"What?" Alex whispered, looking down at the two. "O....Our....our.....chi....chil.....children?" he asked. "Our children? A-are you sure?" he wondered. "Dear lord....I...Is this why you came to visit?"

Tiff looked at him with worried eyes. "I...I thought you would be happy." she said softly, looking hurt. "I came to be with you...I..." She did not know what else to say, she hadnt counted on him not wanting his children.

"No, no! It's not that I'm mad...I just feel surprised. That I would have two, beautiful children...With their mother being the Queen of Dark Elves...I never imagined that I had...I am honored," he said, and fell to his knee, smiling. "If you would allow me to act as their father, then you can stay here for as long as you want." He would rise up after a few seconds and look at them, still unable to believe this. "May...May I hold one of them? What are their names?" he smiled, feeling like he was about to tear up a bit, before a realization hit him. "...Do either of them show potential for magic?" he asked.

Tiff sighed in relief when she realized that Alex did not hate his children. "I named the girl Shia, but the boy remains unnamed." She said softly as she passed the unnamed boy to Alex. "I do not know...they are still very young, but I dont see how they can avoid it...they are your children."

"May I name him?" Alex smiled. It seems Sarah may have some fellow apprentices soon. Perhaps one day she'll teach them, he thought. "Lillia, Neko, come here! I want you to meet my children!" he grinned, taking the boy into his hands. "Hi there, little guy. I'm your dad...I'm your father," he whispered, a tear actually falling down onto his face, but that was the only one.

The boy smiled and giggled a little in his fathers arms. "Yes, I saved him his name so that you could chose it." Lillia and Neko both approached and awwed. Neko had never seen a baby before, and was curious about the cute little bundle in her master's arms.

Lillia...Are you okay...? He knew babies may bring back bad memories, and he knew that at times, Lillia was jealous of Tiff, so he hoped she would still know he loved her as well. "I think I shall name him...Dante,"he decided, kissing his son's head.

Lillia nodded and looked down. Although this did all pain her greatly, she kept it inside herself, not wanting to cause her master any trouble.

Alex held his child for a bit longer, before handing him to Tiff. He then looked at Lillia, and placed his hand under her chin so she would look at him. He said nothing, but kissed her lips, wanting her to know he was sorry about what happened to their child.

Tiff was a bit confused by the comforting act. She was wondering why he wasnt kissing her and Lillia instead. She began to think that perhaps she had been replaced by the model slave.

"Um...Alex." she said softly. "It has been a long trip. Do you think I could get a room to rest myself and the children in?"
