The First Month Part One

Lavi stormed down the hall with Kanda in tow. She was furious. How could Bookman be so cruel? Her head was down, her fists clenched at her sides. In the midst of her frustration, she almost didn't hear kanda shouting her name.

"Lavi! Watch out!"

"What?!" She screamed. Just as she looked up, she collided with a rather tremendous stack of books. Her vision went black for a moment as the stack came toppling over.

"Lavi!" she faintly heard Lenalee scream. Then all went dark.

When she came to, Kanda and Lenalee were standing over her.

"I'm so sorry Lavi! I was carrying such a huge pile of books, I couldn't see you. I heard Kanda shout to you to look out so I was hoping you'd go around. I didn't expect you to just stop in the middle of the hall. I'm sorry. I should have stopped." She flustered.

Lavi shook her head.

"I'm fine. At least the books only fell on my head and nothing else." She glanced at Kanda who nodded.

"Oh. By the way. Nii-san wanting me to find you earlier. It's all over the Order that you got into a fight with Bookman and had to go to the infirmary. Nii-san wants to see you and find out how you're doing."

"Oh. Well…umm... I'm fine." Lavi stuttered and looked away embarrassed.

"He still wants to see you personally though. What happened anyway?" Lenalee asked concerned. "You don't look too well."

"I fine. It's nothing really Lena-chan! You worry too much." Lavi said cheerfully. Lenalee nodded but wasn't convinced fully. Lavi and Kanda helped her to pick of the books and stack them in smaller piles that she could take one at a time.

"Thank you." she grinned.

"You're welcome Lenalee." Kanda replied politely. He then turned to Lavi. "Come on." He took her hand gently. He smiled at Lenalee before heading off toward Komui's office. When they reached it, Lavi stopped suddenly.

"How's he gonna react Yuu?" What if Panda is right? What if we are kicked out of the Order?"

"You won't be kicked out. If anything, those Grand General bastards will want to keep you here to see is the babies are innocence compatible, considering it was the damned innocence that caused this mess. As for what they'd do with me I don't know."

Lavi paled.

"You think…they'll hurt them? Try to do experiments on them? And what about you? What if they kick you out and make me stay? I can't live without you!" her voice quavered.

"I won't let them separate us." Kanda put his arms tightly around Lavi and held her close. "And they won't touch the children if they know what's good for them."

With a deep breath, Lavi pulled away from Kanda and to knock on the door to Komui's office.

Before her hand could connect with the hard wood of the door, Kanda reached out and ran his open palm against Lavi's cheek.

"I don't think Komui would let the Grand Generals hurt our babies anyway." She smiled and leaned into his touch.

"I sure hope not."

She knocked on the door. And they waited for Komui to say it was all right to come in. And waited. And waited.

"Damn him! I bet he's asleep!" Kanda growled. He yanked open the door angrily and found his assumption to be correct.

Komui lay with his head on his arms, his mouth opened wide, and snoring in a very unattractive fashion.

Lavi rolled her eyes and walked over to his desk. She leaned down next to his ear.

"Lenalee's marrying Allen."

"NO! LENALEE! WHY?!"

Kanda took the time to knock Komui over the head with the hilt of Mugen.

"Zip it. You called for us?" he hissed.

Komui striated up his glasses and cleared his throat.

"Yes. I heard about this morning Lavi. How are you doing? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. But…well. We found out something we weren't expecting. That we're, well, expecting."

"Come again." Komui questioned. His head was cocked to this side in confusion.

With an angered sigh Kanda spoke up.

"Expecting? You know? It means we're gong to have a baby. Two actually."

Komui's eyes widened.

"How exactly is that possible? Wait. Do I want to know?"

Kanda shook his head.

"Don't ask." He could recall his own explanation of "hows" and "when" he got from the doctors.

"Alright then. I won't. By the way. What does Bookman think of this Lavi?" he asked the redhead. He knew the rule of a Bookman was not to become emotionally or physically involved with anyone. He didn't think the old man would be too happy with Lavi right now.

"I'm no longer his apprentice. I resigned this morning. I'm going to dedicate myself solely to the Black Order and my new family." Kanda stepped up to link his fingers with Lavi's.

"I see. Well. You do know you won't be able to take missions until the children are born, correct?"

"I know." Lavi sighed.

"And." He took on a more serious expression. "You and Kanda will have to meet with the Grand Generals. They will make the final decision as to what's to be done. I wish we could avoid them. But. They'd find out eventually. And it would be worse to hide it from them." He looked grave.

"We know." Kanda narrowed his eyes. "But if they try to take our children from us they'll be getting to know Mugen a bit more personally then they want to." Lavi gripped Kanda's hand tighter.

"Calm down Kanda. I'll talk to them and speak in your defense. But it will be hard. Since it was the innocence that made this happen, there's a high probability that one of the children maybe compatible with the innocence inside of you Lavi. The Grand Generals will want to test that."

Kanda could recall when Lenalee first came to the Order. Locked up and tested on like some sort of lab rat. Even driven so far as to attempt suicide. Like hell they would do his children that way.

"I'll be letting you know when to meet with them. For now you are dismissed. Don't worry too much either. Stress won't be good for you, Kanda nor the children. And just know. You are in my prayers." After they'd gone Komui held true to his promise. He bowed his head against his hands and prayed harder than he'd ever prayed in his life.

Well. There ya go. The first part of a long chapter. I may have to do this whole chapter in three parts. Maybe. I might be able to fit it into two parts if I try. I would have tried to make this one part but it would have been later than promised because I've been working all this week and will be next week to. But I've made a promise to people that I'd have it done by July 11th. And I did. So enjoy and when I get the time I'll do the second and possibly third part.
