Chapter 33

I knocked on Ria's door. "Ria? Its Knight. Can I come in?" She got up and opened the door. I went in and she closed the door and locked it. "May I sit here?" I saw her nod. So I sat down and started talking. "Ria. Its not your fault. Yes I could have died but as you can see I'm fine. Its not your fault you weren't yourself. I'm sure your father said the same thing. Coming from me it might be different. Sigh. I know you might not remember me but your father did from my past life. Your father told me about how you both were killed. I'm sorry. Anyways back to what I've been saying. There is nothing to forgive. If you want to ask for forgiveness I will forgive you. Here I'll even show you I'm fine." I showed her the wound and it was just scarred now. "See its just a scar. I'll be fine. It doesn't hurt." I saw her tears. "Come here Ria." She went over to me and hugged me. "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. Its my fault you almost died." "I told you it was ok. I'm fine. No one is going to blame you. They are more worried about you. Wanting to make sure you are ok." "Really?" "Yes really. Now shall we go out and let everyone know you are ok?" "Stay with me for awhile please." "Yes I'll stay with you for a bit." "thanks."

So we both went out and she saw her father Miles. "Dad. I'm sorry." She ran and hugged her dad. "Its ok baby girl. I know how you feel. I hurt him too and feel bad. I don't blame you baby." "Thank you dad." Then she went outside and my kids Knight and Aria were there. Once she went out they both ran over to her. "Are you ok Ria!" said Aria. "Yes I'm fine. I was just feeling really bad about what happened to your dad. Its all our fault." "Hey don't worry about it. If dad can forget about it we can too." said Knight junior. "Thank you both." They patted her on the back. Aria gave her a hug then Knight did as well. "Thanks you guys. I still feel bad about it. I will the rest of my life but I will live." Then Ria was fine and we headed back home.

I went to visit my boss since he told me to take a few days off to recouperate . "Hey Everyone! Glad you made it alive!" I practically yelled. Boss heard me and came out of his office. "Hey there Knight. How you feeling?!" I patted his back. "I'm good. Can they have an early break since its almost lunch?" "Yeah sure why not. OK everyone come on over." Said Boss. They all rushed over and patted my back. "Ok everyone we can hang out some other time. Just come to my house I'll talk to my wife and see when we can have a barbeque then I'll tell you everything I know." Then I waved goodbye to everyone and headed back home.

"Hey honey I'm home." I said. "Hey Knight how was your visit?" "It was good. Why do you look like you have cried what happened?" "Honey I got back from work. I took a test." "Oh and what was the verdict?" "I'm pregnant Knight." "What? Really?" "Yes I am. I don't exactly know how far along but I wanted to wait for you to see when you are free so we can go together." "Should we tell the kids?" "Uh yeah we can do that. Lets wait for them to get home. Knight should be visiting today to check up on you. Aria too I got word from them." "Oh and I will go to work tomorrow. I told boss. He said it was fine." "Ok do you feel well enough from the battle?" "Yeah I've had worse." "Ok well should we hang out here until the kids get home?" "Yeah that would be fine." I sad.

Finally hours later the kids came. "Sit down kids we have something to tell you." "Please don't tell us your dying dad." Said Knight. "NO son don't worry. I'm fit as a fiddle. Grandpa always used to say. You want to tell them or should i?" "Go ahead you do the honors." "Ok well kids. You are going to have a baby brother or sister." "What mom's pregnant?!" said Knight. "Yes we were going to schedule so see how far along she is." I said. "I hope its twins." Said Aria. "Don't you dare jinx it kiddo the two of you are a handful enough but 1 would be enough. If its 2 we will take care of them anyway." Said Eva. "Well if they are a boy and girl twin they can have your old rooms since you both will be moving away anyway. We can fix the rooms up once we know what the baby or babies are." "Oh Oh mom can I fix up the little girls room if it's a girl and Knight can do the boys room." "Hey who said I wanted to do my little brothers room? Ok Yeah I will." "I knew it." "Ok kids calm down. I'll tell you what. I will make a sketch of what each of you want then make my decision ok?" "Yes dad." So I got my sketch pad out and had Aria go first. I wrote down her ideas and actually kind of liked it. Then it was Knights turn. I loved every part of it. He and I have a similar since of style. "Ok One more think kids. I want to see Knights version of the girls room and Aria's of the boys. Just curious on how your style differs." Then they told me their Ideas and sketched on separate pieces of paper like I did for the first. They were both pretty good ideas. "OK well I will talk with you mom and decided which ones she likes ok? Aria you are leaving in a couple of weeks are you all packed?" "Dad their really isn't anything to pack other than a few treasures. They give us clothes to wear there. They told us not to bring any clothes since they will be providing that. Plus grandma has clothes for me there anyway." "OK then. Knight you live with grandpa warren, do you have anything to wear?" "Yes dad I have everything I need." "Ok good. I will miss you both." "Dad I will be here for another 2 weeks. Then we can say our goodbyes ok?" "Fine." "Ok we are going to our rooms dad." "Ok Knight. See you guys later." Knight was staying a few days to make sure I was ok.

The next couple of days Knight returned to warren's place. It was the day we find out how far along Eva is in her pregnancy. "Ok Eva. Good to see you again. Lets see how far along you are. Congratulations again." "Thank you Doc." She said. Then she put the gel on Eva's belly and moved the machine around. "Well it looks like you are having twins Eva. You look like you are already 3 weeks along." "Wow really? I'm excited. I can't wait to find out the gender." She said. "In 7 more weeks we can find out the gender." Said the doc. "Thank you doc." Then after the check up we went home.

