Today had been a more relaxed day than usual, the two males waking up to a strangely clear night, resulting in them going for a walk under the moonlight. Kaname had ensured that there was no one in sight, capable of seeing them and giving away their secret and ruining everything they had worked for. Hours later they had found themselves back in the house, Zero leaning against Kaname as he rested after exerting himself more than usual. Both of course thought it was worth it, it wasn't often the silverette got outside in his condition, being past 7 months pregnant had its effects on his physical abilities.

But now, much like every other day, Kaname had instructed the young hunter to drink his blood. Being so far gone in pregnancy seemed to make their daughter even hungrier than usual, her kicks sometimes getting more demanding and painful. And as always, every time Zeros fangs brushed against his neck the pureblood got chills, his body always aching for more.. But he never pushed for more, instead he allowed the hunter to pick the pace of their relationship, something he wasn't completely accustomed to.

It was a rare opportunity to be able to be outside at all for the younger hunter... It was something that he did not think would happen for months even after the baby had been born. But it seemed as if it had been the perfect night, and it even seemed to have soothed their daughter from having her mother being able to move around from time to time instead of glued to a chair. It was because his hips had finally broken into their new shape maybe a week ago, and after some soreness from the break, they seemed to have returned back to normal...

Well, as normal as it could be as his hips were now like a woman's, wider and designed for child birth. It had been after that time that the two had gone to the nursery, Kaname painting while Zero grudgingly waited downstairs because of the fumes. The nursery was finally coming together... And it seemed like they were that little bit closer to having their daughter. Even now they were excited... Though Zero's excitement didn't have an impact on his energy level. He was still extremely tired and needed to rest every now and again.

They would sit down from time to time once they would find an area that they wouldn't get themselves too dirty if they sat. There they would lie back, look at the stars, and they would... talk. Talk about baby names, talk about what they still needed in the nursery, talk about everything that came to mind. It seemed rare that they could enjoy their time together like this, but it happened...

It wasn't until Zero had nearly dozed off that Kaname had helped him back to his feet to help him back home. Now they were back to the living room, with Zero wrapped up in a blanket by Kaname's pleading to make sure he didn't get cold. He only grumbled but secretly was a little thankful. That was until Kaname asked him to take blood once more from him...

He wasn't really in the mood for blood, having had to take it twice a day now since he had been getting much thirstier. Actually all he wanted was to have a day off and have water instead... But the thirst that always rumbled in his throat told him otherwise. So with a slight sigh, the hunter sat himself up a bit from leaning against him, glancing back to see that Kaname had already shifted his brown hair away from his neck.

"...You need to cut your hair if we'll keep doing this," Zero grumbled as he slid a little closer and leaned down to Kaname's neck. He barely gave Kaname time to react before he nipped his fangs into his neck enough to make the blood flow and allow him to drink.

"Anything for you, Zero"

Murmuring gently as the hunter pierced his neck, Kaname stayed still for the hunter pressed up against him. They didn't enjoy spilling blood, especially when Zero needed it for his pregnancy. After a while though the young hunter pulled back and licked his lips, Kaname only too quick to wipe up some of the access that dribbled down his chin and licking it off of his own finger. He didn't do that to save the blood they were wasting, instead he did such a thing to see the blush cross the others cheeks.

They didn't want to take things too fast but seeing Zero so cute like this always warmed Kaname's heart. To know that his ex enemy was now capable of blushing around him from small movements was enough to give him hope that Zero would eventually love him back.

Eventually was the key word in that statement. Zero wasn't about to give any bit of him away without a fight, and right now he may be losing that fight... but was still fighting. He would fight until he finally threw his heart at Kaname. Sliding himself a little bit closer to the pureblood's side to make sure that he would be able to drink, it didn't take long before he finally slid back.

Though the thumb that wiped the blood from his chin still made him blush as it did every damn time that it happened... Damn it, what the fuck was wrong with him. He couldn't be giving in this easily... Trying to shake his sensations away, he grumbled as he sank back into his pile of blankets, curling them around his swollen stomach.

