"Er... Sorry..." Irvine said, closing his eyes. "What I had meant to say was to our suite." He sighed, scratching the back of his head. "I guess I just had one or two wines too many." He sighed. "In any case, we can head back to the room and have a little fun." He said with a small laugh. "Though a nice calm stroll would be nice."
~~~~~
"Umm... Taini... You've been sleeping." Derrick sighed, a little frightened of her thoughts. "But we've arrived... Look at it... And it belongs to us for all of the next week." He said as he smiled, looking down at the nice little tropical island that they had rented.
~~~~~
"Here you go!" John said, giving the girl a soda and then picking her up by the scruff of her collar and running her back home. "She loves me again! And I gave her soda, so pbbbbbt!"

"It would be very nice. Hehe, this life couldn't get any better than this. I wish I could experience it forever..." Ai chuckled as she walked out of the restaurant into the cool air. "Well, at least I can experience it with you." She mentioned as she took him out and walked with him.
~~~~~
Taini opened her eyes fully, blinked and then widened her mouth in a giant O. Afterward, she then spoke to him, her hands suddenly around his wrist as she tried to stand up. "I can't believe it... it's incredible. I didn't think such a place existed on Carleon..." She breathed as she kissed his cheek. "And it is. All. For. Us."
~~~~~
"WEEEEE!!! I love evewyone! YAY! LOVE LOVE LOVE! HUG HUG HUG!" Elena squealed as she flailed around constantly. "LOOOOOVE! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG!"
And that is how everything went for the next few days. Of course, there was much to tell and much to say. After all, the story can't end here, can it? In fact, it was just the beginning.
~XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Ai's scream was heard throughout Werites. It could have been potentially Carleon, but it wasn't that loud. "I'M PREGNANT!!? ALMOST FIVE MONTHS!?" She screamed as she grabbed the collar of a doctor, having been complaining of fatigue, lack of mana, and the strange belly bulge that appeared. "WHAT HAPPENED!?"
~~~~~
"Chocolate ice cream with tartar sauce... Nom. Such an awesome combination," Taini spoke to herself as she was sitting at a park. Of course, if anyone passed her, they could obviously tell she was pregnant. But of course they didn't make fun of her for it. Guess a woman gets a little respect then, huh?
Tail swishing to and fro, she couldn't help but wonder where her grandparents could be. It bothered her, not knowing where they were. In fact, she wondered if they were dead. They haven't even bothered to see the family. So what was the problem here?

"You know, that's still a very strange thing to want to eat." Derrick pointed out as he sat down and ate his own ice cream, which was orange cream swirl, and wasn't poisoned with tartar sauce. "But... What are you thinking about, dear?" He asked.
~~~~~
"Gah... Put me down!" The doctor exclaimed. "Look, you never came to me, and you also never complained of it... I'm amazed though... The child seems perfectly healthy from the ultrasound, as if Yulia herself were protecting it!" He said.
Irvine blinked. "How the hell does something like that get missed...?" He asked softly. "Ai... The last time we did anything... You took the pill... You've been on your medication... This... Is an impossibility..."
~~~~~
"... Woah... She's pregnant?" John asked, blinking, having heard the shout.

"She's been pregnant. For five months about now." Serenade grinned. "Hehehe, why do you think I was laughing so hard at their wedding? She must have been preggy for two months beforehand! Man, I am so evil. But it wasn't my fault so don't give me any looks, JJ."
~~~~~
"Hm?" Taini glanced over to Derrick, but not before taking another bite. "S-sorry, I think these cravings are getting to me." She mumbled before kissing the man. "But... well I have been thinking about Grandpa and Grandma. They haven't shown up at all. I am a little worried about it." She explained before taking another bite, only to feel little bubbles and 'pops' in her tummy. "Heh, the kid really wants to get out now, it seems." She said with a smile as she rubbed her stomach.
~~~~~
"..." Ai breathed in deeply. "Five months ago... two months before our wedding... There was that one night, where you may as well have raped me..." She mentioned before suddenly beating at Irvine with both fists. "YOU DID THIS TO ME!?" She screamed as she continued to beat at him, and not at all gently either. "I HAVE BEEN PREGNANT? HOW DID THIS... I took the emergency contraceptive too... DID that not work!?" She threw herself onto the floor, beginning to sob. "The baby should have been KILLED! All the alcohol and saunas and extreme sports... WHAT THE HELL!?"

