Hello avid readers... I have another chapter for you all...

This is based on my own analysis of Kira's family, I think that 900 years old is pushing it a bit so... I also remembered the brilliant, harrowing scene from Crystal Reed when Allison's mother died and I was inspired by that to write this.

This chapter deals with the loss of a parent and for me was a deeply personal challenge to write so I would appreciate it if It didn't get any reviews that 'flame' the scenes between Kira and her mother-again a deeply personal thing for me-I hope you all understand why I ask this.

I am not a medical expert so I hope that I got the symptoms of Kira's pregnancy right and if not then I am sorry

I am not an expert in Japanese Mythology so none of the kitsune stuff is based on reality and also Christina is the name of Sean's mother who was killed in Season 4 for anyone who's asking. Ken and Noshiko are the names of Kira's father and mother.

And please let me know if you have any questions-I will always find the time to answer

And there is only TWO chapters of this story left to go! A big thank you to all that reviewed, read, favoured and followed

Disclaimer-I own nothing just my babies who are so far- Blake, Spencer, Ryder, Logan, Lucas, Avery, Jade, David, Savanna, Madeleine, Arthur, Andrew, Emilee, Samuel, Ross and now Lia. And only two more Teen Wolf babies to go.

And as I always ask please read and review and please let me know about this chapter as it is very important to me as a writer (as I have detailed above)

And I hope you all had a very happy Halloween !

Chapter 16-Lia Christina

Kira's second pregnancy sees her self-esteem hit all low and a personal tragedy for her and Sean.

Much like Kira's first pregnancy her second was an accident. She and Sean were engaged and David a hefty age of three.

Incidentally it was the wedding of Jackson and Lydia that she realised something was wrong.

There was little few marriages left. Erica and Boyd had been married in the aftermath of Sam's birth in a quiet ceremony with only the pack. Aidan and Allison had confirmed no wedding for a while due to their desire to take their relationship slow and Isaac and Scott had one in the works, and it was at Jackson and Lydia's simple wedding that Kira realised that something was wrong.

The wedding is beautiful Kira can't deny that. It's done at the Hale house in the garden the snow thick and heavy in January. Lydia Is dressed in a white dress that tightens at her waist and flows to the ground her bodice elaborately embroidered, her arms and back covered in lace and delicate buttons, Derek the proud Alpha that he is walks her down the 'isle' from the living room to the back garden which has been shovelled with snow clean with chairs in the snow for the Pack. Jackson and Arthur are stood at the front and the whole Pack spread out. Even Ross is stood in unwashed black jeans and a black suit jacket over a plain white V-neck.

It's a wonderful wedding and when it's over Jackson swings up Arthur, hugs Lydia and much to his surprise drags Ross by the sleeve to hug him too.

Kira grips Sean's hand and smiles when he whispers in her ear "That will be us soon" because she knows that it is true.

It was then that she felt sick. Dinner was a simple lasagne, garlic bread and ceaser salad, and it was only after a mouthful that Kira felt sick.

Once she had thrown up her stomach contents, she leaned against the back of the bathtub feeling hot and weak and tired. Standing on shaky legs she scrabbled with the zip on her dark turquoise dress until she was in her strapless underwear and dark heals. She curled up into a ball and whimpered feeling herself shake against the cold.

There was a knock on the door. "Kira" came the voice of her fiancé and Kira could just imagine the worry on his face, the way he would be biting his lip as he leaned against the wall. "Yeah" she whispered coughing more vomit out before she could stop herself.

There was a quick movement as Sean opened the door. He looked down at his fiancé who was half naked and shivering for a brief second before he dragged her up. Kira half fell into his arms her legs weak and Sean pulled her into his lap and stroked her hair softly wrapping his jacket around her.

"What's wrong?" he whispered but Kira couldn't listen, couldn't think and all she could remember was Sean shaking her and yelling loudly, a hand on her mouth and neck and then it all went to blackness.

When she woke it was to an irritating beeping. Kira didn't like the beeping it reminded her to much of the mornings where she would have to get dressed in the dark in New York. But there was something grabbing her hand, cool lips pressed to them and there was the smell of coconut and sea salt and Sean…

Kira bit her lip gripping with her all her remaining strength Sean's hand. "Kira?" came the questioning voice of her fiancé his voice groggy and panicked. "Hey" she muttered her eyes fluttering weakly and Sean grinned his eyes overbright. "Hey babe" he crooned "What happened?" struggling against Sean's gentle hands "Where's David?"

Sean shushed her gently nosing against her temple. "He's fine babe" he whispered "I left him with Scott and Isaac so he and Maddie are probably playing in the snow at the house" Kira nodded once her eyes darting all around the rooms.

"What happened?" she asked again, and Sean bit his lip. "Well you fainted" he said his eyes bright "Melissa said you have something called hyperemesis gravidarum, you passed out after your heavily throwing up" he caught Kira's eye and smiled reassuringly "Your pregnant babe" he said finally.

Kira's eyes widened. Sean nodded and even though her eyelids were heavy and before she fell asleep Kira managed a small smile moving her hand and Sean's linked together to her flat stomach smiling in her sleep at the thought of another baby.

The next four months were difficult to say the least. Kira's sickness saw her confined to bed and Sean took huge days of absence from his job at the school where he was the assistant to the head-teacher to stay at home with her.

And God was Kira bored. Sean tried to keep her spirts up by spending all day with Kira, clearing out the room next to them and setting up the crib that Kira had used for David and he tried to talk to her about the baby, but God was it difficult.

Her mother came round after month four. With high blood pressure and a tiring pregnancy Kira was confined to the house.

It was on those days that she began to realize that something was wrong with her mother. It was seen as tiredness. A general lack of interest and sometimes she seemed to Kira older than she looked.

