Nico just chuckled, though internally he was wondering about Darrell.

"No worries, Desiree." he said.

"I'm glad everything turned out all right with the birthing." he told her.

"It was messy." Jaden muttered.

"But thanks to Rene and his previous knowledge, Desiree was actually in no real danger, it seems. Not this time, anyway." he went on.

"...and.... for the last time..." he then mumbled, as Darrell approached Desiree.

"I have a sister now!?" he exclaimed to her.

"Not so loud, Darrell." Desiree said.

"But yes. You do." She added as she made her way over to take a seat next to him.

"She's at home right now though." She added.

"We didn't want to risk anything with the mana. So Serenity is looking over her for the moment."

"You can meet her when we get home."

Darrell nodded and jumped up and down some.

"Yay!" he exclaimed.

"Volume." Jaden said.

Having heard it from both his parents now, Darrell calmed down.

"...." he was then silent, before looking around.

"Gotta pee!" he said, before rushing out of the room.

Nico just chuckled at that.

"We learned something about Darrell, by the way." he then told Jaden and Desiree.

Desiree paused before looking to Nico, her expression quizzical, and almost concerned.

". . . . should I be worried?" She asked.

"Doubt it." was Sydney's answer before looking to Jaden.

"He taks after you."

"Me?" Jaden replied.

"Wait, is it mana showing already?" he asked.

"Nope." Nico said.

"Then... how...?" Jaden started to ask, before pausing.

".......wait..." he muttered.

"No way." he said.

"It's not THAT surprising, son." Nico told him.

Desiree was silent for a moment.

"... I think it was around his age that my eye came into play too." She commented.

"Sounds about right. I do wonder if he'll have active mana though" Sydney said with a sigh.

"He shouldn't have thr hunters natural hatred of mana though, at least."

"That's something we'll find out later." Nico replied.

"For now, we need to talk to Darrell about his... new talent." he reasoned.

"...yeah, you're right." Jaden agreed.

"However, good to see you're no worse for the wear, Desiree." Nico then said to Desiree.

"That Dr. Calder really IS a miracle worker." he chuckled.

"And you should never have to go through that again." he added.

Desiree just chuckled lightly.

"Yeah... I'm a bit on the rough side, but I'm all right." She assured him.

"Rene's amazing. Although, to be fair, he also had a very effective meidc working with him." She added with a laugh.

"I'll say. I had to fill in for Emma." sydney commented.

".Sorry about that." desiree then said, a bit of a sheepish tone to her voice.

"Nahhh. I like working in the med wing, if I'm being honest." was Sydney's response.

"At least there's that." Jaden said.

"But yeah, I really should talk to Darrell." he admitted.

"WE should." Nico corrected him.

"I'M the one that passed it to you, so it's my responsibility as well." he reasoned.

"Okay, that's fair." Jaden replied.

"But it doesn't have to be immediate." Nico then said.

"It can wait for at least a day or so. Let him see his sister first." he chuckled.

"By the way, what did you decide for a name?" he asked. "I recall you were bouncing through several ideas, but nothing was made concrete."

"It took awhile, but yeah. We did decide on a name." Desiree answered with a chuckle.

"Oh? What'd you two decide upon?" Sydney asked, her voice curious.

"Jordan." Desiree answered.

"I wanted to have it with a y, but Jaden make a very valid point. The reason we wanted a gender neutral name was for resumes and the like in the future. Having it with a y makes it .... well, obviously a female."

"Ah, I see." Nico replied.

"Jordan is a fine name." he said.

"I hope she'll like it in her future." Jaden commented.

"She won't." Nico responded.

"Huh?" Jaden asked, concerned now.

"All children go through a point in their lives when they don't like their name." Nico said.

"Isn't that right, 'JADEN'?" he asked with a smirk, doing air quotes when he said the name.

Desiree just laughed.

". . . That's very true." Sydney commented.

". . . Y'know, he still hasn't actually told me what his first name is. He has, however, told me that he uses his middle name, but I still don't know his first." Desiree commented with a shrug.

There was a heavy silence in the room for a moment.

Jaden then sighed.

"It's Éliás." he told her.

"My real first name is Éliás." he confirmed.

"My full name is is Éliás Jaden B-" he started to say further, before freezing, almost like he was in fear.

"Sherwood." he said.

"My last name is Sherwood. And it was never anything else." he growled.

"Same as Mom." he added.

Sydney just laughed.

"I know about the Bathory connection." Desiree commented.

"I told her awhile ago." Sydney added. "Because Darrell deserves to know that he's technically nobility." She added as the child returned to the room.

Jaden just sighed, and didn't say anything as Darrell returned.

"Someone say my name?" he asked.

Jaden was silent, before looking at him.

"So. Did you have fun with grandma and grandpa?" he asked.

"Yes!" Darrell exclaimed.

"It was fun staying here!" he told them.

"Thanks again for looking after him." Jaden said to Sydney and Nico.

"Hey, not a problem." Sydney responded as Desiree got to her feet, Darrell in her arms.

"You know you can get Nico and I to watch Darrell and Jordan at any time." She added.

"We appreciate it. Thank you so much, you two." Desiree saidw ith a soft smile, and gratitude in her voice.

Darrel hugged Desiree and didn't let go, glad to see his Mom again, and to be held by her.

"Well, suppose we should go." Jaden said.

"Try and get back to our lives." he went on.

"Oh, and Mom?" he then said to Sydney.

"I think we've told you this, but we're waiting until Jordan's at least a year old." he told her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Watch. Now that you've called attention to it, it'll be all he says." he declared.

Sydney just shrugged, smirking behind the mug of coffee that she was taking a drink from.

"Let's just get out of here. Thank you again, Sydney." Desiree said with a sigh before the three of them made sure they were good, and vanished from where they were in a burst of wind.

She walked into the room, where her brother was sitting, and paused a moment. She let out a small cry of surprise, and ... maybe some fear as she saw her brother.

When he looked over, he saw the little five year old had a surprisingly bright eye, that he was sure she hadn't had before.
