Chapter Fifty-Five: Peaceful

Naru Pov

(Tick Tock, Tick Tock is Seven)

I move my arm above my head, yawning, after waking up from a nice nap, I took with Mai.. Turning my head, Mai slept on her right side, with her hand on her now round belly, that is a size of a melon.. My expression softens, and I sat right next to her.

"Mai, get up." I murmured, shaking her shoulder gently. Mai protest, pressing her head against the pillow.

"Five more." She moans..

"We need to stretch out, we can't keep sleeping." Mai groans again, taking in a big breath.

"Fine." She rolls to her back, and rubs her eyes. Moving my arms, I help Mai to stand up.. She grunts, as I wrap around her waist.. She glances down at her stomach, and rubs it, then back at me.

"You're so mean.." she groans, placing her forehead against my shoulder.. I chuckle at her childlike attitude.

"You sleep to much as it is." I told her.. We headed down the stairs, as I move my hand to wrap it around her. Mai frowns at me.

"Not my fault.. This pregnancy is keeping me very tired.." She whispers.. Finally reaching the door, Mai suddenly stops, as she glances down at her stomach.

"Oi, what day is it?" she asks me.. I shrugged,

"Is the beginning of March." I told her.. Her eyes widen, moving closer to me.. I tilted my head, as she wraps her arms around my waist, and laid her head against my shoulder.

"Is our seventh year.. Of being trapped on this island.. Wow, seven years now." She whispers.. I lay my chin on top of her head, wrapping my arms around her.

"Right, I have forgotten already." Mai lifts her head, and cups my cheek, and smoothes it.

"I figure that much. As well, I'm five months pregnant, I think.. It's hard to decipher this, without a calender." She mumbles. I shook my head at her.

"I don't think so, maybe later in the month, but you still four months…" I told her. Mai shrugs, turning around.

"I am a little big to be four months, I'm a size of a.."

"Melon.." I finished for her.. I stare at her small body.. She still the same, but gained weight in her cheeks. Her stomach is round, not huge, but round as a melon.. I can see a beautiful glow around her, especially her brown eyes..

Mai groans, as I wrap my arms around her, and pop her into our favorite spot, on top of the rocks. My powers grow each day, that I don't have to think where I want to go, I just feel it. Mai has been practicing flaming things, and trying to use her fire to not burn me, like Hayato did. She has done great.

Sitting down, Mai sits in front of me, between my legs.. I chuckled, as she leans on my back.

"Want me to give you a massage?" I asked her.. I could feel her eyes grow big, with a spark.

"Hai, my back is killing me, now I don't have morning sickness, but back aches.. How's your back?" she asks me.. I move a little back, and press my hand on her back.. I felt all her muscles tense at my touch..

"It's not as bad as yesterday." I whispered to her.. She lowers her head, as I put pressure on her lower part of her back.

"Ahh, right there, how did you know?" she asks.. I shrug.

"Cause there is where my back hurts the most.. I don't get it, I thought the only morning sickness, I would only receive, now I'm getting your back pains as well." I kept massaging her, moving my fingers.. I started to feel Mai muscles relax under my touch.

"Ah, I don't know.. I think is because we are so united in many ways, that you can feel everything I do.. Does your feet hurt as well?" she suddenly asks. I titled, looking at my bare feet, watching as Mai feet barely manage to pass my calves.. I found it cute.

"No.."

"Hey, that's not fair, my feet are starting to swell up, are you sure, I'm not five months, going to six? This stomach isn't for a four month pregnancy.." she complains.. I move my hands up to her shoulder blades, and run it down her arms, and lifted it up.

"Oh God, that felt good." She hissed, hearing her bones crack.

"Well, you can be five months.. You're too big already, is not normal to be this big at the fourth month." I agree with her.

"Maybe, we just have to wing it, until my water breaks.. I am so excited to feel the great birth pains." She rolled her eyes at her sarcastic remark.. My expression hardens, as I wrap my arms around her.

"Naru?" she gasp in surprise..

"I'm sorry.." I whispered in her ear..

"Why are you sorry?" She leans her head against mine..

"For making you go through hard times. If I knew this will happen, I would have waited another two years, before touching you, and you could have given birth in Japan, where there's a hospital. I.." But Mai shook her head.