"Gah!" Irvine exclaimed, trying not to lash out in anger that was not his own. "Ai... Listen, you know that this wasn't my fault..." He said. "Remember, it's my sister who got me so frazzled up that I couldn't think at all!" He pointed out. "You should be attacking her, not me!" He said, knowing that sounded terrible.
~~~~~
"Well, sorry, kiddo, but it's not your time to get out yet." Derrick laughed, patting the belleh. "But don't worry, you'll be able to come out soon enough, can you just wait a couple of months?" He asked, smiling at the woman and at her belleh.
~~~~~
"Not really, doesn't that mean that their kid is doomed to be a necromancer and you didn't force it to happen, and that there's a grandkid coming that you know you'll lose to hell someday?" John asked. The killjoy.

"Eh? Hell?" Serenade blinked as she then sighed. "Right... well I still have one grandchild on the way. I can spoil it all I want ^^ :3. Hooray! Hey, JJ? Can we go out for a picnic? Since the girls are being babysat at the moment by the daycare?"
~~~~~
Another couple of kicks. "I wonder if that meant no." Taini chuckled as she finished her ice cream. Placing her head on her husband's shoulder, she felt the warmth of his affection. "But back to the Grandma and Grandpa thing..." She tried to bring up, but stopped anyway. It's probably best that we shouldn't talk about it. I just feel like I could smell one of them... Ice cream. But then again it could have been the ice cream I just ate.
~~~~~
"...ALL OF YOU ARE AT FAULT HERE!" Ai raged as she continued to beat at Irvine fiercely. "GAH!" Just then the man felt hands around his throat, and soon his head was being rammed into the wall. Again. And again. And again.
"I'LL DEAL WITH THE WHORE LATER!!! I'M FOCUSED ON YOU RIGHT NOW!!!! AFTER YOU DIE, I'M GETTING AN ABORTION AND THEN I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT TAINI'S KID WISHED THAT IT WASN'T BORN! AND THEN TAINI! AND THEN THE FUCKING PIPSQUEAK!"
Did I mention that she has been considering rage quitting? And by that I meant abortion.

"Actually, you can't get an abortion at this stage." The doctor said. "You actually passed the deadline approximately 3 weeks ago. Legally speaking, you have to carry the baby to term." He explained, jumping to hide behind a table.
"Ai... Can you please... Put me down...?" Irvin asked, breathing shakily. "I tried to stop it, okay? I can't control her when she gets that way... And those pheromones are hellish..." He sighed. "Why do you think I wanted to rid myself of the link?" He asked.
~~~~~
"... It's odd... Why haven't we seen or heard from them?" Derrick groaned. "It just doesn't make sense... That's all..." He sighed. "But... Right now, we have bigger issues to deal with... Like our baby who hasn't yet been born."
~~~~~
"So you're going to ignore the condemned grandchild?" John asked, stunned.

"WHAT!?" Ai screamed as she then continued to bash Irvine's head against wall. "YOU CAN CONTROL IT! DON'T MAKE EXCUSES! BETTER YET I'M GOING TO KILL THE DOCTOR AND THEN I'M GOING TO KILL THE BABY!!!! FUCK YOU TELLING ME IT'S ILLEGAL! I DON'T CARE!"
~~~~
"I... think this is just as big an issue. Derrick, what if they are dead? We then won't be long to raise our child, and neither will the child. I just want to try and find out, that's all. I mean... is it too much to ask? Please?" She asked as she clung to his wrists. "I know you told me to be a good girl, and I am. So I want to take a break from being a good girl and go find them."
~~~~~
"...Um... hmm... guess I'm going to have to, huh?" Serenade's ears flicked as she turned her head away from John. "So about that picnic?"

"No picnic for you!" John huffed. "You should have done something about it! No! You're going to tell Ai and Irvine how you were too lazy to bother making sure their kid didn't get cursed!" He said, pulling out the squirt bottle. "DO IT OR BE SQUIRTED!"
~~~~~
"... It should be fine to do that." Derrick said. "I mean... It's not like the zombies are causing any trouble. He said, pointing at a zombie as a bird landed on its head.
