"^^ Glenn Aaron... My little baby boy..." She breathed as she gazed up at Derrick, then over to Irvine. "Brother... You're an uncle now." She smiled softly as she nuzzled the boy's cheek, who was continuously crying, as if unaware and confused by the fact that he was no longer in his safe area.
"Take a look... He has my eyes too. And your hair Derrick..." She pointed at the small wisps on the infant's head. "He's so cute..."

"I know... He's beautiful..." Derrick said. "But... I think you should probably hurry and feed him." He explained. "Or else he probably won't stop crying..."
At the same time, Irvine was standing. "Ugh..." He groaned. "Great... You're done?" He asked. "Then I'm out of here..." He said, unsealing his wings, which started to shimmer, then he vanished.
~~~~~
FLASH! Irvine appeared in the house.

Taini frowned at what Irvine had did, feeling extremely hurt by it. Nevertheless, she attempted to cover it up. Serenade was still there, being persistent. "Look, sorry. Now will you let us help you for a moment?"
"No."
"It's just about breastfeeding."
"N...Fine."
"Now all you have to do is feel comfortable and guide him to your breast, alright?" Serenade asked. "Make sure you're sitting back, not forward. And be sure to cradle him on your stomach."
"Y-yeah..." Taini replied as she followed her instructions, though at first she felt much pain and awkwardness. However, the baby was able to latch on and grip her breast, beginning to suckle hungrily. Taini merely smiled, her tail twitching. "Hey... Derrick... he's normal too. Look at him... No cat ears or tail or whatever... completely normal." However, she made a mental note that he was only born at 5 pounds 8 ounces, a whole pound larger than when her husband was born.
~~~~~
Ai was sitting, reading a paper. She seemed to have nothing planned. "So how did it go?" She asked, a little upset that they just left her in the dust.

"I don't know, I passed out." Irvine said, sighing. "Apparently we have a nephew though." He said, shooting his sister a text. 'Sorry had to leave so soon, needed to watch my own pregnant woman. Congratulations.' It said. "So, our nephew's name is Glenn." He told the woman.
~~~~~
"He's our normal little boy." Derrick agreed. "Now then... I think we should get some rest now..." He told her. "After all, we have a lot of work coming our way now." He pointed out.
"lolslp." John said. "Hey Seres, want to head home now?"

Serenade flicked her ears as she turned to John. "Yeah! You know, I feel happy for once. This could be a great start! How about we come over in a week to have a big celebratory dinner?" She asked as Taini nodded. "Sure, it sounds good." She told her as she continued to allow the boy to suckle. "I am tired though. Would love to sleep... thank you Derrick for bringing me here..."
She then felt a buzz on her phone. Looking at it, she smiled, but didn't respond, not wanting to intrude.
Serenade then whispered to John, "We shouldn't intrude on their family time. Come on."
Quickly she poofed with her husband, to ensure that they weren't HORRIBLE parents to their own daughters. Of course at this point Serenade was beating herself up constantly for forgetting Elena especially, despite the girl's wants and cries.
"Why do I leave my own baby at home all the time...?"
~~~~~
"Glenn? It's a nice name. Hopefully he won't turn out ugly like the Pipsqueak." Ai stretched and yawned as she leaned her head back. "It's very late though... it's three AM... I couldn't help but wait for you Irvy."

"You really hate him, huh?" Irvine asked, sitting back. "Yulia, I'm still tired..." He sighed. "But... It's two months away for you." He said, crossing his arms. "I do hope you're not going to keep talking about how much I wanted to get rid of the child... Even though I didn't."
~~~~~
"You left her with babysitters, remember?" John asked, blinking.
~~~~~
"Hey... It was my pleasure..." Derrick said, carrying the both of them into bed, then lying down himself. "Good night, my dear... Good night... My son."

"We have babysitters? Who?" Serenade asked, then sighing. "Great... I didn't know we had friends... wait we just randomly paid some teenagers. Oh well." She then shrugged before sending the babysitters away.
~~~~~
"Yeah, I really do hate him. He's annoying and thinks he knows everything. Yulia." Ai mumbled before continuing, "...Eh, you didn't stop me either. I just hope this baby will get out of me soon. I still am worried about how I will fare..."
~Two Months Later~
"OH MY YULIA, WHY HASN'T ANYONE TOLD ME THIS WAS PAINFUL!?" Came a scream from the hospital. Even with Ai on anesthetics, she also felt the fury of childbirth, and eventually gave birth, with a doctor in attendance. Though they did want to be around, the family felt as if this was their own battle, and that they would probably visit later.

Irvine, however, was there, witnessing the birth of a baby girl. Just one. Not two. Just one. One baby girl. "How about... Mai Faye." Irvine suggested, turning over the girl to the pained woman, half expecting her to change her mind and not want the child at that point.
~~~~~
That day, Derrick was playing with Glenn outside, and by playing, I mean he carried him out to the river so he could look around.

