Soul Eater

Well, it was a very long day for the Soul Eater fans. I still can't believe that it's actually over. It wasn't what I was expecting at all and it really hurt a lot more than I thought. I was so ready for Monday. I wasn't ready for such a big blow today. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

Leaving that aside, I decided to make a squeal for Untouchable. I know. I know. Like Untouchable wasn't long enough already and I'm just going to make it longer with this sequel. Don't get me wrong. I'm actually very excited about this and I wonder how far this is going to go. So, yeah. We'll have to see where this goes. I'm trying to make it so that people who haven't read Untouchable can understand this story, but I don't know if can.

Anyways, thanks for checking this story out! If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to tell me! I'll be more than happy to consider them since I have no idea how long this is going to be. So, please excuse my grammatical errors and I hope this chapter/story meets your expectations!

Unforgettable

Chapter 1 - Heartbeat

Falling asleep in the couch, Soul could feel the horrid heat squirming inside the house. Even though the air conditioner was on, he still felt annoyed and uncomfortable. Summer was at it's peak and yet, he was busy moving and packing. He had already stashed half of his stuff in boxes, but there were was still a lot more to go and he was barely getting started. With a long sigh, Soul leaned his head back on the cushion, closing his eyes for a couple of seconds. They were finally moving out of that house to the one his father had left for him.

Soul suddenly jerked up when he heard the door opening loudly. He turned back to see Maka coming in with books and papers almost slipping out of her hands. He quickly stood up, pushing his laziness aside, to help her close the door. She smiled at him before she placed her books over the table. She wiped off some sweat from her forehead, looking at him a bit nervously. "Finally. I'm home. It's so hot outside. Death City has always had pretty intense summers and this year is no exception."

"It's your fault for taking summer classes." Soul told her with a smirk as Maka pouted slyly. She ignored his comment before she started looking around through her papers. It seemed to him that she was looking for something. "If you hadn't taken those classes, we could have gone somewhere for the summer. Just you and me. Alone."

"Soul, you know I'm busy with college." She told him without bothering to look at him. She was still rummaging through her papers, desperately looking for something. Then, a small smile appeared in her face when she picked up an envelope that was stuck in between one of her books. She turned to look at Soul and he could tell that something was definitely up. "Things are about to get a bit more difficult for the both of us. I hope you don't mind."

She showed him the envelope in her hand, but Soul didn't see anything special about it. He looked at it with awe before he watched Maka slowly opening it for him. With a deep breath, Maka grabbed his hands and placed a folded paper on top. She gave him a small smile and he could see her blushing a faint shade of pink. He wondered what was going on since he could practically feel her small soft hands quivering.

"Soul," she began with shaky voice. Letting go of his hands, Maka turned around with embarrassment written all over her face. Soul stared at her strangely before he looked down at the paper that was in his hands. He didn't have to open it to know that it was from a clinic. Soul gulped, wondering what it could be. Feeling a his heart pounding loudly, Soul nervously looked at Maka. Could it be that she...? "Soul," Maka whispered, without bothering to look back at him. "I'm, well, I'm pregnant."

He became speechless as he looked at the paper in his hand once again. He slowly began to open it and sure enough, it was a letter from the clinic that confirmed her pregnancy. This time it was real. It wasn't just a hunch. Maka was really pregnant and he was really going to be a dad. Soul dropped the letter on the floor before he turned Maka around. He stared into her beautiful green eyes, hoping she would repeat her sentence one more time. "You're what? You're really expecting this time? It's for real?"

Maka nodded, looking away as a small smile appeared in her face. She placed her hand over her belly, but Soul wasn't sure how to react. So, he stared at her, waiting for her to say something else. The excitement and the happiness that was accumulating inside his chest was getting ready to explode. Maka was really expecting. She was really having a baby. A baby that they would be able to call theirs. Soul lifted her face with his hands, caressing her cheeks softly. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe what she had just told him.

"It's true, Soul. I've had my suspicions for a while now, but I didn't want to tell you anything. I didn't want to confront you until I had proof." She began, with tears swelling inside her eyes. Soul knew that they weren't tears of sadness, but rather tears built from happiness. "But, it's for real, Soul. We're going to be parents. We're finally going to be parents."

She was crying by that point and Soul couldn't help but give her a tight embrace. He squeezed tightly since he was also unable to control his own emotions. He was finally going to be a dad. He had dreamed of that moment for so long and now that it was finally there, he felt like he could cry right along with her. Soul placed his head over hers as he stroked her long beautiful hair. They were finally going to be parents. "Maka," He whispered in her ear before they slowly parted from one another. "You have no idea how happy I am right now."

