It was a few minutes past midnight and Soul had just been awoken by his Meister's screaming, as he quickly jumped out of his bed, and rushed to Maka's room.
"Maka?" Soul called to his Meister as he slammed open her bedroom door, and looked around the room.
Soul spotted Maka sitting up in her bed, sweating and shaking slightly, while tears streamed down her cheeks.
"S-Soul," Maka whispered, as she looked to her weapon with a frightened expression on her face.
"What happened?" Soul asked as he sighed in slight relief, before he walked into the room.
"I-I had a nightmare," Maka replied in a quite tone as she hugged her knees to her chest tightly.
"What was it about?" Soul asked as he walked over to Maka's bed, and rested a caring hand on her shoulder.
Maka didn't reply, as she just turned away from Soul instead, while she wiped her eyes, "Kid died before our baby was born," Maka stated with a sigh.
"Maka it was just a dream, okay?" Soul came and sat next to Maka on her bed, as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.
"I know, but what if that did happen? What if he never gets the chance to see our baby?" Maka asked as she buried her head into Soul's bare shoulder (I think Soul is the kind of guy that only sleeps in his boxers shorts).
"Listen Maka, he will wake up soon, the nurses said that he's recovering really well, and besides that Reaper is so full of pride and stubbornness that he'd never let anything stop him from seeing his own child," Soul stated as he smiled to Maka slightly.
"I guess that's true," Maka thought out loud as she smiled weakly back to her weapon.
"He'll wake up soon,"
"You think so?"
"I know so," Soul replied as he kissed Maka lightly on her forehead.
"Thanks Soul," Maka smiled back to Soul as he wiped her tears away.
Soul just smiled to her in reply as he patted her on the head gently, and winked to her slightly, "We can go and visit him again in the morning, if you want," he suggested.
Maka just nodded as she sighed slightly, before she drifted off to sleep in her Weapon's caring arms.
….
In the morning the gang had all come to visit Kid in the hospital again, but unfortunately Kid hadn't woken up yet and he had, had another fitting episode late last night, long after the gang had left.
Tsubaki and Black Star were having a late breakfast in the hospital café (since they had come to hospital without having anything to eat), Soul and Liz were talking to the nurses about Kid outside his room again, and Maka and Patty were sitting at Kid's bedside in his room.
Maka sighed slightly as her positive attitude had been crushed after hearing of Kid's un-pleasant night. She was sitting on the edge watching the Reaper sleep soundly, while Patty sat on a chair beside the bed, looking to Maka with a concerned expression on her face.
Maka had noticed that Kid was hooked up to more machines than he was yesterday, he was now wearing an oxygen mask, and she was sure that the Reaper was breathing a lot slower and heavier than yesterday.
"Patty?"
"Yeah?"
"What if he never wakes up?" Maka asked as she looked to Kid with a saddened look in her eyes.
"Don't say that Maka-chan, I'm sure he'll wake up soon," Patty stated, trying to reassure the other girl with a caring smile.
"How can you be so sure? What if he has another fit tonight? What if he dies tonight?" Patty noticed that Maka's deep emerald eyes were glazed over as she asked her these questions, and tears were slowly running down her cheeks. But her face remained expressionless.
"Maka-chan," Patty sighed slightly as she stood up from the chair, and gently wrapped her arms around Maka, "That won't happen, not when he knows that he's got you and a baby to wake up to," she stated happily.
Maka just sat motionless in the younger twin's embrace, as more tears streamed down her cheeks and she slowly closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked back to Kid as she felt that something was terribly wrong with him at the moment.
Maka noticed that Kid's breathing had quickened slightly, and that something was VERY wrong with his soul, "Patty, can you go and get a Doctor?" she asked as she pulled away from the younger twin's loose embrace, while she was still looking to Kid.
"Why?" Patty asked, confused.
"Just go and find one please, and tell them to come here, alright?"
"Okay," Patty replied with a slight nod, before she left the room to go and find a Doctor.
Maka looked to Kid as she stood up from the bed, and rested her hand over the sleeping Reaper's chest. She closed her eyes slowly and focused her breathing, while she emptied her mind of all thoughts.
Suddenly her eyes snapped open as she gasped in surprise, and removed her hand from Kid's chest, while she took a few steps back and could feel more tears welling up in her eyes.
'His soul is rejecting his body, it's trying to leave it,' Maka realized just before the sleeping Reaper suddenly started violently fitting uncontrollably.
Just as the loud alarms started sounding, notifying all the medical staff that the Reaper's life was in danger, Patty came running into the room with a Doctor following close behind her.
"Maka-chan," Patty called to Maka, while the Doctor looked to the fitting Reaper, before he called for some nurses to help him, and quickly ran to Kid and tried to stop his body from fitting.
Maka looked to Patty with tears streaming down her face. Patty and Maka were made to leave the room by the Doctor as they both stood in the hallway with worried looks on the faces. Patty wrapped her arms around Maka tightly, while the Scythe Meister cried into her shirt.
"What's going on?" Black Star asked as him and Tsubaki had just come back from the café.
"Hey what happened with Kid?" Liz asked as she and Soul came up to Maka and Patty, wondering why the nurses that they had just been talking to, had suddenly been called into the Reaper's room for some reason.
"He had another fit," Patty stated as she looked to her older twin with a saddened expression on her face.
"Another one? Do they even know what's causing them yet?" Black Star asked.
"No, all the nurses said that they still have no idea why he's having these fits," Liz answered as her and Soul just sighed slightly.
