"Kel, I think you have some explaining to do!" Alanna said. "How are you pregnant? And who's is it?"
"It's Dom's." Kel said, her voice cracked from lack of water, this was the first time she'd spoken since Dom's death.
"How-" Neal said. "I think you should tell us what is going on."
"Fine." said Kel. "Dom wasn't just my lover, he was my husband."
"But he was in the Kings Own! He wasn't aloud to marry!" Yuki said.
"We did it secretly, we were in love! You have to understand! I wouldn't let him quit the King's Own! He wanted a child, and so did I. He said that if we had a kid than it wouldn't matter that he had to leave the King's Own, we could announce our marriage and live happily with our child. (A/N this wasn't in the first part, it skips this)."
"I can't believe you didn't tell us!" Yuki exclaimed.
"And why did you try to kill yourself, than stop?" Raoul asked, very worried.
"I can't take this, without him it's like an unending pain, but I didn't know why he stopped, it was like Dom was yelling at me to stop, and live for a little longer, I didn't know why, I do now." Kel responded.
"If you're that depressed we are going to have to assign a personal guide to you to make sure that you don't hurt yourself any further, after a while, maybe you will get over his death and remember that there are other things to live for in this life, like your child."
Kel just frowned and walked out. They didn't understand, she loved Dom, there was nothing else left for her except keeping Dom's child alive as he wanted her to.
Neal watched her go and sighed. Yuki was barren and could not have children, but Kel was pregnant and could not see the joy in it. She was going to be a mother, she had to move on for the happiness of her baby.
Kel hadn't talked to anyone else anymore than necessary. She ate and exercised only for Dom's child. That was the only way she could think of it. It wasn't her child, it wasn't a son or daughter, all it was was what was left of her beloved Dom. (A/N a lot of wases!) Her friends had assigned a schedule to watch over her to make sure she didn't hurt herself, Neal was on watch now. Keeping her safe was a hard job. She was so sad that she found pain felt good. One day she had cut herself with her glaive, she wanted more and started slitting her wrists. Luckily Neal had been on guard that day too, and had healed her right away and took her glaive and stopped her from hurting herself again. She was only aloud to use a staff to practice pattern dances, and her friends objected against it, but she told them she needed to keep in shape and walked away without another word. Now she was almost 8 months pregnant and eating dinner.
"Kel, eat your vegetables." Neal said, attempting to get a laugh out of her. She just sighed and ate them, wondering how these people could joke when the most wonderful person in the world was dead? How could they neglect the fact that Dom would never see her again, never kiss her again. She started crying when she felt something in her belly.
"Kel, it's your water! It broke! It's over a month early." Neal shouted,
"Dom's baby is coming!" Kel shouted. "Quick, I have to get to a healer!"
Kel lay in bed with the healer by her side. She hadn't allowed any of her friends to join her while she had the baby. She felt no pain in labour, but no pleasure either. She did as the healer told her and cried because Dom was not there to see it. The baby was safe there was no need for her to remain alive any longer. She wanted to see Dom. She couldn't take the pain any more. She let go and closed her eyes.
The healer looked up at the woman, Keladry of Midelan and saw her close her eyes just as she cut the umbilical cord. She felt the Knight's life leave her body and looked up into a black hooded figure. She stared, shocked as she watched Kel step out of her body and go to the Black God. Kel sighed happily. "I've waited so long, I'm finally free to see my Dom, oh, and please give the child to Neal and Yuki with my deepest regrets, and my love to the child whose name will be chosen by his new parents, for I believe my child is a boy." She said, turning to the healer. Kel and the God vanished as the healer stood there in shock.
A few hours later Neal and Yuki opened the door to find a frozen healer holding a baby boy and a very still Kel. Yuki walked over to Kel, at first trying to keep her Yamani mask on, but it only took seconds for her to break into tears. The healer stood up and handed the baby to Neal, who also was crying.
"The lady told me to give you the child, and said you were to name him." The healer said, not as sad as she was shocked. "She also sends her regrets and love to the child, but she was not happy in this life and could no longer take it." She said it, but barely believed what had happened to her.
Neal pulled Yuki into a hug. "What shall we name him?"
"Domitan of course" Yuki said.
As the two new parents smiled their happy smiles, Dom and Keladry embraced in the Black God's realm.
"I love you." Dom said. "I'm glad to have you back, but we are missing our child's life, did you not want to stay and raise him."
"I wouldn't have been able to, not without you."
Three years later, Yuki surprised everyone and bore a child, a girl name Keladry. Dom and Kel watched Dom hold his baby sister for the first time and smiled.
"He looks just like his father, dashingly handsome." Kel said.
"I do agree." Dom replied, kissing Kel.
She giggled. "Let's watch a little longer." She said. "Than we can visit Alanna and George, they are still getting settled." (A/N Yes- Alanna and George are dead.)
The end (A/N I am having serious ending and beginning problems)
