Three months before the reunion...

Lysithea doesn't tell Ethlando that she got pregnant their children for the sixth time. She feel very hurts and she wake up from her sleep. "Eth." Lysithea called her husband weakly. "Mhmmm... just go back to sleep, Thea." Ethlando muttered. She has no idea with her husband. "ETHLANDO TARATHIEL SILVYR ! YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BORN !" Lysithea shouted while hitting her husband's back very hard. Ethlando is surprise, he wake up and almost jump from their bed. "What did you said before ? You're not kidding me in the midnight, right ?" Ethlando asked. "NO, YOU DUMB SLEEPHEAD !" Lysithea yelled. She groans because it really hurting her. "Alright. - I don't told you - about this. Because it'll makes you worry. Only - Nath and Jacq know about this." Lysithea said in pain. "My goodness, Lysithea !" Ethlando said and he rolled his eyes. He take her robes and carry her downstairs. "Eth ! You'd better fast before they come out here !" Lysithea keep shouting in pain. Septimus, Joaquin, and Silvyr become awake and go out from their bedroom.

"What the heck is happening here ?" Septimus asked. "You're going to have another grandchildren, dad." Ethlando replied. "We'll go with you." Silvyr said. "Alright then." Ethlando said. They quickly get into the car and Eth is the one who drive the car. Finally, they reach the hospital. The surgery start and they wait outside. Two hours later, the doctor come out. "I'm sorry, Mr.Galather. You need to choose. If you choose your wife, you might lose your one of your children. If you choose one of your children, you might lose your wife." The doctor said. Ethlando feels very numb. Of course he can't choose one of them. "Is it in normal way or surgery ? Is she conscious ?" Ethlando asked. "Normal way. She's conscious. I can take you to her if you want to." The doctor replied. Ethlando quickly use the suit to get into the surgery room. "Mrs.Galather, your husband is here." The doctor said. "Eth." Lysithea called weakly. "Thea." Ethlando called with shock. He hold her hand and it feels very warm. "You know how to decide. Myself choose him. They're blessing in our household. If you lose me - you must be sincere, Ethlando. And, please if I'm not with you, take care of our children especially my dad. I love you and you know that." Lysithea said weakly. Tears falling down to Ethlando's cheek. "I'd better die if I lose you, Lysithea Seamus. But, if you want him to born safely, I'll obey your demand." Ethlando said with tears.

Lysithea smile to her husband and feel better to hear his decision. "Great decision." Lysithea said. Then, Ethlando kiss her. Their daughter born safely, also their son. Ethlando walk out to the waiting room and cried. "Eth ? What happen ?" Joaquin asked. "I- I- might lose her." Ethlando replied in a whisper. Joaquin feel stabbed inside. "If I lose her, I'll attempt my suicide. Stay alive, mein schwester. I'm alive because there is you." Joaquin thought. Septimus knows what happen, but he stays calm. "I know what just happen. Of course I don't want to lose my daughter. But, we can't do anything." Septimus said. The doctor come out again. "Mr.Galather, the babies are safe. Your wife is in a coma. Her regenerating system can work fast, so don't worry." The doctor said. "Thank you, doctor." Ethlando thanked.

Two weeks later...

Ethlando's hair become very white. Everytime he got stress, his hair will turn white. Septimus, Joaquin, and Silvyr's hair become grey because they also worry. Everyday, they sleep in Lysithea's room in the hospital. "We ? Getting older. Our hair." Septimus said. "You're right, dad." Ethlando said. Suddenly, Lysithea awake and slowly sit in her bed. "Thank goodness, I didn't dead." Lysithea thought. "Lysithea Seamus is the only woman that I love. The only girlfriend I ever had in my school years." Ethlando continued. Lysithea wants to prank her husband and she got an idea. "Really ?" Lysithea asked calmly. They all turn to her and surprise. "Thea !" "Mom !" They called her happily. "Have you got names for your babies, Eth ?" Lysithea asked. "No. Not until you sit in front of me now." Ethlando replied. "Sounds like me when your belove wife was born, Ethlando." Septimus said. "Wow, dad is a caring husband. Mhmmm. That's why mom and aunt Linny's heart melt." Lysithea joked. Septimus just rolled his eyes, he had no idea about his fifth child.

"Back to our bussiness." Lysithea continued. "Well, what did you prefer ? A city in Turkey ? Spanish name ?" Ethlando asked. "If you want a bit of Turkish we can name her Ankara and a bit of Spanish Letizia." Lysithea replied. "So, her name will be Ankara Letizia. I'll not forget to put your maiden name before my family name." Ethlando said. "You melt me." Lysithea joked. Septimus just playing with his nails pretending doesn't hear anything what his daughter said. Silvyr knows that his grandfather is acting. "Grandpa, you pretended that you don't hear what your daughter said to her husband, am I right ?" Silvyr joked in a serious face like his mother. "Well, yeah. Your grandma Lena also said that to me when your aunt Gene and Mäl were born." Septimus said sheepishly. Joaquin just hold himself not to laugh. Suddenly, Septimus tickles his son and makes him laugh very hard. "Boys." Lysithea muttered. "The boy will be Septian. Well, taking his name from your dad's nickname." Ethlando said. "Septian. Good name. His middle name, I have no idea." Lysithea said. "I choose my my spoiled brother and father in law's name. Tarathiel, Joaquin as his middle name." Ethlando continued. "Hear that, sleephead ?" Lysithea joked. "You melt me, gurl." Joaquin flirted sillily.

3 months later...

Septimus' old school friends wants to make a reunion in the Middleston Hotel for a week. They were told each other to bring their child. Septimus is thinking who will he take with him.

"Seb ? He's going to his parents in law's house. Chrysy ? She's going to France for holiday. Thea ? I'm still worry about her health. Nath ? Lena take her to her reunion with her old school friends. Jo ? Eth take him for a diplomatic bussiness. Gene and Mäl have their "important bussiness" with their friends. Oh goodness ! Which of them will I take ?" Septimus thought. Suddenly, Lysithea come to sit beside him.

"Dad. What are you thinking about ?"

"Nothing."

"You hide it. Tell me before I penetrate your mind." Lysithea joked and half teroring.

"Fine. I have a reunion with my old school friends this saturday until the next saturday and it means for a week staying in the Middleston Hotel in the south-east of Windsor. I'm confuse to choose who'll come with me. All of my children have their own bussiness. If I choose you, I'm worry about your health."

"I'm alright now. If you want, I can come with you after work at lunch time, when the ministry close."

"Really ? Are you sure that you're alright ?"

"Of course I'm sure."

"Thanks."

3 days later...
