Disclaimer: I don't own the Oscar Mayer bologna jingle, nor the Little Rascals love song Sara sings. I do own the newest additions to the family, Liela Anamaria Telcontar and Vincent Alan Telcontar, hereafter known as Liela and Vinnie.

Author's Note: It took twenty-one chapters, but it's done! Tune in for the next adventure, Sara and Faythe in "Africa is for Loo-vers!"

Chapter Twenty-one

Bologna, Love, and Babies

Sara climbed the stairs, the others following in her wake. She pulled the door to her room open and pointed to the couch. "Sit." When they had sat down, she shut and locked the door. "Now then. We are going to figure out what is going on. Faythe, what gave you the idea that I was pregnant?"

"Hiei said you weren't feeling well…"

Sara's ear twitched. "Did it ever occur to you that I'm, oh, I don't know, SICK!"

"You're a demon. You can't get sick."

"There are plenty of things I can catch, Faythe. The Makai flu, fox fire, and, not to mention, any human disease. I do have human in me. Not a lot, but enough."

Kurama and Hiei stared at her. "You think you have fox fire?"

Sara shrugged. "I didn't say I had it. I said it was possible."

"What is fox fire? Is it contagious?" Faythe asked.

"That depends. You can't catch it, and Hiei can't catch it. Kurama already had it. Seeing as how you can only catch it once, you're all fine," Sara explained. She shuddered. "Let's just say…it's not fun, okay?"

Faythe shrugged. "Whatever. So…you're not pregnant?"

Sara glared at her. "No."

Faythe sighed. "Too bad. Our kids would have grown up together."

"I'm not sure I want my kids to play with your kids," Hiei said angrily. HE was still pissed that she'd led him to believe that Sara was pregnant. And worse…that Kurama was the father.

Faythe made the mistake of hitting Hiei upside the head. "I take insult from that."

Hiei grabbed her and threw her against the wall. "Owww…"

Sara whirled on Hiei. "Apologize."

"No."

Sara grabbed him by the throat. "I told you to apologize." She drew her hand back and rather sharp claws appeared. "Now."

Hiei's eyes got wide. "I'm sorry."

Faythe stood up, smiled, and brushed off her shoulder. "That's okay. No harm done." She doubled over. "Oh my God!"

Sara's eyes flashed. "What did you do to her!"

"I didn't do anything to her!"

"Well, there's something wrong and you're the one who threw her against the wall!"

Faythe broke in. "I think my water just broke!"

"This is all your fault Hiei!"

"No it isn't. It's Aragorn's fault."

Sara thought about that. "Oh yeah. Heh."

Kurama, who had been quiet that entire time, spoke up. "Maybe we should get Aragorn."

"What about me?"

"Aragorn, my water broke."

Aragorn panicked. "What do we do?" He pointed to Hiei. "This is all your fault!"

"You're the father. Stop blaming everything on me, dammit!"

Aragorn picked up the phone. "Quick! What's the number for 9-1-1?"

Sara sighed. "Put the damn phone down now!"

Aragorn obliged. He started pacing back and forth. "Oh Valar, I'm not ready! I can't do this!"

Kurama laid a hand on him shoulder. "You can do this. You have to do this." He turned to look at Sara, who was attending to Faythe. "Should we go to the hospital now?"

Sara looked at him quizzically. "You want me to transport all of your there?"

"That would be nice."

Sara took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and all of them were in the emergency room (Jake and Legolas included).

EMERGENCY ROOM

"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked Sara.

Sara pointed to Faythe. "She's in labor," she explained in German.

The receptionist looked at Faythe and her eyes widened. "Ja." She called a doctor on her phone and said something to him in German.

"What did she say, Sara?" Faythe asked.

Sara smiled. "They'll be right out."

Faythe smiled back. "Good. Oh! Contraction!"

Aragorn nervously held her hand and rubbed her belly. "They're coming fast. This'll be over soon!"

5 HOURS LATER…

Sara was very bored. Only Aragorn had been allowed to go to the maternity ward with Faythe. The rest of them had been sitting in the waiting room, receiving news of Faythe's progress via one very stressed Aragorn who popped in ever hour or so. The last update basically said that it wasn't over…not by a long shot.

She suddenly realized there was something she could do to alleviate the boredom. "My bologna has a first name," she sang loudly.

Jake came in. "It's O-S-C-A-R!"

They sang together with everyone else in the waiting room: "My bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R!"

Sara sang solo: "I love to eat it every day!"