"... Gurrrrrdrrr..."
"That's different." Derrick mumbled. "Anyway, we should be fine!"
~~~~~
"Ai, you can't kill the doctor!" Irvine said, suddenly switching to soopah angel mode, not to fight, but rather, for the calming effect it would have on Ai. Also, he hugged her to make the link as close and strong as it could be.

":( D-d-d-d-don't JJ... Okay, okay... I'll tell them right now..." Serenade whimpered as she suddenly disappeared, having given into John's whims. A goddess. Giving into a hooman's whims. Heh.
~~~~~
"...You're probably right about that." Taini then stood onto her feet, though she had felt sore all day just from walking. "Well, guess we should start searching every nook and cranny around th-"
"I'm glad to be finally just one day relaxing." Came another feminine voice from the other side of the park. She seemed to be no older than Taini, though she was also in the same situation as the woman. "When was the last time we had a day off? Almost three years ago?"
~~~~~
Ai wriggled around for about four minutes before calming down slowly, but surely. She then turned around, gazing into Irvine's eyes... and began to sob in his shoulder. "This CAN'T me happening! It just can't be! Please tell me it is a nightmare!"

"I... Don't know." Irvine said, trying to be happy for the woman so she could be cheered up, though it was very hard. "But... I am sure that the child... Will be very happy to have a mother like you..." He said, choosing the words carefully as he was trying to cheer her up and not flare up her temper. Not that it meant much to someone in hysteria like herself.
~~~~~
"Ah don't think it was that long! We got off about a month ago! Hey, at least the crops are growin'! Ah mean, we got one green bean out of it! Right... Right? Oh, Yulia, Ah'm such a lousy farmer..."
"Wow... Loud..." Derrick said, standing. "But... Yeah, we should probably get going before it becomes too hard to find any of them." He spoke. "I mean... Maybe we can enlist your mother to help us with our search?"

"Hey, how could she find it? Sniffing around? That's all she can do! Are you saying my nose isn't good enough Derrick? DERRICK?" Taini glared before mentioning, "Huh. Something smells like cherry blossom. Weird... But I don't see any..." She then began her trek to pinpointing where the smell came from. "Hey, maybe my grandpa is around here. He always smelled like cherry blossom!"
"Well now that you mention it we did have a little time to ourselves. But I know we can do it Oujay! We just suffered a drought, that's all." The homey appearing woman replied as she placed her head on her partner's shoulders.
Sniff.
Sniff.
Sniff.
"Eh?" Taini continued to sniff, realizing she was heading in the couple's direction.
"So... it's you that smells like cherry blossom." Taini suddenly pointed, though she was a little shocked.
"WAH!!!" The other woman jumped and cried out. "It's one of those... demented people!"
"-.- Look. You have MY grandfather in your tum-" Just then she felt a rather heavy picnic basket smash into her face, causing her to stumble back. "GAH! OKAY, NOT COOL!"
~~~~~
"..." Ai didn't even bother saying anything this time, but only continuing to sob, louder than previous at the mention of Irvine's fresh words.
Just then Serenade appeared, opening her big mouth, "Right, so your child's soul is going to be dragged into the Underworld so he or she will become the new Necromancer because I was too lazy to give the curse to some other brat -.-. JJ forced me to tell you."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
"What's her problem?"

"... What the hell, mom!?" Irvine asked, angry at her for what she had just said, angry at her for her timing, confused as hell as to why there would be a curse, and incredibly upset from Ai's emotions. "Why would you... Oh, forget it!" He said, blasting Serenade.
~~~~~
"Taini... What's this all about?" Derrick asked, running over to his wife.
"Gah... What the hell are you people talkin' about...?" Oujay asked. "Dammit... This park would be full of psychos... Ah think we should go find another park fer now..."

Taini held her nose for a couple more minutes before shaking her head, trying to balance herself. "Ugh... Grandpa... Gary... she's ah... pregnant with him." She said, pointing to Freija, who looked as if she was about to cry out of fear. "Just go away!!" She screamed, smashing the basket once again into Taini's head.
"OW! SON OF A BITCH! My head is not made of steel, YOU KNOW!" She cried out as she then lost all balance and fell to her rump, though she tried to break her fall as to not rupture anything.
