Wedding Night Baby
Chapter 7
By XellAn-Chan
----------------------------------
Slyphiel was still pondering over what she and Xellos could have possibly done. She prayed to L-Sama every night that it wasn't what he'd implied. The thought of that made her skin crawl. But if not that...What then? What could they have possibly done that made them both so "comfortable?" He easily could've taken advantage of her; she'd been in a very incoherent state.
She spent a lot of time in the palace with Amelia, the two of them turning ideas over in their heads about what could have possibly transpired between herself and the priest.
Slyphiel was quite sympathetic towards the princess; the more time that went by, the more anxious Amelia became.
"What if he doesn't get back in time?" She sobbed one day, "What if he doesn't come back at all?" The priestess never knew quite what to say, so often she just listened to Amelia's ramblings, offering her moral support.
----------------------------------
Zelgadiss was beginning to get bored with wandering around. He'd stopped looking for a way to remedy his curse. It, for some reason, didn't seem so important any more, knowing he'd lost Amelia. He wondered on a regular basis what she was doing; if she was happy with Justen.
"There you are!" Lina again. She sounded angry. "We've been looking all over for you!" He blinked his cobalt eyes. What did they want with him? "Why? You're supposed to be in Saillune." He growled. "Amelia wanted us to find you." She retorted. "Why is that? Isn't she happily married to that prince? Why should I matter?" Lina looked confused. "What? No, Zel, Gracia married Justen."
"Gracia?" His eyes widened. "Yeah, Gracia. And Amelia really wants you to go back, because," She bit her lip, contemplating what to say, "Because she's pregnant."
Seconds passed. Then minutes. Then finally, "Amelia's pregnant?" Zel's voice was disbelieving. "Yes." The sorceress nodded. "Pregnant?" Another "YES!" on Lina's behalf. He looked stunned. Then a thought occurred to him. "Am...Am I the father?" Lina grinned. "That's what she says. Congratulations." His usually slit-like eyes became very wide and his mouth fell open. "Oh, Dear God..." He whispered, "Amelia...What have I done? I've got to go back!"
Gourry smiled vacantly. "Can we go home now?" He asked his wife. Lina grinned, "Wouldn't you rather have something to eat first?" He nodded vigorously. "Of course!" He agreed. "NO! No, no, no!! No time to eat! We've got to go!" Zelgadiss insisted. "You go on ahead. She's waiting for you. But we've worked hard to find you and we deserve a good meal." The sorceress dismissed him and he sped off towards Saillune.

AN: ahhh...they finally caught up with Zel! but this doesn't mean the story's ending soon...nope, there's a bit more to go!
