Griselda peeled her eyes open as she slowly took in her surroundings. She was in a bed in the Medical Wing of Alfea, her papa and mama sleeping curled up in chairs together next to said bed, her husband in bed with her with his arms wrapped around her waist, and Bloom still out cold on the bed next to her.
"Selda." Palladium murmured, his eyes opening slowly when Griselda began to sob slightly, realizing that it wasn't just a bad dream. Her baby was really dead.
"Shh Selda shh. It's okay it's okay. The babies are fine." Palladium said softly and quietly, holding Griselda tighter as he nuzzled her hair.
"H-How? O-Ophelia said that-"
"Shh I know what Ophelia said, luv, but she was wrong. Your magic reacted to the danger it sensed when you were fighting that guy on Earth. It shielded and protected our little ones from the danger, but it also shielded them from the scan. That's why Ophelia thought they were dead. Faragonda found out when she ran a scan over you on instinct." Palladium said kissing his wife's forehead as he held her tighter while she was shocked and happy.
"T-The baby's alive?" Griselda asked her voice wavering as she looked up at him hopefully.
"Yes luv our babies are fine. Faragonda found out during the scan…we're having twins luv." Palladium said softly with a wide grin on his face as he moved one of his hands to his wifes abdomen.
"T-Twins?" Griselda said starting to smile as she reached down and placed a hand over her, for now, flat stomach.
"Yes luv, twins. It's still too early to tell what gender they are though." Palladium said smiling widely before looking startled when Griselda began to cry again.
"What's wrong luv? D-Did you not want twins?" Palladium asked concerned and worried while Griselda shook her head at him.
"Noth-Nothings wrong. I-I'm just so happy that our little ones aren't dead…and that there's twins." Griselda said smiling beatifically at her husband who smiled down at her lovingly as he lent down and kissed her forehead again.
"I'm glad you're happy luv, and don't worry about the tears. I think we can blame those on the hormones." Palladium said, teasing a bit at the last comment and causing Griselda to chuckle even as she buried her face in her husbands chest. They stayed like that for a few moments, Griselda snuggling close to her husband and Palladium holding his wife protectively.
"How's Miss Bloom?" Griselda asked suddenly remembering the red head when she heard said red head groan and move around slightly on the other bed.
"…She'll live but she'll be out cold for a while and she needed a blood transfusion but other than that…I don't know. I was a little more focused on you and our babies." Palladium said sheepishly causing Griselda to sigh in relief that her student was, for the most part it seemed, going to be okay.
"And there's no telling what sort of mental and emotional scars she might have when she wakes up." Griffin said causing the two to jump and look up at her. Griffin snickered in amusement as her daughter pouted at her for scaring her for a minute before brightening up when her papa smiled at her.
"How are you feeling dear? Starting to get any cravings from my grandchildren yet?" Griffin asked slightly teasing as she smiled down at her daughter who smiled up at her and shook her head in the negative.
"Not yet papa but-" Here Griselda was cut off by her stomach rumbling loudly, causing her parents and husband to laugh as she blushed in embarrassment.
"You stay here and rest some more. I'll be right back with something for you to eat." Palladium said kissing his wifes cheek before getting up and leaving the medical wing.
"…He's going to be overprotective isn't he?" Griselda asked after staring after her husband for a minute, causing her two parents to nod while they all jumped at a chuckle from Bloom.
"I don't know bout Magix…but on Earth when the wife's pregnant the husband usually does get a bit overprotective." Bloom said not opening her eyes as the three women rushed to her side, Griselda scrambling out of her bed quickly and sitting in a chair beside Blooms bed.
"How are you feeling Miss Bloom?" Griselda asked while Griffin went to get Ophelia as Faragonda ran a small scanning spell on her.
"Like I got hit by a truck, attacked by the Army of Decay, beaten up by the Trix and Darkar, went bungee jumping from Cloud Towers roof without a harness, and got caught up in Stella blowing up the science lab." Bloom said all of these completely deadpanned and blunt without once opening her eyes.
