Okay I'm off to a roaring start! Well, I bet some of you figured out what is wrong with Sheena. If you still can't figure it out, this chapter will spell it out for you. If you have figured it out, kudos to you. Now on with the story!

Lloyd and Kratos had finally made it home. On the way, they talked about all sorts of things. They talked about great warriors during the Kharlan War, some of Kratos' exploits before he met Mithos, Yuan, and Martel. They talked about what Lloyd wanted to do when he got older. It seemed like it couldn't get any better. Lloyd had finally found his father after 14 years; he had a beautiful girlfriend, a nice place to live. What could possibly turn his life upside down?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lloyd! I know you have done things that I have thought were totally reckless and dangerous, but this one takes the cake!" To Lloyd's confusion, Dirk was roaring mad.

"Dad! What did I do?" asked Lloyd.

'Uh oh,' thought Kratos. 'I think I know what happened. And I got a feeling there will be a new addition to the family in about 9 months.'

"Lloyd, I don't when it happened," replied Dirk. "But thanks to you, the young lass upstairs is now expecting a baby!"

"OH SHIT!" said Lloyd in shock. "But hey, I'll be a daddy soon."

Dirk was still angry. "I don't think you truly understand the scope of what you've done!" He stormed off outside, and started cutting wood to burn off some steam.

Now Kratos was alone with his son. Lloyd felt down, after being yelled at by Dirk. He knew yelling at his son wouldn't help any, but he decided that he'd better make sure Lloyd understood what he had done and what the consequences would be.

"Lloyd."

Lloyd had his head bowed down. "Yeah dad. Do you want to yell at me too?"

"No," replied Kratos. "When did it happen?"

Lloyd wanted to try and hide most of the details of what happened, but there were two things that stopped him. The first was Dwarven Vow #11. The second was that he figured he wasn't smart enough to try and fool his father.

He sighed and began the story. "You remember the night we spent here before we went to fight Mithos?"

A/N: In this story, no one was captured by Mithos in the Torrent Forest. His lifeless body in the Tower of Salvation somehow came back, and acted on Mithos' thoughts, and made all hell break loose. So I could disregard the quick movements to save a friend.

Flashback - Dirk's House

It was about four o'clock in the morning. Lloyd just couldn't sleep, no matter how hard he tried. So, deciding not to fight it anymore, he got up. The girls were sleeping upstairs, so he could easily sneak outside to get some air, and have a little time to do something without waking anyone up.

After some quick thinking, he decided to take a swim down by his secret lagoon that only he knew about. He changed into his blue and orange bathing suit, got out a towel, and headed off to his secret retreat.

At around the same time, Sheena had woken up. She had a lot of difficulty sleeping. Especially with the upcoming battle with Mithos looming ahead. With her ninja senses, she heard someone walking away from the house. With a quick peek outside the window, she saw Lloyd, clad in a bathing suit and with a red towel over his shoulder.

'He must know of a swimming hole somewhere around here,' she thought to herself. 'And I bet he wouldn't mind some company.' She quickly changed into her somewhat revealing bathing suit, borrowed a towel, and went after Lloyd.

After fifteen minutes of walking, Lloyd found his secret swimming hole. Without hesitation, he dropped his towel and took jumped into the air and did a cannonball!

"WOOHOO!" SPLASH!

Lloyd loved the feeling of cold water first thing in the morning. Except when it was being used to wake him up. Ten seconds later, he swam to the surface. To his surprise, he saw Sheena there, in her bathing suit, waiting for him.

Lloyd was surprised that Sheena found this place. "Hey Sheena. How'd you find this place?"

"I followed you silly," replied Sheena. "I saw you leaving in your bathing suit and it was obvious that you were leaving for some early morning swimming!"

"Well hop in!"

"Nah," she said taking a seat by the edge of the water. "I'll give myself some time to get used to it."

Lloyd submerged back under the water again. Sheena was still sort of waking up to the not-risen-yet sun, which could still be seen despite the size of Derris Kharlan floating in the air above them. Suddenly, Lloyd emerged from the water right in front of her and pulled her in.

"Yaah!"

The water was cold and it almost gave her a heart attack. She quickly recovered and swam back to the surface to see Lloyd laughing at his scheme that he just pulled.

"Hahahaha! You should have seen your face when…"

Lloyd was suddenly interrupted by Sheena dunking his head underwater. He came up spitting out water.

