...
It has now been about two weeks since Liz and Soul started dating, and since then Tsubaki and Black Star have now been told that the two weapons are going out, Maka has moved in with Kid and the sisters at the Mansion (Soul still lives in the apartment), and Kid is slowly recovering, but is bed-ridden most of the time unfortunately.
Tsubaki and Black Star are now happily married, their wedding wasn't all that big or organised, but all their friends were there to celebrate their day with them. But today it's bad news for the married couple.
"How'd it go?" Kid asked as Maka walked into his room. She had just come back from the hospital with Tsubaki and Black Star, who are now in the lounge with the sisters and Soul.
Maka didn't answer Kid as she just sat on the Reaper's bed, while Kid was sitting up in it, looking to his girlfriend, concerned.
"Tsubaki lost the baby," Maka stated as she avoided Kid's eyes, and sighed slightly.
"Aww come here," Kid sighed slightly as he wrapped his arms around Maka, and hugged her, while she buried her head in the Reaper's shoulder, as she could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
"Where are Tsubaki and Black Star now?" Kid asked as he gently stroked Maka's hair.
"They're downstairs in the lounge with Soul, Liz and Patty,"
"Do the others know?"
Maka just replied with a slight nod as tears started to slowly stream down her cheeks, "Kid, what if the same thing happens with us?" she asked as she clenched her teeth together tightly.
"Maka, don't go saying things like that, it'll all be fine," Kid stated as he kissed Maka on her forehead.
"How do you know?"
"Because, even if that does happen, we'll get through it, okay?" Kid reassured Maka as he smiled to her and kissed her lips lightly.
Maka looked to Kid for minute as he wiped away her tears, before she nodded slightly and hugged the Reaper back tightly.
"Tsubaki was so upset, and she didn't stop crying until we came here to tell all of you the news. And Black Star is so quiet now, he hasn't spoken a single word since we left the hospital. Why did this happen Kid? They only got married a few days ago, and now this happens," Maka asked as more tears streamed down her face, and slight sobs escaped her lips.
"They'll soon feel better,"
"How? They've just lost their child,"
"Because they've got friends like us, to help them both get through this," Kid stated with a smile to Maka as he kissed her on her forehead again, and wiped away her tears.
"Kid," Maka gazed up at her boyfriend as he smiled to her and stroked her cheek lightly.
"You wanna go down and see them?" Kid asked.
Maka just nodded slightly, before Kid hugged her tightly again, and they both got up from the Reaper's bed, and left the room to go and see Tsubaki and Black Star in the downstairs lounge.
….
The day had been filled with tears, sadness, and little smiles here and there, as the whole gang grieved for Tsubaki and Black Star's unborn baby. And now Kid and Maka had gone to bed (since it was now late evening) not long after Tsubaki and Black Star had gone back home, while Soul had decided to stay over at the mansion as he, Liz and Patty were in the downstairs dining room, clearing away the dishes from everyone's dinner (although it's not like any of the gang ate much due to a loss of appetite after hearing the sad news).
"Sis, do you think that Tsubaki and Black Star will ever try for another baby?" Patty asked her older sister as she sat on the edge of the dining room table, while Liz and Soul were clearing away all the dishes and cutlery.
"Maybe, but I don't think it will be anytime soon," Liz answered as she picked up two empty glasses from the table.
"I was really looking forward to playing with the baby," Patty stated with a heavy sigh as she could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hey you can still look forward to when Maka's baby is born right?" Liz asked trying to cheer her younger sister up a little, since she hated seeing her so upset and not herself.
"Yeah, but what if Maka-chan loses her baby as well?" Patty asked in a worried tone.
"If that happens, then I'm sure they'll get through it with our help right?" Liz stated with a slight smile to her younger sister.
Patty just nodded slightly, before she turned away from her older sister for a minute,
"But what if Kiddo gets worse, and has to go into hospital again? What if he dies before the baby is born? What if he never gets the chance to meet his own baby? Or what if Maka's baby gets sick and dies in her belly? Or what if Maka dies while giving birth? Or the baby could be born sleeping, or…or…" Patty paused as she stopped her worried ranting, while Liz had put the glasses back onto the dining room table, and was now hugged her younger sister tightly.
"You sure do worry a lot, don't you?" Liz asked as she hugged her sister tighter and smiled slightly.
Patty just sat in her older sister's tight embrace, with her eyes wide as she looked to Liz, before she felt her eyes welling up with tears, and she buried her head into her sister's shoulder, while tears started to stream down her cheeks, and her shoulders started to shake slightly.
Liz just held her sister close to her as she stroked her short blonde hair, while Patty cried into her shoulder, and Soul looked over at the two sisters with a concerned look on his face.
