(Author's Note - Dimitri's Point of View)

- My Bedroom, 2nd Floor.

"Love you both, Dimitri..." that was the last word I wrote.

I finished my letter, and put it a case along with the others that I've wrote before. I stared out at the window where the silver moonlight reflected the rain like a trillion diamonds on the roofs. I got off from bed, and leaved my bedroom with the words echoing in my head.

"There used to be an explanation for what I'm telling you...It happened just a past few days ago in the small city of Baltimore..."

I walked down the stairs and passed the living room where Deus guarding his princess as she was sleeping on a couch. I have grown used to the sight of them together as if they aren't different species.

"If I wrote this last week I guessed I would say there are nothing good about moving there, but actually…it's not that bad though"

I looked at the Deus crooning his princess, and remising the previous letter I have wrote before.

"I remember I told you that Deus is a miracle, and he still is. Watching them together reminded me a lot of you both and that weren't the first time I've seen miracles..."

I saw muddied orange lights at the end of the hallway where the kitchen/dining room was. I peeked my head inside quietly to not disturbing anyone, or maybe it's just a spy instinct.

"I have seen the way people cared for each other the way that soviet never had, and that inspired me to believe humanity again."

I thought as I looked at Zelda and Giles, a white man, and a black woman. Our society divided people in groups even we're all basically human, but the friendship in front of me made me understand that everyone can live together on this Earth if they really want to.

"Baltimore might not have been my place due to the bad things that happened there, but there...at that horrible place...I have found my freedom. So maybe there's a possibility that I might still be able to live like a normal people."

They stopped drinking when they saw me, and offered a seat. I entered the room, and joined the table.

"I know things will get harder after this, and there will be no scientific explanation for it, but don't worry, mom...dad it will be fine. Love you both, Dimitri."

"Can't sleep?" I asked as I tossed another coffee to him.

"Yeah, I guess I'll be sleepless for another week" He chuckled.

"Me too," Giles sighed out lazily, "Several weeks ago I discovered that the fishboy is real, but who would think that now my friend is carrying his child?"

With that I agree, I never know that a sea god could be real until he was pulled into the T4, but I didn't care about it until Elisa befriend with it, and then boning in her apartment...I thought they were such a cute couple until they fought, and later found out she's pregnant. The fishguy were still guilty about it but I don't think she'll wake up soon anyway.

"He didn't go back to the tub yet, is he?" I asked.

"Nah, I don't think he would." Dimitri replied.

"No, that's not good," Giles said leisurely, and stood up, "he can't keep hurting himself forever."

(Author's Note - Dimitri's Point of View)

"If he isn't going to do it for himself or her at least he must do it for his child." That was Giles's last word before he left the kitchen.

I hope the Deus won't piss off when Giles drag him back to the tub, the last time he scared Deus, he got a scar.

"I almost had a baby ya' know?" Zelda said after Giles left, "I don't even know it's a boy or a girl."

"I'm sorry." I mean it.

"Uh-uh, it's okay, I'm done with crying myself to sleep." She chuckle.

"I barely talk with my mother, and I've already forgot the time when we were close" I slowed down to breathed, and raised my shoulders, "So...I don't know...I use to have a crush on my right hand, but never had an actual relationship"

"You're lucky," She replied, "Babies aren't just Fetuses, ya know?"

I don't know how to respond to that, and I don't want to offend her. To science, infants are very young offspring of a human, but to a mother...it's completely another thing.

"How did you become a scientist?" She asked, "I know you're a spy, but you must at least have an actual diploma to get in Occam."

"I grew up in Minsk, we didn't have much green there, but I love the sound of the blackbirds crossing the afternoon sky, and the mystery of lives." I answered as I reminisced my childhood, "And I'm a bookworm, so I got A+ pretty easy." and after that was how my life went down, "I received a university scholarship just to realize later that it's the soviet spy agency that paid the tuitions for me"

(Author's Note - Zelda's Point of View)

"So they fill your head with dreams, paid your tuitions, force you to work for them and give them everything that you earn for the rest of your life?" I joked.

"Kind of" He laughed, "But at least I finally have my freedom...for now."

"What you think will happen after we bring the Asset home?" I asked.

We have spent our ass off for him, and at first it was just about bringing him home before we realized that Elisa was carrying his child. There's no way we could live like normal again after this.

"I don't know" He replied honestly, "All we could do is wait until it's time." so basically we have no choice more than let the fate decide, "And thanks for the coffee."

He finished his coffee, and cleaned the cup before he left. I guessed I should go to bed too. I quickly finished my coffee, and visited the living room to check on Elisa. The fishguy were still with her, I saw glossy puddle on the floor but at least that means he hasn't been out of the tub for too long yet.

