Inside, all there was was a young woman with a slight tummy bulge staring blankly out the window. She didn't say anything, apparently not having even noticed the man entering the room. She just sat there, feeling depressed and staring out the window.
~~~~~
"... Huh... It's Werites... Heeeeey, my house is here." Ace said, smiling.

"Your house...? Look, I'm going. See you later," Therese said with a sly wave as she tried to flee from him to go roam on her own and not be annoyed by Ace.
~~~~~~~
I... I've never seen her like this before... Glenn thought before flushing deeply. He wondered if she was a little bigger somehow, but he didn't mind at the moment. He'd ask later. He had to think of something that wouldn't get him hit. It wasn't his fault he was nearly killed!
"H-hey..." Glenn stepped forward slowly as he tried to crack a smile, though he wanted to cry. He couldn't cry. His father would kill him.
"I... I managed to come back..."

Anna turned around, her eyes widening, then she suddenly fell out of her chair, completely shocked. 'H-HELP!' She shrieked with fright. 'Ghost! Zombie! Something! Someone help!' She exclaimed, too terrified to do anything at this point.
~~~~~
"Now hold yer horses!" Ace said, putting her in a headlock suddenly. "Ya gotta know how to get around here without pissin' off people, and everyone's on edge with the whole God King thing." He said. "At the very least, yer gonna get some rest before ya go."

"C-calm down, Anna! Please!" Glenn said calmly, though his voice cracked with tears. "I'm sorry... I'm back home though. I live, okay? Please don't think I'm dead, because I'm not! I just wanted to apologize for everything..."
~~~~~~~~
"God King thing?" Therese asked before thinking for a moment. "Fine, whatever. Let's go rest or blah blah blah. You need to at least tell me so I can find my way around here. And probably far away from you," she hissed.

"Yeah, yeah, quit bellyachin'." Ace said as he opened the door to an apartment, which was surprisingly normal and tidy. No baseball bats, no signs of insanity. Just a normal clean apartment with a couple of very comfy looking chairs.
~~~~~
Anna continued to quiver and shake, wondering when someone would come. In an act of panic, she knocked over a lamp. As it hit the ground with a large crash, broken glass scattered across the room, alerting all the building's occupants that something was amiss.

Taini ran down as fast as she could, finding out what was to be the problem. "Anna! Wha-" Just then she gasped once she noticed the man, who was frightened by the fact that he really did hurt Anna. "GLENN! Where... where did you go!? How!?" she cried out as she ran over to the man, inspecting him. No marks, no anything. Just one scar right at the stomach.
Glenn began to explain. "I don't know... I don't... Mom, I missed all of you... I should have known what Leo was up to. I gave him a chance..." Taini smiled, relieved that her son was alive. She would have hugged her son, but Anna was priority at this point. Carefully, she helped the woman onto her feet. "You should know by now that Glenn never comes back as a zombie or ghost. He's not faint and he's not... well he's not rotting," she pointed out. "Though, Glenn, you die too much." She teased.
"I... never died in the first place..."
~~~~~~~~
"Huh...? This... isn't like you. Why the hell are you insane, and then you have this?" Therese angrily told him as she took a step back. She had to admit she was astonished by such a sight.

"You kidding? I haven't been here since I got kicked out of the school for being... Um..." He crossed his arms. "What was it... Oh, yeah! I was kicked out for a mental breakdown or something. I don't really remember." He shrugged.
~~~~~
'... You were... Your funeral was 3 months ago...' Anna whimpered, scared slightly. 'I... I thought I'd never see you again, you big jerk!' She shouted.

"Th-three months!? Funeral!?" Glenn calmly said, surprised and shocked. "Did you all think I was...?"
Taini nodded. "Of course... I've never been relieve so much in my life... everyone would be. Too bad your father isn't here at the moment. He would be ecstatic."
"I... It's been about three and a half weeks for me... I was... I was desperately trying to get back home. I'm so sorry Anna... You know I don't try to die or anything! I'm just generally unlucky... And I'm sorry for fighting, and I'm sorry for everything. I didn't want you to be hyped on the tonic the entire time, and I just wanted to sacrifice what I want so you could be happy."
~~~~~~
"Why did you have that...?" Therese asked.

"Hell, I don't know." Ace shrugged, walking into the kitchen and looking around. No food, no water, but at least the place was warm. "Eh, whatever, I'm gonna get some drinks from the cellar." He shrugged, walking downstairs and leaving the woman alone for several seconds.
~~~~~
Anna sniffled. 'I stopped... I just didn't care anymore.' She said softly as she sat there. 'I didn't know what I'd do after, either.' She explained. 'So... I just sat here and waited...'

Glenn grasped her hand suddenly as he sat in front of her. "At least you look healthy... Anna, conk me over the head, slap me... take your damn staff and slam me in the back of the head with it! Just... just do something, okay?"
"Heh..." Taini smirked before turning away to the kitchen. Glenn must be very hungry at this point. But why less mana?
~~~~~~~~
Therese walked around slowly, inspecting anything and everything. It was just too normal for him. Was he a problem child that took care of his own house? Did he hate the world?
Ugh. She would never know.

