Xenri was alone in her room when it happened. Well, she wasn't necessarily alone. A small, two-month-old child rested in her lap. Born prematurely, even with Cholanxis's reassurance that he would grow big and strong, her son was still so tiny.

But as she sat there, holding the young boy, Xenri had a sinking feeling in her stomach. She held her little boy close, unsure. Maybe it was her maternal instincts kicking in. She looked down at her son and shrieked.

He was still, his blue eyes dull. His skin was pale and clammy, his lips flecked with blue, and she could feel him breathing unevenly. "Kaen!" With the swift grace only she possessed, she dashed out of the nursery and to Cholanxis's room.

Dynilexs and Cholanxis had been making out when she had got there, Dynilexs tracing her fingers over the four jagged lines that ran across her boyfriend's face. "Cholanxis!" The healer looked up and saw Kaen, going into his 'business mode' as Dynilexs called it.

He took Kaen and set him on one of the extra beds, calling Dynilexs to help. Xenri dashed over, watching as the two held his arms and legs down gently. "What's the matter with him?" She asked, panicking.

"Seizures. Just a moment." As if on cue, the little child started to jerk around. Xenri was scared. She had heard about seizures. But she never expected to see them happen. Especially to her child.

After what seemed like eons, Kaen stilled again, but not in a way that scared his mother. And he started to cry.

Cholanxis nodded, and Xenri took him into her arms, gently tucking his head beneath her chin. She left, wordlessly saying her thanks as she went back to the nursery. She sat down in a rocking chair and slowly ran her fingers through his bright, flame-red hair. "Shh, Kaen. It's okay. You're safe." After a little while, the young boy fell asleep in her arms. And, unwilling to part with her child, she soon succumbed as well.

She awoke to someone gently shaking her shoulder. "Xen. Xen. Wake up, Xenri." She opened her eyes, cracking her neck, and saw her newlywed husband.

"Axel?"

"Yeah. I just got home. It's late, you know."

Xenri hadn't known. "What time is it?" She asked.

"About eleven-thirty." Axel replied.

"Last night. Kaen... he...he..."

Axel set a finger over her lips. "I know. Dynilexs told me." He gently pulled Kaen out of Xenri's grip. "Who would have thought..."

"It was so scary." Xenri blurted out. "Kaen... I didn't know what was wrong with him. And I was thinking I-"

"Xenri. Look at me." She slowly locked her eyes with his, losing himself in the emerald gaze. "Kaen's safe. Yes, he has seizures. But many people do. We can get through this. Don't be so scared." He pulled his wife into a one-armed hug. "I'll make sure to not take any overnight missions if it scares you so much." He murmured.

Xenri nodded. "Please."

"But remember. He's okay. We're okay. We're together. Someday we could be split. We have to enjoy the togetherness while we can."

And the three of them just stood there, relishing in the joy of being near each other.
