When they arrived back to the house Irene and Minerva both carried their loved ones inside.
Irene had told Minerva that Yukino needed to be in a bed so Minerva took Yukino to a guest bedroom while Irene carried Erza to her bedroom.
When they got there Irene laid Erza on the bed then she looked at Erza's wounds. She then frowned when something dawned on her.
"If I hadn't answered that call from your friend, I would have never known where you were."
Irene sat on the side of the bed and caressed Erza's cheek then she kissed Erza's forehead.
"At least you're safe now."
With that Irene got the medicine kit and began to tend to Erza's wounds. From time to time she would hear Erza wince and cringe in pain.
When she was done, Irene left out of the room to check on Minerva and Yukino.
When she saw them she saw that Minerva was sitting on the side of the bed while Yukino laid on her back and was looking at Minerva who was looking at her stomach.
"Is it almost time?"
Minerva looked at her.
"I'm not certain but Yukino just informed me that they had drugged her to speed up the process."
Irene nodded then went to feel Yukino's stomach then she narrowed her brow.
"Do you feel tightness or pressure?"
Yukino looked at her.
"Yes."
Irene frowned then looked at Minerva who looked at her.
"Yes?"
"The baby is coming. We won't be able to take her to the hospital so she'll have to give birth here."
Minerva nodded then Irene left to get the things that she would need for the baby.
When she came back to the room she parted Yukino's legs and Minerva leaned over Yukino and held her hand.
"It's going to be alright, Yukino."
Yukino looked at her.
"I'm scared."
Minerva leaned closer to her so that their heads were touching.
"It's alright. I'm here with you."
With that Irene looked at where the baby was coming out of then spoke.
"Alright Yukino, push."
Yukino did as she was told and began to push the baby out.
The beginning of the process was enough for Yukino to whimper as she pushed but then her whimpering turned into crying. She squeezed Minerva's hand tighter as she pushed more and Minerva was encouraging her to keep going.
After a couple more pushes Yukino cried out in pain and Minerva held her down to the bed.
For Minerva it hurt to watch as the one she loved was suffering through giving birth to their child.
"Come on Yukino, you can do this."
"I can't."
"Yes you can. You're going to be a mother tonight."
The process went on and it got to the point that Yukino was crying and begging for the pain to end. Minerva had to hold her down to the bed while Irene sat between Yukino's legs and was waiting for the baby to be completely out.
"Come on, one more push."
After that last push Yukino's body went limp and Minerva looked at her.
"Yukino…."
Just then they both heard a small baby cry. Minerva looked behind her to see Irene holding a newborn baby in her arms.
Minerva couldn't believe it. All her life she had only seen be killed either by her or by other assassins. Fir the first time, she had witnessed life being born.
Minerva then looked at Yukino who smiled at her.
"Go ahead, this is your child too."
Minerva nodded then went to see her child. Irene handed the baby to Minerva and Minerva was a little nervous about holding the newborn. She looked at the baby in her arms as it cried but after a couple of moments the baby had stopped crying and looked up at Minerva.
Minerva saw that the baby had hazel eyes and black hair. Minerva also saw that the baby was a girl but to her the baby was perfect.
Yukino looked at Minerva.
"Minerva, what did we have?"
Minerva smiled at her.
"We have a beautiful daughter."
Minerva went to Yukino and showed their daughter to her. Yukino smiled as she looked at the baby then she looked at Minerva.
"What should we name her?"
Minerva looked at her daughter then she looked at Yukino.
"Well, something as perfect as she is."
Yukino smiled.
"Well you treated yourself as a king when I first met you."
"And you became my queen as time went on, which makes our little one a princess."
"Well, got anything?"
Minerva looked at the baby in her arms and smiled.
"Yes. Our little princess will be named Saryth."
The baby, now named Saryth smiled as she reached up to touch Minerva's face. Mienrva smiled then looked at Yukino.
"You should rest, I'll watch Saryth."
Yukino nodded then Irene and Minerva both left out of the room to the living room.
Irene watched as Minerva played with her newborn baby. The baby was laughing as she was getting her stomach blown into. To be honest Irene felt a little jealous, that was something she missed.
She missed holding Erza and playing with her but when it came to her being a high ranked assassin she didn't want Erza to reject life so she forced herself to give Erza up so that Erza would be happy.
She then looked at Minerva.
"Minerva?"
Minerva looked at her.
"Yes?"
"What were you expecting from Yukino?"
Minerva laid Saryth on her lap then looked at the floor.
"I thought that Yukino would reject both me and Saryth but since she kept Saryth I thought that she was going to keep Saryth away from me."
"But she didn't."
Minerva nodded then Irene looked at her.
"How did you and Yukino meet in the first place?"
Minerva blushed.
"We were in the same building but different schools. She was in Sabertooth while I was in Succubus. At the time I was arrogant but that changed when I began to notice Yukino stalking me."
AN: There is that chapter and the next few chapters will all be flashbacks of what happened to Minerva and Yukino. Then the following of Irene and Erza! Thanks for reading and I will update soon!
