OMG I thought would never let me download this chapter.

Wow this has been fun. I got a laptop a couple of weeks ago and this is the first time I got to take it with me on a trip. I'm a huge Diamondback's baseball fan and we went to Phoenix for the weekend and saw two games. My husband drove and I got to write this chapter. This is so cool.

Your request for babies will probably happen in the next chapter

Chapter 14

Hiei smirked as he secretly watched his mate just after sunrise. Kurama shifted and sighed then grunted and tried to roll over only to have her tummy get in the way. Frustrated she sighed and rolled back. She did this every night before falling asleep, then again in the morning before she was ready to get up. Finding a comfortable position to sleep in had become more difficult the further she got into her pregnancy.

By Youko standards, she and Shina could have their kits at any time now. Kurama, however, being part human might have a bit longer to wait. Her pregnancy was different from Shina's in a few ways. Shina's powers didn't go haywire the way Kurama's did. Sneezing and hiccups cause flower blossoms to explode, her pleasure when Hiei or Kuronue make love to her though made everything bloom. When she's sad her plants freeze and when angry they burst into flames.

Physically they were different too. Shina's size was about the same as it had been with Hiro so they knew she was progressing normally. Kurama's stomach however was much larger than Shina's. Every time Yukina checked her she would just smile and say that Kurama and the kit were fine and not to worry.

It was agreed that having fire and ice powers meant that Hiei had fathered the kit. Kurama had worried about Kuronue's reaction to that news. He however reassured her that he and Hiei were both her child's father no matter who sired it.

Finally taking pity on his mate, Hiei turned her so her back was too him and pulled her into his arm. He and Kuronue had discovered that holding her like that and rubbing her tummy usually made her and the baby more comfortable. "Thank you Koi. I didn't mean to wake you so early."

He nuzzled his face into her soft hair. "Hn. Hiro would have woken us in a moment anyway. Pull the covers up Baby."

She had just covered herself when their grandson's voice called from the entrance to the tree house. "Nana, Papa, are you up yet?"

He poked head around the corner then ran to the bed and carefully crawled into her outstretched arms. "We were up, Hiro. Why are you up so early this morning?"

He looked up at her with big green eyes, pouting. "Mom's been up cleaning for hours and I couldn't sleep. She's grumpy and doing really weird things too. She had Dad get the futon, pillows and blankets from the upstairs bedroom and took everything in their room. She won't let anyone in there either, not even Dad."

One look from Kurama, and Hiei removed the ward over the jagon to check on their daughter. He smiled and nodded to her before retying the ward.

Kurama smiled and kissed Hiro's forehead. "Your Mom is nesting Hiro. It means she's getting ready to have her baby soon. She did the same thing the day before you were born."

Hiro sat up excited by her words. "You mean I finally get to know whether I have a brother or a sister? Nana, why won't you or Mom let Aunt Yukina tell anyone what the babies are? She said she could tell what kind of demon they are too."

Kurama was glad he was so interested in the new babies. "Well Fox-Boy, it's more exciting not to know. This way we get to be surprised. We didn't know what you were till you were born either. The only thing we will let Aunt Yukina tell us is if the babies are alright or if there's a problem. Otherwise we want to wait till they're born."

Hiei picked Hiro up and set him on his lap. "I could see what the babies are with the jagon but like Nana said we want to be surprised. Besides we already know the baby has fire and ice powers."

Hiro giggled. "Yeah, cause Nana's powers are all crazy."

Ruffling his hair Kurama sat up with the covers pulled up to cover her breasts. "Hiro, why don't you take your Mom some of the pillows from around the table. She wanted them too when you were born. Papa and I will get dressed while you're gone then, if she doesn't need us we can go play."

Hiro jumped up and grabbed three pillows. "Yippy. Papa can we fly off the cliff again? That's my favorite!"

"Only if it won't give my Fox a heart attack. I won't have her upset." Both demons looked at Kurama with obvious anticipation.

Shaking her head, Kurama laughed. "Oh alright. My heart will survive. At least this time I'll know you're going to jump off a cliff."

Hiro jumped for joy before running out to deliver the pillows to Shina. "Hurry and dress Kitten, he'll be back soon."

Kurama, Hiei and later Kuronue had spent the day taking care of Hiro. Yokuro spent his day doing anything his rather demanding mate wanted. He gathered pillows, cushions and blankets. He brought her various foods depending on her craving, once even going to the fortress to ask Kenji to get hamburgers from the Ningenkai.

By evening Shina was cloistered in her bedroom. The others could hear her rearranging things. Occasionally something would be tossed out of the room only to be retrieved later. Everyone smiled knowing her kit would be born in the next day or two.

Kurama had seen the guys were fed and was tucking Hiro into bed. Once he was asleep she went to check on Shina. Kurama knocked and call through the door. "Little Fox, is there anything we can do for you?"

There was shuffling, sighs and a couple of swear words before Shina poked her nose out the door. "Daisies. I need daisies. Do you have any?"

Kurama was a little surprised at the request but answered without missing a beat. "I think I have some in the tree house. I'll be right back."

As Kuronue watched Kurama waddle across the room rubbing her tummy he couldn't help but smile. "Wait Foxie-Kitten, I'll get them. Just tell me what to get."

Grateful, Kurama sat in a large chair. "Thank you Darling. My seeds are in the boxes on the shelf by the low table. Get the one marked ningen flowers."

When Kuronue returned a few minutes later Kurama tried to get up but found she was stuck in the chair. Kuronue watched amused as she struggled before offering to help. "How about a hand Sweetheart?"

Kurama smacked away his offered hand, pouting. "It's not funny Kuro! I look like a blimp. You impregnated me with a whale not a baby."

/Hiei, I don't know what a blimp and whale are. Help./ Kuronue knelt before his mate waiting for Hiei's answer. /How would I know Kuro? They must be stupid ningen things./

/Thanks for nothing Hiei./ He smiled lovingly at his mate. "No matter how big you get or what you look like you are always beautiful to me my Foxie-Kitten."

Kurama's pout faded to a smile and she accepted Kuronue's kiss. He deepened the kiss at Hiei's mental push. /Good save Bat Boy. We have our work cut out for us keeping her happy till our kit is born./

When Kuronue was sure she was distracted by the kiss he gently lifted her from the chair and into his arms. Breaking the kiss Kuronue slowly nibbled his way to her ear. "Shina's waiting for something called a daisy Sweetheart."

Kurama quickly recovered from his kiss, grew the requested flowers and took them to Shina. When they were sure there was nothing else they could do to help, Kuronue took Kurama back to the tree house and tucked her into bed.

Knowing the Youko was tired Kuronue spooned her against his chest and rubbed her tummy until she slept peacefully in his arms. /Hiei, our Fox has been really uncomfortable lately. She tires easily and she's so much bigger than Shina. Maybe we should talk to Yukina or have you use the jagon to check our kit./

Hugging Kurama tight, Kuronue realized he worried more when he was actually with her. /Kuro, Yukina would tell us if there were a problem. It's probably just different because she's part human. She says human infants are larger than demons./

Accepting Hiei's decision Kuronue snuggled into Kurama and slept.
