The son of asta

chapter 19

As Noelle was sitting on a bench with Vanessa waiting for Finral to appear so he can take them back to the base Vanessa engaged in a conversation with the soon to be mother about her pregnancy and how she's feeling

Vanessa:so how are you feeling Noelle? Must be pretty exciting to be a mother huh

Noelle:y-yeah I am, kinda...

Vanessa:you don't sound so sure, Noelle are you really happy that you're pregnant?

Noelle:i am but I'm really happy to know that I'm going to be mother and to Asta's baby no less but it's just...

Vanessa:it's just what?

Noelle:for starters...I don't know if I'll be a good mother, I didn't have my mother around to know what it's like to be a mom

Vanessa:I'm sure you'll be an amazing mom, you have a kind heart and that one of the most important part of being a mother, now what's the other problem you may have?

Noelle:I.....I wish asta could be here, I want him to be here so I can tell him the great new's, I want to feel his arms wrapped around me as we celebrate but.... But he's not here and I don't know when or if he'll ever be back [tears up]

Vanessa:Noelle honey don't stress yourself out it won't be good for the baby, I know it may sound like it'll be difficult but you won't be alone we the black bulls will do anything to help got it

Noelle:[wipes tears] y-yeah you're right, just wish things were different you know

Vanessa:[gives noelle a tissue] no no I understand, the father should be the one here of course along with the mother to find out they're expecting and little one, so what do you hope it is a boy or girl?

Noelle:well-

Finral:hey I'm finally here

Vanessa:geez what took so long?

Finral:hehe, sorry captain yami had me run some errands but I'm here now

Finral looks over to see Noelle looking at the floor while holding her stomach

Finral:so uh did you guys find out what's wrong with Noelle

Vanessa:we did and there's nothing wrong with Noelle it's just-

Noelle:wait don't say anything please, I want the whole sqaud to hear it

Vanessa:[smiles] sure if thats what you want

Noelle stands up and goes through the portal

Vanessa:well come on lets go

Finral:ah sure but what's up with here being all mysterious?

Vanessa:you'll find out soon enough

Vanessa walks through the portal and Finral soon follows behind, once they land inside the base Noelle looks around and sees almost no one their besides charmy eating, gauche looking at a picture of his sister while grey was looking at him with a blush and of course Captain Yami sitting on the couch reading the news paper

Noelle:Captain Yami where is everyone i have important news to share

Yami:their out either on a mission or out doing their own thing

Noelle:do you know when they'll be back?

Yami:beats me, now if you'll excuse me I have to be going somewhere, Finral-

Finral:can't you walk to the bathroom on your own Captain it literally in the same place Henry left it at

Yami:[grabs finral by the head] if you would let me talk I could tell you where to take me