"Silly Naru, your thinking again, and you knew this will happen eventually, is nature. Six years of waiting is long enough.. We aren't saints.. I don't mind being pregnant from you.. Is a blessing from God. No matter where I give birth, it would hurt no matter what. I love this child already.. We will learn to grow with her or him. This is just another test of life.. Take a day out of time.. That's all. I love you both so much, is something I never thought of when I was younger. A day like today, when we became stranded, we never thought, seven years later, we would be sitting here, looking at the ocean, with a baby on the way, married for so long, and loving each other like no other."

"I would think you would be crazy.." I told her.

"Hai, me too." She giggles, I wrap my arms around her melon like stomach, and she sighs.

"You see little one, papa is over thinking again.." she murmurs.. I move, to see her face to face.. I took a hold of her small feet and place it on top of my lap.

"Ne?"

"You said your feet hurts." She nods with a blush, as she tries to lower her shirt down. Since her stomach is sticking out, thus her shirt is shorter than the normal.

"Thank you.. Man, my clothes don't fit me anymore. At least the skirt and some dresses do.. This sucks." She complains.. I started to rub her feet, and glance up at her.

"I don't mind you naked.." I teased, but in a way being realistic.. Her cheeks flares up.

"Oi, don't be too cheeky. I'm bloated like a balloon now. I don't even look attractive. I mean I don't see myself attractive, but.." I press pressure on her foot, causing her to yelp.

"Hey.." Mai wiggles her toes, causing me to chuckle.

"You look good Mai. You look radiant. Don't doubt yourself, I told you before." I explain, in my eyes, she really looks gorgeous, no matter how big she gets. I'm so stupid in love, is not even funny.

"You sure like to flatter a lot." She blushes.. I smirked at her.

"Not flatter, the truth.. Mai.. I.." I paused, as I switch of the foot..

"Hmm?" she asks.. I wave my hand, appearing a mango on her hands, with the knife.

"Eat.." I whispered.. She nods.. She cuts the mango, and slice it in half.. She moves forward, and waves her hand.

"Say ah." I stare at her, but open my mouth, and she snuck in peace of mango.. Then I felt her thumb to run across my lips, taking out the juice out.. I lick my lips, after she moves back and licks her fingers.

"When you're done, wash your hands.. And what is it?" she asks, eating her slice mango. She moves forward, and gave me more, chewing and then swallowing, I move to finish up with her massage.

"Today we can head out towards the other side of the island." I told her.. Mai eyes widen, and lower her hands.

"Really finally. That month turned into two.. Why so long?" She gasps out..

"I wanted to make sure, you're not in danger of loosing the baby, so that's why. Also, promise me, you won't do anything over the top.." I asked her.. Mai huffs.

"What? I can't barely bend now, and I'm not that crazy too place our little one in danger."

"That's not it, knowing you, you'll place yourself to protect me.. Please promise me." I asked in a gentle manner. She huffs.

"I promise. Do the same. I can't lose you either. If I lose you, I will die.."

"Mai, you can't, you have to live for our child, and.."

"I mean inside.. I will continue to love our child and raise it, but I won't be truly happy without you.. You're my other half, and I can't lose you, we went through so much.." I can see tears gathering in the corner of her eyes.. I nodded.

"I can't promise that, but I'll try to survive." Is the closes thing of a promise.


Mai Pov

I licked my lips and rub my hands together, as I stare at it..

"Not again, please don't, I beg of you."

"I have to."

"You don't have to, just leave it alone."

"No."

"Don't be stubborn, think of our child.."

"I'm not and what does it have to do with our child?"

"Nothing, but we are on a mission, why, oh God, Why do I even bother with you.." Naru groans, covering his face with his hand, in an impossible way. I ignored him completely. I kept staring, and staring..

"Mai!" I felt Naru hot lips on my neck, causing me to lose concentration on how good that felt, that I found myself pleasantly shiver.. The slimy green frog, that stood in front of me, croak, and jumps out of his life, and jumps inside the water..

"Ne, Naru, no fair, using your lips, why did you do that. I was winning.." I complain, as he blankly stares at me.

"Having a blinking competition with a frog? And your eyes were about to turn watery. Does that even makes sense?" he suddenly asks, but rudely.. I hissed, shrugging his shoulder.

"Jerk.. I…" but I blinked, at his sudden burst of laughter caught me off guard.

"You never cease to amaze me." he coughs, covering his mouth.. I pouted, placing my hand on my round stomach.

"Papa is being a jerk to mama, don't you agree?" I whispered to my tummy.. Naru eyes widen,

"Hey, don't say that to the baby. Either way, now that you took your break, I can just pop us.." but my eyes widen.

