...
The next day, Maka and Dixie were healthy enough to be moved out of 'Intensive Care' and back onto the 'Maternity Ward' along with all the other new Mothers.
Kid was able to stay overnight, since he didn't want to leave Maka's side, just in case something happened while he was not around. And so in the morning both he and Maka were awoken to the loud cries of their newborn daughter.
"We'll she's up," Kid stated as he stood up from the armchair that he had slept on last night, and walked over to Dixie's small bed, that was beside Maka's.
"Hey baby girl what are you crying about so early for?" Kid picked his daughter up out of her bed and held her in his arms, while Dixie calmed down a little, happy that her Father had picked her up.
"She's probably hungry Kid," Maka stated as she sat up in her hospital bed, and smiled to her boyfriend.
"Right, of course," Kid smiled nervously as he looked to his girlfriend, before he passed Dixie to her Mother.
Maka just chuckled slightly as she smiled to Kid again, before she held Dixie up to her chest and cuddled her, while Dixie lay silent, now happy that she was in her Mother's caring arms.
"So you slept well, I hope last night?" Kid asked as he smiled back to his girlfriend.
"I guess, but I'll warn you, these hospital beds aren't all that combatable," Maka stated before she loosened her hospital gown (which she had been given to wear last night) and pulled it down just past her chest, in order for her to feed Dixie some much needed breakfast.
"They've gotta be better than an armchair right?" Kid asked as he chuckled slightly, while he went and sat back down in the armchair beside Maka's bed.
"Well I don't know, maybe we can switch tonight?" Maka joked as she just smirked to Kid.
"I don't think the hospital staff would agree with that," Kid replied, before he cupped Maka's cheek and kissed her on her forehead, while she smiled down at their newborn daughter, who was happily drinking her Mother's milk.
Kid smiled at Dixie as he stroked her short, black hair lightly and sighed slightly, before he kissed Maka and left to go and see what kind of breakfast he could get at the hospital café, while he left Maka to finish feeding Dixie, and then have some breakfast for herself.
….
Later soon after visiting hours had started the gang had all heard from Kid that Maka was fine now, and that Dixie had been born late last night, and so they had all decided to come and meet the little newborn, and see how Maka was doing.
"Which bed did the Nurse say she was in again?" Liz asked as she looked to Tsubaki.
"Are we even in the right room?" Soul asked as he looked around the room and saw lots of new Mothers and Fathers, but none of them were Maka or Kid.
Tsubaki smiled when she came to the bed at the far left and saw the exact new parents that the gang were looking for.
"Hey guys, they're over here," Tsubaki called to the others, before she smiled to Kid, who was sitting in the armchair, holding Dixie in his arms, while Maka was laying in the hospital bed beside him, feeling a little sleepy, but smiled to Tsubaki anyway.
"Hey here they are," Black Star announced a little too loudly, as he and the others all walked over to where Tsubaki was.
"Hey guys," Maka greeted the gang as she happily smiled to them all.
"Hey, you tired?" Liz asked with a smile to Maka.
"Like you wouldn't believe," Maka joked as she sighed slightly, while Kid just chuckled slightly when she looked to him.
"Is that Dixie-chan?" Patty asked as she pointed to the newborn in Kid arms.
"Yeah come and see her," Kid replied as he guested for the younger twin to come closer to him, in order for her to see Dixie better.
"Aww she's so cute," Patty stated as she smiled to the little newborn, while Dixie just lay in her Father's arms, looking up at Patty with wondering eyes.
"Hey how come she doesn't have those white lines in her hair?" Black Star asked as he looked to the newborn laying in her Father's arms.
"She'll get them later, all Reaper's have them, even if they are half-human, she'll just get them when she's older. After all I didn't get mine till I was around a year old," Kid explained as he smiled to his daughter, while Dixie looked back up at him, wondering who all these other people were.
"Hi Dixie-chan, I'm your auntie Patty. It's great to finally meet you," Patty stated as she smiled to Dixie and stroked her cheek with one finger.
Dixie just stared at the younger twin with a wondering look, before she grabbed hold of Patty's finger and held it tightly.
"Sis look, look, she holding my finger," Patty called to her older sister happily.
"Aww she's adorable," Liz smiled as she looked to Dixie, as her and Patty started to fuss over the newborn's cuteness.
"You want to hold her?" Kid asked as he smiled to Liz.
"Can I?" Liz asked as she looked to her Meister, with hope-filled eyes.
"Sure," Kid nodded, before he stood up out of the armchair, and handed his daughter to Liz.
Liz's eyes started to fill up with tears as she looked to Dixie's innocent little features, and smiled. Dixie just gazed up at Liz as her big shining golden eyes blinked slowly, while she lay wondering who this person holding her was.
"She looks just like you Maka," Liz stated as she stroked the newborn's short, black hair.
"Kid said the same thing," Maka stated with a smile back to the older twin.
"It's true though, she's the spitting image of you Maka," Kid stated with a smile to his girlfriend.
"Yeah but with your eyes and hair," Maka pointed out with a slight smirk back to her boyfriend.
