Chapter 5


The Winx Club walked through the empty hallways as of right now another class was in session, "We really should be in class about now, who knows how far behind we'll be." Tecna complained; she ran her fingers through her violet pinkish hair in aggravation.

"Tec, that really is the least of our concerns right now." Musa countered; honestly they would be taking care of Flora's future child why in the magical realm should school be more of a priority? She rolled her eyes at Tecna.

Lilac's green eyes bounced back and forth between this exchanges and came to the conclusion she was the reason why Auntie Tecna was missing class, she suddenly felt very guilty "I'm sorry auntie, for taking away class time." she said, in a soft voice.

The rest of the Winx Club looked at Tecna although it was displayed in various levels their eyes had a common message apologize right now. Tecna blushed, she felt guilty at making her future niece feel bad about herself it's not like she traveled to their time based on her own free will. "Oh no it's okay, auntie Tecna was just being silly is all." she said in hopes to comfort the little girl

Lilac smiled at her auntie "I don't think it's silly to be worried for school." she said, she made eye contact with her mommy "Mommy says that one should always try his or her bestest." she added

"That sounds like very good advice." Layla said, slightly nudging Flora in the side, earning a blush from the nature fairy.

"So tell me, Lilac what's the future like? Are there any uncles we should know about?" Flora asked, she smiled at her daughter her question though piped everyone's curiosity

"OH, mommy Auntie Stella and me are shopping buddies," Stella squealed in glee and she started to map out all the shopping sprees she would take Lilac on, ("OHMYGOD NO WAY AHH I CAN"T WAIT!")

"Ha Stella chill," Bloom said, calming the sunshine child down "So what else is going on in the future?" she asked

Lilac thought for a minute, she really didn't know what to tell her aunties I mean what did they want to know? "Well last week mommy, daddy and I went to visit you and uncle Sky at your castle." she said is that what they want to hear?

Bloom's bright blue eyes widen and she blushed darkly to the point where her face matched her hair. The rest of the girls were excited by this information ("Way to go Bloom!" "I knew you two would end up together" "Castle which kingdom, dearly?") "Me and Uncle Sky?" she squeaked

Lilac looked at her auntie isn't that just what I said? She nodded "Uh huh, although last week for me, is a while for you." Her own comment made her realize something "Hey Mommy, am I allowed to call you Mommy?" her green eyes looked to her mommy's green eyes

Flora thought about it, having her future child was something she would like to keep secret from the general public. But there was no reason for her to forbid it completely after all her daughter was use to calling her 'mommy' anyway she doubt it was a habit that she could stop so easily. "You can still call me mommy when it's just us and your aunties. But when there are strangers around please refrain as much as possible, it might not be safe if the entire realm knew you were here." she softly said, recalling what she and her friends had already gone through.

And her future already had proven to her that there would be more to come.

Lilac listen to her mommy's conditions that made sense, she nodded her "Okay!"

Musa, Bloom, Tecna, Layla, and Stella smiled at their interaction it was honestly so adorable they couldn't resist watching even if they tried. Flora looked at her friends they were very happy but she saw the curious light in their eyes they are all curious to know how their futures are like... "Hey Lilac." she said

'Yes, Mommy?"

"I believe your aunties have questions about the future." she replied, giving her friends a chance to satisfy their curiosity, although she would be watching when Lilac looked tired of answering questions she would put an end to it.

(We'll keep singing, dreaming. Knowing that we won't regret this choice we made)

Miss Fargonda watched through the mirror the interaction between Flora and her daughter with the rest of their friends. But something in the cosmetic balance told her to get prepared; she knew what type of action should be taken. "Miss Griselda contact Headmaster Saladin he needs to be informed of the situation, also we may need to enlist Griffin on this too since we are dealing with dark magic" she said

Miss Griselda was a little shocked at the headmistress' orders but she quickly acted "Right away, Miss Fargonda" as she walked away she turned around to make eye contact "And I suppose we will be enlisting the assistance of a certain group of Redfountain boys?" she said

Miss Fargonda gave Miss Griselda a coy smile "Why, of course we will."

