Howdy! Yep, another story!
Summary: Ishtar is married... to Duzell! They moved somewhere far away from the castle, and even though Duzell still didn't find Phelios's reincarnation, they still set aside some time just for them... and now, Ishtar is pregnant! How will the child fair when she finds out that her father once was a Vampire King? What if this child just happens to be the reincarnation of Phelios?

Chapter one: Only 5 more months...
Princess Ishtar used to live in a castle, but not any more. Now she lives with Duzell, not-anywhere-near the castle. The two are married... or 'bonded forever', as Duzie says. Vampires don't necessarily like the word 'married', they think it's too human-ish.
Ishtar was pregnant in her 4th month. For Duzie, it was like living with a mood-changing ring. Red full of anger at one time, blue full of sadness at another. Duzie was thinking about stuff when he heard a yell from Ishtar from the other room. He rushed to the room to see what was wrong, and he saw the Princess trying to stand up.
"Duuuzzziieee...!" Ishtar complained. Duzell walked over to her and helped her up. "I hate being like this!"
Oh no, not another hot flash... Duzell thought.
"I can't stand up without asking for help, I'm constantly tired, and now, I CAN'T SEE MY FEET!" She threw herself into Duzie, and he hugged her. ...Duzie thought he was getting soft... Ishtar started to cry. "Y...You don't... sniff. ...think that I'm a... sniff... handicap, do you?"
"No, of course not. I love you just the way you are." Duzie was right. He was getting soft. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ishtar perked up and out of that latest mood-swing.
"Oh! That must be Darres!" Ishtar chirped.
"...Darres? Why is he here?" Duzell questioned Ishtar.
"I invited him over! I hope you don't mind." Ishtar walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was Darres. "Come in..!"
"Oh---okay." He stepped inside. But someone was behind him. A woman with short, brown hair and dark brown eyes. Once Ishtar saw her, she stopped.
"...Hello...?" Ishtar said to her.
"Oh, this is Kana." Darres answered.
"Ka...na?" Ishtar asked. "are you married to her?"
Darres put his head down, and Kana nodded. "Yes." Kana said sweetly. Then Kana bent down to Ishtar's height and whispered in her ear, "so where's your husband, umm... Duzie was it?"
"Oh, he's over there!" Ishtar said.
Everyone walked in. Once Darres saw Duzell standing in the hallway, he waved kindly. Ever since Ishtar and Duzell had gotten 'bonded forever', Darres had been nicer to the vampire. ...Even if he was the pure opposite of the royal bloodline.
Duzie walked over to him and bent down to Ishtar. "They know?" He whispered to Ishtar.
"Yeah, I told Darres, and he just said 'Please be happy'." Ishtar answered.
"Oh." Duzell said, leaning up again.
Kana walked over and waved to Duzie. Duzie shook her hand, and they went to sit down and talk.
XXX—XXX—XXX—XXX—XXX—XXX
"Do you like where you live, I mean, outside the castle?" Kana asked.
"Yeah, its okay..." Ishtar said. "Just Duzie and I!"
"Since we're closest to Ci Xeneth, occasionally we would get a visit from Falan and Illsaide." Duzie said.
"Oh, Duzell...?" Kana started. "Ishtar said that you can... transform into a Kyawl... umm..."
"Hmmm...?"
"C...Can you turn into one... for me...?" Kana said, blushing. "Cause I love cats, especially Kyawls!"
"H-Huh?" Duzie stated.
"Kana here loves cats. We have about ...5 Kyawls at home. She's crazy about them." Darres said.
Duzell stayed silent, and Ishtar spoke for him. "Now since he has 100 vampire power, he doesn't really like turning into his Kyawl form... But he'll do it anyway, won't you Duzie?"
Duzell put his head down. He couldn't argue. Even super-powerful as he is, even he knew never to mess with a bitchy pregnant woman. So he did. POOF! Kyawl-Duzie!
