AN: The sequel to Change of Heart. Will x Caleb has really grown on me. Been reading the most recent comic and the fact that Matt isn't around annoyed me so I stopped reading fics bout him. But I still wanted Will loving stories so Will x Caleb took the place of Will x Matt ones. Not sure how long this will be yet but I think it will at least be around 4 chapters.
Love is a Hearts Child.
She couldn't believe it, it just couldn't be happening. She was happier then she had been in a long time, and she hadn't even got to see Caleb yet this week. It was hard having a relationship across different world but they were managing to pull it off quite nicely. 3 weeks had past since Halloween and that night they spent together and they had only seen each other a few time since then. Her friend had started to notice that Will seem more up beat, a little more like herself before the death of Matt and each of them had been taking guesses at why. No one apart from Elyon knew about them, and Elyon had only figured it out because Caleb had gotten her to send him to earth. Elyon had asked Caleb why, and Caleb refused to lie to his queen.
He didn't know why Will wanted to keep thing secret. Maybe it was because Caleb had once been with Cornelia years ago. Maybe it was because she just didn't want her friend to laugh at her for going back on her 'I need no one' Attitude. Either way Caleb didn't mind, and Elyon had promised him not to tell anyone. He wasn't going to be able to get to earth for another few day, and it annoyed him because he really wanted to see Will.
"Caleb?..Caleb??" Someone asked him as he sat down on the castle wall, were Matt had died, and he and Will had shared their first kiss. He felt kind of stupid know kissing her there but didn't regret it in the slightest. "CALEB??" The same person before shouted, and Caleb fell backward from the side of the wall to the main floor of the castle wall. Caleb quickly jumped up from the ground and looked to where the voice was coming from.
"What is it Vathek?" Caleb asked brushing himself off. "The queen want to see you in her bedroom." Vathek said walking away. Caleb thought it was kind of strange, he was rarely asked to talk to Elyon in her room. They usually used either the throne room, or one of the random unused rooms if they needed to talk. He was only ever called to her room when it wasn't about the running of Meridian. Caleb quickly walked down to the stairs that lead off the wall, and almost ran to the queens room not wanting to keep her waiting any longer then he had to.

On earth, Will and the other where having a day out at the mall. A nice break from visiting other world to deal with in what some cases were minor problems. Their position as guardians didn't seem to be need quite as much as it once was but it did come up on occasion. "Hay Hay, look at this." Irma said holding up a t-shirt that to Will was the weirdest combination of pink and light green. "Irma what is with you and trying to make Hay Lin wear even brighter clothes." Cornelia asked. "Shh Corny, she like stuff like this don't you Hay." Irma said sticking her tongue out at Cornelia.
Hay Lin, Irma and Taranee laughed. Hay Lin quickly grabbed the shirt and held it up against herself. "It great come on lets get it." Hay Lin said almost skipping to the check out counter. They had already looked through most of the store but only Hay Lin and Cornelia seemed to want to buy anything, the other were just along for the ride. Cornelia and Irma were quick to follow Hay Lin but Will found herself dragging behind. She was happy she really was, she was just starting to miss seeing Caleb and still didn't know how to tell her friends about them either.
Just then, Will felt the tingling sensation that was the heart calling her to go to Kandrakar. Taranee stopped and looked back to Will. "What is it?" Taranee asked. "Kandrakar, quick get the other and meet me in the nearby ladies room." Will said running off out of the store to the toilets. She knew Taranee would take awhile to get the other here, stopping Cornelia shopping even when Kandrakar was calling was still a near impossible feat. Will took the chance to use one of the toilet, and was washing her hands as the others arrived.
"Come on lets go." Will said, the heart appearing in her hand. "What about the clothes." Cornelia said holding up one of the bags she was holding. "OH NO NOT THE CLOTHES." Irma mocked her materialistic friend, getting a playful swat on the arm. "I'm sure The Oracle won't mind having they lay about while we work." Taranee said, before nodding to Will. "Heart of Kandrakar." Will said as she summoned up the magic to send the to Kandrakar, in a flash of pinkish light.
When the 5 of them arrived they were in the hall of the Aurameres. The place were the powers of Kandrakar's Heart were held and the source of the guardians magic. Yan Lin was waiting for them, as well as The Oracle, but no one else was around. "Hey Grandma." Hay Lin said walking up to Yan Lin and giving her a hug. "How have you been Hay Lin?" Yan Lin asked as it had been awhile since they had seen each other. "Oh great, Me and Eric are really happy together, we went to visit Elyon on her birthday and we...." Hay Lin went off trying to pick out all the event that seemed important but was cut sort by The Oracle coughing to get her attention.
It was strange but over the few years since Phobos nearly took over Kandrakar, The Oracle had slowly become more and more like himself when not The Oracle. It was nice, it meant less veiled hints as to what was about to come and more actual explanations of things. "Thank you." The Oracle said when everyone gave him their attention. "This is strange, the heart was only meant to call Will here." The Oracle said. Will knew what he meant, normally when the heart called it felt different to when it called to her alone. It had called them all, but why had it if The Oracle said it was only meant to call her. She knew she was going to be told.
"It must be because what I'm about to tell you the heart wants you all to hear, but it is only right that Will is told before. Will please stay here with Yan Lin, guardians please follow me." The Oracle explained before leading the other out of the hall. Each of them wondered what Yan Lin was about to tell Will, but the one who wanted to know most of all was Will.

