Wow, I thought for sure I'd get flamed for making Kurama a girl but a guy can't have a baby, I had to do something. I haven't written the next chapter yet so I'm not sure just how Hiei's going to handle all this.

Thanks for all the great reviews. I especially love when I get new reviewers. I love looking at your fics and the fics on your favorites lists.

Chapter 6

"I'm pregnant." Kurama's words seemed to ring in Hiei's head.

If he weren't so upset Kurama would have laughed at the expression on his lover's face. Hiei's mouth hung open and he seemed to have forgotten how to blink.

/Hiei, did Kurama just say he was… pregnant/ It took Hiei a moment to realize Kuronue was speaking to him. Hiei nodded his head. /Uh huh./

Kurama nervously watched as Hiei just stared at him nodding his head.

/He means with a baby right? Our baby? Hiei how could you be so mean to the mother of our child? Apologize now, before he starts crying./ Kuronue was getting upset and Hiei was getting a headache. /Shut up Kuro! I'll take care of it./

Hiei suddenly noticed the unshed tears in his mate's beautiful green eyes. Realizing Kuronue might be right he knew he had to fix this before Kurama really did cry. "Kurama, I don't know what to say."

/Not that, you stupid fire demon/ Hiei tried to ignore the voice in his head.

Kurama slowly stood, turned his back on Hiei and answered in a steely voice. "I think you've said quite enough Hiei."

Hiei tried to take his hand. "Kurama, I…"

The fire demon was cut off when Kurama pulled away from him. "The family's waiting Hiei. I think it would be best if Kuro were the one to help me deal with them."

Hiei stiffened. "If that's what you want Fox."

"It is." The too calm tone in Kurama's voice told Hiei he had screwed up.

Without another word Kurama felt Kuronue appearbut for the first time didn't turn to greet him. "Are you mad at me too Kuro?"

The Chimera came up behind Kurama but didn't touch him. "No one's mad Sweetheart, just worried. You are more important to us than anything. What you did could have been dangerous. Do you know what happened that turned you female?"

Kurama turned to glare at him. "Don't you mean what went wrong? I said there was one part I couldn't do on my own. I found a way to get pregnant, I just wouldn't have been able to maintain the pregnancy. I went to the Goddess of Love and asked for her help. She thought us all having a baby was a wonderful idea. I didn't realize the bitch had a twisted sense of humor. Look I don't want to talk about this any more. Let's just go talk to the family so they'll leave."

Before Kurama could leave Kuronue grabbed him. "No matter who or what you are Kurama, I love you and I'm thrilled we're having a baby."

Kuronue gave him a gentle kiss then picked him up and left the tree house. He smiled at Kurama's curious look. "If you get dizzy you could fall and get hurt. Now get ready, the guys are going to have a field day when they see you like this. Just remember, I think you're gorgeous as a female."

Kuronue was right of course. Once everyone was reassured that Kurama was alright Yusuke and Kuwabara couldn't stop laughing. Yusuke managed to get control of himself first. "Damn Kurama, if it's possible, you're even hotter as a chick."

Keiko smacked the back of his head. "Yusuke you jerk! Kurama, this is so exciting. You're really going to have a baby. Oh, I just realized, who's the father, Hiei or Kuronue?"

Kurama tried to smile. It wasn't their fault things hadn't gone as well as he hoped. "I'm not really sure, it could be either of them. Actually, I'm not even sure who conceived, Yoko or Shuuichi."

You could almost see the wheels in Yusuke's head turning as he thought about what that implied. "That must have been one hell of an orgy. Whatever was in that potion I want some for Keiko and me." Then he ran as Keiko chased after him yelling.

Kurama turned to find Koenma waiting to speak to him. "I have a message for you. At first it didn't make any sense but after hearing your announcement and seeing you like this it makes perfect sense. The Goddess of Love said to tell you not to worry. That on the third full moon after the 'event' everything would go back to normal."

Yukina came forward after getting her husband under control. "Kurama that's perfect. You'll have three months to nurse the baby before you become a male again."

Again Kurama tried to smile for his family. "That is perfect Yukina." Inside he wasn't so sure. 'I just hope my marriage lasts that long.'

It seemed to take forever for everyone to leave. Kuronue had tried to give Kurama some space. Patiently he waited outside the den. He could hear Kurama and Shina talking inside.

"Mama is everything alright? You've been awfully quiet. Kuro-Daddy is so excited about this baby." Shina was trying to cheer Kurama up.

"Yes it seems that way. Too bad Hiei doesn't feel the same." Kurama sounded so sad it broke Shina's heart. Outside Kuronue was thinking the same thing. He, however, had a fire demon in his head he could yell at.

"Oh Mama. I'm sure Daddy's excited about having another child. You know how much he secretly loves them. You didn't see how upset he was when he told Yokuro to get Aunt Yukina. He was just caught off guard with the way he found out, that's all." Shina was petting Kurama's hair.

Kurama leaned into her caress. "You didn't hear him Little Fox. He was so mad at me. In all these years Hiei's never yelled at me like that before."

"Just give him a little time. Now that he knows you're safe and that you'll change back a few months after the baby is born he'll settle down. Once this sinks in he'll be so happy. Now you need to go to bed. Kuro-Daddy's waiting for you." Shina gave Kurama a big hug then sent him to find Kuronue.

Kuronue carried Kurama back up to the den and got him settled in bed. "Sweetheart, Hiei would really like to…"

"No, not tonight, please Kuro. I'm too tired to deal with this right now. I don't want to fight with him anymore. Just come to bed, I want you to hold me." Kuronue didn't need to be asked twice. He crawled into bed and folded his mate tight into his arms.

/You really screwed up this time Hiei./ At any other time Kuronue would enjoy taking advantage of Hiei's mistake, but this one was hurting Kurama and he just couldn't be happy about it. As he fell asleep he heard Hiei's reply.

/I know Kuro, I just wish I knew how to make it right./
