It was two weeks after the couple got the news from Koenma and Botan had taken a pregnancy test and it claimed pregnancy. Though the woman felt she should be happy, she couldn't help but worry. She had told Hiei and he seemed worried too. Though he wished that they would be the first successful ferry girl pregnancy, he knew the possibilities of that happening were quite rare.
"Should we tell the others?" Botan seemed dazed and out of it. She had been like that ever since Koenma had given her the news of the pregnancy rate. Hiei tried his best to pull her out of it but it wasn't working too well.
"If you want to, Botan." Hiei gently said to her. He knew he had to be careful with his mate because she was in a fragile state of mind at that moment. Botan slowly nodded and Hiei pulled her into a hug.
"I guess we can set up a get together at Yukina's house." Her voice seemed monotone and off set, as if she wasn't fully there. He shook his head to her suggestion.
"That wouldn't be the best of ideas for you. How about you and I go to Yukina's and tell her, then I tell the rest of the group?" Hiei was being more gentle than any friends had ever seen him. Botan nodded her head and he picked her up bridal style and hurried them off to Yukina's. When they reached the door it was already open. He continued to carry Botan in and Yukina smiled and welcomed them in.
"Yukina, do you have somewhere where she may rest?" Hiei asked quietly. Yukina gave a worried look but nodded her head and he followed her to a bed room and laid Botan down in the bed. He gave a small kiss on the lips and then looked her in the eyes.
"I want you to sleep for now. I'll be back here later." Hiei whispered to her. Botan nodded her head and then the fire demon left the room. Before any words were said, the siblings went into the living room and sat down.
"What's happening, Hiei-san?" Yukina's worried voice asked. Hiei sighed and looked at Yukina.
"Botan's pregnant." The fire demon said it as if it were horrible. His sister was quite confused.
"Why is that a bad thing?"
"We went to the toddler and the Onna asked if she could get pregnant and he said yes but the possibility of it going even semi-right was low. Then he proceeded to tell us that they had never had a ferry girl pregnancy go right and that if we even managed to have a child the chances of it having a deformation, mental retardation, or mental disorder was extremely high." Hiei said. Yukina looked grief stricken and very sad.
"She's in a bad place right now, Yukina and I can't have her trying to explain to everyone about her pregnancy." The fire demon said.
"I'll call up the others and call them over." Yukina said and got up and went to the phone. Hiei was very grateful to his sister for doing that. He sat there in silence and when she was done she said nothing. Everyone arrived around the same time and they were all sitting in the living room, waiting for the the big news.
"Botan is pregnant." Hiei contained an emotionless tone of voice and everyone cheered. After a while it died down and they all realized he wasn't done. When it was completely silent all eyes were on the ex-convict standing before them.
"Koenma has come to inform the Onna and I that the chances of her having a child are small and the percentage of it going even semi-right are even smaller. Most likely our child will be diagnosed with a mental disorder, mental retardation, or have a deformation." The room was in total silence as Hiei explained this to them. Most faces were sad and the happiness that had exploded earlier was as if it never happened.
"I did not have you come here so that you could help 'support' us but because of Botan. She is in a fragile state and I won't have any of you causing her to have a breakdown. She is resting right now and if she ever seems a little off it is because of this. We don't need your money but she needs you all right now. Do not, I repeat, do not go in there and talk to her if I am not in there. Not until I know she'll get better." Hiei demanded. Everyone nodded their heads and he left to go to the bedroom Botan was in. She was, of course, awake and when she saw him come in she smiled a little. He sat down beside her and she hugged him.
"Thank you for doing that." The ferry girl whispered and Hiei just stroked her hair as an answer. No one came in the entire day because they knew that they shouldn't until later.
--- Five months later: Check up ---
Botan had gotten very large over the months and was now at the spirit world doctor. Hiei was standing beside her while holding her hand. Then in came the doctor and Koenma, who hadn't been there a while ago. The couple then began to think the worst but Botan still managed a smile.
"So what is the gender of our child?" Botan asked and a smile burst onto both the doctor's face and Koenma's. The fast heartbeat that both the ferry girl and fire demon had slowed to a normal rate upon seeing the smiles.
"The gender is both boy and girl." The doctor said. Botan's eyes bulged and she stared at the men incredulously.
"I'm having a hermaphrodite?!" Botan cried out. The doctor and Koenma started laughing and Hiei found no amusement in thinking his child was of both genders. Finally when the two calmed down enough they turned more serious but still held smiles.
