-Chp. 6-

"Come on Kanda, we haven't eaten anything today and I'm starved." Allen said with a smile, hoping to get Kanda out of his little trance. Lenalee and Lavi had just left and he was already that depressed looking. His stood clutching to Lavi's bandanna with his bang-hooded eyes, silent.

Allen decided to take Kanda's free hand and start leading him to the cafeteria. That was when Kanda decided to snap out of his trance and pull his hand away from Allen's.

"Food?" he asked simply, not really sure of what Allen had said a few moments back. Allen nodded and then laughed, turning back around and walking. Kanda followed, slipping the bandanna on and down so it hung loosely around his neck. "How is your... um, arm?" Kanda asked while they were walking, recalling when he had bit Allen.

"It's fine, not really that bad. It just hurt quite a bit." Allen said, turning his head back to give Kanda another smile while he stretched his arm out to show no major dissabilities.

"Oh... okay then." Kanda remained silent after that. When they were eating he barely touched his food, and still didn't speak a whole lot.

-Break/Kanda's POV-

I wasn't really sure on how to feel about things right now. Allen was actually really nice and helpful when you have him on your side. It was nice. But without Lavi... I just feel lost. I'm pissed off that he has to be away from me, but then again I'm so worried about him getting hurt.

"I hate him so much..." I breathed out, relaxing into the hot water of the bath. I was careful to keep my hair out of the water and had it bunned ontop of my head. My tail rested around my waist, soak, but my ears stayed dry just like my hair. It felt nice to relax after all the stress. Being pregnant had its ups and downs.

My ears perked when I heard the door creak open a bit. I could tell it wasn't threatening so I relaxed once more.

"Anyone in here?" Allen's voice asked from somewhere in the hear fogged area.

"I am, but it's alright. You can come in." Wait, I just said that. It's not that bad anyway, though Lavi might be mad if he found out...

"You sure? It's awkward because you're like a girl now!" Allen shouted slightly, though I could still hear him walking over. He felt embarrassed by it all.

"Just don't stare or purposely look and you'll be fine." I said, giving a small laugh at his nervousness. I heard him slip into the water next and he waded over to sit across from me. "Ha, he's blushing." I thought.

"This is still awkward." Allen muttered, looking away and to the side. It was my moment to laugh out loud from his actions.

"It's more awkward that I'm pregnant." I said with a small grin, teasing Allen a bit.

"Shut up..." I heard him grumble. I just splashed water in his direction and went back to relaxing. "So... how does it feel being like a girl?" Allen asked a little timidly. I was shocked, I never expected him to ask that.

"Different... I'm not really sure how to explain it. Che." Now I was frustrated. I couldn't really give a proper answer to how it felt. I suppose you'd have to experience it first-hand to know.

"It seems to be bearable." Allen said with a chuckle. We spent the next twenty minutes in silence. I decided I had spent enough time in the water, and I was starting to get tired.

"Don't look, I'm getting out." I said, waiting to make sure he wasn't before stepping out and wrapping myself in a long, fluffy white towel. "You're good." I said while walking away. As I was doing so I felt a sharp little pain go through my stomach. Karma was not on my side as I stumbled and slipped on the wet floor. I couldn't contain the little shout as I fell.

"Kanda!" I heard Allen shout just before I fell into the water.

-Break/Normal POV-

"Oh god... what is Lavi going to say if Kanda isn't okay..." Allen busied himself with his own worries as he paced outside of one of the medical wings patient rooms. He had gotten into clean clothes in that time and was dressed properly. He had also ran and gotten Kanda a dry outfit. "He'll have my head... and Lenalee will help him..." Allen was trying not to panic. He had contacted them with a message through radio already and was waiting for a reply.

"Allen, what's the emergency?" Oh thank god, it was Lenalee. This wouldn't be so bad.

"It's Kanda. He slipped in the baths and fell, I'm not sure what his condition is." Allen said quickly, still going through his slightly panicked mood. He could hear Lenalee gasp and then Lavi shout.

