"This..." Marluxia lifted Larxene's head a little bit closer to his. Then, closing his eyes, leaned in and placed his lips on hers with passion.

"!" Larxene was caught by surprise in spite of herself, but leaned in a little to kiss Marluxia back, holding herself there for a good long while.

At length, she finally broke back, smiling at Marluxia.

"Are you seriously telling me you never kissed a girl as a human, or was that just to keep the moment dramatic?" She teased, blushing even as she grinned.

"Never before." Marluxia said, shaking his head. "I have come close a few times, but it never really ended well. Of what I remember anyway."
Marluxia chuckled, then looked at Larxene with a gental smile. "I remember having a few crushes on girls before, but this, with you, is...much more than that."

"I guess I can sorta see you as the kind of guy who'd take it slow most of the time..." Larxene admitted, nodding slowly.

"I guess that's another extraordinary circumstance Namine's brought about recently..." Larxene smiled.

"Still, you weren't nervous about kissing me like that, were you? We were basically planning to elope with Namine in tow anyway." She said, kissing Marluxia on the cheek.

"Of course I was." Marluxia chuckled. "Besides it being my first, I also worried about how you would react. I hessiated about it at first, but just relaxed and did it. What about you? How did you feel?"

"I felt...good." Larxene said, smiling at Marluxia. "I'll be honest with you, it wasn't my first kiss...but it felt good, like it was right in some way." She giggled a little.

"It was at least the kiss I've liked best of the ones I've had so far, 'cept maybe from Namine a few minutes ago." She said.

"Awh! Did she save any kissed for me?" Marluxia cooed as he gave Namine one on her nose, which made her giggle. "Teehee! Daddyyy!"

"I don't know. Maybe if I ask her..." Larxene chuckled, smiling at Namine.

"Well, sweetie? Do you think you have a kiss for Daddy?" She cooed.

"Uh-huh!" Namine nodded, then kissed Marluxia on the cheek.
"Thank you, sweetie." Marluxia said as he hugged Namine.
"Hey, Larx. Something just slipped my mind. Has the last side effect Vexen mentioned happen yet?"

Larxene blinked, trying to go over the list in her head.

"Um...odd, I thought we went through them all...but I can't remember, what was the last one again?" She asked, looking at Marluxia worriedly.

"It was....." Marluxia tried his best to remember what it was, tapping his chin. "Umm.......oh! It was suppose to be diahrea

Larxene frowned.

"Oh, crap...no, we haven't had that one yet...darn, I was really hoping we were done with all that." Sighing, Larxene gave Namine a little squeeze.

"I guess our little princess is going to be going through a lot of diapers soon..." She said, shaking her head. "At least I've gotten good at changing her."

"Have you now?" Marluxia asked, slightly amused at hearing that. "Guess that's a good thing, since I never changed one once."

"I'm sure we'll come up with some daddy-only job to keep you happy soon enough." Larxene teased, sticking out her tongue at Marluxia before turning her attention to Namine.

"'Till then, I'll have to keep a watch for when things start to get stinky, huh, Princess?" She cooed, rubbing Namine's tummy a little.

It really was an odd sight seeing Larxene being so genuinely affectionate, but she looked happier cuddling the regressed Namine than she ever had tormenting people with her lightning. Perhaps it was a result of the happiness being more genuinely felt?

"Mama. Tummy." Namine giggled, placing her hand on Larxene's.
"Seems her intellegence haven't changed at all." Marluxia chuckled.

Larxene giggled, feeling a little warm.

"It's cute when she's smart in baby mode, though." She said, kissing Namine on the cheek. "I'm sure she'll be a little chatterbox in less than a year."

"She kinda already is now, actually." Marluxia said with a smile. "I mean, you don't need to know how to talk to be an actual chatterbox, you just need to make alot of noise, even though no one can understand you."

"Yeah, I guess that's true..." Larxene shrugged.

"I guess I meant she'll probably be talking all the time once she has words to actually talk with." She tickled Namine a little. "She was so quiet before she got regressed, but ever since then she's been a lot less afraid to make noise. She's nowhere near as shy as she used to be..."

"I know." Marluxia said, smiling when he heard Namine squeel. "It feels weird to hear her suddenly making so much noise now, yet it also feels as if she was suppose to be like this. You get what I mean?"

Larxene nodded.

"Maybe she wouldn't have been this afraid to speak if we'd been nicer to her earlier..." She said quietly.

Now that she was feeling things, some guilt was creeping in. She'd been pretty nasty to Namine at times, and reveled in the girl being so scared of her. Was it any surprise Namine was so timid and quiet around her before they got to start over again?

"Now that you mention it, we have done some mean and unfair things to her in the past." Marluxia said quietly. "At least she doesn't remember that we actually did those things to her, right?"

"I hope not..." Larxene looked at Namine. "I don't think she'd be able to laugh and play with us so easily if she did, even a little. This is like a chance to start over, but with our actual feelings." Larxene brushed a hair out of Namine's face.

