"Er..."
*She paused, trying to think how to word it.*
"Yes, but... it won't be around much. It'll go live with another family who'll be able to take care of it better."

*Aimee nodded knowingly.*
"Oh. Kinda like I'm living with Uncle Marius?" *She said. She knew the connection was a bit off, but it was the closest she could come.*

*She nodded.*
"Something like that, yes. Only... probably less visiting. Until he/she grows up enough and wants to go find their past and see who their mommy was. Future wangst FTW!"
*She shrugged, sipping her tea.*
"I don't have the time, money or patience to raise an infant on my own."

*Aimee shrugged.*
"Okay." *She said.* "Who's the daddy?"

*She shook her head.*
"It doesn't matter. He's made it clear that-" *She stopped mid sentence. Who was she to dump her troubles on a six-year-old? She didn't want the girl getting the impression that men were nothing but sex crazed unfaithful jerks. Which they were. But whatever. She smiled in an almost convincing manner.*
"Don't worry about it."

**AMEZ**
*Aimee looked disbelievingly at Renn.*
"He made it clear that what?"

**LATER, SOMETIME AFTER THE PARTY**
*der Tod's mind was reeling with all the emotions that had come through during the party--the dress she had worn, the dance, and the realization of who Renn actually was. He didn't know how he was going to tell her something so incredibly monumental, but he owed it to her. And waiting to tell her wouldn't be right. Besides, it meant he could do things the way it should have been, from the beginning.
Finally, they were home*

*When they entered the small apartment, Renn smiled, almost timidly. She was wondering what the hell had happened at the party- She knew it was something huge, something almost beyond her comprehension.*
"So," *she began, standing at the dining table, facing the window. She looked out at the bright lights of the city, without really seeing them.*

*He walked up to stand behind her, putting his arms around her waist*
"I don't know where to begin, Rennifly. How to tell you..."
*He heaved a sigh, letting the words trail off before continuing*
"I have spoken before of Sisi. I know you understand how I felt about her...feel.*
*He brushed the fabric of her dress, staring at the little star*
"She wore a dress exactly like this, once. There was a painting made of it."

So that's where it was- Oh my God. Could I have possibly picked a more idiotic costume?
*Her face flushed at the realization, and she gave him an embarrassed and apologetic smiled.*
"Oh my god, I didn't realize-"

"It's all right, my love. I know you did not choose it to hurt me. You chose it for a very different reason."
*He kissed her forehead wishing, not for the first time, that he could kiss her on the mouth.*
"I sensed it, but I did not understand it until the dance. You were...are...her."
*Outside, the wind keened softly*

"I... am Empress Elisabeth of Austria?"
*There was a skeptical look on her face, but... Somehow it made sense. There were half remembered conversations, certain feelings she got from places and people that didn't make sense to her...
And him. How everything had fallen into place. As if... is if they were meant to be.
It all sounded completely ridiculous.*
"I... Okay. Wow."

"Yes. The conversation, during the dance? For a moment, you were Sisi, not Renn. Do you remember?"
*His eyes searched her face for any sign that she recalled that moment, his words somewhat hushed*

*She did remember, of course. It had been a strange moment. She'd been there, of course, but she's felt odd. Detached. Like herself, but not...*
"Oh, this is too weird," *she said, slightly overwhelmed.*

*Held her in a comforting embrace, feeling once again that pecular feeling that had come upon him at the party--the heavy feeling on his chest*
"I apologized...for taking your life. It was your time to die, but I did not want to...but I had to. I..."
*For the first time in ages, tears fell from his eyes. He practically buried his face in her hair*
"I'm so sorry."
