I did promise a part 2 a while ago, didn't I? Sorry about that delay, inspiration has been low and...I'm running out of prompts for these two! If you guys could send some that would be awesome.

I haven't had the time to work on most grammar mistakes, so more than just a few bypassed me I'm sure.

Also, anyone plays Pokémon? The sun and moon demo comes out in two days! I guess Pokémon has taken most of my hype and inspiration away, that is to blame, too. Heh.

Anyway, Fire Emblem not mine. Mhmm.

Elise wasn't sure about what was happening anymore. The day had blurred together in quick timelapses until sundown, everything too fast to remember or even think about it for more than just a second.

Kiragi's words, 'mother', are still creating a dull echo inside her head that makes her throat dry and her heart skip more than just a couple of beats.

She, a mother.

A mother.

There was doubt, and confusion. And while most of the army treated the subject with distrust she was just curious, very curious and, ashamed to admit, even hopeful.

Kiragi had explained it, Fujin Yumi being his most solid proof that quickly got him the trust of the Hoshidan soldiers of the army; It was impossible to duplicate a legendary weapon, much less use it.

The boy had a hard time explaining, and she had felt...what? Bad enough? Concerned enough? She doesn't know, but the urge to go to his side and squeeze his hand in reassurance had been strong enough for her to actually do it, and the relieved smile Kiragi had gave her literally stole her breath.

He definitely had Takumi's silent, relieved smile.

Kiragi had explained that, in the future he was from, the army had taken fatal blows before reaching the invisible kingdom, and the fallen dragon had managed to rise from Valla towards the continent.

Nohr had fallen not too long after the dragon's awakening, and the surviving soldiers had fled to Hoshido, barely a lump of a land that had been protected by a barrier made by Sakura.

"Aunt Sakura was Hoshido's main high priestess, she managed to build a magical barrier around Hoshido to repel Vallite soldiers, like grandmother Mikoto did. It worked for both kingdoms, but after a while..."

She doesn't wants to remember details of that talk, hearing how Xander had died defending his kingdom and had told his wife and child to run as he fought, or how Ryoma had been the first of everyone to die at the hands of the silent dragon, that Camilla had gone missing a few years after, that Leo died in the battlefield, that Hinoka and Sakura were pulling at strings trying to keep the only kingdom alive safe, that...

"That's why we're here." Kiragi said, giving her hand a light squeeze. "I don't know how it was possible, but grandmother Mikoto came to us in our sleep, or...death...and offered us the chance, and we jumped at it right away. We'll help."

He looked at her, and Elise realized with a start that he had Takumi's eyes. "And I will protect mom and dad, with my life if I have to."

Elise sighed, her face at least five shades of pink as she stepped inside the infirmary. Takumi had been awake for a while, not long enough to assist the makeshift war council hours ago, but enough to get fussy and impatient.

She couldn't exactly blame him, with a child claiming that they were his parents going around camp.

"Hey there." Elise smiled, though her mind was still elsewhere. "Bored yet?"

Takumi grunts, annoyance lacing his words. "I don't know why I was stuck in here in the first place."

"You kind of fainted in Hinoka's arms." Elise teased, and the groan that came from her friend was enough to make her giggle. "Can't blame you though, it was...shocking, really."

"What? Me fainting after surviving invisible soldiers, or the child that came from the future part?"

Her smile vanished, the ghost of it barely touching her lips. "Yeah, that…" She mumbled, and carefully walked towards Takumi, sitting at the end of his bed. "Your siblings and Camilla believes him, Most of the Hoshidan soldiers do."

"...Do you…" Takumi started, whispering the question that had been eating at him. "Do you believe him?"

Elise dipped her head, staring at some point of the floor. "...They pointed out we could have passed up as siblings." She mumbled, cheeks tinged pink and warm to the touch. "I can see it, and… and he looks like you, too. He has your eyes, and mannerism."

"He smiles like you." Takumi mumbled back, suddenly as interested in the floor as she was. "And pouts, he pouts like you do, has your energy, too."

"...Do you believe him?"

"...I… I don't know." He whispered, his hand gripping the bedsheets tightly. "I can't deny that he looks like...us, and the legendary weapon, I'm just…"

"Confused?"

"Very much."

"Me too."

The silence that ensues next is borderline awkward, the sound of the wind howling outside wasn't helping the situation any.

"You know…" Elise mumbled after a while, toying with her fingers and sleeves. "I never thought I would be a mom…"

Takumi frowned slightly. "I never thought I would be a father, either…"

"It's…"

"Surprising?"

The princess nodded, pulling at her sleeves nervously. "But, seeing Kiragi...I...I don't mind…"

Takumi blinked, turning his face to look at Elise rather slowly. Heat burning the tip of his ears as he saw how pink faced Elise had gotten. "Oh."

