Wedding Night Baby
Chapter 14
By XellAn-Chan
---------------------
Oh, Amelia! She's so cute!" Lina had Avigayl in her arms, "She looks just like you!"
The twins were two months old when they were christened. Their christening party also served as a celebration of Amelia and Zelgadiss's wedding and all their friends were once again gathered at the palace.
Filia and Milgasia had been married shortly after the twins were born and they were quite happy with one another. Valgaav, at three, was speaking in full sentences and proving to be a very intelligent child. They were a happy family and were very pleased with how their lives had turned out.
Val looked at Avigayl. Then he scampered back to his mother. "Momma?" He questioned. "What is it, Love?" He pointed at the tiny princess, "Will our baby look like that, Momma?" Filia's face flushed red as every one stared at her. Then she broke into a grin. "I was going to wait to tell you all, but Milgasia and I are having a baby!"
Frowning, Martina slumped down into a chair. "Sure," She huffed, "Spoil my good news." Zelgadiss looked up from Avuron. "You too?" He asked. The aqua-haired woman smiled. "Th beginning of Zomelgustar's empire is on the way!" The chimera blinked. "Right. Congratulations." Then turned back to his tiny daughter.
Avigayl was passed from person. She was a happy baby and easily warmed up to any one. Avuron was more fussy and Zel was leery of letting others handle her. He'd grown quite fond of her and hardly let her out of his sights.
---------------------
The royal chefs had prepared an immense banquet for them, which -of course- resulted in an argument between Lina and Gourry.
"That's mine!"
"It is not!
"I had it first!"
"Give it to me!"
"FIREBALL!!!"
Now normally, Gourry would've been fried to a crisp at this point. Normally. But nothing happened. Lina stared at her hands. "What's wrong?" Amelia blinked, "Is it 'that time'?" Lina frowned. "No...It should have been a while ago, but..." Her eyes lit up and she let out a scream of joy. "Do you know what this means?!" She tossed her arms around Gourry, "We're going to have a baby! You're gonna be a daddy!" He smiled. "Really?" She nodded eagerly. "All right!" He hugged her enthusiastically, food forgotten.
---------------------
They were all sitting around later in the evening, reminiscing about old times, when Amelia suddenly remembered something.
"Mister Xellos? What exactly is it you and Miss Slyphiel did the night of the wedding?"
"Ah." The priest smiled, "Miss Slyphiel provided quite the meal for me. I simply sat her down -with a bottle of wine- and gave her a massage."
"A massage?"
"It helped release her pain. All that wonderful self-pity flowed from her to me, leaving us both on a certain comfort level."
Slyphiel sighed in relief. "Thank Ceipheed. I was afraid you'd done something unforgivable." He smiled sweetly. "What kind of monster do you think I am?" Grinning broadly, he kissed his finger then planted it on the tip of her nose. "Later." He waved and teleported out of the palace.
Lina shook her head. "That man will always be an enigma." Then she grinned, "I'm so excited about this!" Her head was rested on Gourry's shoulder and -for some one nobody had ever imagined as a mother- she looked positively thrilled.
Amelia nodded in agreement. "It is exciting. Our children will all grow up together. And they'll be the very best of friends and live in peace and happiness!" The princess gushed. Lina's smile widened. "It's probably good Xellos left. Hearing that would've made him sick."
Amelia laughed. "I don't care! Life is wonderful!" She hugged Avigayl, while smiling at up at Zelgadiss. He had Avuron in his arms and was looking down at her with an expression on his face that could only be pure love. Yes, it seemed that life was wonderful...
---------------------
AN: and so my little tale wraps up.
...or does it?
i've definitely left it open for a sequel. i mean, i couldn't leave you hanging like this, could i?! stay tuned for the upcoming "Baby Boom" featuring the other couples' children!
