Hi guys! I'm back! Please, please, PLEASE, review and tell me if you want a Tiana story. (or not) Love you guys! :)

The next few weeks got better. They all moved back into their own houses, and most of the details were perfect, thanks to Keefe and Sophie's photographic memories. All of the saved animals were in their new enclosures, and Calla's tree still stood on the hill. Thank goodness they had been able to put out the fire before it reached their beloved Panakes.

Sophie was almost three months at this point, and she was still trying to go to Foxfire. She was currently struggling to stay awake in Elemenalism.

"Miss Foster and Miss Redek?"

"Yes, Sir Conley." They said.

"Would you please present your project?"

As Sophie got up, she knocked one of the vials off the table. It fell to the ground and shattered.

"Sorry." She mumbled and tried to clean it up, hissing as one of the pieces cut her hand.

"Are you alright, Miss Foster?" Sir Conley asked kindly.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said through gritted teeth.

He glanced at the wound. "I'll write you a pass to Elwin. You two will present tomorrow." He announced, then scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"Thanks." She said, and left to the Healing Center.

"Sophie! I haven't seen you in a while!" Elwin said cheerfully.

"Yeah. I cut myself in Elementalism, and I was wondering if you could just patch it up."

"Of course! There's a cot right over there." He pointed to the other room. "Might as well give you a full checkup."

Sophie went over to the cot and lied down as Elwin went to go grab his glasses.

Then, she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Elwin! I fell down the stairs and got a bruise. Can I have a pass?"

Elwin laughed. "Keefe. How do you and Sophie always end up here at the same time?"

"Foster's here?" He yelped. "What's wrong?" He rushed into the room, then laughed.

"You cut your hand? I thought you were, like, almost dying again!" He chuckled.

"Nah. I probably shouldn't take that risk, now." She said with a smile.

"Yeah." Keefe smiled and his face inched closer. "But I wouldn't be surprised if this little one is a try-hard, too."

"What little one?" Elwin asked as he came in the door.

Keefe jumped away from her, revealing their flushed faces.

"N-Nothing." Sophie said, her face warm.

Elwin looked confused, but didn't press any more. He just flashed colored blobs around her head, then her stomach. He looked confused for a second, then flashed the blob back to the previous color. He squinted closely at her stomach.

"I... uh... must be wrong." He mumbled, then switched it to a deep maroon shade.

As Sophie's brain registered what was happening, Elwin gasped.

Sophie's eyes widened and she sat up, trying to cover her stomach.

"Are you...?" Elwin whispered.

Sophie and Keefe looked at each other, panicked.

"It was probably nothing." Sophie said.

Elwin looked her in the eye. "Sophie. Please."

She bit her lip and looked at the floor, tears spilling when she nodded.

Keefe came over and hugged her.

Elwin looked at them. "And you're the... the dad?"

"Yeah."

Silence.

"Are you guys keeping it?" He finally asked.

"Yes." Sophie said, determined. "Please don't tell anyone."

Elwin nodded. "I won't, but if you're planning on hiding it, you should probably stop school soon. You're already starting to show.

She nodded. "I know. How should I get my work from the teachers, though?"

"I'll get your work." Keefe volunteered.

She hugged him tightly. "Thank you, but that might be too much work. Why don't you all alternate days? You, Dex, Fitz, Biana, Linh, and Tam can switch."

Keefe shrugged. "Maybe."

Elwin sighed. "Have you guys told your parents?"

"Not my dad." Keefe said. Even though Lord Cassius had caught them doing that, he didn't know Sophie was pregnant. And they hadn't gotten a chance to tell him, given that he was avoiding them at all costs. (*sarcastically* I can't WAIT to write that chapter... ugh.)

"You really need to. From what I saw, you're almost three and a half months pregnant."

"Yeah..." Sophie trailed off, doing the math in her head. Only five and a half months until the baby was born.

"Are you two going to go back to class?" Elwin asked. "Sorry. That sounded rude."

"No, no. It's fine." Sophie said with a smile. "We should get back."

Elwin bandaged Sophie's hand, gave them both passes, and sent them on their way, all while wondering what it must be like for them.

It must seem like they never get a break. He decided.

Hi! I figured i should probably ask you guys about name suggestions, even though they don't know the gender yet. Thanks! Please review, even if it is anonymous.
