Chapter 3

Two weeks later,

Quatre paused on his way towards the library when he heard someone playing the piano. Stopping on the music room, the blonde Arabian/French took a peep on the slightly opened door.

Elina is playing.

The Winner Heir blinked his blue eyes when Elina slam her hands on the piano keys, making him wince at the sound. His space heart told him their sister is upset.

Sister. . ever since she appeared and saved them in L4, Elina watched over them. At first, Heero is suspicious towards the Albino since the sheer coincidence of her appearance and their mission to retrieve and destroy one of Oz bases in L4 is very dubious. However, both Space Heart and ZERO are happily purring in her presence. From then on, Elina ALWAYS supports them and makes sure they are alive and well.

She did not ask what their mission entails.

She also tried to make them happy by searching about their families (he loved magic.)

And made sure they will live after this war.

"Rere-chan. .?" Quatre blinked seeing Elina called him. "Are you alright?"

He shook his head. "Just thinking, Elina."

Her silver eyes soften as she smiled on him and scoot over. "Please join me for a while, Quatre."

"Alright," Quatre sat beside her on the piano bench. Elina's head laid on his shoulder. "I notice you easily tire this days, Elina."

"I don't know why. Earlier, Dragon made some stir fry. I always like when he cook some chinese food but . . " she pouted. "I cannot stand the smell especially the fried rice. And a few moments ago, I know Heero wanted to shoot me since I kept stealing his muffins."

"And. . .?"

"I had very annoying mood swings that it's no longer funny!" Elina complained. "Shiro is going crazy, Maria and Vincent made the point to stay away from me something about hurting someone or whatever! Did I already complained my mood swings? One moment I want to cry, next, I am cackling making Duo run away from me and even Trowa avoids me!"

Huh?

Quatre tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes. Using Space Heart, he allowed his empathy scan her.

Then did a double take.

"Elina. . we need Satella."

"What did you find out? Its impossible for me to have cancer or other deadly disease."

"I think you are pregnant?"

Elina stared at him like he have grown three heads.

"Quatre, that would be impossible. . . is been five mont-," the albino paused as she remembered something. Standing up, she turned around.

"DEATH!"

The Winner heir flinched when the temperature went down. Crystal blue eyes widen as he stared upon the . . creature . . hovering in front of them.

The rest of the gang burst inside the music room complete with their weapons. Duo, once he gotten a good look who they are seeing, paled.

"D-Death!"

"Who?!" Wufei shouted in disbelief.

"Greetings, My Beloved Mistress," Death greeted. "So my Shinigamis."

"Arthur, what did you do?" Elina glared at the hooded entity.

"I did nothing, Mistress. You already had a child when it happened." Death aka. Arthur gently, oh so gently cradled her cheek. "I have known that you are not in the right state to take care of yourself earlier even with Satella's help. All I did is place your child in a stasis. Nothing harmed them, I promise. They are your last connection to both Tyki and Gilbert. I love you so much to just allow you to wallow on your grief even the boys are distracting you."

Elina, instead of lashing like he expected, turned beet red.

". . . and I know you enjoyed the fun with those two. . ."

"SHUT UP, ARTHUR! LEAVE MY SEX LIFE ALONE, YOU PERVERT!"

Death let out an amused chuckle as he let her go. Pulling his hood off, the Pilots saw a tall man with raven hair and poisonous green eyes.

"I would love to continue to tease you however, my work is calling me. But be happy, the War is almost finished. Hone your skills and be prepared." His warning is taken into the heart by the G-Boys. "I will visit later on. Adrian," Duo blinked. "Watch your brothers and do not goof around the works. An old acquaintance of your mortal parents might drop by."

"Got it, Boss!"

Death chuckled in amusement before vanishing.

"Not that I mind being a mother, but he should have given me a head's up, overprotective mother hens." Elina sat down on the piano bench as her hands touched her still flat stomach.

"So, how did you know Death?" Duo asked as he eyed Elina's stomach. He skipped and pressed his ear on her stomach. "Can't hear anything."

"Baka. I'm a few weeks pregnant, not six months." The albino smack him lightly on the head. "Good bye coffee. . . and to answer your questions, let's go to my room."

