Just Us

Epilogue

A few years passed, and Pia has some exciting news. She was pregnant with her first child.

Adalie was very excited to have someone to play with, even though she would technically be the aunt. It was like having another sibling.

Ada and Sherry were the first to know the news. Pia wanted to surprise Vinícius with the news, so she planned a picnic, much like they had done on their first date.

Life had been kind to all of them since Vinícius had found them. She was accepted as queen, the land was prosperous, Ada was growing big and strong. Everything was good.

Sherry had bought a onesie that said baby demon on it that Pia wrapped up nicely. She couldn't wait to tell him.

Later that evening, she and Vinícius were snacking quietly, listening to the noise of the garden.

"Is something on your mind, sweetheart?" Vinícius asked with a small frown.

"I was afraid if I opened my mouth is spill the news," Pia giggled, reaching around her to reveal the small gift.

"You're such a troublemaker," Vinícius teased. "What's this?" He shook the box aggressively.

"Vinícius, just open it. I've been waiting to tell you all day."

"That's not my problem, baby," he grinned, pulling the ribbon extra slow.

Pia huffed.

When he finally got the package open, he was shocked.

"We're having a baby?" he asked, joy filling his entire being. He couldn't believe this.

"Yes, a little Vinícius growing in my belly," she smiled lovingly.

"Or a little Pia. Or worse, a baby Ada," Vinícius chuckled. Adalie was a hyper ball of boundless energy. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, and I can't wait to have this baby with you."

Vinícius kissed her softly. He couldn't believe his family was growing.

"Now, Ada and Sherry have been working on a cake for us, if you are done eating?"

"Do we really want to eat a cake from Ada? Do you remember what happened last time she baked a cake?"

"Vinícius, you were the one that actually ate the frog legs!" Pia laughed.

"I love Adalie, and I'm so proud of her attempting to bake because I can't do it, but that was just nasty."

"This time Sherry is supervising and it'll be much better."

Vinícius was not convinced.

A few months later, they welcomed a baby boy to the world. They named him Arne Wes.

Pia, Vinícius, Adalie and Arne could not wait to see what else life had in store for them.
