Sorry for the wait. But there is the next part of this fic. I have no idea of how long it will last, but I want to excuse myself for the lack of update for the coming weeks. You would not have any update for almost three weeks. Again, I'm sorry, but you need to know that I would not let this story unfinished. Thanks to all who have left me a review. I hope you will enjoy it still.

Disclaimer : I will write it only once, because everyone is aware that if we have the right of the game we will not just write fanfic about it. So, it's done, and I will never do it again.

Chapter 1 : Illness

The the last month, Light had lived with Snow and Serah as their adoptive daughter. She really loved to be the youngest for once. Not that she will confess it in front of anyone. All in all, her life is now better than her previous one. Even if she is currently as a six month old baby, and her teeth had begun to grow. And it hurt like hell !

Much to her surprise, Snow was a really good father. It was often him who wake up at night to feed her. And she almost feel shame when she used him as practice target. She had lost most of her strength during her transformation, and she is no more able to punch Snow when she felt frustrated. But fortunately, she had found that her stuffed toys were really good at doing the job. She don't have lost her aims, and more than often, Snow found his head with a new hat. Mostly her brown and pink dog toy.

But there is something who bothered her a lot. It was the strange taste her sister seems to have with the colour pink. Not that she hate this colour, but pink surrounded her, and it made her a little scared of it. She had almost hundred dresses which all of them are pink. It was a nightmare. Fortunately, she was growing too much to her be able to wear all of these dress. Light wished to be able to speak, but she still can't do it. She isn't even able to say "mommy" and "daddy" like her parents wished her for. She really loved them, and she became very impatient to made them proud of her.

Hope was very worried. For a whole week, no one knows where Light had go. It was him who had discovered that the door of the soldier was open this morning. He had forget that he was needed at school and had run to Light's house. He don't know what he had expected, but there is nothing out of place in the house, except for some shattered glass on the floor . Hope has just expected for Light to go to a secret mission in a hurry. So, for this time, he had let the mystery of Light's disappearance not bothered him too much. He had closed the door with the hidden key. Light had show him where it was hidden in case of she had to leave in a hurry.

The next two weeks, Hope had hoped for Light to return home, but she don't have. And he had become worriede again. He knows that it surely was his imagination, but he can't help himself but thought that Light is in a big trouble. He can feel it deep in his heart. But he can't do anything about it. He is too young, and no one wanted to hear him. But he can't stay here without doing anything. There is surely something he can do ! Never before he had hate himself for his age. If he was older, then no one would look strangely at them when he walked with Light, discussing some topic or an other. If he was older, the soldier would heard him when he asked what Light's mission was. He wanted so much to be at age.

His worries have increased when the commander Amodar had pay him a visit to ask him if he knows where Lightning had go. Hope was so surprised by this that, for a couple of minute, he don't have known how to response to this. The commander had seem the distress on the boy's face, and he had understand long before the boy found his voice again, that he can't have any answer from him. It was not like Lightning to leave everything. The girl is one of the best soldier he had known. The way she had overcome her fate as L'cie was enough proof of it. Of course, she was very depressed for the last months, but the commander don't have thought that it was so deep. Now he was very worried for her, and he can't found the courage to go to ask Lightning's sister. Someone need to do it, but it will be better if it was from a friend. That's why the commander had go to the Estheim's house. He was sure that the boy would not refuse to ask Serah about her sister's whereabouts. And he was right.

Serah and Snow were waiting for the doctor to look at baby Belle. Both of them were aware that something is wrong with the baby. She is growing too fast, much too fast. Normally, she would be a three months baby, but she looked and acted like a baby of one years old. Otherwise she looked perfectly fine, but it still worried them. They have become very attached to the little girl, and none of them wanted for something happen to her. Belle had become their miracle child, and more since they have discovered that Serah can't become pregnant. When she was younger, serah was very ill. She had hid this fact from her sister and mother to not bothered them. And she was cured, but the lasting effect was that Serah can't have any child. If they don't have Belle in their house at this time, Serah would have surely made a very big mistake. But Belle was there and she had helped Serah to forget her suicide wish.

The doctor come to the waiting room with a smiling Belle in his arm. The baby was a real heartbreaker. Even a man like him who see a lot of children each day, can say that she is from an other category as the other. Which is sad, knowing that she was so ill. Belle had a very rare desease. When it will take a year for a normal baby to developpe, it will only take two or three months for Belle to do it. It was close from the progeria without the bad effect. Because except for her unatural growth, she was perfectly fine. If he had not known better, the doctor would have say that she was a perfectly healthy one year old baby.

Serah and Belle were crying in Snow arm. Belle was mostly crying because Serah do it than for real sadness. Why does this happen to them ? They have thought of Belle as a gift from whatever god outside, but their child had an incurable illness, and there is nothing they can do about it. If nothing stopped the process, then in less than thirty years their daughter would be dead of old age. It was not fair, but it explained why her parents have left Belle in front of their door. They don't have wanted her anymore when they have found out about her illness. These people don't deserved to have their daughter back. Belle is their and it's time for them to be a real family. Belle was with them for the last three months, which means that they can adopt her legally. And there is nothing who can stop them from doing so.

Hope was happy when he found out that Snow and Serah have adopter a little girl. These two were means to be parent, and Hope is happy for them. When Serah would have her own children, then the girl can play with them. She was a lucky one to have them for parent. His joy is so high for them that he almost forget his worry for Light. But soon Light again become his first priority, like she always was, and always be in the future. And the party snow and Serah have planed for their daughter would be the excellent occasion to ask Serah about Light.

When he knocked at the Villiers door, Hope felt a little unsure of himself. He had bought a dress for the girl but now he wondered if she even loved the colour yellow. When he had saw it in the market, he had no doubt that this dress would be the perfect gift. And even if he don't have known the size of the baby, he had chose one of eighteen months old. But now he wondered if it was such a good idea at all. But before he can hid his gift, the door open and Hope found himself in Snow's bear hug. When Snow released him, Hope was on the floor catching his breath. He had closed his eyes, but he opened them when he felt someone caressing his face. The most beautiful little girl was in front of him. She was no older than eighteen months old and she made his heart skip a beat. She looked so much like the woman he had a crush for,that he can't help himself but ask " Light, is that you ?".

The baby only smiled at him, and Hope soon forget this strange idea. There is no way that his beloved Light had become a baby. Things like this happen only in fiction, not in the real life. He take the smiling little girl in his arm, and there is one thing he was sure at this time. He don't know how or why, but Belle Villiers had take his heart for her now and forever.

To be continued.