"OOH!" Kana said joyfully, picking up Duzie and petting him. After about 10 min. of Kana-happiness, she put Duzie down. He walked to his and Ishtar's room and POOFED back to normal. When he came out again, Kana and Ishtar were talking about the baby.
"...So what are your top two names?" Kana asked.
"Well..." Ishtar began. Duzie sat down, so Ishtar leaned on his shoulder. "If it's a boy... Keeo (key-oh). And if it's a girl... well we didn't figure that out yet."
"Hmm...?" Duzie asked.
"Oh, baby names!" Ishtar said.
"Speaking of that, how many more months?" Darres asked.
"About 5." Duzell answered. "...You?" He motioned that one at Kana, who looked surprised. So did Darres...
"H...How?" She asked.
"K—Kana!" Darres said, utterly confused.
"I can sense living forms, even if they are not visible." Duzell said. "...So, how many more?"
"...8 and a half." Kana admitted. Darres looked as though he was about to fall over. Same as how he looked when he learned that Ishtar was pregnant. Kana poked him. "Darres? Darres sweetie? ...Are you okay?"
Darres went to normal. He turned to face his wife. "Kana, when were you going to tell me?"
"...in a month, at the banquet." Kana said. Darres hugged her. After the two had stopped hugging, Darres turned to Ishtar and Duzell.
"How did the royal families react when they heard about you two?" He said.
"Well... All that I know of... Falan and Illsaide were a little shocked... Ashley and Leene were not okay... well, Ashley I think, didn't mind, but Leene did, she freaked. Vord, Laphiji, and Seliez were a little taken back... accept for Vord... and you can just picture how Lady Ramia looked. ...That's all I know of." Ishtar said.
"Do the people know?"
"Nope. Well they do... but..." Ishtar said.
"They what...?" Duzie asked.
"Heh-heh... funny story, actually..." Ishtar said. "I kinda told them that Duzie was part of the royal family."
"YOU WHAT!" Duzell said. "I'm like the complete opposite!" He calmed down some, but was still a little miffed.
"Told ya it was a funny story..." Ishtar said.
"So you..." Kana said. "Lied to them."
"That's Ishtar, our own crazy girl..." Darres said.
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Ishtar yelled. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID I WAS CRAZY! DARRES, YOU SUCK!"
"Huh?" Darres asked.
"Mood swing." Duzell answered. "Since you now have Kana, you should get used to it soon."
"WAIT! ...Darres... sniff... you didn't mean... sniff... that like you hated... me, did you? ...WAAAAAH!" Ishtar cried (literally).
"Another mood swing." Duzie said. "Oh yeah, whatever happened to Yu Jinn? How did he feel about this?"
"Well," Darres started. "He doesn't really mind all that much. I think he knew about you two, as well as you, Duzell."
"Really? Is he that smart?" Ishtar asked.
"Hah-hah." Darres said sarcastically.
"No, really...!" Ishtar said. "I meant it! ...Know what, I wanna do something fun."
"B...but Ishtar..." Darres started.
"Oh relax, Darres-sweetie," Kana said.
"YEAH! RELAX!" Ishtar yelled. "All I wanna do is..."
"Hmmmm?" Everyone asked.
"...I don't know." She said. "Wait... maybe we could go camping. Yeah! Camping!"
"Uhh... In your condition, I don't think..." Duzell said.
"Too bad, Duzie! I wanna go! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA!"
Duzell turned to Darres for help, but he just sat there.
"Well I think it's a great idea!" Kana said.
"YAY!" Ishtar yelled happily. "Ok, now when?"
Everyone thought for a moment.
"I know...!" Kana said. "How about in two days, we can go for a week!"
So it was settled. They were going to go camping in a forest called Reshulaketa Forest. (Reh-shoe-lah-kay-tah) ...For a week. 2 pregnant women, 1 knight, and 1 super-powerful vampire... all going on a camping trip... for a week.