(We'll keep singing, dreaming. Knowing that we won't regret this choice we made)

"Here let me get the door for you Flo," Musa said, she was in a very upbeat mood according to the information baby Flo provided the future was defiantly something to look forward to, because they apparently they all end marrying their current loves of their lives and have children with them –who wouldn't be pleased by that type of news?

They opened the dorm room to see a multitude of children's things in their space "Oh wow Fargonda wasn't kidding when she said she would provide." Bloom said, they looked at the piles of children clothing (different outfits for different occasions), the children shampoos, washes, etc; some children toys, and several books intended to assist Flora and the girls temporary raising Lilac.

Flora picked up one of the toys that Miss Fargonda gave, and looked at closely it was an intricate top a simple toy that provided a lot of joy "Wow, remind me to thank Miss Fargonda next time I see her." she said.

"Why don't we get this stuff settled into your room Flora?" Layla said, she snapped her fingers and suddenly all the objects given to them were floating in the air

"Whoa! Howdah do that auntie?" Lilac asked her eyes wide with amazement

"With some magic," Layla said grinning at Flora's daughter. Maybe it was silly but she felt proud of receiving some astonishment from her future niece.

"Cool, am I going to do that one day?" Lilac asked

"Yes, one day you will." Flora said, she motioned the floating objects to soar in Bloom's and her room they settled themselves on her side of the room. She noticed that her bed might be a bit tight between her and Lilac she snapped her fingers and the bed expanded in order to provide more room for the both of them.

"Neat trick mommy, can you teach me later?" Lilac asked

"Sure," Flora, her arms were getting a tab bit tired from carrying her daughter (hey she wasn't use to it) but she made no complaints

Lilac noticed that her mommy's arms were a tad bit shaky oh yeah, that's right she isn't use to carrying babies and stuff yet! "Mommy you can put me down?" she asked

"Are you sure?" Flora asked

"Yes, I'm a big girl; I'm five just to let you know." Lilac said, as her mommy settled her down

All the girls chuckled at her statement, and started to put away of Lilac's stuff in convenient places while the nature fairy's daughter played with Auntie Bloom's bunny Kiko.

Musa looked at the adorable girl closely more specifically the hair color; it was obviously under the influence of the father's genes seeing it was not Flora's hair color. "Hey Bloom." she whispered

"What?" Bloom said

"How much do you wanna bet we already know who the father is?" she whispered motioning to Lilac

Bloom blinked and looked at Flora and Lilac who were both out of ear shot to hear their conversation "I would say the chance is pretty high, I mean just look at her." she whispered back

"I would have to say the probability is over 90 percent if you account all the genetic markers that Lilac has." Tecna whispered, adding her own input

"Hey you know speaking of him…" Musa dawned raising her voice which caught the attention of Flora, but not Lilac

"Hey Flo when were you talking to Helia?" Musa asked

Flora blushed, and twiddling her fingers she meekly replied "Um this morning."

Bloom's eyebrows drew in closer "No you weren't I had to wake you up, after you got ready we went to breakfast..."

"Um Helia and I were talking earlier this morning before that." Flora explained, the color on her face grew brighter

"And how early is earlier?" asked Stella joining the conversation she wiggled her perfectly plucked eyebrows in a suggestive manner.

Flora murmured a replied but no one could hear her, "Sorry Flora, can't hear you. Speak up for us please." Layla said

"am...n...ing…"

Bloom placed her hand around her ear "Hmm, what was that couldn't hear." she teased

Flora was flustered "3-3 am i-in t-the mo-morning." she said. She closed her eyes hoping that the teasing would go by faster if she did this.

"THREE IN THE MORNING?!" Stella shouted, she began to jump up and down very excitedly "Flora do YOU know what this means?!" she said

"Ummm I didn't get enough sleep this morning…"

"No, that he's totally into you!" Stella replied she squealed

"What? No-"

"Think about Flora, why else would he stay up in three am in the morning if he wasn't into you?" Bloom added

"Err, he was being nice?" Flora said

"Being nice is pretending to care but keeping the phone on while you talk to yourself, being into someone is actually responding at three in the morning." Stella retorted using her index finger to actually physically point out the difference.

