Kid splashed water over his face to try and calm himself down.

"Th-this isn't happening...." he told himself over and over, but he knew no other explanation for what was going on. He started thinking about his flight with Maka back to Death City.

"Kid I think I might be sick...." Maka said.

"Do you need any medicine? I always keep cold pills in my carry-on, just in case." Kid asked Maka, concerned for her well-being.

"Do you have any pepto, 'cause I feel like I'm going to throw up." Maka asked.

"Sorry, Maka. Pepto's a liquid medicine and they don't allow more than three ounces of liquid in a carry-on." Kid replied with a really concerned look on his face. "I'll look and see if there's anything I have that can help, though."

Kid searched through his carry-on and found a bottle of Tylenol, but as he was pulling out the bottle from his bag, Maka grabbed a barf bag from in front of them and threw up.

It seemed like nothing at the time, but then something happened this morning. His father called him and asked for him to come up to the academy to ask for something important. He walked to the academy and ran into Soul and Liz on the way. The two of them had been dating since the night of Kid and Maka's wedding.

"Hey guys!" Kid said excitedly.

"Hey Kid! Where's Maka?" Liz asked curiously.

"Maka is kind of sick right now, so she's at home, and I'm going to drop by the academy because my dad wanted to talk to me about something." Kid replied.

"Well... We're headed in the same general direction, do you want to walk with us?" Soul offered.

"Sure" Kid accepted with a big smile on his face.

The three of them walked together until they reached the academy, then Soul and Liz continued walking in the same direction. Kid found his way to the death room as he had done hundreds of times before to see his father and Spirit.

"You wanted to ask me something?" Kid asked when he stepped into the room.

"Well, I was, but where's Maka?" Lord Death asked Kid.

"She's kind of sick right now, so I'd like to get back home as soon as possible to check up on her." Kid responded.

"Then I guess we should just get down to business then. Kid, I'm thinking I may need to retire, and I want you to take over the academy." Lord Death said. "Would you be willing to do that?"

"I think I should discuss that with Maka before I actually answer that. I don't want to have Maka tied down here in Death City because I accepted this and can't exactly come to a town that was built in the middle of nowhere every day to work." Kid answered.

"I understand. I was married once too, I know that you can't make any big descisions like this without including Maka." Lord Death said. "By the way, since you wanted to check up on Maka, and there's at least some chance of you taking this job, do you want to try out the mirror yourself to try and check up on Maka so you would have some experience to check up on students if you do take it?"

"Sure..." Kid said awkwardly. He had seen his dad watch his students through that mirror at least a hundred times, and he knew how to use it just fine. He used the mirror to watch Maka, and when she came up on the mirror's surface, she was on the couch holding a little stick. When Kid looked closer, he realized it was a pregnancy test. He made it to where Maka wasn't on the surface of the mirror anymore and left the room without saying a word.

And thats how he ended up in the academy bathroom splashing water on his face and almost melting down. He didn't know if he was ready for a kid.
