The next two weeks were a nightmare for Mathias and Emil. One morning Emil started complaining about feeling nauseous then suddenly rushed to the toilet, which was occupied by Mathias who was being violently sick in it, and also started vomiting just as violent as Mathias.
And this feeling didn't stop at all. After three weeks Lukas, who was four months along at that point, said to his "best" friend and his brother "Guys. This looks all too familiar to me. I'm almost one hundred percent certain that you're pregnant."
At that moment Annabelle came in and said that she would stay for a bit seeing as she wanted to get to know who she was taking care of.
"Annabelle. Do you per chance have anything to detect if someone is pregnant?" asked Arthur.
"Yes. For a start we have pregnancy tests which are very accurate. Would you like me to fetch some for you?"
Emil and Mathias, both slightly shaking, nodded vigorously. Annabelle got up an left the room.
Moments later she finally reappeared carrying the tests. She gave both boys two tests each and Emil went to the toilet first.
Half an hour later he came out of the bathroom with a look that was the look of non-realisation.
"When there are two positive tests is there still a possibility that they could be wrong?" Emil asked a hint of hope in his voice.
"I'm sorry but I know for sure that those pregnancy tests are very accurate." said Annabelle leaving the room.
Emil gasped "Oh my God. We're going to be parents soon."
Tino seemed to grasp that fact as well because there were huge tears blossoming in his eyes. With a deep breath he manage to stutter "H-How I ... w-wish tha-that my b-b-baby w-would be a-able t-to m-meet her l-little b-b-brother or s-sister."
Just at that second Annabelle walked back in with a couple of medical supplies. That's when Berwald decided to look at her more closely. To his surprise he could see a lot of his and Tinos features in her.
She was as petite as Tino but could master that emotionless look that he himself had. She also had Tinos angelic face with those huge eyes which were each an amazing soft violet and a piercing turquoise.
He then noticed the amulet that was hanging around her neck. It was shockingly similar to the one Tino gave to their daughter on her first birthday before she got taken away.
Annabelle who was at that second was checking on Mathias didn't notice that she was being observed so she got a little shock when Berwald suddenly asked her "Do you know what is inside that amulet?" "Not really. I tried a lot of times to get it open but nothing really seemed to work. And because I didn't want to break it I didn't try again."
Berwald slowly took the amulet from Annabelle and used the trick that he knew worked on the amulet Tino gave their daughter. Thankfully it opened and Berwald looked inside.
What he saw made tears stream down his face. On the on side there was a picture of him and Tino who was holding their newborn baby girl. On the other side there was written in beautiful calligraphy.
To our precious Annabelle. May happiness an luck always be with you. Love Mama and Papa.
He quickly rushed over to Tino an showed him the amulet. Tino burst into tears much to Annabelle's shock and buried his face in Emil's chest.
"What's going on?" asked a very confused Annabelle. Berwald gave her back her amulet and Annabelle gasped "Mama? Papa? How is this possible? Why am I here an not with you? What happened?"
"Well." started Berwald "It all started when your mother and I first got together. Back then we were young and believe it or not your mother was quite afraid of me."
"That's only because I was new in school and didn't know you." interjected Tino.
"Anyhow. After a year we finally got together and were happy. When we were together for two months we found out that you were going to be a part of our family."
Annabelle just stood there speechless and stared at the people who were she just found out were her biological parents.
"We were so confused and afraid of not being able to care properly for you. But in the end we didn't regret our decision one bit."
"One day after your first birthday an lovely lady came to our house and said that they were interested in you. And with us being in our senior year and without work it seemed that we weren't ready for a baby." Tino continued
"But we said that we could manage just fine and with that she left. Then one night we heard a crash and then you started crying. We hurried to your room but when we got there you were already gone."
"That's when the fighting began. We blamed each other for what happened and Mathias and Emil were our only friends or at least that's how we felt back then and one thing led to the next and that's how we got together." finished Berwald.
"Does that mean that I will be a big sister soon?" asked Annabelle with a smile creeping on her mouth.
"Yes you will. But you mustn't let Smith know about what you have found out ok?" said Mathias.
"Of course I won't. And I promise I'll find a way to save you and my little siblings." cried Annabelle.
The six friends gathered the sobbing girl into their arms and stayed like that for what seemed like a long time to them.
