Chapter Two: The Seed

XXXXXXX

It turned out that Faust the Eighth was the person to see about fertility. His and Eliza's house was more tenebrous than Pyron thought it would be and the gloomy weather didn't make it look any more inviting. It was like a setting out of an H.P. Lovecraft story except it was a little more bare and Japanese.

"Are you okay?" his girlfriend asked.

"Hmm? Oh yes, I'm just thinking about a few things," he replied.

"This is our last chance to turn back."

"I want nothing else."

"Okay. Let's do this."

Bang, bang, bang! Jun knocked and cautiously called out a greeting. When silence met them, she took a deep breath and opened the door. Her mannerly half knew they shouldn't intrude, but the rich and proud one said it couldn't hurt. She was used to getting what she wanted all her life.

"Hello? Doctor? Mrs. Faust? It's Jun Tao! We had a two o' clock appointment with you!" she re-called.

"Perhaps they're on a house call or doing some extra work at the onsen," the kyonshi suggested.

"That can't be," she said, "I made an arrangement weeks in adva-"

"Good day," Faust the Eighth cryptically greeted, popping up behind them.

Jun gave a little yelp and Pyron instinctively pulled her closer.

"Heh heh. Have no fear. I just want to help you two," the doctor replied creepily.

Pyron narrowed his eyes and still did not let his beloved go. He didn't trust the guy any further than he could throw (or kick if necessary) him. For a second they wondered if this was wise. After all, Faust dissected people for fun and he was obviously mentally ill. (Not that there was anything wrong with that. He'd known a very nice actor who was also bipolar, but that was another story.) Still, they wanted a baby.

"Yes…well let's get down to business. How will this be accomplished and how do you know so much about fertility science? I thought you were a cardiologist (1)," the martial artist said as calmly as possible.

"It's very simple. My colleague Doctor Murphey will simply take out your sperm, wash it with a special chemical to prevent any discomfort to your partner, and inseminate her intracervically. He's a fertility specialist. "

"Why would you help us?"

"Empathy, my friend. I want to help you plant the seed that Eliza and I shall never be able to grow. Unlike you, her reproductive system cannot work any longer. Human sperm can survive for forty-eight hours after death, but from what your girlfriend has told me the special fluid you were preserved in allowed it to still survive."

The kyonshi's eyes softened a bit. Faust might have been insane, but his heart really was in the right place.

"A-hem! There's something you should know. There are greater odds for multiple births with artificial insemination. Do you still want to go through with it?" Faust said.

"The more the merrier," Jun chirped.

Her sweetheart nodded and added, "We'll take care of ten if we have to."

"Says you," she joked.

"Are you ready?" Faust questioned.

The couple nodded in unison.

"Well then follow Doctor Murphey into the back room where he will take a sperm sample and fertilize you, Miss Tao." he instructed.

Pyron squeezed the priestess's hand. They were going to be parents!

Four days after she missed her period Jun Tao found out she was pregnant.

"How about Teng Ai and Zhao Ao?" the White Dragon suggested.

The seventeen-week along mother moodily slurped her noodles. She didn't feel like picking out names right now for her twin girls for some reason.

"Well, I like Teng Ai. At least give some of my suggestions a second chance," he pleaded.

"It's unnatural," she whispered.

"What?" he questioned, frowning.

"It's unnatural! I haven't suffered from morning sickness yet."

"Eh? Why would you want to?"

"Because that's what pregnant women are supposed to do: be moody, have strange cravings, and throw up."

He gazed stonily at her and motioned for her to sit on his lap.

"What?" she asked.

"Come here," he said sternly.

When she begrudgingly obeyed he drew her into a passionate kiss. His cool lips pressed and plucked away at hers and they wrapped each other's arms in each other's hair. Hers was deliciously silky and freshly washed. He wished he could smell it.

Once they parted he reassured her, "You're not going through anything abnormal. Pregnancies are like fingerprints. No two are the same. My ex was only sick once when she was pregnant with our son. You just need to take care of yourself."

Her eyes were glued to the ground and she felt ashamed for acting so weak. Sometimes she doubted that she deserved this wonderful and sweet Sir Lancelot.

The dao-shi started another make out session and their grips tightened and each other. He chuckled softly- almost growled-and she giggled as his lips tickled her neck. They rarely made out nowadays, but when they did it was pure heaven.

Suddenly, her heart raced alarmingly high and she felt herself moisten in no place any virgin should. She was getting too turned on! Gasping, she bolted out of the room like a shot.

Okay, before you go into a big stink, let me say that I DO NOT SUPPORT NECROPHILIA!! I only wrote this for conflict. They're not going to have sex, but there's still the question of how Jun will relieve herself. What'll happen? You'll have too see in chappie three, peeps! Happy New Year!

1. It never specifies what kind of surgeon Faust is, so I'm taking some creative liberties.