"Do you need any help?" Heero asked.

"I'm fine, Hee-chan. Like I said, I am not showing yet." Elina stood up. "Let's go. I already alerted the girls to meet us in my room.''

Heero glance on his teammates before the five broke into formation, making Elina rolled her eyes in exasperation. Once they reach her room, the boys paused.

They never had a chance to enter Elina's room.

"Wow," Quatre exclaimed softly.

The room was freaking large. It was four times larger than Winner Corporation Conference room and divided into three. The walls are painted in creamy white, greens and a bit of black.

They passed the adjoining room and receiving room. Arriving on the main bedroom, they were caught off guard.

Half of the room are covered with plush dolls! Several of them are familiar like Kiyohime's own plush doll, their Gundams, Timcampy and just to name a few. On the King size Four poster bed's side are a pair of life size Pandas and Kishka bears. A stag, a werewolf, and a Grim is placed near the desk.

On the main bed is a pair of Black and white Rabbits with red eyes and their plush doll versions.

"Ah, Hee-chan! There's a plush doll version of you!" Duo broke the fourth wall as he jumped on the bed after removing his shoes.

"Sewing dolls is one of my hobbies. Don't worry, even I am a wand waving broom riding witch, I do not do Voodoo. Too troublesome." Elina waved her hand as she removed her butterfly themed jacket revealing her tube dress. She then removed her gloves as the boys made themselves comfortable on the bed.

Satella appeared beside her followed by a Homunculi Healer named Mira.

"Alright, allow me to scan you, Mistress." Mira, the brown haired blue eyed version of Satella ordered as she pulled her own wand. Elina rolled her eyes as she allowed her personal Healer to do her job.

"Five weeks, Mistress. Please refrain from stressing yourself and coffee. No wearing high heels and rest whenever you feel tired. Also, please restrain yourself on physical exercises that might hurt the baby."

"Do you think it would be twins, Mira?" the albino asked.

"Possible, Mistress. After all, you are in a triad relationship how short might it be. Please excuse my words but since your magic and heritage is starting to protect the young childe. As a professional, Abortion is out of the question. I know you would rather kill me if I asked you that. Anyhow, the stasis did not harm the baby so no need to be worried."

"What about Shiro? Maria And Vincent are avoiding me these past week."

"I would advise if Shiro-kun would rather sustain himself for the rest of your trimester. The baby would need all the magic and nutrients in order to grow and it would cut the seventy percent chance of miscarria-, Shiro-kun!" Mira exclaimed when the Crystal Blood Innocence materialized into his human form, starling the boys.

"What miscarriage?! Oh dear Lord, I did not make it any worse, right?!" Shiro 's panic is clear as the day.

"Calm down, Baka!" Elina hit him with a pillow. "The baby is fine!"

"How could you be so sure?! I am a parasite type weapon, Elizabeth! I drew energy on you personally in order for you to use me and allow you to walk!"

Satella hit him with a metal clipboard.

"Aack!"

"If this is the reaction of Shiro learning that Gil and Tyki had knocked you up, then I fear the reaction of the soon to be fathers." Mira commented. "And yes, refrain from using magic. Pregnant women had a bit unstable magic since the baby will draw yours in order to make his own core. Boys, take note that mood swings are always present until the end of the third month. Morning sickness. . . well, mistress is lucky she isn't suffering them."

"Is Elina will be ordered in bed rest?" Quatre asked.

"No. Not unless Mistress got herself on a fatal accident. Her magic and creature side would do all what they can to protect the baby. Also, placing Mistress in bed rest on her full term would be bad since pregnant women needs exercise. Add to the fact she is very healthy and powerful."

"Mira, when can we learn about the baby's gender?" Duo asked.

"In late sixth months of the pregnancy. However, it's Mistress Choice if she wanted to learn the gender of her child or have it as a surprise."

"I want the gender to be surprise. All I want to learn is if I would be having twins." Elina decided.

"Of course, Mistress. Would you like to know now?"

"Maybe next check-up."

