Okay, here's the next chapter. I actually have a lot of ideas for this story coming to mind. Next up, they have to tell everyone about the baby. Of course, they'll have their own little adventures with each person they talk to. Should be funny, but don't count out the drama.

Chapter 3: Grandpa and Uncle

"Great news hunny!" Zelos cheered as he burst through the door.

"What?" she asked, almost afraid to ask what he had done while he was gone.

"I hired an architect to come and design the nursery and the playroom," he announced proudly.

Storm laughed as she got off the couch. "Well, at least you didn't didn't enroll the kid in school yet," she said

"No, I decided to wait on that," he told her.

"And I thought Lloyd was a prodigy," Kratos muttered under his breath.

"What did you say Daddy?" Storm said wearing a death glare on her face. Kratos couldn't hide anything from her angelic hearing.

"Uh...I said that I think you should tell Lloyd," he lied.

"That's a great idea!" Zelos replied happily. "Wait until Lloyd and Sheena find out the great news."

"Yeah, and we can see if their love life has gotten anywhere," Storm added.

With that said Zelos, Storm, and Kratos all decided to make their way to Mizuho to meet up with Sheena and Lloyd to tell them the good news. Storm decided that she needed to get all of their traveling done before she was too far along.

When they arrived in Mizuho they were all greeted happily by the citizens there and were quickly escorted to Sheena's house. Sheena and Lloyd were out with some of the ninjas on a mission so the three decided to wait for them to return.

"You know, this would be a perfect opportunity for Lloyd to make a move, but I bet that he won't," Zelos said.

"Yeah, missions are a great way to get close to someone. Especially since he's spending a lot of time with the same person," Storm added.

Zelos nodded his head in agreement at Storm, but Kratos was left looking at her with a raised eyebrow. He was trying to figure out what she was getting at. There seemed to be something behind that comment but he couldn't tell what. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to reading a book that he found. The book was all about the Kharlan War and he couldn't help but chuckle at all the things these types of books said that Mithos once did. Some of it was true, but most of it was exaggerated or completely made up.

Finally Sheena and Lloyd made their entrance and the entire group was excited to see the two. Storm ran to Sheena and gave her a big hug then ran over to Lloyd and gave him a large hug as well.

"Hey Dad," Lloyd said happily. He walked up to Kratos ready to give him a hug. He suddenly backed off, thinking that Kratos wouldn't appreciate the gesture. Kratos stared at his son and suddenly spread his arms apart to allow Lloyd to embrace him. This whole scene shocked Storm and the others, but they were all happy to see that the two had finally become very comfortable around each other.

"Hey, so what was the important news that you guys came here to tell us?" Sheena asked.

"Well," Zelos started. "Why don't you tell them Storm?"

"Well, I'm pregnant," she finally answered.

There was a long silence before Lloyd finally spoke up. "You don't look pregnant Storm," he stated as he stared at her.

Storm and Kratos simultaneously slapped their foreheads. Zelos walked over to Lloyd and placed an arm around his shoulder. "Lloyd, she's only a few weeks pregnant, she won't look it for a while," he calmly explained to him.

Sheena ran up to Storm and embraced her in a large hug and congratulated her. "So, Kratos is going to be a grandpa," she pointed out.

Kratos turned slightly red at this comment. Storm looked over at him. "Yeah. Hey Dad, that only took you over four thousand years to accomplish. Most people, it takes about fifty," she laughed.

Lloyd laughed at this. "Man, your kid's grandpa is going to look really young. Not to mention that Storm will always look eighteen, even when your kid is like forty," Lloyd added.

Storm and Sheena went over and slapped him in the back of the head. "Ow, what was that for?" Lloyd asked holding his head where they had hit him.

"For making fun of my baby. You're going to be the uncle who gets all old and ugly, how's that make you feel?" Storm replied angrily.

"You didn't have to hit me," he complained.

"Dude, just stop fighting. I get this all the time, just let them win and they'll stop hurting you," Zelos advised him as he led them away from the girls.

Storm turned her attention to Sheena who was all smiles. "Sheena, can I talk to you alone for awhile?" she asked her.

"Sure," Sheena agreed as the two went out for a walk.

Once they had gotten to the outskirts of Mizuho, Storm and Sheena sat down in a field to talk.

"Sheena I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be the baby's godmother. You're my best friend," Storm asked her.

"I'd be honored," Sheena answered. Sheena looked over at Storm and finally asked the question that had been bothering her since she had seen her. "What's the matter Storm? You seem really depressed."

"Oh," Storm said snapping back with a happy smile to hide her feelings. "I'm fine, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You can't lie to me for long, something's bothering you. You can tell me, I'm sure all the guys haven't been much help," Sheena assured her.

"Well...I don't know...I guess I'm just scared," she finally admitted.

Sheena was surprised at what she had said. To her Storm seemed to be someone who feared nothing and who could stand up to any challenge that faced her.

"Are you afraid of childbirth?" she asked her.

Storm wasn't afraid at all about the pain involved in childbirth, she was sure that she could handle physical pain, there was something else on her mind. "I'm afraid to be a mother. I don't think I'd be good enough. Zelos will be a wonderful father, I can tell that, but I can't be a mother," she said.

Sheena looked at Storm, she had a feeling that Storm would doubt herself. Storm was always doing that to herself. Sheena placed a hand on her shoulder and forced her to look in her eyes. "Listen to me. Being a mother isn't something that you have to be good at, it just happens. You'll know exactly what to do when the time comes. You'll be fine, you always think about others before yourself, there's no way that you'd let anything happen," Sheena comforted her.

"I suppose, but I can't even offer any support, courage, or strength to my child. I can't because I don't have any myself," Storm told her.

"Storm, getting this far in your life shows how much courage and strength you have. You will be fine, trust me," she explained to her.

"Yeah, you're right, thank you Sheena," Storm said happily to Sheena.

"No problem, that's what friends are for," Sheena returned the smile.

"Is it okay if we all stay here for a few days, we have some things we want to do before we leave," Storm asked her.

"That's fine, but what do you need to do?" Sheena questioned her.

"You'll find out soon enough," Storm assured her.

When the two arrived back in Mizuho, Storm went over to Zelos and whispered in his ear.

"It's time that we get these two together," she told him.

Zelos nodded his head as the two went to the room that Sheena had prepared for them.

Well, that's it there. I hope it wasn't too bad. I don't know how well I did on the jokes or the descriptions. Anyway, thanks for reading, please review. Next chapter, Storm and Zelos attempt to hook Sheena and Lloyd up. Should be funny.
