Hello everyone,

I still couldn't get my internet fixed and university starts next weak too. Hurray ;)

Thank you all for the reviews. I got to 100 again. Thanks a lot :)

Now to the Noahs; I prefer to think Allen only imagined someone standing there. Also because I originally don't have a chapter with a confrontation between the Noahs and Allen planned. But if I get enough wishes for it, I will maybe write one.

Disclaimer: The doctor is mine but the other characters aren't.

Even though I hope Kanda forgets the doctor appointment, no chance. And so I am sitting in Komui's car another two days later at half past ten, with Kanda driving and an excited Linali in the backseat. She begged until I gave in. Lavi tried too, but all it got him was a hit by Mugen, which Kanda has started to carry around again. My arms are crossed, but all pouting didn't work when Kanda literally dragged me out of the house.

Arriving at the doctor's office, the raven parks the car, while Linali helps me out of it. She is nearly bouncing with excitement, but when I mentioned that she could simply have her own child she just looked at me with bewilderment, saying that firstly, she is still too young for that and secondly, she would like for Lavi to live a bit longer. You can't say much against the second argument, but hey, she is two years older than me, if I am allowed to mention that. We were only in the same class back then, because I went to school one year early and she was one year behind because of her and her brother moving to Japan at the wrong time of the year. But I refrained from reminding her of that.

Kanda leads us inside, while Linali drags me behind. No getting away with these two. The raven stops at the entrance desk.

"My friend has an appointment. His name is Allen Walker."

The receptionist looks up and smiles at the raven, "Yes, please sit in the waiting room. Doctor Hakeshi should be there in about five minutes."

Linali grins happily and starts to pull me to the waiting area but I can't help but scowl at the receptionist's tries to keep on talking with Kanda. She is flirting with him. Get away from him! He is not yours, bitch! I am getting angry way faster than I normally would. I guess this time it is really the hormones. So I rip my arm free from Linali's grip, leaving her staring at me surprised.

"What are you doing?" I growl at Kanda, "Come on, I am waiting for you."

"Is this your boyfriend?" the girl behind the desk asks innocently.

Before Kanda can open his mouth I snap, "None of your business. So shut up."

That earns me a shocked gasp from the receptionist and strange looks from my friends, but I don't care, only grab Kanda's arm and drag him towards Linali.

"What the hell was that, moyashi?" the raven growls.

"She was flirting with you!" I say accusingly.

"Yes, and?" he answers back irritated, "It's not like I am in a relationship."

"But… What is with me? And…" My anger has (very) quickly diffused and leaves me in tears.

"Moyashi?" Kanda asks surprised, "Forget it. I am not even interested in her," he adds hurriedly, "I don't like girls all that much to begin with."

It makes me feel better but I can't contain a last sniffle. He rolls his eyes and pulls me in his arms.

"For god's sake, moyashi. Pull yourself together."

After I have calmed back down I follow Linali into the waiting room and reluctantly sit down with the two at my sides. Apart from us there are five more person in the spacious area. On the other side is another mamorunin with what I guess is his partner. The carrier has a lean statue, black hair nearly as long as Kanda in a complicated braid, bright green eyes, pale skin and from the size of his bulge I would say he is at nearly six months. His bulkier, tan partner with shoulder-length golden-blond strands and sparkling blue eyes has an arm around him while one of the raven's hands rests on his abdomen. When he catches my eyes he smiles conspiratorially. The other couple is a man and a woman who looks about ready to give birth. With fright I realise that I will be about as big as that in less than two months. The about four years old child in the playing area in the corner of the room is theirs I guess, judging from her dark brown eyes which only fit the woman and no one else in this room.

I see the raven on the other side whisper something to his lover who looks over to us and then turns back surprised to the grinning green eyed man. Then the blonde stands up and walks out of the room to the drink vender outside. Again the raven smiles at me, his eyes glinting with mischief, playing with the ends of his long plait. Then his eyes motion to Kanda. I cock my head to the side, which only causes him to smirk broader. Then his lover returns with a juice for the smaller man. He sends me another grin and then leans up to reward his partner with a deep kiss. I blush and try to look anywhere but Kanda. Had I, then I would have noticed that he stares the couple nearly as much as I do.

Luckily right then someone stepping in saves me further embarrassment.

"Allen Walker," says a soft voice.

I groan. It is time. I have to face a doctor again. As reluctant as I am I have problems gathering the needed strength to get myself from the chair. I am really dreading how that will be at the end of my pregnancy. I won't even be able to move alone at all anymore. Thankfully (or maybe not) Kanda holds out his hands again and pulls me up. I decidedly ignore a small snicker which I am sure came from the green eyed man. Those eyes, as green as Lavi's, follow us as we leave the room.

