PLEASE READ THIS AUTHOR NOTE -

a/n: THIS FREAKING CHAPTER WAS SO HARD TO WRITE. I thought (after reading other Zed x Syndra fanfics as well as the comic 'Zed and Syndra's ordinary life') I couldn't not include the Kinkou, it would be impossible to get a good story going by itself, IMO. I'm undecided on whether to include the Ionian council - Irelia, Karma and their 'friends' Yi, Lee Sin etc.. Or whether I should leave that for a season 2 of this fan fic. And no, I'm not saying I'm ending this soon, because hell, I love writing this fan fic, but I want YOUR opinions. Let me know in the reviews pls!

Elsewhere in Ionia, a separate, enemy group of ninja's were waiting on word from the leader of their clan, the Kinkou. It was the middle of the night, and Shen and Akali were on their way to the hospital ward in their camp, she was heavy in labour.

"Shen, it hurts so much!" Akali cried.

"I know Akali, please compose yours-"

"COMPOSE MYSELF?" She grabbed him by the collar.

"How about YOU fucking compose yourself!?"

It was very rare to hear Akali swear, or even speak to Shen in the way that she did as they both respected and loved each other equally. He held the heavily pregnant Akali in his arms, carrying her all the way across the camp, he was running by this point. As they passed the tents of sleeping Kinkou members, many of them woke up to the sounds of Akali screaming in pain. People rushed out of their tents in a hurry, trying to see if their leaders were in danger.

"Master Shen! Is she alright!"

"Yes, she is in labour!"

They gasped with delight, and followed Shen to the hospital ward. A crowd of people were now following him, and surely enough, he was met by his nurses and doctors at the ward who took Akali in their arms and carried her to a room.

They had been set at this camp for many years now, and so the hospital was an actual building as opposed to a tent. It seemed Zed gave up on trying to find them in their main camp, and for years, he picked off the smaller groups of the Kinkou in an attempt to weaken their forces, and it worked. The most recent attack was seven weeks ago, but it was a tragic loss for the Kinkou, it was their second biggest camp, which housed not necessarily the best men, but the most.

The doctors placed Akali on the medical bed, the nurses quickly followed with a big, poofy pillow and placed it under her back and neck. It was times like this, Akali wished they had gas and air.

"Akali, on three, I want you to push, ok?" The nurse said. Shen walked into the room, and rushed to be by Akali's side, sliding through everyone there, altogether, there were two doctors and three nurses. Shen reached for Akali's hand, and she did the same.

"One, two, three! Push Akali!"

"Gahhhh!" She tightened her grip on Shen, he felt a small crack, and then a surge of pain.

"Akali! You broke my hand!"

"I don't give a shit Shen! I will never forgive you for thiiiiisss!"

Everyone laughed, including Akali. She was breathing even heavier by this point.

"Push Akali!"

She carried on pushing the baby out, still screaming as the nurses coaxed her on.

"I can see the head!" Another nurse called.

"Come on Akali, you're doing great! Almost there!"

And just like that, it was over. A baby could be heard crying.

Akali exhaled heavily, and breathed in heavily. Shen lowered himself to her head, gently planting a kiss to her forehead.

"Well done, my love. Well done." He murmured to her.

"You two!" One of the nurses called. They looked at her, she had a tiny baby wrapped up in a blue cloth in their arms, he was no longer crying, and had been cleaned up.

"Congratulations to a beautiful baby boy!"

Shen slowly walked over to the nurse, completely bewildered about the tiny human in her arms. He held his arms out, and the nursed passed him over. All Shen could do was look down at the little baby who was looking straight back at him with his beautiful green eyes.

"You two should be proud. She did very well. We'll leave you two in peace, let us know if you need anything ok?"

He nodded, still looking down at the baby, he felt tears beginning to well up in his eyes as he turned around to Akali. She moved to one side of the bed, and held out her arms to Shen, and he passed the baby over. He climbed onto the bed, and held Akali in a cuddle.

"Oh my god Shen.." She whispered.

"He's.. Perfect.." He replied.

They sat close and admired the new life before them. Neither of them moving, just breathing, and crying silently.

"What shall we call him?" He sniffed.

