AN: I´m so, so sorry about the late update! It´s been pretty busy. And I broke my damn ankle so it´s six weeks staying home. Thank God, I have my dog, Jiro here with me! So anyway, here is another chapter! Enjoy!

It´s been a week since Lavi told Komui and Bookman what had happened during his mission. And not a day have gone by without him thinking about the child inside of him. And it still was little unclear how he could have become pregnant, but Komui thought it had something to do with the Innocence and the Noah´s blood. Like that really was the problem here, what was he supposed to do? He was a Bookman in training. He was not supposed to have children or anything else like a family.

Lavi sighed. Maybe a good meal would keep his head away from all of this for a while.

"I´m telling you, he has been acting really weird!" Lenalee argued while Allen stuffed yet another bowl of food in his mouth. "Would you stop for a minute to listen to me?" She snapped. Allen put the bowl down on the table and looked at his friend sighing. "Lenalee, I am listening and I know he´s been acting odd, but it really isn´t our place to say anything." He told her. Lenalee frowned. "Not our place? He is our friend. Aren´t we supposed to help him if something´s bothering him?" She asked. Allen nodded. "Yes, but I think this is one of those things, that Lavi will tell us once he is ready to." He said and picked the bowl once more and continued eating.

Lenalee sighed. She knew Allen was right. But something told her that Lavi wasn´t going to tell them even if he was ready to. She would have to get to the bottom of this.

"Oh, hi guys."

Allen and Lenalee turned their heads towards the new arrival to see it was Lavi.

Speak of the devil indeed.

"Hey Lavi." Allen smiled. "How are you feeling?" Lavi shrugged. "Fine. Why? Is something wrong?" He asked. "No no, nothings wrong!" Lenalee laughed awkwardly.

"Ok. Mind if I sit with you?" Lavi asked. Allen motioned his friend to sit down.

A moment of silence passed.

"So what´s up?" Lenalee asked looking at Lavi. "Nothing new." He said and took a bite from his bread. "So, you´re ok? Bookman hasn´t said anything or someone else?" She continued asking. "No, why are you asking so much all of a sudden?" Lavi asked getting a little annoyed.
"No reason. I just thought I´d ask, since it´s been so long since we last talked." She smiled. Lavi blinked. "Lenalee, we talked yesterday at dinner. Remember?" He asked.

Lenalee blushed. "Ok, maybe I need a different approach." "Oh yeah, right. I forgot." She laughed. "But anyway. The reason I´m asking, is that...has something happened? You look kinda off." She said. Lavi´s eyes widened slightly. "N..no nothings wrong. i´m fine. Nothing has happened." He said. Then he stood up and picked his tray. "But Lavi, you haven´s even eaten." Allen said. "Not hungry anymore." Lavi told him and walked away from the table.

Allen watched his friend walk out of the dining hall and then turned to face Lenalee. "What?" She asked. Allen sighed. "I told you that he will tell us, if there´s something to tell." He said. "I know, but I was just worried about him. He really has been out of it for a week now." Lenalee sighed. "I know you´re worried about him. Me too, but maybe it would be the best if we left him alone for a while now." Allen said. Lenalee sighed even deeper and nodded. Allen was right.

"Damn those two..." Lavi cursed as he walked back to his room. "Why did she have to be so nosy?" Lavi stopped walking and sighed. He knew he wasn´t supposed to be angry at his friends. This whole damn ordeal has been messing his mind complitely.

Lavi continued walking towards his room. He needed time to think this through.

After Lavi arrived to his room, he was greeted by Bookman sitting on the bad with a frown on his features. "Gramps? What is it?" Lavi asked. Bookman looked at his apprentice for a while and then spoke. "Come with me." He told Lavi and stood up and walked out of the door followed by confused Lavi.

Bookman and Lavi arrived to the supervisors door and knocked. "Come in." Komui shouted from inside and Bookman opened the door.

"Bookman? Lavi? What is it?" Komui asked.

Lavi shrugged. "Beats me, Panda just told me to follow him here." Lavi said and prepared himself for the beating he knew he was going to get for calling Bookman a panda.

It never came.

Lavi´s eyes widened and he raised his eyebrow. What was going on?

"Komui." Bookman started.

"Yes? What is it?" Komui asked, not liking one bit of where this was heading to.

"I want you to terminate the pregnancy." Bookman told Komui.

Lavi gasped. Terminate? Kill the baby?
He look to his still-flat stomach and lifted his hand to touch it.

"Terminate? Are you sure?" Komui asked carefully. Even though this was an enemy´s child, it still was half Lavi´s.

"I´m sure. Kill it." Bookman told him.

Lavi didn´t want to believe what his mentor was saying. He wasn´t even sure why he was hesitating to terminate the pregnancy. It was Noah´s child. Nothing good will come of it.

"Maybe we should give Lavi some time to think this?" Komui asked looking at the troubled boy.

"No." Lavi said. Both Komui and Bookman turned to look at him.

"No what, Lavi?" Komui asked.

"Lavi, this is a child of the Noah. It will bring nothing but evil if we let it be born." Bookman said sternly. "And I´m not going to allow it.

"No..." Lavi whispered once more.

"Lavi, he is right. The Earl won´t hesitate to turn the child against us once he has the opperturnety. And you´re not ready to be a father even!" Komui said trying to sound calm, but was failing.

"Lavi this is not going to be even a choice for you. You will terminate the pregnancy." Bookman said getting slightly angry.

"NO!"
