AN: And once again I left it in a cliffy! I´m mean, I know, and I love it! Anyway, I´ll have to make it clear at this point since I´ve forgot earlier, Rei had always visited his sensei´s friend who is a doctor and he doesn´t work in a hospital, but a small clinic that doesn´t have all the expensive thingies that normal hospitals do! Okay if you´re smart enough to read this, you won´t be too confused at the end of the story.

On with the story!

--

Rei kept staring at the floor.

Water and blood. The blood wasn´t supposed to be there. And neither the water! It was only seventh month!

Rei started panicking as he stood up from the couch. "Oh God…Wha…Where..?" He couldn´t think clearly. "Kai…I need to get Kai…" He kept saying that like a mantra. Rei didn´t even noticed his knees were failing him and he soflty fell to the floor. "I…I have to…"

"REI!"

Hilary shrieked as she walked in with the White Tiger team.

"Rei, snap out of it!" Mariah said and slapped him across his cheek. Rei blinked a few times and focused his eyes on them. "You…" He breathed.

Mariah sighed for relief. "You dope, you almost gave us a heart attack! Why are you sitting on the middle of the floor and saying you need to get Kai?"

Rei gasped. He had to get Kai!

"The baby…" He said quetly. Hilary was panicking now. "What about the baby?! Are you ok?!" She asked. Rei couldn´t get the words come out of his mouth so he just pointed infront of the couch.
Everyone fell silent. They saw the water and blood.
"Rei, it´s too soon…" Lee gasped.

"No time for that, we need to get him to the hospital!" Mariah said sternly. She nodded Gary to pick Rei up.

"Lee, you go and find the others and tell them what happened." Hilary said. "We´ll take Rei to the hospital." Lee nodded and ran from the door as Mariah went and called an ambulance.

Mariah and Hilary were let to go with Rei to the delivery room. They had already explained the doctor the situation and Rei being a Neko-Jin. Luckily the doctor understood even though she was confused at first.

"Now Rei, I need you to be calm. It´s not good for the child." The doctor said calmly. Rei nodded slightly. He was terrified for the baby and for himself. It was too early as Lee had said. Rei had hard time to keep the tears away.

"We are going to do the C-section, do you know what that means?" She asked. Rei nodded again. His own doctor had told him how they were going to get the baby out. "It won´t hurt at all, but you´ll be awake while the operation, so it´ll be kinda scary for you. How are you feeling now?"

Rei shrugged. He honestly didn´t know. He didn´t think that this would be so scary. He had had a few nightmares where this would happen or the baby would be born without legs or something like that, but this was too much right now.

"Doctor. There´s some kids who say they know the patient." A nurse said quietly, but Rei heard it.
"Is one a tall, double-colored hair, red eyes?" Hilary asked suddenly. The nurse blinked a few times before nodding. Hilary smiled and then turned to Rei. "Rei, Kai´s here. Would you like him to come?" Rei sniffed and nodded. Hilary nodded as answer. "Could you let him in. He´s the father." She said to the doctor. "You can´t all be here…" She started. "No, no, no! We´ll leave! Just let him be here." Mariah quickly said. The doctor nodded. "Okay get the boy in and the ladies out." She said. "We have to do this fast."

"What is taking so long…" Kai mumbled and walked circles. "Kai, you´re gonna burn hole on the floor if you don´t stop." Max said. "Well then I´ll walk circles in the hole." Kai shot back not planning to stop.

"Kai!" Mariah waved from the door of the room where Rei was. Kai stopped and looked at her. "You can go in now." She said. She didn´t have to tell twice. Kai was out of sight in a second. Mariah and Hilary walked out of the room and sat on the couch of the waiting room.

"Well, that was fast." Tyson said. "Is everything ok?" The girls shrugged. "Honestly we don´t know." Mariah said. "Lee obviously told you everything that happened back home, but the doctor said that they have to take the baby out now." Tyson gasped. "But why?" Max cried. "It´s not the time yet." "There´s something wrong with the baby." Hilary sighed. "It´s gonna be premature."
They all looked sad and hoped for the best. It would be awful if the baby was premie or still born…

--

"Rei? You´re boyfriend is here." The doctor smiled sweetly, still trying to calm Rei. Rei laughed a little. The thought that Kai was his boyfriend was too much. Though it would be perfect.

"Hey Kon. How´re you feeling?" Kai asked trying to sound casual, although he was just as scared as Rei right now. "I´ve been better." Rei laughed.

Kai stroked Rei´s hair softly, while the doctors operated. "You´re gonna be ok." He said quietly.

Rei started tearing up. "But it´s too soon…It´s not ready yet…" He sobbed. "Shh, it´s ok. It´ll be fine." Kai said trying not to listen. He knew that the child was in danger just as was Rei, but he tried to think positive. After all, he wouldn´t want his child or it´s mother to get hurt.

"Okay Rei, I need you to be as calm as you can. And remember to keep breathing.

Rei was crying now.

"Umm doctor?" A nurse asked. "Was this known?

AN: Was what known? Hahaa, it´s a shorty! But in the next chapter you´ll see what happened in the surgery…