It was one day when they were sat with David curled up in Kira's lap drawing a picture. Kira looked up and saw her mother struggling with passing David crayons. Kira smiled "Can you not see anymore?" she asked intending it to be a joke but the smile fell from her face when her mother's smile fell from her face.

"David" she said turning to her grandson "Why don't you go and pin this up on the fridge so Daddy and the pack can see it" once he had scampered off she turned to her daughter. "I am nearly 910 years old Kira" she said seriously "I'm past my supernatural sell by date" she smiled softly "I don't think that I will see next Christmas"

Kira started ignoring her baby which kicked violently at being disturbed "Christmas" she whimpered her eyes filling with tears and Noshiko smiled again linking her hand with Kira "Hush my little baby" she said moving from her chair to sit on the bed "Kira be calm" she ordered gently leaning her daughters head onto her shoulder "Think of the baby" she said softly.

Kira whimpered again burying her head into her mother's shoulder inhaling that uniquely comforting scent that was her mom. "Dad" she said eventually-once she had cried her fill and Noshiko smiled "He knows" she said eventually "He's always known, and he's ready" she grimaced slightly "As ready as he thinks he can be at any rate." She pressed a kiss into Kira's hair "Now stay calm" she warned "David" she said moving her hand to Kira's belly "Baby" she said again.

And then David came in talking nineteen to the dozen and Kira forced a smile to her face her hands still linked with her mother her expression never faltering.

"Lia" her mother said one day when she had been quiet for so long that Kira started thinking that she had fallen asleep "What?" she said flatly and Noshiko smiled again "Lia" was all she said.

It was in those next two months that her mother got noticeably worse. Her fox form was barely visible anymore and she took to spending days in her bed staring at the spring days with the window opened. One day Sean carrying Kira who couldn't overexert herself to much, saw her mother write something then hide it away in a big wooden box. And Kira felt her throat turn dry.

It was then that she told Sean she needed to move in. At nearly two weeks to the due date she could tell he wasn't thrilled but he indulged her need to be near her mom. There was a moment where they just curled onto the bed alone and tried to forget that she was losing a mother and Sean had lost his.

They were both alone with each other wrapped in their own grief.

It was that night that the pains started.

At first Kira ignored them so wrapped up she was in her own misery. But then they got sharper and as she cried out she realised that there was a wetness under the sheets of her old room.

Kira winced in a vain attempt to stay quiet but it was enough to wake Sean up his blonde hair in array. "Kir?" he asked before his eyes-sharpened by the wendigo vision trailed down. "Shit" he whispered nearly falling out of bed. "I'll ring Scott and tell him to get Melissa, Ken can watch David" but he was cut off when Kira shook her head.

"It's gonna be like the last time" she said bitterly her head thrown back in pain and Sean paled a good three shades. "Oh shit" he whispered. He pressed a kiss to the corner of Kira's knee and muttered something about "Going to find Ken" before disappearing.

He was gone all of five minutes when he returned and he staggered back to see what Kira could only imagine as the head of their baby as she felt it slipping out of her.

Wasn't it every woman's dream to have a labour like this? Well it sure as hell wasn't easy Kira thought bitterly-nine months of bed rest followed by her second quick labour was not Kira's version of ideal in fact right now she would be pretty content If she was in pain right now. This strange feeling of detachment didn't help her when it came too what she was thinking, the pain should distract her from all the other problems that were swimming in her head.

The tears were not from the pain of her labour.

It took little more than an hour and a half. Kira's little girl, her and Sean's little girl, David's sister came out quietly and quickly her dark eyes wide as if being woken from a sleep.

Sean grinned kissing Kira softly her curls still mussed and her eyes wide in shock and emotion. There was a pause before she staggered upwards the baby crying slightly. Wrapping her in Sean's discarded hoody. "I need to see my mom" she whispered ignoring her dad's look of concern.

Noshiko had barely moved from her bed despite the fact that she had heard her daughter give birth. When Kira leaning heavily on Sean crept into the room blood staining the bottom of her pyjama shorts she turned her head to smile.

"My baby" she crooned her hand coming to stroke Kira's hair. Kira smiled despite her trembling lip and tearful eyes. Slowly she placed the baby-her baby into her mother's arms.

Noshiko looked at the baby for a long second her hand slowly coming to rest on its head. Her gaze flickered to her daughter and husband and then flickered shut her smile dying on her face.

And just like that Kira knew her brilliant, enduring, strong, mischievous mother was dead.

It didn't stop. The pain didn't come all at once it came in waves sometimes stopping, sometimes hitting like a tidal wave.

Sean had been Kira's rock. He didn't push or judge just left her alone when she needed to be left and held her when she needed to be held.

It was some days after-weeks maybe-time seemed to blur into one infinite stretch of nothing, that Kira woke up feeling different. It was early sunrise the sky ablaze with a fire that looked like it would never die. Walking into the small adjoining nursery Kira bent down to pick up her small baby girl who was awake her eyes the exact same shade as her mother and grandmother.

"Hey Lia" she said picking up the baby, she paused slightly so they were face to face. "One day I'm gonna tell you about your grandma and what an amazing woman she was"

Pausing Kira smiled for the first time in weeks the smile feeling foreign on her face. "I love you Lia" she whispered looking past her through the door that housed David and the room which housed her and Sean. "I love your whole family"

There was a pause and Kira rocked Lia in her arms for a second longer before putting her back down.

Perhaps it was her imagination but as she left the room Kira could have sworn she saw her daughter's eyes flash with something suspiciously like fire.

But then again…

I will hopefully update soon-Hope you all enjoy

Next Chapter-Scott and Isaac on a whim go to the Lupus Orphanage where they meet a very special seven year old.
