Chapter 3

Soul Eater and it's characters do not belong to me, they belong to their original creators

Chapter 3) Pregnancy. Its a girl!

"Come on Soul! We're going to be late for my appointment!" A very pregnant Maka Evans called from the living-room. "Give me a minute woman! You're the one that absolutely had to have cinnamon peanut butter pancakes" Soul replied, walking into the living-room with a few of said pancakes on a disposable plate. "Here" he handed her the plate and her eyes lit up. They then headed out the door with Maka eating her breakfast on the way.

Since Maka was so far along in her pregnancy, they couldn't take the motorcycle. They were currently in search for their first car. Soul was going to sell his motorcycle in order to get a car, until Maka chopped him into reconsidering to just getting a car and keeping his bike. So there Soul and Maka was, walking through Death City towards Shibusen's separate doctors office, their woman's pregnancy center division meant for meisters and weapons.

"These pancakes are really good Soul, thank you for making them" Maka complimented, throwing away her now empty plate in a trash bin. Soul merely shrugged, reaching for her hand now that she wasn't eating. "Are you excited for this appointment? I am, i think its a boy. What do you think Soul?" Maka asked him, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I think its a girl. And I bet she'll look just like you" Soul responded. "Well what if it is a girl, but she looks like you?" Maka asked curiously. "Well then I'd love her all the same" Maka's heart swelled with adoration. Teasingly she responded, "well I still think its a boy." "Yeah, okay Maka. We'll find out soon enough." Soul replied, kissing her cheek causing her to giggle.

They finally reached the doctors office a little while later, walking in thankful for the air conditioning inside. Soul signed Maka in as she went to find a seat. Of course she sat next to a book shelf. Soul chuckled. She was too cute. After she was all signed in the lady at the desk said it'll be about a 15 minute wait. So Soul left to go sit with his wife, whom was already in a book.

"Hey Soul, did you know that a woman's uterus grows 500 times its normal size when pregnant? Thats pretty incredible, considering most women can go right back to being so skinny afterwards, the female anatomy is pretty interesting" Maka ranted off, eyes never leaving the paper. "Yeah, sure. Though it's pretty disturbing if you ask me. I heard from Nygus about the birthing process, its kind of gross" Soul replied. Maka slapped his arm at the gross comment. "It is not gross, its a beautiful process in which a new life is born." Soul decided to be smart and not say anything in retaliation. Maka went back to reading her pregnancy book while Soul grabbed himself a magazine.

A while of waiting and a trip to the vending machine later Maka's name was finally called for her appointment. To say Maka was excited was an understatement. She was absolutely jumping with joy. She was literally bouncing up a bit off her heels with ever step she took. They took her weight and height and then recorded her blood pressure and pulse rate. Once everything was checked, they were lead into an ultrasound room where they were to find out the gender of their baby.

"Hello mrs. and mr. Evans, its nice to see you two again. Are you excited to know the gender of your baby?" The nice nurse asked with a smile, pouring some gel on Maka's stomach. Maka flinched at the coldness of the gel. "Yeah, we're very excited and so are our friends" Maka merrily replied. The nurse giggled and began the ultrasound. A few minutes later, a picture of a baby appeared on the screen, wiggling and twitching around inside maka. The nurse took different angles and typed stuff on the screen, the lettering was too far away for Soul to make out.

She then printed the photos before handing them to the expectant parents. "Congratulations, it's a girl" the nurse said with a smile, handing maka some tissues to clean up with. Maka squealed in delight. Soul chuckled at her cuteness, not being able to remove his eyes from the pictures of his babygirl.

Later that day Maka called the girls over. When they arrived Soul greeted them before leaving to go hang with black star. "So what did the doctor say Maka?" Tsubaki questioned. Liz and Patty both piped up at the question. Maka grinned before bringing the ultrasound photos. The girls all squealed in delight of the photos. "Its a girl!" Maka exclaimed happily. "Have you and Soul thought of names yet?" Liz inquired. "Well, the names we picked out for a girl we still have to decide on which, but our favorite 2 names we've got narrowed down were 'Harleen Kami Evans' and 'Lily Rose Evans'. We can't seem to decide just yet but I'm sure we'll have the right name to suit her" Maka responded with a smile. "Ooh! I have an idea!!" Patty looked up from her giraffe drawing. The other girls looked at her quizzically. "Lets plan a baby shower!" The girls squealed yet again, surely the neighbors were getting tired of all the squealing.

Back at Black Star and Tsubaki's place, Soul and Black Star were having a conversation of their own. Kidd wasn't with them, he insisted he stay home and do his routinely check on everything in the manor to ensure it's symmetry.