"...You irritate me," Zero grunted though at the same moment let his head rest onto Kaname's shoulder. This was one of those things Zero did daily, trying to pass off that he couldn't stand Kaname... Though they seemed more to be acts of denial than anything else right now. Securing the blanket around his swollen stomach, he let his eyes close as if to take a slight nap.

"And you drive me crazy" Smirking slightly as the pureblood lifted one arm and wrapped it around the hunters shoulders lightly, he couldn't help but glance down at the young male. They were easing themselves into a daily routine, one that Kaname could easily get used to. Zero did do some adorable things after all, ones that Kaname seemed to enjoy immensely. Even this whole denial act entertained him to no end, giving him the illusion he was chasing his pray, only to trap him into a corner and have him squirm about uneasily. That was also something that set off his dominate instincts..

Letting a gentle sigh pass though his lips as he stayed embraced with the young silverette, Kaname's gaze flickered to the extinguished fireplace, only to light it with one of his usual looks. He was far too comfortable to even think about getting up and doing it physically..

The amethyst eyes flickered shut as he let the warmth of Kaname's body slowly crawl into his own body, warming him in ways that a blanket simply wouldn't be able to do... But at least he seemed happy this way. He wouldn't have to grumble and squirm his way out like normal, and instead seemed to accept that he liked having someone to sit next to, someone to lean against...

Though as moments passed, a slight stiffening peeked its way into the hunter's body, and a soft grunt of surprise and pain passed from his lips. Normally that wasn't a good sign... But as he started to rub the bottom of his stomach again, it seemed to have been another hard kick. But the confusion that crossed his face seemed to add a line of mystery into the sudden pain...

"Ow... cramp," Zero muttered as he passed off the pain, trying to rub away the sensation that had started in his lower waist. The sting was still there, but dulling... Though it still seemed strange that it was happening right now, right when he had gotten comfortable. Maybe he was supposed to be tending to their little girl instead of allowing him to rest. How dare he try to do something like rest...

Kaname used the hand that was free from the others shoulder to move over and rub against the same spot the hunters hand had been rubbing, attempting to rub away the cramp that was threatening to spoil the males rest. "Are you sure it's just a cramp? I can go and get some pain killers if you prefer"

He hated to see the hunter in pain regardless of what it was for. But this one seemed to be sticking around a little while longer than the usual cramps, maybe it was another Braxton hicks coming along, something Kaname really didn't want to go through with Zero again. Kaname always tended to panic with a lot of Braxton hicks, his worry getting the better of him on multiple occasions and letting him call the doctor. Then again some of them even Zero had been concerned about.

The first time he felt the hicks was when Zero had been the most concerned... Bit by bit he had begun to grow use to the pains and instead had expected them from time to time, especially when he had been laying down for a while. Grumbling softly as he felt the soft hand trying to rub at the area close to his hips, he couldn't help but wince at where he was rubbing.

"It's just a cramp... She's being an ass and hogging up my organs' space," Zero grumbled as he rubbed a little deeper, slowly nudging Kaname's hand away as it started to reach a more intimate spot near his crotch. That alone had been an area that had been hurting much more than normal as well... He wondered if it was just from the aches of his hips snapping.

Though as he eventually stopped rubbing and slipped back into position beside Kaname, it wasn't long until he flinched again with a groan of irritation, only to place his hand to the same spot and start rubbing again. "Son of a bitch..." he growled out, though mostly out of his own irritation than the pain. The pain itself was soft, more like a pinch than anything else. He would hate to think that her kicking and moving had made him pull a muscle...

Kaname still couldn't stop the concern that ran through him, even as Zero pushed his hands away. He wasn't about to try anything on the male so why would he need to do such a thing? Forcing back a sigh, Kaname gave the hunter a light squeeze when he swore at the second 'cramp' vaguely wondering if he should call the doctor. "If you want anything at all just be sure to ask, even if it's only water or some crackers" Giving the male a concerned look from the corner of his eye, Kaname shifted a little closer to the other, hoping his presence would calm their child in the slightest.

Though that was probably something that wouldn't happen, their little girl didn't seem to care at all if Kaname was there or not. Only if her mother had been doing what she wished.. Of course most of the time he hadn't been and that had resulted in a fair few harsh kicks.

