Girl Trouble:
Chapter 10: Another AdditionThe day after the party, Killer was somewhat upset. It seemed that as time went by, then Endymion grew farther and farther away from her. She knew that he didn't want any children, but she also hoped that she wouldn't have to give up one for the other.
That day, she went to Endymion, and asked him, what was going to happen when the baby was born. Instead of answering with words, he just looked at her, and she took it as saying, 'I'm just going to be staying until then, and then I'll leave'.
That day, when she went on with everything else, she wondered if she should go and talk to her aunt Carnie. After she had eaten, and given Endymion his lunch, she decided that she would see if her Aunt was still at her fathers home. If so, she would ask her advice.
On her way over, she found that Shippou had lost one of his favorite tops, and couldn't find it, even with Inuyasha and Kagome's help.
Killer figured that she would be nice, and helped find it, after a few moments, then she was on her way again.
When she at last got to her parents house, then she wandered around, looking to see if Carnie was still there.
It turned out that she was, and so Killer told her what was going on, and asked if she should give up the child or her husband.
"Woll, be it a choice, mate, spare no quarter... ay, if ye must, though, let de' li'le one go, bless 'is 'eart... But, ye gotta keep yer men 'appy, wot, 'lest they rebel against ye' an' yer six thousand leagues seaward an' no sails, eh? He'll give in soon, lass!" Carnival told her, sitting in her favorite chair, with a jug of rum.
"But, I don't want to have to give up either of them. I don't even want to try. But I guess, if I did have to give up one or the other, then it would be the baby. I love Endymion to much." Killer told her, starting to cry.
"'eyeyeyey! Ain't gunna be none'o'that, naow, y'hear! Git youse rid 'those croc-ee-dile tears, bucko! I'm sure I c'd toss off a few mates'n'make room fer ya, an' yew'd be under me claw!" Carnival told her, starting to wonder if she would be able to stand the sea.
"I wouldn't be able to, I hardly know anything about boats, and what I do know, I learned from you. But I wouldn't be able to survive, simply because, I hate the ocean." Killer told her, starting to smile at the idea of her dressed like her Aunt.
"Aye, ain't but one true seagal demon, wot, an' I be her! Heh! Maybe if'n yew asked roight noicely I'd let yers on fer a bit! Ah, well, time to git me ducks strait! Ole' Elegy an' 'er buckies leave right soon, aye, an' me' ole tail's gots some leagues teh put rudder ways." Carnie told her, rising from her chair.
"Thank you for your advice, it should help a lot." Killer told her, rising as well.
"Eh, wot? Ah' 'course it's gunna work, mate! I ain't dun Commadored no fleet five hundred t'ousand years when somet'in I planned didn't work!" Carnie said, starting to smile even broader.
When she got back home, she found that Endymion had locked himself in his room, and wouldn't come out, so she ended up going outside and sitting by herself.
When it started to get dark out, then she went inside, and made dinner for them, and decided that she would go to bed afterward.
While they were eating dinner, Endymion, surprisingly enough, started talking to her, which hadn't happened much lately.
"Where did you go today?" He asked
"To visit my Aunt before she left." Killer replied.
"Did you have a nice visit?" Endymion asked, looking up from his plate.
"Yes, rather nice, actually, she gave me some advice on some problems that I have." Killer said, and in the tone of voice that she used, he knew that she didn't want to tell him what the problems were.
"Are you doing alright? I know I have not really been there for you lately, but I do regret that." Endymion told her, looking foolishly saddened.
"I'm fine, just tired. Its strange, lately, my energy has not left me until I sit down at night, and by then, I don't know if I've done to much or not, just simply because I think, well I'm not tired, so I must be able to go and do something else. All its doing is getting me annoyed." Killer told him.
After that, Killer was upset to see that he was quiet, from something that she had said.
The rest of the night, Killer didn't do very much, just sat around the house, mostly outside in her favorite tree. After a while, Endymion came out to talk to her, saw her in her tree, and noticed that she had not seen him yet. Usually when she didn't see him, she was busy thinking about something, so he decided that he would not bother her.
After some time, Killer looked around, and noticed that it smelt like Endymion, so she knew that he had come out, and then gone back in.
She slept outside that night, just simply because she sat there for some time, thinking, and fell asleep.
In the morning when she woke up, she found that Endymion had come outside again, so she went inside, to see what he was doing, and he was still sleeping, so she got in the bed with him, and just curled up beside him.