Now it was Sheena's turn to laugh. "Hahaha! That's what you get for pulling me in!"

So the two decided to just swim. After a while, they played water tag. With Lloyd pretending to be a shark trying to catch Sheena. But even in the water, Sheena still had more agility. They had forgotten for the moment about what lay ahead and just focused on swimming. After an hour, the bathing suit clad pair, just laid down on their towels, letting the just rising sun dry their bodies.

As they laid on their respective towels, Sheena decided to speak first. "So this will be it. The final battle."

"Yeah," replied Lloyd. "Everyone is counting on us."

"I'm glad we confessed our love to each other when we did."

Lloyd was a tad confused by her last statement. "What makes you say that?"

There was a bit of fear in the summoner's voice. "I say that because what if we don't make it back alive?"

Lloyd tried his best to reassure her. "Don't worry. You will make it back alive. We all will."

"Honestly Lloyd, I'm scared. I finally found someone I love. I don't want to lose you."

"Sheena, I promise you, we will live to see the regenerated world. All of us!"

Listening to Lloyd give her confidence made her feel so much better. He had always been there when she needed help. Like when she was injured and they helped her. Or when she was too frightened to make the pact with Volt. Also, there was the incident with Kuchinawa. He was the one who tended to her injuries after she was able to defeat him. And he had pulled through again here.

"I love you Lloyd."

"I love you too Sheena."

Sheena got up off her towel, laid down on top of Lloyd and planted on him a powerful kiss, one that told Lloyd exactly how she was feeling. A feeling of love, security and trust.

Lloyd wrapped his arms around his lover and began to kiss her back. He would give a gentle squeeze every now and then, which made her moan in her state of bliss. To Sheena's shock, Lloyd placed his hands on her butt. She broke off the kiss with a grin on her face.

"Heh, so that's how you want to play eh?" she said with a devilish smile on her face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present Time

"And one thing led to another. We got ourselves cleaned up and came back." Lloyd had just finished telling the story.

"I see," said Kratos. "So she played just as equal a role in this incident."

"Yeah, you could say that."

Kratos spoke up once more. "Lloyd. Do you know what's going to happen?"

Lloyd shot his head up. "Yeah. Sheena's going to have a baby in nine months. And I have to take responsibility as a father and do my part."

Kratos was impressed. "Good. Just remember, you can't get bored of this like you do everything else. This child will be something that both Sheena AND you have to play an equal part in raising it from beginning to end. Do you understand?"

Lloyd's face beamed up with the new responsibility placed in his hands. "You got it! I won't let you down! And I especially won't let Sheena down either!"

"Good, now go see her."

"Okay Dad," said Lloyd on his way up the stairs. "Say Dad. I just remembered something."

"What is that?" asked Kratos.

"You're gonna be a grandfather soon!"

"LLOYD!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lloyd went to his and Sheena's room. There he saw the beautiful summoner he loved lying in bed. Most of her colour had returned to her face by now.

"Hey Lloyd," she managed to say.

"Hey there." He took a seat on the side of the bed. "Quite the predicament we got ourselves into huh?"

"Yeah, you could say that," she replied.

Lloyd bowed his head down in sorrow. "I'm sorry this happened Sheena. It's all my fault this happened."

"Don't feel bad Lloyd. It wasn't just your fault. I have to take just as much blame for this as you do. It takes a man and a woman to create a baby. We're going to have a child in nine months, and you will be a father, and I will be the mother of our child."

"You're right. It'll be both our responsibility to raise this child as if our lives depend on it!"

"That's the Lloyd I know and love," said Sheena sitting up. "I know Dirk didn't take my sudden pregnancy well. How about Kratos?"

"Kratos took it rather well," said Lloyd. "He just wanted to make sure I knew what I had done and the responsibilities that are sure to follow. However, the fact he didn't take well was that he was going to be a grandfather."

This brought a laugh from Sheena. Lloyd just loved seeing her smile. It could brighten up anyone's day.

They could both hear Lloyd's stomach growl. "Heh heh."

"Yup. You're gonna be okay Lloyd," said Sheena getting out of bed.

"Hey Sheena. Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I'll be fine," she replied. "We need to get you something to eat or I'll be listening to your stomach all night!"

The two lovers went downstairs to make dinner.

And there's chapter one! This whole story will take place in and around Dirk's house. I may not update this very frequently, as my Evangelion fic is taking just the slightest bit more priority. Until then, be cool!
