For the next two months, Kurogane decided he should monitor Fai's health. Five months and he hardly even looked like he was carrying a child.
With his shirt on, and without a coat, you can tell just a little that was was gaining weight.
It made a certain ninja worry that something was wrong with the child, that maybe it was ill, or something. But when he approached Fai about it, he just got mad and walked away. Kurogane wasn't sure what his problem was though.
"Why are you upset with me?" Kurogane asked as he walked up to Fai, who was reading a book on the living room couch.
"I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with the child. " Fai sat the book down on the end table.
"Don't bother me." He said in a somewhat calm but irritated voice. He stood up. He figured it would be pointless in telling him that he was upset that he thinks Kurogane only cares about the child, not him.
"Well, I don't care what you say, you should be a lot bigger than you are, we are going to the hospital."
Kurogane grabbed Fai's arm and forced him up. Surprisingly, he was as gentle as he could be. Fai could barely feel that he was making him get up.
"Kuro-WHA!" The ninja then quickly but carefully picked him up bridal style.
"I've..uh...Read some books, and heard that pregnant women's ankles get swollen and sore around this time, so you don't have to walk." He said in his normal irritated tone.
Fai really wanted to yell, "YOU FUCKING IDIOT! I'M NOT A WOMAN! I CAN WALK ON MY OWN, YOU BIG FUCKTARD!" But he decided to go with a simple "Um...Ok..." instead, and blinked at the ninja a few times.
Fai went to the doctor once a week to check up on everything, so going now was going to be a hassle for him. He was getting to be tired of it.

"Alright, what's wrong?" Katsuki asked brightly as Fai sat down on the bed thingy.(Really need to know what that's called)
Kurogane stood by Fai with his arms crossed. "Well...I didn't really want to come, but Kuro-Daddy here is worried." Fai closed his eyes and smiled.
Kurogane blushed at the nickname. When Fai called him that before, he got pissed, but now that name struck truth.
"I see...What's the problem?" The doctor asked again.
"I guess I haven't been gaining any weight, and Kuro-tan thought that maybe something was wrong." Katsuki stood up.
"Oh, I'm sure everything is just fine. You came here just five days ago, and it was fine. Have you been eating the recommended amount of nutrition I told you?"
Fai looked away embarrassed. "Well...No...I hardly have been eating at all."
Katsuki sighed a little and smiled. "The child it growing, just slowly because you're underweight. You need to help it get the nutrients it needs by eating every day. That will keep it healthy." The two travelers nodded in union.
"Thank you, I will do that." Fai said standing up. "That's all for today gentlemen, you may go. Come back any time you need to."
Kurogane was relieved the child wasn't sick, but now he had something else to worry about.

Kurogane stood in the kitchen in front of Fai. They both stood in front of each other, staring at each other. The air was silent as the two studied each other's movements.
"You have to eat." Kurogane stated, or more like commanded. He had to drag the shorter of the two into the kitchen; after much protest and kicking around, Kurogane just threw him over his shoulders and carried him.
"I'm not hungry." Fai replied back plainly. Kurogane knew he was going to say that, and at that moment he really didn't want to fight with the wizard.
"Do it, now. You have to. You heard what the doctor said."
Fai's face got red with anger. "I can take care of myself! You're not my mother! UGH! Never in my life have I seen anyone so bossy! No, you're not bossy! You're beyond that!" He kept going on and on, throwing his hands in the air to cause emphasis.
"I swear, you're more BITCHY than the Queen of Sheba! I mean, I know that you don't care about me, so don't bother! You're so selfish! I should just fu-" Fai's rambling was cut off when Kurogane crushed his lips against him.
Fai immediately shut up. But as quickly as it happened, Kurogane pulled back. Fai's eyes widened with confusion.
The ninja just simply looked at him and said, "eat, for me?"
Fai looked away and sighed. "...Fine!" He turned around to hide the huge blush creeping up on him. "I'll eat." Kurogane smirked. Now he knew that to do to make him listen.
Kurogane decided to take another step and grabbed him from behind, and pulled him into a hug. "Ah!" Fai shouted in surprise.
"Thanks, wizard." He said in a monotone voice, but it also held some sweetness.
Fai looked down and thought, 'This is going to be a long three months.'
