Ok, I dropped the RxC story. But to make up for it I did this! Yes its a oneshot, but its pretty much how the story ends.

Calanetta sighed and looked down at her feet again. Rhys had asked her to meet him in the park. It was only a few days before Christmas and the sun was setting. It casted a pinkish orange glow across the snow that covered the ground and the trees. Calanetta sat on a bench and shivered, pulling her cloak closer to her. How would he react? Her… pregnant… she knew a girl in her city that had gotten pregnant, and then the boyfriend that impregnated her left her. Would Rhys do that?

I’ll tell him when he gets here. Calanetta decided.

“Hey Cal!”

Rhys walked up to her and smiled, then it faded when he saw the look on her face. He sat down beside her and put her arm around her. “What’s wrong? Why the long face?”

Calanetta smiled. “Nothing. I just missed you is all.” She kissed him and nuzzled him. There was no way he would leave her! He was too nice.

“Come on, let’s go take a walk.” Rhys said, standing up. He held out his hand and helped her up, even though he knew full well she didn’t need help. Rhys smiled at her and put his arm around her waist. There was silence, though it was warm and pleasant.

“Rhys I want to-”

“Cal I need to-”

They looked at each other and laughed a bit. Calanetta smiled. “You go first, Rhys.”

Rhys let out a sigh and stopped walking. Curious, Calanetta did as well. She cocked her head and Rhys moved away from her and stood in front of her. “Calanetta… you know I love you more than anything in the world, right?”

Calanetta nodded. “Yes, of course!”

“And you love me, right?”

“Do you even have to ask that? Of course I do!”

Rhys let out a nervous sigh and got down on one knee. He pulled a small velvet case out of his cloak and opened it. He opened it and showed her what was inside: a necklace with a gold-orange stone that had an odd symbol carved into it. A Witchan engagement necklace. “Calanetta… will you marry me?”

Calanetta gasped and the tears filled her eyes. She smiled happily. “Yes! Yes yes a million times yes!” She tackle-hugged him and ended up on top of him. She kissed him, then got off. She sat on the snow, her legs crossed. “But… well…”

Rhys sat down beside her and began to take the engagement necklace out of its case. “But what?” He looked at her with a concerned expression.

Calanetta sighed. “Rhys… I wanted to tell you… remember a few nights ago… when we were watching that movie and we started kissing and… you know? Well… I found out yesterday that… I’m pregnant.” She looked down and pinned her ears back, waiting for his response. She felt something touch her neck, though it was only Rhys putting the necklace on her. He hugged her from behind.

“Boy it’s a good thing you said yes because if you didn’t my mom would kill me…” Rhys said with a grin. “You didn’t say yes just because of the baby, did you?”

Calanetta smiled and set her paws on his hands. “Not really. I would have said yes, baby or no baby.” She turned her head and kissed him. “Well we’ve got a lot to announce at that party on Christmas Eve, eh?”

Rhys nodded and helped her up. “Till then… don’t wear the necklace and don’t tell anyone. I want to make it a surprise.”

Calanetta smiled and nodded. She took off the necklace and smiled. “It is beautiful though. I can’t wait to see the look on everyone’s faces!”

Rhys nodded and grinned. “Ten bucks says my mom with faint.”

Calanetta smiled and rolled her eyes. “Oh Rhys!” She put the necklace in her cloak for later. Then she kissed Rhys and hugged him. “A baby on the way and a wedding too!”

“About the kid… you realize there’s a good chance he’ll-or she’ll-have the Green Aura… and maybe even a bit of Donovan…” Rhys said, not meeting her eyes. “And I told you how much crap that thing causes-”

Calanetta shushed him and kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around her and she smiled at him. “I don’t care. He’ll be perfectly fine as long as his-or her-papa sticks around to keep danger away.”

Rhys smiled and kissed her. Then he noticed the sun was almost completely set. “Come on…we better get going.”

And the walked out of the park, Rhys with his arm around Calanetta’s waist and Calanetta’s head resting on his shoulder.

