacks sitting in front of them. Their brows were furrowed as they debated over an open file.
"I think we should do this one." Yoko stated, pointing a rather girlie baby crib and matching bed set. Haruka looked at the photo and scowled.
"Like I'd let that happen to our son, Yoko." Haruka countered. Kanatrou sighed for the billionth time as he rubbed the exceedingly large growth that was his stomach.
"Come on, you two. We don't even know whether or not it is either a boy or a girl. So why not just get a neutral one?" Kanatrou suggested, pointing to a room that he had actually wanted the whole time. Haruka blinked before actually looking at the set. His scowling face had softened as he noticed the way Kanatrou was staring at the picture. He slowly scooted over to Kanatrou's side and placed a soft kiss on the side of his head.
"It's perfect." Kanatrou beamed at the response his lover had just given him. Yoko's face contorted at the sight of the two.

She stood up, her tongue sticking out in almost complete disgust. Still sticking her tongue out, Yoko grabbed the tray and hefted it up.
"I'm going to get more snacks." she remarked, walking away; not caring to notice if they were paying attention. She walked out of the room and set to work making more snacks. Haruka and Kanatrou were trapped in their own little world of bliss; even while Kanatrou snacked on the pile he had made before Yoko left. Kanatrou had just picked up a saltine cracker covered in peanut butter and honey when something shot up his spine. Instantly, he dropped the cracker and placed one hand on his stomach and the other on his lower back. His face twisted in on itself and his teeth clenched tightly together. Quickly, noticing his change in behavior, Haruka placed his hand on Kanatrou's upper back and began rubbing small, soothing circles between his shoulder blades.
"Yoko!" Haruka bellowed.
"What? What is it?" she croaked, bursting into the room. She heavily gasped as she finally noticed what was going on with Kanatrou.

Yoko rushed over to his side and rested her hand on his shoulder. They listened as Kanatrou's breathing quickened and then slowed down considerably. Yoko wiped away the beaded sweat that had appeared on his forehead. Kanatrou breathed in one last breath before gently pushing them away.
"I'm fine, you two." Kanatrou beamed, hoping that would calm them down and stop their worry. Haruka frowned as he helped Kanatrou stand up.
"You're not alright. Did you not see the way your face was contorted in such pain?" he angrily asked. "How many times?" Kanatrou looked at him curiously. Yoko sighed, seeing that Haruka's tactics weren't going to get them anywhere.
"How many times have you had to take a moment to let the pain pass, Kanatrou?" she asked, cautiously.

Kanatrou placed his hand on the curve of his hip and lower back as he thought. His fingers slightly twisting the fabric of his clothing.
"Maybe two every thirty minutes." he replied. Haruka grabbed Kanatrou and pulled his almost too forcibly to their now shared room.
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?" Haruka growled, making Kanatrou lay down on the futon.
"I didn't think it was time." Kanatrou explained. Haruka sighed as he took a seat beside Kanatrou. Yoko came in minutes later with a pile of blankets and towels for any reason she could think of. After bringing in a few more things Yoko thought they needed the three of them sat/laid there waiting for anything to happen.

Everything seemed quiet as they switched sides so Kanatrou would be comfortable, until a larger shot of pain sprung throughout his body. Once again his teeth clenched tightly together, his eyes shut even tighter, and his face contorted even more. The pain was becoming more and more unbearable. Haruka thought and thought as he tried to remember the ritual Sugino had told. The only way to get the baby safely out; without harming the male barer. He racked his brain, but couldn't find anything. He was too concerned for Kanatrou and their unborn child. Haruka remembered that if the ritual wasn't performed the correct way he could end up losing Kanatrou, or the baby, or both of them. That wasn't a risk he was willing to make, so he continued to search for what he needed. Oh, why hadn't he written it down?

Firedemon95- Huh? A cliffhanger? Oh NO! Ehehehe. I couldn't help myself. Alright. Before I continue the birth I want you guys to decide whether it's going to be a boy or a girl. I hope to hear your input! Thank you and please review. Also remember any more comments on the spelling of characters' names will result in ending of the story. THANK YOU!