"You...You should have seen everyone's faces when, um, Kiragi finally said it." Elise cleared her throat, a nervous giggle escaping her lips. "I think Xander and Ryoma were about to have a heart attack."

"...Were they now?" The prince asked, a hint of humour lacing his nervous whisper. Why did the room felt so very small out of all sudden? "I'm not really surprised, not about them, at least."

"Camilla burst into tears." She kept going, there was definitely more cheer in her voice than just seconds ago. "Something about being an aunt, she kept pinching Kiragi's cheeks after that."

"Ouch. Poor kid." The sentiment was legit. He had received those annoying little pinches on his face more than just once.

"Same, he looked as if he wanted to bolt."

The following silence was amicable at best, only a lingering awkwardness feeling for a couple of seconds.

"...He really is our son, isn't he?"

"How...do you feel about that?"

Elise shrugged, muttering nonsense under her breath for a second. "I'm...scared, a bit. Confused, happy. I like him already."

"Happy." Takumi muttered back, a bit of surprise in his voice as his cheeks burned a soft red. "So, you don't…"

"Mind? N-No...not really." Elise answered, kicking her feet in the air for a few seconds before going completely still. "Would it be…"

"Hm?"

"Would it be a bad time to confess? Right now?"

"Confess? Are you saying…?"

Elise looked like a bright, pink tinted light. "I really like you."

Takumi felt as if all the air inside his lungs left his body in less than a second as heat started pooling all over his face. "You like me?"

"Really, really like you." Elise mumbled, and in a bit of a childish act, hid her face with her hands. Head still tilted towards the floor. "I-I have been feeling like this for a while."

Takumi opened his mouth to speak, then closed it and tried again. He tried to ignore the wild beating of his heart that seemed to want to break through his ribcage, or ignore the fact that he could basically feel his blood rushing to the very tip of his ears.

"I...see."

"Please, don't hate me." Elise whimpered, and Takumi felt a punch to his gut at hearing the ghost of a sob in her voice.

"I don't hate you." He said, a bit too quickly. He carefully scooted closer to the petite nohrian, and gently, very gently put his hand over her shoulder. "I couldn't hate you, so-please, don't cry. Okay?"

Elise shuddered, yet still managed a weak nod. "I-I'm just...I-I don't know. I'm feeling a lot of things."

"Me too." The archer mumbled, and despite how stiff his hands were feeling at the very moment, or how his chest seemed to be ready to burst, Takumi found it in himself to gently pull Elise's hands away from her face. "But that's okay."

"I'm so...so confused." Elise whispered again, her hands slowly leaving her face and resting on top of her lap. "But...but not in a bad way."

"That's good." The hoshidan nodded, and only stared as the nohrian princess rested her head against his shoulder. The girl looked as if all the energy she had had been used thanks to her emotional dilemma.

"...I really like you, Takumi." Elise muttered again, only slight embarrassment in her voice this time. "Even if you don't like me back, I'm just happy we're..."

Takumi swallowed, and gently took one of Elise's hands, yet still staring at some point in of the floor. "I like you too." He mumbled, and frowned a bit at how quick that had sounded. "I like you too, Elise. "

He had expected a gasp, or a stiff movement of surprise. Instead, Elise's petite form stood quiet, only her head moving to the side to stare at him with with tired, hopeful eyes. "You...do?"

"Yes." He answered with a nod, squeezing her hand a little. "How could I not?"

They stood in silence for a bit, both of them processing the other's words for a while. Elise opened her mouth to speak, but only a little giggle came out as Takumi gave an embarrassed smile in return.

"I'm glad Kiragi came." The princess mumbled, a smile on her lips. "I don't think I would have confessed without that push."

"Same here." Takumi nodded, though he honestly believed he wouldn't have said anything until Elise did first. "I'm glad he…"

"I'm glad he's our son."

"You are?"

Both jumped a bit at the unexpected voice. Turning back, they could see Kiragi standing by the door, hand still around the bronze handle and one of the biggest, Elise-like smiles on his face.

"Y-Yeah."

If Takumi had thought the child looked happy with just seeing them back in the battlefield, that was nothing compared to the expression Kiragi was pulling right now. His smile seemed to grow and he could see twinkles sparkling in his eyes.

"I'm...I'm so glad you guys think so!" The little archer almost screamed, barreling inside the infirmary and pretty much tackling both of his parents-to-be in a hug. "I-I was so nervous you guys wouldn't…"

The three stay in silence for a while, holding onto each other and wrapping their minds around the fact that they were, and will be a family someday in the future.

I will polish details sometime tomorrow, don't worry! Please leave your reviews and tell me what you think, and leave a prompt if you want!