And he came up with several bottles of wine. "Alright!" He said with a smile, handing over one cool bottle of wine. "Drink up!" He laughed, opening his own bottle and taking a swig. "This is a good year!" He laughed.
~~~~~
Anna simply jumped at him, clinging and sobbing without saying a word. She tightly embraced him, though he may have noticed that her grip had grown lax, her strength waning from months of not doing a thing.

Glenn quietly held her tightly, sighing. He always scared her like this, and he wanted to stop. Why did he have this type of life. A life of adventure and danger? He kissed her forehead. "Hey, it'll be okay! I'm here, I'm here..." he whispered as he rocked her.
~~~~~~~
"A good year for what? The destruction of my home?" Therese asked as she grasped the bottle. She wasn't even a drinker, so she set it to the side. "Sorry, I don't drink."

"And yet you worked at a bar." Ace felt the need to point out. "And the wine's a good year, that's all I was sayin'." He said with a shrug. "But if da widdie baby doesn't want some wine, I'll take her to get widdie baby gwape jooce." He spoke, grabbing some gald and walking outside to take her to the markets.
~~~~~
Anna continued to shake and shiver for a while, though when she finally did calm, she spoke to him just a little. 'But where did you go?" She asked with a frown.

"Where did I go... I had no idea when I first woke up. I was in a lucid state, and the doc told me I was out for a week. I then realized I was in a town I never even seen or heard of. Worse, it was on a planet that was tied to both Earth and Carleon, though it is on a separate plane altogether." Glenn explained as he continued to hold her close. "With a couple of friends I made it back home. We took on legendary beasts quite easily too."
~~~~~~~
"Oh shut... the fuck up..." Therese hesitated through her words before following after him. "Ugh, after all this I'm going to find a home. A really nice home and be able to get a job... doing... something."

"I said quit yer bellyachin'!" Ace said, taking her to the market of sodas and other beverages. "Well, hurry up and get whatever you want." He said, shrugging.
~~~~~
'... Who? We need to go see them!' Anna said, still cuddling into him, sniffling, her tears not drying at all. 'Let's hurry up!' She said. 'I want to go thank them for helping you come back, so let's teleport to where they are, okay?' She asked, hugging him once more.

"I, okay, okay!" Glenn laughed as he spread his wings.
"Hey, where are the both of you going? Taini asked, in the middle of dinner, apparently.
"Uh, to see a couple of friends. Anna wants to thank them," Glenn replied before teleporting.
You'll fall.
Glenn whirled his head about, just as they appeared in Werites. "This is where I dropped... them... off..." Glenn heaved, wondering why it took a lot out of him just to even teleport. In fact, it was so bad that it caused a burning sensation in his stomach. I think I need to rest... Haven't done that in two days... He then let go of Anna, sensing his friends. "Markets. We should hurry."
~~~~~~~
"Hmph." Bottles of juice in her arms, Therese gave into being bought the drinks. After paying for everything, she began to make it back to Ace's home, having nowhere else to go.

And so the two continued their walk back to the home, where lo and behold, they found both Anna and Glenn standing, having rushed over first, somehow.
'Thank you both for bringing Glenn back.' Anna said, suddenly hugging each of them then clinging back to Glenn's arm.
"Well looks like he got her back!" Ace laughed, seeing the girl. "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!"

Therese rolled her eyes at Ace just as she returned the hug, though it was clear that she was jealous of the other woman. Nevertheless, she tried her best not to let it show. Glenn allowed Anna to cling, enjoying the feeling to be near her. Little did he know, he STILL didn't notice the change with Anna.
"So, both of you, this is the love of my life, Anna," Glenn said with a chuckle.
Therese, on the other hand...
"So how far along are you??"
"Huh... how far along who what now?" Glenn asked.
"Anna... how long have you been pregnant?"
"...Huh?" Glenn replied, dumbfounded.

'... Four months.' Anna said, raising a brow at Therese's question and clinging behind Glenn, feeling somewhat frightened by the woman's tone. 'Ever since he di- ... vanished.' She explained, still hurt by what had happened.
"Eh?" Ace blinked with a laugh. "Look at you still acting all jealous." He whispered ever so softly.

"I-I'm not jealous!!!" Glenn cried out with a very loud squeak, causing Therese to laugh. "Oh well, looks like someone is just figuring this out..." she said before shooting a glare at Ace over the jealousy comment.
In the meantime, Glenn began to hiccup, stammer and practically hyperventilate, feeling ecstatic, surprised, upset, and worried all at once. Before he could finally say anything, he passed out, collapsing onto the ground. "... Heh... Guess he can't handle anything like that! Glad that I never pursued... er... never mind." Therese blinked.
