Disclaimer: Out of all the things I could own...ToS isn't one of those things. I do however own the pharmacy that magically appeared in Meltokio! XDDD

-

It could have been two in the afternoon when I woke up. It could have been six at night. Shoving all the pillows an blankets to the floor, I saw that Zelos had gone. On the table, he left a note:

Sheena, it read, thanks for last night. I'll see you in Iselia this afternoon! Love Zelos.

"Iselia..." I grumbled, rubbing my temples. Deciding I didn't have much of a choice, I got dressed and grabbed my backpack, heading out the door.

-

Zelos was standing right out front of Iselia, waiting like he said he would. "Hey! You made it!" He was all smiles. I smiled back.

"About last night..."

"Don't mention it." Zelos grinned, suggesting something like, You KNOW you liked losing your virginity to me, and entered the village.

-

After we made peace with the tyrannical mayor of Iselia, and we were on our way to Mizuho, Zelos became extremely serious and took my hand. "So...?" He appeared to have been waiting all day to ask this one-word question from the way his eyes glistened happily.

"So what?" I looked back at him.

His grin grew wider. "Are you?"

"Am I what? Start making sense!" I yelled.

"Are you pregnant?" Zelos giggled. He looked like a third-grade child, with that idiotic (charming) grin and immature, amused (tempting) expression.

He caught me off gaurd. "I, uh..." I blinked furiously. "I haven't... checked..."

"Ohhh!" He laughed so hard I thought he'd pass out. "Let's go, then!"

"But!" I cried hopelessly as he led me in the direction of Meltokio.

-

"There's the pharmacy." Zelos shoved me toward the door. He looked so genuinely exicted, waiting impatiently for me to go in of my own accord.

"But!" I whined again. "I don't want to!"

"Aw, c'mon, PLEAAAAASE?" he pleaded, shoving me gently toward the door again. I gave up and went inside, bought what I needed, and returned to Zelos' house.

As I stepped through the threshold, a whole new batch of memories came back to me. Zelos followed me all the way to the bathroom.

"You're not coming in, sicko!" I admonished as I went in and slammed the door. When I didn't hear him walk away, I figured he was waiting right outside the door.

His bathroom reeked of lavender and vanilla sugar. There were mirrors all over the place, on practically every wall, and they were making me dizzy. Actually, just the thought of being pregnant made me nauseous. Not like it was a bad thing... it was just... me, and ZELOS? Grandpa Igaguri wouldn't like it. Tiga wouldn't like it. Kuchinawa and Orochi would hate it. My village would hate ME! They'd call me a whore, a Chosen-loving suck-up.

There was a soft knock at the door. "Need some help in there?" Zelos asked.

"No! Pervert..." Rolling my eyes, I took the pregnancy test out of the box, and did what I had to do.

-

"How'd it go?" As I walked out of the bathroom, Zelos practically mauled me, smiling like a moron and circling me. I walked past him, stiff and pale. My blood ran cold, but I was sweating and felt like I had a fever. "Sheena, tell me! Tell meeee!" he begged. "Pleeeaaaseeee?"

"It..." My words caught in my throat, as did the air in my lungs. "...was..."

I stopped to think. What would this mean? My village would hate me, my friends would chastize me, and Zelos would...be happy? Maybe it would be all right after all, if Zelos - and I - were happy.

"It was positive." I finished confidently.

Zelos mauled me again, stealing my breath away in a kiss. "This is great, hunny! Ohmigosh-" he paused"-we have to tell Taro! And, and...your chief!"

"NO!" I was about a quarter of a second from brutalizing him. "Don't tell Grandpa."

Taken aback, he nodded slowly. "Okay...but can we tell Taro?"

"Who's that?" I tilted my head.

"That guy from the sewers, remember? He's my bud." Zelos grinned, and was suddenly reminded of the old group courtesy of the word "bud".

"OHMIGOSH, we have to tell Lloyd and the others!"