"No, no powers, for now, lets walk for a few more hours.. I need the exercise.. I need to get my body stronger.." I told him.. Naru sighs.

"Fine." He whispers, moving ahead of me, towards the same path that Hayato and Shibuya took.. I fidgeted with my lower lip, watching Naru taking his time on walking..

"What?" he suddenly asks, noticing his broad shoulder twist, since he was stretching.. I felt like laying my head against it.

"Nothing." I mumbled under my breath. Naru doesn't' say anything, but kept going. In doing so, he suddenly stops.

"Mai." His voice now is demeaning.. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Fine, I was wondering, what happen to Hayato and Shibuya.. Its been two months already.. I really want to know their story and what Hayato didn't tell Shibuya.." I told him. Naru face relaxes for a second and turns to head forward.

"When the time comes, we'll know." Was his answer towards me.

"Okay? Then what do we do, when we reach the black lagoon? As well, can you tell me what did Shibuya-kun, do back then to cause his injury?" Naru suddenly stops, causing me to smack my head against his back.

"Eii, warn me next time." I rubbed my nose, as Naru turns his gaze at me.

"Sorry, I was wondering when you're going to ask me that." He murmurs, moving forward, as his blue eyes turn darker..

"Huh?" I asked, confused.. Naru shook his head, and turns to move forward, and I move to his side.

"He was the one that hid Alack head.." I paused my tracks, and turned to face him.

"How? Explain to me, is this suppose to be the deal you told me about?" Naru nods.

"It is.. The deal was that Isaac nor Alack would touch Hayato, if he hides Alack head.."

"What is it so important with his head? Is not made of gold." I asked him. Naru shrugs, turning to look down at me.

"I really don't know why, but it holds an important key to get rid of the creatures." My eyes widen at his sudden new information.

"How do you know this?"

"Cause Isaac told me about it that night so long ago. When Sasuke pass his guardian duties to the twins, he gave Alack, the horse for a reason.."

"Let me guess, to get rid of the creatures, by purifying them?" Naru shakes his head.

"Not exactly.. Remember when we had Sasuke and Alice memories, a part, I came back hurt, and I cursed out the horse?" I titled my head but then nodded at him.

"Hai, I do, what was that about? I never got the whole horse thing, besides that Alack ride in one." I told him. Naru cross his arms.

"I think it's time to explain." I shook my head.

"Yes, my dear husband, explain.." I cross my arms, and gave him a stern look. Naru rubs the back of his head.

"Fine, since I don't our child to be born in this hell bent island with supernatural things, trying to kill us, might as well get it out of the cellar. The horse that Sasuke mentioned before, made by the sins that came out of the waters.. You know how the body of water is very dark and disgusting?" he stated. I nodded at him.

"Yeah?"

"The creatures, before they went into slumber, summoned a horse from hell, the horse of War.." I was now staring at him confused.

"Don't give me the four horses man of the apocalypse bull.."

"Not really, is more like.. What is the most signified moments, where one thing seems to lead another, but isn't?" he suddenly asks. I stare at him with wide eyes.

"Really? You're asking me this? What does it have to do…"

"Answer me, is part of our bet." He suddenly stated.. I signed, placing my hands on my round stomach.

"Fine, is to lure something out, to deceive people. A trap if you will."

"Exactly,"

"So the horse itself is not the horse of war, but a trap?"

"Illusion is more the word. To scare off visitors, or to send them to their death.. The horse itself doesn't exist at all. Is an illusion, for Alack to survive the island, without his head, when Shibuya threw the head in the dark waters." He explains to me..

"Oh.. That makes sense, so why did Sasuke say that? Then what does that have to do with Alack head missing?"

"A lot. Is not about the head, but what's inside.." he tap his side.

"Oh, I think I got it. Isaac wanted Shibuya to hide Alack head, cause it contains something that can destroy the creatures, but why was he helping? I thought he hated his brother?"

"He did, and didn't.. One thing about brothers, no matter how mad you get at them, you still love them. Is very complicated.. In a way, Isaac felt guilty in a way, so he wanted to make it up.."

"But the one that deceived Isaac is Alack, from what I remember."

"Sometimes things can look deceiving."

"So Shibuya-kun place Alack head on the black water?"

"To hide something, is to hide it in plain sight, is the best hiding place." He explains..