"Maka, how did you know that Kid was going to have a fit?" Patty asked as she looked to the crying girl in her arms.
"What Maka knew he was going to start fitting?" Soul asked surprised, while the others all looked to Maka.
"She told me to go and get a Doctor, and when I came back with one, Kiddo had gone into another fit," Patty explained as she looked to Soul now.
"Wow Maka, how were you able to tell that he was going to have another episode?" Black Star asked.
"Well I didn't know he was going to have another fit, I just felt like something terrible was going to happen to him, and when I checked to see if there was something wrong with his soul, I noticed that it was…it was…" Maka paused as she wiped her eyes and sighed slightly.
"It was what?" Soul asked, while the others looked to Maka, waiting for an answer.
"It was rejecting his body, and trying to leave it," Maka finished as she pulled away from Patty's embrace and rubbed her arm nervously, while she avoided looking at the others.
"What? Why is that happening?" Soul asked, looking slightly confused.
"Actually something like this happened every now and again, while we were away in training with Kid," Liz stated as she thought for a minute.
"So this has happened before?" Tsubaki asked.
Liz nodded in reply.
"Then how come you two didn't know why he would have these fits until now?" Soul asked looking to Liz.
"Because he didn't have fits back then, he would just collapse out of nowhere. Lord Death said that because Kid's soul is now permanently drained from Medusa's attack it would weaken and reject his body from time to time," Liz explained.
"I thought Medusa had turned good though," Soul thought out loud.
"And she said that, that attack was just a threat so that Lord Death would be willing to make a deal with her, she told me that Kid would be fine," Maka pointed out as she remembered back to when Medusa was causing trouble for the gang.
"Lord Death said that Medusa had intended to kill Kid with that attack, but apparently her powers were still too weak for her to do the spell properly, so instead Kid's soul was damaged and drained, but Medusa probably didn't know that the spell going wrong would cause long-term damage, and just said that Kid would be fine after a while. She had no real idea that it would cause his soul to reject his body at certain times," Liz explained as she thought back to what Lord Death had told her and Patty when something like this was happening to Kid while they were away in training.
"So how come Lord Death didn't know what was happening this time?" Black Star asked.
"He probably did, he just didn't want to worry us about it I'm guessing," Maka stated as she now was looked back to the others.
"So how did you guys stop Kid's soul from rejecting his body last time?" Soul asked.
"Lord Death just healed him for a week or so and he was fine again," Liz stated.
"So why can't he do that again?" Black Star asked.
"Because this isn't the same as before, Lord Death probably won't be able to heal him this time," Liz assumed as she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Could Kid get better if he tried using his own healing powers on himself?" Maka asked.
"It's worth a try I guess, but Lord Death said that Kid's healing powers aren't all that strong due to the fact that he's half human," Liz replied.
"But how do we get him to heal himself, when he's still unconscious?" Soul asked.
"We may have to ask Lord Death about that," Liz stated, before everyone turned to the sound of the Doctor opening the doors to Kid's room.
The gang all looked to the Doctor, surprised as he seemed to have a very serious look in his eye, "Which one of you goes by the name 'Maka'?" the Doctor asked as he looked to the gang.
"I'm Maka," Maka answered as she started to worry that the Doctor was going to give her bad news.
The Doctor sighed and smiled, as he stood aside so that Maka and the others could see into the room, "He keeps asking where you are," the Doctor stated.
Maka walked into the room with wide eyes, as she looked to the Reaper in surprise. He wasn't fitting anymore, he had been un-hooked from almost all of the machines he was hooked up to a while ago, he was smiling slightly, he was sitting up in his hospital bed, and he was awake.
"Hey," Kid smiled to Maka as he looked to her.
Maka stood there speechless and shocked for a minute, before her eyes filled up with tears, "K-Kid," she ran over to the Reaper and hugged him tightly. Kid chuckled slightly as he wrapped his arms around Maka's waist, and hugged her back.
"Hey Kiddo's awake now," Patty stated happily as she walked into the room and smiled to her Meister.
The others all walked into the room as well, while they all sighed and smiled in relief, as Kid smiled and waved to them all.
"I'm so glad that you're awake Kid," Maka stated as she hugged Kid tighter.
Kid just smiled to Maka as he kissed her on her forehead lightly.
"Listen you need to heal yourself for a while if you want your soul to not keep rejecting your body like that," Maka told Kid as she looked the Reaper in the eye, and wiped her eyes.
"Okay, okay," Kid nodded with a smile to Maka, "Sorry for scaring you Maka," he apologized as he kissed Maka lightly on the lips.
Maka just buried her head into Kid's shoulder as she started to cry again, while Kid just held her close and stroked her hair, then he noticed something.
"Hey Maka, are you…pregnant by any chance?" Kid asked.
"H-how did you know?" Maka asked as she looked up at Kid, surprised and wiped her eyes again.
"I can sense the baby's soul inside you," Kid stated with a smile to Maka.
"I just told you to use your powers to heal yourself not to sense souls," Maka scolded Kid slightly.
"Sorry, it comes naturally to Reapers," Kid apologised nervously with a smile still on his lips, "So am I the Father?" Kid asked.
"Of course you are, you're the only person I've ever slept with,"
"Does that mean we're going to be a family soon?" Kid asked as he rested his forehead against Maka's.
Maka gazed into Kid's shining golden eyes for a minute, "Yes, it does," she replied as she smiled to Kid and hugged him again, while the others all came over and started to happily talk to the Reaper about what had been going on while he had been asleep.