Surprisingly enough, the hunter shifted just as closer, leaning against Kaname slightly. That pinch was a little harder this time... Rubbing deeper to try to relieve himself of the pain, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Silence consumed both of them as Zero anxiously waited for the pain to happen again, counting the seconds as if he was counting hicks...

Though this time it didn't seem to get them as much of a break as the pain seized Zero again, this time nearly making him doubling over in pain from the sudden hit. A growl was forced through his clenched teeth as his hands quickly pressed down to just beneath his stomach, where the pain was stabbing him the most...

How could it have gone from a light pain to a stab in just a single heartbeat...

It brought a slight tremble to the hunter as he tried to rub away the blistering pain, though this time, it didn't seem to want to fade. Was this what a... contraction was supposed to feel like? "F-fuck..." Zero growled out as he tried to rub away the pain and gather himself again, though the pain did not fully fade... Instead it struck again, harder, and forced itself to attach to him like a parasite.

This time Kaname didn't stay still, instead he quickly slid from the couch and knelt in front of his lover, clasping his hands down upon his shoulders to help him ride through this pain. "I-I'm going to call the doctor, please just try and stay as still as possible, this pain isn't normal."

The doctor had told them to call if anything like this ever happened, braxton hicks never brought severe pain to the silverette and that was clearly what he was feeling now, there was no way he could misinterpret this in the slightest, no matter how much Zero may try to brush it off.

Pulling the sleek silver mobile from his pocket and dialing the number saved to the top of his list, Kaname quickly barked into the phone on the other end, only to hiss a few more words. It seemed that the doctor was a fair way from the mansion, an hour away if he left now. With an aggravated huff and shoving his phone back into his pocket, Kaname looked up at the hunter with concern in his eyes.

Pain was fresh into Zero's eyes as he tried to rub away the pain, though this time, he didn't refuse Kaname's action to get help. He shouldn't be feeling this amount of pain... Was he in labor already? Was she coming now? Wincing as he felt another wave of the pain attack and bite into his body mercilessly , the hunter couldn't help but let out a soft groan of pain.

This wasn't right at all, he wasn't supposed to feel like that... like he was about to die, like his body was being ripped apart... But as soon as Kaname had finished speaking to the doctor, the hunter was trying to fight off another wave of pain, this one stronger than the last. With the pain seeming to almost double by the moment, the hunter couldn't help but look back at Kaname and try to plead, "...W-what did he say I should do?"

All of that studying of what he needed to do when he was in labor seemed to have gone to waste. He hadn't thought that labor, or at least he thought it was labor, would happen so fast. Was it because he had been walking around with Kaname? Is that why she was deciding that now was the proper time to come into the world? But there was no way for her to get out!

Ruby eyes quickly moved onto the hunters shoulders more firmly, only to gently push him back onto the couch. "To just breath deeply and lay back. Relax as best you can and try not to move too much with the pain unless you want this to progress. We aren't sure if this is the real thing but it's the least we could do to stop it"

Kaname didn't want to attempt to ease his pain with his powers, knowing that it could easily speed things along if his body took it the wrong way. It was things like these that frustrated Kaname all the more, not being able to assist the silverette in any way. From there Kaname placed his hand in the others forehead, attempting to calm the other from a simple gesture. It probably wouldn't work but he really couldn't do much more. How could they possibly get through an hour of this?

The hunter had no choice but to follow his instructions as Kaname slowly laid him back onto the couch, though he was slightly trembling at the thought that what he was thinking... really was happening. If he was really in labor or if this was all just something about a cramp going too far. Sucking in a deep breath, the hunter tried to close his eyes and relax onto the couch, but that pain in his hips...

But it wasn't his hips this time. It was inside them. Deep inside... And he could almost feel the pain descend bit by bit, as if they were contractions that were fueling it forward... He hadn't thought that this would be what it felt like. Was the passage simply going to be created as their little girl struggled her way to live? The hunter tried not to panic but to think that she could be at risk...

Taking in another deep breath, he soon let it out in a gasp of pain as another wave of pain struck deeper this time, his hands balling into fists as they clung onto the bottom of his shirt. Why was this happening to him... Why now. She wasn't going to be ready... Another soft groan left his lips as he tried not to think of the pain, but it was hard... "...I-I don't want her to come now," Zero tried to growl, but instead it came out in a soft whine. He wanted his daughter to be ready, not be forced out of the safety of his stomach...

