Okay, I know the way it's written is weird, but I didn't know how to write it other than this, so just bare with me. Here's the 5th chapter of All's Fair in Love and War.
"I gotta go. Lindsey's meeting up with Ike soon. I'm really sorry about what happened." Lilac said. She gave him one last kiss and ran off to Ike's tent, where she transformed into Lindsey and waited for Ike to return.
Ike was actually sitting on his bed, talking to Alex, who was packed up already. "We're going to head to Crimea soon." He told Lindsey. "Alex is interested in meeting my sister, Mist."
That's good." Lindsey smiled. She leaned in and kissed Ike quickly. "I guess I'll be meeting her too." Lindsey said. "So, when are we leaving?" Lindsey asked Alex. Alex shrugged. "Soon. In a couple hours."
"So, what should we do?" Lindsey asked Ike. "Get ready to go. I have yet to pack." Ike said. "Aww, but I already packed for both Lilac and I." Lindsey whined. "Then I'm the only one left?" Ike blinked.
Lindsey frowned. "So what am I supposed to do while you pack?" She asked. "Maybe... just wait a bit?" Ike suggested. "I guess Lilac can go train/play with Marth." Lindsey sighed. "Okay." Ike then remembered. "No, wait... that would be a bad idea right now..."
"You mean his sister's death?" Lindsey asked Ike nodded. "Yeah..."
Lindsey sighed. "Well what's there to do?" Lindsey whined, upset she couldn't spend time with Ike after they finally got together. "I don't have much!" Ike said, finally packed after two minutes. Lindsey frowned. "I'm sorry I've been so whiny. I guess I'm still kinda tired." Lindsey apologized. "It's fine!"
Lindsey reached up and kisses Ike. "I'm really sorry, I love you." She smiled. "Love you too." Ike said, kissing her back. Alex just smiled.
"So, now what do we do?" Lindsey asked, realizing they couldn't do much with Alex still there, she felt it was inappropriate. Alex chuckled. "Need some privacy, you two?"
Lindsey blushed. "That would be nice." She said quietly. Alex nodded, taking his stuff and heading out.
Once Alex was gone, Lindsey turned to Ike and kissed him. "So, what fun do we have in store today?" Lindsey asked as she pulled away. Ike smiled. "You'll have to find out..." He said teasingly. Lindsey frowned. "Not even a hint?" She asked cutely. Ike shook his head. "Nope."
"Hmm…" Lindsey pretended to be in deep thought. "Does it start with this?" Lindsey asked before she kissed him passionately. Ike kissed her back. Of course it did.
Lindsey moaned as Ike kissed her. She was in heaven when they kissed. He ran his hands down her body, kissing her passionately. Ike was feeling a bit warm. Lindsey's eyes fluttered shut, as she got lost in the kiss, thoughts disappearing from her head.
Ike moaned, deepening their kiss. He leaned into her, and sighed. Lindsey wrapped her arms around his neck, never wanting to let go. Ike lied her down on his bed, lying on top of her, kissing her, wanting her all to himself. Lindsey smiled into the kiss, knowing what was next. Slowly and gently, their clothes were removed, and they spent yet another time in each other's arms.
Lindsey smiled as they lay together. Ike smiled, too. "You're always so beautiful…" He murmured. Lindsey put her hand to her love's face. "And you, are soo sexy." She smiled. "You are my knight in shining armor." She finished. She leaned in and kissed him lightly.
Ike smiled at her. "Can I say the feeling's mutual?" He asked before kissing her back. "Obviously." She smiled. Ike chuckled. "We should get dressed.. We're leaving in fifteen minutes." He said, checking the clock. Lindsey wanted to stay there next to him, but got up and got dressed anyway. She then grabbed her bag from where she left it earlier and got ready to leave.
Ike, Marth and Alex stood on one side of the gate while Lindsey stood on the other. "We'll see you." Ike said. "Be careful!" "Don't get hurt!" Alex squeaked. "Be careful, Lindsey and Lilac..." Marth said.
"I love you Ike! I'll be safe Alex! I'll take care of her Marth!" Lindsey called as she waved. "Bye you guys!" Lindsey smiled. She turned around, stepped into the car and let the driver take her home. It was a long way home, but it wasn't to bad. She was given bread and cheese for the road, as well as 3 bottled waters, seeing as her hometown was pretty far. She told the driver to stop a block away from town. The driver nodded and did as told.
She got out and walked through the forest that lead her home. On the way, there were people who attacked her, and she defeated them all, not letting them lay a finger on her, and when she got to her town, everyone applauded, even her attackers. She was home.
Ike and Alex took the long way back to Crimea, while Marth headed for Altea. They refused to let anyone drive them, seeing as they had to use the Kiltos Gates to get to their world. "It'll be fine, Alex. You'll like them. Trust me." "Y-you're crazy, Ike..."
