AN: Hi there!

This was a story a number of you asked for and I am happy to report that three months later...you got it! This is a sequel to my oneshot "Breaking News", which I highly suggest you read before you read this.

This project is going to have two running aspects. One is that it'll be pure fluff, almost no plot whatsoever beyond the advancement of time. The second is that these will be short pieces, just over the so called flash fiction length. My goal is to keep these pieces under 2000 words. I figure little shorts will be the best way to convey the sort of fun nature of this piece.

But wait, there's more! If these shorts receives enough of a positive responses from the LWA community, it will serve as a prequel to a much larger and epic LWA project. So if you want to see that please review, favorite, and sign up for alerts! If you want the next phase of this saga I started with "Breaking News", it will come.

Please enjoy and critique as always!

This time coming home for Diana was extra special, probably the most special it had been in some time. There were so many thoughts on her mind, so many things going through both her head and her heart that she wanted nothing more than to get home as quickly as possible and be with the one that she loved more than anything in the whole world.

She raced home from Luna Nova and made a quick stop before arriving at her house. When she arrived she quickly opened the door and nearly sprinted inside. "I'm home," she called out as she came through the door.

It didn't take long for her to be greeted. Akko was waiting for her in the living room of their small home. The brown haired Japanese woman quickly got up from the couch and embraced Diana in a large hug which the blonde equally reciprocated. Much to her surprise Diana found Akko bury her face in her chest and start crying, bawling lightly and letting tears fall down from her face into Diana's professor's uniform. Diana felt a bit startled by the display, but realized where it was coming from and sought to calm her wife with gentle strokes down her back and some humming.

"I missed you," Akko said through her tears. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too," Diana replied. She continued to stroke Akko's back and slide her hands through Akko's hair. "I always miss you but now…" Diana watched Akko look up at her. "It's only been a few hours since you were in my classroom and it feels like you've been gone for so much longer."

"Don't you get emotional on me now," Akko chuckled as tears still welled up in her eyes. "I'm the one who's supposed to be a total mess."

"Yes but…" Diana began. Before she could continue she felt Akko take her hand and begin to pull her away into the house. "Akko!"

Diana was dragged from the front of the house with her bag in hand all the way to the living room of their home. There she was left to stand with Akko away from her, able to reminisce at all the photos, flyers, and awards they kept in the space. She looked at all the medals and trophies she had received at Luna Nova; the time in her freshman year she was named Moonlit Witch, all the broom relay trophies, and many others. She looked at all the flyers from Akko's performances, marveling at the amount of regalia that Akko had accumulated in her brief time as a performer and magical entertainer. She took in all the pictures she had with world leaders, with smiling children, with glowing fans who Akko had brought inspiring uplifting performances to. And she took in all the photos of their wedding day, what had been the happiest day of Diana's life up till this point.

Now though, things were very different. This was a sensation, a set of feelings, that were entirely new. This day meant something so much more to her and Akko. And she could tell Akko wanted nothing more than to celebrate it with her in the comfort of their own home.

Akko reached over for the remote that controlled their home's entertainment system and put on a gentle acoustic guitar song. Before Diana could say another word she felt herself wrapped up gently and her hands held up. "Let me set my bag down at least," she asked. Akko chuckled and let Diana ago, allowing the blond witch to set her bag down on the coffee table before she took Akko's hands in her own. They were incredibly soft and just the right temperature, not too warm and not too cold, creating a sensation that Diana could describe as being nothing short of cozy.

Akko held Diana's hand and placed one hand around her wife's hip, which Diana did in kind. And as the music continued to play. Slowly they established a gentle rhythm, moving each other in an even cadence as the music filled the room. Diana looked down into her wife's eyes, seeing the raw emotion being held at their surface. She felt her own emotions swell up in her eyes as she looked down at Akko's.

"So how was the rest of your day?" Akko asked.

"It was…" Diana began. "Oh I don't even care, it was fine I suppose." She swayed Akko gently in her arms. "I'm just happy that I'm home with you. And that...it worked…"

"I know, right?" Akko chuckled. "It finally worked."