"Yes,"

Mira listed all the foods she could eat and potions to drink. Good thing Elina had several of those medicines under stasis so no need to brew new ones.

". . no brewing, Milady."

"I know. I'm not that desperate." The albino leaned on Shiro's chest. "Mooh, I really hate wheelchairs."

"Forgive me, Milady but we do not care."

Elina act like a mature woman she is.

She stick her tongue on Mira earning a laugh from everyone.

"Real mature." Mira rolled her eyes in exasperation before turning towards the boys, mainly towards Shiro and Satella.

"Please remember that Milady is only pregnant. She is much dangerous even tied into a wheelchair because of Shiro-kun's separating himself on her. Crowding and smothering her like overprotective Mother hens you are would rather make her lash out. Crystals never like being chained, anyway."

"Of course. The last time she threw a tantrum, half of Area Eleven is demolished." Shiro answered, earning an elbow on his stomach. "ack! What! Its true!"

"I'm not throwing a tantrum! They held my twin brother hostage!"

"Exactly! Your brother complex is so damn potent that even level 4 Akuma's ran for their lives ignoring the orders of Adam. I would not even count the one where you joined your own father in killing seven Apocryphos that normal exorcist cannot even battle properly!"

Elian adjusted herself and wince a bit when she cannot feel her legs.

"I hate being paralyze, anyway, Family protects each other. That's our motto." Pouting, she eyed the boys as Mira and Satella excused themselves. "So. .? Questions?"

"How do you know Death?" Duo asked as he hugged the Heero plush doll which is two feet tall.

"Like my past alternate selves, I collected the Deathly Hallows by accident. It granted me a new life as long as I would do my duties as Master of Death, mainly, signing those never dying Death Files in order for a soul to passed on. Being a Noblesse just added later on but it has no difference being Arthur's Boss. As long as I would not interrupt his soul reaping and abusing my powers over the Death Sector, I will be fine." Elina answered. "As long as I am one of the various Mistress of Deaths—Arthur is my partner—I will continue to live until I decided to end it. Usually, by training the next (un)fortunate Minion."

"What would happen if you resign?" Quatre asked.

"Either I would die for the last time or reborn into a new world without my memories. Its actually my choice and I would not be dying anytime soon. I'm still enjoying my time and I will follow my twin brother into the New World fifty years from now."

"New World?" Wufei repeated. "Are you saying you could walk into alternate dimensions?"

"Indeed I am. Avalon is my primary Door to different dimension I visited for a whim. Why do you think some doors had UN carved on the front?" Amusement laced on her voice. "The New World I am talking about is where Allen and the others now reside. Before I was bound as your protector, my world is destroyed in the middle of my battle and the rest of my fellow team mates. I was planning to end the Holy War created by APOCRYPHOS that I swallowed my pride and teamed up with my enemy, the Vatican and Central in order to end it. However, even with my efforts, I failed spectacularly." Elina closed her eyes as she raised her shield in order not to overwhelm Quatre. "Arthur told me that the world I have been fighting for is already rotting and he just allowed me to do my best since he knew not trying to . . fuck."

Shiro wrapped his arms on her waist and buried her face on his chest.

"That world had a rot. Its so suffocating that even I felt it. You could imagine this room covered with poisonous gas. That is the prime example but instead of gas, the air is thick of Death and suffering. Elina tried her best to destroy the said rot but failed. Everybody died. Mortal, immortal, it did not matter. Everything is destroyed even Apocryphos." Shiro gently rake his Accommodators hair. "Arthur-san told Milady that the fate of that world is out of his hands. The original plan was to send Elina to the New World immediately but she would suffer a fifty years' worth of Cyrogenic Sleep that would do more harm than good."

"Its because of the baby, I presume." Trowa commented.

"Plausible. Cyrogenic Sleep might kill the baby." Heero glance upon Elina. "What are you planning to do now, Elina?"

"I do not know. But I know entering into a pity party would do no good. Even Arthur pulled a fast one on me being your Guardian, I really do not mind. I cannot imagine what kind of chaos I might create if Arthur pulled the Cyro card on me. Good thing he didn't."

