As morning came, Axia was still resting, so Aldo got himself dressed and prepared to get some breakfast for the 4 of them. He then saw Drake, Bizi, and Isa all emerge from their rooms almost like in sync. Wordlessly, the men all trudged down to the cafeteria of the hotel to bring up food for their ladies.
"So, uh..Aldo. Is Axia awake yet?" Isa asked as they were returning to their rooms
"Yes she awoke last night." Aldo said
"Good" was all Drake said as he stormed off towards Axia's room
"Wait!" Aldo shouted as he ran off after Drake
Opening the door softly, Drake poked his head in and saw Axia sleeping. Leaning over her, he softly moved her hair out of her face. Axia then leaned over whispering Aldo's name.
"No honey, it's Dad." Drake said
"You miserable old man, what are you doing in my room!" Axia said just as the boys entered the room. Isa's jaw dropped as Axia was naked from the waist down and she was sitting up on the bed, glaring at her father. Bizi of course, seeing the same thing on Mistress, wasn't fazed and Aldo just came over to the bed and lifted the sheet up over her ample breasts.
"Thank you Aldo, and sorry Isa." Axia said gently blushing over her faux pau.
"Well he is your brother now, so its all in the family." Drake said grinning
"I beg your pardon?" Axia whispered with anger in her voice.
Aldo knew exactly what was about to happen, so he quickly tried to usher out Bizi and Isa and attempted to head to Melianta's room to warn her that Axia was awake and was mad at Drake.
Drake oblivious to his eldest's daughter, was grinning ear to ear, thinking that now that she was awake, he was going to get her married. "Bizi, go get your Bible!" he shouted still grinning
"Drake, NO!" Aldo shouted at him. Both men were the same height, so he eyed down Drake. "Get out. NOW" Aldo shouted at him
"Old man what have you been doing." Axia said, then closed her eyes as Axis told her everything with the exception of what was told to Callista.
"You miserable son of a bitch" Axia said through gritted teeth. "What in the hell is wrong with you! How DARE you play god like that with us. Get out before I do something I might regret. Like kill you!" she said as she stood up, completely naked holding Axis.
"Pet you might be more effective if you had clothes on. Isa is drooling" Aldo said and he heard Axis laughing as she bathed Axia into a warm light and clothed her.
"Bother" Axia said as she seen the clothes that she gave her. Silk blue with a criss cross of a strip across her breasts. Bare midriff that was already slightly showing her state. Along the sides of her body the ensemble the skirt dipped slightly in the front as it cupped her stomach and then slowly graced along her long legs with slits on each side. Behind her a chiffon lace cape held little to the imagination as her entire back was exposed and the end part of the skirt dipped low on her back and flowed all the way down to her sandals.
"Axis, this is beautiful" Aldo said thinking how to get her out of it. Axis was of course listening, and said loudly within his mind "You can't get her out of it, and you can't break the fabric...hehehe"
"Old man, you have a lot of nerve..." Axia said
"That may be, but you are my oldest, and you are marrying today. My grandchildren are not being born bastards" Drake snarled at her
Isagani had been watching this exchanged and he could not believe the open hostility that fairly leaped up from the two of them. If he ever got to see his father, he would not have acted like this, so he could not understand why she was so upset with him. He then realized that Axia was showing. A lot. From what Tatiana had told him, her and Aldo had only slept with each other for the first time a few weeks ago, so she couldn't be more then 3 weeks along. Yet she looked nearly 5 months along.
"What makes you think I care what you think? You certainly didn't care about me when you turned your back on me" Axia shouted at him getting far more agitated.
"Axia I am your father and you will not sway me. You and Aldo are marrying today whether you like it or not. Your sisters didn't have a choice in the matter and neither do you." Drake said holding a fist up in rage
"There is one very large difference in your little scheme. Those two have been trying to get the men to marry them! They were willing to let you push them. I am not. I will not be forced into anything. Even if the children are born bastards, I will marry when I SEE FIT. Is that clear enough for you." Axia said seething in rage
"That is enough Drake. Axia is getting too agitated and the children are getting unsettled. This will end now. My chosen has spoken and her wishes will not be denied." Axis said and she teleported Aldo and Axia away.
