Chapter 35.

Wake up..... Hestia, please I beg you please wake up.... Elizabeth wailed. Hey... wake up damn it! Meliodas said. Zeldris just kept quiet and gritted his teeth. Estarossa came back after freezing Purgatory in place and that also meant that Hestia's hearts are frozen. Estarossa looked down at her frail bloody body and carried her. As he walked away from the others, he heard a voice say, I love you Estarossa and never forget that, okay? *gasp* He looked at her and said, I love you too Hestia. Tears started falling from his face.

He took her body and froze it in a very big shard of crystal as it levitated in the middle of the core of Purgatory. When he went back there was something missing in them, Hestia. Then Caelia started walking towards the castle and then.....

*gasp* It hurts........ It hurts so much.....

She shouted while holding her chest. What's wrong? Caelia tell me! Tristan shouted. I....don.. don't know... Then she fainted. They took her to her bedroom and Merlin appeared out of nowhere and examined her. It's the after effects of the powerful curse that was inflicted on her. When Hestia died it was as if Caelia was depending on her to survive because she was the one who broke the curse, Merlin explained as she brushed her bangs aside.

Is she..... No, she's not dead. She's in a coma. If I had to speculate, theoretically, she will wake up in a year and two months, she said. Then she noticed something. Oh... what is this? She said amused. She's pregnant...... with twins. Wh.... What?! They shouted shocked by the news. When? How? Ana asked worried.

Anaisa... do you remember when that boy over there appeared? Ellie pointed out. Yeah... Master Caelia didn't come home for two days, Ana realized. You don't mean...... Yes, that's exactly what I mean, Ellie cut her off. We shouldn't be all gloomy because Hes will surely cut our heads off if she saw us mourning over her all our lives, Estarossa said. He's right. I better go to Gelda,see you later, Zeldris said. You're a father. Be happy, Ellie said to Tristan. Let's go now, darling, Ellie signaled Meliodas to leave them. What? Why? I wanna stay with her a little longer, he huffed.

Geez..... take the hint, she thought and dragged him with her.

So..... you're pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I really am happy but I'm worried that you might never wake up again and I won't ever see those eyes of yours ever again, Tristan said worried. He leaned forward and kissed her frail pale lips and said, Wake up soon okay?

Six months passed and Tristan was crowned King of the Vampire Race. He drowned himself in work to forget that his love's life was hanging on a very thin thread.

Elizabeth and Meliodas celebrated Tristan's sixth birthday as he grew stronger and stronger every day.

As they say, time sure does fly, as Caelia's belly grew bigger all they could do was just hope that she will wake up soon. Three more months passed and Nimuë removed the babies safely as she was unconscious. Now, there was a problem, how were the kids going to be fed. Nimuë suggested, I could do a divine possession. It's when a divine being enters the body of a Deity like vessel and makes it act of the possessor's will. Don't worry, I have more than enough Mana to do so.

She possessed Caelia's body and when she opened the eyes, they turned sky blue on the left side and navy blue on the right, Nimuë's eye color when she uses up her Mana. She made the body hold the babies gently and breastfed them until they fell asleep. It was like that for five months. Thinking that she would wake up, she didn't. What's wrong, damn it! Why isn't she waking up? Tristan shouted. Calm down. It's the curse. The Demon King isn't willing to let go of her, Merlin explained.

Damn it, he said then flew out of the castle. As he was flying, he blamed himself over and over that he was incompetent.

Seven years passed......

Daddy, Gen is teasing me again! Make her stop! A girl said. I did no such thing. I was quietly reading when she came to bother me simply because she has nothing else to do, the other girl said coldly. Genevieve, Henrietta, stop fighting already would you? Tristan said, still young and helpless against the two even if he's king. Sorry, father. Henri is really getting on my nerves, Gen said while powering up. I was thinking the same, Henri said while powering up too. Of course sometimes you just think alike, you're twins after all, Tristan sighed as he jumped out the window. A few moments later, the mansion is in pieces. The twins ran to Tristan and said, So, who won this time? Me or her? Henri asked. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Let's go and visit Mom, Gen said. They flew off as Nimuë cursed them. Damn those kids including that big kid! Leaving this mess to me. Ever since they started knowing what was around them, they fought all the time. This is the fortieth time I'm rebuilding the main villa. If this doesn't stop soon, I'm gonna die! Not that I can.... but still! Nimuë sighed.

Mom, wake up already. We're all waiting for you, Gen said. I'm awake now. Your wish has been granted now if you please can you give me some leftover coffee cake that was left in the freezer, Caelia woke up and said. You... You finally woke up, Tristan said while tears started running down his cheeks. He hugged her and said, As long as I can see your eyes again, that's all that matters to me. That's a pretty nasty and masochistic thing coming from you. Are you planning to gouge my.... But before she finished he kissed her. I'm so happy, although it's really hard for me to show it, he thought. He broke free and said, I'm so glad. W-What the hell is wrong with you? She said blushing.
