A Determined Love - Strain
******************************************************
An exhausted Selenay returned to the rooms she shared with her two friends.
"So what have you been up to Sel?" Tali asked mischievously. "You never turned up. The twins think you were out on a walk."
"Been busy." Selenay said shortly.
"Mmmm. So Leon told me. So have you told him about what happened." Tali said watching her friend worried.
"Yeah. Now all I have to do is tell Leena and Leon." Selenay said eyes reflecting a distant pain.
"Want some company?" Tali said gently.
"Na. Where are the twins?" Selenay said turning to go through her wardrobe.
"Alysia took them out to play." Tali said quietly.
"Sorry about leaving them with you guys so much. End of today I should be able to look after them and you guys can have some fun." Selenay said quietly leaning her head against the door of the wardrobe.
"Sel! The reason why we came here was to give you a holiday. The doctor ordered it and we are complying with his orders. Since the accident all you've ever done is work, work, work and stress, stress, stress. It's time to slow down and look at what you are doing. I know your brother's been mourning Xenallia's death but if you ask me two years is a mighty long time to mourn. When was the last time you heard from him? For God's sake the twins aren't even her kids!" Tali said crossly.
"It's been 6 months since I - What? What do you mean the twins aren't even her kids?" Selenay asked looking up.
"Their not Xenallia's. Their mine." Tali said quietly watching Selenay's shocked face. "I didn't want to have them but I didn't want to get rid of them. Tam wanted them so I agreed to let him and Xenallia raise them. They had been married two months when I found out. By that time Xenallia had also found out she had cancer and also couldn't have children. We had a talk and worked out that the arrangement of Xenallia being their mother in my place was a better arrangement. When you got saddled with twins I felt really bad - I felt so guilty and felt too ashamed to tell you. I watched you raise the twins and I realised I'd never be able to do what you have done with them. I'm sorry Sel. I have basically ruined your life. Please forgive me."
Selenay just stared pale faced at Tali. Now she knew why Taman hadn't been fussed or worried if the kid's would contract the cancer or the severe case of diabetes that Xenallia had had. Quickly she walked off to the shower to think over what had been said. 'This is going to be one long day.'

"Sel! Come in." Leena said her smile a tad strained.
"Thanks Leena. Is Leon here?" Selenay said her mask slipping.
"Yep. Over here. Why'd you want to talk to us?" Leon said from a comfortable spot on the couch. Selenay seated herself before beginning to speak.
"Leena. Leon. The reason I wanted to talk to you was because I feel I need to tell you of my late fiancé Damar. We were to be married 2 years ago. He died not long after the engagement. But first let me tell you about him - he was tall. 6'4 ½ in fact. He had medium brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. He was quite muscular. He had quite the temper when it was unleashed. He was quite a social butterfly, He was an all rounder - smart, sporty and you get the picture. He was very outgoing - never afraid to say what was on his mind. He was 5 years older than me when we were engaged. Damar was also a zoid pilot for the Republic army. He piloted a heavily modified Shield Liger. About 4 years ago he was asked to go on a mission. I asked him not to go because he was supposed to go with me to an event - I can't remember what now. But the main thing is we had a colossal fight about it - he went and was killed. We loved each other very much. But what I'm trying to say is that I'm falling in love with your father and I -"Selenay said.
"Selenay!" a voice snapped angrily. The trio turned to see an angry Alysia glaring at Selenay.
"Yes Alysia?" Selenay asked realising her head was beginning to ache severely, which meant she was about to have a blood nose.
"How could you do that to Tali? She's devastated and inconsolable. Apologise at once." Alysia demanded. Selenay looked at Alysia dully.
"Sel?" Leena said looking at the trembling Selenay. A trickle of blood slowly slid down her face.
"Selenay?" Alysia said moving anxiously towards her friend.
Selenay snapped out of her stupor, got up and fled.
"Oh God. I've gotta find Sel but I've got to look after the twins and Tali." Alysia muttered to herself trying to think.
"I'll help you find Sel. Leon could look after the twins again with Jamie's help. They know how to look after them better than I would. I'm sure Leon could help comfort Tali." Leena intervened.
"What. Ummm. Great idea Leena! Leon please go to the twins. They're in our room. Leena have you got a mobile?" Alysia asked turning her attention to Leena when Leon had left the room hurriedly.
"Yeah. Why?" Leena asked curiously.
"Because we are going to need to call an ambulance when we find her. The blood nose means her life can be in danger if we can't find her quickly." Alysia said anxiously.
"What?" Leena said startled.
"All the stress she's had over the past 3 or 4 years has caused a great strain on her body. The doctor ordered us to make sure she went on holiday so as to relieve the strain and stress. Obviously it hasn't worked one iota." Alysia uttered to Leena absentmindedly.
"What are we waiting for then?" Leena asked her impatiently.

End of this chapter. You'll probably think this one is real weird but anyway.
BTW- I do not own anything to do with the original zoids storylines and do not claim to otherwise.