With a smile, he briefly lifted her up in the air before he kissed her on the lips passionately. He was so happy and he wanted to scream to the whole world that he was going to be a dad. After everything he and Maka had been through, they were both finally being blessed with a child. Soul lengthen their kiss, making it deeper and exploring around Maka's mouth roughly. He just couldn't believe it. The joy of knowing he was going to be a dad was overwhelming and powerful.

Maka pushed him back a little with a smile. She placed her hands over his face before she pushed back some of his hair. "In eight months, we'll be parents. We'll have our very first baby in our arms."

"You're just too amazing, Maka." He told her, leaning his forehead against hers. His smile wouldn't erase from his face anymore and he couldn't even feel the summer heat. "This is the best thing that's ever happened to us. I can't believe it. We're going to be parents. I'm going to be a dad." He let that last word linger in his mouth for a bit longer. "I love you, Maka. You're the best wife anyone could ever ask for."

"You're pretty good at handling surprises, aren't you?." Maka told him with a small laugh as Soul placed his hand over her belly. Soon, in a couple of months, her pregnancy would start to show and he honestly couldn't wait to show her off to the world.

"Ever since I met you," Soul began, grazing his lips over hers. "My life has been filled with nothing but surprises."

"Daddy?"

Soul slowly opened his eyes to find the room suddenly light up with a flash of lightening. It was still raining pretty hard outside and it looked like it would stay that way for a couple of hours more. The wind rustled the tree branches roughly, making them hit against the window. Soul was about to reach out to grab the blanket when he heard the same soft voice. "Daddy?"

So he hadn't imagined it? Soul rubbed his eyes before he slowly sat up from the bed. He looked around the dark room before he spotted a small little figure standing by the doorway. Soul smiled at her as he tried to shake away some of his sleep. He turned to look at the clock that was standing on top of the night table and he was relieved to see that it was barely 3 am. That meant he still had a couple of more hours of sleep to go.

Before Soul got up from the bed, he turned to look at Maka who was fast asleep. A smile escaped from his lips as he pulled the blanket over her shoulders. She stirred a bit when a distant sound of thunder was heard. Soul bent down to give her a kiss in the forehead before he stood up. Once again, and probably for the millionth time, he had been dreaming about her.

He stretched his hands in the air and turned to look at Sophie, who was still standing there with a frightened look on her face. He couldn't help but wonder what was wrong this time. It had already been the second time that week that she had woken him up in the middle of the night. Soul walked toward her as another ray of lightning flashed across the room. Soul leaned down a bit to look at his daughter and it was only until then that he noticed her tear streaked face. "What's wrong, Soph? You okay?"

She shook her head violently, hugging the bear tightly in her hands. She gripped onto his shirt before she looked back at the dark hallway. "Daddy, I'm scared." She told him quietly. "The thunder is so loud and I keep hearing scary noises. I think there's a ghost inside my room.""

"What? Why do you say that?" He asked with a smile before he carried her in her arms. She was about to be six and yet, she was still so small and so innocent. "What makes you think that, Soph?"

"Max told me." She told him in the ear as another sound of thunder was heard. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck while he stepped out the room. He quietly shut the door, hoping he hadn't woken up Maka. It had been a pretty long day for both them, but he'd rather let her sleep peacefully. "He said that ghosts come out at night and that they're always looking for someone to scare. He said that there was one living inside my room and that it was going to eat me."

"You shouldn't believe everything your brother says, Soph." He said to her as he headed toward her bedroom. However, his words didn't reassure her in the least. She kept holding onto him tightly, squishing his face with her stuffed bear. "He just likes to say that to scare you. I can assure you that your room if perfectly safe."

"Are you sure?" She asked with disbelief, looking at him worriedly. Soul nodded his head and when they finally made it to her bedroom, he carefully placed her down on the floor. He opened the door slowly to find her room dark with only the lightning visible. Soul stepped aside so she could walk in first, but she didn't budge. She stood behind him, gripping tightly on his sweatpants. "Daddy, can you go in first? What if the ghost is really in there?"

Soul let out a sigh as he stepped in like she had asked him to. He pretended to look around the room, so she could see it was safe. He was definitely going to have a long talk with Max. He was the one that was always scaring her with things like ghosts and monsters. One time, he told her that a watermelon was going to start growing inside her stomach after she had swallowed a watermelon seed. It almost took him an hour to get her to stop crying. "See, Soph." He told her, standing in the middle of the room and looking out at her. "There's nothing here. Your room is perfectly fine."