"No, Botan, you're not having a hermaphrodite. You're having twins!" Koenma cried out with a smile. Botan gasped and smiled while looking at Hiei. He smirked, the most smile Koenma would ever see, and squeezed Botan's hand.
"I'm so happy! Hiei, we'll have to start thinking of names for them. Oh I can't wait till they're born! They'll be so cute and they'll be twins and best friends and everything!" Koenma laughed lightly while shaking his head at Botan's excitement.
"Well I'm very happy for you and cannot wait to see how your children will turn out. I just came to help give the news but now I have to work. I think you should have a baby shower for them. Well have fun." Koenma said and kissed Botan's forehead as a form of friendship and left the room. She got dressed and they both left to home.
--- Four months later: Babies are due ---
"Ah!" Botan screamed while she gave a final push and the second baby came out. Hiei had to admit, even though Botan wasn't to great in battle, she had one hell of a death grip. His hand was in pain but he would withstand it until she felt the need to let go. Then the restraint on Hiei's hand let go and he massaged it to get blood flow going.
"Well Mr. And Mrs. Jaganshi it seems that your children are in perfect health." The doctor said and two doctors came in with two babies. They handed the girl to Hiei and the boy to Botan and left the room.
"What should we name them, Hiei?" The ferry girl asked quietly.
"Since you did most of the work you should name them." Hiei said. Though he could give the impression of being a cold blooded killer he had to give respects to any woman who went through child labor because it was probably ten times worse than most of the wounds he had ever received.
"I think we should name the boy Dante Corin Jaganshi. Hiei, I think you should name the girl." Botan said. Hiei nodded his head and looked down at the girl in his arms.
"Kanaji Kori Jaganshi." Hiei said and Botan nodded her head. Then the door opened and Koenma walked in with a smile.
"Well Koenma it seems we've been the first perfect pregnancy." Botan said. Koenma made no acknowledgment to what she said but it seemed she took no notice. She was just happy that she gave birth to two beautiful children. Hiei though could tell that the smile on his boss's face was plastered.
"I'm very happy for you two and I can't wait to see them grow up." Koenma said. Then he looked Hiei in the eyes and it told for Hiei to follow him.
"I'll be back Onna. I need to tell Koenma something." Hiei said and she nodded her head and Hiei gave her Kanaji and left with Koenma. When the door shut behind them, the smile fell.
"Hiei, I can not bear to tell Botan this information and maybe in time you'll be able to." Koenma explained. Hiei was listening intently to what the now teenage form Koenma was saying.
"What can't you tell her?" Hiei asked.
"New born children cannot show any real signs of a mental disorder but we are sure they do not have any mental retardation. When the children reach five years old, start to watch for any developing abnormalities in their personality. If you are worried of something come to me quickly and tell me. It could be a sign of a mental disorder." Koenma said. Hiei nodded his head and the two went their separate ways.
--- Five years later ----
"Happy birthday to you!" The group finished singing. It was Kanaji and Dante's birthday and they were turning five. At the same time, the twins blew out the candles and everyone clapped. They all ate and Hiei sat there watching. Botan was talking to others and the fire demon did not forget what Koenma told him. He had started watching them when they turned four and he noticed strange things with Kanaji and strange things with Dante.
"Daddy, Kiseki isn't too shy to meet you now." Kanaji said. Hiei was now was paying close attention. He had heard Kanaji playing tea party with a boy named Kiseki many times but he could never find the boy.
"Why didn't you wave back, daddy?" Kanaji asked. Hiei waved slightly and Kanaji ran off to go play. Then Dante was sitting beside him. His son turned out to be a very quiet and shy boy unlike Hiei had expected. He was gently kicking his legs back and fourth.
"Daddy...if I jump from this seat, will I die?" Dante asked. Hiei's heart skipped a beat because his child had never asked that. Botan had informed him that children would start to question death at some point but his question seemed abnormal, considering that he had jumped from the seat many times.
"No you won't." Hiei answer and saw tears in Dante's eyes.
"Will Kanaji hurt herself if she was to jump from here?" Again Hiei shook his head. Dante climbed into his lap and clung to his shirt.
"I'm scared daddy!" Dante cried while scooting closer to Hiei. The father's heart was beating fast; There were problems.
Well that was the last chapter of this story. I am making a sequel of the children's points of view and what is wrong with them. I hope you've enjoyed this story.