We follow the doctor, a gentle looking man in his thirties with black hair and eyes, in one of the rooms where I am instructed to sit on the examination bed inside, while Linali sits on the only free chair and Kanda leans against the wall. After the affirmation that I want both of them here with me, he starts with asking me some questions.

"How old are you, Mr. Walker?"

"17," I squirm a little at the admission and dart a helpless glance to Kanda, but he has closed his eyes.

"Hm," the doctor only hums, "If it is not too personal, is this man," he motions to the raven, "the father?"

"No, he is not," I swallow hard, this time my eyes connect with Kanda's, "But he is the one taking care of me until the child is born."

Seeing my frightened look, the doctor motions Kanda over and I take his hand. Immediately I calm down a little. Linali only sends me a sad look. The man clears his throat and continues.

"How far along are you now?"

"About seven months and a bit, if I counted correctly."

"Have there been any complications so far?"

As I don't really know how to answer I stay quiet until Kanda speaks up, "He didn't eat enough in the first months and there was an incident at around five months, but the doctor in England said no damage was done."

"So this is more of a routine check-up?"

"Yes, basically," I say hurriedly before Kanda can answer.

"Okay, then please lay down and pull your shirt up," the doctor says softly and pulls the same machine over River did back then. An ultrasound.

I do as told, exposing my bulging stomach. I wince again at the cold gel that is smeared on it, but Kanda's hand in mine keeps me from moving. Like River, Dr. Hakeshi moves the strange stick around for some time, searching, until he stops.

"There it is. Yes, I think everything is fine here. No problems as far as I can see, regarding how far along you are."

Linali nearly squeals when the small figure becomes visible on the screen and she looks at it awe-filled. Maybe an own child would actually do her good, then she would see that this is not only fun. Not at all. On the other hand, Komui would most likely go on a killing spree. Perhaps not so good. My hand squeezes Kanda's again, like the lifeline it has become for me in the past days. Softly I turn my head to him and whisper.

"It has grown so much, Kanda. This is incredible."

"That was two months ago," he raises an eyebrow, "Of course it has grown."

"Do you want to know the gender?" the doctor suddenly asks.

"You can tell that?" I ask surprised, which is rewarded with a small laugh from the man.

"Yes, starting from about the sixth month, you can tell the baby's gender during an ultrasound. So do you?"

I look at Kanda, but he only shrugs, though with a purposely blank expression, "Why do you look at me? It is your baby not mine."

"Yes, I would like to know." So I answer, happily ignoring that I decided to give the child away as soon as it is born and should definitively not become too attached.

"Let me see," the doctor smiles and moves the stick again, "It is a boy."

I smile brightly and the hormones cause tears to shoot in my eyes. The man puts the stick away again and cleans it. Then he hands me a paper towel to clean my swollen abdomen. I let go of Kanda, who returns to his spot at the wall and I wipe the gel off my skin. The doctor then motions me to sit up and I do so, one hand on my bulge, and pull my shirt down. Wanting to leave this room as fast as possible I look at the man expectantly.

"Have you thought about the birth?" he asks to my surprise.

"Uh, not really," I steady myself after nearly falling off the table in shock and answer unsurely, "I will do it naturally, I guess?"

"Good, that means…"

But he is interrupted by an interested Linali, "Sorry, not to be inappropriate, but if you don't mind me asking. How does that work? I mean, Allen is a boy and has no way for the baby to leave the natural way, right?"

I blush furiously at that. Why didn't I think of that? That should have been one of my main concerns, shouldn't it? But I did never give it much thought. Kanda though only rolls his eyes and I get the growing suspicion that he actually read up on mamorunin, more than Linali and I did anyway.

"It is fine," the man smiles good-naturally, "The male body adopts. That means about some time before the delivery, his body will form a birth canal. No one knows how this works precisely."

I breathe in relief. Though I bet it will be a very weird feeling to have another exit in that area. That earns another smile from the doctor.

"Can we go then?" I ask hopefully.

"If there are no more questions, I guess you can," he answers and after none of us says anything he nods, "Then goodbye, Mr. Walker. And take good care of yourself in the last months."

"I will," I nod and then grab Kanda's arm, hurrying out of the office.

Outside I see a female nurse standing in the doorway of the waiting room asking for a Mr. Rafenoko. When I pass it, green eyes sparkle mischievously at me again. I nearly stumble when I recognize the patient as the raven from earlier. He grins at me then follows his blond lover into one of the small offices. I stare at his green-clad back for a minute, then shake my head and hurry to catch up with Kanda.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.

Allen is acting like a jealous boyfriend ^^

Also if someone figures out which (fan)pairing I used for that second mamorunin couple, you get an additional chapter. I was watching AMVs for that pairing when I wrote this chapter that's why the characters look like that.

See you next time and please review.
