Author's Note: This was inspired by When Earth meets water by pikachu203 and I recommend giving it a read.
"Fancy meeting you here in the realm of darkness!"
"Lova?"
Aqua had just arrive in the barron wasteland known as the Realm of Darkness. She expected to be alone. Instead, she witnessed Lova coming out of a portal of light that diminished as soon as Lova exited said portal. Lova is the estranged daughter of Master Eraqus. With her caramel skin and curly hair, the only resemblance she had to Master Eraqus was her hair color and facial features, though more feminine. She trained with Aqua and Terra for a few years before permanently living on a world called Earth with her mother. One aspect of Lova that Aqua couldn't help but stare at was her protruding stomach.
"It's been five years and I truly didn't foresee our reunion being here." Lova said, then chuckles at the blue haired girl's shocked expression. "I'm in my third trimester." She rubs her belly. "I wanted to make sure I became stronger so I can bear a strong son. Hence, I've been fighting the heartless. One of the worlds I visited fell to darkness, I tried escaping with a spell, something went wrong, and that's how I suddenly ended up here."
Aqua glares at her. "How could you put your life in danger at the expense of your own son?! There's a reason why women take it easy while pregnant, Lova. How are you going to raise a child in the Realm of Darkness?!"
Love rolls her eyes. "I'm not stuck here. I just need to recovering my magic I'll be able to return to the realm of light. You on the other hand won't be able to come with me. Want me to help you find another way out?"
"Only until you gain enough energy to leave." Said Aqua, "I can't believe you would put a child in danger like this. Master Eraqus would…" Aqua had a moment of silence.
Lova knew exactly what that silence meant. "My father's dead?"
Aqua nods. "Xenhenort killed him."
Lova sighs. "Never trust a bald man with a beard." She frowns "I actually wanted him to be there for his grandson. Training him on my own will be such a pain."
"Let's…. let's just go." Said Aqua. "We can walk while talking things out."
Lova and Aqua discussed many things: the darkness within Terra getting the best of him, Ventus' heart being shattered, Xehenort's to open Kingdom Hearts, and Aqua sacrificing herself to save Terra.
"I can't believe you risked everything to help Terra. I mean, I wouldn't even do that for Shiro and he's the baby's father!" Lova laughs.
Aqua rolls her eyes in disgust. "Do you not even understand the concept of love? I can't believe how selfish you've become."
Lova shrugs. "Duty over feelings. That was mother's favorite motto. Shiro and I conceived our child because it is our duty to continue our lineage of strength. In the end, children are truly the only thing of value you leave behind."
Suddenly, a giant heartless appeared in front of them. Aqua summoned the Master's Defender key blade and Lova summoned the Ultima key blade. The battle long and hard, but the two women came out the victors.
"Ahh!" Aqua emits a blood curdling scream and falls to the ground.
"Aqua!" Lova kneels down beside her companion. "Where's the injury?!"
"It didn't hit me!" Aqua grunts, "Something else is wrong!" Aqua curls into a ball, trembling in agony.
Lova gasps when she noticed a pool of water soaking Aqua's shorts. "Lay down!" She pushes Aqua down. Then Love lightly pokes the lower half of Aqua's stomach, causing Aqua to scream. Love then pulls down Aqua's shorts and screams, "You're crowning!"
"What?!"
"The baby's head is poking out!"
"What are you talking about?! I'm not pregnant!"
"Just focusing on pushing!"
Aqua didn't understand what was going on but she just wanted the pain to stop, so she listen to Lova and pushed with all her might. Then there was a loud cry. Aqua could barely see through the tears but her blurred vision processed that Lova was holding a crying, moving, blob of flesh.
"It's a boy." Said Love, giving the blob to Aqua.
Aqua wiped the tears away and couldn't believe what she was seeing: A baby. Her eyes were the size of saucers. "How?" She said, "I never showed any symptoms! AH!" Aqua was suddenly in pain again.
"There's another one!"
"What?!"
Aqua had to think about how she got into this situtation. Yes, she's been craving alot of food and gained a bit of weight, but her pregnancy test would came out negative and she still bled once a month! Her stomach protruded out a bit but not to the point where should ever imagine multiple children inside of her!
"It's a girl!"
Aqua just stared at the two newborns in her arms, horrified. "I don't understand….." She whispers, her voice lost to the screaming. "Terra and I used protection." She begins to sob. As if Aqua's situtation couldn't be any worse. Stuck in the realm of darkness with two innocent children who didn't deserve this fate. And worse, Terra will never know about the pair of miracles they created.
Lova quietly cuts the imbelical cords with her key blade and discards of the afterbirth.. What was there to say? After a few minutes of letting Aqua calm down, she finally asks. "What are you going to name them?"
Aqua had to breath in and out, calming herself enough to think about it. She looks at the girl and says, "Ora." then looks at the boy and says "Lido."
"They have Terra's hair." Lova tries to make small talk, stroking Ora's head.
"So they do." Said Aqua. "Lova, is your spell able to bring Ora and Lido with you?"
Lova nods, "They're small enough. But what about you? If I leave now, you'll be all alone."
"We can't travel and fight like this. The Realm Of Darkness is no place to raise children." Said Aqua. "I'll just have to find my own way out. All I ask is that you raise them well."
