"...That's true. I don't think anyone has seen us since. Or if they have they probably thought we were ghosts," She chuckled as she walked out of the home, her eyes to the sky. She continued in native language. "Maybe there will be a memorial for us, the Grand Coliseum Champions!" She then turned her head to Irvine. "I kind of like it like this. No public attention... no anything. I remember back in Mizuho I had attention all the time."

~~~~~

Taini was outside, not having looked at all. Instead she was reading a book on how to murder a psychotic woman. Of course she would do such a thing. "See kid? You're going to learn this stuff just in case you run into a psychopath. -.-"

Derrick soon arrived outside, looking around, then sitting next to Taini. "Can you smell your grandmother's mana?" He asked very quietly, trying to overly ask if Fannie was anywhere close to them without revealing that he was asking about the demented woman.

~~~~~

"I hope not... If they did, I might just have to destroy the thing." Irvine said, unsealing four wings, which started to glow. "I wouldn't much like it around... But well... I'm sure the fights will be a little entertaining."

"Well yes. And we get to watch Katarin. Still. She's getting high up there too. I'm surprised she can still fight... being human and all." Ai shrugged as she clung to Irvine's body. "Let's make this a wonderful day. After the fights, we search, okay?" She merely stated before they disappeared.

~~~~~

Taini gazed at him for a second, having pulled herself away from the book. "Yes, I can. About twenty feet in the house. So did you find it?" She asked as she grinned. "Because if that is the case, we can do step two. Now that she can't get alcohol or cigarettes, we can now report her to the authorities. Right? And have her restrained and in a cuckoo house until Grandma is born?"

Derrick pulled out the ID wordlessly. "I would just shred the thing for now... Force her to go to the hospital..." He pointed out. "Unfortunately, I don't think she can be restrained legally for her anger issues or anything else... But were she to be injured... They could keep her in the hospital for a while." He said with a small but ebil laugh.

~~~~~

And they did, in a flash. "I'm not sure that's my idea of a wonderful day." Irvine admitted, walking into the Colosseum and sitting in the back to watch. "Besides, she's only about 37... That's hardly old." Irvine pointed out. "You should be careful... I don't want her to smack you one." He said, still a little frightened of the woman, as any sane person should be.

"Hahaha... she was my idol, remember?" Ai pointed out. "I can joke about it. 37 is getting there. We still have 9 years." She pointed out with a smile. "But the sounds of people shouting... the cheers... it sure does bring back memories, doesn't it?"

~~~~~

"Hehehe, Derrick, you're such a genius. And one of the reasons why I love you." Taini mentioned as she took him by the hands and kissed him. "Help me up?" She asked. "I would like to get at her badly. I still have my blade around, somewhere... YES, I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE USING IT AND IT WOULD LOOK FUNNY FOR A PREGNANT LADY TO WIELD ONE!" She cried out.

"You know that if you kill her, you kill your grandmother." Derrick pointed out. "I was just thinking that we sabotage the stairs, you know?" He asked softly, before going to work on doing just that. He then, every time he went up the steps, skipped the sabotaged step so that he wouldn't twist his ankle. In the room, he sighed. "Now we play the waiting game, huh?"

~~~~~

"It does... But not ones I particularly cared of." Irvine said. "The shouting and the crowds... They were nothing more than distractions back then. All I cared about was defeating the enemy in front of me, no matter what the means." He spoke. "I was incredibly simple and forward... Maybe I still am."

"Derrick I was only going to smack her upside the head with the blade til she is battered enough. Well... if she falls, she could kill the baby. If anything you're being the stoopid one." Taini sighed as she folded her arms. "AIIIIIIIIIIIE!!" She heard. "By the way, who would impregnate her?" She asked before whipping out a phone. "She's down. May as well."

~~~~~

"...Heh, but it can be a good quality. Irvy, I loved it in you. You had a goal and you followed through with it. I almost lost sight of my goals. I just... went with it. To the point that I forced myself to try and stop caring about you when you rejected me so many times. But I stopped doing that, and see where it got me?" She pointed out as the fights back. "WHOOOO!!!" She cried out.

"True... But I didn't have a goal... If anything, I was simply a gun. Aimed and fired with no regard for the opponent who I had blasted. I was merely directed, not without any goal for myself, so I fought until there were no foes left to fight." Irvine sighed, watching someone get flung by an eggbear. "I had no goal, not really."

