Moonbeams Ch9 the Return and Some Surprises
"Colette, we're home," Lloyd smiled as he led Noishe, with Colette still on his back, towards the small crowd that had gathered out of nowhere.
"It's Lloyd and the Chosen."
"The've returned at last."
"They managed to save the world."
Among the many voices, Lloyd heard one which made him smile. "Genis, Presea, just wait, we can see then when they get to Colette's house. However, Genis and his girlfriend pushed through the crowd, without heeding Raine's words.
"Colette, Lloyd, it's great to see you again," Genis said as he finally managed to get to them. At this the older couple stopped and Colette beamed.
"It's good to see you two too," the blonde replied to her childhood friend. Lloyd just gave a curt nod.
"What's up Lloyd, you're acting just like you're father," Genis asked.
Lloyd cringed slightly at the mention of Kratos, he was gone and there was nothing they could do but get by without him there to breath down various necks. He pulled himself together and looked up at Genis. "Well actually I was thinking about what Raine'll do when she catches you two."
As if on cue, Raine appeared from the crowd and grabbed Genis and Presea's arms. "What did I tell you two to do? I said WAIT! Now you know what happens to bad children?"
"Presea's not really a child though, she's 29 now," Genis cryed out, trying to get his girlfriend out of trouble.
"Well she acts like it a lot, but do you want to take the punishment for both of you?"
"Y-yes," gulped Genis.
Lloyd quickly led Colette away, before Raine started her child abuse.
o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o
As Lloyd helped Colette down from Noishe, her father opened the door to the house. He smiled at the couple, at Colette went straight to him to hug her father. "Daddy, it's been ages."
Lloyd walked away from the touching scene, having already agreed with Colette to leave her there with her parents until bedtime: he had something to do, but he had not told Colette what yet. He saw the crowd was still there, and smirked as he spread his wings, and everybody 'ohhhh'ed and 'ahhhh'ed, as if they were at a fireworks display. Laughing to himself, Lloyd flew back towards Dirk's house, with a smile still in place.
o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o
Genis collapsed onto his backside and wished he had not. It hurt like Hell. He was sure that there must be a law against smacking a child like Raine did. Presea sat next to him and put an arm round the boy.
"How badly does it hurt?" The girl asked, as Genis let out an 'argh' from the pain.
"Pretty bad."
"You saved my arse, literally."
Genis half smiled, "Well you're okay, so that makes me happy." Presea smiled at this and kissed Genis passionately. The battle for dominance going on in their mouths was enough to keep Genis' mind off the pain. When both were nearly out of breath, they broke off the kiss, and just sat smiling at each other. Genis stood up after a while and Presea followed suit, wondering what he was about to do.
"Come with me," the boy said, and he started to walk away. Presea followed, curious about what Genis had planned.
Genis led the girl into his house, up the stairs and into his bedroom. He sat on his bed and motioned for her to do likewise. Presea sat next to him. It was a plain bed, which fitted the plain room. The only real colour was the bookcase, which was full of books on every subject from cooking to base mana theorum. His tabble was also covered in books, all neatly in piles.
"Genis, why..." She did not get a chance to finish her question, as Genis kissed her again. When they broke off, he replied "I wanted some privacy."
"For what sort of things?"
The half-elf smilled, "Anything we want," he replied, silently thanking his magic abillities that he could make a condom out of the wind.
o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o
Lloyd landed outside Colette's home. He had done what he needed, now he just needed some sleep. He felt the little box in his pocket and smiled. He knocked, and then the door was opened by Colette's grandmother. She was smiling, "Come in." As Lloyd entered, he saw Colette at the kitchen table.
She looked up at his entry and smiled, getting up and hugging him. "Lloyd, good news! I told my parents about us, and Raine came and had a look at me, and you'll never guess what."
"What is it then?"
"Well, you know how we're both angels, it means the pregnancy period is probably shortened."
Lloyd raised an eyebrow, "How much shorter are we talking."
"Total of about four months."
"WHAT? But that's only..."
"A month or so left, then we have our baby!"
Lloyd shook his head, Colette was far too excited, she was going completely insane over this baby, and now Lloyd only had a month to prepare, mentally and physically, for the baby. He'd have to find a place for it to sleep, get clothes, a cot... To put it concisely, he was sure he would go mad getting ready.
For Colette's part, she had every right to be excited, she was having a baby after all, and she would not have to spend nearly as long carrying it. She was overjoyed that her parents were happy about it, and her Grandmother could see a grandchild before she died. Every thing was good. And on top of everything else, it was her birthday in only a week.

Genis collapse back onto the bed, exhausted. They had been going for several hours. He was happy. Laid at thirteen, that's not a bad thing at all. The girl next to him pulled herself closer, and lay her head on his chest.
She smiled at him, "Th-that was... amazing Genis."
"Yes, only time I' ve heard anybody scream that loudly."
Presea gave a light laugh and snuggled closer. 'Yes, thought Genis, this has been a good day."

A/N: Awwwwwwwwwww that's so cute. Yeah another chapter done. I'm changing the rating to M I think, just to be on the safe side after the last few chapters. My apologies for the slow and irregular updates, I only get the chance at weekends, and not every weekend. It's nearly Xmas. WOOHOO. Ahem my apologies for that sudden outburst of emotion there, but Xmas also means it nearly my birthday, (30th Dec). Thanks again to all reviewers. Next chapter, Colette's birthday.