"Bloody hell!" Drake shouted and left a stunned Bizi and Isa in the room.
OoO
Axis teleported them just outside of the city and when they materialized Axia collapsed onto the grass crying.
"I hate that man..." Axia said sobbing
Aldo knew that she loved him, and what was said was not in reflection of him, but to stop Drake from forcing her to be his wife. "Pet I know you two always hurt each other everytime you are together, but he has a point. You are really showing love, which means that the children will be here far sooner then possible. I don't want my children born without my name. Please, allow me to be your husband." Aldo asked her softly stroking her face.
"As much as I have loved you Aldo, right now. No." Axia said as she stood up and ran away.
As she got more and more distance away from him, she collapsed and began to sob uncontrollably. Axis, never knowing how to handle her when she was like this, and lacking the finesse of her mother, attempted the impression of stroking Axia's back. She then asked her "Is there a particular reason why you will not take him as your husband?"
"Because I don't wish to be confined. I like my freedom too much." Axia said within her mind
"That is such utter garbage and you know it. If that was true when you had the chance to be a solo dancer, you would have done it. But you stayed with him. When you found out you were pregnant, I remember the first thoughts, but you accepted it. Did you not think that children would be confining? What about when he revealed to you that they were twins? Do you really think that even without Aldo, you are going to have much freedom with 2 small babies? Because you are chosen, the children will be born within the next week. It's what makes you so special. One week Axia. By tomorrow you are going to look six months pregnant, and not just 2 weeks pregnant. In 4 weeks your sister is going to be even worse. She is have triplets with Isagani. She will be showing in a matter of days because of the children." Axis said to her
"Tat's pregnant? When did that happen? And what do you mean I am giving birth in a week!" Axia said looking down at her stomach
By this time, Aldo had caught up with her and saw her touching her stomach. He slowly then approached her, but she heard him and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Sitting down beside her, he looked at her and asked "Why do you not want to be my wife?" Aldo asked of her
"I like freedom?" Axia said still clinging to that answer
"And what makes you think I am not going to give you any? Pet you know me better then that. And what about the children? You are going to need my help with them, something I will gladly help with. Please pet, say yes and be my wife." Aldo asked of her again
"Axis says that I will be giving birth in a few days. She said tomorrow I'm going to be a balloon" Axia said sniffling a bit as the tears had stopped.
"I suspected as much. Having communication with the children taught me that you are further along then you have any right to be. If I hadn't taken your virginity, I would have suspected something else." Aldo said cupping her face.
"Are you implying that these children may not be yours?" Axia said smacking his hand away in anger
"My little firebrand, so quick to temper. I love you Axia and I trust you completely with my heart, body and soul. Please agree to be my wife" Aldo said with tears down his face.
"Alright you win...you always win" Axia said leaning up to rest her head into Aldo's chest.
Suddenly Bizi and Mistress were sitting beside them, looking a little perplexed. They had been until just a few seconds ago in their rooms. Another flash and Isagani and Tatiana were sitting beside them as well. "Now that the family of chosens are here we can begin" Axis said.
"If you could teleport before, why didn't you instead of ordering me around!" Bizi said to Axis
"Because you are easier. Now shut up and marry them" Axis said
"You miserable miserly whip, I have had enough of you ordering me around. Bizi do this, Bizi do that, make Mistress pregnant." Bizi said and with a stern look from Mistress added "Not that I didn't enjoy that love" and that made her smile. "But enough is enough. I'm not your yoyo and I am not doing it." he finished and sat down and placed Mistress into his lap.
"Okay then Bizi, we are sorry to have troubled you." Aila said and without a word a tall priest materialized in front of them.
"What on earth...?" the dark haired priest said
Hase Valve had been in Prontera helping some of the sick there and was shocked to be surrounded by so many people.
