I own nothing!
Mai p.o.v.
I feel like I'm going to fall over on to my face if these babies get any bigger. I tell Ayako on my eight month check up. Well your three centimeters dilated, and the babies our at lest six pounds a piece. I think we should schedule you for a c section. Ayako says to Koujo and I.
Koujo asks Ayako "Why?" It's just to be safe. Ayako told him. Please lets schedule the c section. I can't take much more I think one of them kicked me in the heart yesterday. I tell the both of them.
Koujo looks at me absolutely shocked. Is that why you went back up stairs yesterday after noon and laid down? He ask me. Yes babe. That and the other was kicking my kidney around like a soccer ball. I tell him.
Mai you need to tell me when they do things like that. Koujo tells me. Fine I'll tell you from now on. I tell him. Well is there a date you were hoping for? Ayako ask us. The twenty second sounds good to me. Koujo tells Ayako. Oh no their not going to wait that long. Ayako stated. How about the tenth? I ask Ayako.
We will see on your next checkup. If you dilate anymore then I'll make it for the fifth. But for now we'll say the tenth. Ayako tells me. I node my approval. Mai you can only work half days or you'll be lucky to make it till the first. Ayako tells us. We node.
Okay are you sure you don't want to know the sex of the babies? Ayako asked for the hundredth time. No we still want to be surprised. Koujo tells her. Okay well then were gone for this appointment. I want to see you next week. Okay I'll make it with the desk up front. I tell her. Bye guys see you later. She tells us as she leaves the room.
Koujo helps me down from the table and I put back on my pants and shoes. We head out to the suv and Koujo drives us back to the office.
Koujo's p.o.v.
I'm glad that Mai and the children are doing fine. We walk into the office. My mother is at the door in three secants. Well what did Ayako say? My mother asks us.
Ayako scheduled Mai for a c section on the tenth of June. I stopped for a breath then I start to tell her why but she blurts out... What?! Why?! Wen looks at Mai. Is something wrong? I told you. You should get more rest. I just knew you worked to hard. She stated to Mai.
Mai growled savagely at my mother. Then went into Noll's office and slammed the door closed.
Mother there is nothing wrong with the babies. Ayako just wants to do what is best for the babies! Their already six pounds apices and Mai is three centimeters dilated! So thank you very much mother for upsetting my wife for nothing! I really wish you would shut your mouth and let us tell you what is going on instead of assuming things! I yell at her. While I hear Noll trying to sooth Mai's crying.
I go into Noll's office to calm down Mai but the moment she takes one look at me she starts crying harder. Yasu grabs Mai's hand and pushes past me with Mai. They head straight for the elevators. I try to intervene but Yasu shut the doors on me.
I turn to my mother. Now my wife won't talk to me! Thanks to your damn mouth! I yell at her making her cry. I see Noll motioning me to come into his office.
Noll's p.o.v.
Koujo I have a message from your wife. I tell him in my steely voice. She said to tell you.
It's her and the kids or your mother. She can not take your mother's verbal abuse anymore. Wen is judging Mai and Mai's had it. She wants Wen out of your apartment or Mai is going to move out herself and I told her she should file for divorce. If you don't kick Wen out with in a week.
Koujo she can't take your mother being up her ass everyday all day. Wen has been nit picking on Mai since day two. Koujo runs out of my office and up the stairs to their apartment no doubt.
Koujo's p.o.v.
"No she can't leave! I don't know what I'll do with out her." I think to myself.
I get through the door in time to see Mai packing a bag and talking to Yasu.
Mai please talk to me. I plead to her as I come up behind her. I don't want you to leave this is your home. I'm sorry if my mother's being over bearing on you. I'll kick her out now. If it is what you want. I plead to her as I take her into my arms and hold her to my chest as tears fall down my face. She turns to me.
I'm sorry. I just can't take her anymore. She says wiping my tears away. The things she says are down right cruel to me. I already quit doing half of my job at the office and she still isn't satisfied. I love you and I ...I just can't anymore. She tells me while she tried to turn in my embrace.
I'll kick her out now. If you will stay? I tell her looking deep into her eyes. I don't want to leave. I just need her to stop. She states. Go lay down the babies are all wound up. I'll go tell my mother that She needs to pack her things and go to a hotel tell she finds a place. She nodes and walks to the bedroom.
I turn to Yasu. How long has she be talking about leaving? I ask him.
Since after your mother scolded her for taking to hot of a shower a week ago. Yasu tells me.
Why didn't she tell me about this? I ask him. Mai thinks your mother just wants to start fights between the two of you. So she just didn't say anything to you. I think she was afraid you would listen to Wen and not her. Like the time with Max. Yasu tells me. Then places a hand on my shoulder. Just show Mai your loyalties lye with her and she'll be fine. I node my thanks to him and we head back down stairs to the main offices.
