Yeah, a brand new story. I hope that I can keep this one fairly light-hearted but you know how my stories go. It may not turn out that way. Anyway, this story is about Storm and Zelos and their lives after Lost in the Storm. Well, I really hope that you all like this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Symphonia, but I do own Storm. Please don't take her, she's all I own.

Chapter 1: News

Storm was pacing in the living room, anxiously awaiting Zelos and her father's arrival. She was so nervous. How would they handle what she was about to tell them. She was truly afraid that they would freak out on her and she didn't really know how she would be able to handle a situation like that. She looked over at the nearby clock, wondering what was causing them to be so late.

It had been about a year since Storm's incident with Forcystus and the loss of her memory. She had turned eighteen not too long ago and she was very nervous that day too. She was so worried that when her internal clock stopped something horrible would happen. She was afraid that there would be some sort of pain involved, but when the time arrives she realized that it would pass just like any other day. The only difference was that she had been locked in her eighteen year old body for all eternity. She really didn't plan on living out that eternity but she was content with it for now.

Not too long after regaining her memory, Storm went on a mission with Yuan. The two of them traveled around Symphonia together for about five or six months. Within that time frame they became very close to each other, both learning things about the other that they never really knew. They became very close friends and Storm considered him less like an uncle and more as a good friend as of lately.

Yuan and Storm were able to knock out any remaining ranches that were left, including some small ones that were being built in small, secluded areas. Their greatest accomplishment was killing off the last Desian Cardinal, Magnius. Storm and Yuan were happy to know that the Desians were now a thing of the past and were hoping that they were actually able to get rid of all the ones that were remaining.

Storm had been home for about six months now and was getting very settled in. There had been a long span of peace lately and she didn't quite know what to do with herself. So, instead of sitting around the house all day, Storm decided to follow in her father's footsteps and she began to do some mercenary work here and there. It was nothing too difficult. There were just a few monsters every once and a while and sometimes she'd see some bandits. Things were pretty easy for her.

Zelos had become the king's advisor and worked hard to make sure that Symphonia would be ruled fairly and justly, considering the rights of every race. Zelos and Storm were both local celebrities in Meltokio and were often considered the hot couple in the city. Of course, Storm had managed to scare off all of Zelos' fangirls and even her own fanboys, this allowed them to actually maintain a relatively normal and quiet lifestyle.

Lloyd had been getting closer and closer to Sheena lately and he was trying to work up the courage to tell her how he really felt. Storm often thought it was funny how he always stumbled with his words when he was around Sheena. Storm had never had that problem with Zelos. She had always just told him how she felt and things worked out well between the two. Then, there was Lloyd, the eternal swordsman who had enough courage to face Mithos and all of Cruxis, but who couldn't work up the courage to say those three little words. She couldn't help but laugh at that.

Lloyd had moved to Mizuho recently to help Sheena in her village. As the new chief of the village Sheena had a lot of pressure and responsibility to deal with and Lloyd had offered to help her. In turn, Lloyd received the honor to live in Mizuho and even train with the ninjas. Sheena was working hard to revive her culture in the new world and was also helping Yuan and the Renegades track down Desians that were still roaming in small groups.

Regal and Presea were doing well with the company. They had already helped rebuild all of the destroyed cities. Palmascosta, Luin, and Ozette had all been rebuilt, even improved upon. They were now spending all their money and time working on things that could be used to help out the new worlds. Their company had already had a huge impact on the lives of thousands of people, helping them return to a normal life. Presea was finally beginning to age again and it was evident as she began to hit what was puberty for her.

Raine was had joined up with a group of archeological maniacs from around the Asgard area on a tour of the many sites around Symphonia. Their goal was to find the similarities between the history in the Sylverant and Tethe'alla sections of Symphonia. Raine had received the invite to go on the trip and couldn't bear to resist. She had decided to leave Genis to continue on the journey to end discrimination. She would return once their exploration was over.

Genis had recently hit his growth spurt and was much taller than he was before. He had hit puberty and his voice had also gotten deeper as a result of it. He looked more and more like a powerful warlock everyday and the changes that he was experiencing were amazing to see. His magic had gotten much more powerful and he had become well known among not only half-elves for his efforts to end discrimination, but also around elves and humans for his skill with magic.

Colette was still in school in Iselia. She had taken a large interest in becoming a teacher for all of the young children of the village and had decided to work towards a career as a teacher. She would eventually take over Raine's position, but for the time being she was still in school trying to pursue her career choice. All of the children of the village loved her already and she couldn't wait for the day she could teach them.

Storm's father had moved to Luin to help protect the city that Anna was born in. He helped to rebuild the city and was determined to make sure that it wasn't destroyed once again. Sadly for Luin, Kratos had become lonely and was planning on moving out of Luin in the near future and buying a house in Meltokio to be closer to Storm. Kratos had begun to come out of his shell but he was still hard to break. Storm knew that her father was stubborn and that he would never be an outgoing and happy person. It was the same way that she knew that she could look happy and outgoing, but on the inside she would never feel that way.

Storm was really nervous now, she could see Zelos and Kratos coming up the road. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on what she would say to the two of them. She wasn't quite sure how they would react and she was afraid that bad things could happen when they found out. She didn't want to shock either of them and she didn't want either to be upset with her.

Finally, the door opened and Zelos burst through the door with Kratos following behind him.

"Hey hunny," Zelos said as he wrapped her up in a large hug. "Now, are you going to tell us what was so important?"

"Yeah...you'd both better sit down," she replied as she motioned them to sit on the couch as she stood in front of it.

Kratos and Zelos both did as she requested and sat on the couch, looking up at her quizzically.

"Storm, is something wrong?" Kratos asked, concern apparent in his voice.

"Well...you see I have some important news," she began.

"Yeah, you already told us that, that's why I went and had Kratos come here," Zelos pointed out.

"Well," she said as she swallowed, her throat dry as she struggled to swallow. She closed her eyes and sighed before opening them, revealing her hazel eyes to the two of them.

"I'm pregnant," she finally told them.

Wow! How will Kratos and Zelos react to that news? Next chapter will reveal all. I hope that this story reveals how Zelos and Storm treat each other. Hopefully I can get some funny scenes. I definitely need some Shelloyd scenes. Anyway, tell me what you think and review.
