-Another month-
Kid and I discussed some names, but we didn't decide on anything right away.
After a while of cuddling, Kid got up to make some breakfast. He brought me some eggs and juice. We ate in bed together; which is something we never do. It was very nice and relaxing.
After we finished eating, we had a little more cuddle time.
"Are you going anywhere today?" I asked as Kid brushed back my hair from my face gently.
"I need to go to the grocery store later… but I don't think I will…"
"Hmm? Why not?" I looked up into his eyes.
He smiled slightly, "Because I don't want to get up and let you go."
I smiled back and laid my head on his chest. This is so nice… why can't everyday be this perfect? I sighed slightly as I felt my eyelids get heavy.
I must have fallen asleep, because when I awoke the evening news was on and Kid was asleep next to me. I smiled slightly as I looked at his face. I'm… I'm just so happy I found someone as wonderful as him…
I reached up slightly to caress his face. "Oh Kid…" I whispered softly.
He looks so youthful when he sleeps… so… beautiful…
Kid opened his eyes slightly and looked down at me. "What time is it?" He asked sleepily.
"I'm not sure…" I said, still staring intently at his face.
"Crona…? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I … I don't know… you're… just so beautiful…"
"What?"
When I realized what I said, I blushed hard. "I-I'm sorry… j-just forget I said anything…" I buried my face in his shirt.
I heard him chuckle slightly as he gently lifted my head to look at him. "Too cute." He said as he kissed my cheek. I blushed again and looked away.
"You're embarrassing me…"
Kid made a strange face, "Ok, Crona. Really. Stop. I can't take it." He leaned down and kissed me on the lips this time. I felt my heart speed up as the kiss became more passionate. We haven't kissed like this in so long…
We pulled away, trying to catch our breath. Kid looked deep into my eyes with an expression so… tender… that it made me almost forget to breathe. Kid kissed me again, but this kiss was softer...
"Crona?"
"Hmm?"
There was a short pause as Kid stared into my eyes. "Are you happy?"
I was taken aback, "What? Of course I am. Why would you ask that?"
"I don't know… I just… I want you to be happy. I don't want you to fake anything for my sake."
After a second, I giggled. "Kid, are you serious? I have never been happier in my entire life. How could you think that I'm not?"
Kid smiled slightly, "I'm just making sure." He said as he leaned down to kiss my forehead.
We ended up staying in bed the whole day. We went to bed early and I woke up late. I turned to find a note instead of Kid.
Good morning sleepyhead,
Going to the grocery store, be back soon. I love you; stay in bed.
Love,
Kid
I smiled slightly and placed the note next to me. I sat back and rested my hands on my stomach. I can't believe that in just a couple of months our babies will be born… I wonder what they'll be like… what they'll look like…
I felt myself start to get nervous. I really don't know how to be a mother… what if I don't raise my kids right? I want them to be well-behaved and respectful… but how do you teach that? I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind. I shouldn't get myself worked up over things like this… everything will be fine.
"Ring, ring!" I jumped slightly as my cellphone rang. I picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey, Crona. I didn't wake you did I?" It was Kid.
"No, you didn't wake me. Is something wrong?"
"Ah, well I might be later than I thought. I got into a little car accident... I'm fine though, so don't worry."
A car accident? "Are you sure? You're not hurt at all? What happened?"
"No, I'm fine. I promise. There's just a little legal trouble to deal with. I'll explain when I get home. Try not to get up too much, ok? There are some leftovers in the fridge if you get hungry. I'll try to get home as soon as possible."
"O-ok. Just… please be careful."
"I will be. I love you, bye."
"Love you too, bye."
I sighed and laid my phone next to me. I think I'll take a bath… I'm starting to feel stressed. I hope Kid really is ok and wasn't just lying…
I stood and went to the bathroom. I turned on the water and began undressing. When the bath was full, I carefully sat in the warm water. It feels so nice…
I leaned my head back and stared at the ceiling whilst stroking my belly gently. I can't wait to see my babies…
I smiled as I imagined what they might be when they grow up… maybe one will be an artist… or a teacher… maybe a doctor…
I hope they'll be friends... they probably won't though, brothers and sisters do tend to fight… but I know that deep down they'll love each other. I smiled as one of the babies began to kick. And, as always, the other one soon joined in. They should be twin soccer players!
I giggled at the thought and relaxed back into the water. I feel a lot better now… this really helped me calm down.
After a little while of soaking in the tub, I finally decided to get out. I very carefully stood and dried off. I wrapped a towel around me and drained the bath. I then walked into the bedroom to find some clothes. I wonder what time it is now… it looks like it's a little before dinner…
I pulled out a nightgown and put it on with a pair of cotton shorts. I laid back down in bed and picked up my phone.
It rang for a while and then I heard Kid answer, "Hello?"
"Hi, Kid. Is everything ok?"
"Oh yeah, everything's fine. I'll be home soon. Just wait a little longer, ok?"
"Ok…" I wish he would tell me more…
"I love you, bye!"
"Love you… bye." Why is Kid acting strange? I feel like he's hiding something…
Maybe he really did get hurt? Or… what if there wasn't actually a car accident… what if he's going to see someone else? He did ask me if I was happy earlier… is he happy? Maybe he was looking for an excuse to leave me…
I shook my head. No way! Kid would never do that! I really have to put more faith in him…
I rubbed my temples. I jump to conclusions too often… and they're never right… I have got to stop doing that…
I stood to get something to drink. I walked sluggishly into the kitchen and poured a glass of water. I heard someone knock on the door, so I went to answer it. I opened it to find Kid, Maka, Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki.
"What are you guys…?" I noticed they were all holding shopping bags. I looked to Kid for an answer.
He smiled and stepped in to kiss my cheek, "We decided to throw you a baby shower."
I felt my heart fill with warmth as a smile plastered itself to my face. "What?"
Everyone stepped inside, "I meant to do this earlier… but I could never bring myself to leave you here by yourself."
I smiled bigger and covered my face slightly. "Y-you guys are going to make me c-cry…" I said into my hands.
Kid smiled and hugged me tight. Maka joined. Then Tsubaki and Black Star. After a second I heard Soul mumble, "How could I resist a group hug?" As he hugged me too.
I felt so happy… I can't believe they actually went through all this trouble…
We had such a good time. The baby shower lasted almost four hours. We played party games and had cake. We even had everyone say what names they liked the best.
I'm so happy to have friends like them…
A/N Hi! I hope you liked this chapter! When I started writing it, I had no idea what I was going to make happen… but then it turned into a baby shower. I thought it was cute so I kept it ^-^ (I normally write certain parts but end up erasing them later and not posting them.) Name suggestions are still open if anyone would like to contribute :D
