"Lina, we're never going to find Zelgadiss like this. We don't even know where he went when he left. He could be anywhere..."
"I know that, Gourry...But I promised Amelia and he's gotta take a little responsibility for this. Now c'mon!"
"But I'm tired. And hungry. And you promised after we got married we'd stay at home for a little while at least."
"This is more important. Amelia shouldn't be dealing with this alone."
"But Lina..."
"Fine, we'll stop to eat."
-----------------------------------------------
And where was Zelgadiss? Hidden away in some little hamlet where no one would see him. He'd overheard a couple of travelers from the Saillune area talking about the recent
marriage of the princess and Prince Justen Turbopascal, and of course he assumed they meant Amelia had married him. Little did he know, Gracia had married the winsome prince and Amelia was pinning away, waiting for Zelgadiss to return to her.
He sat at a corner table in a small restaurant, nothing but a mug of coffee in front of him, lost deep in thought when he heard a familiar voice.
"At this point, anything would taste good."
Lina's voice! He recognized it right away. What in the nine hells was she doing there? She was supposed to be in Saillune with Gourry, happily married and NOT in an area remotely near him.
The waiter sauntered over to the table, bringing another pot of coffee. "You're coffee, Sir...Sir?" But the Chimera had vanished...

"I don't understand, Miss Filia. Why are you marrying Milgasia?" Poor Jillas was heart-broken. He'd loved the priestess for a long time, and always hoped he'd be able to work up the courage to tell her so. And now she'd told him she was going to marry Milgasia. How could she do that to him?
"I told you, Jillas. I love Milgasia. He asked me to marry him and I intend to." Filia didn't understand why the fox was having so much trouble comprehending this. "But what about me, Miss Filia?" She sighed. "You've been a big help. But Valgaav needs a father. You can still work here; that won't change. Milgasia's going to be taking care of Val and be his poppa, but I'll still need help in the shop."
Milgasia appeared in the doorway then, Valgaav in his arms. "Filia, Darling, have you told Amelia yet that we are to be married? Since we couldn't attend her sister's wedding, I don't believe she's heard the news." She took the child from him. "No, Milgasia. I haven't sent word to her. Perhaps we should go visit her?" Val grinned, reaching his arms to the dragon man. "Poppa!" He squealed.
Jillas frowned. He didn't like hearing Val refer to the dragon as "poppa." And he didn't like the fact that "Darling" was Milgasia's pet name for Filia. He didn't like anything about it. And he knew Filia didn't care about him the way he cared for her. How he'd love to "accidentally" kill Milgasia...
"Jillas, do you think you can handle things here if we go to Saillune?" The sound of Filia's voice brought him back to reality. He frowned again, his eyebrows knit together. "I think it's time I leave here." He said softly, "I believe I should go out and make something for myself. I need to make it on my own." Filia blinked. The fox had never spoken like that before. Puzzled, she watched as he slumped out of the room.
"What do you suppose is wrong with him?" She asked Milgasia. He smiled sadly. "His heart is quite broken, Darling. You meant the world to him and now you are marrying me." Filia's eyes widened. "Was I that important to him?" She asked quietly. "Darling, he'd go over the moon for you." He informed her. "I feel really bad now. I never knew." He pulled her into his arms. "Don't fret over it. He'll be fine." She half smiled. "I hope. But if he leaves, we can't go to Saillune now. It's the busy season for the shop." He nodded. "We will go when the winter rush is over."
And Val sat in his mother's arms the whole time, grinning happily. "Ilga-Poppa! Fi-Momma! Huuuuggg!!!" He chirped.
-----------------------------------------------
Amelia was standing on the balcony that overlooked the kingdom of Saillune. Her eyes were focused on the city's gates, as if she was willing Zelgadiss to come back. It had been five and a half months since he left and she missed him terribly.
Sighing, she settled into a lounge chair on the balcony, her hands rested on her growing abdomen. She couldn't believe there was a baby inside her, much less Zelgadiss' baby. What would she do if he didn't come back?
She rubbed her belly. "I'll still love you, Baby, Mister Zelgadiss or no Mister Zelgadiss..." She assured the unborn child, "...But I do wish he'd come back..."