Everyone: "And if you ask me why I'll say…"

Aragorn came in and sang, "'Cause Oscar Mayerhas a way with B-O-L-O-"

"Shut up!" Hiei shouted. "Do you have to sing the freaking bologna jingle everywhere we go?"

Aragorn grinned sheepishly. "Right. Sorry."

"G-N-A!" a little girl sang out happily.

Hiei glared at the little girl and turned back to Aragorn. "Any news?"

Aragorn shook his head. "No. I just love that song!" He went back to the ward.

2 HOURS LATER

Sara stood up on a chair. Hiei looked up at her. "What are you doing?"

Sara smiled. "I want to dedicate this next song to someone I love very much."

Hiei flushed. There were a couple "awws" around the room.

"L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very, very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone that you adore

And love is all that I can give to you

Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it

Take my love, but please don't break it

Love is made for me and you."

At first, no one said anything. Then, cheers erupted everywhere. Sara hopped down and kissed Hiei on the cheek.

"Do another!"

She looked up. "Like what?"

"Anything!"

Sara shook her head. "Maybe later."

Just then, Aragorn ran in. "Twins! A boy and a girl!"

He picked up Hiei and spun him around. "Aragorn, put me down."

He dropped him. "Twins!" He ran back out of the room. A few people cheered again.

Aragorn came back out. "Oh, yeah! Did you guys want to see Faythe and the twins?"

"Duh!" Legolas said, jumping up and running to the double doors that led to the maternity ward. Everyone else followed.

Faythe was drugged with morphine and was still feeling the effects from the epidural. She smiled dopily at them when they came in. "Hi, guys!" she said cheerfully. She held up the babies she was holding. "Aren't they beautiful?"

Sara nodded, smiling. "They're amazing."

Legolas looked closely at them. "The girl is the spitting image of you. The boy is…very Elvish. And blonde."

Sara started laughing and left the room. The others stared after her. Aragorn started panicking. "Why is she laughing? Doesn't she like them?"

"Sweetie, calm down."

"She insulted my children! She'll pay!" He grabbed his sword.

Kurama grabbed him. "She didn't insult your children!"

"Then what was she laughing about?"

Everyone froze. No one knew what to say. "Umm…she's crazy. She always laughs."

LATER

"Faythe has to spend the night."

The others groaned. "It won't be the same without Faythe," Sara said. She stood to follow the guys out of the hospital. She tripped over a chair and fell forward. Everyone turned to stare at her.

Kurama helped her up. "Are you alright?"

"Fine, fine. Stupid table."

"It was a chair…"

"Oh…"

Kurama looked at her scrutinizingly. "Are you sure you're all right?"

"Positive! Stop asking me!" Sara screamed. She saw how hurt Kurama looked and was instantly sorry. "I'm sorry, Kurama," she said, hugging him. "I don't know what came over me."

"I don't know either, but I'm going to find out," he said after he thought for a moment.

Hiei, afraid to let them spend too much time alone together, walked over and put his arm around Sara's…back. He couldn't reach her shoulders. "What's going on, guys?" he asked as pleasantly as possible.

Sara shrugged. "I don't know. Nothing, really."

"Are you guys ready to go yet? We're waiting for you," Legolas said, coming in from outside where Jake had the car running.

Kurama nodded. "We'd better get home soon, too, because I'm sure Hans, Anja and Serilda would love to hear the news."

They piled into the car and pulled off onto the Audubon.

ARAGORN/FAYTHE/THE TWINS

Aragorn smiled down on the newborns, who were dozing in cradles near their mother's bedside. It took quite a bit of cajoling to get the nurses to let the twins sleep with their mother, but Aragorn was very persuading when he had to be. He smiled at Faythe, who was asleep, as well. She was worn out, and rightly so, considering what she'd gone through. He smiled at the nurses who shied away from his sword as they came and went, taking care of Faythe and the babies. Aragorn was in a smiley kind of mood.

Faythe woke up after about an hour. "Hey," she said weakly.

Aragorn beamed proudly at her. "Hey."

"We still have to name them, you know," she said.

"We already have names picked out, though."

"Yes, dear, but they're not on the birth certificates."

Aragorn was silent for a minute, smiling at his kids. "Vincent Alan Telcontar," he said after a minute.

"And Liela Anamaria Telcontar," Faythe added. One of the babies yawned and kicked her feet a little. Faythe cradled her. "There, there, love. Don't cry."

Aragorn was still all smiles. "I'm so proud!" he exclaimed.

MEANWHILE

Anja clapped her hands. "Wonderful!"

