Tsubaki ran up to the sobbing girl and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Ssh Maka, it's okay."
"Yeah! I mean, you've had the black blood before. Won't your Anti-Demon wavelength turn the black blood into some awesome armor like when you fought the kishin?" Liz pointed out.
"Ooh will your clothes vanish then you will have that pretty dress? That was so cool!" No. My Anti-Demon wavelength will work for me, but what of the baby?
"Patty, why don't you go get the ice cream out of the freezer? Oh and bring chocolate syrup and sprinkles."
"Righty do!" Patty ran towards the kitchen leaving the more serious girls. Maka sniffled a few times before she calmed down. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and her soul was everywhere.
"Maka calm down." Marie put her hand on Maka's shoulder.
"I am calm." Maka brushed Marie's hand away and slouched.
"Maka you and I know thats a lie. Your wavelength is all over the place. Now calm down, it will be alright." She just looked away, but calmed down a little. They were fine until Patty came skipping back into the room, her arms full of ice cream.
"Brr! Its so cold!"
"Just like black blood..." Maka hung her head started to cry again. Patty stopped and was quiet, looking confused.
"Damnit! We just got you to stop! Maka stop crying you and your baby will be just fine! I will make sure of it!" Tsubaki looked furious. She saved that kind of loving anger for special occasions and this one one of them. Maka looked up, surprise flashing in her eyes. Maka then got that determined look just like when she fights kishins. She nodded once laid down against the pillows.
They all got situated and settled down for the movie. Maka started to laugh at some parts, and she looked happier. The girls were successful! At the end of the movie all of the ice cream and popcorn was gone. Maka no longer had that blank sad look on her face and Marie looked less worried. After they had all helped clean up Marie took Maka's arm. "Maka, I can drive you home if you want."
She nodded in agreement and started to walk to the door. "Bye Maka! If you need cheerin up again just call!" Liz waved while Patty jumped up and down imitating Moe.
"Buffoons! Take that! Kyahahaha! Sis, you be Curly!"
"Oh no, no way in hell! I am not bald nor do I wish to be so!"

That night Maka had her normal dream of Crona visiting her. "H-hey Maka."
"Crona! It's been so long!"
"I know. I'm sorry. I heard you were going to have a baby. I don't know how to deal with babies..."
"Yeah, I just got some bad news though..."
"Black blood." Crona looked down to stare at his feet.
"How did you know?" Maka walked closer to him and put her hands on his shoulders, forcing him to look at her.
"I have black blood. It sort of heats up when another person with black blood comes near. Also Ragnarok told me."
"Do you know if the baby will be okay? I mean you have had the black blood for all of your life. You know so much about it."
" Oh, uh... You should be fine if you or your baby doesn't fall into madness." He looked down again and Maka stepped back. "But it looks like-" Her dream started to fade and she realized she was waking up.
"Wait! Crona come back! It looks like what?!" Maka yelled and thrashed with her eyes shut tight, trying to fall asleep again. She sat up when she knew she wouldn't sleep again. "Damnit. I need to know what Crona was going to say." Maka rubbed her head in frustration. She stood and got dressed still pissed off, and went to the kitchen. From the smell she could tell that Soul probably was cooking eggs and failing miserably.
"Do you need help?" she asked. Soul jumped and turned around to look at his meister and wife. She looked tired and angry but not sad as he had expected.
He scraped at the omelet he was trying to make and shook his head. "Nah, I was going to make you breakfast in bed but..." He gestured to the plate of almost burnt food as he turned his attention back to the egg with ham in it.
"That's fine Soul." Maka got out silverware and set them on the table. She got two cups out and filled one with coffee and another with orange juice. They sat in silence while they ate until Maka spoke up. "So... I spoke with Crona last night." Soul looked up from his plate.
"Really? What did he say?"
"He said the baby and I would be fine unless we fell into madness. He then said something else but it was cut off because I woke up." She stared into her coffee while Soul just looked at her.
"Well I guess that little part wont matter! I mean, you haven't gone into madness so it should be fine." He smirked and picked up their empty plates. She smiled back at him and left to brush her hair.
"Maka!" Soul poked his head into the room. "The gang it going to play basketball. I said we would come so dress light." She gave a thumbs up and Soul left, leaving her to her thoughts again. She changed into a simple tee and pants that had a little 42 on the pocket. She threw a hat on her head and went to join her husband. Passing the room she used to sleep in, Maka opened the door to see if a certain cat was in it.
"Blair! Soul and I are going to the basketball court. Don't let anyone into the house unless we know them!" Blair nodded and scratched at the scratching post they bought to stop her from destroying the couch. It was a small walk to the court. She had her arm hooked through Soul's and giggled.
"What?
"It's just... What do you think the punishments are going to be this time?" Soul laughed as Maka went through all of the possible outcomes. She froze in mid sentence and stood still with a shocked expression on her face.
"Maka? What's wrong?"
Author's Note: Wow that took so long... I'm sorry please don't kill me!
Maka "Fuck you."
Me "Whaaat?!"
Maka "You know why. Messin up my pregnancy."
Me "Was just for the story! Everything might turn out okay in the end!"
Soul "MIGHT?!"
Me "Shit..." *Gets killed by crazed daddy scythe*