~~~~~

"I only wanted her to twist her ankle." Derrick sighed. "She shouldn't take much of a fall if any." He said, waiting for the doctors to arrive. It wasn't long before Fannie was taken to the hospital where she couldn't be given any painkillers for her broken ankle because of how pregnant she was. "Right... So should we just bug the place for now?" He asked.

"Yup! Hehehe... Then we play the waiting game." Taini grinned as they prepared to bug the place. So they did, making sure they could keep an eye on her grandmother somehow.

The woman had to wait an entire three weeks before she could be released from the hospital. Taini, of course was highly amused by this once she found out.

Another couple of months passed by since then. Of course Taini had been keeping a close eye on the batshit insane woman, wondering exactly what to do once Talia was born. One morning as Derrick was still sleeping (crazy, I know), she was outside, writing a new letter. Lately she had been keeping letters, writing to her child about her experiences during the pregnancy. She figured she would continue to write until the child was eighteen or so, then compiled the letters and present them in a binder.

She then proceeded to work on the vegetable garden that they owned. "I love this garden... does keep me busy at morning." She chuckled.

~~~~~

Ai smiled. "Either way, it brought you to happiness, didn't it?"

About the same amount of time had passed. Ai was already filling out the papers to send into the orphanage, but she knew that Irvine would soon talk her out of it. She almost always gave into the man. She was sitting on the couch, watching a movie and thinking about one of the spare bedrooms in their home. "Hm..." Wonder what it would look like had we decorated it for the kid.

"So what are you thinking about?" Irvine asked, approaching the pregnant woman from behind and grasping her hand, squeezing it for a minute. "I can feel that whatever it is... It's about the child... And it's not a terrible thing about it either... You've been thinking that way for a while... That... And regret... So... What's up?" He finally asked after babbling for several minutes.

~~~~~

Derrick soon stepped out himself, wearing overalls and a lightweight shirt, as well as a straw hat. "Need some help there?" He asked, leaning over and starting to pick some beans. "Been a little hot, hasn't it?" He asked, faling silent for several moments. "It's almost time, isn't it?" He asked her.

Taini smiled at her husband, wondering about when she was going to experience contractions. She continued pulling out some carrots, storing them in a basket. "Yeah, it is almost time. I'm really worried about it. I hope it goes well... with all the light mana injections and releasing of the dark mana... well, I just pray that our child won't end up like our daughter," She mumbled. "But yes, we should probably go for some lemonade after. That and maaaaaaaaaaybe ice cream?" She flashed a grin.

~~~~~

"Huh? O-oh! Nothing at all Irvy! Just was thinking about the weather, that's all! Ehehehehe! It's just so hot and miserable lately. I don't understand how you could possibly stand it! Ahahahaha!" The woman sweat drop, though it was obvious by the link that she was utterly lying.

"... You want to keep the kid, don't you?" Irvine asked, jumping right into what could be a horribly losing battle which could just possibly get him overkilled. Just like in battle. That's right, Irvine can pull an Irvine in conversation.

~~~~~

"Well... Everything to this point has been okay... You only used dark mana at the beginning... And never demonata, so... It should be just fine... I don't think you used anywhere near enough to harm... And... Well, you've been bathing in light... Both mana, and the actual sun... You even used Seraphim to guard from the darkness of hell... What more could you possibly do this time?"

"You're right... I just can't wait to get this baby out of me. I mean... well." Taini flushed slightly as she sat onto the ground to take a breather. "I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the pregnancy this time, despite the vomiting and the soreness and the mood swings, and the lack of an appetite. I would like to do it again someday, maybe when the child is a little older." She explained as she then dusted off a dirty carrot and munched on it, not giving a damn about the fact that it was in the ground a moment ago.

~~~~~

"...I don't want to keep the kid." Ai mentioned as her eye twitched. "Look, I just want to talk about the damn weather. Can we just, I don't know... get some cheese or something? I'm hungry. And you have been a horrible personal slave these past few months!"

"... Right... I guess the Nile's not just a river on earth." Irvine sighed. "And also, If you haven't noticed, I did spend all day yesterday getting you these 5000 hummingbird plushies." Irvine sighed. "And you're also the one who delayed filling out your portions of the whole adoption/abandonment papers." He pointed out. "I had my parts filled out two weeks ago, not that I had really wanted to. All I'm saying is that you've been acting a lot like you want this kid."