"Welcome home Lindsey." said the town elder, Kashikoi. "Arigato Kashikoi sensei" Lindsey bowed. "Doidashimashite Lindsey-san." Kashikoi bowed. "Your mother is waiting for you." Kashikoi said. "May I go see her sensei?" Lindsey asked. "Yes child, you may." Kashikoi nodded. Lindsey bowed to her old teacher before she ran off home.
She got there and frowned. "Oka-san?" Lindsey asked. "I'm in here." came a weak voice. She walked over to her mother's room to find her lying fragile on her bed. "Oka-san!" Lindsey exclaimed as she ran to her mother's side. "Oka-san, what's wrong?" she asked as she put her hand to her mother's head, then cheek. "I became ill trying to figure out a cure for your sister, I eventually found it. Now I'm just waiting for the town clinic to get another shipment of what is required in the remedy. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you." Her mother apologized. "Demo, Oka-san!" Lindsey protested. "iie, now go, bring your sister back to her body." Her mother ordered. Lindsey nodded, eyes full of tears. She ran off to her sister's room. When she got there, she saw that Lilac's body still lay where it did when she fell gravely ill all those years ago.
"I see your mother told you what happened." came a voice. Lindsey turned around to see the voice came from the town elder. "Sensei!" Lindsey exclaimed. "Do not fret child, she will be fine." Kashikoi promised. Lindsey nodded, wiping away her tears.
"I see you and Lilac have found someone to love." The elder said. "H-how did you know?" Lindsey asked. "I can sense a child with in you, and the only way for that to happen to two souls that hold one body is if they both become pregnant." Kashikoi explained.
"But... what about the baby then? How can we move it to Lilac's body?" Lindsey asked. "There are two souls in this child's body, I will simply transfer both souls into Lilac's body and create a holder for the child, a holder that is at the stage the baby is at right now, hopefully it will grow, otherwise Lilac will have to stay here for me to help it grow." Kashikoi told Lindsey. Lindsey nodded her approval.
"Alright, hold on." Kashikoi said. She muttered incoherent words and did weird hand movement and a white light glowed around Lindsey. Suddenly, Lindsey felt a burden be lifted off her body and saw Lilac's soul leave, along with a small glowing orb that must have been the child's soul. Both souls were placed into Lilac's body. The white light around Lindsey's body disappeared, but another one glowed around Lilac and where the baby was. Lilac's body, still that of a child's, aged rapidly. Then, a small light glowed around her abdomen as Kashikoi created a holder for the baby.
The white light then faded away and Lilac's eye's fluttered open. "L-Lindsey?" Lilac said, voice weak. "Yes, Lilac?" Lindsey asked for the first time in a long time. "Did I hear right? Are we both pregnant?" Lilac asked. Lindsey blushed but nodded. "O-oh." Lilac said, voice still weak. She then closed her eyes and slept.
"W-what's the matter with her? I thought they healed her body!" Lindsey exclaimed worried. "Do not worry, she is simply tired from the travel from your body, to the in-between world, to her own body. She'll be awake and well rested by tomorrow." Kashikoi assured Lindsey. Lindsey nodded.
"Now, go, rest child. You will have a long journey to visit your love." Kashikoi said as she mysteriously left without explaining. Lindsey did as she was told and went to sleep; the drive had taken up most of the day and she too was exhausted.
Marth rushed home as quickly as he could, not caring what anyone else thought of the prince's actions. He hurried to the palace of Altea. One of his advisors came and told him the news of the child. As with Shiida, Marth burst into tears hearing that the child had passed overnight. The last piece that bound him to his sister, gone. Her child... gone... because of Anri's curse.
He thought of Lilac. Would she, too, succumb to Anri's curse, and her child die? He hoped it wasn't true. Marth headed to his quarters, and found some suitable clothes for mourning, as the entire kingdom was in mourning for Elisse's passing.
Ike and Alex headed to Crimea, where Ike was suddenly tackle-hugged.
"Brother, you're here! I missed you! How's the war?" His little sister, Mist, asked.
"Urg, get off, you're heavy!" Ike said. Alex chuckled. Mist looked at him.
"Brother, who's that?" She asked.
"Alex. He's a medic back at base." Ike said. "He's the one who healed Soren when he got injured badly."
Mist looked awed. "Amazing!"

Lindsey woke up the next morning to find Lilac gone when she went to check on her in her room. "Lilac?" she asked as she saw her cooking in the kitchen. "Good morning Sis, I was hungry so I decided to try and cook some eggs. Remember how we used to watch mom as she cooked?" Lilac asked as she cooked. "Yeah, I didn't think you'd remember how she cooked..." Lindsey said confused. "I did, I always have, but with the war going on, and the cooks cooking for us, I never got a chance to try it out." Lilac smiled. She finished cooking and served Lindsey some eggs. "Mmm! It's good!" Lindsey exclaimed. "Thank you, I worked really hard on it!" Lilac smiled.