"Okay? So let's clear this up, and since you I mean Sasuke gave up his powers and guardianship, it broke the spell that bonded you here, but since you made another bond with me, you were reborn twice now.. Another is to free the souls in this island, which we already did. Now we just need to purify the waters, using whatever Alack has in his head or purpose, and everything will be clear?"

"That summons it up."

"Oi, if that was this easy, why the heck did we go through all that hell? Seriously, then what about the weeping lady? Since we destroy Ester and William, what about her?"

"We'll figure that one, with the memories of Hayato and Shibuya.."

"Then who was that woman screaming, when we burned all the curse scrolls?"

"The weeping lady.." he simply answers.. I rubbed my temples.

"How did Shibuya-kun hurt his leg?"

"I fell down, while climbing down the mountain, after I place Asack head inside the water.. Anything else?" I shook my head at him.

"I have a headache now. Let's finish this, or not, I probably give birth right here." I mumbled, waving my hand. Naru chuckles, taking my hand and slides it down, to intertwine our fingers. A sudden warmth spread through me, as I glance up at him.

'I would never had made it this far, without him.'

..

"You're so mean, I told you I wanted to walk." I complained, as we stand in front of the dark waters, not even close to it.. Naru shrugs.

"I know how you think of me, stop repeating it, you were huffing a lot, as well you almost slip.." he complains.. I rub the back of my neck.

"Err, I didn't slip, you caught me, so I technically didn't slip.." I told him.. Naru gave me a stick look. I glance around the area, it looks like it hasn't changed a bit, since we came here last time. Still damp and a very depressing aura. The pool, like water is so dark, that even the color black looks like a bright color. Even if that is possible. Trees surround us, as well as mountains.

"Sure, changing the subject, how do we recover the head?" Naru mumbles, capturing his chin, looking down at the waters.. I huffed out. Flicking my fingers, my fire pop out, and started to twirl my fingers, in a slow circle motion.

"What are you doing?" he asks me.. I shrug at him.

"Err, not sure, but can't you just retrieve it? Since you know where you place it?"

"I can't touch the water, or not, it will kill me do with its sin containment." my eyes widen. Stopping my rhythm, I move closer to him.

"Then don't.. We'll figure something out.." I whispered to him. Naru nods at me, rubbing his back head, looking around.

"Naru, I never question, what did Alack meant, that because of you, the creatures stop going after us, what did you do?"

"My job, as your protector." He simply replies.. I place my hand on my belly, and rub it gently, as a sudden warm feeling passes through me.

"Your papa is over protective towards me" I mumbled, as I kept staring at my tummy.. Knowing that I carry his child.. A part of him, that I love with all my heart already..

"What?" I barely whisper to him.

"I froze them." My eyes widen, turning to face him.

"Huh? How? I know your powers, but freezing takes a few minutes, then it unfreezes." Naru shrugs at me.

"I have my ways…" he simply replies.. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Cold, smart, handsome and mysterious, you sure come with the whole package.." I joked, as he smirks at me.

"Seductively handsome, that can take you to high places." he winks at me after his husky comment, that cause me to shiver.. I blushed at his comment.

"Sometimes, I sense Shibuya-kun cockiness in you."

"But you don't deny it do you?"

"No, cause is true.. Aish, don't say things like that, is embarrassing." I blushed, but I snap my fingers once again, and started to make the fire ring. Then Naru surprises me, when he came up to me, and takes a hold of my hand.

"Ne?"

"Can you use your fire as a rope, and grasp the head with it?" he asks..

"As a rope? You know water and fire don't mix." I told him.. Naru shakes his head.

"I know that, but I meant, if you can manipulate fire to not burn a human, why not defy logic.. Mai your very strong person, so you can do it.." Naru pep talks to me..

"Err, I can try," I whispered to him.. Naru nods.

"Make a rope, and manipulate it as though you're trying to grasp something.. Remember, you control the fire, not the other way around." I bit my lower lip, and nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll be right behind you.."

"Why is it, always I am in the front?" I grumpily ask him. He cups my cheek, and kiss my forehead.

"Because you will always be my master and you will always lead the way."

"Don't say that, say, I'm your friend, and wife, but not your master, you know how I feel about that." I complained.

"But is the truth, plus, your spirit is pure, to pure even for me to handle, and you can send another spirit to the other side. You're very strong. Don't doubt yourself." He moves behind me, and wraps his arms around me.. I breathed out.

"If I wasn't married to you, I would have fallen in love with you with those corny lines." I giggle, and he huskily breaths on my ear, making me shiver with delight.