"How is she?" I asked moved closer.

"Dreaming" The fishguy replied.

It was just a simple word, but with some reason I felt like there is more meaning to it. I know he could be joking like 'yeah! She's still dreaming, because she's having good sleep', but with some reason...I don't think he's joking.

"You can see people's dream?" I asked, and he shook his head.

"We don't see" he signed, "We join"

That...doesn't help at all, so he means he could dream along with them, or share a dream...something like that?

"So...have you join hers yet?" I asked, maybe his answer will make it clearer.

He shook his head, and chirped in guilty, "I'm scared." he signed, "I don't want to see the picture of her seeing me as a monster in her dream."

She might...if that argument really hurt her, but no matter how much she hurt, she never get angry or fight with me or anyone before. Honestly I think she might be already crying in her dream.

"What if I join with you?" I asked.

He looked hesitated before he offered me his hand. I placed my hand his in his, and wait until he finally placed another hand on Elisa's head.

A light bulb exploded in my eyes before it will slowly turns into smoke, and fade away. I opened my eyes, and looked around. Is this her dream? I thought as I looked down at the ground that were covered in mosses, and the sunlight that shines in teal color. I recognized the light post, the construction, and the canal wall...it's the dock of Patapsco river. I almost forget that I'm not alone here if the fishguy didn't tapped on my shoulder, and pointed at the edge of the jetty where a girl around 8-10 stood.

"That's her" the fishboy just speak!?

"You..you speak?" I asked.

"Not in real world." He replied, as I look at the young Elisa.

She turned around, and left the dock without noticing me or the fishguy. Maybe because no one can see us in this...land of dream? or maybe she just think she had nothing to do with us, and seeing a fishguy in a dream wouldn't be weird anyway. We followed her out of the dock and gasped with widened eyes because of what were in front of me.

A school of fishes swimming in the sky with a giant octopus on top of a building! I swear I saw a turtle and whale swimming above my head, and still people in her dream living normally as if it's not weird.

"Woah, never thought she could imagine it this far" the fish guy said as he looked around curiously.

"But, wait! Where is she now?" I asked as I notice the mini-Elisa was gone.

We looked around and couldn't find her anywhere, and with the living seafood swimming around, it's impossible to find her. I don't know what streets or road it was but I remember few places, Occam, Orpheum Theater, the shoe shop, and the cafe. All places she remembered were placed next to each other based on her attachment.

"Where should we go first?"

Should we look at her apartment first? but the last time we saw her in here she was 8th, so she must still be in the Orphanage...and I think I want to see a bit of her past too. I look at the street again, and found 'Our Lady of Sorrows Orphanage' was placed at the deepest part of the street.

"There." I said and pointed at it.

We swam our way there, and stopped at the front gate. Honestly I felt like flying weightlessly in the air more than swimming in the water, but all those beautiful things ended right at this dispirit church. I'm not surprise anymore why she never talk about it, it looked sorrow just like how it named.

We entered the building, and found a group of young people in grey uniform with one red hair girl that seems to be the leader. All their faces were smudges except for Elisa's who seem to be around 15 now.

"Is that Elisa?" he asked as he looked at the Elisa who struggled to get off the gripped that held her back.

And I understand his surprised, for a moment I almost thought that the girl in front of me is not her too. Her eyes were swollen with tears as her hair was dyed wiry in navy blue color. She wore very revealing clothes that is completely opposite to what she would wear.

"You are crazy! Just like your friend! They should have sent you to the asylum too!" The red hair mocked.

Elisa flicked herself off from their grip, and grabbed the red hair girl at the collar before she shove the girl down on the floor. The others stepped back carelessly as they watched Elisa, and the red haired fought wildly like beasts. None of them did something to stop the fight until 2 nuns dragged them out from the hallway, and disappeared into bubbles.

"You'll be a Whore by Christmas!"

A woman voice came from behind us; we turned around and found Elisa in her 20s stood at the open door in a green wool dress with a suitcase in her hand. We followed her out from the orphanage, and found out that the street we came was gone!

It was replaced with a hall way that seems to be made out of skin. It fills with cuts that turned into keloid like the scars on her neck. It carved into words till the end of the hallway that seems to never end.

"you dump!", "Mum", "Stupid little girl!", "You never follow direction", "no wonder all the girls hate you", "You'll have no choice except selling your body!", "You shameful girl!", "I bet I could make you squawk.", "Worthless stupid ugly whore"...

None of the words are worth remembering as we followed the path to a small wooden door at the end of the way. I'm sure it was Elisa's apartment door. I looked back to at the fishguy as he hung his head low...not ready to face whatever behind that door.