"Now hurry up and eat, we've got to go meet up with Marth to help him with mourning his sister." Lilac said. "But I said I'd go and visit Ike at his hometown!" Lindsey complained. "Well, I guess I'm going alone to Marth's kingdom. I wonder how to get there..." Lilac thought aloud. "Yeah, me too..." Lindsey said.

Marth was wearing all black, with minor stripes of gold here and there, and his tiara was gone. He walked downstairs, Falchion strapped to his hip like always. He was lost in thought. First Shiida, then Elisse and now the little one. It was all too much. Marth's eyes were cold and lifeless. He was drained emotionally. He didn't know if he could stand losing anyone else he cared for. Lilac... He shook his head. No. He wouldn't think about that now. He had matters to attend to.
Ike and Alex hung out with the Greil Mercenaries, of which Ike lead. They talked, bantered, and even gambled a bit [the latter Alex refused to join into] before finally taking a break.
"Alex, you seem pale." Ike said.
"Ugh... Soren tried making me drink something funny. I didn't like it. I think it's making me sick."
333
Lindsey decided to try calling Ike to find out how to get to where they lived. She took out her cell that her mother had gone through a lot of trouble to get for her, and called Ike.
Ike yelped, digging the phone out of his pocket while trying to get Alex to calm down. "Hello? Alex, come on, pull it together. What did Soren give you?"
"It was all red..."
"Hello my knight." Lindsey smiled. "What's wrong with Alex?" Lindsey said when she heard Ike in the background.
"I feel funny..." Alex groaned.
"Soren gave him something funny." Ike said. "How are you and Lilac?" He asked, concerned.
"We're fine. Ike, I have something to tell you, but first Lilac wants to visit Marth and I want to visit you... so... how do we do that?" Lindsey asked.
"Use the same gates we did to come to Crimea and Altea. The south is Crimea, the west is Altea." He said. "Going those ways will help you find a gate to see us."
Alex moaned. "Not feeling welll..."
"H-hey, don't throw up here!" Ike exclaimed.
Lindsey giggled. "Well okay then, I guess I'll just ask our town elder for some help, because honestly I have know clue what you mean..." Lindsey said still confused.
"O-oka- A-Alex, what the-" The phone hung up. Ike had dropped it, and its battery had come out.
"I-Ike, I don't... feel well..." Alex mumbled, cuddling up to the mercenary.
"I get that, but why the cuddle?"
"I-I'm sorry..."
Ike rolled his eyes. "Okay, Alex... what did Soren give you?"
Alex meekly held up a potion bottle. Ike nearly choked.
"WHAT THE HELL? THAT'S A LOVE POTION!"
333
"Ike? Ike!" Lindsey exclaimed. She looked at her phone. "Damn it, he must've dropped it again... I guess we'll have to talk to the town elder about it..." Lindsey told Lilac. Lilac nodded as the headed off to go talk to Kashikoi sensei.
333
They eventually figured out how to get to there lovers' worlds and bade each other farewell as they set off to the different worlds.
"Have you seen someone named Ike Greil anywhere?" Lindsey asked someone. They nodded and pointed in a direction. She nodded them thanks and ran off to the building they pointed to. Lindsey went in and quickly found Ike. It looked like Alex was trying to kiss him. She ran over and pulled Alex away.
333
"Let. Me. Through!" Lindsey yelled as she struggled against the guards of Marth's palace. "I'm his girlfriend!" She yelled. Finally Marth came to her rescue.
Alex groaned. "I feel so weird..." He said. "I feel sick.."
Ike grumbled. "Hey, Lindsey. Erm... thanks... That was strange. Soren gave him a damn love potion."
Alex continued to mutter and think, but soon wandered off.
Marth waved the guards away. Lilac could see his eyes were cold and lifeless, but when he saw her, he ran and hugged her. "Lilac! I was worried you wouldn't come!" He said.
"Ike, is there anywhere to go that's private?" Lindsey asked, wanting to tell him the good news that Kashikoi had told her.
Lilac hugged Marth back. "You okay?" Lilac asked as she pulled away.
Ike nodded, leading her to the room he stayed in at the palace of Crimea. "This is private enough. What's up?" He asked.
Marth took a breath. "My... my sister's child... died..." He said, before starting to cry again.
Lindsey blushed and looked down. "I'm pregnant." She whispered, fearing the words herself.
Lilac held onto her crying prince and waited until his tears stopped. "I'm so sorry." She said. "I can only imagine..." Lilac trailed off. "I guess there won't be an easy time to say it here." She thought aloud.
Lilac looked down, knowing it was not the best time to tell him. She thought a moment and decided against it before she heard herself say, "I'm pregnant."
"You can, Lindsey..." Ike said, hugging her gently. "I swear you can. You'll be a great mother..."
I'm soo happy, the whole pregnancy thing was my idea, and I figured that since it had been only a few days since the baby was made, or conceived, I knew not much would happen to Lindsey and Lilac's appetite or their emotions. So have fun through the many months of them being pregnant, we'll probably skip around a lot, seeing as we'll forget if we don't, but that'll be later. Have fun! :3