With that being said, Sophie took a small step inside the room before she looked around worryingly. Then, she quickly ran toward him and cowered behind him in fear. "Are you sure? Are you positive that the ghost isn't here? Max told me that he lived here and it was going to come out to eat me. He even showed me a picture of it."

"I'm sure he was just trying to scare you." Soul told her again, picking her up from the floor. He slowly carried her to her bed and placed her on top of it. She quickly snuggled up with the rest of her stuffed animals before he covered her with the blanket. Soul sat on the edge of her bed, his hand reaching out to pat her hair. There was no way she was about to fall asleep on her own. "Your brother won't scare you anymore. I'll make sure to have a talk with him, okay? Now, try to get some sleep. You have school tomorrow and you need to wake up early."

"Okay, Daddy." She told him as she pulled the blanket toward her chin. She let out a small yawn, but she was completely startled when a loud sound a thunder roared through out her room. She shrieked, covering her head underneath the blanket. "It's so scary. Why is it so loud?"

"You shouldn't be scared, Soph." He whispered, leaning toward her a bit. She peeked her head from under the blankets and Soul managed to give her a small smile. "I'm right here with you. Nothing is going to happen to you. I won't leave. I'll stay right here with you until you fall asleep."

"Okay." She told him again as she grabbed her teddy bear. She laid her bear right next to her and even covered it with her blankets. Once she was comfortable, she turned to look at him. "Daddy, I like the way you play the piano today. It was really pretty. I want to hear you again. When are you going to play like that again? Mama really like it too, but I don't know why she was crying."

An image of Maka appeared in his head and he couldn't help but smile. It was a such a joy that she and the kids had actually seen him perform on stage. The happiness of seeing them and his friends had been overwhelming and he hoped he would get the chance to perform for them again soon. "I don't know. We'll have to see." He replied, stroking her hair so she could fall asleep faster. "I'm glad you like it, Soph. I played my best because I knew you, Mama, and Max were going to be there."

"You were awesome!" She told him again with some excitement before letting out another small yawn. "I can't wait to tell my friends tomorrow. I'm going to tell them that I have the best Daddy in the world."

"And I have the best daughter in the world." He told her, but he could see her eyelids slowly closing. It was clear to him now that her sleepiness was starting to take over her. Even so, Soul continued to stroke her hair. He had promised her not to leave until she had fallen asleep and that was exactly what he was doing. "Goodnight, Soph."

Soul stayed there for a couple of more minutes and it wasn't long before Sophie really fell fast asleep. She laid on her bed with the bear he had given her in her arms. She was really like an angel despite the fact that she looked a lot like him. Her appearance resembled him a lot, but she had taken after her mother's sweet and gentle nature. Letting out a yawn of his own, Soul stood up from her bed and walked over to the door. He needed to get some sleep too since his body was completely exhausted.

Dragging his feet down the hallway, Soul could hear the loud thunder roar throughout the house. It was no wonder Sophie was scared. Aside from the ghost stories Max had told her, the loud thunder was probably enough to scare and startle anyone. Soul let out another yawn before he finally made it to his bedroom. He slowly opened the door and stepped inside. He walked toward the bed and dropped himself on top of the mattress with exhaustion. He let out a sigh and just when he was about to close his eyes, he heard Maka's voice.

"Soul?" She whispered, turning to look at him with half closed eyes. "What happened? Where are you coming from?"

Soul smiled since it was strange how she was able to sleep through an entire storm without hearing anything. He shook his head as he shifted his body so that he was facing her. Grabbing her hand, Soul stared at her as she sleepily stared back at him. She was too beautiful and he could probably look at her all night if he let himself. "It's okay, Maka. Go back to sleep." He told her, but she just kept staring him. "It was Sophie. She scared of the thunder. I tucked her back in bed already. She should be fine now."

"Oh, okay." She told him before she laid back on her pillow again. However, this time, she scooted her body closer to him and Soul couldn't help but embrace her. It was always the same and his body would always heat up whenever he had her so close to him. Maka snuggled up against him, leaning her head on his chest. "I can hear it." She whispered and Soul wasn't entirely sure if she was still dreaming. "I can hear your heartbeat."

"Yeah." He said, looking up at the ceiling as he felt her wrap her arms around his body. They had been together for such a long time. They were married and they even had two kids. Still, despite all that, his feelings toward her were still strong. He still loved her as much as he did when he was a teenager. It was true that their lives had gotten much busier since they had gotten married, but they always found time to be with one another.

"I can hear it too." Soul whispered to her even though he knew she was asleep. "And it's beating because of you."
