*Toru and Hitomi both sit in chairs*
Me: so are you happy?
Hitomi: I know I am quit
Toru: the sex was a lot better than normal. Not that it isn't always good.
Me: not what I meant
Toru: what then
*Hitomi sniffs Toru*
Hitomi: (giggles)
Toru: what
Hitomi: nothing.
Toru: whats going on?
Me: remember I own nothing but my own characters.
Toru: hey!
Previously:
Chase let go as did Toru (who immediately passed out afterwards). Blood dripped from his fangs and he licked what little remained off Toru's lips then his own. He soon exited her and pulled her body close to his. He licked the mark on her neck until it was clean of blood and nuzzles it. He could tell, his seed had taken hold, and the smell of life suited her greatly.
Chapter 37: Due Date
Chase Young's lair
The next morning Toru woke up with bruises all over her body, her neck was extremely sore and her clothes were torn to shreds, another outfit bites the dust.
She felt a hand touch her face as Chase pulled her closer to him. They both smiled at each other and kissed. Chase then got up and carried Toru to his hot spring. She had never bathed with Chase before, but she kind of knew what was going to happen. And she was right, Chase wasted no time teasing her on all fronts then making love to her. Their escapades lasted for about an hour then they finally got cleaned and got dressed.
After Toru's legs healed she headed down stairs where she found Orion and Hitomi together. Now Toru didn't find this weird since she'd often find them together but they seemed happier than usual.
In any case Orion licked Hitomi's face and went about his rounds. The clouded leopard took on her humanoid form and went over to her friend all smiles.
"You seem happy." Toru said.
"I should be. Oh Toru last night was amazing, Orion and I finally mated." Hitomi said her voice full of cheer.
Toru gasped. "You are?" Hitomi nodded her head. "Oh, congratulations!" she hugged Hitomi.
"I never thought I could be this happy; was it the same for you and Lord Chase when you two first mated?" Hitomi asked.
"I was definitely happy, happier than I've been for a while since that little brat Omi was here" she frowned at the memory, the very thought that anyone else could help achieve Chase's goals other than her never sat well.
A lioness approached Toru. "Lord Chase requests your presence in the throne room"
Toru walked into the throne room and saw him sitting in his usual place, imposing as ever. "You wanted to see me Mas-uh, Chase" she still has to get use to calling him just Chase.
"Yes Toru, I have wonderful news." He got up and walked closer to his mate. "You are going to be a mother, my mate."
Toru's eyes widen with shock. "What?"
"You are baring my child as we speak." He smiled
Something unexpected happened something that surprised Chase to say the least. Toru started to cry, hot, heavy tears ran down her face.
"What's the matter, Toru, you are not happy about this?" this wasn't the reaction he was expecting from his mate. He thought she'd be extremely happy now, not in tears.
Toru placed her hand protectively over her stomach and looked at Chase. "Of course I'm happy, I cant believe it." She said a smile on her face and her tears of joy still flowing.
Chase cupped her face and wiped away the tears. "Believe it Toru."
"I promise, Chase I'll be a good mother. I'll make sure they'll get everything I didn't get from my own parents." Toru said determined. She would never deprive her child of love or affection if they wanted it. So what if she was evil and mated to the Prince of Darkness it doesn't mean that they wouldn't be good parents.
Chase chuckled, "I know you will, Toru." He cupped her face and kissed his mate tenderly.
Life around the lair for Toru had gotten a tad boring during her pregnancy. The first 3 months Chase and Toru had sex almost every night until she started to show, so she couldn't complain there.
During the other months of her pregnancy Chase had forbade her from leaving the citadel. His excuse was that if any of his enemies found out about her pregnancy then they'd stop at nothing to harm her, and in all honesty she wouldn't put it past Hannibal or Wuya. Still though Chase's restrictions had Toru completely confined; he had her move into his bed chambers-which she didn't mind-but she was barely allowed to leave it, and when she did Chase didn't want her to lift a finger. This life was not for her.
On the up side she didn't really have morning sickness, or any weird cravings. While being confined was not for her in all honesty Toru didn't have too much to complain about. Normally when a girl gets pregnant as early as she did, hell even earlier, they freak out because she wouldn't have enough money, she'd have to drop out of school, or the father wants nothing to do with the child. But Toru never had to worry about that 1: she's a genius, and home schooled so that was never an issue, 2: the same went with money after Chase took her in she was provided with everything a person could ask for, even more. And 3: Chase couldn't be more excited to be a father.
