Chapter 15

The family was released from the hospital with Natashi getting a clean bill of health and said it was a miracle that she and the baby were fine. As the weeks went by there was no sign of the twins from the future and Kurama never told Natashi about what the two told him for now he was enjoying having Natashi so full of energy and health. Amazingly it was only near the forth month need she started to bloat and Kurama was amazed at how his wife's body stretched to accommodate the baby.

The four kids were a big help when Kurama wasn't around and during the day when they were gone some of Natashi's old school friends came over to help her. Kenny was adopted by Natashi's cousin Yamakaza since her family had wolf blood in them and they could easily teach him how to keep his anger under control. He still stayed at his once-foster family's home most of the time when he wanted to get away and his step-sister, who he was starting to develop a crush on.

As of recently Natashi had begun to spend letters to her brother in hope he would come around now that he was going to an uncle soon but no such luck all the letters were returned to her. Then one day Natashi received a letter not from her brother but from a neighbor across the street from where he lived. Informing her that Aden died days after he returned from his trip from Japan in a pile up saving a little girl from being crushed. He saved the little girl but the car the little girl was in tipped over and crushed him luckily the little girl was taken away before she could see it happen.

When she told Kurama he was just as shocked and divested as she was. After a few calls Kurama was able to claim Aden's body, had it incinerated, and brought the ashes back to Japan. By Takashi custom since Aden died to save another life his ashes were placed among one of the hall for honorable deaths even after what he did to them. Kurama did his best to keep her calm during this whole event so not to hurt her or the baby.

Once Aden was put to rest Kurama scheduled an ultra-sound to see his baby but also to see if the Hideaki and Ayaka were right about Natashi having twins. So now they sat in the doctors' office waiting for the doctor to come and do the ultra-sound.

"Alright let's get started," the doctor told them as he stepped in. He sat down beside Natashi and put gel on her bloated stomach (a/n: I've had an ultra-sound done because I thought I had breast cancer but luckily it wasn't it was just scar tissue or a sis. But it scared the shit out of me). He placed the ultra-sound handle on her stomach and began to move it around until he found the baby. "Wow, it's a big baby."

Both Natashi and Kurama looked at the baby on the ultra-sound machine and Kurama smiled both outside and on the inside to see that the future twins were wrong. They were only going to have one baby not twins. Looking at his wife he saw a smile of true joy on her face at seeing the baby in her surviving. He nuzzled her neck as the doctor continued to check to make sure the baby was doing alright. Abruptly the baby kicked at the ultra-sound handle through the womb not liking it.

Natashi giggled as the baby kept kicking and said, "He doesn't like that at all."

Kurama looked at his wife and asked, "He?"

Nodding she answered, "Yes, he. I can tell our baby's a boy."

The doctor removed the handle and said, "Okay, he's doing fine and it looks like you're in clear so far. Just don't over-do it and I shall see you in two weeks for your next check up."

"Alright see you then," Natashi smiled.

Once Natashi was put her close back on the couple got into the car and headed back to their home. They were greeted by their foster kids who were excited to feel their foster parents' baby kick. But the baby didn't want the attention of the kids and made no movements for the kids to feel. He only responded to his mother's and father's hand but also Kenny's hand when he came over, he would know if he tried to get him to kick for another kid and would not kick for them.

That evening the family sat down for the evening for their end of the week movie. Their littlest foster daughter, Kelsey was leaning against Natashi's large stomach listening for any movements inside it while Kurama had Natashi leaned against him on the couch. Natashi jerked her head towards Kelsey when she suddenly jumped but then pressed her ear back to her stomach. Kelsey's looked at her foster mother and grinned widely.

"What are you smiling about?" Natashi asked truly curious at her foster daughter's smile.

"I hear flutters," Kelsey grinned.

"Oh, is he finally kicking for you?"

"He's not but she is."

"She?"

Kurama looked over at Kelsey blankly as he slowly realized that in fact there were twins inside her.

"Yeah…she's a lot friendlier than her brother," Kelsey informed her as she leaned her face on Natashi stomach.

'They were right,' Kurama sighed.
