            You always looked so peaceful when sleeping.  Yukio loved that about the mornings when he had to get ready for a mission.  He could just watch you.  You breathed out soft exhales of air through your nose, and occasionally the muscles in your face would twitch.  Maybe you were processing a dream?

            The young Exorcist smiled gently at the thought, before walking over to your bedside.  His lips skimmed lightly over your exposed temple, and he whispered, “I love you, (Name),” before turning away to head for the door.

            A familiar, sinking feeling settled in his gut, and Yukio turned to you again with a frown.  What if something when wrong while he was away?  What if the child decided to be horrible and come too early, killing you in the process?  The half-demon curled his lips back in a bitter snarl and hissed.  He knew he shouldn’t think that way about his own child, but he couldn’t seem to help it.

            “Yukio,” came a tired voice.  “You’re thinking too much again, aren’t you?”

            All the muscles in his face relaxed at once, and you padded your way to him, barefoot, across the floor.

            Yukio didn’t think he would ever be able to understand the beauty pregnancy brought to a woman; only that, every time he saw you, his heart would flutter.  Your whole being held a natural glow, and a sense of grace could be found in your swollen belly.  And yet, there was poison in that fact that his child would not be human, because he was not human.  In fact, he had not been human for over four years.

            “No, I just-“  The half-demon attempted to explain but was interrupted as you reached to grab the slim, black horns that protruded from his skull.  Immediately, the end of his tail was down by your feet.  Yukio hissed, flaring a glare in your direction.  He hated that and you knew it.

            “Don’t lie to me, Yukio,” you told him.  “I always know when you’re lying.”

            “How?” he asked, his tail flipping across the flesh of your ankle.

            You giggled.  “Your nose goes red.”

            “So, what are you so worked up about now?” you asked, while playing with the badge on his uniform.

            “I’m just worried.”  He sighed.  “What if something were to happen while I was gone?  What if something were to go wrong?”

            “You worry too much.”

            Yukio groaned, throwing his head back.  “I know.”

            “Our child isn’t despicable, Yukio,” you reminded.  “You might have struggled as a demon at first, but our child won’t.  Think about Rin’s wife.  She’s human, and now they have Shiro.  They didn’t have any serious problems during pregnancy, and he is just absolutely adorable~”

            Yukio couldn’t help but smile at your enthusiasm.

            “Just relax, okay, Yukio?” you whispered, brushing your fingers across his horns again while pressing your lips into his chin.  “We’ll be fine.”

            “All right,” he sighed, giving into your assurances.  He smiled at you again after a moment.  “Walk me to the door?”

            “Of course,” you chirped before latching onto his arm.

            Rin was already waiting for his brother on the other side of the door, leaning against the wall.  He perked up when he saw you with Yukio.

            “How ya doing, (Name)?”

            “Pretty well,” you said, stepping away from Yukio, preparing to say good-bye.  “I’m just tired mostly.”

            “Come back safe.” You were about ready to kiss Yukio when you remembered something.  Leaning close to his ear, you whispered, “Oh, and Yukio, we’re having twins!”

            For a moment, the Exorcist didn’t say anything.  He just stared at you, his cheeks growing a little red.

            “T-Twins?” he repeated.

            You nodded, grinning widely.  “I found out during my last check-up, but you were away, so-“

            You words were muffled by his kiss, and after a moment he pulled away.  “Thank you, (Name),” he whispered.  “I’m sorry to have been so bitter and worried lately.”

            “Don’t worry, Yukio, if you didn’t worry, I would end up worrying,” You punched him affectionately in the arm.  “Now, go on.  Don’t make Rin wait.”

            Yukio brushed his hand over your cheek one more time before joining his brother.  The older half-demon captured the younger in a headlock as a sure way to congratulate the expectant father.
