Kiddy Grade Time Mess

"You remember before I vanished how I had been taken by those scientists?" Dvergr asked looking at both of the women who immediately nodded while Dvergr settled Lumiere on the couch near Alv gently. Éclair had been frantic looking for her fiancée and had nearly torn apart three different planets, and that had been with Lumiere and the then called Quant trying to hold her back a little bit.

"Roughly three weeks after that…I…I noticed that I had missed my period. I…I learned that I was pregnant and I feared the worst." Dvergr said not looking at them, and making their eyes widen and they looked horrified on her behalf.

"I'll track down their descendants and kill em." Éclair growled dangerously as her arms shot out to wrap around Dvergr who leaned into the hug.

"That's why I ran. I was ashamed and horrified because I had thought that too. I ran and…I…I was going to get rid of the baby but I…I couldn't bring myself to kill her. I was going to put her up for adoption…then…then she was born and…she looked so much like you Éclair that I…I ran a blood test. I had never even thought that she could have been yours during the time I was pregnant." Dvergr shook her head slightly as Alv played with Lumiere gently, bored by the adult conversation that she wasn't able to understand at the moment.

"I don't blame you." Éclair said her voice soft and her eyes were understanding. She really couldn't blame the pink haired woman for running and planning to do such a thing. Not when it had been likely, almost a guarantee, that she hadn't been willing during the conception of the child.

"When the test came back…I… was so shocked and horrified and happy. I hadn't thought it possible that she was both of ours…and then when I realized that I had almost gotten rid of our baby…" Dvergr trailed off there as she stared at her daughter who was gently playing with Lumiere's tiny hands.

"I tried to find you after that. I promise you I did! But that's when the hunts started and I….I had to protect her. I had to hide and protect our baby girl. I couldn't let anything happen to her! By…By the time I found you again…Alv was full grown and you were in a medical coma after going against the Nouvlesse again." Dvergr said causing Éclair to frown a bit at that, it must have been some time after what she remembered. She wished she could remember everything so that she knew what Dvergr meant by rebelling against the Nouvlesse again.

"When you woke up…you had self-inflicted amnesia. You didn't remember anything…didn't remember me. Alv didn't know you were her papa, I never told her because I didn't want to get her hopes up that you would be involved in her life and by the time I had found you again she was grown enough to not need a papa. By that point she was resentful…She didn't want a papa anymore…and most of the time she acted like she didn't want me around either." Dvergr said the last part softly as tears began to sting her eyes. She had been so hurt the first time her daughter had called her by name, although at work it was necessary…and then when Alv lied about not having either of her parents or knowing who they were…Dvergr had cried into her pillow that night.

"And now? Do you think…she needs or wants her…papa…around now?" Éclair asked hesitantly as she stared at the little blue haired toddler who was smiling so happily and innocently as she played with Lumiere's tiny hands.

"Why don't we let her decide that?" Dvergr asked as she stepped over to her daughter and gently touched Alv's shoulder.

"Mama?" Alv asked looking up curiously although she did keep looking back down at the baby on the couch in front of her, safely cocooned in pillows to keep her from rolling off.

"Baby girl…I have a question for you. Do you want your papa around?" Dvergr asked seriously and making Alv look at her confused and upset.

"Of course I want papa round! Me and papa and mama and Lumi makes a family!" Alv said looking upset at the thought of her papa leaving and making Éclair step over and kneel down by the couch to smile at Alv brightly.

"Well then there's nothing to worry about little princess. Papa is here to stay and she's going to keep you and mama and Lumi all three safe from everything. Mama was just having a silly moment where she wasn't thinking straight." Éclair said smiling at Alv who smiled back but then tilted her head confused.

"But if papa 'tect us…who 'tects papa?" Alv asked curiously and making both of her parents look surprised while Eclipse coughed a bit into one hand to remind them that she was there.

"Why don't you leave that to me? After all, I am the only other G-class E.S. member at the moment. But you better name me godmother." Eclipse said causing Dvergr to look surprised but then smile slightly at her old friend gratefully.

"I was planning on it actually. Alv…this is your aunty Eclipse. She's the one who protects your papa and will look after you if anything happens to me and papa." Dvergr said smiling at her daughter who stared at the Chief who stood up and walked around the desk to kneel down near the couch.

"Hello there Alv. It's nice to meet you, officially at least." Eclipse said smiling gently at the little girl who stared up at her wide eyed for a second before glancing at the now cooing baby next to her.

"And Lumi?" Alv asked looking between her baby sister and her apparent aunty curiously.

"It's nice to meet Lumi too of course, but she's not able to talk yet so I said hi to you first. That'll be our secret okay?" Eclipse asked raising a finger to her lips playfully and making Alv smile slightly.

"Not good secret. Mama and papa know it." Alv whispered to Eclipse, although she wasn't very good at whispering yet, making Eclipse nod sagely with a fake serious look on her face.

She couldn't help but smile slightly though. Alv was too cute as a little one, as was Lumiere, and she had missed being the 'Aunty' to Lumiere. It was still strange getting used to being called Chief back when Lumiere had been full-sized, so she was happy to be 'Aunty' again.

At least this time she had two cute little nieces to spoil. As was proven with her next line that had Éclair rolling her eyes and Dvergr looking surprised.

"That's true. Tell you what…be a good girl and we'll go get ice-cream later and won't tell nobody. That'll be a good secret for just the two of us won't it?"

Of course if that meant she got to ditch her paperwork for a while then…well that was a very happy bonus.
