CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
Hitomi had gotten news that next month that Fanelia, Fried, and Asturia had surrounded Zaibach's boarders. Hitomi sighed as it was her ninth month as well. She wondered when it would come now, any day now her child should be coming and she would be a mother. She had help from a woman in the tribe named Risa to make some cloths for the baby whenever it would be born. She just hoped that the cloths would be the right size if not they could easily be ultered. Hitomi also had some cloths that where to the tribe's traditional style since her cloths would make her stick out had any unwanted guest happened to come by, this time she could easily say that she was found when she was a child and was raised by the clan.
She could see that Van was giving orders from the front line as he waited in his EscaFlowne. She clung to Merle who looked at her strangely. "Hitomi, what's wrong?" Merle asked.
"Van, the war's starting." Hitomi said as she slid to the floor, letting go of Merle. It was at that point to when she felt her water break. "MERLE GO GET RISA!" Hitomi shouted and she even sort of blushed at her embarrassment of her water breaking and all over the floor to.
"Hitomi…" Merle said wanting to ask why but was interrupted.
"GO!" Hitomi shouted. Merle left as quickly as she could. "Van, I wish you where here!"

The battle started, he could feel himself getting excited about battle again. 'The black guymelof, where is it?' Van asked himself as he looked around for it. 'Hitomi said something about the black guymelof.' He hadn't spotted the black one but he had spotted the red one instead. "DILANDAU!" Van shouted after he had given his men their orders.
"VAN!" Dilandau said In his normal creepy happy war fighting voice. "I've been waiting for this VAN!" Dilandau shouted.

Giving birth was like nothing she had expected, it wasn't easy and that was a fact. It was long, tiring, and painful. Her loud screaming could be heard over the coming snow storm.
"GO GET ME SOME WARM BLANKETS AND HOT WATER!" Risa shouted at Merle who nodded and ran out.
"Hang in there Hitomi, for Van-Sama." Merle said as she entered Risa's hut and ran in to Risa's sister. "Risa needs some more blankets and hot water."
"It's time for Queen Hitomi's baby?" Karin asked.
"Yes, please hurry. I'll come back for the water but do you have blankets?" Merle asked.
"Yes, I'll get them." Karin said.
Merle ran back to the hut to where she and Hitomi stayed.
Hitomi's long labor then began.