Of course if this was the other alternate... She probably would have committed infantcide right there, having smothered the baby with the pillow. Who knows what Irvine could have done then.
Buuuuut...
She didn't.
"Mai Faye? Not Faye Mai?" Ai chuckled as she took the baby into her arms. "I guess our lives are pretty much taken over by the baby." She mentioned as she gazed at the child. "I can deal with Mai Faye... I just wish she wouldn't be cursed, you know Irvy?" She asked.
~~~~~
Taini was hiding amongst the bushes, preparing to leap at the two. Taini crouches and prepares her pounce... but before she has her iced tea. Suddenly sitting down, she picked up her iced tea and began to sip, rather loudly at it.
"Uwahhhh!!!" Young Glenn cried as he sprawled out, not amused at all by the slurping sound.

"Oh lord..." Derrick groaned, covering the baby boy's ears. "Come on, that's really annoying the baby..." He mumbled, standing up and walking over to the rheiard, which he used to float the two right over the center of the lake.
~~~~~
"I know... And because of what happened... Because of Dad's recklessness and mom's laziness... We can't save her either..." Irvine groaned. "Do you think that... We will get enough time with her?"

"...I hope so... they wouldn't take her as a child, right?" Ai asked as she nuzzled the child, taking in its features. "Dammit... I feel like we won't really see her grow... I'm going to spend all my time worrying of when it will be her time... But... hey she has your hair at least."
~~~~~
Taini glanced upward at them, then side. "I'm just playing around... oh wait! You mean the iced tea... I can't help that one love! Not like I do it on purpose." She then placed the cup to the side and unsealed her wings. Flapping them, she managed to meet with her husband and son. "So, how has our boy been faring? Sorry for being gone so long... I mean I had to catch Uncle Acey up on everything you know."
Glenn soon quieted down as he no longer heard the noise, but when he noticed his mother, he began to coo and... or course hiccup randomly.

"He's been pretty calm..." Derrick said. "But I think he missed you. Look how much of a dork he's being now." He laughed. "So, I think he may be hungry as well." He chuckled. "Feed him?"
~~~~~
"No... I'm sure it wouldn't happen... And if it did... Then I would go into the netherworld and drag her back out of it if I needed to." He said, clenching his fist and looking at his baby girl.

"Awww, he is our dork, but you know where he got it from." Taini teased her husband as she scooped him up in her arms and sat on the back of the rheaird. Unbuttoning her blouse, she managed to get him to feed, feeling the boy cling to her body. "You know, I've been feeling very strange today. Like something happened, Love." She mentioned as she gazed from Derrick to her son.
~~~~~
"You really would? Then, I would trust you to that, Irvy... I'm sure you could, of all people." Ai mentioned before yawning. "Um... I hope she won't be hungry anytime soon. I don't know how I would feed her... at all. I feel a little embarrassed about it."

"Well we are at a hospital." Irvine pointed out. "You can ask the doctor or nurses for instruction... Also, I'm pretty sure she's hungry now, since she's not automatically being fed anymore." He sighed.
~~~~~
"Hm? What's that?" Derrick asked, truly curious as he handed over their son. "And I would think he got it from the both of us." He chuckled.

"Don't know... something with my brother. And are you calling me a dork?" Taini asked with a chuckle as she hugged the man tightly with one arm as she let her son feed otherwise.
"Hey, you're dorkier than I am! He has your big dorkiness!" She jested as she kissed him on the cheek.
~~~~~
"She's not sounding it..." Ai pointed out. "I mean... I'm afraid she could be dead. I can't tell. She's not crying or anything..." She breathed as she gazed upward at Irvine.

"... Well then we should REALLY be getting a doctor in here." Irvine said, a doppelganger appearing and running off to get a doctor. It wasn't long before the doctor arrived, finding nothing wrong with the child, and then instructing Ai on her feedings. The girl did not once open her eyes.
~~~~~
"Now I am really confused... What's with your brother?" Derrick asked, ruffling the woman's hair carefully as not to upset baby Glenn, who I bet weighed less than Mai.

"What's with my brother? I don't know, but he's... giddy. I suppose. I don't know. It feels that way, that's for sure," Taini mentioned as she closed her eyes. "Well, it's around that time anyway."
~~~~~
Ai blinked, still a little afraid and confused as to what was going on with Mai. Nevertheless, she did what she was told, despite the child being terribly quiet. Just easy going? Possibly.

Definitely very easygoing. Irvine smiled at the two, they then got the papers, and the name, Mai-Fei was written onto her certificate, the name being chosen for the young girl forever. Who cares if it's spelled different, not us, nup!
~~~~~
"... I'm surprised you can still feel that sort of thing after having broken your bond like that." Derrick said, hugging the woman. "But... Do you suppose we should go check on them? We haven't really seen either of them since Glenn was born."

"Well, since we are on the rheiard and everything... I would love to see them. And there is such thing as a twin bond. It may not be as strong, but... it's a sense." Taini winked as she clung to his torso with one hand. "Off we go!"
"Coo!"
~~~~~
"So, tonight we rest and tomorrow we bring our child home and I suppose start anew." Ai stated towards her husband as she thought for a few moments. "So... thought. What happened... our marriage? It was a shotgun wedding, wasn't it?" She asked just as a knock was heard on the door to their room.
"Hm?"

"Er... Come in?" Irvine asked before turning back to Ai. "And I don't think so... I mean... We were engaged and planning the wedding before we knew of this... We were married before we knew of this." He pointed out, shrugging. "I mean... Does it even count if we had no idea?"
