2.

~Another month later~

"Crona? Are you still asleep?" Kid asked, walking into our room.

I shifted slightly to stare up at him sleepily. "Mhm…"

He smiled and got down on his knees next to the bed, placing his arms it and staring intently at me. "Feeling any better?"

"I'm fine… just sleepy…" I closed my eyes for a second, giving in to my heavy eyelids.

I felt Kid lean over and kiss my forehead.

I opened my eyes to look at him.

"Maka and Soul invited us to lunch. Do you feel well enough to go?"

I thought a second. I don't really feel bad… just really tired… but it'd be rude if I said no.

I nodded my head and slowly sat up. Kid rose from his kneeling position and stood.

I rubbed my eyes and stretched slightly. I sat for a second, slightly slumped over.

Kid sat next to me on the bed and hugged me tightly.

"K-Kid…? What are you doing?" I asked as I felt my face flush.

He hugged me tighter and sighed. "You're too cute in the morning. I can't help myself." He proceeded to make a trail of kisses up my neck.

I felt a shiver go up my spine and pushed Kid away with a pillow. "K-Kid! N-not now!"

I saw a mischievous smile appear on his face as he moved the pillow and pulled me towards him. He kissed right below my ear and made his way up to my temple. "K-Kid stop! Y-you're e-embarrassing me!"

"Just one more and I'll be alright!" He said as he placed his lips on mine. I didn't expect him to be so tender with the kiss because of his sudden rambunctious behavior. But he was so gentle…

After a moment of shock, I kissed him back, caressing his face gently in my hands. How long has it been since we've kissed like this? I felt myself getting lost in the tenderness of the kiss…

Kid pulled away slowly and smiled. "Crona?"

I looked up at him. "Hmm?"

He gave me a quick peck on the cheek. "I love you so much."

I smiled and gave him a quick hug. "Love you too…"

And with a flustered face and a warm feeling in my heart, I went to the bathroom to get ready.

Now the only problem is finding something that will fit…

I peeked my head out of the bathroom door. "K-Kid?"

"Yes?"

"Could I borrow one of your t-shirts to wear again? Maka's aren't fitting anymore…"

"Of course. But tomorrow lets go buy you some new clothes, ok? That way you won't have to wear boys' clothes." Kid smiled and got me a t-shirt. He came to the door and handed me the shirt.

"T-thanks." I smiled and closed the door. I lifted the shirt to put it on and soon realized that wasn't going to work. It's too small too! Now what?

I stuck my head out of the door again. "U-uh Kid…"

"Yes?"

"Um… it's too small… and uh…" I trailed off, embarrassed to finish.

"What?" He asked, walking to the bathroom door.

"I uh… I'm stuck in it…"

Kid chuckled slightly and went to open the door all the way. "Let me help you."

"N-no! I… I can do it!" I reached to close the door but Kid beat me to it. He opened the door and took a second to take me in. There I was, standing in my panties and t shirt with my stomach hanging out.

"Goodness, Crona." Kid said and smiled. "Just let me help you. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He walked over and pulled the t-shirt up over my arms, now leaving me in just my bra and panties.

"K-Kid… please d-don't look…" I said, trying to cover myself. I… I don't think Kid's seen me like this since my belly started showing…

Kid walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me. "Crona… please stop. I really can't take it…"

"Huh?"

"You're being way too cute lately… I can't stand it…" He said and kissed my cheek gently.

"K-Kid…" I started to lean in for a kiss, but I was interrupted by a knock at our front door.

We both jumped away from each other. After a second, Kid went to answer it.

I heard Soul and Maka come in.

"Sorry if we're a little early." Maka said.

"Oh it's no problem; Crona and I are just having a little trouble."

"Trouble? Can I help somehow?" Maka sounded concerned.

"Um… I'm not sure, Crona's in the bathroom. Maybe you can?"

I heard Maka walk closer to the door and twist the handle. She looked a little surprised when she first saw me.

"Um… Maka? N-nothing fits…" I said, trying not to think about the moment Kid and I just had.

"Oh my god, Crona! You look so adorable right now!" Maka squealed.

I blushed, surprised by her observation, and grabbed a towel from behind me to cover myself with.

"Sorry, sorry! But really with your little pregnant belly you look so cute!"

"M-Maka!" I blushed harder.

"Ok, ok! I'm sorry. Um… I might have something that fits at our place? Do you have something that you could put on to wear over there? We're really not in a rush for lunch. We came early anyway, just in case something like this happened."

"Th-thank you."

Maka smiled and helped me put my pajamas back on. We walked out into the living room to see Kid and Soul chatting near the front door.

"Hey, Soul? Crona and I are going to run home for a minute to try and find her something to wear, ok?"

Soul nodded and then turned to me. "Good morning Crona, how are you?"

"I-I'm good. Just a little tired." I said, smiling slightly.

Soul smiled back, "Good to hear you're feeling better."

"Thank you." I waved to Kid and Soul and followed Maka out the door.

The drive to Maka's house didn't take too long, maybe only five minutes. We probably could have walked if I wasn't wearing pajamas and my feet weren't swollen to twice their normal size.

Once we got inside the house, we headed up to Maka's bedroom on the second floor. I should really start exercising more because just going up her stairs tired me out.

We got to Maka and Soul's room and she told me to have a seat on the bed while she went to look through her closet.

She eventually came back with multiple shirts for me to try. The first two wouldn't even go over my breasts, and after the fifth one I gave up. I covered my eyes and laid back on her bed in frustration.

I feel so disgusting… so… fat…

Maka sat next to me, "Crona, its ok. We'll find something."

"No we won't." I said in an almost whiny voice.