"So, have you decided what you're going to call her yet?" Liz asked, changing the subject a little.
"Sis, they've already named her Dixie, don't you remember?" Patty asked as she looked to her older sister like she was crazy.
"I meant what's her full name, Patty," Liz stated as she smiled to her younger sister slightly.
"Oh, right," Patty replied nervously.
"We decided to name her after Kid's late Mother, so her name's, Dixie Grace Albarn," Maka explained as she looked to her daughter and smiled for a minute.
"Kid had a Mum?" Black Star asked, a little surprised.
"Of course I did," Kid answered and smirked as the other Meister's reaction made him chuckle a little.
"What happened to her?" Soul asked, now seeming interested in the topic of the Reaper's Mother.
"She was killed by the Kishin not long after I was born," Kid explained.
"Aww I'm sorry mate," Soul said, sounding very sympathetic towards the Reaper now.
"It's alright, it happened a long time ago, there's no point in feeling sorry for me about it now," Kid stated with a gentle smile to Soul.
"I-I wasn't," Soul said as he turned away from Kid slightly.
Kid and Maka just chuckled slightly at Soul showing his rare caring side.
"Hey Soul just think, soon you and Sis will be holding your little baby like this," Patty spoke up as she smiled to the Death Scythe.
Soul looked to Patty for a moment before he smiled slightly, "Yeah that's true," he replied as he nodded to the younger twin, before he looked and smiled to Liz holding Dixie, in-versioning her holding their baby, while everyone else just looked to little Dixie with smiles on their faces.
Just then they all heard a familiar voice come from somewhere,
"No not that one, ah congratulations, do you know where a Miss Maka Albarn is?" Kid's eyes widened as he heard the voice and followed to where it had come from.
Kid gasped slightly as he saw a smartly dressed man that looked exactly like him (expect for the man's glowing green eyes), and immediately recognised the man and spoke.
"Father? What are you doing here, and why are you out of your mask and everything?" Kid asked as he looked to his Dad surprised to see him here.
"Ahh Kiddo, there you are, Death Scythe and I came to see you and Maka," Lord Death stated as he looked to his son with a smile.
"And we also came to meet our little grand-daughter," Spirit added as he showed up behind Lord Death.
"Maka's in that bed, Liz is holding Dixie right now," Kid stated as he pointed to the bed that Maka was laying in.
Spirit went to where Kid had pointed to, and smiled when he saw his daughter laying in her hospital bed, "Hey Maka," he greeted her happily.
"Hi Papa," Maka greeted back happily as she smiled back to her Dad.
"Is this Dixie?" Spirit asked as he looked to the newborn laying in Liz arms (who was standing beside Maka's bed).
"Yeah, do you want to hold her?" Liz asked as she smiled to the Death Scythe.
"Can I, Really?" Spirit asked as he looked to his daughter.
"Of course, she's your grand-daughter after all," Maka replied with a nod.
Liz lay Dixie in Spirits arms, while slight tears started to run down his cheeks, as little Dixie just stared back up at him with those big golden glowing eyes of her's.
"She so small, and she looks so much like her Mother," Spirit stated as he wiped his tears away, while he smiled to the little newborn in his arms.
"Everyone is saying that now," Maka stated as her Dad came closer to her, before he lay a light kiss on her forehead, while Maka just smiled to him happily.
"Can I see little Dixie as well?" Lord Death asked as he and Kid walked over to Maka's bed.
"Wow Kid I didn't know you had a twin," Black Star stated as everyone looked to Lord Death, "Although he looks like he's much older than you," Black Star added as he seemed confused for a minute.
"That's because he's not my twin," Kid stated as he slightly rolled his eyes at Black Star.
"Then who is he?" Soul asked, also seeming confused.
"He's Lord Death silly," Patty stated as she looked to Soul with a smile.
"WHAT? This is Lord Death?" Soul asked, surprised, while Black Star and Tsubaki seemed just as surprised by this.
Lord Death just nodded in reply with a smile to everyone.
"But how? I mean bar the green eyes, he looks just like Kid," Soul asked as he looked to Kid for an explanation of some sort.
"This is my Father, just with his mask, cloak, and everything off," Kid stated.
"Hello everyone, sorry that you didn't recognise me, but I didn't think they would let me see you if I was wearing my mask and everything," lord Death stated as he greeted everyone in his normal cheery voice.
"So this is what you look like under that outfit," Soul questioned.
Lord Death just nodded simply to Soul.
"Wow, you like just like Kid, well bar your eyes," Black Star thought out loud.
"Yes that's what Liz and Patty said when I first showed them what I really look like as well," Lord Death stated with a slight chuckle, before he looked to Spirit and smiled when he saw Dixie laying in his arms.
"You can hold her if you want," Kid stated as he noticed that his Father was looking to Dixie.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly-
"Lord Death, she's your grand-daughter as well don't forget," Spirit stated as he walked over to Lord Death and smiled to him.
