SoMa Fanfic - New Comer - Ch 3

Chapter 3 – Secrets Unveiled


Maka sucked in her breath. She nodded her head quickly and eventually mustered the words, "Yes… Yes!" Soul smiled gently and slipped the beautiful ring onto her finger. They embraced each other and Maka couldn't stop her vision from getting blurry.

On their way home they walked hand-in-hand, shoulders and heads leaning on each other.
Once they got into their apartment and closed the door Maka jumped onto; kissing him passionately as Soul carried her into the bedroom.

The next day Maka couldn't wait for what she had planned. She called everyone up for another dinner party in her apartment like she used to do when they were younger. She was super excited and knew exactly what she was going to cook. She couldn't help keeping her eyes off her ring though. It really was a pretty one.  Maka had been in awe when she first saw it. She could hardly believe Soul picked it out on his own.  The ring was golden with a fairly big diamond in the middle. Surrounding the main stone were little diamonds that waved around the big one; almost like stirred water.

When the time came for everyone to come over everyone filed into her apartment one by one. First was Kid; perfectly on time, followed by Liz and Patty. A few minutes later Chrona and Tsubaki arrived and a few seconds after she was in BlackStar burst in the door; almost breaking it down, announcing, "IT IS I: THE GREAT BLACKSTAR! I HAVE ARRIVED!"

"Why are you last then?" everyone asked.

"Don't you know? The hero is always last to arrive on scene. Duh!" BlackStar boomed.

Once everyone was settled Kid asked, "So Maka, why did you decide to have a celebration all of a sudden? What are we celebrating exactly?" in his almost never changing; serious voice.

Maka laughed nervously a bit. "Well… Funny you should say that actually. Soul and I actually have some news for you guys," she said nervously. She stood up then, along with Soul who was beside her. "We're engaged!" Maka announced, showing her ring. All the girls gasped (Except for Chrona, she wasn't sure what to do) and the boys starred wide-eyed. The girls started moving towards the ring when Soul stopped them.

"That isn't all though," he said.

"Um… we're also… well I'm… pregnant?..." This time they all starred wide-eyed, and the boys were even wider this time. Then BlackStar got up and patted Soul on the shoulder.

"Nice goin', dude," BlackStar told him.

"Yes, congradulations," Kid told him.

"Uh… Thanks…" Soul said.

Meanwhile all the girls finally got their chance to swarm around Maka (Chrona followed.) They investigated the ring like it was treasure and all starred at her stomach.

"Maka, I'm so proud of you!" Tsubaki told her.

"Yeah, congrats!" Liz congratulated. Patty giggled and Chrona just squirmed unnaturally.

"Thanks guys."

"Have you told anyone else yet?" Tsubaki asked.

"Well…" Maka's face screwed up. "The only one left I really need to tell is my father."

Everyone laughed and the rest of the night went on without a hitch.

The next day Maka knew what she had to do; even though she'd rather flush herself down a toilet rather than doing so. She had to tell her father. She told it was probably better for her to go this one alone. She was scared he might go ballistic on Soul if he was anywhere nearby. So she traveled to her old school; the DWMA by herself in pursuit of her father. Once she found herself in the Death Room she saw Death and her father were talking.

"Uh… Sorry for the interruption, Death Sir, but I really need to talk to my father," Maka said as she bowed her head in respect.

"No no! No problemo at all! Please please! Take him away! I can only handle so much of him!" Death said in his happy tone.

"MAKAAAA! YOU WANT TO TALK TO YOUR PAPAAA???" Spirit asked, almost spitting the words in a babyish tone. Before Maka had a chance to answer he had already glomped Maka and she was struggling to get free.

"Get off me!" she told him sternly, as always; otherwise he wouldn't listen.

"Ok," he whispered in fear and followed Maka out to one of the many balconies in the DWMA like a lost puppy.

Once they were outside Maka silently wish he would take the news well, even though it was overwhelming. She gazed up at the tired looking sun and pure blue sky and wished for strength.

"So, Maka, what is it you need to tell you papa?" Spirit asked, sounding almost like a kid. His face looked like one as well.

"Well…" Maka started. "It's a bit of a secret… and I'm scared of what you'll say… so I think I'll just come out and say it," Maka stated. Spirits face grew serious.

"Go ahead," he said.

Maka looked away from her papa's face and quickly said, "I'mengagedtoSoulandpregnantwithhisbaby!"

She turned back to see his expression, but he seemed to be a concrete statue: expressionless.

"Papa?" Maka asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. Instantly Spirit burst into tears and squeezed Maka so tightly and feared for the baby that had barely grown at all yet. He sobbed as loud as he could and frequently screamed MAKAAAA! "Pa..pa… stop…squ..eezing…so…tight!" Maka yelled at him. He ignored her and started screaming even louder.

"HOWCOULDMYPRECIOUSLITTLEBABYGROWUPSOFASTTTT????NONONONONOMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

"PAPA!" Maka screamed back at him. He stopped for a moment. "LET GO!" He let go of her but still stood right in front of him; his face absolutely soaked in tears. For the first time in her life she did feel a little bad for him. He thought she should give him a light hug, but settled with a light shoulder pat as she said,

"Papa, it's okay. I'm old enough to get married and h-" she began but halted when Spirits face grew tense and ugly.

"Soul…" he whispered. "SOUL, THAT BASTARD! I'LL HAVE THAT SON OF A GUN BY HIS TOES!!!" Spirit screeched.

"PAPA NO! MAKAAAA-CHOP!" she shouted and Spirit bonked to the ground. "Papa, I love Soul. If you do anything to hurt him… I'll never talk to you again!" Maka spat at him then ran off.
