Eugene and Rapunzel's family

Children

God I love her. I love her so much and I won't ever stop. Every time I see her the same thing happen. I get lost in her beauty. The way she is always glowing. The way she is... herself. The one and only Rapunzel. I've never met anyone even close to her greatness. And I still can't believe, after four years of happily wedded life, that she loves me back. I am such a lucky man for someone as amazing as her to love me.

Her who is the kindest person in the world. When she gets out around Corona her smile doesn't live her. She instantly makes people happy. She cheerfully says hello. Gives a handshake or two. And the way she is with children. She loves children. Probably more than everything. After me, of course. Every time she sees one I can see her face lightening up and her smile getting wider.

When she sees a little girl, she comes to her and says something like: "You're so beautiful! Soon every man in this kingdom might fall for you. I'm sure my husband right there agrees with me." Then she would look at me and grin playfully. Of course, I would get in the game. I smile and come to the girl. "Yes! Such a beauty!" I would say before taking the child into my arms before the happy face of her mother. "I've got to say, if I weren't married already I'd probably ask you to marry me, my Lady." I would be answered by a cute giggle and a blushing little girl. In those cases I am never able to repress a smile. I guess we both love children.

She puts on the same kind of show with boys. "Hey! Are you sure you are not a prince?" She would ask. "Because you look as fierce as a lion, as strong as a dragon, and you are one handsome boy aren't you?" The boy usually reacts by standing straighter and bumping his chest with pride. That is extremely cute. Ok, I am up posed to be a manly man who doesn't find things or people cute but... Children really are cute. And amazing. I love how their eyes lighten up with curiosity, how they can be happy with anything and the way they are able to make a toy out of everything. That's it I said it. I love kids, I find them fascinating.

Good thing, because my beloved wife does too.

Then, why? Are you wondering. Why is it that Rapunzel and I never had any children in four years of marriage? That's a good question. I can't say we actually tried. But you know, we didn't not try either. I mean, let's say that when two people who love each other a lot do some things, it might end with a baby. Especially when they love each other THAT much... Okay. Moving on.

So, we tried without really trying. We never expected any, but if there was one to come we would love it and want it right a way. Still, I'm grateful we didn't have one right after getting married. We would have been to young and we both still had to readjust to our new lives as a prince, not Flinn Rider the thief, and as a princess, not a girl with magic hair locked in a tower who doesn't know anything about the world. But it had been more than four years. Now would be a good time right? I am completely clear and a pretty good prince and husband. Rapunzelis a normal young woman. I mean extraordinary and amazing, but still more normal than before. I don't like normal anyway.

I am twenty four, she is twenty two. Good ages no?...

Maybe I should have a little talk about this with her before I ask myself all those questions. I've been sitting in the castle's garden for hours now, wondering about my present and future. About what I want. I know that I want Rapunzel. Good, I have her. I know that I want the family I never had. Well, Rapunzel and her parents are my family. But it is still missing. That little thing I need to be fully, completely happy.

A baby.

That's it. I know what I want. I want a baby. At that thought I get up from that bench and head to Rapunzel and I's apartments. After climbing up those way to numerous stairs I stop in front of the door. I hope she is in there or all my determination will fly away as fast as it came. I take my courage with both hands and open the doors. I stepp in and close them behind me. I breathe in and look up to find my beautiful and lovely wife sitting on our bed. I walk to her.

"Hey" I say.

"Hey" she answer with a wicked smile. I smile back.

"What makes the love of my life so happy?" I aske with a grin. "Or maybe it's just me" I add playfully.

She puts her hand on mine. "It is actually. Kind of." She looks up at me and stares deep into my eyes. Both our smiles got wider. "Eugene..." She grabs my hand and place it gently on her belly. My eyes widen. "I am pregnant wi-" her sentence is cut by my lips on hers. I break apart so I can hug her. She chuckles and pushes me away gently. I look at her in surprise.

"That's not all" she adds with a smile ever bigger than before. "You should really learn to let me finish my senten-"

"What is it?" I cut her in excitement. She laughs again.

"I'm pregnant with twins." she finally concludes.

I froze for a moment. I feel my heart warming up as her words sink into me. I can't believe this. My smile gets wider if possible before I take her into my arms and lift her up as I stand up.

"I love you so much" I say in a thankful voice.

I lift her off her feet and swing her around. "I love you so much!" I yell. We both laugh. Lightly at first but soon we burst into crazy laughter of happiness. "I love you too" she answers between breaths.

"We are going to have two babies!"