"Shh.. Shh.. We don't know if that's happening, Zero.. It may just be something else, don't fool yourself into thinking that she is truly coming just now.. It isn't likely to happen now. his could simply be something new you are experiencing." Rubbing onto the large stomach slowly, Kaname tried to alleviate any pain.

Though he knew that wasn't where the pain was located, but he knew Zero wouldn't want him to touch where it truly had been. It was obvious by this point that he was uncomfortable with allowing him anywhere near his more intimate area, regardless of if they had already had sex or not. He wasn't about to dwell on that though, his main priority was ensuring the hunter was getting through each bout of pain, lending his hand to the silverette to squeeze when they got particularly bad. If he broke a bone it would simply moments later after all.

There was simply nothing else that Zero could do except rest and try not to think about the obvious... Swallowing back another groan of pain as best as he could, he forced his eyes to close and took in another deep breath. Of course it was cut short by another flash of pain, digging in deep as if it was slowly slicing up his hips... Bit by bit...

It wasn't long before Zero had grasped onto Kaname's hand, holding it a little tightly to begin with. Minutes silently passed after that, and strangely enough, there wasn't another flash of pain. But the pain already in his body was refusing to die off... Not yet. But just as the hunter decided that maybe it was over and that he could try to rest, it hit again.

Zero's hand clamped down onto Kaname's hard, his knuckles turning white by the sudden piercing pain that felt like an explosion. It hit too fast for him to hide the cry of pain that tore free from his lips, the first that wasn't a soft moan of pain. It left him breathless by the sheer force of the pain, leaving him panting for a few moments and desperately trying to regain his composure...

And to think Kaname had thought that it was all over. He was sadly mistaken as the pressure from his hand was enough to almost crack a finger or two. If this wasn't labor then he was in for a difficult time when it finally came, he would slowly have his hands broken with the amount of pressure the other was applying.

It was almost tempting for Kaname to shove his arm in between the silverette's lips, allowing him to bite down to alleviate the pressure. Though Kaname was sure that would be a mistake, his arm would probably suffer far more than he was willing to allow. Not to mention it may not even help Zero with the pain at all.

"It's okay, it'll be alright.. Remember to breath deeply, we will pull through this, Zero" Running his spare hand through the others silver hair in a relaxing motion, Kaname could do nothing but watch the pain on the others face, being half tempted to call the doctor to ask if there was anything he could do.

Zero's panting breaths didn't slow as he tried his best not to stop breathing, but he didn't know what he was supposed to do... Was he supposed to push? Was he really in labor? Was something breaking inside of him? Or was it his daughter that was being harmed, the pain in his body a screaming cry for help that Zero wasn't hearing... He tried to level his breathing, sucking in a couple deep breaths to help him calm down.

But he was already shivering deeply as Kaname's hand remained intertwined with his even though he may already be regretting it. Moaning softly in the pain that refused to pass, Zero forced his eyes to close as a slight sweat started to glisten against his brow from the strain of enduring the pain. "...a-all your fault," Zero moaned out as he tried to rub away the pain.

It seemed like it was a regular labor... Zero's pain was continuing to get worse. Kaname was getting sworn at and his hand broken. It seemed like a picture perfect labor... Except for one thing. That doctor wasn't here yet. And it wasn't until a deep pressure pressed down in the center of his hips, a burning pressure, that he groaned out to Kaname, "...I-is he coming yet?!"

"She. And no, she has no where to come from, Zero. We have to wait for the doctor for anything to truly happen. I'm sorry for putting you through this, i truly am" He didn't wish to have the hunter in pain at all, in fact if he could take away every ounce of it he would in a heart beat. Unfortunately though, he couldn't.

"I meant the fucking doctor...!" Zero attempted to hiss at the pureblood, though it ended with a groan of pain, his hand once again clamping hard. Wincing slightly at Zero's grasp, the pureblood knew that it would be best to call again. So he had no choice but to call the doctor once more, to ask and plead with him to hurry. Purebloods weren't meant to do such a thing but desperate times called for desperate measures. Though he hoped that word didn't spread too much at what he had done..