Toru would sit near the eyes of the citadel and rub her stomach gently talking to the baby. She told it about Chase and his dreams for world conquest and how they would rule together, how they could watch the world burn, and torcher humans. Yep, she couldn't wait to be a mother.
Although Toru wouldn't be the only one, about 5 months in Hitomi was to be expecting to but the only thing that worried her was that 3 weeks in she was showing.
Aranea walked in wearing a fancy high-end dress.
"Well, well, well, look at you, Miami has treated you very nicely" Toru said looking at her friends transformation.
"You two don't look to bad yourself, congrats you two. So what did you call me here for?" The spider queen said smiling.
"We need a midwife when the babies arrive. For obvious reasons we cant go to a hospital, so I thought of you." Toru explained
"Oh, alright. So let me see." Aranea touched Hitomi's stomach.
"Uh, what are you doing?" the clouded leopard
"I'm seeing how many kids you'll have."
Hitomi tilted her head in confusion. "You can do that?"
"A spider's touch is very sensitive. Ah, there they are. I feel 4-no 5, its small but its there."
Hitomi smiled brightly from the news. "5, I'm having 5."
"My question is whether she's going to have babies or kittens." Toru said with a side smile.
Aranea continued to feel her stomach. "My guess would have to be kittens, but even still there is an issue.
Hitomi gave Aranea a worried look. "An issue? What kind of issue?"
"A lion is 4 times the size of a clouded leopard, so while a lion cub can weigh a few pounds a clouded leopard cub only weighs a few ounces. So its not in your favor being a smaller breed."
"So what are you saying I could lose a child or all of them?" Hitomi knew she was strong but no parent can truly cope with the loss of a child. What was she going to do? The excitement of motherhood just turned into fear.
"I'm not saying that, I'll just have to keep a closer eye on you, that's all. But if things do get difficult then we might need to perform a C-section." Aranea explained.
Hitomi sighed with relief. "Wait, whats a C-section?"
"A cesarean section, it's a surgical procedure were a cut is made on the belly and the uterus were the child is removed. Although I wasn't aware that you could perform it." Toru looked at the spider queen questionably.
"All of my people were born through C-section, a spidernoid could carry a dozen children so it would be impossible to give birth naturally, I've seen it done a million times don't worry. Besides its only if something goes wrong, and from what I can tell they're perfectly healthy" Aranea said trying to comfort Hitomi.
Although it was nice to hear that her children where healthy it wasn't comforting that her children might be too big for her to give birth naturally.
Hannibal Bean's lair
Hannibal sat on to of ying-ying with Wuya right in front of her contemplating their next move.
Wuya was a tad concerned it was months since anyone had seen Chase or his bitch Toru. Part of not seeing them wasn't all bad, they were able to take several shen gong wu from the monks. And not having Chase around did allow there plans to move forward. "What if he's planning something? What if he's plotting to get rid of us for good?" the witch asked
"No worries darlin', he's simply biding his time." the little bean said
"For what?"
"Why for a chance for the prophecy to come true of course." Hannibal said almost bitterly.
"Another prophecy?" how many of these stupid prophecy's were there? It was starting to seem to Wuya that a new-technically old-prophecy kept popping up, seriously when would these things end?
"The prophecy stipulated that the children born of evil will help bring about the end of the world." He explained
"Really? How?"
"You and I weren't born evil, my dear, neither was Chase or Toru. Normally a person has to choose whether they are good or evil, but children born of it have no choice. Unlike those born of good, children born of evil will most certainly take on the sadistic traits of their parents, and if those two have created a spawn of their own then they will be trouble once they grow older."
"Then what are we waiting for? Why not rip the little trouble maker out of her stomach now?" Wuya said maliciously.
"Simple, Chase would no undoubtedly come at us full force if we did that, we'll just have to wait it out and make it look like the monks did it."
Chase Young's lair
The fateful day had finally arrived and it was anything but a magical moment.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Toru was screaming at the top of her lungs as she laid in the delivery room Chase had built for her. She knew child birth would be painful but she never imagined it would be this bad. The healing spells she placed on herself where not helping. She could feel everything that was happening to her body, she felt aches all over, pain in her lower abdomen from the baby moving into position, and the contractions, good lord the contractions, they keep coming.
"The contractions are 10 seconds apart now." Hitomi said to Aranea.
Aranea was dressed like any other doctor and so was Hitomi, they were as clean as the room was sterile. She couldn't get a certain smell out of her nose it wasn't bad or anything just weird. "Alright its time, you ready?"
