It had been a week since Tigeress and her family left. Since them Minerva and Sting had been together, not as a couple but they had been talking about it. During the time Minerva had been welcomed back into Sabertooth and was a member again. She was happy to welcomed back but she still couldn't help but think about her daughter Skyrhina who had been taken from her but this time by her first husband.

One day Minerva and Sting were both in the office doing paperwork. When they were done Minerva sat on the desk but she noticed that Sting was looking at a calender and she wondered what for so she looked at him.

"What's with the calender?"

Sting smiled at her.

"Well you see princess, our future children informed us that we will have identical twin sons in exactly one year from now and if I'm not mistaken, pregnancy can range from 8 to 10 months, so in two months from now you'll be pregnant."

Sting suddenly wished he didn't say that last part because Minerva had reached over the desk and grabbed him by his collar bringing him to her.

"S-Sorry, I'm just so happy that I'm going to be a father and step father while I'm at it."

Minerva wasn't sure what to tell him so she let him go and looked away.

"You said two months right?"

"Yeah."

"Give me one month to get my act together because I don't I can do all of this so soon."

Inner Sting was dancing for joy across the rainbow in his Lala land then he smiled.

"Sure thing, take as much time as you need."

Minerva smiled then placed a hand on his cheek.

"Of course, when that month is over..."

She paused and whispered in his ear.

"You can have me all to yourself."

Sting's eyes widen then he felt Minerva kiss his cheek. Minerva smiled then left out of the office. After a few moments Sting sunk into his chair and began to daydream about everything that might happen.

Sting's Daydream

Sting was walking into his home.

"Honey, I'm home."

Just then he saw Minerva coming to him. She was happy to see him and they both hugged and she kissed him on the cheek.

"Dinner and I have been waiting for you, dear."

Sting smiled at her.

"I couldn't wait to get home. You're my home sweet home."

Daydream end

Sting had his head down on his desk as if he was depressed about something.

"I have to wait a month for that."

(With Minerva)

Minerva was sitting under a tree in deep thought. She wasn't sure how she was going to do this but she was glad that Sting didn't rush her. Unlike her father, Sting was gentle with her she wondered if it was because he felt sorry for her or did he just look it as a 'oh you can't fight with me now, I'm your master, so you belong to me.' Minerva wasn't sure what to think, granted she didn't know how to love, so will Sting help her with that or at least show her how. She was hoping that in some way or another she can learn to love and cherish others. She saw how Sabertooth had become a more accepting guild because even she knew that she was kind of scared to return to Sabertooth because of how she was turned into a demon and what if they didn't want her.

Flashback

After the fight with Tartaros Sting, Minerva, Rogue and their Exceeds were all walking through the forest to head back to their guild. Jiemma had left them alone saying that he wasn't going to go back and thanks to his change of heart he left all three of them at peace.

As they were walking Minerva wasn't talking, she wasn't sure what to do. Lector and Frosch noticed that she looked kind of depressed about something so then Lector ran up to Sting.

"Sting-kun, the Lady is sad."

Sting and Rogue looked at Minerva who quickly waved her hands shaking her head.

"No, I'm not!"

Sting went to her and Minerva took a step back from him. Sting and Rogue were both surprised at how Minerva was reacting.

"It's just that...I'm just scared."

"About what?"

Minerva looked away.

"About going back to Sabertooth. What if the others don't want me back?...I wouldn't blame them."

She said the last part in a whisper but Sting still heard what she said then he hugged her.

"Princess, you don't have to worry. Sabertooth is not the same dark feeling guild when your father was the master. We're in a whole new reign so you don't have to be scared."

"..."

"Come on, let's go back to the guild together."

Minerva nodded then they went back to the guild.

Now

Minerva smiled then hugged her knees close to her.

"He was right, I didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone welcomed me back, even Yukino."

Minerva smiled closing her eyes.

"You're going to be very lucky, Sting. Instead of a month I'll make it less than that."

She giggled to herself at how happy Sting was.

"Yeah, I'm going to make the wait shorter."
