The Last Kuran

Chapter 10: Life Continues

A year later, things eventually returned to normal with some minor changes. Kaname, Yuki, and Zero reestablished peace between the hunters and vampires. That wasn't hard to do with Kaname now being head of the Vampire Senate and Zero is now the President of the Association. Formalities still need to be observed in business, but they managed.

In their personal lives, the three vampires are living together. Things were not always easy, especially in the beginning of their new found lives together, but they managed. Yuki is happy to have both men back in her life once again, Kaname is happy to have Yuki again and not have to hide anymore. Zero, well he's happy for everything to be as it should. Kaname and Zero have learned how to get along, if only for Yuki's sake, at least in the beginning, but now they seem to have formed a strong bond of friendship that neither realized had started the year before.

Currently, Yuki is lying on the bed in the room she shared with Kaname, rubbing her hands over her bulging baby bump. She was watching as Kaname got dressed while to she couldn't get a word in edgewise to convince his as to why he needs to stay home. "But Kan…" She tried again, but it was no use. "Everything will be fine Yuki. You have your cell phone with my number on speed dial and Zero is in the next room if you have need of him. You know I wouldn't leave if I didn't have too, not this close to your due date for the baby, but I just don't have a choice." Kaname said when she made a face at him that he didn't seem to understand. He just didn't seem to understand why tonight she would be trying to keep him home of all nights.

"But Kaname, I…" Yuki tried once more, but Kaname cute her off again. "I have to go love, I don't have time for this." And he headed for the door, only to have the way blocked. "Kaname, if you actually were paying attention, you'd know that Yuki has been in labor instead of trying to be the all important vampire. She needs you stay home, and not walk out while she's delivering your child." Zero said to Kaname with ice dripping from every word he spoke. It was that tone of voice from Zero that truly caught his attention. He only spoke like that when Kaname was being stupid about something important, and this was the most important event at the moment.

Kaname's eyes grew wide, and turned around to look at Yuki, whose face was currently scrunched up in pain. He turned back around to Zero with panic in his eyes. He pulled out his cell to call the doctor, when Zero shook his head. "I already called half an hour ago, but you might want to reschedule your all important meeting. You won't be making it." Zero said coldly to him

Zero was seriously angry right now since Yuki had been in labor for over five hours, and Kaname wouldn't pay any attention long enough for anyone to tell him he was being a block head. While on the phone, the sound of water gushing could be heard with a feminine scream from the direction Yuki was on the bed.

Zero ran towards the bed to confirm, yep, her water broke and the baby is on its way. Kaname hurried off the phone and joined them at the bed. Yuki yelled again as another contraction hit, squeezing Zero's hand. When the height of the contraction was on her, she made noises like she was struggling with something. That's when Kaname realized that the baby wasn't going to wait for the doctor to arrive. Zero got Yuki to let go of his hand and ran to get the supplies needed for delivering the baby and returned.

Yuki pushed again, and zero could see the head beginning to show. Kaname was excited; his child was on the way. The contractions were one on top of the other, and the baby was descending quite rapidly. Yuki screamed again the baby reached the opening, causing an excruciating, burning sensation. "Stop pushing Yuki. Breath, Pant until I tell you differently." Zero instructed. She stopped pushing, ready to kick Zero in the face for telling her to quit doing the one thing her body was telling to do, but she couldn't move her legs to even jab a toe in his eye. The asshole is so lucky he didn't have to deal with this pain, but he would suffer just as soon as she could knock his ball sack into next week. "What ever you're doing down there, you had better hurry up." Yuki panted out between breaths.

"Ok Yuki, small little pushes. If you push too hard, you'll tear." Zero said in less than a minute, the head passed and Yuki was preparing for the next contraction that was bearing down on her. "Ok Yuki, start pushing again." Zero said. "THANK GOD!" she exclaimed, and started pushing with everything she had. Two more pushes and the baby slipped free from its mother. Zero tied the umbilical cord, cut it, and went to wash the baby. When Yuki scrunched her face together again, Kaname was concerned there might be something wrong. "It's the after birth Kaname, nothing to worry about."

Couple of hours later, Yuki was sleeping and Zero had retired to his room to sleep. Kaname sat in the chair that was by the bed, holding his son, thinking back to the events past. This little miracle almost didn't happen on more than one occasion. He will never forget the night that he and Yuki finally got to sit down to talk about the night that he disappeared. "I knew that I was being hunted, that someone was planning to kill me. That's why I arranged for Zero to be there that night in the park. I went into hiding, for I could find out who was after me. When I learned you were in danger, I came back, only to find out that you were already taken by the Association. I'm sorry Yuki, but I thought that you were going to be safe. I should have known better. I'm so sorry love." Kaname pleaded.

He will never forget the pain in her eyes as he explained what happened, and why he left for those five years. He couldn't believe the forgiveness she had in her for what he had done. It took awhile to earn her trust again, but he had done it eventually.

The next night, all three of them celebrated the birth of Menno Kuran, Kaname's heir and the Pureblood Prince.