"So what'd ya talk about Flo?" Musa asked, her indigo eyes shining brightly

"I had a nightmare,-"

"A nightmare? What about? Wanna talk about it?" Layla asked looking very concerned for her friend

"No, it's alright I was just overwhelmed by what I felt by the dream. Helia made it better though." Flora said

"How?" Tecna asked

"We played a game he taught me, and afterwards we just talk about stuff in general." Flora said, all the details were very cryptic though, but it did satisfy the girls' curiosity (for the most part)

"Is that why you were a little off this morning?" Tecna asked

"Partly,"

"How do you feel now?" Bloom asked

Flora looked at her daughter happily playing with cute, little Kiko; so completely oblivious to their conversation "Actually I feel better." she said A lot better, maybe it was like some sort of mother's instinct to feel something was wrong, before.

The girls did not miss the brief glance at Lilac and came to the same conclusion as Flora they smiled knowing that their friend already the comings of a great mother.

"Mommy?"

Everyone directed their attention to the little girl, "Yes Lilac?" Flora replied

"I'm hungry, when's lunch?" Lilac asked, she placed a small hand over her roaring stomach

The girls laughed at the simplicity of Lilac's perspective- it so, so innocent that it was so, so cute for the lack of a better term. (Were they really like that at her age?) "How about now?" Flora said, as she looked at the clock.

(We'll keep singing, dreaming. Knowing that we won't regret this choice we made)

"Yes, yes I understand Fargonda. Me and the boys will be more than happy to assist in this matter." Saladin said to the small holographic image of the Alfea Headmistress.

She had explained to him the whole situation regarding the nature fairy's future daughter and he would be guilty to deny he wasn't the least bit interested. Furthermore he could see the possible consequences of what may happen if something unfortunate were to happen, he had to take some action in this situation.

"Saladin, when you tell the boys don't tell them of who Lilac's mother is. We want this as much as a secret as possible. Miss Griselda, Lilac, and I will be heading over to Red Fountain personally so they may see her up close. And we will be the ones to reveal the identity of the mother." Fargonda replied

"Understood, we will be waiting for arrival." he replied, he watch the holographic image of Fargonda nod at him before it faded away.

"Professor Cordatorta." He called, through their school two way connection system

"Yes Saladin?" the tough professor replied

"I need you to pull out the following students into my office. Prince Sky, Brandon, Timmy, Riven, Nabu, and Helia." Saladin said

"Why, have they done something Headmaster?"

"No, the exact opposite. It is what they will be doing."

"Ah, I see. I'll get them 'here as fast as I can."

(We'll keep singing, dreaming. Knowing that we won't regret this choice we made)

"Where are we going again?" Lilac asked, looking at Miss Griselda and Miss Fargonda she pouted she wanted to spend more time with Mommy and her aunties.

"We are heading over to another school to inquire more safety for your well being." Miss Griselda replied, she adjusted her glasses, and kept reminding herself to be more patient with the young girl because she was after all young.

"Don't forget what your mother told you before we left." Miss Fargonda said, knowing that would cheer the young girl up

"Yeah okay." Lilac said remembering the farewell that took place a while ago.

"But Mommy, I don't wanna go." Lilac complained

Mommy smiled at her and kneeled down to tap her on the nose "But if Miss Fargonda says you must, than you must. Don't worry I'm sure it won't take too long you'll be back to spend time with me and your aunties later."

"Yeah don't worry baby Flo we'll be here when you get back" Auntie Musa said, and the rest of her aunties repeated her words in their own way.

Lilac gave in "Okay, pinky promise?" she said holding out her pinky

"Pinky promise." Mommy said back wrapping her pinky around Lilac's. "Now are you going to be a good girl for the headmistress and assistant principle?"

"Yes, Mommy."

"Good. I love you"

"love you too." she wrapped her small arms around Mommy before going with the two older fairies. They chanted a spell and landed fairly close to a giant floating building which she assumed was the school.