"Crona…"

I sat up. "Please Maka… just… just give me a minute…" I leaned over and put my face in my hands. I… I'm causing so much trouble… I can't fit into anything. I bet Kid thought I looked disgusting when he saw me in my underwear… he was probably just trying to make me feel better…

I felt myself start to choke up and got madder. These hormones are killing me! I felt my tears escape and I started to sob.

"Crona?" Maka whispered gently.

"D-don't look Maka!" I sobbed.

Maka came in front of me and hugged me. "Crona, stop crying. There's nothing to be sad about. It's ok, it's ok. We'll find you something. It's only natural that your body is growing."

I wiped at my tears furiously. "That's easy for you to say! Soul doesn't think that you're fat and disgusting!"

Maka was taken aback. "C-Crona… is that what you think? You think that Kid thinks you're fat and disgusting?"

I looked away slightly. "How… how could he not?"

Maka looked really upset. "Crona! How could you possibly think that?! Have you looked at yourself lately?! You are so beautiful and adorable, especially with your baby belly! Have you even noticed the way Kid looks at you?! He loves you! He thinks that you are the most beautiful thing he's ever seen! How can you not see that?!"

I was surprised. There's no way that he feels that way… is there? Maybe… maybe Maka's right… Yeah… she probably is…

"I-I'm sorry Maka… ever since I got pregnant I've been so on edge about everything. I'm sorry." I tried to wipe all my tears away.

She hugged me again and stroked my hair gently. "It's ok. I know your emotions are probably crazy right now but… just don't ever think things like that again, ok?"

I nodded slightly.

"Ok, so now let's find you something to wear!"

After a little while of searching, we found an old t-shirt that fit. After that big ordeal, I was happy to have something to wear; I didn't even care what it looked like. We then drove back to my place to meet Soul and Kid. Soul sat in the front with Maka and I sat in the back with Kid. After a few minutes of being in the car, Kid turned to me and whispered, "Have you been crying?"

How could he tell? That was almost twenty minutes ago…

"N-no…" I whispered back.

Kid gave me his signature I-know-you're-lying-so-just-admit-it look.

I looked away from him slightly. "J-just a little… but it was nothing…"

There was a long pause. I glanced back at Kid. He looked really upset...

"Crona. If… if you ever need to talk to me… you know you can, right? No matter what it is?"

I nodded slightly. "Really Kid… it was nothing. You know I've been a mess lately…"

He didn't look satisfied but didn't say anymore.

After a long silence, Maka let us know that we were here.

We all got out and entered the restaurant. It was a little local restaurant that we all enjoyed going to. Though it was small, the food was amazing.

The waiter seated us at a table in the back corner. I scooted into the booth with Kid. Maka and Soul sat across from us.

I wasn't extremely hungry, but I wasn't exactly full either. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, I ordered the Tuscan chicken, Maka ordered a salad, and Kid and Soul ordered a hamburger.

Maka chatted about some of the things going on and Soul joined in a couple of times. But every time I glanced at Kid, he still seemed to be upset.

While Maka was talking about how horrible her new boss was, I scooted a little closer to Kid and laid my hand on his knee. He was a little surprised but seemed to relax some. After a while, he placed his own hand over mine.

"… Isn't that terrible?!" Maka asked in an outraged tone.

"Huh? O-oh yeah. That's awful!" I said, not really knowing what she was talking about.

"I know!" Maka huffed, starting on something else to rant about.

Kid leaned down to my ear and whispered, "Hey, let's play a game."

"W-what?" I whispered back.

He didn't reply, he just moved his hand from mine and placed it on my belly. He then proceeded to move down further… slipping his hand into my pants. I tried not to scream or squeal as he progressively moved down further.

"St-stop it Kid!" I hissed quietly. "We're in public!" I felt my face flushing a bright red. "Stop, stop, stop!"

He moved further down… and I felt my breath catch in my throat. "I'm not joking Kid!" I whispered furiously, although secretly, I didn't want him to stop. He chuckled slightly and removed his hand. I breathed a sigh of relief and dissatisfaction. I tried to calm my heart beat down and slow my breathing. That… that was close…

After a while, our food arrived. But after Kid's little 'game', I had lost my appetite. So I mostly just picked at my food.

"Do you not like it, Crona?" Maka asked, noticing that I had barely touched my food.

"No, it's good; I just kind of lost my appetite." I gave Kid a glare and he chuckled.

After everyone was done, we paid and left. While we were driving home, I turned to Kid and whispered, "Why would you do that?"

Kid smiled slightly, "Just… because."

"Don't do that again! We were in public, Kid!" I hissed disapprovingly at him.

"I know, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Well, at least not in public." He chuckled again. I sighed and leaned back in my seat, closing my eyes to rest. After a while, we arrived home. We said goodbye to Soul and Maka and went inside.

Once we were inside, I took off my shoes and sat down on the couch. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes again. I am so… tired…

I felt Kid sit next to me. "Crona… I'm sorry about earlier… I was just trying to lighten up the mood a little."

"It's fine." I mumbled.

"Crona. Really, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would embarrass you that much."

"It's fine, Kid."

A long silence dragged out.

"I don't want you to be mad at me, Crona."

"Kid. I'm not mad, ok? I just… I just really don't feel well…" And it's true. I was starting to get a headache and feel nauseous. I've been like this a lot lately… the doctor said it was just my body get used to the babies. I guess it's like morning sickness, but I usually get it at night.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" He asked, looking concerned.

"Could you… get me a glass of water please?" I mumbled.

Kid nodded and left to go to the kitchen.

I don't know what it is… but it feels different this time… I think… I think I should call the doctor…
