"Maka? What's wrong?"
"Soul. Look at my arm..." Maka help up her arm with the scared expression still on her face.
"Holy shit..." He ran his fingers over the black glove that stretched up to her elbow.
"What do you think this means?" She looked at him with her eyes wide and glossy. He patted her head and slightly ruffled her hair.
"It's gonna be okay Maka. I wont let anything happen to you." She sniffed and smiled at him.
"Yeah I know you wont." They continued to walk until Maka let out a huff.
"What?"
"This damn glove is hot!" She scratched at it, not able to take it off.
"Thats all? Pft!" She punched him in the arm and glared him. They continued on, laughing.

"Yo Soul! Maka!" Blackstar tossed the ball over to Soul and he caught it easily.
"Hey guys!" Maka walked over to the court and Soul just grunted a greeting.
"Hey Maka?" She looked up to Tsubaki, "Why did you wear a glove? And just one at that."
"Oh... Just the black blood acting up. Its nothing! But this damn thing sure is hot." She sat down in the bench they were standing by, sure that Soul wouldn't let her play. "Guys go play! Go have a great time! I'm fine!" They nodded and ran off, Patty stealing the ball from Black Star. They started an unofficial game after Liz yelled out that Maka would be the referee.
"Huh?! I don't even know the rules!"
"It's easy Maka! Just be the ref!" Kid yelled out while trying to get a basket from the middle. They played boys vs girls since they had three and three on each team. The boys started to get mad because Tsubaki was taller than they were and kept blocking the ball from going into the net.
"Hey! Double Dribble! Thats a foul!" Black Star yelled out when Liz had the ball.
"No way Black Star! Maka's the ref and if she didn't yell anything out, I DIDNT DO IT!"
"You saw that right Maka?!"
"Huh? Saw what? What's a double dribble? Guys help me out please!" They played the game until the girls got to ten. They always played games until a team got ten points. The score was 10-6 they finished. The guys just had too many faults to win. With Black Star always hogging the ball and Kid obsessing about symmetry, they didn't stand a chance with Patty plowing through and Tsubaki being tall enough to catch the balls they tired to throw over her head.
The game she wanted to see was a one on one with Liz and Soul. They were both laid back and athletic, being able to shoot the ball and almost never miss. "Hey guys! Why don't Liz and Soul one on one?"
"Nah I'm tired plus we need to get out home." Soul stretched and popped his back.
"Aw c'mon. I know you aren't that tired and I don't need to be babied just because i'm pregnant..." She pouted when Soul handed her his hand, expecting it to be taken. She frowned but grabbed his hand, letting him pull her off the bench.
"Lets go home. We need to be sure Blair hasn't wreaked anything in search of food." They said their good byes and set off towards home. Since it was late when they got in their small apartment, Soul started dinner. They fixed plates and Blair joined the two. They ate and laughed, telling each other about their day. Blair put the plates in the dishwasher and Maka went off to bed soon followed by Soul.
Maka fell asleep while reading a book and Soul smiled. He picked the book up and placed her book mark in it. He set the book down on the bedside table and lightly kissed her forehead before falling asleep himself.

Maka woke to someone's arms around her. She woke up like that every day now. Soul curled around her snoring lightly with drool hanging from his lip. She patted his head and slowly untangled herself from his grip. She walked to the bathroom and brushed out her hair when she noticed that her other arm had the same black glove on it. "The hell?! What else is being taken over by black blood?!" The day went by pretty much like the morning did. Clothes that she wore when she purified the black blood kept appearing and taking over her usual uniform.

(Long Time Skip)
"Sooooul!" Maka whined.
"Whaaaat?" He yelled back at her.
"I can't put on me shoes!" A noise was heard from the other room and Soul came walking in clutching his stomach. "Will you stop laughing and help me?" He slipped on her shoes and buckled the straps, still laughing like crazy. "Oh shut up. You can laugh when you get pregnant."
"But men can't Maka." Soul pointed out trying to stifle his chuckles.
"Exactly." He pouted when she grabbed her jacket and walked out the door to go to the picnic Kid had arranged. They had special news today and was planing on surprising their friends. They got in the car Soul had rented and he started to drive out to the park. They were planing to buy the car once they got enough money. Soul parked the car and walked Maka to their friends who were either laughing or chasing each other in a game of grown up tag. Only Black Star and Patty were playing the game, Liz was 'playing' too but she looked like she wanted to kill them both.
"Hey Maka, Soul!" Tsubaki waved them over to the blanket she and Kid were sitting on.
"Hey!"
"Alright, what did the two idiots do to make Liz so mad now?" Soul jerked his thumb over to the three.
"They ruined Liz's chance of getting a boyfriend again. Then they decided that Black Star would kiss her and Patty would grab her boobs and run away while Liz chased them." Kid said with a straight face but Maka and Soul were dying laughing. Tsubaki helped Maka sit on the blanket and Soul checked what they had in the basket. Once they all settled down, Black Star and Patty with huge bruises, every one had a plate full of food Tsubaki had made.
"So, we have some news for you all." Maka said casually before taking a bite of her sandwich. The group crowded around staring wide eyed. "It's going to be a baby boy!"

(Long time skip... again)
"Maka... Look." Soul came into the hospital room holding a little blue bundle. He handed her their child and she gasped. He had a little pink tuft of hair on his head. "I know what you want to name him Maka." They had put off naming until they actually saw the baby. Tears were falling down her cheeks as she remembered how Crona had saved them all by sealing himself and the keshin on the moon.
"I don't want to name him Crona Soul, but I think I would like his middle name Crona." He patted her shoulder and looked at her with sad eyes with the memory.
"Alright, but what are we going to name this little guy?" Soul lightly pushed his finger at the baby's nose and he grabbed his fathers big finger with his little ones.
"How about Yuki?" Maka suggested.
"Meaning bravery or courage... Nice choice. Yuki Crona Evans. Has a nice ring to it."
"But wait, how does he have pink hair? No one in either or our families had hair like his." The doctor walked in and answered Maka's question.
"It could be Spirit's red hair mixed with the genes of Soul's white hair. You never know." He wrote something down on a clip board and left, leaving the parents alone with their new child. Friends and family visited for the next few days until Maka was able to go home. Tsubaki especially kept trying to hold Yuki. She even almost took him home with her! It was an accident but they all pestered her about it later.
Soul walked Maka up the stairs as he held the pink haired baby in his arms. Maka opened the door and Soul helped her sit on the couch. He handed her Yuki and went into the kitchen to fix a small snack.
"Sure is good to be home." She sighed then she said in a small squeaky voice, "How do you like your home Yuki?" She nuzzled her nose with his and he yawned happily in his sleep. Soul came and sat down on the couch next to his family and set a plate of apple slices on the table.
"I love you two." He kissed both Maka and Yuki before turning on the T.V. on low volume.