"That was very….descriptive?" Faragonda asked more than said as she raised an eyebrow at the girls description of how she felt.
"Yeah and accurate, trust me I've had all happened at one time or another but the last one!" Bloom said snickering slightly as she sat up.
"What do you mean Miss Bloom?" Griffin asked returning with Ophelia who immediately rushed over to check on the red head.
"I've been hit by a fire truck before, and trust me those things hurt! The army of Decay attacked everyone so that's a given, the Trix and Darkar hate my guts so getting beat up by them is a no brainer, bungee jumping from Cloud Tower…I was bored and it wasn't my fault that the harness freakin broke!" Bloom said grinning cheekily over at the green skinned woman, although she still didn't open her eyes.
"Why aren't you opening your eyes Miss. Bloom?" Griselda asked shortly before Palladium and DuFour came in carrying a tray of food each, Palladium setting his down on Griseldas lap while DuFour set hers down next to Bloom. Bloom sniffed the air for a second before turning towards DuFour.
"Thanks Madam DuFour. Hey Professor Palladium. Oh yeah. Congrats you two." Bloom said looking towards Griselda and Palladium while everyone was startled. She hadn't opened her eyes once so how did she know who walked in?
"Thank you but how did you know it was them?" Griselda asked placing a hand over her stomach protectively as she looked at the red head.
"Their scents." Bloom said causing everyone to blink.
"Scents?" Palladium asked tilting his head to the side slightly in confusion.
"Yeah everyone has a unique scent all their own, although they do carry a bit of their parents scents too. Ms. Faragonda has the scent of books and sugar." Here Bloom pointed at Faragonda while Griffin and Griselda snickered.
"Well we know that's true. She loves sweets and reading." Griffin said teasing her wife who swatted her upside the head.
"Ms. Griffin smells of books, rain, and brimstone." Bloom said causing Faragonda to nod.
"Cause she loves reading, dancing in the rain and her magic is hell fire." Faragonda deciphered easily enough.
"Miss Griselda smells like a mixture of the two and then some. Rain, books, sugar, a forest like smell, and a water based smell all her own." Bloom said causing Palladium to nod, he noticed that his wife did smell like that sometimes.
"Cause she loves reading, dancing in the rain, eating sweets, and the water one must be her water magic but what's the forest one?" DuFour said curiously, deciphering most of them easily enough.
"It's what marks her as Professor Palladiums wife or mate at least. They're scents are all over each other like Miss Griffin and Miss Faragondas are." Bloom said snickering slightly while Griselda blushed lightly and the two couples exchanged looks, they didn't know they smelt like their significant other.
"Professor Palladium smells like the forest, the watery one from Ms. Griselda, fruit, and earth." Bloom reeled off, causing the others to nod since that made since. He was an elf, he was supposed to smell like the earth and forests although the fruit one came from his love of fruit probably.
"And Miss DuFour seems to have the most unique scent. She smells like star fruit, ink, and hot chocolate complete with marshmallows which is strange." Bloom said turning and looking at DuFour who blinked at this. The ink was from her power over words but how did the girl smell her favorite drink and fruit on her too?
"Why is that?" Faragonda asked curiously.
"Usually when I smell fruit of any type, it's just a generic thing. Like I can tell you Professor Palladium smells like fruit but I couldn't tell you a specific one although I can pick up the strongest scent amongst them all, which is apples. For some reason everything is a lot…easier, I suppose you can say, to smell when it comes to Miss DuFour." Bloom said shrugging her shoulders, she had no clue why that was but DuFour's eyes widened at this as the others stared at her.
"You still haven't answered my question. Why haven't you opened your eyes yet?" Griselda asked causing Bloom to give a small sad smile. Her answer caused everyone to suck in a breath in shock.
"I did a little while ago…while Miss Griffin was talking…there's no use in me opening them anymore…I'm blind now."