"Elina, you killed one thousand Oz soldiers when the boys took you from L4 and destroyed their base just because Quatre ordered you. And just last week, you are abusing the hell of the Taboo on calling Voldemort's cannon Fodders as your target practice." Shiro pointed out. "Since you stirred the Hornet's Nest last week."

"I still cannot understand those morons. I knew Magical Britain is pathetic since Grindelwards rein but they never learn." The albino then turned serious. "Boys, be careful. I already published Secret Blood Wars all over the world, attacking magical Britain. Voldemort, the current Dark Lord is on the move while the other international magical enclaves are laughing their ass out. To be honest, they deserved it."

"Nee, nee, Elina-chan, please tell us, are you doing this for shits and giggles or because of us?" Duo asked seriously. Ever since he read about Secret Blood Wars, that question hang on his head.

"Fifty-fifty. The Ministry of Magic are long overdue for a massive house cleaning. The said government is so corrupted that it rivals Oz. I am actually targeting the adults since targeting children leaves bitter taste on my mouth. Blood purity? Please do not make me laugh. Mundane and Magicals are the same. They bleed the same, killed by the same. I hate hypocrites." Silver eyes glance upon the boys. "Since I am really doing this to shake the sheeple out of their ass, we can say that Albus Dumbledore is getting desperate for his Savior (note the sarcasms here) "I would give the goat at least five months to find you, Duo, so be prepared. If they kidnaped you and forced you to join their war. . . well then, feel to destroy both of the light and Dark Fraction. Its their funeral trying to cage the Shinigami." Elina paused for a moment then pressed the intercom next to the bed. "Lyka?"

"Yes, Milady?"

"I'm craving for pork sinigang for lunch. Make sure to separate mine so the boys especially Heero won't try to shoot me because his now favorite is too sour for his taste."

Quatre blinked upon the rather random order. But when he replayed what they are talking to, he burst out laughing much to the confusion of his fellow teammates especially Heero's blank look.

"What? Care to share?"

"Shinigami . ..Sinigang. . ." the blonde choked out his laughter.

It took them three seconds before the room is filled with laughter, especially the look of disbelief Duo is sporting.

"Now I know you are just fattening me! Elina-chan, you're so mean to me!"

"If there is someone who wants to eat you, it's not me! Its Heero!"

"Please stop the sexual innuendos!" Quatre/Wufei.

Elina just smirked and threw pillow which hit Trowa on the face.

"Pillow fight!"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Four months later,

Elina is amused. Why, you asked?

Well, watching Heero being chased by a reformed Relena Peacecraft with a rolling pin for accidentally ruining her newly brought pink dress is plain hilarious.

Also, its been three months since the War ended.

Thought she had killed Relena, right? To be honest Relena is easy to talked to if you had gotten passed her 'Heero Worship'. Who thought throwing her in a room alone with Kiyohime's portrait accompanied by Lily and Catherine would fix her? Elina does not really care about the political clout the Vice Foreign Minister turned Queen of the World has. All she wants is Heero's happiness.

Speaking of which, she better stop this nonsense.

"Kyouya, may you help me go down?" she called from the balcony.

Immediately, Heero materialize behind her, making even Relena gape in shock.

"Wha—how?"

"Silent apparition." Elina rolled her eyes as she accepted the teen's hand. "You know you do not need to do that."

"I really wanted to see Relena's face when she learned I could have ditch her." The Wing ex-pilot gave her a small smile.

"Figures. But Relena, I still need the birthday boy alive." The albino called as Heero accompanied her down the stairs. "Where's the others?"

"Trowa and Quatre are checking the guest list along Satella. Wufei is talking to Sally and Une while last time I check, Duo is on his room." Heero answered.

"Oh? Is that so—" Elina was cut off when Shiro appeared, holding a cute baby wearing a Black Mokona onesie. "Shiro? Did you knocked someone and forgot to tell me?"

"Of course not, Elina. And I always use protection on my escapades." Shiro gently adjusted the baby revealing . .. baby Duo in his base form.

Back being a black haired baby with large emerald eyes with a hint of Amethyst.

"Duo?!" Heero/Elina.

