S.J. Coppock - I wonder if Deep Snow and Lucia were even aware of their relation... haha. But if I were Lucia and I knew that would make me mad enough to through someone over a balcony
schyra - Your name is hard to spell. Anyway, King never rescued Lucia cuzz he thought he was dead.
Puppylove7 - I guess I don't have any reply then...
Chapter 9
"Hey, Sieg" Haru poked at the sorcerer.
Irritated, Sieg shut his book at looked up at the Rave Master "What, Haru?"
"I thought you said if Lucia was lonely and wanted help he'd go to me?"
Sieg thought back a ways and remembered saying something along those lines "And?"
"You lied"
"Haru, the only thing I actually said was a fact was that he'd have gone to you already if he wanted to"
There was a moment of silence, then "oh"
"What brought this about anyway?" Sieg asked as he opened his book back up and searched for his page.
"That" Haru pointed to a couch where Lucia and Belnika sat together talking about something to quietly to be audible from where Haru and Sieg were.
Sieg watched the two of them silently for a moment before shrugging "Well, that's good for him"
"That's it?" Haru almost sounded disgusted "Lucia is getting friendly with someone and that's the most interest you show in it?" Sieg didn't bother to respond. Truly disgusted, Haru moved a little closer to try and overhear what they were talking about.
"S-stop it. It feels weird." Lucia had a faint blush that Haru hadn't noticed from the other side of the room.
"Come on, Lucia. It's completely normal for people to feel your stomach when you're pregnant. It's not like you're fat" which she said in an honest voice with a straight face "You're just having a baby. Please, can I feel it kick? I can't have a kid of my own after all the experiments I went through, so it's the closest I could come."
A mild look of pity flashed across Lucia's features, but he covered it quickly "F-fine. I-if you really want to that m-much." He looked over at the wall.
Belnika reached forward and set her hand on Lucia's round stomach "She's not moving…" Belnika had decided the baby was a girl.
"It's… a little higher up"
"Oh!" Haru had never seen Belnika look more excited than she did right then "I felt it move! Lucia, I felt the baby move! Oh… you're so lucky!"
Lucia laughed and looked back at her. He smiled. Unlike the other rare occasions were he had a genuine smile on his face, this one stayed there.
OXXXXXO
Rune Caster: Guess which paring I decided to go with for this fanfic? It's just to sad when the preggy guy ends up alone, after all.
Btw, there's currently a Lucia vote, a Haru vote, and a whichever vote for who keeps the kid. If you haven't voted yet, please go to chapter 7: notice and do so.
