Zelinnia turned over and curled up under Renwa's arm. "I should get Elunara to do that more often." She ran her tongue over her teeth. "I need to make sure my teeth are in order after you got through rattling them out of me."
He grinned. "Care toβ" He sighed at the baby's cry. "Ah well. We got the most out of it."
She snorted. "You're the one who wanted a pair." She rolled out of bed and fed Nara while Renwa got his uniform on. Once Nara was sated and returned to his crib, she turned her attention to Abigail.
Renwa bent down and kissed her, running a hand over Abigail's head. "She's getting so big..." They both froze as they heard it. "Shit, the alarm. Horde raid."
Zelinnia struggled to stand.
Renwa pushed her back into the seat. "No! No, you stay here. Keep our babies safe."
"But..."
"I've fought Horde before, this is no different. Stay here, keep our babies safe. Don't let anyone take them from us." He put a hand to her cheek. "I know you're a powerful mage, my love, but I need to defend the city, you need to defend our children."
"Stay safe." She whispered.
He kissed her and left. Quickly, she got Abigail back into her crib and tossed in a handful of toys. Opening the door, she peeked outside and saw Renwa take a hit. Without pausing to think, she slammed the door and ran for him. He went down on one knee and she screamed. "ELUNARA!"
Elunara heard it, and ran.
Zelinnia dove in front of the next shot, taking an arcane blast to the shoulder. She growled and readied a fireball. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
The Blood Elf dropped his cast and stared. "Zelinnia?" He stared. "Holy shit, it IS you! I didn't see you in the raid. Quick, help me bring down this guard."
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!" She roared.
"Hus..." He was body slammed by Elunara.
Elunara stared down at him. "Haven't I fucked you?"
He looked up. "Elunara? Zelinnia? The fuck is going on here?"
Zelinnia dropped her cast. "Zarenia?"
"Uh, I go by Zar now..."
Elunara snorted. "I would. That name is terrible."
"You called that man your husband?" Zar blinked.
"Yes. And I won't let you kill him. He's mine, dammit."
"Listen... how about instead of killing me... you capture me? Please? I want to talk to my sister."
"You have a brother?" Renwa coughed.
"We don't have time for this." Elunara sighed. She knocked Zar out. "Here, take him, Renwa." She dumped healing energy into Renwa's body. "Put him in the brig. Zelinnia, get back to your babies. I need to head to the keep."
Renwa stood and nodded. "Protect Varian."
After a short battle, Elunara sighed and shoved the last one down. "Either these guys suck, or we're going to hear some adventurers whining about Alliance preference again."
"That statement made no sense."
Elunara snorted. "Don't ask."
"Al....right?"
"Don't ask." She repeated. "I have to deal with Zelinnia's brother."
"Zelinnia has a BROTHER?" Varian blinked.
"Yeah, I know, right?"
Zar woke up and held his head with a groan.
"Oh, good, you're up."
He looked over and just stared. "Is that a BABY?"
"Sorry, it's feeding time." Zelinnia sighed and shifted Nara over. "I actually have two."
Renwa stepped in holding Abigail.
"And they're his?" He pointed to Renwa.
"Yes." Renwa put his hand on Zelinnia's shoulder.
"Dude." He raked a hand through his hair. "So, I'm an uncle now?"
"If you want to be?"
"That is so awesome." Zar strained his neck. "Can... can I see?"
Zelinnia shrugged and readjusted her top. She walked over to the bars, and Zar laid his hand on the infant's head.
Elunara wandered down. "How is it?"
"He's pretty cool. Oh, my Gods, mom and dad are going to FLIP!"He yanked his own hair. "You disappear for years, only to show up in..." His eyes went wide, and he stared at Renwa and Elunara. "Oh my GODS, mom and dad are going to FLIP! YOU MARRIED A HUMAN? You live in STORMWIND? You have BABIES?"
"Little slow on the uptake, isn't he?"
"WHAT THE LIVING HELL, ZELINNIA?" He grabbed her.
Both Elunara and Renwa were over at once, shoving him back and protecting Zelinnia.
Zar held up his hands. "Sorry, sorry! No offense!" He rubbed his neck. "Oh gods... you defected?"
"I defected to Thrall's face."
Zar's eyes went wide. "Holy Shit."
"Elunara saved my life. Not just by accident either. She gave her body to a madman, to keep me safe for weeks. I can't even hope to repay that. Then, she brought me into her life, her home, her family. I will never go back to Horde. This is my family, my home, my life."
"Wow... here, I just thought you were prostitute without standards." Zar stared at Elunara.
Elunara choked on her laugh. "Sweetheart, at the time I fucked you, I was an SI:7 agent milking you for everything you were dumb enough to cough up."
"Oh. Shit." He winced.
"Don't worry, you were next to useless. Not bad though."
Pacing back and forth in his cell, he considered. "So, what are their names?"
"Johnathan holds Abigail, and I'm holding Nara."
Zar laughed. "Nara, sounds like Elunara."
Zelinnia rolled her eyes. "Nara is named after Elunara."
"Oh." He blinked. "That's cool, I guess. Can I hold one?" He stepped back at everyone's change in stance. "Look, I love my sister, okay? I wouldn't do a thing to her, or her babies. I swear. I just want to hold my niece and nephew. Please?"
Zelinnia shrugged. "I trust him for a few minutes." Renwa opened the cell door and she held out Nara. Zar scooped him up. "Oh man, that's so freaky. He looks like that human."
"Renwa." Elunara supplied.
"Yeah, Renwa, whatever." He poked Nara's nose. "So cool." He handed the baby back to Zelinnia. "Oh man, I wish I could take you home."