~~~~~

"Well... I don't think that there is anything stopping us." Derrick said. "We have a long life ahead of us... And we'll have plenty of time to have another... Or even multiple children." He told the woman. "But for now we can focus on the one who should be due any day now... Oh, and the one who has been being held by a lunatic."

"So what are we going to do about her anyway?" Taini couldn't help but ask. "We didn't really decide on anything. That woman is a psychopath and both you and I know this... So what?" She asked as her tail swished to and fro. "I just get worried at times. I will not let that woman take care of my grandma!"

~~~~~

"I'm filling them out, I'm filling them out..." Ai mumbled as she took the pen and the papers. "I just... feel a little lazy, that's all. I mean, why would I want a child? I told you, they're nothing but annoyances and they would get on my nerves. I couldn't handle it. Not right now anyway. I have so much more to do before I even THINK of settling down." She then signed the sheets. "Right, so we have them done! Let's bring them over!" She then stood and ran to her room with the papers. As she entered her room, she took some random sheets/contracts and switched them out with the adoption papers. Quickly slipping them into the folder, she walked back out. "Ready?"

Irvine, of course, heard shifting of the paces through the door with his crazy strong ears. 'Right... And what are the odds that we're going to get there and those papers won't be the right ones...' He thought, shaking his head. "Ai, you know, we had the papers right here... You didn't have to go back to the room! I mean... All your traveling things are out here too." He said.

~~~~~

"I wouldn't trust her either." Derrick said, placing some photos of the room where Fannie was staying, and the giant mess that was there. In fact, he had several folders of them, all of them watermarked at different dates, a log of the general disrepair of the home. "With these... We can call child protective services on her." He explained.

"Huh? I was searching for something, that's all!" Ai replied as she closed her eyes. "It's another document that I needed. That's all. More like an introduction letter about us. That too much to say?" She asked as she then left in quite the hurry, suddenly realizing she can't jump ahead of Irvine. She was flightless.

~~~~~

"Let's do it! Then they will watch her, and put the child in an orphanage after? I mean, it's a little sad for grandma, but better than dealing with that bitch." Taini mentioned as she took the photos, then looked to the sun for a moment. "Gah, I want to go inside now. I'm done for the day out here." She sighed as she walked inside. "Besides, the extensive heat can't be good for our baby."

Irvine sighed. "Mind if I read it?" He asked. "I just want to be sure that they don't put up something that makes it too easy for the kid to end up finding us if it wanted to, you know?" He asked. "Because if you don't want a kid, it isn't safe to be saying who we are exactly in the letter, because I am pretty sure that a 5 year old could figure how to find us if they read a letter of introduction that said of our status." He spoke.

~~~~~

"Alright, and I'll get you that lemonade and ice cream." Derrick said, starting to get both for the woman. "And... I need to wait until we're a bit closer." He said. "That way they can check her... Just after the birth." He chuckled. "No need to give her time to clean up, right?"

"N-no. It's embarrassing for you to read! Or anyone! It's just a heartfelt personal letter, sheesh," Ai responded as she then hugged the files close to her. "It's just to them and them only. SO THERE." She then placed her foot onto the ground. "So can we go? Please Irvy?" She begged as she began to cry. "I see... so you hate me..."

~~~~~

"A bit closer? Yeah, good idea. But the feeling of waiting... UGH!" Taini threw her hands into the air. "Derrick... I'm not having the birth at the clinic. I'm just letting you know that ahead of time. I will be stubborn this time. I'd like to give birth either in this house or on the yard. Derrick, please understand where I am coming from. I'll give you lots of cookies if you let me :3"

"Huh... W-we can..." Derrick mumbled, crossing his arms after giving the woman her beverage and snack. "Just... Uh... We should still have one of the doctors come here... I don't want there to be any complications." He said. "You know... Like you or our child being harmed in some way by the birthing..."

~~~~~

"Right, well then let's go..." Irvine sighed, teleporting them both to the orphanage they had picked after much stalling. Irvine, for just a moment, remembered Ai turning down orphanages for silly reasons... Like not teaching the children to make their beds neatly enough, despite the fact that she never even bothered. Anyway, they soon arrived and dropped off the papers, turning to leave, except...

"Excuse me..." The secretary said.

"Something wrong?" Irvine asked.

"Well, a little bit, it's just that-"