Pulling out the device once more and dialling the number for the doctor, Kaname once again started to talk to the doctor, being told much the same thing as he had been earlier. With a sigh as he hung up the phone, Kaname looked up at the silverette. "He may be a while yet"

A loud groan probably managed to get caught onto the call as Zero felt another hard wave of that pain. What, now was he going to have to deal with her pushing against his hips, trying to find a way out of him? What if the doctor couldn't come in time! What if she died!

"K-Kaname...! I fucking hate y-" his groan of pain was cut off by yet another deep piercing pain, though this one was the worst yet... It ripped down from the bottom of his spinal cord, forcing its entire way down through the center of his hips and remained there like he had just been shot and the bullet was still deep in his body.

Though as Zero's hand clenched hard onto the hand he still held captive in his grasp, the pureblood probably would be the first to notice that something... Wasn't right. It was almost like the sound of something... Tearing. Slowly ripping away. And as Zero's body jerked on the couch as the pain intensified, an unwelcome scent drifted its way into the air... It was only to take a single breath before Kaname would know exactly what it was.

Blood.

That smell alone was enough to make Kaname stiffen up in his spot, all color draining from his face. Something had happened.. And that something must have been bad. Ruby eyes quickly flickered over the hunters body, ensuring that the look of him from the outside was alright, only to look back into amethyst eyes.

"Z-Zero! What happened? Where does it hurt and what can I do to help you?!" The panic in his voice was obvious as he looked at his lover. Perhaps he was wrong in thinking that this wasn't labor, Braxton hicks had never caused something like this and it most definitely wasn't a symptom of them.

The doctor couldn't get here fast enough, Kaname was well beyond panicked at this point, something no one would truly suspect. He was always so calm and collected, who would ever guess that faced with child birth and the one he loved he would completely lose all sanity?

Another low groan slipped from him as he tried to fight away the pain that ripped through his body, only pushing its way deeper inside him. Why the hell was it so painful...! Kaname thought that she wasn't supposed to be coming, that there wouldn't be a birth, but right now... The hunter couldn't help but wonder if they were going to be welcoming their daughter tonight.

Kaname's panic wasn't exactly helping the hunter at this time, and Zero almost wanted to reach out and strangle the pureblood to make him stop talking. This wasn't helping anything... Groaning again, he soon managed to catch the scent of blood as he clung to Kaname's hand harder and harder. "...i-I don't know!" Zero cried out as he felt the pain tighten into his hips, and the blood scent only thickened. Whatever it was, it was obvious that it wasn't something good...

Trying to bite back another cry of pain, he slowly moved his hand down and pressed it against the front of his hips where the pain was worse. But what he wasn't prepared for was the wet liquid to touch onto his hands... It was warm, and he wondered if it had been his water breaking. But as he pulled his fingertips to his face to see what the warm liquid was, his entire body stiffened up. Crimson blood blotted his fingers... This wasn't good.

Kaname's eyes widened at the sight before him, even more dread seeping into his system. This was in no way normal, the doctor hadn't even ran through a scenario like this. Would that mean things were far worse than they imagined? Could their little girl be pushing her way through without a proper exit and making one herself?

All of these questions gushed through Kaname's mind within seconds, his eyes roaming over every other part of the hunter to ensure he hadn't been bleeding anywhere else. "Where does it hurt? Is the pain still coming?" Ripping his shirt from himself and wiping off the bloodied hand of his lover, Kaname pressed the torn shirt to where he thought Zero was bleeding from.

"If we apply pressure then the bleeding might slow down" The last thing he wanted was for Zero to bleed out before the doctor even arrived, having to deal with the male coming in and telling him what they had done wrong.. It was why Kaname pressed his hands in a little harder.

"Y-yes it's still coming you asshole! Why the fuck would I be bleeding if I wasn't in pain?!" Zero cursed at the pureblood, though he didn't try to push the pureblood away from helping him this time... Maybe the panic was starting to take control of the hunter as well. After all, the doctor wasn't going to be here anytime soon, the baby was probably on her way, he was bleeding...

