~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been hours since the ceremony ended. With the exception of Farryn's family and Polaris' family, all the changeling clans had left the Crescent Reef. Currently, we all were enjoying dinner together, talking and laughing as we did. I loved watching everyone's happy faces and the atmosphere was so joyous.

I glanced over at the twins and noticed that Marcellus was eating quietly, while Catryn seemed lost in thought. She was sitting across from Slater and looking at him intently. She seemed to be really curious about him. Slater was watching Catryn as well and his tail swayed once in a while.

"She seems so curious about Slater. It's adorable," Rosanna told me.

"I was curious too," I smiled.

"Did Farryn have a tail like Slater at that point?"

"She didn't... I can only assume it's a trait from his father's side. But still adorable..." I replied.

"There's so much magic and peace in this place..." Rosanna said tenderly. "I really love it here."

I looked at Rosanna lovingly. I took her hand in mine, and laced our fingers.

"Maybe we can come back more often. Just us," I offered.

"I'd like that. But we'll be back here again in a few years anyway." Rosanna touched her stomach affectionately.

I gave her a huge grin. "Should we slow down?"

She laughed. "Well we both wanted a big family. I want one more after this one. Provided I'm not having twins," she reminded me. "After I give you four beautiful children, we can stop. But I still want four."

I leaned over and kissed her deeply. "Still only four?" I asked as my eyes grew dark with lust.

"Still four," she assured me before kissing me tenderly. I didn't mind. Four children was enough for me too. It was a perfect number. "By the way...I've been meaning to tell you something," Rosanna told me.

She guided my hand to rest on her stomach. My instant reaction was concern, and I gave her a wary look. "What is it? Is something wrong with the baby?"

Then, I felt the baby kick against Rosanna's stomach.

"You should get another Prince's crown made..." Rosanna admitted.

I didn't understand what she meant at first. Why would I need another Prince's crown made? Then it dawned on me as another soft kick came from her stomach. She was having another boy. My eyes widened in realization.

"A second son...?!"

Rosanna nodded with a smile on her face. "But don't tell the twins yet," she told me softly. "Catryn will be devastated. Poor little raindrop has been asking for a sister for weeks now and Marcel will never let her hear the end of it."

I chuckled.

"I found out before we left Blackwater," Rosanna stated. "We're having a boy Cyris... another little Prince."

I gave her a kiss, then pressed my forehead to hers, and she smiled. "I'm beyond pleased. Although, I find myself a bit disappointed as well. I really thought it would be a girl," I confessed.

"Maybe the next one will be," Rosanna told me. "Provided this little warrior isn't shielding a Princess like Marcel was with Catryn, I want one more after this baby."

"We'll see, won't we," I told her, and grinned.

"We will. And if this little Prince turns out to be as handsome as his father, he's going to break a lot of hearts when he's older." She smiled.
