Chapter Nine: Question that's Best Left Unanswered

The girls waited for the guys to say something. Riven held Musa's hand and pulled her into the hallway, Sky and Bloom went to the battle bridge, leaving Layla and Nabu inside the room.

Tecna and Timmy heard their conversation through the intercom without the six of them knowing. It was Riven and Musa who talked to each other first.

"Why did you think I wouldn't marry you if I find out I got you pregnant? Musa, I'll marry you pregnant with our child or not. You gave birth to a person that's part me and part you, and just by finding out that you're alive and well with a daughter of my own, you made me the happiest guy in the world," Riven sighed and knelt on one knee. Musa couldn't contain her surprise that Riven would go to such extent.

"I searched and swept every realm there is to find you. You might think we missed Arcana, the place Megan and the other girls might call 'home', but we searched that one as well, days ago. You and the rest of the Winx were already gone by then. Anyways, I searched high and low for you so I could ask you this one question," Riven took out a ring and its gem was shaped into a G-cleft.

Suddenly, "Marry Your Daughter" by Brian McKnight echoed through the hallway. Riven made a mental note to thank the people in the control bridge.

Musa's lips curved to a smile, "A question that you already know the answer to." With that, Riven placed the ring on her wedding finger. Riven kissed Musa's cheeks and the music fairy blushed furiously but the embarrassment was then placed to one side when she and Riven kissed each other on the lips.


Tecna disconnected the intercom of the hallway for a while, husband and wife were grinning like idiots because of Riven's proposal. Sky, Bloom, Nabu and Layla heard Riven's confession and proposal because of the intercom.

"Is it true?" Bloom asked.

"Did you really leave because you'd think a pregnancy out of wedlock would cause me to lose my throne, Bloom?" Sky countered, shocking Bloom. "Look Bloom, I know you were scared but you could have at least told me and we could've dealt with it together."

"Dealt with it? Sky, that 'it' is our daughter, for your information!" Bloom yelled.

"Bloom, I meant the pregnancy and not Bianca. Heaven knows I'll do anything to keep you both out of harm's way. Riven was telling the truth; we did search high and low to find you and the rest of the Winx. We were frantic with worry, scared to death of what could've happened to you," Sky said, calmly. "Don't I have the right to be mad at you for keeping me out of our daughter's life for nine years and I missed out on a lot of that because of you?"

Bloom was speechless. She couldn't think of any response to that.

"Our parents knew and they chose not to tell me where to find you and figure it out myself. Bloom, even before you left, I got you this engagement ring," Sky said taking out a ring with a sapphire gem sticking out of the ring.

Bloom smiled, and whispered to Sky, "You, of all people, should know my answer to that."

Sky smiled as he slid the ring on Bloom's wedding finger and then he enveloped Bloom into a bone crushing hug.

"I love you, Bloom," Sky said.

"I love you, too, Sky," Bloom said.

When they let go, Sky was still smiling.

"What?" Bloom asked.

"Now, I have to surprises for Bianca. The first one is you and the second one is our marriage. I'll never let you go again, Bloom," Sky said.

"You better not," Bloom joked and they both broke into a laugh.


Timmy disconnected the battle bridge. He and Tecna was smiling widely. Musa and Riven started to make their way to the control bridge to help Timmy and Tecna.

"Is Leah okay? I'm assuming the girls already told you. Considering from what we heard from Sky and Riven they knew about Bianca and Megan," Layla said.

Nabu laughed, "Oh Layla, you never change. Always direct to the point. Our daughter's fine. She's at Alfea, protected by the Company of Light, Stella, Brandon, Flora and Helia. I wouldn't leave her alone if I could and she made me promise to take you back safely, and in one piece. And now, I'm going to fulfill the unspoken promise she made me make."

"And what would that be?" Layla asked with arms crossed in front of her but Nabu's answer wasn't what she prepared for. Sure, she listened to two proposals within the hour but, no one prepared her for this.

"Layla, when I was fixed to marry you, our parents knew I could take care of you. When Leah came into my life and I found out that she's our daughter, I promised her I'll marry you and we would have a happy ending just like the ones she dreams about in fairy tales. And besides, we were already planning our marriage even before you got pregnant," Nabu said, looking at the engagement ring Layla has on her wedding finger.

Now, it was Layla's turn to laugh

"Does that laugh mean our wedding is still on?" Nabu asked with a smile and Layla nodded.

Back at the control bridge, the door opened to Riven and Musa as soon as Tecna disconnected the intercom for the room where Layla and Nabu were. Musa raised an eyebrow at her best friend confusing herself because Tecna was smiling from ear to ear and so was Timmy.

"You two are scaring me, why are you smiling like that?" Riven asked.

"We're almost at Alfea, you guys. Of course, we'd be smiling like this. By the way, congratulations for the both of you from Timmy and me," Tecna said.

"Something tells me you guys know something we don't and should know," Musa said.

"Prepare to land. We're at Alfea," Timmy said, totally ignoring Musa's comment.

When they landed, they were greeted by Stella, Flora, Brandon and Helia. The girls were in an immediate group hug and the guys just smiled at each other. Stella noticed immediately noticed the rings on Musa and Bloom's fingers.

"Oh come on, we had it coming," Musa said with a light blush on her cheeks.

"Where are the girls?" Bloom asked.

"Check your clock, Bloom. Its nap time," Stella said, a-matter-of-factly.

"Oh, I forgot. It's past noon," Bloom said.

"I'm glad the eight of you made it back safely," Flora said.

They all beamed at each other. It was a time for a new beginning and a happy ending. The Specialists have the love of their lives back and perhaps even a new life...