"I-it hurts... there," Zero tried not to blurt out the fact that it was coming from his crotch, of course where the baby would be deciding to come out of. What other way would she try to make her 'grand entrance'? Trying to do as Kaname was doing, he tried to press his hands down to where the blood was coming from between his legs, trying as hard as he could to keep himself from panicking...

Another audible tear soon muffled its way through his skin, making the hunter cry out in pain again. The scent of blood only got thicker as the hunter tried to squirm his way away from the sudden pressure that battled underneath their hands, the aching pain as if she was ripping her way through his body... Though he wondered... why he didn't feel her move. Why his stomach was still carrying the huge weight and why it didn't seem to move with the contractions and her trying to squirm her way out... Instead, it was just... pain.

The pureblood cringed at that noise, the tearing and ripping.. It would have hurt and in a way he was glad he didn't have to feel it. Though he would never tell Zero such a thing, he would get slaughtered on the spot for even mentioning it. So as he tried to give a little more pressure against the small spot, he couldn't help but look away from the blood.

He had never had a chance to feed from the silverette properly, and now that he felt like they were a couple that need got all the more greater. So the amount of blood that he could smell right now was something he found hard to keep calm over.

"L-let me look, I need to see if and what is ripping. It might help for when the doctor comes" Even if Kaname called through about what had happened to get advice it would help. Well he hoped it would, they really didn't have much more of a choice. It was still about forty minutes until the doctor came at this point, aybe a little less.

What if she was coming and they didn't have time to wait for the doctor to come? They couldn't just wait and try not to let her come, it could hurt her...! Though it wasn't like the hunter had read into this part of the pregnancy, thinking that he wouldn't have to worry until the ninth month. All he knew was that the contractions, if this was what they were, would lead to pushing.

Zero sure as fuck wasn't going to push without the doctor here. Though he may change his mind once he feels just how much pain he was in... But right now, strangely enough, Zero didn't seem to have any problem in Kaname looking. Maybe he could help him and the baby... If she was really coming, the doctor could always give them instructions if Kaname called him again.

It couldn't be that hard... delivering a baby... from a man... ...Fuck, Zero was screwed.

Groaning out in pain was the only answer that Kaname was given as he tried to suck in deep breaths and fight away the pain. But the ripping seemed to be going faster and harder, louder... As if it was starting to rip through... Damn it, she couldn't possibly be coming now. They didn't have any supplies! Trying to run through his head of anything they might need to try to distract himself from the pain, he managed to pull his hands away from his bloodied pants, only to use his shakey fingers to unbutton them... But he wasn't in a position to really do the rest.

The hunters movements were enough of an indicator as to what Kaname needed to do. Gently he pushed away the others hands, trying not to aggravate him in the slightest. He knew that with emotions running so high that Zero could easily snap and either bite into Kaname or merely yell at him some more. Either way he didn't wish for it.

Peeling back the trousers slowly to ensure that he didn't apply any needless pain to the silverette, Kaname eventually eased the material down passed the others legs and eventually slipped them off all together. Though that still left the others underwear, the harder part of this task. They would be the item all the more willing to harm the hunter.

Slipping his fingers under the hem of them and gently easing them down. Kaname flicked his gaze up towards Zero to see if he was in any extra pain because of him. Since it looked like he hadn't been, Kaname continued to move the material down and eventually slipped them off with the other. But he didn't look yet, not when he was slightly nervous at perhaps seeing their child's head,

Fuck, why didn't Kaname hurry up already...!

Curses flew from Zero's lips as Kaname pulled off each article of clothing, trying to help in any way he could by lifting up his hips so he could slip them out from underneath him. At least maternity pants, another thing Kaname had bribed him into wearing, were easy to come off... Probably because they expected Zero to still gain a few more pounds.

Blood clotted the fabric under Kaname's fingertips as he peeled each of the layers off of Zero's lower half, though it seemed to almost frighten the hunter just as his underwear was slipped off. A startled painfilled gasp slipped from his lips as the ripping only deepened, and fresh blood was spilled from... somewhere. Though it didn't seem like he was about to let the pureblood find out where it was coming from.

