They were almost half way through, month 4. After many ice baths and nights spent awake, Naomi had recovered with no permanent damage. Obviously, besides wondering why Hiei had held her hand.

Naomi was in the yard, planting bare root roses (If this is wrong sorry I Google searched plants able to be planted in Feb) while Hiei trained again. She had looked up from gardening to watch him train many times before, but this time was different. She found herself looking at him in a whole new eye. It was no doubt the hormones swimming through her veins, but still. Was it weird for her to be looking at her protector like a piece of meat? Something inside her still yearned to know why Hiei had broken down and held her hand when before, everything that happened was all her fault. Why the sudden pity? Why the diff-

"NAOMI!", Hiei shouted interrupting her train of thought. "Lets go come on, I called you four times."

Hiei locked them inside as always routine and she took her spot on the couch reading her baby name book. "Is Benjamin a bad name?", she asked

"I don't like it", Hiei shrugged.

She sighed closing her book as the silence grew "When are we going to do something exciting? We never do anything. We just sit here all day long."

"What would you like to do?", Hiei cocked back as if this was the only thing to do.

"Lets go out for dinner for once, see a movie, bowling, skating, something. I heard so much about human world, and I've seen so little", Naomi pestered.

"Maybe if you shut the hell up we'll order out for dinner, maybe I'll borrow Kuramas television for a movie, but I will not go out with this stupid human population.", Hiei sighed

"Your scary", she mumbled quietly, hands around her little stomach.

"What? Why?", he said as he located the phone book to order out.

"Every time you talk, I can feel it move. Like it knows you don't like it", Naomi said looking up to him.

"What are you talking about?", he said thumbing through pages.

"The baby. It moves every time you speak. As if its afraid of you.", she blinked slowly as her eyes met his.

"That's preposterous, and disgusting", he said putting the phone to his ear.

"No its not! How is another life disgusting!" she demanded.

"It just is, moving around in there and just questionable", he said as he placed his order as she walked over peeling his hand from the phone book and pressed it against her slightly enlarged stomach "How is that disgusting?" she asked as she placed her palm on top of his and laced their fingers gently together. Hieis words slowed to a stop at "General Tsos,...", as he felt the slow pushing outwards of his own hand against her stomach. He could almost feel the toes of the child's foot. He was at a loss for words, never having experienced such a thing before.

"Hiei, the phone", she spoke slowly and quietly to avoid confusing the Chinese man. "Uh,..right", he said as he stated that was all and hung up the phone.

"Doesn't that hurt you?", he asked curiously, not making any effort to move his hand, even despite the fact she was holding it.

"Its uncomfortable sometimes, but it doesn't quite hurt.", she whispered.

It was then that Hiei realized maybe she wasn't so selfish after all, here she was withering away to nothing for the life of a child that could grow up to be nothing but evil, maybe even kill her. Despite all this, she trudged on. That, Hiei decided, was willpower as he gently took back his hand.

They exchanged an awkwardly long deep glance as Hiei tried to put words to what he wanted to tell her. "Your brave, to do this" he said as he looked her over, admiring her. She had such violent bouts of vomiting, she still didn't look very pregnant, although the child was strong.

"Hiei? Does what happens in the movies ever come true here", she asked taking a seat beside him on the couch.

That was random he thought to himself "Sometimes, why?"

"Kurama let me watch a movie, The notepad or something. The couple was so happy, and they fell in love and stayed in love forever. Is it possible to do that here?"

"Sometimes" he answered again.

"I just kinda wish, my baby had a father. Like the guy from The notepad", she suggested.

"I think its The Notebook Naomi", he corrected propping his hand on his palm.

Naomi inched closer to his face, until they were just barely apart "Hiei,...will you pretend to be its father. Just until I find one? Please?", she begged. Hiei could see the sincerity in her eyes as he gazed deeply into them. You could almost see right through her needy puppy-dog face.

"Yeah, I guess. But I don't do diapers", he stated nonchalantly as he tucked a loose strand behind her ear.

Her jaw nearly dropped, she didn't even have to beg. "Thank you so much!", she exclaimed as she closed the gap between them with a kiss. Hiei had to stop himself from blushing. He was kissing a pregnant woman, well she was kissing him. Isn't that wrong on some level? He asked himself as he felt so inclined, as to kiss her back. Naomi was so shocked where this went she didn't know what to do, except wrap her arms around his neck, opening her mouth a little more, accepting him. Hiei gently placed his hand on the back of her head pulling her in for more, he hadn't kissed a woman in years, not that he had been kissing guys or anything.

Their tongues explored each others mouths as Naomi whimpered slightly, she was dying for some sort of sexual relief, and this was only exasperating it. They continued to kiss as the doorbell rang off the button in the background. Neither of them cared, they were too into this to think about food. They slowly parted ways as that awkward glance came up again.

"What was that?", Naomi asked, cheeks covered in a rosy complexion, a thank you was the kiss' sole intention.

"You tell me.", he questioned, after all she had kissed him.
