Something Happened

You guessed it. I do not own Escaflowne *sob*. There I said it. So don't come to me with a bunch of lawyers. (But I do wish I did thought)



Now where was I? Oh yes. She's back. But for how long and hoe is Van going to react to having a child? Oh oh. Anyways here is chapter 3.

Chapter 3

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thoughts interrupted her happiness: how was Van going to react? Where was the baby? Was he o.k?

A soft whimper interrupted her thoughts. She turned to see what it was. There lied in a pack of leaves her beautiful baby. She had his father's eyes, (A/N: I looove Van's eyes) her mother's nose and her father's smile. She didn't looked troubled by the fact that she was in another world, she seemed almost like she was home.

"No that must be my imagination." Hitomi thought.

***Back to Fenelia***

Van was still running. He didn't want to get his hopes to high but he had to find out whether or not it was Hitomi.

"It has to be her," he thought. It had been a year and his councilors had already offered him 38 engagements and he had refused them all. So maybe he could ask Hitomi to marry him and everybody would be happy, especially himself.

Suddenly he opened his wings and flew. "Now he would get to you faster my love." He thought.

But as he approached he sensed another presence. It felt like he was sensing himself.

"Must be my imagination."

***In the forest***

Hitomi took her baby in her hands and started to sing. Her mother had sung to her when she was a baby so now she sang to her baby. The melody was calm and soft so the baby would drift to sleep. When the baby was asleep she looked up in the sky and saw a pearl-white feather landing on her face.

-Van? She whispered.

She looked up again and saw a dove. It had beautiful white feathers.

Suddenly, the bird fell down. Hitomi ran, with the baby asleep in her hands, to the bird. It had been shot.

"Poor little thing" she thought. She put the baby aside and examined the bird.

***Van***

Van had been looking at a bird that, somehow had as white as his. He felt like he had to follow it. When suddenly the bird disappeared in some trees he got confused for a while and he wondered why he had followed that bird.

Suddenly an arrow was shot at him. He ducked and it went where the bird had landed.

Something inside him told him to go save it. "Why" he wondered. But he just went anyways.

He landed a bit far of the place because he had herd noise.

If it were one of his councilor's servants he would be done for it.

***Hitomi***

When Van landed (A/N: She doesn't know it's him thought) she heard a little noise that made her jump.

-Who is it? She asked in the dark.

"Hitomi?" thought Van.

-Hitomi? He asked.

-Van? She answered?

-Hitomi!

-Van!

They ran into each other's waiting arms.

-Oh Van, how I missed you.

-So did I Hitomi, so did I.

They were hugging each other when Hitomi thought about the baby.

-Van?

-Yes?

-There is something I have to tell you.

-Not now. Let's go to the palace first and celebrate you're return.

-Ummm, first I have to go get something.

Hitomi ran to her baby and covered the baby's face.

-What's that? Van asked.

-Oh.ummm just something we do on earth, carrying stuff in leafs.

-Weird.

They flew all the way to the palace.

***At the palace***

-Merle!

-Lady Hitomi!

-Look's like someone's happy. Said Van smiling.

The girls went to a room where nobody was.

-Merle?

-Yah?

-I have something really important I have to tell you.

-What? Merle was getting scared of her sudden firmness.

-Well.

-WHAT? And what is that in you're arms? Screamed Merle getting impatient.

Then, the baby started to cry.

-Oh it's a baby! Exclaimed Merle.

-Well she's the really important thing I have to tell you about.

-It' a girl? Cuuuute! What' her name?

-Merle.

-What? That's MY name.

-I named her after you. Cause she so curious, just like you.

-You named her? That means. Huh!!! Who's the father?

If Lord Van learns bout this he gonna. I don't even know what he' going to do.

-Well first of all he is the father and I need you not to tell him.

-Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. (A/N: Sorry I believe in only one god so that's why I say "god" and not "gods". Sorry.)

-Calm down Merle.

-Are you going to tell him? I mean he has to know he's a father, I mean, common.

-Well of course I'm going to tell him but only when the time seam's right.

-Okay. I won't tell but you have to promise me that you are

going to tell him.

-Okay.