"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" Toru screamed crying.
"I'll take that as a yes." Toru lashed out and was moving uncontrollably, she just couldn't take this kind of pain, her body was preparing for childbirth at the same time it was healing its self; this was going to be a long delivery. "Whoa, we can have you moving like that." She webbed Toru's hands and feet to the bed, she wouldn't be moving anytime soon.
The birthing went on for more than 6 hours and Toru was losing energy fast, she didn't know how much longer she could keep this up.
"Just cut it out of me and be done with it, already." Toru pleaded and she never pleads.
"You're doing well; I can already see its little head. Just give me one more big push." Aranea encouraged.
"NNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Toru pushed and cried as her vaginal walls stretched and the baby moved forward.
"That's it, that's it. Push, push, push." Aranea grabbed the baby. "It's a boy." He made small fussing sounds and opened his eyes, he looked around and gave a bored expression as if being alive and in existence didn't excite him even though he was there for only 2 seconds.
Toru panted, dripping in sweat, completely exhausted. "He's-he's not crying. Is he ok?" she asked already showing motherly instincts.
Aranea handed the boy over to Hitomi to clean him up and walked back over to Toru. "He's perfectly fine, you did well, and he's healthy.
"10 inches, 9 pounds and 14 ounces." Hitomi said. "No wonder it hurt so much." She giggled.
"Oh, shut up, cat." The warrior-ess said weakly. As sudden pain hit her as if lightning had just struck her. "AAAHH! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! WHATS HAPPENING?!"
Aranea ran back over. "Oh! Oh my, it looks like another baby!"
"WHAT?!" Toru and Hitomi yelled.
"Its alright. The babies moving fast and I can already see the head, just push."
With what little energy remained Toru pushed out the little unexpected life she had in her. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Aranea caught the baby as it started crying. "It's a girl." Unlike her older brother who remained silent she cried but was quickly calmed down after she saw her new surrounding and made happy cooing sounds, she was so excited. She gave her to Hitomi to clean her.
"7 inches, 5 pounds and 8 ounces. She's so tiny." Hitomi said happily. Although she was sure she was going to act more like an aunt at the moment she smiled at her new 'brother' and 'sister'.
Toru could barely keep her eyes open but still had a burning desire that couldn't be ignored. "Give them to me, I want to hold them."
They handed Toru her babies. She smiled lovingly at her children, they were absolutely beautiful. She carefully adjusted her blouse to allow them to feed. They latched onto her breasts and began to eat happily. She looked down at her children as they fed; they were a perfect mixture of her and Chase. Her daughter was a few inches shorter and a couple pounds lighter than her brother but she was healthy and that was all that mattered to her.
Aranea went outside of the birthing room to inform Chase. He was waiting outside patiently but he could hear his mate's screams of pain and it angered him that he couldn't do anything but wait.
"Well?" he said to the spider queen.
"Congratulations my lord, you were blessed with twins. A boy and a girl, they're both healthy, put the birthing has but a great deal of strain on Toru's body she will need to rest for a few days and I suggest not allowing her to move around for a while."
"Understood." Chase simply said before he walked into the delivery room and sees his mate feeding their children.
'Our mate has done well'
"Chase come say hello to your children." Toru said smiling handing him their son.
Chase looked down at this tiny thing, he was so small, so fragile, and yet Chase could tell he was strong. He was the perfect mixture of him and his mate; he looked like him but had his mate's skin color and hair color while still having his golden eyes proving he was his heir. His daughter was the same she looked like Toru but had his skin and hair color, but her eyes-one was green and one was gold-truly it looked beautiful on her, his perfect little lotus flower.
Chase's son looked up at his father showing nothing more than a bored expression before gave a small smile, proud to see who his sire was. He knew between the two of his parents he and his sister would become very strong.
"So how come you couldn't tell we were having twins?" Toru asked looking at Aranea.
"Well its not like we ever did any x-rays, but if I had to guess one child managed to hide behind another." Aranea explained.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking Lord Chase, but what are you going to name them?" Hitomi asked.
Chase looked down at Toru, they had been thinking of names for a while. "Kia, and Mei-Lien"
Sooo are you guys happy? I'm back. Do you like the twins, I know you all cant wait to see Chase and Toru be doting parents and you'll get it defiantly. I hope I captured the miracle of childbirth well. So any suggestions on what their personalities might be? Hannibal and Wuya are up to something again. Oh yeah next chapter there will be a character death, you wanna guess who it is? Plez review.
