YUKIKO DOES NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM LAST REMNANT, ONLY HER FANFIC STORY PLOT!!!



It has been 1 year since Rush Sykes has "died", 1 year that all his friends and family have moved on, except one, the Marquis of Athlum. During a battle outside of Athlum, Lord David Nassau spots a young dark haired woman dressed in Athlumian armor with the crest of the Sykes family on her waist, Rush Sykes. However Rush returns to the world in a woman's body and soon finds out the she harbors a Divine being that is known as Deity the Guardian of all Remnants and soon taken captive by Hermeien who has brought back from the dead in order to take Rush and use her power to revive all Remnant conquering the world. Hermeien's plan was put to stop when the Deity revived Kellendros, Conqueror, and Valeria Heart, helping Rush destroy Hermeien for good. After the battle, Rush and David soon married to one another, thus renaming Rush's surname to Nassau. Which brings us all to the beginning of Family Ties.

"WHAT?!?!? I'M PREGNANT!!!"

David's eyes widen in shock, Rush is pregnant?! How is… Is that even possible?!

The Lord snapped out of his daze and noticed that the male Generals and Rush's Dad were staring at him. Ignoring their gaze, David reached for the doorknob which Rush, his wife, Dr. Marina Sykes, Emmy, and Irina were locked inside in after Rush's vomiting on the carpet, only to have the door slam open that it nearly missed the Lord's face. Rush came through the door first screaming,

"THERE'S NO WAY I COULD BE PREGNANT!!!! YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT!!!" and runs off through the castle. David only stood in place staring at the room as the three women filed out with a sigh,

"Well, I think the Mood Swings are kicking in."

"Yes it is."

Pagus walked up to Marina and they began to discuss medical terms about Rush,

"I see that Rush will soon have a baby, Dr. Sykes."

"Yes she will, but I think the news of having one is too much for her. I can't really blame Rush, this is probably the last things she wanted, you know, her being a male before. Having a child, she thinks she's… Lord David?"

Everyone stopped what they doing and noted that the blond disappeared from sight,

"Perhaps the Lord is going to comfort Rush, let us go to the dining hall and prepare a meal for this afternoon." Torgal said on a lighter note, which everyone agreed.


With David



David walked calmly through the hallways of Athlum Castle though his mind was somewhere else,

RUSH IS PREGNANT!?!?! WITH MY CHILD!?!?! OH GOD!! FATHER, MOTHER, IF YOU'RE WATCHING ME NOW, I'M SORRY!!!!!

David snapped out of this thought when he heard small movement coming from the drawing room. He silently walked to the door, pushing it open and saw a big lump under some blankets. Squeezing through the door without making a single noise, David made his way to the couch where the lump was and placed a hand on it, making it jump slightly.

"Rush? Rush are you alright?"

"No."

"Why is that?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"To me yes."

"Care to explain?"

Rush came out of the covers with her bangs covering her eyes, which made David worried, "I… I'm not fit to have your child, Dave."

David's eyes soften, So that's it.

"So you are saying Rush, that you are not fit to have my child?"

Rush nodded slowly but did not lift her head, "Yeah, I mean come on, a kid?! I was never expecting this! Sure, I did, but so soon!? I'm still not use the female body yet! Hell, I didn't have those Periods Irina keeps telling me about!"

David laughed quietly and made Rush turn away, "Plus, you might not want me anymore."

Okay, this hit David to the core, How could she say such things…

"Rush, you are the woman I love, oh so dearly. I would give my life to protect you. I would Never throw you away, that to me is like taking my own heart out with my bare hands."

Rush raised her head slightly, went to a sitting position and showed David her shining obsidian eye, "Dave…"

David took Rush's hand into his own and held it to his cheek before placing his other hand over her stomach where the growing baby is,

"And I would love it if we had this baby. I will be so proud of our child and you; soon our child will be calling us 'Mommy and Daddy.'"

Tears were brought into Rush's eyes and leaned her head against her husband's head,

"I will be looking forward to that day."

Sitting in the silence, the two wanted nothing more than to embrace each other, that is until Irina came into the room,

"Rush, David, Lunch is ready," and departed.

Standing, David held out a hand to Rush, "Let us go."

Smiling, the black haired woman took his hand, "Yeah."


At the dining room



Everyone was in the table having lunch, which is more like a feast! David and Rush sat at the head of the table Marina and John at Rush's side, Emmy and Irina at David's side, Torgal and Pagus sat next to Emmy, Blotcher sat next to John; one big happy family.

"Well, Rush?"

The said woman looked at her Mom and smiled, "We'll be keeping the baby."

Everyone at the table grabbed their glass and raised it to the air and Torgal proposed the toast, "TO LORD DAVID AND RUSH! MAY THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE WITH THEIR FUTURE CHILD!!"

Irina added to the sentence, "AND MAY THE REMNANTS AND DEITY WATCH OVER YOU BOTH!!"

"CHEERS!!"

After Lunch, David and Rush walked to the Garden, then to Emma's grave site. It's been a while since they visited her due to what has happened. Rush placed the bouquet of white and purple flowers on top of her grave stone and stood at her place with David.

"Hey, old Lady, it's Rush and Dave. How are ya? We're sorry that we couldn't come by to see you sooner with all the things going on. Oh, did you hear? I'm pregnant, with Dave's child! Yeah, you're probably thinking 'what the hell!?' but hey, it happened. We wish that you would be at our child side when he or she is born. So we're asking you to by our child's guardian angel, watch over 'em as they grow up."

David placed a hand on Rush's shoulder signaling her that it was time to go, David already said his hello, but it was in his head. He didn't want to feel all down about it, so Rush agreed to do all the talking.

"We gotta go now, we'll come back and see ya soon!"

The day ended with that, Rush and David went to their bedroom and got ready to go to bed. Rush changed into a white sleeping gown while David changed into a simple white linen shirt with blue loose pants, basically pajamas, and went to their side of the bed. They did not split up the bed and shared the middle of it, Rush fit snuggly against David's body who wrapped his arms gently around Rush's waist.

The blond leaned over and kissed Rush's cheek before whispering into her ear,

"Goodnight, Love."

Rush smiled back, "Goodnight, Dave." She looked down onto her stomach, place her hand there and whispered, "Goodnight to you too."