"If she is in there somewhere...I hope she knows we're sorry." She said quietly.

Marluxia nodded, but then something suddenly came to his mind. Something that bothered him. "If we're gonna keep Namine like this, wouldn't that be technically killing the original one. I mean, I'm happy that she's like this now, but it's also unfair that the old Namine had to have her mind wiped clean from her head. Maybe it's still floating around in there somewhere."

"You've got a point..." Larxene looked at the big baby in her arms uncertainly.

"But if we bring back the old Namine, wouldn't that be killing this one...?" She asked worriedly. She shook her head.

"This is really shaky ground we're in now. We could just as easily say this is the same Namine with Amnesia as an entirely new person, couldn't we?" She asked.

Identity was a tricky thing for Nobodies. Since everything they used to act human was memory-based, Larxene was aware that the type of memories being called upon would affect behavior. Still, Larxene wondered if this was just an excuse so she didn't have to have any moral quandaries about keeping Namine as her baby...

"I dunno." Marluxia said, uncertain of himself. "I guess we could say that, but...it'll still be confusing to me either way. Sure, we could pretend this is still technically the normal Namine, but....I'm not sure what else to say..."

Larxene looked down at Namine pensively.

"...Maybe it's best if we don't think about it...let the memories and Namine's personality flow where they will." Larxene looked at Marluxia.

"I have no idea if the replica Namine could restore Namine's memories or what would happen if she did. But until we're in any position to get some answers and maybe do something about it, it's enough that she's our baby right now. At least, it is for me." She said, hugging Namine tightly.

"You do have a point." Marluxia nodded. "Yeah...let's not worry about it until we need to."
Namine then suddenly yipped in pain as a hot, almost liquidly mess began to fill the seat of her diaper, Namine whimpering alittle once it was done. It took no longer than two seconds for Marluxia to find out what happened. "I believe the last side-effect has started."

"Ooh, that sounded like it wasn't pleasant..." Larxene said worriedly, giving Namine a reassuring squeeze and a kiss before quickly picking her up and heading for the changing pad. She didn't want to leave Namine in that mess any longer than she had to; after all the side effects Namine had endured, diaper rash was not something she or her caretakers needed.

"Let's get you outta this diapie, honey..." Larxene said gently, opening Namine's diaper up so she could clean up her big baby.

"Uh-huh." Namine cooed with teary eyes, nodding as well as she patiently waited to be changed completely. During it, she batted at the thread from Larxene's coat every time they got into her reach, giggling happily each time.

Larxene smiled lovingly down at Namine as she wiped away the smelly, almost liquid mess and gently rubbed in oil and baby powder to soothe Namine's privates. When that was done, Larxene lifted Namine's legs a little to get her seated comfortably on a slightly bulkier diaper, taping her baby up snugly before scooping her up again and showering the big baby girl with kisses.

"Does Mommy's li'l princess feel better in a clean diapie?" She cooed.

Namine laughed blissfully from the way Larxene's voice sounded, a chuckle also escaping from Marluxia's lips from behind also.
"I need to do that more often." he then said. "I mean, you can't hog ALL of the love."

Larxene chuckled, doing a little twirl with Namine.

"You should, Marly." She agreed. "It makes Namine happy, and it gives you a nice warm feeling in your chest..."

Hearts really were amazing. Earlier, Larxene had the maternal instincts of a block of wood, but now...

"Let me see, then." Marluxia said as he stood up and gentally brought Namine into his arms, then laying her on the bed. He flipped Namine's shirt up, then bent down and blew on her belly, making her squeel loudly in delight.

Larxene giggled a little, both at the sight of the two of them interacting and simply because of the sound of Namine's squeals and giggles.

"Well, I think it's safe to say she likes it when you do that!" She chuckled.

Marluxia nodded at Larxene. Namine enjoyed Marluxia's action so much that she actually whinned when he stopped, but he wasn't finished just yet. He once again breathed in deeply and blew on Namine's belly.
"You come try this, Larx." he said afterwards.

"I'm not sure I should. It sounds like you're a tough act to follow!" Larxene joked, but she walked over.

That had actually looked way too fun for her not to want to try it, so Larxene took a deep breath and took her turn blowing on Namine's belly the way she'd seen Marluxia do it.

Namine squeeled just as loudly when Marluxia did this, but was slightly more tickling, now beginning to kick her feet wildly.

Larxene giggled at Namine's ecstatic reaction.

"Maybe my electric current makes that tickle more when I do it." She chuckled. Who knew it had uses besides hurting people?

"Perhaps. It tickles a little when you shock me." Marluxia said, flirting with Larxene. "You seem to give off tiny sparks from your skin when you get excited. And with other feelings as well, it sometimes seems."

"Passive current. All humans have one, but mine's about thirty times as potent." Larxene said, nodding. "I hadn't noticed it responding to my emotions...then again, I didn't really feel much before all this..."