I look at my mother. In my office now! I tell her. As I walk to my office and sit behind my desk. She enters a few secants after me.
Are the spell books transferred? I ask her. Yes son. But I have a feeling you have more to tell me. She said taking a seat on one of the chairs in front of my desk.
Your right I do. Are you trying to ruin my marriage? I ask her. No. I just want Mai to take care of herself. She tells me.
If that's true then why are you always causing fights and upsetting her? I ask. Because I know she pushes herself to far. Mother you yelled at her about a shower being to hot. I tell her with my annoyed face. She shrugged. It was to hot. She stated.
Mother I have taken you to see several apartments in the area that where nice. Why did you not chose one? I ask her as I rub my temples.
Because Mai will need help with the babies. So why bother getting a place. She stated. Mother Mai has Sebastian or Claude if she needs help with the children. You need your own place.
You both place why to much faith in those demons! I'm their grandmother and I can do everything they can! She hollered at me.
Mother I hate to tell you this but... Mai and I think its time you move into your own place. I tell her. What?! Your kicking me out!? She shouts at me. Yes mother. Be glad Noll didn't suspend you for the way you treated Mai earlier. She is a sister to him and he can't stand the way you treat Mai and neither can I. I already showed you this fully furnished apartment. Hear is their number. Call and take it. I'll drive you there once your packed up.
I can't believe your treating me like this. She scowled as she walked out of my office and over to the desk. She called the landlady and took the apartment. Then we went up stairs.
She pack her things and I checked on my wife. Seeing her trying to sleep with her belly waying her down. I took my pillow and lifted her belly and slide the pillow under her belly and as I did I feel one of the babies push on my hand. I can't help but smile. Hello little one. Now take a nap now for mommy. I tell him/her and then I call to Sebastian.
Sebastian can you please watch over Mai while I handle some problems? I ask him. He smile at me. That is not a problem. Claude and I will bring Kiya up here and make lunch for you to eat when you return. Sebastian I think my mother will be staying away for awhile. I was hoping you and Claude wouldn't mind helping Mai while I'm at the office. I ask him. Claude appeared hold a sleeping Kiya in his arms. Of course we will help Mistress Mai. One of us will make the meals and clean the house and the other will care for Kiya and help Mai. He stated to me. Thank you both. They node to me and we head out of the bedroom to let Mai sleep.
Are you ready? I ask my mother. Yes. I' am but I still don't like it. She said sending me a glare. Mother you need to give Mai and I some space and stop nit picking Mai to death. Then maybe Mai will let you help her when the babies are born. I say to her trying to get her to see my point of view. As we head down to the main floor.
Mother let me tell Noll that I'm going to take you to your new place. I'll be right back. I tell her then walk over to Noll office and knock on the door.
Enter.
I open the door and just poke my head in. I'm going to take Wen to her new place. I'll be back shortly. I tell Noll. As long as you put some distance between Mai and her I'm fine with whatever you need to do. Noll states. I node then close the door. Alright lets get you settled in. I tell my mother while I open the door for her.
Wen's p.o.v.
After Koujo went and got me some groceries he went back to the office. As soon as he pulled out of the drive I smiled and said to myself.
"Well my plan worked. My son has official proven to me that his going to be a better father then his way. I'm so proud of him. But now I'll have to find away to make up with Mai... Shit."
Mai's p.o.v.
I start to wake when I hear two men talking in hush tones out side the bedroom door. I roll over and let me feet hag off the bed and slide on my slippers. The door opens and their stands my husband with a bottle of sparkling cider in his hand a smile on his face.
Well what are we celebrating? I ask Koujo. The return of our home. He tells me then pops the cork on the cider. I take a glass then give him a kiss that made him lose his balance a little. We pull apart and I look up into his eyes. I can see a little bit of hurt in them. But a lot of love.
Thank you Koujo. I say sitting back down on the bed. For what love? He asks me taking a sip of his own cider. For making your mother leave and for sticking by me. I thought you would choose her over me. I tell him. He took the glass out of my hand and sat it on the night stand with his.
My place and my loyalty is to you and our children. I would never pick anyone over our family Mai. He told me then placed his hand on my stomach. To let the children know he was there.
I love you Koujo. I tell him as I make him lay down with me. We snuggle while my stomach moves with every push and kick.
I'm sorry. I riled them all up. He said with an apologetic smile on his face. It's fine. They love their dad that's all. I tell him while I run my fingers through his hair so I can see his hole face. Koujo what color was your right eye before your powers surfaced? I ask him. It was blue. Why? ? He asked looking up at me.
I was just curious. I wonder what color they'll have? I said placing my hand on the other side of my belly. We'll just have to wait and see. He tells me with his smile that's only for me.