Lord Death looked to his son again, before Kid just nodded to him slightly, and Spirit handed Dixie to Lord Death while she was starting to get tired from being passed around like this, and yawned slightly, while she looked up at Lord Death.
"Hello there little Dixie, I'm your grandad," Lord Death stated as he smiled to the newborn.
"And I'm your other grandad," Spirit chimed in, before he stroked Dixie's cheek.
"Alright you've seen her, now what are you really here for?" Kid asked as he looked to his Dad suspiciously.
"You know me all too well Kiddo," Lord Death stated as he handed Dixie to Kid, while Kid held his daughter over his shoulder, as she was slowly falling to sleep.
Kid and everyone else looked to Lord Death, as they all waited for him to answer Kid's question.
"Listen Kid, I can't stay here anymore, I have to go back to the Grim Reaper realm," Lord Death stated.
"What? You're leaving?" Kid asked while he and everyone else (bar Spirit) looked to Lord Death, surprised.
"But wait, I thought Lord Death couldn't leave Death City," Black Star stated, seeming confused.
"I can't because my soul is bound to it, protecting it. But if I unbound my soul from it and leave the city for Kiddo to protect, then I can leave," Lord Death explained as he smiled to Black Star for a minute, before he turned back to his son.
"But Father, I can't protect the city, aren't I too young?" Kid asked as he looked to his Father.
"Listen son, when Liz told Death Scythe and I about Dixie being born I knew it was my time to leave this city in your capable hands. You've got your own family now, and I know you can protect this city and all the people in it," Lord Death stated as he moved closer to his son and rested a hand on his shoulder.
"So what are you saying?" Kid asked as he already knew what his Dad was going to say to him next, while he could feel slight tears welling up in his eyes.
"I was wondering if you could become the new 'Lord Death' and take care of this city for me. Could you do that?" Lord Death asked as he smiled to his son.
Kid hesitated for a minute, as he looked to Maka for a moment. Maka just nodded to Kid with a smile, while Liz and Patty stood beside her smiling to him as well. Kid nodded back to Maka and his weapon's, before he turned back to his Dad, and replied to him with a nod, before he started to cry.
Lord Death just smiled as he moved closer to Kid and hugged him, "Will you come back?" Kid asked, between slight sobs.
"Of course," Lord Death answered as he ruffled his son's hair.
"I'll miss you," Kid stated as he wiped his eyes with his free arm (while he was still holding Dixie with the other).
"I'll miss you too, Kiddo," Lord Death replied.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise," Kid stated as he smiled to his Dad slightly.
"That's alright, besides I don't think you really need to anymore," Lord Death stated before he turned away from his son for a moment.
"Well goodbye than everyone, I'll see you all soon," Lord Death stated, while the other's all waved to him while they say 'goodbye 'to him, "Goodbye Kid," he said as he looked back to Kid again.
"Goodbye, Father," Kid replied with a slight wave as Lord Death turned and began to walk away from Maka's hospital bed.
Everyone watched him go, while he waked slowly and then stopped when he heard Kid call out to him suddenly, "Wait, Father," Kid called to his Dad, as Lord Death stopped in his tracks.
"What is it Kiddo?" Lord Death asked, wondering why Kid had stopped him all of a sudden, as he turned and looked to his son again.
"Do you know what middle name we decided to call Dixie?" Kid asked.
Lord Death just looked to Kid, confused for a minute.
"Her middle name is 'Grace', after Mother," Kid stated with a smile.
Lord Death looked to his son, surprised for a minute, before he nodded slightly, "She would've been so proud of you Kiddo," Lord Death replied with a smile to Kid, before Kid nodded back to him, and turned and carried on walking. He was soon out of the room and was leaving the maternity ward a minute later.
"Kid what promise were you talking about just then?" Maka asked as she seemed a little concerned while she looked to Kid.
"When I was younger I promised my Father, that I wouldn't fall in love with a human, because I knew he didn't want me to go through the same thing he did with my Mother," kid explained as he turned and smiled to Maka.
"Well, don't worry after all I won't be going anywhere, anytime soon," Maka stated with a smile as Kid walked up to her.
"I know," Kid replied as he handed Dixie (who was now sleeping soundly) back to Maka, before he kissed his girlfriend on her forehead lightly.
"Do you really think he'll be back soon Kiddo?" Patty asked as everyone looked to Kid, a little worried for the Reaper.
"Yeah, he'll come back, I know it," Kid replied with a smile to the younger twin, as everyone now smiled back to the Reaper happily
"Wait so if you're the new 'Lord Death' now does that mean that you'll be head of the D.W.M.A now?" Black Star asked.
Kid looked to Black Star for a minute, before he turned to Spirit. Spirit just nodded to him with a smile.
"Yeah I guess it does," Kid replied with a smile as he glanced to Black Star, before he looked back to Maka and kissed her on her cheek lightly, while she just smiled back to him happily.

Wow this one was longer than I first thought it was going to be (and it feels like it was a little rushed), but I'm happy with it anyway. :D
(Sorry if it does seem rushed in parts btw).