Because the hunter had already tightly pressed his thighs together, though immediately regretting the motion as he moaned out in pain. But he was... afraid. Afraid that their daughter may be coming now, that she might already be starting to be born at this moment. Maybe he could just... hold it. Yeah, hold it. "...I-I change my mind. I-I'll... h-hold it," Zero groaned out, though it was obvious by the desperation in his voice that he wasn't thinking clearly yet.

"You cant hold a baby in! If you're giving birth then there's no way she will wait for you at all. Let me see, it's important that I do so in case I need to call the doctor again." Though the brief look he did get at the hunter showed that there wasn't some huge gash and their daughter poking her head out.

The only thing he managed to pick up was the sight of blood, something he had already expected to see regardless of what was happening. With a small impatient sigh, Kaname moved his hands forward and pressed them onto the hunters knees.

"Open"

And of course Zero refused to listen. With a frown the pureblood decided to do it himself, gently easing open the others thighs, only to have him press them together once more. This was starting to aggravate him now, he merely wanted to help and yet Zero continued to evade every attempt.

But couldn't Zero at least try? A soft groan didn't hesitate to slip from him as Kaname refused to let whatever happen happen on its own... But he didn't want her daughter to come any faster if he would do as Kaname said and opened his legs again. What if she was already almost here? He could at least keep her from coming out all the way until the doctor got here! Right?!

Though with every try that Kaname made to try to open his legs, he quickly pulled them back shut again. It was foolish and childish, yes, but it was better than possibly be giving birth without anything to help them... They would need towels, scissors, water, damn it he couldn't think of anything else other than that!

He didn't have to, though, as he soon felt the pain quickly kick into overdrive as another hard pain dug into his body, and another long rip was heard. That was the worst one yet! The hunter couldn't stop the cry of pain from leaving him as he dug his hands into the couch, his body trembling under the strain of the pain. If Zero wasn't convinced that she was coming, then he was now...

Just as the pain started to fade from the harsh attack and the ripping silenced again, the weakened whine slipped from the usually stoic hunter. "...O-Okay... B-but then you need to go get towels and scissors... and whatever you'll need..." Sinking his claws into the couch as if for support in case she was really arriving and he would need to push, the hunter slowly, painstakingly, allowed his legs to open enough to let Kaname see...

"...I-Is she here?"

The words passed through Kaname's ears as though Zero had never spoken them. Why? Because the sight that was before him was something he never expected within a thousand years. It was also why he was silent for a long stretch of time.. Just... staring.

Eventually though he knew he would have to speak, Zero was getting worried the longer he waited and it was obvious that the male wanted answers. But would he truly want the answer Kaname was going to give? No. Instead he would let the hunter see for himself, or feel. He couldn't very well bend over and view it for himself.

"She isn't coming. It wasn't labor. It was.. Something else.."

Blinking several times before straightening himself up fully to sit back against the floor. Kaname looked a little pale. Was he dreaming and this was some sort of twisted nightmare? No, that wouldn't be right because the end result wouldn't have been this... How confusing.

The pale look on Kaname's face spooked the hunter instantly. Was it that wrong that Kaname couldn't even put it to words? Had something ripped inside him? Were his guts splattered all over the couch because he just shit them out or something?! Kaname wasn't telling him anything! It left the hunter panting on the couch, bracing himself for more pain...

But then it didn't come.

The pain was dulling to a soft burn as if a wound had been opened. It wasn't the sensation of shitting his guts out onto the bed... Right? Swallowing a little to try to brace himself for what Kaname must have seen, the hunter hesitantly started to sit himself up to see. But there was the problem of his fat stomach getting in the way... So it looked like Zero was going to have to look for himself.

Bracing himself for the worst, he slowly moved his hand down and ran it along the curve of his stomach, making sure nothing was wrong there. Then slowly he went down to his hips... And then to his crotch... It was instantaneous that the hunter knew something was terribly wrong and it made all the color pour out of his face. He was speechless for a few moments as his hand searched, pressing against his bloody flesh... But it wasn't...

"...w-where is it."

So it seems like another kink has developed in the pregnancy~ What else will Zero have to deal with now? I'll be updating with the next chapter soon so you won't have to wait very long to find out~!
