Prologue

"Jack…Vina…" A mother shouted after her two children, they were always excited when their father came home from his adventures. She would have been with him if she wasn't pregnant with their third child; she shook her head as she tried to walk over to them. She wasn't that far along yet but she was still showing the round pooch. She smiled warmly as Jack and Vina were picked up into the arms of their father. She smiled as she made her way to her husband, Vyse…captain, Blue Rogue, and the hero of Arcadia. She smiled warmly as her eyes met with the deep chocolate of her husband's. "Welcome home…"

"It's good to be home," Vyse said with a smile as he put his two children down and kissed his wife tenderly. Of course, their seven year old son and five year old daughter were making noises about their parent's public display of affection. The two pulled apart and laughed at their children's antics. They just wanted their father's attention and save none for their mother. "Alright you two! I hope you didn't cause your mother trouble while I was gone."

"No," Jack said with a pout. "We were nice to mommy!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Vina cheered and Vyse looked over to Fina as she laughed.

"What do you think mommy," Vyse asked with a pout and Fina just laughed more.

"Come you three," Fina said with a smile. "It's time we get all three of you washed up. Off you go to the bath!"

"Awwww…" Jack and Vina whined. Vyse joined in with the whining and pouting as Fina rolled her eyes.

"Such babies I have," Fina said as she walked off as Vyse quickly motioned the children to follow their mother's orders. Fina slowly walked off to the front of the island to look up to the night sky, Vyse quickly followed after his wife. She stood there looking up to the sky as she felt her husband wrap his arms around her waist from behind. "So my oldest baby has come to join me instead of taking his bath."

"I'll bathe if you come with me," Vyse whispered into her ear. Fina laughed warmly, "Is that a yes?"

"Such a mischievous husband I have," Fina said with a warm smile. "I think you should settle down and take your bath before I throw you into one."

"Such a violent wife I have," Vyse said in a mock hurt tone. "I don't remember you ever being this rough in your speech even when pregnant with the other two."

Fina laughed, "You know you love me."

"I've been in love with you for what is it…ten years or so," Vyse kissed her cheek softly.

"So you've only been in love with me for the years we have been married," Fina pouted and Vyse rubbed her stomach.

"No, I've been in love with you since the first day I saw you," Vyse whispered into her ear. "But being young doesn't mean we are always brilliant when it comes to the matters of the heart. Besides, we went on plenty of adventures before we had Jack."

"I just wish Drachma could have seen him," Fina said sadly. "But he is with his Jack now, and that's all that matters."

"I'm glad he was able to find his true peace," Vyse said warmly. "So what did you do while I was gone?"

Fina smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder, he had grown taller which was a rather good thing. "Remembering everything before today…especially since tomorrow is the anniversary party."

Vyse nodded and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "Which anniversary party comes to mind?"

"The one when we were nineteen," Fina replied. "That's really the last one we celebrated the death of an old friend…"

"Yes, because now we celebrate his rebirth," Vyse said warmly. "It's also when we found about Clara."

"The engagement of a bounty hunter and free medical service doctor," Fina added.

Vyse chuckled, "That year was the start of many things, and the spark of a new adventure."

"Yes, the year you also told me that you loved me," Fina said looking up to her husband. She pulled his eye goggle off of his face. So she could see his chocolate brown eyes without anything in the way, "To think it had to take such a thing to get not only us together but many of the others as well."

Vyse just kissed his wife's forehead, "Well sometimes it takes something drastic in order for us to see the brighter side of things."

"Yeah, skimpy clothing," Fina arched her brow and Vyse felt as if he was suddenly under pressure and sweating in his boots. He just put on his nervous smile as his wife kissed his lips softly. "Apparently you men tend to think with your lower brain…"

"I think you've been around Aika too much," Vyse groaned.

Fina giggled, "Well, she does have a husband of her own as well. So I can't complain about getting me a handsome captain."

"Are you going to rub in that Aika got married before we did," Vyse frowned.

Fina nodded, "Always….that is the duty of a wife."

Vyse shook his head, "I think it's time for that bath."

"I need to tuck in the children and hope they will get some sleep," Fina said as they walked down hand in hand. "They are excited about tomorrow."

"So are we," Vyse said with his dashing smile.

Fina nodded her head, "I remember that year just like it was yesterday…"
