Part 5: Surprise, Surprise!


"Mama… It hurts…" Maka said, almost in tears to her mother that was standing next to her hospital bed.

"I know sweetheart…" Kami replied, giving her daughter's hand a light squeeze. "Hopefully it will be over soon. Meanwhile, let's get a nurse to give you some more medicine." She motioned towards Tsubaki to get a nurse.

Spirit was pouting in the corner of the hospital room. "That stupid boy… How dare he put my daughter through so much pain? And what's worse, he's not even here to see what kind of damage he's done!"

"Oh, be quiet, Spirit! She's perfectly fine. It happens when you start having contractions." Kami said. "And the only reason Soul's not here is because he's on a mission."

"When Maka was born, I got here as soon as the mission was over, and rushed straight through the hospital!" Spirit yelled.

"Spirit, stop yelling." Kami chided. "And you still didn't get there on time. You were too busy flirting with the receptionist and nurses."

Before Spirit could respond, Tsubaki came back with a nurse. She quickly put a shot in Maka's back, and left the room. Maka's breath started to calm down, and she stopped squeezing her mother's hand so tightly.

"Feeling better?"

Maka nodded. "Thanks. By the way, I wanted to ask, where is Sakura?"

"Oh, she's spending the day with Black Star. She loves him so much, and she just feeds into his ego! She's so proud of her daddy. You should hear her around the house!"

"Oh I have. All you hear is, 'My daddy's the great Black Star! He's so amazing!' She's lucky she's so cute. How can you deal with it?"

"I don't mind at all."

A knock came to Maka's door, and Kami opened it to see Liz and Patty at the door.

"Hey you guys." Liz greeted, before walking over to Maka's bedside. "How you holding up?"

"I'm better now after I got my medicine."

"It's weird seeing Maka in the hospital. For the longest time, I thought she was indestructible." Patty said with a laugh.

"It won't be for long. Hopefully they'll pop out soon."

"They…?" Kami asked. "You told me it was a bouncy baby boy."

"You told me it was an adorable little girl!" Spirit cried.

"Well, you're both right."

"Twins!" Liz and Patty cried together.

"And you didn't tell anyone?"

"It was going to be a surprise." Maka laughed.

"That would explain why you got two of everything that was essential…"

"How marvelous!" A voice rang out. "And symmetrical! Two babies!"

"Kid's here… Maka you have no idea how much you've just helped his OCD…"

"IT's not like this was on purpose…"

"Whatever." Liz said. "Only thing I have a problem with is the buying of more diapers. Those are expensive."

Maka's phone start to ring at that point. Kami answered it for her, and after a chain of "uh-huh"s and "okay's" she hung up.

"I have good news and bad news, darling." Kami said. "Which one do you want first?"

"Bad."

"Mom and Pop Evans can't come. They were all packed and ready to go, but unfortunately something came up. But they will be here by the end of the week."

"Okay."

"Good news. Wes and Diana are on their way here as we speak. They should be here in half an hour."

"Great. Now I'm going to try to take a nap if you don't mind."

"Papa will be right here when you wake up, baby!" Spirit cried. Maka rolled her eyes.

"No he won't. He's coming with Mama to the cafeteria to get something to eat."

"B-but-!"

"Come on. Time to go." Kami dragged Spirit out of the room. When he was hysterical he was weak enough to be dragged anywhere.

When everyone was out of the room, Maka grabbed her phone off the stand by her bed and dialed a number. It picked up after two rings.

"Where the HELL are you?"

"Still in Italy. Where are you?" A voice responded.

"The same place I've been for the last TEN hours! In the hospital having YOUR children!" Maka replied.

"I'm sorry," Soul started, "but the mission ran long. We're almost done, though, and I'll leave right after okay?"

"… You promise?"

"I promise, and that means I'll be there because-"

"It's not cool to break a promise." Maka said with a smile. "I know."

"Okay." Soul said. She heard someone in the background say something and then heard Soul respond with 'cool'.

"What's going on?" Maka asked.

"We just finished. So I'm on my way home right now, okay?"

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Soul smirked. "But I have to hang up now, and I'll be there as soon as possible."

"You better." Maka said before hanging up. She sighed tiredly. Now it was naptime.

Maka woke up to her mother, Tsubaki, and Diana in the room. And she also felt a really sharp pain in her lower area. She hissed in pain when she tried to move.

"What's wrong honey?"