Lilac was lost in her memories when suddenly she shrieked "STOP!"

She startled Miss Fargonda and Miss Griselda so badly they were ready to whip out magic to defend and attack.

"What, what is it?" Miss Griselda her sharp eyes scoped the area, she and Miss Fargonda were back to back ready and waiting.

"You almost stepped on it." Lilac said her tone contained absolute relief; she pushed them gently moving them a few inches to their right

"Excuse me?" Miss Fargonda said, confused

"Look, down."

They did to see a small flower near their feet. "No, don't step on it. You'll make the flower cry." Lilac said, missing the mixture of baffle and amusement of their faces. "This is a dangerous place to be in." she said her eyes were solely focus on the small flower, which seemed to be responding as Lilac was nodding in understanding.

"I can do that, my Mommy taught me how. Are you ready?" Lilac asked, she seemed to get approval of whatever she was planning. She nodded and closed her eyes her hands were directly over the small plant, they watched as her small hands began to glow and suddenly the plant was in mid air being covered by light green energy.

Lilac moved a foot from where they were and replanted the flower in a more sunny area "Is that better?" she asked, apparently she received a positive reply and she smiled at the flower. She marched up to Miss Fargonda and Miss Griselda "What are we waiting for?" she asked, being in a much brighter mood now.

The pair quietly watch the girl a few steps ahead of them, Miss Griselda let out an amused snort "She really is Flora's daughter isn't she?"

"She most certainly is." Miss Fargonda said, nodding her head She most certainly is

(We'll keep singing, dreaming. Knowing that we won't regret this choice we made)

"So Headmaster Saladin why are we here?" asked Prince Sky, he raised his blond eyebrow in confusion obviously they weren't here due to some trouble they might have caused, because they were waiting...for what?

The rest of the boys looked expectantly at Saladin each wanting an explanation to their purpose of being in this room. Saladin made eye contact with each of them before saying "You have been selected to assist Alfea in a very important, and highly secretive matter." he said

His students grew excited at his words, and he had the urge to roll his eyes honestly the young…

"What is the matter, relating to?" Timmy asked

"Well to sum it up, you will be posted to body guard someone from the future that was accidently misplaced in our time." Saladin explained

"Do you know who we are protecting?" Nabu asked

"That person will be arriving with Headmistress Fargonda and Miss Griselda soon." he replied not giving away the identity of their future guest.

"So do you think we're protecting some sort of future leader of some sort?" Brandon elaborated

"Perhaps a future royal to a throne of some kingdom" Sky said

"Or someone who will create change in the world." Timmy added

"But everyone does that." Helia countered

"Who cares? We'll find out soon anyway." Riven said, he rolled his eyes thinking that this guessing game was a waste of time.

"Ahh but that's the fun of Riven we get to find out who was right or at least the closest to being right." Nabu said, pointing this out to his friend

"Maybe it's a person who contains powerful magic." Riven added, joining in the dumb game

"That's the spirit Riven," Nabu said ("Spirit my ass") "I personally believe we're dealing with record breaker. You know like the first one to do so and so"

"Hey Helia, you haven't made a guess yet." Sky pointed out

Helia rubbed his chin in thought "maybe we'll protect a future student of Alfea."

"What kind of guess is that?" Riven mocked

"Well, if that person wasn't going to go to Alfea, what is that person doing there?" Helia replied

"I don't know-

There was a knock at the door.

"Oh that must be them." Saladin said, he made a motion to the boys "Let them in."

They opened the door, to see a small figure in the middle of Miss Fargonda and Miss Griselda. They took in her small size, her familiar shade of blue raven hair, her familiar bright green eyes, with her tan complexion. They watched her silently look at every one of them as if studying them and then her eyes rested on Helia. She cocked her head to the side and said it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear

"Daddy?"


hahaha I'm so devious to leave it there I know! Now with the obvious identities of Lilac's parents being revealed what is in store for them?

Alright guys stay tight till the next chapter!

Due to school (and I'm in my junior year) new updates will be irregular so I cannot say when the next chapter will appear
