CHAPTER 29: The Next Generation

Sara landed in the front yard of their mansion. When Diva got off her back with their babies, she changed back to human form. She took the baby with blue eyes and held her carefully and tenderly. She smiled warmly. Then she looked to Diva.

Diva smiled back and leaned in to give her a kiss.

"See, Sara" Diva said as she gazed at their two daughters. "They were born beautiful and healthy. So you're not a monster. So you don't have to kill yourself" Sara gasped in surprise. Diva looked at her. "I always knew that was what you planned to do. Please don't do it, Sara. My family won't be complete without you"

Sara looked at Diva and their babies. Tears flowed out of her eyes as the pain and sadness of her past finally lessened. It had always been crippling, but now it was nothing more than an ache. It would always be there, but for the first time ever, she saw a brighter tomorrow.

"As do I, my daughter" a woman's voice said from behind her.

Sara froze and then turned around slowly. Diva looked toward the voice as well as her eyes began to glow blue. The woman standing behind them was beautiful. Her skin was flawless and pale. Her hair was light brown and fell to her waist in a braided ponytail. Her eyes were a deep green. She was dressed in a black dress that had long sleeves and fell to just above her knees. She also had on black sapphire-studded ankle-length boots and a blue ribbon in her hair.

The woman folded her hands in front of her innocently. "Relax, Diva" she said in a deceptively sweet voice. "I'm not here to fight. I came to see my daughter and my darling little grandchildren"

Diva looked at Sara questioningly. Sara smiled in welcome. "It's alright, Diva. This is Illyria, my mother. She may be ruthless and merciless, but she would never harm her family. Not unless they gave her a reason to"

"That's right" Illyria said, suddenly standing by Diva's side. "Now may I please see the future of my people?"

Sara handed Illyria the baby she held and Diva hesitantly did the same. Illyria smiled down at them approvingly. "Oh, they are so cute. Have you named them yet?"

Diva's eyes went back to normal. They had decided on names long before now. She placed her hand against the cheek of the blue-eyed baby. "This is Aerith"

Sara did the same with the brown-eyed baby. "And this is Melina"

Illyria smiled broadly. "Definitely names fit for the next queens of Chiroptera and Daimons. Oh and, that reminds me" She kissed Diva on the cheek. "You are the perfect mate for my daughter.

"Welcome to my family, Diva"

Saya sat on a park bench. Solomon suddenly appeared and sat next to her. He placed a hand over one of her clenched fist. Saya looked at him and smiled gratefully. But the sadness didn't leave her face.

"What is the matter, Saya?" Solomon asked her with concern.

Saya looked away. "I failed to kill Diva. And now...." She placed her hand against her stomach. "Now the fight is going to fall to our children. It wasn't a life I wanted for them" She looked at him. "Aren't you worried, Solomon?"

Solomon gave her a smile. "I'm actually surprised that you are. They won't be fighting alone, Saya. We will be fighting right alongside them. So will the Red Shield and whatever humans they make Chevaliers"

"They may be shielded physically, Solomon" She put her hand over her heart. "But no one can protect them from the emotional pain they will feel. And THAT is what I worry about"

And now so did he.

A/N: Diva's Bride is now finished. Please read the sequel 'The Next Generation'. Again, it will be a Family/Romance fic. It will be coming soon. But it MAY not be until after Christmas. Please review!
