Chapter 5: Birth

Allen Walker, the great general who defeated the Millennium Earl, was currently walking around in circles as more droplets of sweat dripped down his temples. Trailing him behind was Komui. The latter didn't know whether to strangle the other man until he suffocated and died and then inject as many injections as he can and then let his Komurin bury him.

Another scream reached their ears.

Allen looked frantically at the door.

"Did you know half a million women die from pregnancy complications every year?" Timothy randomly stated. It didn't helped in lightening the mood.

"Timothy," Maricar said. "Who taught you that?"

"Bookman did."

She glared at him but looked at the door again. How long was she there again? Why wasn't she coming out? Did something go wrong? She bit her lip in worry. Then, they heard her scream again but louder. Oh if she continued to scream she was so going to barge in and help her best friend.

After 5 minutes of silence, a nurse went out of the room and approached them. Allen was the first to talk.

"How is she?"

The nurse smiled. "Sir, it was successful. We are just going to transfer her to another room so that she won't be uncomfortable. After that, we'll call you and then you may see her."

Allen sighed in relief and slumped in the nearest chair. "I was so worried. I thought she'll die…"

"Hey, she avoided death many times. She's strong." Maricar reminded him. "Though, I had to admit she worried me so much."

Bookman smiled. "Yeah, her screams definitely made me worry."

"I-Is she okay now?" Miranda, who just arrived, asked. "How are they?"

"They made it." Kanda answered.

"Lookie, lookie! Mama!" A bubbly girl with short wavy hair tugged on Miranda's dress. "There are mushrooms growing on Uncle 'Mui's head again! Is he going to create another robot?"

Marie patted the girl's head and carried her. "Darling, Uncle 'Mui won't be doing that for a while now." He kissed her forehead. "And growing mushrooms is his current hobby."

The girl wriggled her way out of her father's grasp and continuously poked Komui. Soon, the other exorcists came. There were some finders and scientists too. Allen furrowed his eyebrows. What the hell was taking them so long?

As if reading his mind, the nurse appeared and smiled warmly. "She's in room 207 sir. We advised her to sleep but she insisted on staying up."

A smiled graced Allen's lips. "I know, she's sometimes stubborn like that."

When he entered the room, he almost forgot the people following him. He on the bedside and kissed her hands gently. She smiled at him. He smiled back and saw them. Heaven's dearest angels were sent to them. He kissed her forehead. Their twins both opened their eyes at the same time. But they quickly closed it; he couldn't stop himself from smiling any further. They were blessed with a daughter and a son.

The baby boy's hand suddenly popped out as if asking them to touch him. Allen complied and took his son's hand in his gently. They swore they heard their baby girl giggle.

"They're beautiful aren't they?" His wife told him.

He nodded. "Just like you…"

"HEY! MOVE IT!"

"Nu-uh! You move it!"

"Hey! Hey! I wanna see the babies!"

"You're not the only one!"

Despite the noise, the twins managed to fall asleep. They must've inherited some traits from Nii-san, Lenalee thought, they are heavy sleepers.

"So…What are you going to name them?"

Lenalee looked at the baby boy and smiled. "Alex, Alexander Walker."

"That's a wonderful name." he said and observed the baby girl's face. "How about Lena for her? Helena Walker."

Alex and Lena Walker, it sounded like music to their ears. They both smiled. They're their beautiful children.

"Just because my niece and nephew are cute doesn't mean I will hesitate killing you Walker."