"Hase, what are you doing here?" Mistress asked
"Misty, is that you, what are you doing here? And Bizi..what is going on?" said a stunned Hase
"Yes, I err, changed vocation recently." Mistress answered
"Uh, I'm not liking why you are here either Hase" Bizi said slapping the glove down on the ground until sparks of lighting came off of it and singed Bizi badly "Bloody ass glove" he mumbled
"Okay you two are freaking me out. Why in heavens name am I here?" Hase said
"Because we needed a priest." Aldo said suspecting how and why a childhood friend of the two of them would be showing up here "I think, if you would be so kind, you have a couple of marriages to perform. Bizi can't marry himself to Mistress." he finished
"I see...well it was about time. Glad that you came to your senses Bizi." Hase said and he pulled out his marriage bible that he always carried around with him
"Well we have all been awaiting this day, that two souls would join as one. Those that wish their souls to be joined, please step forward." Hase started the ceremony.
Both Mistress and Axia were guided to their feets by the men and they both held hands as they stood before Hase.
"Who has the rings?" Hase said to them
"I do" Both Aldo and Bizi replied
"I got ours pet, while you were asleep. I knew eventually you would say yes." Aldo said as he placed a sapphire studded ring onto her finger.
"I got ours love after you agreed to be my wife" Bizi said as he placed the sapphire ring onto Mistress's finger
"With these tokens of love and affection, will you honour the vows you speak today. Will you love, honour and cherish these women, through all adversity?" Hase asked them
"Yes I will" Aldo replied
"With all my heart" Bizi replied
"Ladies, will you take these men, into your hearts. Will you love and cherish them throughout all adversity" Hase asked the twins
"Yes" they both answered at the same time, and placed the rings onto Aldo's and Bizi's fingers.
"By the power vested in me, by the church of Rune-Midgar I pronounce you both Husband and Wife. You may now kiss your brides." Hase said as he sat down a softly crying Tatiana
Aldo cupped Axia face and gently brought her to his lips and gently kissed her. Bizi did the same and whispered to Mistress "Are you up for tonight?" Nodding, he grinned and deeply kissed her.
"Congrats Sisters" Callista and Sirano said uncloaking
"I knew you would be here" Axia said as Aldo held her.
"Yeah I know, you always could sense me. So congrats. I'm sorry, I'm just not in the mood to be social, or happy. I just want to be with Sira, for as long as I can. Send word when you are ready to go." Callista said with tears in her eyes and with that she cloaked again leaving Sirano to do explainations
"Please do not mind her, she is still grasping with what her role is going to be when she gets to Magma. She still hasn't accepted it. Neither have I. I never will, but I don't have a choice in the matter. Neither does she." Sirano said, not realizing that only Aldo knew what he was talking about.
"Sirano, what is going on?" Axia said, and as she said it, Aldo gripped her hand and whispered, "I will tell you later, please pet."
"Fine, keep me in the dark" Axia said as she started to walk away.
"Axia we are not trying to keep you in the dark. Pet be reasonable" Aldo said as he ran after her. Catching up with her he turned her around and said "They have their reasons..please." Aldo said
"Then what are they..tell me. If you know, tell me. I'm your wife now damn you" Axia said eyes blazing
"Fine" Aldo said
OoO
"Oh my god..." Axia said after hearing what Aldo told her. "And she still married Sirano?"
