The Hybrid's Sons

Epilogue

I hear faint giggles as I begin to wake up, it feels as if their is a small weight on my chest and feathers circling my whole head and making my nose twitch. I reach my hand up to brush away the offending objects that woke me up from my sleep, only for my hand to get caught in something. I open my eyes to see my hands tangled up in someone's hair. The giggling starts up again, and finally I am able to concentrate on the face right in front of mine.

Laney is smiling down at me, her smile more radiant than the sun in its best days. Her eyes seem like two blue crystals and her cheeks are just a little bit rosy. She looks beautiful, so much more different than how she looked in my vision, or dream. I'm still not sure what it was.

“Fitz! Wake up! I want to go play with you.” Laney giggles as she jumps up and down on my chest. She isn't acting as if she has been in captivity for the past month, she seems like she does any other day. She is beautiful and strong. Not even the strongest person in the world would be acting like she is. She has bounced back, and I know that she doesn't dwell on the days.

After we had gotten Laney back we were all tense, we didn't know how she was going to act, we didn't know what she was going to do. We were lost. She was lost. But we soon realized that we all just needed each other to find ourselves again.

Dad realized that none of this was his fault, I realized that Laney never once thought that I was the one who got her kidnapped, and Daddy had his new pups, and no one has hard feelings about the cute little twerps. Of course they cry and poop and smell all the time, but when one of them sends a smile your way, you know that if they are still innocents in this world, that everything will work out.

“Alright, where is Finn? Do you think he wants to play with us too?” I ask Laney as I crawl out of the bed and run after her. Laney giggles as she shrugs her shoulders and continues to run to wherever she wants to play.

Finn and I have been going great, we have both graduated, and are speaking of getting married and maybe starting our own family. Of course we are only eighteen and know that we aren't ready to have kids yet, while we are still trying to find ourselves. We found out we were in fact mates when we asked Daddy, he said that they have know for a long time, and that they were just waiting for us to catch up with the rest of them. We all had a nice laugh and since then nothing has been able to tear Finn and I apart.

When I find Laney she is already knee deep with playing in some of her toys, so I just sit to the side and watch her, knowing that this is something I won't ever take for granted ever again. Eventually Finn finds us, and he sits down next to the both of us. I smile at him and give him a chaste kiss, one to express our love. Finn smiles back at me before looking back over at Laney.

I look at the side of his face for a while. We started out just as The Hybrid’s Sons, but now, we are lovers, mates.

And I could ask for anything more
