Outside the tiny house no one knew what was going on, but if you were inside said house you would know differently. Kanatrou tightly gripped Haruka's hand as another wave of pain coursed through his body.
"Damn it, Haruka." He ground out. Haruka let his mind think and think as he tried to remember the ritual. Kanatrou had just tightened his hold on Haruka's hand when he remembered.
"Kanatrou, I have to go gather everything. So can you let go of my hand?" Haruka asked. Kanatrou looked at Haruka as another wave of pain washed through him. After the pain had disappeared he released Haruka's hand. Yoko took Haruka's place beside Kanatrou as he left the room. Kanatrou frowned as he rested his hands on his pulsing belly.
"I hope we can get this over with soon." Kanatrou breathed. Yoko gently patted his hand as she dabbed a cold cloth on his forehead.
"Me too, Kanatrou. Me too." Yoko nervously replied.

Haruka literally rushed around the house as he looked for different objects. In his arms he already had two different colored candles, a box of matches, and a small container of oil. He needed one more piece for this ritual to work and it was somewhere in the house. If only he could remember where it was.
"Yoko! Where are the thin rags at?" Haruka yelled, opening and closing cabinet doors.
"Third drawer away from the sink!" she answered. Haruka instantly grabbed one of the rags and rushed back into the room.
"Thank you, Yoko. But I'm going to have to ask you to leave the room." Haruka explained. Yoko nodded and left.

Once the door was shut, Haruka began laying out the ritual supplies. The two candles on either of Kanatrou's sides, the thin rag draped across Kanatrou's bare stomach, and the oil in Haruka's hand. Haruka placed the oil down and proceeded to light the candles. He closed his eyes as Kanatrou screamed in pain one last time. Carefully, Haruka held the oil over the open flame of the candle. Kanatrou's screaming eventually died down as Haruka to the warm oil and began creating little shapes and symbols on Kanatrou's stomach and forehead before copying the same symbol on his forehead.
"Alright. Kanatrou, are you ready?" Kanatrou took a deep breath as he held onto one of Haruka's hands and nodded. Haruka took a deep breath before raising his hand over Kanatrou's stomach.
"Wind, Fire, Water, Earth. Hear my plea." Haruka spoke. A column of green light created a path way between his hand and Kanatrou's stomach. Kanatrou tried to focus on what Haruka was saying, but the pain was getting to him.

Haruka continued with the ritual; speaking in the goblin native tongue. As he continued to talk in his native language Kanatrou's body arched up toward his palm. By that time Kanatrou had all, but passed out. His forehead was beading with sweat, his hand was breaking circulation in Haruka's hand, and his knuckles were turning white. Haruka continued with the ritual as Kanatrou rose higher and higher. Once Haruka's palm touched Kanatrou's stomach, Kanatrou was literally off the futon. Kanatrou twisted his face with pain one last time before everything became still and silent.

Haruka chanted word after word, but nothing was really changing. He knew that right about now a different more pinkish colored light should be glowing. The light that crawled through the cracks of his fingers was still green in color. What was going on? Why hadn't it changed colors yet? Had he done something wrong? Haruka had just started the last line in the ritual when the light changed colors and shone brighter. He breathed a silent sigh of relief as Kanatrou slowly floated back down to the futon. As his back made contact with the soft material, a small ball of light floated back up. Haruka instantly placed his free hand underneath the floating mass. The light disappeared to reveal a rather reddish-pink baby. Its head was covered with a mop of white hair. Sweetly nestled in with the white were thick strips of black. Tears welled in Haruka's eyes as the tiny baby, no bigger than his forearm, turned its head slightly in his palm.

Haruka pulled his arm closer to his body and had a better hold on his and Kanatrou's baby. He gently nudged Kanatrou with his knee.
"Kanatrou." He whispered. Slowly, Kanatrou rolled onto his side and released his hold on Haruka's hand.
"Yeah?" he rasped. Tenderly, he opened his ruby eyes. Haruka grinned as he lowered the baby for Kanatrou to see. Weakly, he smiled and gently touched his cheek.
"It's a boy, Kanatrou." Haruka beamed. As if he knew his 'mother' was beside him, he opened his eye, revealing the darkest eyes that even rivaled Haruka's. He grinned before closing his eyes.
"He's beautiful, Haruka." Kanatrou whispered, his voice hurting. Haruka nodded as he gently placed him beside Kanatrou. Once the baby was safely on the futon Haruka took his place on the open side and created a make shift crib with their bodies.
"What do you want to name him, Kanatrou?" Quietly, Kanatrou thought.
"How about, Ichirou?"

Haruka nodded and wrapped his arms around Kanatrou's waist. He pulled Kanatrou as close as he could without crushing Ichirou. He silently laughed as Kanatrou fell asleep with the new baby in his arms.
"You really do suck at picking names." Haruka smirked. He laid there watching the two sleep after a long labor. Haruka knew his life was going to change from now on. Maybe he would like it more than he would think.
