"Selda!" Palladium shouted startled when as soon as they teleported into the wing, Griselda was coughing up blood. She carefully placed her student down in the nearby bed before grabbing her stomach and falling to the floor as she coughed into her hand. Almost instantly after his shout there was the sound of running footsteps as Ophelia ran to see who was in her domain.

"What happened?!" She demanded immediately upon seeing Palladium pick up his wife and gently set her in the bed next to Blooms.

"Selda was sent to talk with Bloom and when we noticed that she was using such a large amount of magic for such a simple assignment I went to check on her. I found her fighting with Bloom's adoptive dad, who is one of the two that did that to Bloom. When Selda and I were about to teleport back here there was the sound of a broom breaking and Selda was hurt. She was shot in the stomach, although they might have been aiming for Bloom since it was just an inch or two away from her." Palladium responded quickly while Ophelia froze for a moment before rushing over and running a scan on Griselda first.

"Ophelia? I-Is it-?" Griselda asked a scared look on her face when the nurse adopted a stony face.

"I'm sorry Griselda but it's too late to save it. It would have died the moment the bullet hit you in that particular area. You're not in any danger yourself though." Ophelia said causing Griselda to look horrified and heartbroken as she began to cry slightly, while Palladium was confused and worried. Ophelia quickly began to cast some blood clotting and wound mending spells over the brown haired woman who tried to hold back her tears for a moment.

"I-In that case make sure Bloom's alright. I ran a few of the healing spells I knew to stabilize her but…" Griselda said causing Ophelia to nod, giving Griselda a sympathetic look before rushing to check on the teenager.

"I'm sorry Palladium. I'm so sorry." Griselda began to sob as she turned and buried her head in her husband's chest. He instantly wrapped his arms around her, mindful of her stomach which would be tender for a while yet, and held her tightly.

"What's wrong Selda? I've never seen you cry like this before." Palladium asked softly while Griselda held her hands over her stomach, sobbing harder.

"I-I didn't even get a chance to tell you. I was going to af-after I got back from-from my talk with Bloom bu-but it's too late." Griselda cried while Ophelia was steadily working on healing Bloom's injuries, focusing on her task so as to give the two some semblance of privacy.

"Tell me what love? Is it something to do with your stomach? Were you ill?" Palladium asked utterly confused while Griselda shook her head from where it was still nuzzled in her husbands chest.

"No-no not ill…h-he or she is-is dead Palladium." Griselda choked out through her sobs while Palladium was just as confused as before, well actually he was more confused than before.

"I'll run and get Faragonda real quick, I'll need her help with Bloom's head. For what it's worth Griselda…I'm sorry." Ophelia said softly to the brown haired woman who nodded, not looking up at the nurse that quickly ran from the room.

"What's she sorry about? You getting hurt? It wasn't her that shot you though? And who's dead? You and Bloom both are going to be just fine, you'll see love." Palladium was completely and utterly befuddled at this as he continued to hold his crying mate and wife.

"N-No. P-Palladium. I-I don't know how to tell you this bu-but I-"Griselda was quickly cut off by Faragonda, Ophelia and Griffin bursting into the medical wing. Faragonda and Ophelia quickly ran to finish healing Bloom while Griffin went to Griselda.

"Selda…" Griffin trailed off, sitting next to her daughter on her bed as the brown haired woman looked up at her with teary eyes.

"P-Papa. I-" Griselda began before being cut off as her 'papa' drew her into a comforting embrace while Palladium was left completely and utterly confused as he stared worriedly at his crying mate.

"Shh. Ophelia told us. Does Palladium know?" Griffin asked holding her daughter comfortingly while Faragonda glanced over at the brown haired woman worriedly before refocusing on her task of healing her student.

"N-No. I-I just don't know ho-how to tell him." Griselda said sobbing lightly still and causing Griffin to shh her and kiss her forehead.

"I'll tell him for you then. It's going to be okay Selda it'll be okay…eventually. You'll see." Griffin comforted her daughter as she looked up and locked eyes with Palladium, discreetly casting a small sleeping spell on her distraught daughter.

"H-He'll hate me papa." Griselda said her eyes beginning to drift closed slightly, all her sobbing and the sleeping spell already taking their toll on her. Palladium looked shocked at her words before he quickly took his mate from Griffin and held her tightly.

"I could never hate you Sel. No matter what I will always love you." Palladium said kissing his wife's hair as he held her until she finally drifted off to sleep. He gently laid her down on her bed and made sure she was comfortable before looking at Griffin worriedly.

"What could be so bad Selda thinks I'll hate her over it?" Palladium asked a little scared of what the answer would be, causing Griffin to sigh as she stroked her daughters cheek for a minute before standing.

"Come on. Let's go outside and I'll tell you, that way we don't disturb Selda, Fara, or Ophelia." Griffin said looking at her daughter sadly before looking the elf in the eyes. Palladium gulped slightly at this but nodded as he cast one last worried look at his slumbering wife before following one of his mother-in-laws out the medical wing.

"G-Griselda told us about it yesterday. She was-was going to tell you today, this morning in fact, but you were away gathering herbs and the-and then we sent her to talk to Bloom cause we were too busy ourselves to do it." Griffin began, her voice wavering slightly and causing Palladium's worry to skyrocket, it wasn't often Griffin's voice wavered.

"T-Tell me what?" Palladium's voice shook slightly as he stared at his green skinned mother in law who stared him straight in the eye.

"Gri-Griselda was pregnant Palladium…and the bullet to her stomach killed the baby."