"Oh my gosh, he's so cute!" Relena gushed.

Well, Baby Duo is cute no, the right word is adorable.

"What happened, Shiro?" Elina asked as Baby Duo tried to reach her. Opening her arms Shiro gave her the very adorable baby. "HI, Adrian."

"Mama!" Baby Duo messily kissed her cheek. "Love ya!"

"Oh I love you, too, Hatchling." The Albino coo how cute Duo is as he buried his face on her chest that Relena is leering out sometime.

"The Chibi accidentally drank the remaining Komutivan V, Elina. The one made Kanda and Lavi turned Chibi. However, I think it had different reaction to Duo since it shrunk him as an eighteen month old baby." Shiro reported. "You know, he really looks cute on that onesie. I salute Sasha's preservation on clothes since this one is yours, right?"

"Nope, Its Ethan's. At least you did not put him on a Pikachu one. We're doomed." Elina gave Baby Duo to Heero when Chibi tried to get the attention of his 'Hee-chan'. "Do we have the antidote made by Bak Chang?"

"Currently being brewed by our Potion Masters. However, Mira said we could just wait for a week until the potion wears off by itself."

"Elina?"

"Yes, Heero?"

"I think I saw one of these with skull print. Why not that one since Duo nicknamed himself Shinigami?" Heero asked making even Relena nodded in agreement.

"I know its cute but. . . the magical sector might thought we are endorsing the Death Eaters."

"Sick them the Basilisk, will you?"

"Now, you're talking into my language, Kyouya."

Relena glance at SHIRO.

"Are they really talking about murder in my presence?"

Shiro shrug and adjusted his fedora hat. "It's normal you might want to see them planning on the weekly Training in Hell Weekend in order to weed the rookies of Une's pet project Preventers. They even called it Peverel Style. You should have seen the look Une has when even she is roped on the training! I never heard someone cursed and shoot the targets that much."

"I think it hurt her pride that a four month pregnant woman beat her on that obstacle course. That was the last time we had ask Zero and Shinigami for an advice." Elina cannot stop the giggles that escape her lips. "Maybe you should try one of those, Relena. Its better to be a badass Queen than being a damsel in distress."

"And. . . she's asking me why Sally and Cat idolize her." Heero murmured as BABY Duo fell asleep on his chest.

"Oh hush."

They later spend their time until the others returned for lunch. Currently, they are in one of Quatre's vacation houses to celebrate Heero's birthday. The Wing Pilot flat out refused a large gathering so they are just preparing an intimate dinner.

"And currently, Trowa, make sure to take Duo away from your boyfriend or else Kitty Kat would not let him go." Elina said as Quatre doted upon Baby Duo. "I'm too young looking to see a baby from the two of you especially since Kitty can get himself pregnant!"

"We can borrow yours for practice." Trowa fully ignored the preggers comment like a pro.

"Elina, don't be so mean! Duo is so cute in baby form and we know that Heero won't let him go later on!" Quatre complained as the chibified pilot is currently sucking his bottle of milk.

That comment made them glance on Heero who just raised an eyebrow.

"I never thought they included baby education on your training, Heero." Catherine 'Cat' Bloom commented, Trowa's sister.

"Or he's just natural." Sally pointed out . "How long do you think we will have Baby Duo?"

"A Week if we did not gave him the antidote. But seeing the boys are getting their baby crash course, we will just prepare the antidote if something happens this week." Elina answered as Heero took Baby Duo from Quatre who pouted. "Q-bean, we are so building an orphanage if you like babies so much."

"Nice idea!"

"Figures he would like it." Wufei rolled his eyes. "How much is the budget."

"I could spare eighty trillion. It's just pocket change for me." The albino pulled out her trusty PDA. "And let's use Rere-chan's spare house in London. It's big enough for at least fifty babies and I could add up ore rooms in there and wards. Don't forget the wards."

"How rich are you, Elina?" Une asked as she and the girls stared at her. "I do not think Quatre's wealth measures yours and he is the richest bachelor as of late."

"That depends. We stopped counting after a decade." Satella's the one who answered. "We could visit the treasury rooms later."

