Love for Hiei Part 21: The Final Chapter
As the pain disappeared from my body, I adjusted myself in the bed at the Spirit World Headquarters' infirmary. Hiei wiped the sweat off my forehead and smiled at me.
"You did a great job, Mai. I'm proud of you."
"I never realized what hard work something like this is. I guess I was skeptical until it happened to me."
Before Hiei could say anything else, my doctor and a nurse rolled in two bassinets, each holding a small bundle. One bundle was blue, and the other was pink. The doctor smiled at me and nodded.
"Both of them are healthy. You did a great job, Mai. I recommend, though that you stay the night since having twins can be a painful, exhausting experience."
"Sure thing. Can I hold my babies?"
"Of course you can."
Hiei took the pink bundle and I was given the blue one. Once Hiei and I were alone, I smiled as I looked at him.
"Can you believe it,Hiei? We're the parents of twins."
"Hn. It definitely was a surprise, especially for me."
Mai's POV(flashback):
Not long after we got back from our honeymoon, I found out I was pregnant. When I told Hiei, he didn't say much. It's to be expected since he never before pictured himself having children. Currently, Keiko and I were just getting back from the infirmary inside of the Spirit World Headquarters. A huge smile lit up Keiko's face as she looked at my stomach.
"I can't believe it, Mai! You're having twins!"
"I know. I can't believe it, either. Do you think he'll care that I'm having both a boy and girl?"
"Don't think so. I don't think Hiei will care as long as you and the babies are healthy. What I do know is that he'll be even more shocked to know he's having two babies instead of just one."
"No doubt about that."
Kurama greeted us as we entered the mansion's kitchen, a plate of food in each hand.
"Welcome back, ladies. I figured you might be hungry, so I made you both some lunch."
"Awesome! Thanks, Kurama!"
He laughed as Keiko dug into her food. He saw me looking at him and smiled.
"Mai, is something wrong?"
"No, Kurama. Do you know where Hiei is? I need to speak with him."
"Hmm. I think he's in your room, Mai."
After walking up the stairs and entering our room, I smiled as I saw Hiei lying on the bed, facing the ceiling.
"Hiei, I'm back."
"Hn, about time."
I smirked and laid down beside him, resting my head on his bare chest. I sighed as he began running his fingers through my hair.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Everything checked out okay. The babies will be just fine."
He turned to face me, and I giggled as I saw how wide open his eyes were now. We both sat up and he placed a hand on my face.
"Mai, tell me you're joking."
"No, Hiei. I'm dead serious. I'm having twins."
"Twins?"
"Yeah."
He got up from the bed and I followed him. He pinned me against the wall with a smirk on his face.
"You're not joking?"
"Of course not."
With that, he tightly embraced me.
"What are they?"
"I'm having a boy and girl, one of each."
"Are they healthy?"
"Yep. They're doing just fine."
Hiei took my face in his hands and smiled.
"You have no idea how happy I am right now, Mai. I already have you, and now I find out I'm going to be the father of twins. Now I know I have everything I wanted."
"What do you mean?"
"I have a mate that I love very much, and I'm going to have two children. What more could I possibly need?"
I smiled as I kissed him and put my arms around him. He did have a point: with each other and two children on the way, what more could we possibly need than that?
Flashback End(Hiei's POV):
I smiled as the pink bundle began to move. She looked a lot like her mother. She had her mother's hair and facial shape, but she had my crimson eyes. I took a peek at the blue bundle my mate was holding. Our son had my hair and facial shape, but had his mother's brown eyes.
"Mai, what should we name them?"
"Hm. I've always liked the name Toya."
"Hn, looks like we named the boy. What about his sister?"
Mai smiled at me as we switched babies. She held our daughter closer to her as she opened her eyes again.
"I want to name her after your mother, Hina."
"After my mother? Why?"
"Had she not brought you into this world, I never would've met you. It's my way of thanking her."
"I like that idea."
Hina began crying softly, and Mai smiled as she saw what the problem was.
"Looks like she's hungry. Hiei, could you have me that bottle?"
I handed one of the bottles to her, and she gave it to Hina, who drank it eagerly. Soon Toya was awake and like his sister, he was hungry, too. Since Mai's hands were full, I fed Toya his bottle. After we burped them, we put them back into their bassinets and they immediately fell asleep. I got onto the bed beside Mai and took her hand, feeling her wedding ring. It seemed so hard to believe that when I first met her, she didn't speak a word. My feelings for her began that day at Koenma's office when she asked me to stay in the infirmary with her. Back then, I had no idea she and I would end up becoming so close. I thought that the feelings would just go away since at that point, I thought emotions and love were just a waste of time. I'm glad now that I changed my opinion. While I haven't really changed, I knew that I was a different person, and I was more than happy to blame Mai for that.
