Naomi lay on the bed, Hiei's arm was wrapped around her securely and she was sleeping peacefully until a few minutes prior, a strange sensation had awoken her. A painful string of sensations chased up her spine so quickly it made her shiver. She attributed it to the back pains she had been having lately and lay in bed quietly under his arm, but she was wide awake and anxious. "Hiei?" she said as she shook his shoulder lightly.

Hiei's eyes burst open and glanced around the room before once making contact with her own. He picked up the clock on the nightstand, 2:56. "Why the hell are you awake, much less waking me up?"

"I can't sleep,..." she trailed off and buried her head in between his chest and shoulders.

"What would you like me to do about it?" he said as he removed his hand from her and rubbed his eyes.

"Lull me to sleep" she whispered as she looked into his eyes, the only illuminated thing in the room.

Hiei sat up and rubbed his eyes for the second time and sighed. His bare abs were revealed when he sat up and the blanket fell from them. She made a small smile at this, he was so cute. Usually he sat up and talked to her until she finally did fall asleep, he lay back down again "Tell me about the names you picked again?" he asked in an attempt to get her to tire herself out.

"Sarah Lynn, or Aiden Alexa-..." she cut herself off, there it was again. The tingle of needle stickings up her delicate frame, this time it came accompanyed by a dull pain deep within her.

Hiei opened his left eye "Change your mind again?"

"No uhm,..I need to go to the bathroom" she muttered as she shuffled to the edge of the bed and walked to the bathroom. She shut the door and sat down on the toilet lid, she didn't really have to go. She just buried her head between her legs deep in thought. After she was sure they were Braxton Hicks, something Kurama warned her so much about she stood up and gazed in the mirror. She brushed a few stray bangs from her face and stood to leave, but relentlessly the pain showed up again. "Damnit these suck" she muttered to herself and leaned on the doorway. She pushed her hands against it as if she were trying to push it from its spot on the frame. She let loose a long whistled breath.

Hiei flitted beside her and leaned on the closet of the bathroom "Braxtons?" he asked and crossed his arms.

"Yeah,...how'd you get in?" she asked in desbelief still struggling through a pain.

"Window" he answered quickly and looked to her "Have you been timing them to be sure?" he asked.

"Uh no,...I just thought I'd,..I'd uhm,.." she struggled to find an excuse for her forgetfullness and when none came she sighed and opened her mouth to protest when she felt a steady stream of liquid run down her leg and both of their eyes looked down to meet it.

"Uh..." she said as her eyes grew wide in panic "Okay so maybe not Braxtons" she exclaimed.

"Gross" Hiei said as he shook his head "I'll call Kurama"
