Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Aye love, as always you're right. Perhaps the time has come where I needn't worry so much of the outside world and it's goings on and instead focus on the love, affection and really the only thing I need, which stands right here in front of me. You."

Xol grinned in a stupidly lovestruck kind of way as she clutched his hand and moved it towards her belly. A bolt of what seemed like electricity shot through his hand and up his spine. This caused him to reel back slightly clutching he head. "Wh... what the..." Xol stammered before the full realization hit him. He had felt this before. "Y... you're... pre... pregnant?!" His eyes widened as he rushed in and embraced her. It made sense now, the aura he had felt was muddled, but felt so familiar at the same time. It was his child... he was going to be a dad again. "I'm going to be a daddy! Oh Phia, I've waited so long to be able to say those words again. You have only the faintest idea of how much this means to me, us rather... I'm... I'm at a loss for words I'm so happy!"

Xol suddenly fell back onto his bottom, his face slightly pale as he took a deep breath and looked up at his wife. "Well. That was intense, I think that overwhelming feel of joy overcompensated my internals there for a second." He chuckled lightheartedly as he stood up, again clutching and picking Phia up in an outpouring of emotion that caused him to swing her around in a fit of ecstasy. "I love you! I love you! I love you!"

Xol blinked a few times, put her down, blinked some more and looked at her and then to her stomach. "Tw... two? Two babies? Look like I have some powerful swimmers." He laughed, smiling as he joked. This had to be one of, if not the most happiest moment of his life. It was bound to happen eventually given how much they... yeah, however it was still a pleasant shock. "Phia love, we have to tell everybody! We're going to have a huge family now... I'm going to need to get the rooms ready, move stuff around, baby proof everything..." Xol rambled on thinking of the things he had to do, pacing back and forth as he made a check list out loud. He stopped short turning back to her, face still flushed red as emotion burst out of him from seemingly every pore. "Why are you so pale? Are you okay? Do you need to sit down?" Are you having hot flashes?!" After a large intake of breath it hit him like a ton of bricks. "You haven't fed in awhile have you..."

It had been awhile since he had felt overwhelming joy like this so he could understand how ridiculous he looked prancing around like a kid. "Eh, sorry... haven't had anything to really get excited about lately, aside from you of course love." Xol frowned and pulled her close in a tight hug. Sensing she, at this point, was probably on the verge of insanity with hunger pangs. "We can do this one of two ways. You can feed on me again, just try not to kill me this time, heh, or I can make a cocktail in my lab?" He kissed her gently on the forehead, nuzzling into her neck and brushing his lips past her ear. "I love you Phia."

Xol chuckled, moving his arm up from his side and lovingly brushing a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. "No silly, no alcohol, just a less concentrated version of my blood. I don't think giving you a pure sample is exactly the safest thing considering last time." He grinned sheepishly, it wasn't as if she could entirely drain him. His body would protect itself in a case like that. However, the last time did make him considerably weak for a time. This was something he looked into extensively and the only conclusion he could come up with was that draining his essence wasn't a good idea. Duh, right? "What are you thinking? I was just going over the possibilities of what we might be gifted with. I would dare say given how incredibility powerful, and dead sexy we both are, our little ones will be quite the formidable mix." Xol smirked, that trademark pompous, knowing smirk with his a slight showing of his fangs. The real fun was only just beginning. He just wondered who would be interested in this fortunate turn of events.

"Indeed it does my love, however I've found a way to manipulate it into a alternate delivery system. A syringe of sorts." His mind went over the possibilities of what their children would be capable of. Almost as if they had the same thought processes, Xol's mind wandered to the time Phia lost control in the training room. Not to mention all the times Xol has lost control of his own powers early on in his life. This is be the same problem to the young ones until they were properly taught how to control the massive amounts of power they would be contending with.

"Oh, I'm very certain they'll be talented indeed. We just need to work on ways of limiting their powers at first so they don't go on and blow up the planet with an outburst." He chuckled, caressing the side of his wife's face with the back of his hand lovingly. It would be a long and a most certainly challenging journey from here on out.

"Only the best for our young ones Phia, of course. There is no depths to the amount of knowledge and skills we can bestow upon them. They will be formidable indeed." Xol looked into the depths of her violet gaze, still sensing a strong feeling of doubt as she spoke about not being able to control their powers, like she herself found difficulty in doing. "If you want, I could fashion some sort of restraining device. Perhaps a necklace, or an implant that would hinder their ability to fully reach their full potential until we thought they were able to fully control themselves? Just a thought."

Xol's eyes were still locked intently with Phia's. "On to more pressing matters though. You're pale... well, paler than usual at least." Xol chuckled, leaning in and giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Let's get some of my blood into you before you pass out love."

"'Twas just a suggestion love. I wouldn't like doing it either, however it would be one of many ways. Plus it would be something they would never know was restraining them... such as a pendant or sub-dermal implant. Again, something as easy as training would suffice, but the younger they are the harder they are to train such vast amounts of control."

Xol sighed, knowing he'd have to shadow walk as the other way made Phia uncomfortable. And being that she was already feeling less than stellar, he didn't want to cause any more undo stress. With that, they sunk into their own shadows to reappear in his lab, by a large diffuser he had been using to tinker with his 'blood'.

"Alright... just, um, give me a second..."

Xol was typing at a holographic display, moving around what looked like strands of DNA. Small text followed each grab and drag, followed by black and red X's with one could assume meant something was wrong or incompatiable. He sighed, leaning on the metal table to his left and facing Phia as she asked him about seeing her kids.

"What? Of course love, I see no reason allowing your children here. Besides, I'll technically be their step or rather... second father sifgure. It's confusing isn't it." He laughed lightly, small objects falling off the edge of the table. After picking them up again, he turned his gaze back to Phia "What do they think of me? I mean... they can't be perfectly okay with it I assume. I wouldn't want them being uncomfortable around me, you know? But I'd love to try and be a part of their lives."

Xol turned back to his display and continued to work on the strains of DNA in front of him. "When do you want to go pick them up? I'm not really too focused on work today... it's be nice to get out really. The lab has become quite stuffy lately, even though there's things I still have to mess around with I would love to go somewhere with you."
