A/N: Okay! I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like the reunion scene was too short. I really loved the game but it needs a little more... emotion especially on scenes like these. IT WAS TOO SHOOOORTT! And thus, this fanfiction was born!


Reunion

(Bianca's POV)

The spell was broken.

Slowly, the stone layer on my skin faded, leaving behind the pale, milky white skin I had. I regained the feeling in my fingers as well as most parts of my body. Finally after so many years, I was able to move! I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing to attack my line of vision, was a very blinding white light.

I had forgotten how it felt like, to open your eyes to the beautiful rays of sunlight. Truthfully, it stung quite a bit. But I suppose it was to be expected, after being turned to stone for such a long time. The bright light eventually receded and the first thing that my gaze fell upon was the familiar sight of my husband, Eldrick.

He looked exactly the same as he did back then. He still wore the same white robes and purple cape, as well as that silly turban. He was still that goofy and cute guy I fell in love with.

"Hi." he said and he gave me his trademark smile that only he could pull off and extended his arms out to me.

He didn't need to say it. I instantly jumped into his arms and hugged him tight. I don't know how long I had been stuck as a statue, but I didn't care. I was in my husband's arms again. Safe, warm, happy, contented, and loved. I couldn't say anything. I only buried my head further into his shoulders as my tears gathered and threatened to fall from my eyes. Every memory I had of him replayed inside my mind which only made my grip on him tighter. I was so happy. I was finally back in his arms.

"Shh... don't cry..." Eldrick said gently as he pulled me closer to him.

I didn't know that I was already crying. But I wasn't ashamed. Nor did I try to stop my tears from falling. No. I let them flow freely as I inhaled my husband's scent. I've almost forgotten how he smelled like. How it felt to have him so near.

"Welcome back" Eldrick whispered.

I slowly lifted my head up to look at him. His kind eyes met mine and I gave him a teary smile. A few teardrops rolled down my cheeks as I did so and I let out a small shaky laugh.

"It's good to be back..." I whisper back. He hugged me again and I didn't hesitate to pull him close and bury my face into his neck. I closed my eyes in content. Nothing could be better than this.

When I opened my eyes, however, I caught sight of two children staring at us.

I felt my breath hitch and my heart leap up my throat. Could it be...?

Eldrick seemed to notice that I was no longer focused on our hug. He looked at me and the direction in which I was staring at and he gave me a small smile. He draped his arms around me and said, "Go on..."

I slowly took a step forward. But I had to stop there. The kids took a step back and looked at Eldrick. It looked as though they were asking him for help. It hurt me to see those two so afraid me. I took another tentative step forward and I was relieved to see them stand their ground.

Just like how Eldrick welcomed me, I knelt down so I could at least be at their level and extended my arms out to them.

The kids looked at Eldrick for a moment and after seeing him nod, they immediately ran towards me and tackled me in a hug of their own. Tears once again formed in my eyes as I felt the warmth of my children's embrace. I felt them nuzzle their faces into my neck as they cried into it. It's been so long. The last time I saw them was when they were still newborns. I couldn't believe I missed out on so much of their lives.

Their grip on me tightened as though they expected me to disappear at any moment. It must have been hard on them, never truly knowing their parents. I draped my arms around the both of them and pulled them closer. I planted a kiss on each of their blonde heads as more tears continued to pour, from both me and my children.

I tried making small shushing sounds to calm them and rubbed small circles on their backs.

"Shh... Shh... Mommy's... m-mommy's not going anywhere kids..." I said shakily. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I've missed out on so much. I didn't even know what my own children were like. I hated the demon that waged war upon us. I hated him for tearing our family apart. My own children never experienced the love I promised to give them all those years ago. I never got to see their firsts. To see them crawl... to see their first steps... their first words... their first birthday...

Everything that could have been...

"I'm... I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry I was gone for so long..." I said as I tightened my grip on them. "I'm sorry..."

From my left, I heard my little girl, Tabitha, say, "I-It wasn't your fault mom... Nanny t-told me that you let yourself be taken just so you c-could save us... You didn't hesitate at all..."

My son who had his face buried on my other side said, "Y-Yeah... you did a-all you could. But y-you're here now and that's w-what matters... right?"

My eyes widened at what they said. They couldn't have been more older that ten. Even the way those words were said still had a trace of child-like innocence. But it felt much more older and more serious for children of their age. Nevertheless, it eased my worries.

They didn't think that I was a horrible mother. Even if I wasn't with them for ten long years, they still loved me.

More tears started to fall from my eyes as I let out a shaky laugh. I pulled them into a hug again, only this time all of us were smiling. It almost felt like being turned into a stone statue for ten years was worth it.

I pulled out of the hug and took the chance to study them.

They both grew into fine young kids. Rex, my son, seemed to resemble his father more. His blonde hair that I passed onto him was messy and it stuck out at different directions. Truth be told, it reminded me of his grandfather's hair. Pankraz always wore it like that, complete with the messy ponytail. Still, I might persuade him to cut it off sometime later. It might look good on his father and even his grandfather but no child of mine, who's barely reached the height my shoulder blades, would be allowed to have long hair. It seemed like Gotha men had a tendency to have their hair naturally messy.

My daughter Tabitha, resembled his brother a lot. Well, they were twins. But when I look closer, she seemed to have taken after me. The shape and shade of her eyes, her button nose... that smile. It was all mine. A small giggle escaped from me when I saw that she wore ribbons, like I did when I was a child.

I smiled widely at the both of them and stroked their faces gently with my hands.

"Aw... look at you... You've grown so much..."

"Didn't they?" I heard Eldrick's voice from behind me. He walked up to us and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and met his eyes. He gave me that smile of his again and I smile back. Finally we were complete again.

"Shall we go home?" Eldrick asked.

I nodded at him and took the kids by the hand. Eldrick took our son's hand in his and swapped places with him so that we were both standing next to each other. He draped his arm around my shoulder and we started our walk.

I had my loving husband and my adorable and wonderful children with me again.

What more could I possibly want?


A/N: hEYA! Listen people, if you want me to continue this story, then tell me. I've played the game a long time ago but I didn't have the energy to write this until now. If no one reviews and tells me to continue this, then this remains as a one-shot.