"He wouldn't let her say no." Aldo said softly
"He loves her that much, does he?" Axia said
"If it were you love, I would do the same. In a heartbeat pet." Aldo said fiercely
"Does anyone else know?" Axia asked
"No, just you and I" Aldo said "Should we be telling the others?" Aldo asked, knowing her answer already
"No...Mistress is still mourning the loss of her baby, and Tati is still mourning the loss of Saphia. I don't think they can handle anymore." Axia said
"Alright pet, shall we head back then?" Aldo said taking her hand into his and leading her back
OoO
"So you have known Mistress and Bizi since they were teenagers?" Isagani asked
"Yes, Mistress always was with Bizi, almost like she was afraid of others. No guy would go near her for fear of Bizi. Even then, he was fiercely protecting her. We were sure that they were already an item, but were never too sure. Then when he left her, we were all shocked by her behaviour. From being a complete mouse, to a full grown tiger we had never seen a change like that before. I tried to stop them from taking her away, mostly because well...I had liked her alot" Hase said and cut short his memory lane when he saw sparks flying from Lachlan on Bizi's hand "but, Bizi, nothing had ever happened. I was taken down by the monks and when I awoke, Mistress was gone and I was told that she purposely isolated herself and that if I tried to interfere, I would be excommunicated. I had just become a priest and I wasn't about to waste 10 years of my life on a woman that had never even smiled at me, let alone barely talk to me. No offence Mistress" Hase added
"None taken. You were correct that I didn't talk to anyone. Once Bizi came into my life, I felt completely safe with him. He didn't make any demands of me, and he made me laugh. Drake did not allow for laughter, and both me and Axia were too busy becoming a pair of killing machines to even be bothered about love. I was almost glad when Drake made Callie his successor. I hated killing and felt so dirty and empty from it. Thats why after Axia ran away, I snuck out and wanted to cleanse myself. I had always been talking with Mother Mathilda who was stationed in Morroc, so when she found me, she suggested I speak with the priests there. That was when they heard who I was, and what I had been doing. Then they paired me with Bizi as I was so withdrawn. They thought his 'spunk' would be the thing to get me out of my funk. They never expected him to be so protective of me and that I would withdraw further. Growing up in the monestary with him, I really didn't pay any attention to anyone else. All that existed in my world was my studies and Bizi." Mistress said softly
"I felt the same way acushla. And there were so many fights that I started because of you. Especially when you turned 17, love. Almost every day I was in a fight because of the remarks people made about you. You were as lovely then as you are now." Bizi said as he drew her to him and softly kissed her.
"Ever the charmer, eh Bizi." Hase said as he stood up and shook off the grass off of his robes. "I should get going. Would one of you be so kind as to take me back to Prontera. It is almost the dinner hour now, and I have to get it still prepared." he said
"Of course Hase" Bizi said and opened a warp with Lachlan.
Before entering Hase gave a parting remark that only Bizi heard. Mistress watched as with a smile and a shove, Bizi pushed Hase into the warp just as it began to close. Walking back, Mistress looked at him and asked "What did he ask you?"
"If you were as hot in bed as he imagined you to be" Bizi said and at that Tatiana and Mistress laughed.
"I think it is all time that we got back. Drake must be having a fit now" Axia said as both her and Aldo approached them
OoO
"Alright" Bizi said as he opened another portal and allowed the others to enter. Mistress was the last one to enter, but before she did, Bizi grabbed her around the waist and stopped her from entering. He then held her against him and whispered to her "You are hotter in bed, then I ever imagined. Fire is cold compared to you, wife." he said as she groaned and turned to face him.
"And I adore your possessiveness Bizi. I am yours, forever and always. I always have been husband." she said as she leaned up and kissed him.
"Porings I've missed you these last few days" Bizi said a few minutes later
"So have I" Mistress said
"You are not sore or anything? Lachlan is she really okay?" Bizi said softly kneading her breasts.
"For what you have planned, she is fine. You will not hurt her at all, at least in the way of tearing her." Lachlan said. "Since you don't exactly like my presence, I am going into hibernation if you are planning to do what I think you are planning." he said softly laughing
"And uh what did you have in mind husband?" Mistress said slightly arching as Bizi was now touching the tips of her breasts
"Nothing...nothing at all" he said as he leaned down and through the fabric, took one of her nipples into his mouth.
"Hmmm, I've missed you too husband" she said as she moved a hand between the two of them and felt her husbands need for her.
Groaning, Bizi undid the sash holding her robes together and allowed them to fall to the ground. He then made quick work of both of their clothes and before touching her again cast Pnemua to surround them. "Now no disturbances" he said as he settled on top of her and began to kiss her. Starting slowly from the top of her, he gently kissed all the way down her body, while avoiding her sensitive places. Coming back up, he met at the junction of her thighs and placed a kiss on her shaven mond. Tasting her slightly, she quivered at his touch. Feeling her more then ready, he slowly rose above her and said to her "I want you carrying my child again" and with that he drove into her, bent on making her pregnant again. Arching into him, he lifted up her hips and set her on top of him, with him on his knees. Driving into her again and again in this fashion, she came very quickly. Slowing down, he changed his sitting position, so that instead of on his knees, he was on his back, and brought her on top of him. Cupping her breasts within his hands, he brought one of the distended nipples to his mouth, and sucked deeply on it. Sencing that Mistress was close again, he brought his hands over her hips and guided her to a frenzy pace allowing himself to pour himself into her.
