Wedding Night Baby
Chapter 8

Seven months and twenty-one days. It'd been seven months and twenty-one days since Zelgadiss had left Saillune. Amelia kept track, marking the days off on her calender. One month and nine days until she would have their baby. That's how long he had to get back and all she wanted was for his safe return.
------------------------------------------
When the last customer bustled out of her pottery shop one a chilly Friday evening, Filia locked the door and flipped the sign to "closed." She made one last sweep of the aisles to make sure everything was in place, then mounted the back staircase that went up to her home.
"Fi-Momma!" Val greeted her the top of the steps. She scooped him into her arms. "Hello, Little Love." He hugged her and grinned. "Ilga-Poppa! Momma home!" Milgasia came down the hall, a smile on his face. He removed Val from his mother's arms and took her in his. "How was your day, Darling?" She smiled. "Slow. The rush is over. We can go to Saillune now." He nodded and kissed her forehead. "We shall go tomorrow."
They packed up the wagon the next morning. Filia fastened Valgaav's warm cloak around him. His golden gaze flickered from the wagon, to Milgasia, to his momma. "Where go?" He asked. She smiled. "We're going to see the princess, Love. Poppa and I are going to tell her that we're getting married." He nodded seriously, his brow furrowed. Then he smiled. "M'kay." Milgasia laughed. "He approves, Darling. Let's go."
------------------------------------------
Are we finally going home?" Gourry asked for about the millionth time. "Yes! Why are you in such a hurry to get back to Saillune anyway?" He'd never been so impatient to do anything before. "I love you, Lina. And I want to spend some time just loving you." She stopped walking and looked up at him. "I understand. All this traveling, looking for Zel...It's been five months since we...Wow! I'll make it up to you, I promise." He smiled, looking relieved, and opened his mouth to say something when-
"Lina! Gourry!"
They both turned around. "Filia!" Lina exclaimed, "Where are you going?" Milgasia stopped the wagon. "We're headed to Saillune." The priestess told her. "Great! Care to give us a lift?" Lina couldn't believe their luck. They wouldn't have to walk all that way. "Climb on in." Filia said cheerfully.
Lina hoisted herself into the wagon and Gourry followed suit. Valgaav grinned. "Lee-na! Gooey!" The swordsman frowned. "Can't you teach him to say my name right?" His wife smiled. "Aw, come on. He's only little. Besides, it's cute." She turned to Filia, "why're you going to Saillune anyway?" The priestess smiled and blushed. "You know that Milgasia and I are getting married. Amelia hasn't heard yet. We thought it'd be nice to go see her and tell her in person." Lina nodded. "She could use the company. She's pretty bummed." Both Dragons looked at the sorceress. "Why?" Filia asked at the same time Milgasia said, "Isn't that very unlike her?"
"You haven't heard." The red-head went on, "Amelia's pregnant." Their mouths fell open. "Amelia's-" "-Pregnant?!" Lina nodded. "She and Zel had a little fling the night of our wedding." Filia looked very startled by this. "Did they get married?" The other girl shook her head. "He left the same day as the rest of us. She hasn't seen him in nearly eight months. But he's on his way back now." Filia looked pale. "Such a scandal!" She exclaimed. Her fiance smiled. "Darling, do not trouble yourself over it. They can take care of themselves."
