Disclaimer: I don't own them, if I did, I'd probably have a lot more fun. :P

Curiosity

Before either her or Cain could start talking about what they were going to tell her parents or before they even decided what they were going to do another thought struck DG and she couldn't help but run with it. She probably should have gotten into the subject a little more delicately but she couldn't help but jump into it with her usual sledgehammer style.

"You guys do have sex here in the O.Z. right? I mean I know I decided to wait and everything, but that was with the understanding that I'd be able to have it someday." DG said.

Cain opened his mouth to respond but DG interrupted him before he could say anything.

"I don't really care if you don't normally have sex in the O.Z. If I'm pregnant and carrying a baby, I will get sex and it will be from you, I don't even care if you don't know how. If it's your baby, then you get to step up and take it like a man. Cause I am not living out the rest of my life without the sex option, and I am not being a pregnant virgin! No way will I ever live with those jokes, even if I'm probably the only one who knows them!" She said.

Cain sighed again and went to say something but once again DG interrupted.

"It's not negotiable so don't even try. And if you don't know what sex is, well I'll explain it later. Now, got anything to say?" She asked him, hands on her hips.

"Gonna let me talk princess?" Cain asked semi sarcastically before he continued talking. "Relax Dg, we have sex here in the O.Z. it's just not how we have babies anymore. A couple generations ago some scientist got it into his head that there were a lot of unwanted babies or unwanted pregnancies and thought that we needed something to reduce this. So he made the brands." He explained, looking at DG to see if she was following. When she nodded that she got it he continued.

"Every male gets a band made when he's born, then later ha gets it when he reaches puberty. They only work in his presence and only right after he's been touching it."

"I guess that makes some sense, but were there really that many unwanted children that somebody thought this was a good idea?" She asked, curious.

"Yeah, well, something in the O.Z. made the females really fertile. It didn't take much to make them pregnant. Scientist and alchemists believed that it was the same thing that made the O.Z. so full of life and magic that made them more fertile. So they believed that they had to do something, and the bands were their idea."

"So what were you doing with this thing out?" She asked curious. He had been sitting there studying it before she picked it up after all.

"I honestly thought I has lost it, or that it had been destroyed but it was in the box of things that Jeb and I brought back with use when we visited our old home. It just got me thinking about Jeb, and how much I had missed out on his life and how I didn't think I'd get the opportunity to have a second chance." Cain told her, looking up at her when he finished.

"But I guess I do, and this time, I want to be fully involved DG, I don't want to miss anything."

DG felt her heart skip a beat. But did that mean that he simply wanted to be there for his child or did he want to be there with her? At some point soon she was going to have to get the answer to that but it wasn't something that needed to be asked right that moment. Not with everything else they had to deal with.

"Okay, so we're raising this baby together, I guess we'll figure everything else out soon enough. But first, I think that we should probably tell the others. This isn't something that is gong to stay secret for long and I really don't want to keep this from them." She said.

Cain nodded, standing up.

"Let's go tell the others then." He said, holding out a hand for her to take.

DG smiled up at him as she took his hand and they walked out the door.

"Weren't those made so accidental pregnancies didn't happen anymore? Wasn't that the reason for them?" Az asked a now silent room. She, apparently, was the first one to get over the shock of the news.

Glitch, who now had his whole brain back but still liked to be called Glitch by close friends, nodded. His mouth was hanging open but after a moment he was able to gather himself enough to start speaking.

"They were made to cut down the pregnancies so that a woman would only get pregnant when she wanted, not almost every time she - well you know." He said, slightly blushing at the end.

Cain shot a look of amusement at DG, which made her blush.

She had known it was too good to be true when he hadn't brought up her rant about sex during the time they had been talking, only telling her that yes, the O.Z. did have sex. She had started to think that he was just going to let it go, but she should have known better. He was just saving it to bring it up later. She knew that now wasn't the time that they were going to talk about it but he apparently thought it was a good time to tease her about it.

After all, Glitch was blushing without having even said the word and she had not only said it multiple times but demanded that they have it.

"Yes well, they obviously never took our DG into account." Ahamo said, a cross between amused and horror struck. Amused because really, only DG could find herself in this sort of situation. And horror struck because it was his DG, his baby girl, who found herself into this situation.

"Only DG, could manage to get herself pregnant on accident." Az said, and the others nodded in agreement.

The queen however did not nod. She was too busy trying to think up a new schedule for DG. One that would keep her to busy to have anymore alone time but still was going to be easy on her now pregnant daughter. She sighed, she would have to think it out some more but in the worse case she could always assign DG lots and lots of guards.

Looking up she looked at her youngest daughter and at the slight blush that adorned her cheeks as she half heartedly glared at her sister and friends, who were laughing at Az's last comment.

Lots and lots of guards.

"So, do you two know what your going to do yet? Have you decided how your going to handle all of this?" Ahamo asked, curious as to what they were going to do.

DG looked at Cain then looked hesitantly at her father.

"Well, we're still trying to figure that out. This didn't happen too long ago if you remember. We did decide that we are raising the baby together but everything else will be decided later." She told them all, a little uncomfortable at having to discuss that in front of everyone, even if they were the people closest to them.

"Let us know what you're going to do when you agree on it, until then, there is not much we can do until you decide what it is you want to do." Ahamo said.

"Wow, I'm kind of surprised that we got out of there alive or without the express orders to marry or something like that. I'm even more surprised though that I don't have twenty guards at the moment. I guess they think your enough to keep me out or anymore trouble, or I'm in all the trouble I can get right now, or maybe my mother is saving that option up for later." DG mused.

Cain and her looked at each other.

"She's saving it for later." They both said, agreeing on that option.

Once they reached his room again he ushered her in first before he followed her in, closing the door behind himself.

Leaning against the door he watched as she sat down and made herself comfortable in one of the chairs they had been sitting in earlier.

Sighing he ran a hand through his hair before taking a deep breath.

"I think it's time we had that talk, darlin'."

Alright I hope you liked this, anyway I've got one more chapter to go before it's finished.

But please tell me what you think about it! So please Review!
