A/N: Time Skip!
Soul woke up early to see Maka still asleep next to him. He smiled and gently kissed her as her enlarged stomach. "Just a couple of weeks left." He whispered to himself.
She stirred as she felt his fluttering kisses on her stomach. "G'morning Soul," she whispered.
"Morning Maka." He kissed her again.
"Did you sleep well?" she asked, yawning.
He smiled and nodded as he yawned as well. "Yes and you?"
"Pretty good," she smiled before placing her hands on her stomach, rubbing it soothingly to placate peanut.
He smiled. "You know we still haven't thought of a name for her yet."
"So you finally agree that she's a girl," she joked, sticking her tongue out playfully at him.
"Well we'll find out in a month."
She just rolled her eyes in a teasing manner, lying in his arms.
He kissed her gently. "So what do you want for breakfast?"
"Anything sounds good right now," she smiled, stomach grumbling.
He nodded. "I'll make a big breakfast then" he kissed her gently before he went down and made bacon, eggs, sausages, and pancakes.
The smells filled the house and she moaned happily as she rolled out of bed, heading to the kitchen.
When she got there the table was already set with the food on it.
She drooled from the plethora of food splayed out before her. "Thank you Soul!" she squealed.
He chuckled and began to eat with her.
She munched happily on the food, loving the taste of his cooking.
Soul laughed a bit as he watched her. "Slow down a bit."
"But it's so good!" she cried.
He chuckled. "I'm happy that you enjoy it but slow down before you choke."
She pouted but slowed way down. Choking would not be a good way to start out the morning, even if the food was damn good.
He smiled a bit and continued to eat.
She finished her food and took her plate to the sink. "Thanks honey," she smiled, kissing his cheek.
He blushed a bit and smiled as he began to wash the dishes. "No problem."
She hobbled over to the couch, plopping down and rubbing her stomach. She felt a light pain in her lower back but brushed it off.
He smiled and kissed her stomach when he was done.
"What do you want to do today?" she asked, leaning against him again and ignoring the pain.
"Hmmm I don't know. Cuddling would be nice."
"Can we watch a movie? I've wanted to see Perks of Being a Wallflower for a while now," she asked with pleading eyes.
"Sure. That's in the movie theater right?"
She giggled. "No silly. I bought it last month but when I went to ask you if we could watch it, you jumped me."
"Oh… Well then. Ummm well let's watch it then. Where is it?"
"It's in the movie cabinet," she said as she sauntered to the kitchen for snacks.
He nodded and got the movie and began to play it, waiting on the couch for her to come back.
She came into the living room with a bowl of popcorn and two sodas. "I've heard that this is a really good movie," she smiled as she snuggled next to him, grimacing slightly from a sharp pain.
He smiled and fed her some popcorn. "I hope you're right."
She munched happily and turned her attention to the opening credits. As the movie kept playing, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
He looked at her curiously during the movie. "You okay Maka?"
"Yeah, peanut is just moving around a lot," she groaned, pausing the movie to stand up and move to use the restroom.
He nodded but watched her worriedly.
She was halfway to the restroom when she felt a wetness on her leg followed by another sharp pain that made her double over. "What is going on?" she muttered.
He looked back at her and ran to her side. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah," she gasped as another pain shot through her and she leaned into him.
"Ummm is the baby due today or something?"
"I-I didn't think so," she groaned as he tried to help her up.
"Well we better get you to the hospital because this is not normal." He began to help her to the car.
She nodded weakly as she settled into the car. The trip was fairly quick, mostly because Soul sped the whole way.
Soul quickly got a room for her and the doctors immediately knew that she was in labor, something that they didn't, and went straight to work, helping her give birth.
"Get that needle away from me," she growled as they tried to give her an epidural. "What is going on?" She wanted answers damnit! She wanted to make sure Peanut was alright. And judging by the horrified look on Soul's face, he felt the same way.
The doctor in front of her just held his hands up to show that he meant no harm. "Ma'am you're going into labor and we need you to calm down."
She felt the color drain from her face. "Peanut is coming? Now?" she whispered. While she had been looking forward to having their child, she was still scared senseless from the thought of being a mother.
"Yes your child is coming now. Now if you would please put this on…" The nurse handed her a robe. "And spread your legs and push."
She was panicking but obeyed the doctor's orders. She gripped Soul's hand tight as a contraction went through her, causing her to cry out in pain.
Soul squeezed her hand tightly as he watched her.
"On the count of three push. One. Two. Three," the nurse said and Maka pushed hard, screaming as she squeezed his hand to the point that they both heard small cracking noises coming from it.
