The only sounds that floated into Fate's ears were the obnoxious beeping of a heart monitor. Her body had no intention of moving, her muscles pulsing in warning to remind her of sleep. She kept her eyes closed as a hand brushed against hers before wrapping itself around it. A gentle squeeze grasped at Fate's heart in a warmth that told her everything was going to be okay and a pair of lips pressed against her forehead.

She took a deep breath and the moment the soft, drowsy scent of warm milk and honey reached her, she knew that it was Destiny. She laid her head on top of his, which was resting on her shoulder, and kissed his forehead as she enjoyed the soft tickle of his fur against her neck.

Destiny's head snapped up almost instantly before he smiled softly, sitting up straight. Fate could barely feel anything from her waist down and when she shifted to try and face Destiny, a familiar pain shot across her stomach. It was followed by a recently felt urge as she inhaled sharply, trying to subdue the pain.

She felt Destiny caressing her cheeks and rubbing the back of her hand in comfort as he mumbled to her, telling her to relax and that she was safe in the guild's infirmary. It made her remember what Callias said and she slowly opened her eyes, instantly meeting the worried eyes of Destiny, even if his figure was blurry beyond belief for her.

When Fate's eyes focused, her mind soon followed and she suddenly had a thousand questions, but she paced herself.

"How am I at the guild with everything that happened?" Fate asked softly, her voice hoarse even with the volume she was talking at.

"Our groups found each other and Akina used a Magic Item that Mira gave to her. She, Namine, Cass and I were sent out to find out what happened to you and your group since you were taking longer than you should've been." Destiny explained. His voice was just a soft as hers had been.

"Jered and Tristan... where are they?"

Destiny went quiet for a moment, worrying her.

"Jered is speaking with the Master right now and Tristan is explaining everything to everyone else. Don't be surprised if no one believes what either of them decides to say." Destiny replied.

"Yah, I know... As long as he's not dead, I'd say that things are sort of going right for now." Fate sighed. Destiny sighed straight after.

"Fate..." Destiny took a deep breath. "You went into labour and... in order for you to make it back to the guild, Tristan let—"

"He let Jered turn me into a vampire, I know. You smell better than usual."

Destiny let out a low chuckle as he shook his head.

"Are you okay with it?" Destiny asked anxiously. Fate nodded.

"There's not much of a difference in my life..." Fate replied.

She suddenly realized that there really was a huge difference in her life coming along and she instantly sat up, ignoring the pain in abdomen. Destiny tried to push her down, but she only grabbed his shirt roughly.

"What happened to Micah, is he okay!?" Fate asked, slightly shaking Destiny.

"Of course he is! I wouldn't ever let anything happen to him. Ethan is taking care of Micah's egg right now, I promise." Destiny replied.

Fate sighed in relief as she fell against him, a huge weight taken off of her shoulders. Destiny wrapped his arms around her in order to hold her up and keep her from falling, sighing softly.

"But..." Destiny mumbled, trailing off. Fate pulled away slightly, looking up at him in worry.

"What happened...?" Fate asked nervously, the worry in her eyes evident. Destiny took a deep breath and exhaled softly.

"There are 2 things that I need to tell you because if I don't, you'll get really caught off guard. They both have something to do with Micah."

Fate's breath nearly hitched, but she nodded her head nonetheless and waited for what was going to be said, even if Destiny seemed unsure of telling her.

"It's not only Micah."

Fate didn't know what to think or feel since the small sentence had many meanings.

"What do you mean...?" Fate asked softly, honestly confused. Destiny took another deep breath.

"You were pregnant with a pair of fraternal twins." Destiny replied, the tone of his voice very low.

Destiny could almost feel Fate's heart dropping from how her shoulders tensed for a moment and then just fell, becoming frozen at the spot that they were in. He suddenly felt her shake a little and held her tighter as he looked down at her, feeling horrible when he realized that she was crying. He was about to drop the whole subject when he heard her laugh through her tears.

"Are you okay...?" Destiny asked softly, gaining a nod in reply.

"It's just funny to me... fraternal twins seem to be common in this guild." Fate replied, smiling up at him. Destiny smiled back, partially in relief that she was okay, and watched as she rubbed at her eyes, wiping away her tears. "What's the 2nd thing?"

Destiny sighed.

"It's pretty obvious. Since you were turned into a vampire while you were still pregnant, the kids got turned into vampires as well..." Destiny replied, making Fate nod in understanding. "Oh, and uh... there's one more thing about your little girl..."

"What is it?" Fate asked, resting her head on Destiny's shoulder. She was just tired and wanted to rest for a little while longer.

"She's a mix of 3 different things... an Exceed, a Vampire and a Demon..."

"Figures..." Fate sighed.

Everything was silent for a moment.

"What are you going to name her?" Destiny asked out of nowhere, catching Fate off-guard.

"I-I don't know..." Fate replied, suddenly thinking of every single girl name that she could, but none of them seemed to fit alongside Micah's. She smiled at a sudden thought. "Why don't you think of a name?"

Destiny seemed to jump at the offer, instantly shaking his head.

"I'd choose the most horrible and weird name." Destiny stated.

"Can't be as bad as some of the names I've heard." Fate laughed, Destiny laughing soon after.

Fate hadn't thought of having twins, especially since Mira told her that she'd have a boy. It made sense from how much both of the kids had kicked, even though she had just thought that it was Micah. She wanted the name to start with an M like Micah's, but couldn't think of anything because she wanted it to start with an M.

'God, why are names so confusing?' Fate thought, sighing.

"Oh... and there's one more important thing that I kind of have to tell you. It's off-subject, but..." Destiny trailed off.

"What's going on?" Fate asked, knowing that something was wrong from the tone of his voice.

"Jered told all of us... because he didn't die at the hands of someone named Callias, the Seekers of Nothing will probably track him down. Guess what Tristan did? He said that because Jered just wanted to save his little sister that he'd get together a group to help him get her back."

Fate let the information sink in, sighing at Tristan's offer. He just went off from the top of his head like he always did, he really hadn't changed over the last 14 years.

"So basically, we're going to storm straight into a war with the Seekers of Nothing if we're not careful." Fate sighed.

"More like if we're not humble." Destiny corrected with his own sigh.

Fate shook her head at the correction, knowing that it was true and absolutely stupid. She wasn't in the mood for going straight into the war, especially since she had a pair of twins to take care of. It brought her back to thinking of a name and she instantly thought of her Grandmother's middle name, making her smile. Just twisting it around and adding a new last name... it felt nearly perfect.

"Marceline..." Fate mumbled, catching Destiny's attention.

"Huh...?" Destiny asked softly.

"Marceline Jade Konno Seo, Marcy for short. Is that a good girl name?"

Destiny took a moment and then smiled.

"That's sounds perfect."