"Oh, but you are.. After all, your old fashion and love my corny lines, since I don't do romance." before I could speak, I felt Naru power intervene with mine. A sudden gust of wind appears from nowhere surround us, swaying our hair.. I breathed out, and leaned myself against him.

"Eii, I'm not ready for this, give me a second." But too late, the fire in me left my fingertips, and went in the dark water.. It stretched out like a rope.. My eyes widen, as Naru kept his grip tight on me.

"Concentrate Mai, feel it within you, use my powers like last time, and defy logic." He whispers..

"Okay," I nodded, closing my eyes, I try to imagine where Shibuya would have placed the head, as well keep deep concentration, that my fire is not fire, but a rope, (The fire goes inside the water, at first it steams, but I kept my spiritual composure, and after the third try, it went in,) then as I reach the bottom, Naru shifts my arms towards my right, and then I felt something.

"Purify it now." I heard Alack voice echoed around us.. I was about to open my eyes, as though Naru knew, he shakes his head.

"Keep going." He shouts.. I nodded, taking a long breath, feeling Naru powers surround me like always, I felt this strange flood of emotions pass by me, and when I snap my eyes open, the waters it started to boil, bubbles forming above.

"Now, break it." Alack screams, and with all my force, I manage to hit the tip of his skull, I imagine, and it breaks.. Nothing happens at first, feeling exhausted, I started to title backwards, Naru immediately wrap his arms around me, a kiss my temple. I move to stare at him.. He looks pale as well. I cup his cheek.

"Poor thing." I mumbled, feeling bad for him. He just gave me a stern look.

"I'm proud of you, you did wonderful." He whispers to me.. I nodded, turning my gaze back to the waters.. Then something amazing happened. Naru moves his hands, and all of the sudden, the creatures started to form a circle around the waters.. Alack stands next to us.

"Finally, thank you." And with that, he disappears from sight. A sudden, peaceful aura pass through us, as I stare at everyone.. They all stare down at the water, that suddenly started to form into a large bubble, and before I knew it, it exploded upwards, making a backwards waterfall, and disappears from view. I glance back at the water, that is now blue as the ocean.. My heart tightens.. The creatures turn to face us.

Then surprised by them, they all bow down,

"Thank you, for purifying us.. This is all we wanted, but the sin of human consumed us so much that we lost track of what we really wanted, be blessed, and please keep our powers safe." and disappear from sight… I stood there shaking for some odd reason.

"Mai?"

"We did it? We finally have peace." Naru nods at me, as he helps me up, but a sudden dizzy spell passes through me.

"Naru.."

"You look pale, did you get hurt? Is the baby okay?" his voice sounded worried, as he grasp my shoulder. I grasp his arm, and shake my head.

"No, the baby is fine, and I didn't, I just feel lightheaded. I.." And before I knew it, everything went dark on me.

..

"You did it." Gene came out of nowhere, as I stood at the shore, watching the smooth waves.. I turned and felt his warm hug..

"Gene." I gasp out, wrapping my arms around him, feeling happy and started to cry with joy.

"I miss you so much, Naru misses you.. What happen? Why did you stop visiting?" I gasp out, wiping my eyes. Gene cups my cheeks, after we let go.

"I had to stay away for some time, I had something to take care off."

"Oh? Did the creatures move on? Do they still need our powers?"

"No, they have moved on. Like I said before, these powers, are yours, no one else. "

"Then how come I purify them? Naru said that Alack had something in his head, I don't get it? How come my fire purifies it?"

"It was all planned out.. Alack, head was a lure to get you to this part. I knew you wouldn't have touched the waters, so I had a talk with Isaac to use Shibuya to place the head inside the black waters."

"How?"

"There's no time in my word Mai, so it doesn't matter how I go forward or backwards." He explains.. I rub my head.

"Okay?"

"So you made Shibuya take Alack head and he throws it on the dark waters, in a matter of two days? On foot it took almost a week in our past lives, for us a day, since Naru pop us closer to our destination." I didn't get it.

"Don't worry about it.. Just know that you made it, now live in peace with Noll, and be brave." He whispers.

"Brave?"

"Just take care of yourself and err, your child?" he whispers to me.. I nodded.

"I will. You'll become an uncle. How do you feel?" I asked him, feeling warm about this.. Gene eyes softens, as he places his hand on my flat stomach, since this is a dream, I have no baby.. He smiles at me kindly.