A few days later on Christmas Eve the guys had gathered at the Felcinian palace where they were having a little ‘party.’ The kids were playing on the floor and talking about what they wanted for Christmas. Rhys watched them, somewhat nervously. What if he wasn’t a good dad?

“Ok, what’s wrong?”

Rhys spun around and saw Chi standing behind him, her arms crossed and her emerald-green eyes narrowed in suispicion. He shuddered to think what would happen if she was a mind-reader. He and Wizardmon would never get a moment’s peace. “Who let you in? And nothing. Shouldn’t you be playing?” He gestured to the other kids, many of them were much older than Chi.

Chi rolled her eyes. “I was about to ask you the same question! And if nothing is wrong why are you blanking out? And I don’t play.”

Rhys sighed and shook his head. “ Its none of your concern. Just go do whatever weird little girls like you do!”

Chi shrugged and walked off.

Calanetta came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. “What’s wrong? Having second thoughts?”

Rhys grinned. “No. I’m just wondering… do you think the kid will like me?”

Calanetta smiled. “Of course they’ll like you! What’s not to like?” She kissed his cheek. “When are we going to announce that we’re…? And I’m…?”

Rhys smiled. “How about… right now! Hold on. YO! CHI!”

“I’M COMIN’ I’M COMIN’!”

Chi came storming over, her arms crossed. “What?! I was almost done with the chapter!” She tossed her head angrily to get her bangs out of her eyes.

“We need you to get everyone’s attention.” Rhys said.

Chi shrugged. “Whatever. HEY! EVERYONE! MY BIG IDIOT OF A BROTHER WANTS TO TALK TO YOU GUYS!” When everyone turned to look at her, she walked away. Most likely to get back to her book.

“Thank you, Chi. My adorable little sister everyone! Well… you all know Calanetta… and you know that we’ve been going out for a while now… and… a few days ago… I asked Calanetta to marry me.” Rhys said.

“And I said yes.” Calanetta said, pulling out the necklace from her cloak. She smiled and put it on, then hugged Rhys.

The reaction was exactly how they pictured: Palesa burst into tears and hugged Rhys and all the guys came over and pounded Rhys on the back. The girls went over to Calanetta and congratulated her. Her sisters hugged her and they all began talking at once.

“There’s one other thing…” Rhys said once everyone had calmed down. He looked at Calanetta.

“I’m pregnant.” Calanetta said.

Everyone seemed shocked at first. Calanetta’s sisters stared at her and Palesa and Wizardmon looked at Rhys curiously. Then Tai broke the silence:

“WAY TO GO RHYS!”

Rhys laughed and the boys grinned at him and called him a dog and Calanetta’s sisters squealed and hugged her.

“Rhys… my son… may I speak to you alone?” Palesa asked, walking up. She was wiping the tears from her eyes.

Rhys nodded and stepped aside with his mother. “I know what your going to say mother… I was careless… and I was lucky that Calanetta and I love each other.”

Palesa smiled and shook her head. “You are right, my son, but that’s not what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you that I will always be there for you if you need any help with the baby or with anything else.”

Rhys smiled. “Thank you, Mother. But… what if I’m a horrible father? I mean… Donovan wasn’t exactly a great role model and the one that adopted me and Shahar… pffft.”

Palesa kissed his cheek. “You’ll be a wonderful father.”

Rhys smiled. “Thank you, Mother.”

“Rhys! Get your butt over there and keep your fiance company!” Davis said, coming up behind them.

He shoved Rhys over. Rhys stumbled, then caught himself. He grinned at Calanetta, then knelt down and set his hand on her stomach. “Hey in there! You better look a lot like me, got that? And your going to be Rhys Jr.!”

Calanetta laughed. “What if it’s a girl?”

“She’ll be Rhysa.”

Calanetta laughed and kissed his forehead. “I love you.”

Aw... and then they had nine more kids. The end. Well... maybe you should add two to that number...

Chi: Oh God...
