"How long has it been? 6 years? It feels like I haven't seen Ellie in forever," pouts Meliodas. He looked tired, distressed, and just not like his usual self.

Ban rolls his eyes. "It's been 6 days~" He Says.

"Really?' Meliodas looks up at his friend for the first time.

"Yes. Your over exaggerating. You need to get your ass up. If your not gonna fight and try to get Elizabeth back then you should atleast come into the studio and help us record new music. We go on tour soon remember?" Says Ban.

Meliodas shoots his head up. "Your right...and I'll do both. Let's head to the studio. You and the other sins can help me make a song for Elizabeth."

"Please be quiet...let mommy be depressed." Elizabeth tells her daughter while rocking her, only half joking.

"She still won't stop crying?" Margaret Asks Elizabeth, coming into the room.

"I guess it's because she's teething, but even after rubbing her gums she won't stop." Elizabeth says tiredly. She hasn't gotten a full night of sleep in six days, and she looks her worst at the moment. Not only that, her mind kept wandering to Meliodas.

"Maybe it's because she misses her dad," Margaret suggests kindly.

Elizabeth sighs. This was the third time this has been said to her.

"You can't be mad at him forever. And regardless of you being mad...you should put Angel first."

"How can I do that when I know as soon as I see him my tough front will fade away and I'll be all in love with him again..."

"I don't know what's taking you so long. Forgive and forget. You were on deaths door, he had no faith left, he thought you were going to die, and to his defender, you did tell him to move on." Veronica says.

"Veronica!"

"No...she's right. But either way, it still doesn't remove the pang in my chest whenever I think about him and Liz, being just like us. Maybe if I am a walking time bomb...he should be with her..." says Elizabeth.

Veronica rolls her eyes. "Don't think like that. Look at you, your agoraphobia is almost cured for good."

"Almost." Sighs Elizabeth, as she goes back to trying to hush the baby in her arms.

Margaret looks down at a text in her phone, and Elizabeth can't help but notice her smile.

"What's got you happy?" Elizabeth asks.

"I-uhm...Gil was texting me is all."
She answers, and Elizabeth decides not to pry into their business.

"Come on Veronica, lets head to the store. We'll be back with some stuff to help her." Says Margaret before leaving.

"Don't you wanna sleep...?" Elizabeth holds up her daughter, looking into her emerald eyes, and her mind wandered to him once again.

Elizabeth sighs. "Don't worry, I miss him too." She says, but still the baby cries.

Elizabeth tries feeding her, checking her diaper, rubbing her gums, but still, nothing works. Her last thought is to sing, but that doesn't work either, but someone else's singing works.

"I'm missing you, I'm missing you
What the hell did I do? (did I do?)
Messing with someone new
Thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don't want new, I want you."

Elizabeth turns around, to see Meliodas on her balcony, guitar in hand singing.

"Thought I'd be better without you
I can't stop thinking about you
Now I'm with someone new (I want you)
Thought I'd be better without you
I can't stop thinking about you
Now I'm with someone new (I want you)"

Elizabeth had never heard this song before, so she could only assume he had recently written this for her.

"I'm missing you, I'm missing you
What the hell did I do? (did I do?)
Messing with someone new
Thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don't want new, I want you
Messing with someone new
Thinking I wanted to
Turns out I don't want new, I want you"

Elizabeth didn't know what to do, what to say, but as soon as her eyes met his, she felt herself give in and she unlocked the balcony door.

"Look, Meliodas, I-I over exaggerated and-"

"You didn't. This was all my fault. I-I should've said no to temptation, I should've just stayed home with Angel that night."

"You shouldn't blame yourself. You thought I was going to die and I told you to move on and you did. I'm happy that you got to be happy." Elizabeth blushes, looking away.

"That doesn't matter...it's still a mistake I made and-"

"And I forgive you." She says before kissing his lips.

Their kiss was long and passionate, and was only interrupted when Angel pulled at Elizabeth's hair.

"She gave me constant hell while you were gone. I haven't gotten any sleep." Elizabeth yawns.

"I got her now, so you rest." He Says, grabbing Angel and kissing her forehead.

"Thanks Mel..." She Says, laying down, yawning once again. "Also..." She says grabbing his hand. "I love you..." she says as she drifts off to sleep.

"I love you too, Ellie," He Says, kissing her forehead.