"Shen.." He looked at her.

"Why.." She sighed.

"Why don't we name him after you father?"

His eyes widened at the words, and more tears began to form. Akali loosened one arm and wiped Shen's eyes with her finger.

"You want to call him Raiden?" He said quietly.

"Yes."

"Oh, father.. This is our sign of respect."

They held Raiden together. Akali snuggled her head into Shen's neck as he moved his knees up to hers. They sat there for a few hours, making the most of this precious and peaceful time that they rarely had together. Today marked a new lease of life for Shen and Akali.

Meanwhile...

"Zed! Oh my goddd!"

"Ohhh, Syndra!"

She was lying on the bed in their room, and Zed was on top of her, thrusting harder and harder into her each time. They had moved themselves from the bathroom to the bedroom after much teasing. They decided to leae the shower for now, as tomorrow was their day off.

Zed was hunched over Syndra, her legs were pressed up against his. He was cupping her face as she had her arms wrapped around his neck. He leant in for a deep kiss whilst he still thrusted his throbbing cock into her tight, wet pussy.

The kiss silenced both of them from loud kinds of sexual moans, but both of them still moaned into each other's mouths.

"Zed.. I love you!"

"I love you too Syndra!"

Zed could feel his balls tightening, likewise, Syndra felt her womanhood begin to throb, they were both about to orgasm. He sped up his thrusting pace, knowing that he was about to cum, releasing his load into her. She began squirming under him, unable to control anything she was doing anymore. Her mind was swimming in pleasure, and the only thing she could concentrate on was Zed, and Zed alone.

"Z-Zed, I'm going to.."

She screamed with pleasure as her orgasm came, her whole body writhed in pleasure as she grabbed the bed sheets with one hand, and dug nails into Zed's back with the other. He followed seconds afterwards and groaned, releasing his hot, sticky cum into Syndra's pussy. He lay on top of her with his head resting on her boobs, they both breathed heavily, almost in sync. She moved her hands to his head, and begun to stroke his flowing white hair.

"Syndra?" Zed's voice was a soothing whisper, he moved himself up the bed, leveling his head with hers. They turned on their sides and faced each other.

"Yes?"

"I know we've only been together for two months or so but.. Oh where do I begin.."

She giggled.

"Zed, what are you trying to say?" She questioned with a smile.

"What I'm trying to say is.. I love you, Syndra, and I don't think anyone else in my life would ever be able to compare to you. You've not only taught me a lot about fighting, or using new powers, but you also taught me a lot about myself."

"About yourself? What do you mean?"

"You know how I told you about Shen, and the order I used to be a part of?"

"Yes."

"For years, my heart was full of hatred and resent. I referred to Shen's father as my own, as he took me in, looked after me and raised me as his own, but he never favoured me, even after I beat Shen in combat. He would dismiss it as 'Shen is tired from training' or 'I distracted him'. I only bested Shen a handful of times, but Raiden never accepted it, I despised him for this.." Zed was becoming frustrated and angry with each passing second.

"... And so I used the Box of Shadows to defeat Shen completely. The old fool knew I used shadows and banished me. I returned here years later after some of my order had joined, and we overthrew them. I killed Shen's father, and threw his severed head at Shen. But that meant no end. For years, he taunted me about never being able to be loved, or never being able to have a family because I was an orphan, and because I couldn't beat him without using a technique.. And you came along, even though I was trying to kill you.." He giggled nervously. ".. You've taught me how to love, and how to.. Be at peace with myself. I understand that I can't be blamed for not being able to beat Shen, not only was he older than me, he was more extensively trained an-"

"Zed.." Syndra looked sad. She moved her head closer to his, and they both closed their eyes.

"You have me now.. And look at the order, as powerful and strong as ever. Don't worry about Shen."

He pressed his lips to hers, and pulled her in closer by the waist. They both lay there for some time, gently stroking each other in an attempt to calm down. They opened their eyes, and let go of the kiss.

"But, why were you near me on that day? If you're the master of the order? You told me yesterday that you don't take assassination contracts, the lower brigades do that. It's been irritating me.."

"Well, we were on our back to the order."

"From where?"

"One of Shen's camps."
