Okay people I'm just going to write about Botan's last month of being pregnant, but I'm going to summarize what happened in between Botan and Hiei's special night and the last month.

Botan sighed as she walked down the hospital hallways. Her heels clacking and echoing throughout the place. After Hiei and Botan had conceived their child, Hiei had to leave Botan, until the baby was born. So she had to keep her mind off that fact, by becoming a nurse. She also needed this time to be around babies and children, to know how to take care of them.

Flashback

Kurama had his head buried in a book, a few days after the baby was conceived. "It says here, Hiei, that the male demon MUST leave his mate while she carries the baby. He must leave because the male goes into heat, MUCH more when the female is pregnant then when she isn't. You see, it is almost as if the male is pregnant also, since he provides the energy the baby will need when it is outside the womb. AND the mother, needs the time to be acquainted with the child on her own, yadda yadda yadda. So you see Hiei, you CANNOT see Botan until the day of your child's birth."

Botan fell on her knees and put her hands on her brother's lap(Kurama told Botan that in his AND her past life they were siblings, but they are still related, even though he is in his human form.) "Kurama, do you mean I'm going to be alone, for nine months?"

"Of course not Botan, your friends and big brother are always here." He hugged her as he looked at Hiei, who looked rather depressed. "Hiei cheer up, you'll see Botan sooner than you know."

Kurama turned back to Botan and said, "Hiei must leave today, the book says that the male must leave within the first four days, and I believe your time is almost up."

Hiei and Botan left and went outside, "Hiei, I love you, I don't want you to go, but....." She tried not cry, she was going to be brave for Hiei. Hiei put his hand to her cheek and said, "Don't think of me as gone, I'll always be watching you, and the baby, making sure the both of you are okay. And I'll keep in touch with Kurama and make sure he tells you how much I love you." He pulled her in for a quick kiss and then he was gone.

Botan had just finished reading a bedtime story to one of her favorite patience, Izumi, Sano. (Got that name from a comic called "Hana-Kimi, you should read it!) Sano was a 7 year old boy who had a liver transplant. She loved this boy as if he were her own, he was loyal, like Yusuke, he was kind, like Yukina, he didn't take crap from anyone, like Keiko, he was smart, like Kurama, he was silly like Kuwabara, and he was protective, like Hiei.

Sano looked up at Botan and said, "Is your baby a girl or a boy, Sempai?"

"I'm not sure Sano, I want to be surprised. But I'll tell you what, how about, when it's time for the baby to come, I'll let you name it."

The boy's unusually pale face lit up and he said, "Wow, really?"

Botan smiled and said, "Really. But right now you need your sleep if you ever want to get out of this place." She pulled the covers on him and patter his head as she headed out of the room and to the front desk across the hall.

She looked down at herself, she had one more month to go. She was rather small for a woman in her 8th month, but the doctor said it was due to her petite frame. She wondered how she was ever gonna squeeze a kid out of her, her hips were so small, not even a baby could fit through. But then again birth was a mystery to her, so she just went with the flow.

All the nurses at the hospital pitied her. After all, in her human form, she did just turn 16. Botan got back to her work, until she realized the time. She changed her clothes and headed for home.