"It fucking worked!" Diana exclaimed with joy, not caring one bit that she had dropped an f bomb or that she had thrown any pretentions of subtlety out the window. She picked up Akko and spun her around in a circle. "It worked, it worked, it fucking worked, Akko!" She laughed loudly and continued to spin Akko in a circle, earning laughs from her wife before she set her down. "Oh my god it fucking worked. I still can't believe it." Diana finished. She laughed a bit more and exhaled deeply to calm herself. "I'm just at a loss, Akko, I don't know what to…"

"You're at a loss?" Akko questioned. Diana raised her eyebrows and looked down at her wife, who bore a confused and hurt look on her face. "But you sounded so happy…"

"Akko, I…" Diana began.

"I wanted to ask you, Diana," Akko began emotionally. Diana watched her swallow. "Back in your classroom you said it was impossible, that we couldn't have done this, and that I was pranking you…"

"Oh, Akko, I…"

"Why would you think it wasn't ours?" Akko quivered through her lips. "Do you think that we're not capable of doing something like this?" Diana watched as tears began to fall down Akko's face. "Do you not want our baby, Diana?"

Diana sighed gently and put her hands on Akko. "Oh, Akko," Diana said slowly. She held her wife tightly and ran hands down her back. "I'm so sorry." She let Akko cry into her shoulder and held her close. "I deeply regret saying those things."

"Then why would you say them then?" Akko squeaked through her tears.

"Because…" Diana began. She paused for a moment and went to get the correct words. "Akko, I may have said before I can't believe it but I assure you…" She bent down on one knee and held Akko gently by the belly while looking deep in her eyes. "I was merely in a state of shock when you brought this up. I would never deny what we are capable of when we work together."

"Diana…"

She reached up and wiped the tears from Akko's eyes. "The truth is...the truth is that I'm so happy…" Diana felt tears well up in her own eyes and herself get choked up. "I'm so happy that after all the research, all the nights, all the trying, Akko, that it worked. I'm so happy that I'm...I'm going to be a mother...and I'm going to get to be one with you because of all the things we worked so hard for." Diana sniffled and ran her hands over Akko's belly. "The Words of Artcurus really are true."

"Hmm?" Akko muttered perplexedly.

"Phaidoari Afairynghor," Diana stated. "'You do not get the things you dream...you get the things you work for…'" Diana couldn't take it anymore. She wrapped her arms around Akko's belly and nuzzled her cheek up against it. "Of all the things we worked for...this might be the greatest of them all. And we did it together."

Those last words made Akko tear up again, but this time Diana knew the tears were out of pure happiness. Diana knew she had made herself clear to her wife, and took a moment to embrace her tightly before getting up and going over to her bag. Akko looked at her curiously as Diana reached into the bag for its contents. She pulled out a bottle of sparkling apple juice and two flute glasses. "I picked this up for us on the way home," she said as she walked back to her wife. "I figured it would be an appropriate way for us to celebrate." She popped the cork on the bottle and handed Akko a glass, pouring her the fizzy liquid before Akko poured some for her. "To our new family," Diana toasted as she raised her glass. "May we all grow together over these next nine months."

"Here here!" Akko said happily. She tapped her glass against Diana's and sipped her juice. "But, you know we have a lot more work to do, right?"

Diana raised her eyebrow. "More?"

"Well yeah we gotta buy baby clothes, buy baby toys, paint the baby's rooms here and the Cavendish estate," Akko said. "And we have to baby proof the houses, set up the baby's rooms, prepare the servants at the Cavendish estate for the baby so they can be ready when we come visit…"

Diana listened closely as Akko continued to rattle off more and more things that would have to happen over the next nine months. In fact there were so many things that it all made Diana rather dizzy. Why didn't she think of all this? "There's all that and so much more that we ought to do. And you're still going to be teaching your classes! Are you ready for all this?"

Diana felt the blood rush to her face and her heart skip a beat. Nervously she held onto her glass and looked Akko in the eyes, swallowing as she spoke her answer. "Yes. Yes I am. Because I'm doing all of that with you. And as long as I'm doing it all with you, Akko, then I'm ready for anything."

Diana found herself wrapped up once again in a tight embrace and smiled. The next nine months would surely be arduous, but as long as Akko was by her side everything would be okay.