Back on Meridian someone else was also being given news thats they didn't expect. Caleb was being shouted at by Elyon, he didn't know where it was heading but he would find out soon enough. After another few minutes of being shouted at for taking a relationship with Will so far, so quickly. He was shocked, he had told Elyon that they had gotten together but nothing beyod that how could she know what she did.
---
In two different places, two message's were given while they were different in words. They meaning in the end was the same. Both reaction to the message were also the same in all but words.
"You're pregnant." Yan Lin said in Kandrakar. "Will's pregnant." Elyon told Caleb after finally stopping screaming. "But..But." Will said as she started to cry in tear of both surprise and joy. "What." Caleb said it not sinking in to start before screaming out to the whole castle of Meridian in complete happiness. "I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER." He screamed. Vathek elsewhere in the castle looked up to the sound of his friend voice before putting his face into his right hand, for some reason he didn't see this going well.
Neither Will nor Caleb even asked how they could be sure Will was pregnant when the first night of them being together had only been 3 weeks ago, and then they realised, the answer to that was obvious anyway. Magic.

Will carried on crying she was happy really happy, she knew that the child could only be Caleb, but she was also scared. She only turned 18 at the beginning of this year, she wasn't ready to be a mother. How would she raise a child when his or her father lived in another world. She was worried. Would Caleb give up his world to be with her, or would his world come before her, just as it did for Cornelia. She cried more, she was happy really happy, but more frighten then she had ever been in her life.
"Will?" Yan Lin asked bending down to Will who had ended up sitting on the ground after she had been told. Her hand reached out to help Will up. Will took it and pulled herself up and then into the arms of the old women who was like a grandma to her as well.
The other guardian barged into the room, they had heard Will's crying and didn't care that The Oracle wanted to stop them. Either way though The Oracle let them past knowing that he could not stop them from going in. "Will are you ok?" Taranee asked amazingly the first to reach Will. Will broke free of the hug with Yan Lin and turned pulling Taranee into the biggest hug the two had ever shared. The other not even knowing what was happening joined the hug, as friend should. Will would tell them what was up when she felt up to it.
Will slowly calmed down, and sat down once again each of the girls sat near her. Yan Lin left and joined The Oracle outside knowing that Will would want to tell her friends what was up. "Come on Will what did Gran tell you." Irma said, each of them had slowly come to call Yan Lin Gran because to them she felt like one. "Irma give her space." Taranee said. "What I just want to know." Irma said back. "Do you ever keep quiet." Cornelia joined in the argument. It wasn't a hateful argument just another of their playful one. "Shut up." Will said causing all of them to zip it and look at her. "I'm pregnant that what Yan Lin told me." Will said still slightly tearful from before.
Each of her friends were shocked, but none of them wanted to be the first to ask a question, in case they hurt Will's feeling some how. Hay Lin couldn't resist it though she wanted to know. "Congrats Will, but who's the father?" She asked, the rest of them looked at her, apart from Will who looked down. This isn't who she planned on telling her friends but she knew it was the right thing to do. "caleb." She said weakly, only Hay Lin heard due to her magical powered up hearing. Hay Lin gasped before slamming a hand over her mouth. "Really?" She said past her hand. Will nodded slowly. Hay Lin squealed. "Aww that is so cool." She said said causing Will to smile, at least Hay didn't mind.
The others were still confused as they couldn't hear what Will had said. "Who's the father?" Irma asked again, for the rest of them who wanted to know. Will didn't say anything this time she couldn't. "Caleb." Hay Lin answered for her causing the rest to be shocked again for a second but in the end accepting and happy for her. Even Cornelia was which Will hadn't been expecting due to how the relationship between Caleb and her had ended.
"Thanks guys." Pulling the other into a sitting hug. "Come on lets go back home." She added pulling out the heart warping them back to the basement of the Ye Olde Bookshop. None of them cared that they had left the clothes they had just bought in Kandrakar.

Caleb paced back and forward, Elyon was watching him and he was trying to think of a way to get to earth. Elyon had said he wouldn't send him, until she was sure that Will already knew about the child. It was driving Caleb mad not to be able to see her when he knew that she was going to have his kid. He loved her, and the idea of having a family with her was absolutely amazing if not a bit overwhelming. Caleb had managed to pace for a round a hour before he returned to the spot where he first kissed Will.
Vathek was their waiting for him. "Caleb, I was wondering when you would get back here." Vathek said to his friend as he ascended the stairs up to the castle wall. "I'm guessing you heard me before then." Caleb said leaning against the side of the wall and looking out over Meridian. "Yes including most of the castle. What are you going to do?" Vathek asked "What do you mean?" Caleb asked back. "Caleb be realistic you can't raise a child that lives in another world." Vathek replied walking up to his friend and putting a hand on his shoulder.
Caleb didn't even bother trying to avoid the fact that his child was in another world. Vathek had knew of Caleb love for Will before he even did. "I don't know, I could live on earth with her." Caleb said, Vathek was taking the high point out of the news but he was trying to make his friend be realistic. "You'll have to, because I don't see her moving to Meridian when her family is on earth." Vathek said moving his hand off of his friend and taking a position next to him also looking out over Meridian.
"But this is my world." Caleb said his voice sound quiet sad. "It's either your world or the women you love, please don't make the same mistake again, I won't be able to bear to see you beating yourself up over it again." Vathek said in all seriousness. The big blue guy was a real good friend to Caleb he would miss him. "I won't." Caleb said plainly. "I just have to wait until Elyon is willing to send me to earth, she want to know that Will knows before I go." Caleb added on. "I'm sure Will will come here soon after finding out, just go to bed." Vathek told his friend, and Caleb did so.