Soul groaned as she cracked the bones in his hand but he just waved it off, knowing that Maka was probably suffering more pain than him.
"Good! You're doing great Mrs. Evans. Now prepare to push again." Maka pushed hard, quickly becoming exhausted from the effort.
"Soul… you're never touching me again," she threatened, glaring at him.
Soul went white with fear as he slowly nodded.
"You're doing really good Mrs. Evans. You're getting close. Now push again." She nodded and complied. "Good good! The baby is crowning. Dad would you like to see?"
"Sure." He left Maka's side, cradling his now broken hand and looked at what they were showing him.
"Right there, that's your baby's head," one nurse pointed out the small scalp.
He smiled a bit as the doctors told Maka to push again.
She pushed and the baby was almost there. "Now Mrs. Evans, give us one last push… Give it all you've got!" the doctor encouraged. She screamed as she put her all into this last push, gripping the mattress harshly. Before she knew it, a cry was heard.
Soul couldn't help but chuckled when he saw the baby girl as the doctors took her away to clean the baby and give her her shots.
Maka leaned against the pillows and panted, looking over to Soul with a sheepish grin. "S-sorry about your hand," she whispered.
"That's okay. I'll just get the doctors to look at it."
"I didn't mean what I said, by the way," she admitted bashfully. "Anyways, was it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a girl," he smiled at her.
She had a wide grin on her face, leaning up to kiss him softly. "What should we name her?"
"Hmm I don't know…."
Before Maka could respond, the nurses came in with their baby wrapped up in a little pink blanket. "Congratulations! It's a girl!" they chirped and the couple just smiled as they handed the baby off to Maka. Tears came to her eyes as she stared down at the face of their child.
"Anabell," she whispered as she caressed the girl's face.
Soul smiled as well as he looked at their new child. "Anabell… I like that name."
"Should her middle name be Kami after my mother?" she asked without looking at him. She couldn't take her eyes off her baby. She was what they created out of their love for one another and she was in awe.
"Sure, that'll be nice." He kissed Maka's cheek gently.
"Our little Anabell Kami," she cooed. "I can't believe that she's actually here, can you?" she asked, looking at him.
He smiled. "I can sorta believe it." He joked and chuckled a bit.
"Smartass," she smirked. "Would you like to hold her?" she asked.
He shook his head and gestured to his broken hand. "I'll drop her if I do."
"Oh okay," she frowned, sad that she had hurt him to the point that he couldn't even hold their baby.
He kissed her gently. "Don't be like that Maka. It's a happy moment and you shouldn't be sad over my broken hand."
"You're right," she smiled.
"So have you guys decided on a name?" a nurse asked as she came in, birth certificate in hand.
"Yes, her name is Anabell."
"What a pretty name," she nurse sighed as she filled out the certificate. "Mrs. Evans, you and Anabell will be released in two days."
Soul got up and cradled his broken hand. "Hey ummm is there a doctor that can look at this?" he gestured to his hand.
"I can check it out for you dear," the nurse said, examining the hand. "I will have to do some x-rays but it looks like your first two knuckles are broken."
He nodded as the nurse led him out of the room to get his hand x-rayed. "I'll be back soon Maka."
"Alright," she smiled, looking down at Anabell, who began to cry. "Shh Anabell it's okay, no need to cry love," she whispered but she continued to cry. "What's wrong baby?" she asked, panicking.
"She's hungry," the nurse smiled.
"O-Oh," she blushed before positioning herself so she could feed her. Anabell latched on, drinking happily.
Soul soon came back with his hand bandaged up and smiled at Maka when he saw her feeding Anabell.
She smiled back at him as the nurses left. "She certainly has quite the appetite."
He chuckled a bit. "Seems like you'll be doing this a lot."
"Yeah," she laughed. "Means you'll need to learn to share," she joked.
He chuckled a bit. "I guess so."
Anabell finish feeding and Maka burped her. She had a silly little grin on her face before her eyes closed sleepily. "She's so adorable," Maka whispered, rocking her to sleep.
He smiled and nodded in agreement.
"We did it Soul, we started a family," she smiled, leaning up to kiss him.
He smiled and kissed back. "Yea we did."
Her head fell back on the pillow in exhaustion as she cuddled Anabell closer to her. "I love you Soul. And you too Anabell," she whispered, kissing her head.
"I love you too Maka." He kissed her gently.
She knew that her friends were going to be so excited to see Anabell and to congratulate them on the arrival of their baby, but she was content on spending this time by her husband, rejoicing in the fact that they finally had done it. She fell in love, got married, and had a baby with the man who had been beside her through everything and she couldn't be any happier where she was at now.