Hans came out with a bottle of champagne. "Calls for celebration." He looked at Sara. "One glass."

"Oh, come on! I never get to have any fun anymore!"

"One glass."

Sara sighed and flopped down on the couch. "This isn't fair!"

"Why can't she have champagne?" Jake asked.

"Pregnant," Hans replied.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I'M NOT PREGNANT!" Sara shouted. "ANYONE WHO THINKS I AM OR SAYS I AM IS A LOSER WHO NEEDS TO BE DISMEMBERED!"

They stared at Sara in silence. She fumed for a while, then blushed and ran upstairs. Hiei and Kurama followed her.

"What's the matter with you?"

"For the LAST TIME! I DON'T KNOW!" She growled and threw a vase against the wall. "I don't know. My emotions are all mixed up! One minute, I'm angry at everything. The next, I want to cry." She picked up another vase.

"Maybe you really are pregnant…"

The vase shattered in her hand. "Oww…"

"Maybe you're going crazy," Hiei commented. Anything, even insanity, was better than Sara being pregnant.

"She's not crazy," Kurama replied. "She's got-"

CLEAN LIFT

"You're all right. You can go now," the doctor said to Faythe.

Faythe smiled at Aragorn, who smiled back. He smiled at the doctor. He was still in a smiley mood. "Will the children come, too?" he asked.

The doctor laughed. "Of course! They're beautiful babies. Very healthy. Ready to leave any time you are."

Faythe got out of the bed, grabbed her clothes and padded off to the bathroom to change. Aragorn proceeded to dress the babies.

"Are you sure you can do that?" the doctor asked.

"How hard could it possible be?" Aragorn said, by way of reply. (FAMOUS LAST WORDS!)

The doctor shrugged. "They're your children." He left.

"What are you doing to my kids!"

"They're my kids, too!"

"No they aren't! You put them in chain mail!"

"So? They look good. Wait, they aren't my children?"

"Well…"

MEANWHILE (CLIFFHANGER)

"-Fox Fire."

Legolas walked past them, singing in a dramatic voice, "Bum, bum, bum!"

Sara glared at this receding back. "Yeah, that's right! Keep walking!"

Hiei shot her a look that silenced her and turned to Kurama. "You mentioned that before. What is it?"

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Hiei. It doesn't affect you."

Hiei growled at him. "Of course it affects me! She's my mate!"

Kurama sighed and nodded. "She, as you can tell, is stuck in her demon form. She'll be vicious and it will be easy to upset her. What ever she eats, if she does eat, won't stay down."

"That sounds awful."

"It is."

MEANWHILE

"So, they aren't my kids."

"No. I'm so sorry, sweetie!"

Aragorn hugged her. "Don't worry about it. I love them and I love you. We'll still be a happy family."

"Promise?"

"Promise. Now, come on. Let's go home."

"HOME"

Faythe walked in the door and was greeted by Hiei, Kurama, and Anja. "They're beautiful. I hold them?" Faythe smile and handed them over to Anja. "What are they're names?"

"This is Liela. The little guy is Vincent."

Hiei looked at Aragorn. "I told you not to name him Vincent."

Aragorn laughed. "Sorry."

Kurama yawned. "I'm going to go to bed. See you in the morning." He went upstairs.

Faythe looked around. "Where's Sara? She wanted to see them."

Sara walked in, yawning. She had a bathrobe on. "Right here. I heard voices. Come to see," she yawned again, "what was happening." She smiled at Faythe. "I came. I saw. I'm going back to bed." She turned to Hiei. "Join me?"

"Of course. Good night everyone."

THE NEXT MORNING

"You're leaving? So soon?" Anja exclaimed.

Sara nodded as she put on her hat and a trench coat. "We're off to Africa."

"You come visit us."

"Of course."

Serilda came up behind Anja. "You don't and we'll disown you."

Sara snorted. "Yeah. Right."

Aragorn stuck his head in the room. "Come on ladies. We're leaving."

"We're coming," Faythe said, smiling.

Aragorn rolled his eyes. "Well, hurry up."

Sara glared at him. "Shove it."

Sara and Faythe climbed into the van. Anja and the others were waving. "E-mail me!" Serilda shouted.

"Will do!" Sara shouted back.

She leaned on Hiei's shoulder. "We've went through a lot."

"Some good. Some bad."

Jake rolled his eyes. "We aren't dying. We can come visit them some time."

Sara nodded absently. "Yeah." She took her hat off and wiggled her ears. "Africa…here we come. Hope you're ready."

Hiei snorted. "Don't count on it."