It had already been 2 weeks and it was time for my little girl to go live with her grandma. Eva was going to send Aria off to her grandma's house. I told her I'd go with them too and Knight was here to say goodbye too. "Hey sis be careful out there ok?" "You know I will brother. I'll be fine I promise." "OK if anyone picks on you let me know. I'll beat them up for you." "Hehe your funny but I know. Your such an overprotective brother. I will be 14 this year you know." "Yes I do. As long as I am alive I will worry about you. Especially what happened to your twin brother." "Hey he was a baby. I am 14 plus grandma and my friends can protect me. I'll be fine really. Plus you can come visit anytime." "You know I will. Be safe sis." "I will brother. See you." "Yeah see you." Then we 3 left and headed out to the elf woods.

We finally made it after a few hours. We stopped by Eva's moms house. Aria knocked on the door and grandma answered. "Hi grandma." "Hey Aria and Eva Oh and knight too. Come in please." "Hi mom." Said Eva. "Hi honey." Then we all sat down and I told her the news. "Oh congratulations you two. These will be your last ones right?" "Yes mom. That is the plan. We find out in another 5 months what they are." "Are you worried Eva?" "A little worried and excited. Because of what happened to Aria's twin." "Oh honey. It'll be fine. Don't you worry." "I Know mom." "Mom Are both the babies going to be ok?" Aria said as her eyes started to water. "I'm sure they will be Aria. Come here." Said Eva. "Just because it happened before doesn't mean it will happen again. All we can do is hope for the best right?" "Yeah mom. Oh and don't forget when you find out what they are send word ok?" "Yes we will." I just sat there and listened. We were going to stay the night there and be back the next day. I told the boss I would be late.

The next day we woke up early enough and left early so we could get to work. Of course we barely made it but we did. My work was usual. Calls and I would paint or whatever they wanted me to do.

Finally it had been a full 10 weeks and we get to find out the genders. We got to the doc and found out we were having another boy and girl. So after our check up we went home to write to the big brother and sister.

We got letters a few days later saying how excited they were. So we looked at the pictures of what I sketched and wrote their names on their ideas. "Oh ho how cute. The little boy one that Aria was cute. " Then I showed her the boy one that Knight drew. "Ok I like this one. This is more like what I want in his room." "I agree Eva. I was thinking that." Then we looked at the girl ideas. First I showed her Knights Idea. "Oh this is gorgeous. But lets look at Aria's." So we did and agreed to go with Aria's idea for the girl.

The kids were going to come visit in a month or 2. They wanted to decorate. So we just did the painting and waited for the rest to decorate then go to the store to look for furniture.

Finally the day came that the kids were visiting so we went to shop for what we want for the babies rooms. Then we came back and the kids started decorating. Its been at least 4 months. My poor wife has been double tired but not as sick as she was with Aria and her twin though. Which was good so she can get some more sleep. She couldn't work anymore until she had the baby. Hey boss told her not too.

During the break of decorating the rooms, we all sat down and talked about names. We had Knight and Aria think of names for their little brother and sister. "We will go with you first Aria what name do you like for a girl?" said Eva. "Well I like Kana, Elvina, Kida or Nuri" "Ok those sound pretty good. What ww will do after Knight names the boy names we will write it down and put it in a jar. Knight will pick the boy name and Aria the girl name. How does that sound?" I said. "Yeah that's a great idea." Said Aria. "Ok now Knight what are your idea's for boys?" I said. "Ryoto, Ryu, Devon, and Lake." "Ok then lets put all your ideas in a jar I will mix then up and like we said Knight picks the boy and Aria pics the girl. "Ok Lets let Aria pick first. OK Aria before we do this which name is your favorite that you named off?" "Well I actually have 2 I like Kida and Kana. So If I choose one of those I will be happy but we will see." So she stuck he hand into the jar…"Its…Drum roll please." I said. "Kida! Its Kida! Yes!" Aria said excitedly. "Ok Knights turn. First Knight. What is your favorite name or names you picked out?" "RYoto or Ryu. Lake is fine too. I just hope I don't pick Devon." "Haha ok son. Ok I mixed it up now put your hand in there and pull it out." "OK everyone cross your fingers." Said Knight. So he pulled one out and another drum roll it was…"Ryoto! Yes! So Ryoto and Kida for our brother and sister. Not bad." Said Knight. "Yeah we both got what we wanted." Said Aria. "Ryoto Knight I like that. What do you think everyone?" said Eva. "Not bad mom. What about Kida's name?" said Knight. "Hmm lets see. Kida Aria." Yeah put our names for middle names since we picked them out. Cool!" said Aria. "So Dad what about Grandma Aria? Did she find somewhere to live?" "Yeah now that you mention it. when she went to visit your uncle Torion he offered her a place to stay at the castle. She agreed temporarily." "That's good. Is mom resting? She didn't look so good last time I saw her." "Yeah she's fine. Good." So now when they want to visit us they would just stay at a friends house or they can stay in a room with the baby.

"Oh and Um. I may have told my friends about my soon to be siblings. They said that their parents or they themselves might babysit if needed." Said Knight. "Thank Knight. Do you have their numbers?" "Yeah I do. I put them up on the fridge." "Oh ok thanks." "Ok well I better be getting back to grandpa Warren's place. Take care. Bye mom get some sleep and take care of my brother and sister in there. Dad you help mom too." "Haha I will see you both later."