"What do you mean he fell?" the redhead shouted from the other line, obvious anger and worry in his voice.

"He slipped on the wet floor and fell into the water. I'm pretty sure he hit his head and passed out. I got Kanda out of the water immediately though... so he should be okay." Allen said in a more hushed tone, not wanting to cause a disturbance.

"Is he going to be okay, what about the baby?" Lavi sounded close to tears, so unlike himself. Allen wasn't sure how to reply, he didn't even know himself.

"I haven't been notified on anything. We'll have to wait and see... can you wait till I contact you again?" Allen asked, not wanting to be in this situation. Being the bearer of bad news was not his thing.

"I can wait. Just... just make sure he's safe. That's all I ask of you Allen." Lavi said solemnly, finally calm, but in a way that made Allen even more worried. Sucking it up and taking a deep breath, Allen became serious.

"I promise." Allen said before hooking the radio mic back up and going to take a seat outside of the room.

It wasn't long before Komui stepped out of the room. He had enough medical experience to figure things out. Allen knew for a fact another doctor and nurse were still with Kanda. Hopping up from his seat, Allen was ushered to sit back down.

"Kanda is fine, he just has a minor bump on his head. As for the child, perfectly fine. They are both as healthy as ever." Komui said with as smile. Allen breathed a huge sigh of relief. He didn't know much about pregnancy in the first place.

"It he awake?" Allen asked, wanting to check and see for himself.

"Yes, you may go and visit." Komui said with a smile before leaving Allen to do just that.

-Break-

Upon entering the room, Allen saw Kanda relaxing and laying back in bed. He looked so tired and pale, but Komui said he would be fine.

"Hey..." Allen said quietly, not wanting to startle Kanda.

"It's okay, I heard you come in." Kanda said softly, his hands placed over his stomach softly. It was almost as if he were cradling it, to try and get his baby to sense that it was all right,

"I contacted Lavi... I told him I would let him know about your condition when I found out." Allen said while walking over and taking a seat. Kanda looked at him with a saddened expression.

"Can I do it? I... I want to talk to him." Kanda said softly, removing his hands off his stomach and placing them at his sides. He looked miserable.

Allen felt part of him break a bit, making him regret not treating Kanda better in the past and always picking fights with him. He felt... guilty because of it.

"Sure, just give me a second." Allen said before getting up and going to retreave the radio-communicator.

-Kanda's POV-

Allen brought me the radio, finally. I needed to talk to Lavi. Sure it had only been about 24 hours since he left, but I needed him like I needed oxygen to breath. All right... corny I know, but still.

"Thanks." I spoke softly, still not in the cheerful mood. I was a bit emotion-less at the moment. Now came the hard part. "Lavi... you there?"

"Kanda! God, are you okay?" he shouted back, making me smile a bit. Idiot as usual.

"Che, of course I am. I'm not that weak you know." I said, trying to make myself sound a bit angry so he wouldn't find out how I really felt. Scared.

"Yu... I need to come back." Lavi said quickly, defiantly.

"No! Lavi, you have work to do, and it's only been one day." I argued back. There was no way he was going to not do his job because of my one stupid mistake.

"Are you sure? I don't want to have you go through this..." Lavi said, saddening at the end. I couldn't help but feel a few tears fall then. I let out a sniffle. "Yu...?" My name was asked as a question. "What's wrong?" Lavi asked.

"Nothing... except that I just realized I'm in Love with the most caring Idiot in the world." I laughed slightly, wiping some of the tears away. That got a laugh out of him.

"I love you too. I'll be home in about a month. Stay safe." Lavi said, and then made an unnecessary kissing noise. I couldn't help but laugh, unlike myself, at that.

"Baka Usagi! I'll see you then." I said before ending all conversation with him after that.

"This is going to be a long month..." Allen said whilst shaking his head.