"L-let's just go Oujay." Freija sniffled as she quickly tugged at his hand.
~~~~
Serenade, this time dodged, only to bark at him, "YOUR FATHER DID IT! He killed the damn Necromancer, NOT ME!"
"WHAT!?" Ai continued to cry as she clung harder to Irvine. "Irvy, I don't want to have the baby... I don't even want a baby! I just want to diiiiiieeee!!!" She screamed.

"Ai, listen, hush, hush..." Irvine said, continuing the blast and sweeping it across the room at the woman, not wanting to deal with the idea of firing multiple blasts. "You won't die... And maybe there won't be anything wrong with having a child... Come now, you're stressed... Yeah, we weren't prepared, but we can handle this..." He said, hoping his magically induced calm would calm her as well.
~~~~~
"Ah think so too!" Oujay said, running from the scene, not bothering with the third bonk.
"Taini... We can figure out who they are and approach them later, okay?" Derrick asked, snapping a quick picture on his phone. "So... They're carrying your grandpa. Okay, now we need to find who's carrying your grandmother." He pointed out.

"...Uuuuuuugghhhh..." Taini groaned as she was flat on her back. "Derrick... good job..." She meekly said as she still saw stars/chocobos swirling about her head. AHAHAHAHAHAHA... it huuuuurts... Oh, yeah no one knows what happens when Taini only gets bonked two times. Absolute temporary delirium. "Baby, baby... hehehehehe..."
~~~~~
Did I mention that Serenade was too stupid to put up a grand shield of grandliness? Of course she is smart, but has her moments.
She could have done that the entire time. But no. Instead, she allowed herself to be shredded into a million pieces, littered onto the floor.
Ai felt herself calming again as she clung to him, though it was apparent that she was still crying. "I'm scared Irvy... I don't think I can do this. I never wanted children. You know this! I can't raise them at all, and I don't think I can care... I'm not ready for this!"

"Nobody ever is... But we can do this... And I think I can care... And because of our link... You will too... I know you never wanted it, but we'll manage." He told her, softly patting her head, hoping he would be able to soothe her.
~~~~~
"Uh... Maybe we should get home... Before you do something bad due to a minor concussion... Come on, dear, let's go." Derrick spoke, taking his wife by the hand and walking her to the rheiard, then setting into the air so they could fly back to their woodland home.

Ai ceased her tears as she kissed Irvine, then nodded. "Mmm... I just..." She seemed to be in shock, but she wasn't as bad as she could have been. You know, like suicidal or anything. She then glanced upward at him. "I don't understand... Didn't we do everything that could have killed the child? I wish it did..."
~~~~
It was about a few hours later before Taini stopped muttering incoherent sentences that involved monsters, waffles, and toy trucks. Though with a splitting headache, she was back on her feet, though in her room alone. "Seven months... gah, child." She then turned her head to the floor. "At least grandpa is still alive. I just don't know how to find grandma. Grandpa was just a pure stroke of luck. But hm... maybe she was born the same way... that she was born a long long time ago? I mean, if grandpa was coming back as a baby, surely she must be too."

"... I hope that's the case..." Derrick said. "Our sacrifice... It was a memory..." He said, not entirely sure what they had sacrificed. "But... I bet it had something to do with him... Maybe that's why he's coming back as he is... So whatever memory we had lost... So we can never get it back." He spoke, knowing that all of them now had no clue that Gary had ever even known the hymn. They all had just assumed that Serenade had first introduced it.
~~~~~
"... You shouldn't say things like that..." Irvine sighed. "But for whatever reason... The child is still alive and safe... So... I guess there has to be a reason for it... A reason the child has to live... And that should be enough... Shouldn't it?" He asked quietly.

"Huh? Derrick, you're here..." Taini announced to herself as she heeded the man's words. "Yeah. I don't recall either, but, he is back. I don't mind. It may be a small gap, but I am sure that it can be filled with new happier memories." She mentioned as she placed a hand on his arm. "So, ready to hunt for my grandma?" She asked as she smiled a cute tiny fanged smile.
~~~~~
"I just... want to go home." Ai mumbled before she felt the urge to sob again. She didn't say anything else. "...I know it's too late, but... we do not have to raise the child, Irvy. We can put it up for adoption. You know, an orphanage like your mother almost did."
