Vampires Bride

Chapter 24

Kuroko's Pov

I stirred the soup before me and let out a sigh causing Kagami and Himuro who were in the kitchen with my look up from their conversation and ask me what was wrong.

"Just missing Sei-kun."

It had been less than twenty-four hours since he had left. After I had cried in Kagami's lap I had fallen asleep for a solid fourteen hours and awoken refreshed in Murasakibara's arms. He had held me the entire time I was asleep, simply rubbing my back like he had when I was a child. Now I was awake though and missing Akashi with an ache that wouldn't go away. I had finally overcome my fear of him touching me and I wanted to always be beside him. I missed his gently hands and eyes that could see into my soul. I even missed his kisses. We didn't go any further than that. Just good PG13 make out sessions. I felt my cheeks redden at the thought that I wanted more. I looked down at my giant stomach and shook my head at my foolishness. There wouldn't be any more than that for a long time.

I felt a dull ache spread through my stomach and breathed deeply with a grimace. I had been having the occasional pain for the last couple hours and it was really getting annoying. I hadn't told anyone because I knew if I did they would all freak out. I got up, leaving my soup untouched and moved outside where I lay down on a couch under a palm tree and stared out at the ocean and the setting sun. I was beginning to doze off when a sharp pain caused me to cry out and scrunch up in a ball and clutching my stomach.

I was dimly aware of people calling my name and then I was scooped up into big arms and saw purple hair. The pain was passing and I looked up to see Murasakibara rushing me inside to lie me on the bed in a side room that Midorima had set up for me. It was full of all his medical supplies and everything he needed to look after humans and hunters. Red entered my vision and Kagami leaned over me his face pale and eyes wide with worry.

"Whats wrong?"

I opened my mouth to say I was fine when pain rippled through me and I cried out again.

"It hurts! My stomach it hurts!"

Akashis Pov

We were just landing and getting ready to depart the plane when I was hit with a sudden feeling of unease at the same time Midorima's phone rang. I felt my chest tighten with fear when he answered it. We were suddenly buffeted by chattering voices and in the background I heard Kuroko scream. Midorima's face paled and he looked over at me, half standing and frozen from getting out of my seat.

"I think Kuroko is going into labour!"

I was on my feet in an instant with Midorima a step behind me. Aomine and Kise were standing in the door way to the cock pit and moved at once to open the plane door. Midorima moved forward when I would have jumped out and grabbed my arm.

"I don't think I can let you in the room with us."

My heart gave a painful thump and I clutched at it and stared into his green eyes with hate.

"You expect me to stay away from him when he is in pain? I have been separated from him long enough you will not stand in my way."

Takao stood up from his seat and moved closer to Midorima his eyes wary. In the corner of my eye I saw Aomine and Kise move to flank me.

"I have to ask you to please listen rationally. In all the research I have done in past lives once the Eve gave birth to the children the pure blood than drank them dry. In every case."

Fear rushed over my like cold water and I only gaped at Midorima who let go of my arm.

"Every case?"
