4.

~Another month later (currently five months)~

Maka and Tsubaki wanted to have a girls only night. So we decided that today at five, Kid and Black Star would go over to Maka and Soul's then Tsubaki and Maka would come here.

It was four thirty, and I was saying goodbye to Kid.

He hugged me close and kissed me gently, "I'll miss you." He murmured softly, "And you guys too." I smiled as he leaned down and kissed my belly.

"I'll miss you too." I said, cupping his face in my hands. I want to see Maka and Tsubaki… but I also don't want Kid to leave…

We heard a knock at the door and Kid kissed me again. "I love you! I'll rush home tomorrow! Promise!" He started to kiss me multiple times; I giggled and pushed him away.

"Go on, silly." I said and he started to walk towards the door. He blew me a kiss and opened the door.

"Kid what are you still doing here?" Maka asked, smiling and walking in.

He put his hands up in defense. "I'm going, I'm going!" I waved to Kid as he closed the door behind him. I turned to Maka and Tsubaki,

"Hi. It's nice to see you guys." I said smiling.

"Good to see you too!" Maka said, squeezing me in a tight hug.

"Don't hurt her, Maka…" Tsubaki said, smiling nervously.

"I won't!" Maka pulled away. "So what are we gonna do tonight?"

"I'm not sure… I didn't really think about it…" I trailed off.

"How about we just talk for a while?" Maka suggested.

I nodded. "Good idea."

We seated ourselves in the living room.

"So Crona, how have you been lately?" Maka asked, smiling big.

"I've been good, just a little sick. How have you guys been?"

"I've been good!" Maka said.

"Me too." Tsubaki chimed in.

After a while of basic chatting, we decided to watch a movie.

During the middle of the movie, I felt a small flutter in my stomach. My attention was pulled from the screen and I focused on my belly. I placed my hand on the top of my stomach and felt one of the babies kick lightly. My first thought was that I had to tell Kid, but then I realized he wasn't here. I felt a small wave of sadness hit me.

"Crona? Is something wrong?" Maka asked. She and Tsubaki were looking at me with concerned faces.

"Oh, yeah… I'm fine; it was just one of the babies kicking."

Maka's eyes widened slightly, "Can I feel?"

I nodded and showed Maka where the baby was kicking. She smiled and excitedly said, "I feel it, I feel it!"

Tsubaki came over too, "Would you mind if I felt too?"

"Of course not." I said and smiled.

After a while, the babies stopped kicking. "That was so cool!" Maka exclaimed happily.

I smiled at her reaction. "Yeah… it is pretty amazing…"

After the movie ended, we decided to go to bed. But before I got in the bed, I decided to call Kid.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Oh, Crona. Are you guys having fun?"

"Yeah, are you?"

"Well… they are. I can't stop thinking about you."

I smiled, "I can't stop thinking about you either. Guess what."

"What?"

"The babies were kicking earlier. I think they miss you too."

Kid chuckled. "I'm coming home early tomorrow. I can't stand not being with you. It's making me really anxious. Are you feeling ok? No pains or anything?"

I giggled at him, "No, I'm fine. I'll miss you tonight. I'm glad we're getting to spend time with our friends… but I really wish we could do it together."

"Me too. Tell the babies I love them. I love you Crona, sleep well, ok? I'll try to be home before you wake up."

"Ok, I love you too."

"Good night."

"Night." I hung up the phone and sighed. I finally climbed into our now crowded bed with Maka and Tsubaki. I waited for sleep to take me… but it didn't seem like it was willing to come. After a few hours of lying there, I decided to get up and go into the living room. Maybe if I watch TV for a while I'll get sleepy…

I clicked on the TV and tried to get into a comfortable position. Which I soon found out was impossible, because the babies were certainly not about to let me feel comfort. They wouldn't stop shifting around and kicking in odd places. Not to mention every ten minutes or so I had to go to the bathroom. I think tonight will be an all-nighter…

After a few more hours, I saw light start to fill the room. My eyelids felt so heavy and my body felt so tired... I closed my eyes to try to sleep. But of course, right when I shut them one of the babies began to kick my spine. I groaned slightly and shifted, trying to relieve the uncomfort.

I heard someone come in the front door and looked up to see Kid. "Good morning." I said sleepily as he walked over.

"Crona? Are you ok? What are you doing in here?" He came over and sat next to me, kissing my cheek and hugging me close.

"I… I couldn't sleep…" I leaned my head on Kid's shoulder. Weird… the babies stopped kicking…

"You didn't sleep? Not at all?" Kid asked, looking surprised.

I shook my head. "The babies… wouldn't stop moving around… It was uncomfortable…" I felt myself start to doze off slightly.

"I'm sorry Crona. Why don't you try to rest now and then you…"

I didn't hear the rest of what he was saying because I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I still felt really tired. I looked around… I was in our bed. Kid was lying next to me.

He turned and saw me, "Good evening, sleepyhead. I'm glad you got some rest."

"What time is it…?" I asked groggily.

"Six." He replied, scooting closer and wrapping an arm around me.

"I'm sorry I slept all day…"

He kissed my forehead. "Hush. You need your rest." He pulled me tighter, "But now that you're awake, I can get my daily dose of Crona," He pushed my bangs out of my face and kissed me on the lips. It was another tender, amazing kiss. He pulled away and caressed my face in his hands, "Let's agree to never again hang out with our friends separately ever again. I can't stand missing you so much."

I smiled and snuggled closer. "I agree."

Kid reached down and stroked my belly softly. "I missed you guys too."

I was surprised by how sincere Kid's expression was. I stretched up to give him a quick kiss.

He chuckled, "What was that for?"

I looked away and blushed, "I don't know… you just… you're amazing, Kid."

He looked surprised, "I'm not amazing. If anyone's amazing, it's you. I know this pregnancy has been tough on you, and I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have someone as kind, as caring and as strong as you to be my wife and the mother of my children."

I was taken aback; I didn't know what to say. Of course I teared up a bit. With all these raging hormones and sappy words, how could I not?

Kid smiled slightly, taking my face gently in his hands and staring deep into my eyes. "Oh Crona… I don't know how I could ever live without you…" He placed his lips on mine. The kiss was passionate and sweet. I tried to savor every second of it…

I can't imagine being with anyone other than Kid… not now, not ever.