"Listen there's no need for you to get yourself all worked over that stuff, okay?" Liz stated as she smiled to her sister and wiped away her tears.
"Okay," Patty replied with a slight nod, before she hugged her sister back, and buried her head into Liz's shoulder again.
….
In the early hours of the morning the next day Maka awoke with a start as she felt a sharp pain shoot through her lower abdomen, she sat up in Kid's bed clutching on to her stomach tightly, before she covered her mouth as she instantly felt sick.
Kid awoke to the sound of Maka running into the bathroom and slamming the door shut behind her. Kid sighed as he smiled slightly, before he sat up in his bed and ran his fingers through his hair, as he waited for Maka to come out of the bathroom.
He didn't have to wait very long, as a couple of minutes later, Maka opened the bathroom door and looked to Kid with a stressed look on her face.
"You, alright?" Kid asked as he looked to his girlfriend with a nervous smile.
Maka just shook her head in reply, before she looked away from Kid with a slight sigh, "I'm bleeding Kid," she stated in almost a whisper.
Kid's eyes widened as he looked to Maka with a concerned look on his face now, "Was it a lot of blood?" he asked, dreading the answer.
"No…but…" Maka paused as she sighed again slightly.
Kid climbed out of his bed as he walked over to Maka, and wrapped his arms around her tightly, "Listen we'll go to the hospital and see if there's something wrong, okay?" Kid suggested as he kissed Maka on her forehead lightly.
Maka nodded slightly as she rubbed her tired eyes, "Can we go now?" she asked as she looked up at Kid, while her eyes started to fill up with tears.
"Sure," Kid replied as he smiled to Maka and wiped her eyes, before he kissed her on the lips lightly.
…...
"Hey, Liz, wake up," Soul shook his girlfriend's shoulder slightly as he called to her, trying to wake her up.
"What is it Soul?" Liz asked as she opened her eyes and yawned slightly, while she looked to her boyfriend.
"Kid said to take care of Patty, while he's gone alright?" Soul stated as he smiled to Liz.
"Why? Where's he gone?" Liz asked as she sat up in her bed and stretched slightly.
"To the hospital," Soul answered simply.
"WHAT? Is he okay?" Liz asked as she looked to Soul with a concerned look on her face.
"Oh no, Kid's fine. Maka started bleeding," Soul stated as he sat beside Liz on her bed and gently stroked her hair.
"You've got to be kidding me, is she alright?" Liz asked as she sighed slightly.
"She was a little shaken up when they left, but other than that, she seemed okay," Soul explained, while he embraced his tired girlfriend, as she cuddled up to him.
Patty was already awake and Soul had been keeping an eye on her, until Maka and Kid came and told them what had happened. The younger twin now came over to her sister's bed, and sat on it.
"Sis, is Maka-chan going to lose her baby?" Patty asked as she looked to her older sister with a worried look on her face.
"I don't know Patty," Liz replied as she moved out of Soul's caring embrace, and hugged her younger sister tightly, before Patty started to sob slightly into her sister's shoulder.
Liz sighed slightly as she hugged her younger sister tighter, while Soul just looked to the two sisters with a worried look on his face, before he also sighed and rested a hand on top of Liz's head, as he started to stroke her hair again.
….
Later on in the morning Kid and Maka came home back to the mansion, as they both walked into the downstairs lounge next-door to the main entrance hall, where Soul and the sisters were now up and waiting for them.
"MAKA-CHAN!" Patty immediately run up to Maka and hugged her tightly as soon as she saw the two Meisters walk into the lounge.
"Hey Patty," Maka greeted the younger twin as she smiled and hugged Patty back.
"Hey, what did the Doc say?" Soul asked as he and Liz came walking over to the other three.
Maka and Kid looked to each other for a minute, before they both sighed slightly, and turned back to look at the others.
"She said that it's normal for women to bleed a bit during their pregnancy at certain times, both Maka and the baby are fine, there's nothing that we need to worry about," Kid answered with a smile to Soul and the sisters.
"Thank Lord Death," Liz sighed with relief as Soul did the same, before he smiled to his girlfriend, and she turned and smiled back to him.
"So everything's okay?" Patty asked as she looked to Kid, still looking a little concerned.
"Yes, everything's fine," Kid replied as he smiled to Patty.
"YAY!" Patty cheered as she hugged Maka tighter and smiled happily, while Maka just chuckled slightly at the younger twin.
Maka looked to Kid with a smile, as he smiled and winked to her in reply. Maka blushed slightly as she looked away from the Reaper slightly, before she hugged Patty again, and patted her on top of her head lightly, before everyone decided to get some well needed breakfast.