"Lots of pressure… Lots of pain…" Maka struggled. Kami looked at Diana and motioned for her to get a doctor. It was a quick trip out and she came back with a doctor and a nurse. They quickly checked and gave her one more shot of epidural.

"Well Mrs. Evans. It looks like you're about nine centimeters dilated. It shouldn't be long now. Just call when you feel more pressure. I won't be far."

Maka nodded nervously and watched the doctor leave.

"It's almost time!" Diana said. "In a little while, you're going to be a mommy."

"Are you ready?"

"I'd be more ready if my stupid husband would get his butt here…"

"Who are you calling stupid?"

Maka turned her head to the door and found her husband walking through it. She gave a relieved sigh as he walked over to her and kissed her on the top of her head.

"It took you long enough."

"Quiet. I drove straight here. All of my things are still in the car."

"Well, you came right on time." Kami said with a smile. "She's already nine centimeters dilated. So she's gonna pop at any moment."

"She's already that far along?" Soul asked nervously.

"Don't be so nervous. They'll be beautiful and healthy."

"I hate to interrupt…" Maka started. "but could someone call the doctor?"

"Why?" Soul asked slowly.

"Because, dear. I think I'm about to have your children."

"Oh crap!" Soul cried. Tsubaki rushed out of the room and found the doctor. She verified that Maka was ready and pushed everyone out but Soul and Kami, gave the two of them scrubs to put on quickly.

"I can't believe this is happening…"

"I know! Soon you'll be a daddy to two beautiful children."

"I-I know…"

Kami laughed. "Don't sound so nervous. You'll be a terrific dad."

"Okay, Daddy," the doctor started, "you wanna come over and hold mommy's hand?"

"Okay…" Soul said, going up to the head of the bed and taking Maka's hand.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah… As ready as I'll ever be…"

"Okay, Mrs. Evans. Push!"

Black Star had arrived with his daughter, and was in the waiting room with the rest of the group.

"Man, when is this baby gonna get here? I'm tired o' waiting…" Black Star complained. Tsubaki stroked her daughter's hair, who was sleeping in her lap.

"Don't be so impatient." Tsubaki said. "She's having twins."

"Since when!"

"Shut up and sit down." Liz said. "They kept it a secret from us. They wanted to make it a surprise."

Spirit tried to sneak away while they were talking to Maka's room. It was his paternal duty to make sure his child, and grandchildren were healthy.

"Mr. Albarn."

Spirit stopped in his tracks.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm just… you know… going to check on Maka and the babies…"

"Get back over here." Kid replied.

"B-but!"

"Or do you want Maka and Kami to be mad?"

Spirit sulked back over to his seat beside Kid, but not even five minutes later, Soul was making his way out to the group.

"He's here!" Patty cried with excitement.

"So…?"

"Christopher Anthony, and Gabriella Elaine, both healthy." Soul replied with a smile.

"Oh, how cute! When can we see them?"

"You can come in pairs to see them. That's what the doctor said." Soul replied. Liz and Patty jumped up, but was pushed back down by Spirit.

"I GO FIRST! I'M THE GRAND-DADDY!" Spirit said, rushing into the room.

"Hey, Soul, what happened to your hand?" Wes asked.

Soul turned around and for the first time everyone noticed his incredibly bruised hand. He sighed.

"All I'll say is, Maka have a very strong grip."

Soul returned back to his wife and children. Maka was trying to sleep, but Spirit was keeping her up, fussing over her and the babies.

"Papa, can you please be more quiet…?"

"But I'm a granddaddy now! I can't just contain my excitement!"

"If you don't lower the volume, you're going to get yourself kicked out." Soul said.

"You can't tell me what to do! I'm technically your father!"

"Sir." A nurse said. "Please settle down or we might have to ask you to leave."

"Ah, sorry…"

"Told ya." Soul said, earning him a dirty look from Spirit.

After everyone came in and visited the babies, Maka and Soul sat in their room, each of them holding a child.

"You ever think this would happen?" Soul asked.

"No. By the way, how's your hand?"

"Doesn't even sting anymore." Soul laughed. He looked down at his daughter, then at his son.

"They're beautiful… I can't believe it… I'm a dad…"

Maka looked up at Soul and smiled. "You're going to be a great daddy. I promise."

Soul smiled and kissed the crown of her head. "And you'll be a good mom."

Maka looked at her babies again. This would be a mission in and of itself. But they could handle it.