"What do you think we'll find behind that door?" he asked.

"I don't know." I replied, "But we'll face it for her, okay?" I asked.

We pushed the door open, and found Elisa laid perfectly still on her bed with her eyes staring at the wall where the shoe rack was placed. All her clothes were piled on the floor as a man next to her were putting on his clothes. She kept her back to him as he finally disappeared from the sight.

"Can we go now?" The fishman asked quietly, can no longer take the sight in front of him.

I nodded, "If you want to"

We walked back to the door behind us, and yanked it open…

(Author's Note -Special Part! Through Narrator!)

But instead of leading them back to reality, it led them to the reason they came here in the first place…

And there she was...stood at the edge of the dock with her red coat flagged in the wind as she stared out where the sun was setting at the edge of the sea...They indeed have seen a lot of her sad bizarre dream, but this one seems to be the kindest realistic one...where there are no fish, no mosses, no ocean. Only the dock of Patapsco River that they remembered...and finally after a long moment...she finally turned to face them.

Her eyes that looking at them weren't the eyes of a girl who were beaten out of her youth, but it's the eyes of a woman that Zelda have known for 14 years, the woman who her life partner falls in love with. Even Her face might be drawn gaunt with lines and crow feet, but her eyes will always carries dreams, loves, and hope just like her sadness and loneliness that still remain there...And that is the Elisa that they remember.

The past is in the past, it can never change. Whether she love it or regret it...it will always be a part of her even she barely recognize it, and it will surely fade in time...but it will always be a part of her just like how they have always been, and always will...

He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to his chest...She hesitated in his arms at first before she closed her eyes, and finally let her tears shed. Thank you...that's all I've ever want, she thought as she wrapped her arms around his waist, and smiled.

(Author's Note - Zelda's Point of View)

I remembered that I've watched the fishguy holding her at the dock before I suddenly found myself opened my eyes in the middle of Dimitri's living room...we're back? I looked at the fishguy as he looked at Elisa who remained unconscious.

"She'll wake up", I told him, "Just give her time" I added, "and don't forget to get back in the tub", he nodded as I yawned, "Alright, I'm gonna go to bed now. Good luck" I finished, and left the room.

We look at the woman we love as she remain sleeping / Nightmares no longer bothering her and we are happy that she is finally happy / We will wait and will wait until she wake up / We will take her to our home the home with birds fish and the trees and we will be by her side when our baby is ready /

We walked toward the open whole of the cave (window) where the rain is falling softly / Father...Mother...I'm going to be a father / we roared gently across the sky to our family...our home...

Charlie's message is unheard by human on land, but it have traveled across the world to every magical lands on Earth. Munin and Cedrica walked out from their shelter and looked up the sky...another life would join their cycles...they're going to be grandparents...

(Author's Note - Finally Elisa's Point of View)

How long was I out? I rose up from sofa, and turned my face toward the dim lights I noticed. I took a while for my eyesight to come back, and noticed a pair of golden eyes that have been waiting for me.

"My love?" that was the first word I can signed.

I don't know what happened, and why did I signed that, but the next thing I felt was his arms wrapped around me. I returned the embraced, and patting his back until he finally let go of me.

"Sorry", he signed hopelessly as all I could do was shook my head, "Sorry", he kept going.

He'll never stop...I don't think he would. So I reached, and held him down to my chest as I lay back on the sofa. He no longer needs to apologize. I'm done with wasting our precious time on the past. No one can choose how it happened; I want it to end there, I don't want it to hurt people I care more than how it already have. I stroked his head to calm him down, and we laid there for a while until it's time for him to get back in the tub.

He slipped into the bathtub, and submerged his head to breathe through his gills. I was about to move back to sit on the floor near the tub until he offered his hand. I stripped my clothes, and folded it neatly on top of the sink.

I slid into the tub, and laid my head on his chest. He caressed his hand gently on my waist before moved down to my belly, and purred softly. I don't know what he tried to tell until he guided my hand to my belly. It barely help, but I know what he tried to tell me is important based on how desperate his eyes were, and that's...was when it finally hit me.

"Our Child"

GOD! I EDITED THIS CHAPTER LIKE 100 TIMES AND CRIED 100 TIMES. This chapter is the real healing writing for me, the past is in the past, it can never change, but it will always be a part of you. Honestly I no longer recognized the time when I was bullied, or how I was bullied, but with some reason I still remember I hurt it was. I don't know you guys every have that feeling or not when you just feel sad without knowing why because you no longer remember why, but it happen to me, and I want to let it all go so it won't be able to hurt people I care with my own sadness.

I hope you like this chapter, it means a lot to me