Spent, he gently held her as she caught her breath. Softly he whispered into her ear "You think it took?"
Softly she whispered "Are you eager to get me pregnant again?"
"Yes...most definately yes. I want you carrying my baby again." he said nibbling on her lower lip. "All this talk about the girls pregnant makes me want to see you heavy with my child." He then took Lachlan in hand and slapped him across the ground "Wakey wakey"
"Bizi, I am getting tired of this. I swear when I get human form, I am punching your lights out, now what do you want" Lachlan said
"Is she pregnant?" Bizi said hopefully
"For heavens sake, you just finished! Your little fishies havent even gotten up there, cause they are as lazy as you! Now shut up and let me get some sleep before I fry you!" Lachlan said and for good measure sent him a volt of electricity
Laughing uncontrollably, Mistress fell of Bizi and continued laughing at his expense. "Laugh at me will you" he said as he grabbed her and rolled her onto her back. He then entered her again and said "Punishment time"
OoO
Later that evening they all gathered for a late night supper to discuss what was next to come.
"Okay now that Axia is awake what is the next move?" Bizi said
"Get to Magma Dungeon as soon as possible" Aldo said
"Why?" Mistress said
"Because in a few days, Axia will not be able to go anywhere. Axis said she is giving birth in a week" Aldo said waiting for Drakes reaction
"What!" Everyone said together
"It's true. This is why I am showing. Axis said I was going to look six months pregnant by tomorrow. Also, uh...Tatiana will be showing in a few days as well" Axia said
"You said you didn't touch her!" Drake exploded sending his chair flying behind him
"I didn't until a few days ago. And she was a virgin, I swear!" Isa said cowering as it looked like Drake was about to hit him, until Aldo snaked his hand to stop him
"Drake we are about to get to the reason why, so why don't you sit down and shut up...Dad." Aldo said to him
Drake not having any sons, was silenced by his newest son-in-law addressment and so retrieved his chair and sat back down beside a very angry Melianta.
"Now, from what they told us, because we three are chosens, the bond between our pieces are what are making the incubation period so short. It apparrently only takes 3 weeks for birth with them. Because I am only carrying twins it took 2 weeks for me to begin to show. Tati, Axis told us you are carrying triplets, and so this is why in a few days you will be showing. Because your body has to adjust so quickly to your womb space, you will be showing faster. If Mistress becomes pregnant again, it will be the same with her. " Axia said turning to her twin at the last statement, and squeezing her hand.
"So what about Callista?" Tatiana said
"Callista is a bit different. Callista is a chosen like us. But her purpose is far different." Axia said.
"What is it?" Isa asked
"I am not sure if it is my place to say." Axia said quietly
"No it is not" Callista said as she uncloaked with Sirano right behind her
"I know my purpose, and as you can see, I have accepted it. I took Sirano as my husband because..." she trailed off as tears began to fall
"Lovely, you took me as your husband, because you love me, not because of anything else." Sirano finished for her
"Then what is it?" Tatiana asked her older sister
"You will find out when we get there." Callista responded and added "We still have not found her and have expanded the search to outside of the city."
"Well if we are heading out in the morning, allow the others to finish the search and you two get some sleep in Tatiana/Saphia's room since my daughter is now sleeping with Isagani" Drake said
"Fine then" Callista said and she and Sirano disappeared again
"We should all meet here about 5am to get started. It will take all day just to get there, and any other delays we risk Axia going into premature labour." Aldo said
"Agreed" Drake said and with that they got up and began to head to their respective rooms.
OoO End of Chapter 13 OoO
