"Well, There's good news and there's bad news." The doctor informed the young woman before him, "The good news is you're not sick."
"Oh, thank Ceipheed." She breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm so busy, I don't have time to be sick. ...Wait a minute...What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is, while you aren't sick, you are pregnant."
"I'm WHAT?!?!?!"
---------------------------------------------------------
Lina and Gourry, after an extensive honeymoon that included traveling the world, had finally returned to Saillune to settle down in the little house Amelia's family had given them as a wedding gift.
"Maybe we should go tell Amelia we're back, Gourry. She'll be happy to see us." Lina had sort of missed the hyperactive princess while they were away. Amelia had been almost like a little sister to her. "M'kay." Gourry was agreeable to anything. He was so happy that Lina had married him, he'd do anything for her; anything she wanted. If she told him to stop breathing, he would have tried his best to do it.
Something was different about Amelia. It didn't take a sorcery genius to figure that out. The princess looked tired and worried and overjoyed all at the same time and Lina wondered what was up. Amelia was sitting at the desk in her father's study, chewing on the end of a pen. A blank sheet of paper was spread before her and she appeared to be lost in thought.
"Um...Amelia?" The red-head wasn't sure if she should disturb her friend or not. "Miss Lina! Thank Ceipheed you're here!" Amelia burst into tears.
"What is wrong with you?" It wasn't like the princess to just start crying like that. there was usually some known reason for her tears. "Are you okay?" Gourry asked her.
"Oh, it's horrible! It's terrible! I'm pregnant!!" The princess wailed. "You're WHAT?!" Lina exclaimed. Gourry scratched his head, "What's that mean?" His wife smacked him, "Shut up, you idiot! Amelia, how?" The girl sniffled. "On the night of your wedding...Mister Zelgadiss and I did some very unjust things together..." She sort of trailed off. "Man, everybody was going at it! I mean, have you heard? Filia's marrying Milgasia. But anyway, where's Zel?"
"I don't know where Mister Zelgadiss is! That's the problem! And what do you mean, 'Filia's marrying Milgasia'?" Confusion was presently adding itself to Amelia's emotions. "Well, apparently, he asked her to marry him and she said 'yes.' I can't imagine it made Jillas too happy...but I'm glad for Filia."
Gourry's slow brain was still processing earlier parts of the conversation while Amelia and Lina talked about Filia. He blinked his blue eyes and scratched his head. "Wait a minute ...What does Zel have to do with this?" He asked innocently.The two girls gave him curious looks. Then Lina sighed in frustration. "You're hopeless. You know that, right? Zel has everything to do with this. Could you possibly get any dumber? You know all that...stuff...we do together?" He blinked again, "Yeah." "That's how you make a baby! Amelia's not having a baby by herself! Zel helped!!" There was a long pause. "Amelia's having a baby?" Silence. Then "ARRRGGGGHH!!!!!! How can you possibly be so stupid?!"
"Miss Lina!" Amelia broke in, "It doesn't matter if Mister Gourry knows what's going on or not! I'm going to be in big trouble. I need to get married before my birthday and who would want to marry me now?" Lina didn't even bat an eyelash. "Zel would." The princess choked out a sob. "Zel doesn't know. He left before I knew. He left the day you left and I don't know where he is!"
"Hmmm....That is a problem...Tell ya what. Gourry and I'll find him for you." Lina decided. "Oh, Miss Lina! You'd do that for me?" Amelia instantly brightened. "Of course I would, Ame. That's what friends are for." The petite sorceress reassured her. "Oh, thank you, Miss Lina!" The princess hugged her, "Justice has been served and now Mister Zelgadiss will HAVE to marry me!"
---------------------------------------------------------
And so the plot thickens...
How many people actually expected it to be Amelia and Zelgadiss? Let's have s show of hands, shall we? *counting raised hands* ...Ice-Kun, you don't count 'cause you already knew.