"Happy.. I wish I could watch them grow." He frowns, I wrap my arms around him, leaning my head against his cold chest.

"I do too, as Naru. You'll probably spoil them." I giggled. I felt Gene kiss the top of my head.

"I would, you have another year to go.. Remember this, when you return, everyone will be shocked, including you and Noll." And with that, he disappears…. Leaving me confused at his sudden words.


Naru pov

Finally is over, is strange to feel so at ease right now..

I rose my legs up, staring at the small fire I made, as Mai slept behind me, in the hammock, after a few hours later.

"When is she going to wake up?" I asked out loud, feeling a little worried, looking up at the night sky, watching the stars twinkle..

"Now," I felt a hand on my shoulder.. I turned, to see, Mai sleepy face smiling at me. My heart thumbs, and I move to wrap my arms around her.

"Don't faint like that again." my voice quivers a little.. I felt like I almost lost her again, and this time with our child.. She pats my back gently.

"It took a lot out of me. I'm sorry." She kisses my cheek as I help her out of the hammock, and place her between my legs..

"Want a shower? Or eat first? You have been out for a few hours. I have given you water though." I explain.. She blushes.

"Mouth to mouth?" I nodded at her.

"Yes," I told her. Remembering, that she kept kissing me.. I smirked, wondering when will I tell her, that she was the first to steal my first kiss, and not I…

"Thank you, a shower, then a feast.. We are starving.. I'm sorry little one.." she rubs her stomach.. I stare up at the blue sky.

"It feels strange now." Mai whispers, placing her head against my head.. I started to rock her gently..

"I feel it too.."

"Is like a peaceful feeling, then again, I'm afraid." She suddenly stated..

"About?"

"About our dreams, of Hayato and Shibuya. About the weeping woman, what will she bring to us?"

"We'll take it a day out of time, no rush. I will always protect you." I whispered into her ear. Mai gave me a nod.

"I know, as I will protect you, and our child.. I just hope she's a good spirit.. Now, for the time being, we have more pressing matters." She started, turning to face me. I arched a brow at her.

"What?"

"We need to start preparing."

"For?"

"Parenthood."

"We'll learn." Mai sighs deeply.

"Yeah.. Is very scary to think about it, while you're with me, I can manage." I held her tighter.

"Even if I wasn't here, you still manage." Mai frowns, but shakes her head.

"No, I wouldn't.. In a way." silence overcame us...

Then Mai gasps out.

"Gene came back." She suddenly started, turning to face me. My heart jumps at the mention of my brother.

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He told me to be brave, and we need one more year. As well he would have spoiled our child.." I stay silent for a few minutes.

"I bet he would, and brave? Another warning," I mumbled, coming to that conclusion. Mai frowns, grasping my hand.

"About our baby?"

"Don't know, keep it at mind." Mai nods at me.

"Okay, I hope nothing bad, we have been through so much.."

"I agree." My eyes soften.. It's weird to see her this big, then I heard her take on an intake.

"Ne Naru.." Mai gasps out, her eyes open wide, in wonder.

"Hmm?" I asked, as I stood her up. She takes an intake once again, jumping up and down.

"Mai?"

"The baby.." she started, and now alarm clocks started to ring in my head. Oh no, did we harm the baby?

"Oh no, did we harm the child?" I panic, as Mai stops her bouncing, and tilted her head.

"Huh? No, what harm? No, silly man, not that." I she takes my hand, as tears started to roll down her cheeks..

"Mai? Why are you crying, if we didn't hurt the baby." she place my hand on her cheek.

"I love you," she suddenly says. I nodded at her.

"Me too, with all my heart, but please, tell me, what happen to the baby?" She gave a teary laughter.. Gulping, she moves my hand down at the round stomach, and places on her right. My eyes grew twice as big, as I stare at her.

"Mai," I gasp out, as Mai cups my cheeks, and soothes my cheeks.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she whispers.. I nodded at her, as I move to wrap my arms around her, holding her tight.

"Thank you." I gasp out, feeling her arms around me.

"For what? You're the one that gave me the baby.." she laughs, but I shook my head, kissing her side head.

"We both did.. Thank you." I cup her cheeks and kiss her lips very gently.

"It's a blessing." She smiles at me brightly.. I nodded, as I place my hand on her stomach. A sudden warm deep fluttering feeling rushed into my heart, as I stared at my wife's eyes.

"Is a beautiful feeling, to feel the baby move for the first time.."


Thanks for the reviews.. : ).. So I hope that clears some things…