Killer did not know that he was not actually asleep, and so he just put his arm around her, and she moved closer, just breathing in his scent.
When it was time to get breakfast started, Killer got up and went into the kitchen, though she did not get very far. Halfway to the kitchen, she doubled over in pain, not knowing what was going on.
She figured that she was having contractions, but she did not know how long they should be apart to let her know if she was having the baby or not. She counted anyway.
When she found that the contractions were about eight seconds apart, then she figured that she was actually having the baby.
"Endymion! I need you right now!" She yelled, on the floor, and in pain more than she had ever been.
When Endymion came in, he saw her on the floor, and he could not see her face, but he knew what was going on, and if Killer was in pain, it was really bad.
"I'm sorry to say this, but I'm glad I don't have to have the kid." Endymion said, looking at her.
To get her to a place that would be a bit more comfortable, he picked her up, after he had gotten the carriage ready, he took her to it, and made sure that she was as comfortable as possible, the as fast as he could, he took her to her mothers house.
When they got there, Endymion carried her inside, then had Jaken get Hitomi, and took her to the most comfortable room he could think of.
When Hitomi got there, she told him that he should go outside, and wait there with Sesshoumaru, while she helped Killer, and not to come in until Jaken got him.
"Why does Jaken get to stay and not me?" Endymion asked, enraged that he would not be able to be there.
"Because he is going to be getting everything that I will need, you will only get in the way." Hitomi told him, shoving him out of the room.
When he got outside, all he did was pace, and when he wasn't pacing, then he was fuming since he could not be inside with Killer.
"Calm down, its what the women do." Sesshoumaru told him reading a book, as if nothing were going on.
"How can I calm down? How is it that you are so calm, and yet your daughter and my wife is having a baby!" Endymion said, thinking that he could just go in there, and then refuse to leave.
"Are you going to leave?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking up from his book.
"What are you talking about?" Endymion asked him, not sure if he heard him right.
"Are you going to leave her? She came over here yesterday, and told Akitamaru that she was having trouble, and that you were very distant." Sesshoumaru said, not looking at all happy. "So I'm asking you, are you going to leave or not. If you are, leave now. If not, calm down."
"No, I'm not leaving. I didn't want a child, but then I also don't want to loose Killer. So I'm staying for good." Endymion told him, looking very stubborn.
"Good, otherwise, I'm not sure that you would be able to leave, because you wouldn't be able to move that much, without much pain." Sesshoumaru said, messing with his claws.
It took several more hours of pacing, and Sesshoumaru telling Endymion to calm down, and shut up, and then Jaken appeared.
"You may go in now Mr. Endymion. They are waiting for you." Jaken told him, walking over to Sesshoumaru.
When Endymion went into the room that Killer was recently in, he found that she had already gotten up and was cleaning up after the baby had been cleaned.
"Are you alright?" Endymion asked Killer, as soon as he could.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired and sore." Killer said, "You threw a fuss when you couldn't stay. Even though you don't really care."
"But, I do care. I know I've not been showing it lately, but I'm staying. I've just been wondering if I could be a good father, and then I realized that if I left because of the baby, then I would also have to leave you, and that's something that I'm not willing to do." Endymion told her, looking down at his feet, expecting to get a slap, or something of the sort, either from Killer or from Hitomi.
He did get a slap from Hitomi, but from Killer, he got some affection.
"I was wondering how long it would take you. Aunt Carnie told me to wait, and she was right." Killer told him, going on tiptoe to kiss and hug him.
While Endymion was returning the affection, he realized that he would never think about leaving again, because he couldn't do without Killer, or her love.
After several days of recuperating for Killer, and several fun filled days for Endymion, Killer had had enough.
"Endymion, please, let me do something for myself, and let me do something for the baby as well. You don't need to do everything. You're wearing yourself out, and you more tired than me." Killer said, trying to get up from bed.
"But, you are the one who had the baby, and you still need to rest." Endymion replied, gently pushing her back down on the bed. "Plus, right now, I want you to come up with a name for the baby. Remember, you name the girls, I name the boys. As long as they're not to wild."
"Yes, but I need to do more than just think about names for our baby." Killer said, exasperated.
"Just one more day, I'm having fun, really I am." Endymion said, looking her square in the eyes with a little childish glint in his eyes.
"Alright, fine." Killer relented. "But one day only."
