Aphmau pov:
I woke up in bed. I looked around the room and it looked like it was about 12:00 at night. I looked beside me and Garroth wasn't there. I got out of bed, went downstairs and saw Garroth looking out the window. "Why did you wake up?"
"I wasn't tired I guess."
"Are you okay?"
"Uh. Ya I'm fine."
I walked over to him, he put his arm around me.
"You know I love you more then anything, right?"
"I do know you love me and I love you to."
I looked at him and he looked at me. He pulled me closer and we kissed. When we let go he grabbed my hand and we went out the door. I was confused. What was he was doing.
"Where are you taking me?"
"To the plaza."
"Why?"
"You'll see."
He looked back at me and smiled, that amazing smile of his. When we made it down to the plaza there were fairy lights hanging up. The fairy lights were twinkling like the stars in the night sky.

Garroth pov:
Yesterday night I asked Zoey if she could decorate the plaza with fairy lights.
"Wow."
"Do you like it, I  asked Zoey if she could do this."
"Why?"
"So me and you could have a midnight dance."
She looked at me and smiled. "But I'm wearing my kigurumi." "But you still look as pretty as the day I met you."
"So you're saying I look more pretty in a kigurumi?"
I laughed then she laughed.

After laughing for a couple seconds I grabbed Aphmau by the waist and she put her arms around my neck. We started to dance. I looked into her sparkling hazel eyes and smiled. "Why are you smiling?"
"I'm smiling at your beauty."
She started to blush.

Aphmau pov:
I woke up in Garroths arms and yawned. I looked up at him and smiled. I got out of bed and slowly made my way down the stairs. When I got downstairs I made cereal for Garroth and myself, when I heard a cry. I looked around the room and there was no one there. Then I heard it again. I looked at the door and slowly walked towards it. It creaked open and I saw a baby in a basket. It had a note attached to it.

"Please take care of my baby Levin. I am not able to care for him. Please treat him kindly and promise to always to be there for him.

Sincerely
Levins Mom"

I looked down at the small giggling baby and smiled.
"Dont worry Levin, I will watch over you."
I walked up the stairs with Levin and walked into Garroth's bedroom. When I opened the door I saw Garroth getting his armour on. He looked at me then the baby. He jumped.
"Aphmau I don't remember anything about this."
"Don't be silly Garroth, I found him at our door step."
Garroth took a deep breath of relief. He walked over to Levin and he took the baby out of my arms. He started swaying him back and forth. I didn't realize until now, but Levin looks almost identical to Garroth.
"Your an amazing father."
"Why thank you very much."
I giggled.
"Hey where will this little one sleep?"
"Don't worry I will buy a crib from Zoey."
"What about when he is older?" "This room is large enough to spilt in half."
"That could work."

I walked down to the plaza to Zoeys merchant stand.
"Can I please have one baby
crib."
"Wow you guys work fast huh."
"Zoey that's not funny, we found a baby at our door step this morning."
"Really? Sorry I didn't know, hey if you want I can always babysit if you like."
"Thank you. That would be very helpful."
"Here, have the crib."
She gave me a box with the crib inside.
"How much will it be?"
"No need to pay Lord Aphmau." "Did you just call me LORD!?" Zoey nodded her head.
"Ya, you've done so much for the village and a lot of people think you should be Lord."
I waved bye and made my way up the path to the house. I opened the door and when I got in Garroth quickly grabbed the box from my hands.
"Are you okay? I could of got the crib so you don't have to carry it up."
"But you and Levin were having Father bonding time."
"Ya but Levin needs to have mother bonding time as well."

Garroth pov:
I assembled the crib in our room and Levin fell in sleep in no time. I walked down stairs and sat down on the couch next to Aphmau.
"People are starting to call me Lord around the village and I don't know what to do."
"What do you mean you don't know what to do. You would be an amazing Lord. You've done so much for the village already."
"I guess your right."
"This doesn't happen very often." She laughed.
"Fine I will be Lord on one condition."
"And what's that."
"You be my personal guard."
