For Her (Xiao x Traveler// Lumine)

"Xiao! Oh Xiao!" Paimon screamed at the top of her lungs "Xiao we have some exciting news for you!"

I groaned as I ruffled my hair, why is she calling me? Perhaps the traveler is in danger? No.. no don't think that. The Traveler can defend herself, but wait, what if she's in danger and something only I can defeat it?

I sighed heavily as I pulled a little of my hair out of frustration

I quickly fixed myself and went home, I saw Paimon beside the Traveler who is now throwing up in the sink, confusion starts to cloud my mind, why is she throwing up? Did she ate something bad? Was it because I can't cook good?

I've been noticing that she's been throwing up ever since, she's been restless and been going to the bathroom lately, she also has this large appetite. What's going on to her? I'm now getting worried

I carefully carried her on my back as soon as she stopped vomiting and went out of the house to go to Doc. Baizhu

As soon as we reached there, I gently put her down and took a chair

"Congratulations Traveler and Adeptus Xiao"

Those... Words.... What does she mean?

"Xiao" Lumine held my arm and is now smilling softly

I was confused, I didn't now what was going on. I turned to Lumine then the doctor and back to Lumine again, I was so confused, no one would dare tell me

Then my heart skipped a beat when she told me that 6 words that I knew would change my life forever

"You're going to be a father"

Tears escaped my eyes, smiles formed my lips "I-I am?" I said in utter shock. I couldn't believe it. Me? An adeptus who's carrying a dangerous karma that is harmful for humans? Is going to be a father?

I saw how Lumine is now crying because of so much joy

- 9 months later -

"Are you sure you need to go? My due date is almost near" Lumine looked at me with her baby eyes

Damn she's doing her baby eyes again

"I'm sorry Love, Liyue needs me"

She sighed heavily as she gently rubbed her tummy

"Okay Love, stay safe and out of danger okay? I want you to be there before I give birth"

I chuckled and kissed her forehead

"I promise to be back to see our angels" I smiled at her and she gave me her death glare

"Wha- Ouch! What was that for?!" I pouted as I massaged the part of my head where her fist landed

"I'll kill you if this ever comes out as two or three babies" she threatened and I just chuckled again

Damn she looked cute when she gets mad

I kissed her forehead once more and whispered "no matter how many our kids are, I promise to always love them and won't abandon them okay?"

She smiled widely and giggled "okay okay, go out there and do your job! I love you!"

"I love you too and our little angels, my love"

"X-Xiao, your wife.. she.. s-she's dead.."

I felt like my whole world crashed down

I.. I can't move..

No..

She can't be..

My love.. L-Lumine..

I rushed back home to see it in engulfing flames

Paimon was there.. trying to get in the burning house

Our burning house..

"Damn you Abyss Herald! What has the Traveler done to you?! Damn you too Lumine's brother! Damn all of you!" she screamed, crying

While me, I just stood there, speechless

My wife..

My happiness..

She too.. has left me

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Xiao, let's visit the Traveler" Paimon suggested and I just nodded

It's been 7 years since you died my love

When I saw my wife's burnt body after they extinguished the flames, I didn't know what came to me and I slaughtered every monster I came across, if Paimon hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't be alive right now

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Paimon and I went to see my beloved wife and kids' graves which is just nearby. I learned that we were supposed to have twins that night if that fire hadn't broke out

I cleaned their tombstone and carefully placed flowers on their specialized vases made for them, I lighted a candle and prayed for them

I sat at my beloved's grave and carefully touched her elegantly carved name on her tombstone

"Outlander Lumine"

I closed my eyes and smiled at the sight of the view behind their tombstone

"If they didn't die, what would be your kids like?" Paimon asked out of the blue

I looked at the sky and felt the cool breeze of the night air

"That doesn't matter now Paimon, what matters now is I eliminated every possible monster that could've killed my family"

"You really can do anything for her, huh?"

"For her, I would do everything, no matter what"
