Chapter Five- A Long Labor

Elie was frantic, she had no idea what to do, the baby was two months early and Elie was not prepared nor was anybody else.

" This can't be good, this can't be good!" Elie whispered to herself as she cringed in pain, "Oh, why did Haru and Musica have to pick a night to search for the Rave Stones! Didn't they notice that I've been have labor pains the whole day!"

Elie knew screaming about this wasn't going to solve anything, but there was nothing else she could do seeing as the baby was coming and bringing Hell with it. Elie did not-stop praying that the boys would be back to camp soon. And hopefully they found nothing.

Haru, Musica, Griff, and Plue hiked through the woods searching for clues for the next Rave Stone for what seemed like hours. The deeper they got into the woods the more worried Hard got. Soon hours felt like days, then months, maybe even years if Hard hadn't have stopped and said something.

"Hey guys, do you really think it was a good idea to leave Elie all alone?" Hard asked. Suddenly Griff gasped... a very, very loud gasp.

"Master Haru! Do you think that Miss Elie could be in labor?"

"No, well, maybe, she did say she was having serious stomach pains lately, I mean it could be labor pains... What do you think Musica?"

"Chill out man, Elie is seven months pregnant, she still has two more months to go, so just relax, take a chill pill or somthn'." Replied Musica more annoyed than ever.

"Yeah I know but haven't you ever heard of premature babies?"

"All right, you know fine if you are SO worried about your previous Elie then go back to her, see if I care, I'm fed up with you anyways!"

"Musica," Haru began, " You're such an Ass Musica!" Haru walked away leaving an opened mouthed Musica staring in shock.

At half- way point from the camp Haru stopped. He had though he'd heard something, he strained his ears and listened harder. Screams, screaming is what he heard. Suddenly Haru's face became pale and horror struck. He ran as fast as he could back to camp, Haru had a feeling in the pit of his stomach, a feeling he didn't like.

' What if Elie really is in labor, or worse? ' Haru thought in shock as he ran back to camp, 'I should have stayed with her, but I had to be big headed and say my mission was more important. I am such a Bitch.'

Musica walked through the woods still furious with Haru. Again Griff's high pitched voice popped up.

"Musica, don't you think you were to hard on Master Haru, I mean what if Miss Elie really is in labor, don't you care? At all?" Griff asked.

"No, I couldn't care less." replied Musica.

"Pluuuue." said Plue

As he walked playing the massaged argument between him and Haru over and over again. Musica stopped, maybe he had been to hard on Haru and Elie. After all Elie was pregnant with Haru's child. If it had been his child, he probably would have felt the same way. Wasting no time at all, Musica turned around quickly and ran back to camp with Plue and Griff at his heels.

A/N - well? what do ya think? To short to long (ya right) or way to crappie? R&R and let me know.