Relena and Une felt faint.

"Are you telling us that you could save the world from economic crisis ten times over?" Relena.

". . it would not even make a dent. And since Potter luck strikes, when Rere-chan summoned me, Potter luck turned into Golden Rule meaning every business I focused on are currently on bloom. Why do you think he is dragging me on business meetings these past few months?" Elina rolled her eyes. "Duo is abusing the hell out of it especially on Casinos. He inherited the famous Hyper Intuition of Peverel Family and coupled of my Golden Rule, which is the biggest cheat. Ever."

"I still do not want to play poker with you or any card games. You cheated even wearing sleeve less shirts!" Heero complained.

"Oh, you are just bitter that you five ended up naked last time we played."

"You're cheating, Elina." Wufei pointed out.

"The laugh gave it out, you know." Trowa rolled his eyes. "Plain creepy. And I swear I even saw devil horns growing on her head."

"Che! At least the rest of you are now immune in my antics."

"More like insanity do not underestimate it." Quatre.

"You're still sane so no issues."

"You caused even Une nightmares." –Heero.

"I could do worse."

"She's right you know." Une drank her wine. "Care to tell me your other plans on our Pet Project?"

"Building them to Quality, Une. I also tasked Heero to read the reports on my future minions. The magical sectors are almost full. Gotta love using Vampires and Werewolves on Retrieval missions and they are still cursing me for the Entrance exam and one a month Training in Hell Week. Their screams are music to my ears. .. " Elina let out an evil laugh complete with thunder backdrop.

Baby Duo clapped in glee while the rest stared at Elina in disbelief.

"Now ,I'm sure being weird is hereditary." Wufei cannot help but to say.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Three days later,

"We had so many blackmail photos gathered for Baby Duo." Une commented as she is the one who was appointed (cough blackmailed cough) to watch Baby Duo for a few hours since no one is available and Elina has a cold.

"Duo is an easy baby, you know." Sally gently rubs the baby's back as Baby Duo curled on her chest fast asleep on his Pikachu onesei.

"At least we are now returning him to his mom. He kept calling Elina Mommy, its so cute." Une turned to the car window. "Elina is already on her sixth month, right?"

"Yeah. Her doctor said she is expecting twins and the boys are half way finished making the nursery. To be honest, even Trowa is afraid that Quatre would kidnap one of the babies as his own."

"I still wonder what the babies would look like. You need to admit that Elina's mates are good looking."

"I cannot believe her luck. Not one but two? One is a Portuguese and a French nobleman?"

"Actually, Elina said Gilbert is her Butler. She also said that her father saved him when he was dying by turning him into a demi human. I have not asked for the full version but basically, her love story is kinda screw up."

"At least she's legal. . right?"

"the courting, as Satella told me, started when she was seventeen years old mentally and physically, anyway. Don't know enough details but her father gave the go signal to her fiancés to knock her up since they are going to be married by the end of the week, anyway. However. . well you know the rest."

However, their talk ends up abruptly when the driver cursed. Une and Sally immediately went defensive and pulled their guns when multiple gunshot sounds surrounded them.

"Magicals!" Une exclaimed as she gotten out of the car. Without further ado, she starts shooting the masked Death Eaters. "Sally, protect Duo!"

"Yes!"

Time to see the fruits of those insane trainings Black Elina threw them!

Une and the rest of her four Preventer Guards immediately killed the DE who uses the killing curse. Head shot would do that and since Magical Britain's own wizards are so behind the times, they haven't invented any shield spell that could blocked a bullet.

Not their problem.

Une removed the empty magazines of her guns and replaced them. Returning fire, one of the cannon fodders called backup.

Shit, why did this happen just when Elina is out cold?!

She cannot call the boys too. Something is interruptin—jammer! Shit, when did they pulled that one?! Sall—

A stray Crucio hit her.

Shit. That hurt!

Before she passed out, she saw an old man carrying a crying Duo.

I'm so sorry. ..

"Oblivate!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Back to the Matsunaga Manor, Elina let out a terrifying growl.

Someone took her hatchling. Aljeena is wanting there blood.