"So dude, a girl?" Black star asked. "Yeah, Maka's excited, she called the girls over to the apartment as soon as we got home." Soul responded. Both men were sitting on black stars couch, chilling out. "That's cool, I wonder if she'll be a bookworm like Maka" Black Star snickered. Soul chuckled himself. "I wouldn't be surprised. I mean the kid isn't even born yet but i still catch Maka in the nursery reading a book out loud" Black Star laughed at that. "Hahaha what a nerd! She's not even in school anymore and she's still a bookworm!" Black Star was laughing way more than a normal person would at something like that. "Well it's getting close to 5, lets go check this thing out eh?" Soul stated, rising from the couch as a floundering Black Star finished with his insistent cackling. A few minutes later both walked out the door.

It was 7 o'clock, and Maka was just finishing up dinner when Soul came through the door. He was shocked to see all the paper and coloring utensils that was scattered across the table. He was distracted from the mess by the wonderful smell coming from the kitchen; Chicken Alfredo and corn bread. He made his way towards the kitchen to see Maka at the stove frying diced chicken. Maka smiled when warm hands circled her and rested on her rounded belly.

"Hey Soul, dinners almost done, i just have to finish this and then mix it. The corn bread is already out of the oven" Maka stated as she began turning off the burner she was frying on and moving the chicken to the pot of noodles. Soul kissed her neck in response, moving to the kitchen table to wait. 5 minutes later dinner was served.

"So what did you and the girls do today? I see the paper and things in the living-room" Soul questioned, taking a bite out of the delicious food. "They wanted to plan a baby shower so we did. Its set for next month on the 15th" Maka replied while buttering her corn bread. "That's cool. Do you need me to get anything from the store before hand?" Soul responded "um, I don't think so, Tsubaki said she's bring some food and snacks, I'm making sandwiches which we already have the stuff for, and Liz and Patty are making an invite list." Maka replied thoughtfully, eating her dinner in delight. She'd been craving chicken Alfredo all day. "Alright, well if you change your mind let me know." Soul rebutted. "Hey, after i finish the dishes i want to show you something" he voiced. Maka nodded, mouth full of food. They ate in a comfortable silence for the rest of dinner.

Soul placed the last of the dishes into the dish washer and then dried his hands, making his way to the living room to fetch Maka. She was sitting on the couch munching on some cookies watching the evening news. "Hey Maks, come on, i've got something to show you." Soul spoke, grabbing the apartment keys and holding the door open for his pregnant wife. He closed and locked the door before helping her down the stairs and too the apartment complex's car garage. "Soul, what in deaths name are you showing me thats way out here?" Maka inquired a bit snarky, her feet were a bit swollen and sore from the added weight of her pregnancy. "You'll see, i promise you'll like it" Soul voiced in response as they finally reached the garage, guiding her to a parking spot where a red '2013 Chevrolet Traverse Crossover' was parked. "Soul, whats this?" Maka questioned werrily. Soul had his signature toothy grin. "This is our new car" he responded. Maka's jaw dropped. "B-but how? You didn't sell your bike did you?? I told you not to" Maka exclaimed worriedly. Soul laughed. "No, no i didn't see my bike see?" He lead her to the other side, drivers side, of the vehicle to reveal his bike. "Still there. I've been saving a little bit out of my pay checks, the teacher pay checks and the death scythe checks cover more than you think. Why don't you hop in and we'll go for a ride?" Soul suggested, to which Maka smiled, kissed him and then jumped into the passenger seat. Soul entered as well and started the engine. Maka was in love with the car's interior and everything. Soul put the car into motion and they set off. After a while of driving, (and messing with the radio) Maka started to recognize a certain neighborhood they were driving through. "Hey, I recognize this place, my old friend Zoe used to live here before she moved a few years ago" Maka vocalized, a bit confused as to why they were here. Her confusion grew when they pulled up to a blue 2 story house. "What's this place?" Maka pried. Soul looked at her with a smile. "Its our new home once we move in" Soul replied. He handed her the door keys and she squealed taking them before jumping out the car to go inside. Soul merrily followed his ecstatic wife.

Maka was impressed, the house was beautiful! An big open living room with fluffy white carpet that lead into a beautiful dining room with light oak hardwood floors. The kitchen was separated from the livingroom and dining room via a marble topped 2 sided bar. The kitchen was amazing, white marbled tile, dark wood cabinets, a black dishwasher and a big modern refrigerator and a sweet microwave. Upstairs were 4 bedrooms, one master bed and 3 other rooms, all nice, big rooms with the same fluffy carpet as the living room. The hallways were light oak hardwood floors as was the stair case. There was a bathroom down stairs with a toilet and walk in shower and a tub and an identical bathroom upstairs. The master bathroom had a toilet, double sink, a walk in shower and a huge corner bath tub. Maka was in complete awe with everything in the house. Her hormones got the best of her as she started crying. Soul chuckled as he pulled her in for a hug. "Oh my death Soul, this is more than I could have ever hoped to have in life, I love you so much, our daughter is going to have the best childhood living in this house" Maka praised her amazing husband as they joined into a sweet kiss.
