Chapter 3: Visits

They had been on their honey moon, they went to Hawaii, Liz really wanted to wear her bathing suit one more time before she got stretch marks. But this afternoon they ended up spending most of the day in bed. But the sun was setting and Kid went off to get some ice. Liz put on her robe and looked over the hotels menu, she was suppose to order their dinner so they could have dinner together on the balcony as the sun set. Liz stepped on to the balcony and gazed to the setting Sun, and a smile came to her face.

"Hello." Said a creaky voice.

Liz turned to see a dark figure standing on the balcony ledge. The figure was a small woman dressed in dark clothing, a raggedy old cloak, a black robe,her face was hidden but bandages covered where one of her eyes should be but a red eye was still visible, her clothes seemed to be held together with safety pins and she was an old white pointy hat with a sharp tooth grinning face.

Liz knew who she was in an instant, every student in the school knew who she was. She was Mabaa the leader of the witches. She was reportedly the most powerful witch in the world, every student was told to avoid her because only Lord Death was thought to rival her powers. Frankly besides Free and Lord Death Liz had never heard of anyone every confronting her and living.

Liz took a step back and without even realizing it placed her hand over her stomach. She was scared, she didn't know what to do even if she transformed she wouldn't be able to attack, if she called out to Kid she knew that the witch would kill her before she was able to finish calling his name.

"Don't worry child," The witch said. "I didn't come to hurt you or your unborn child."

Everything inside Liz wanted to breakdown and cry, but she couldn't think about herself anymore she had to protect her baby now. Liz had to think and be ready to run at the first opening she got, she had to be careful and buy sometime until Kid got back or to find someway to alert him.

"So why are you here?" Liz said trying to sound confident.

Mabaa raised an eyebrow. "I came to congratulate you on the upcoming birth of your first child." She said as calmly and so sincerely you almost believed her.

"Why would you do that? You and the grandfather don't get along."

"No, I don't get along with Lord Death nor his son, your husband and the father of the child. Though it would serve a great blow to both of them to kill you and the unborn child..." She paused as if thinking over the idea. "I'm not a kishin, I'm not a monster. I would not kill an unborn child and a defenseless mother. My entire visit is more of a condolences to the victim of my enemy."

"What are you talking about?"

She raised her eyebrow again. "You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"The nature of your child."

"What about my child?" Liz said a distinct anger creeping into her voice.

"Your husband and father of the child is the son of Lord Death. He is like his father a shinigami, a death god. It stands to reason like child like father your child will be a death god as well."

"Another one of your enemies?"

"Yes, that is most likely the case. But have you ever stopped to think how a death god is born?"

"No, wouldn't they be born the same way as everyone else."

"But they are not like everyone else, they are death gods. Death gods can only be born through death. Don't you understand? They are using you as nothing more than a carrier. The child can only be born at the cost of your own life."

Liz was silent for a moment. "That's not true."

"Isn't it? Have you ever asked your new husband about his mother? Has he ever spoken of her?"

"Um no."

"Don't blame him, he probably doesn't know the cost of his life, his father probably protect his him from this information. Protecting him like any parent would protect their child. It does bring up the question: when the time comes will you be willing to give up your life for your child's?"

The door swung open and Kid came in carrying a bucket of ice.

"Kid!" Liz said turning towards Kid and then turning back to see that Mabaa had vanish leaving no trace that she had ever been there.

Liz ran up and hugged Kid. He asked. "Is everything all right?"

"Yes." She lied. "I just wanted to touch you." She joked trying to push the memories of the witch out of her head.

"I guess you didn't order dinner."

"No, I was hoping you would do it."

They spent the rest of their honeymoon on the beach and doing some very touristy things.

Month past and Liz tried to forget her talk with the witch just as her trying to scare her to hurt Kid and his father. But everyday she worried more, she did trust Kid but what she said made sense he never spoke of his mother, might this be why.

She tried to bring the subject up with Kid but he just told her he never thought about having a mother. He didn't spend a lot of time with kids so the subject never came up. She did think of asking Lord Death but she never had the courage to do so.

Stein ended up doing a lot of prenatal care for the couple, he checked them out and said they were healthy. Stein suggested that the shinigami nature of the baby was keeping the mother just as healthy as the baby. Liz did try to avoid the appointments with Stein, cause every time she went he would have that I want to dissect look.

Liz's belly began to swell. Kid was very supportive, through all the odd food craving and mood swings. Patti learned not to say anything bad about her weight once the mood swings began.

The girls threw Liz a baby shower for her when she was nearing giving birth. So they had the shower while the guys struggled to set up the baby crib. Since Kid and Liz decided to not find out the gender of the baby until after it was born, most of the gifts were unisex or they gave one for a boy and one for a girl.

Patti and Blair gave a whole zoo of stuffed animals, thought Liz thought Patti got it for the stuffed Giraffe and Blair got it because she liked all the cute cats. Tsubaki brought a cute rattle. Maka gave Liz a bunch of baby books suggesting Liz should read to her child every night.

Maka went with Liz to get some more drink, Liz planned it so she could ask her a question in private.

"So what do you hope the baby will be?" Maka asked.

"Um Maka?" Liz ignored the question. "I was wondering about something. I was wondering if you know about Kids family."

"Kids family?"

"He doesn't know too much about his family. You know I wanted to know if Lord Death had any kids before?"

"No, as far as I know the general history of Lord Death, I've never heard of him having another child besides Kid."

"How about Kid's mom?"

"I don't know. I never heard of Kid's mom. He never talks about her, I just started to assume being a god Lord Death didn't need... to you know."

"I guess." Liz tried to change the subject.

She really didn't have to when everyone started to hear Black Star screamed when he hit his hand with a hammer.

Liz loved Kid and she trusted him and she knew that no matter what he would never knowingly let anything hurt her. Now Liz wondered something if worse came than would she be able to give her life for her child.
