Celeste Caelum has always been a daddy's girl.

She had known from the moment Noctis had first held her in his arms five years ago, just after she had given birth.

Not that she really minded. She loved to watch her husband and daughter together. They were so carefree whenever they were in each other's presence. She couldn't help but to smile whenever she saw them together. Which was honestly a rare occurrence to see, considering he spent most of his time ruling the country.

But he would always make time for Celeste in some form of way. Whether it was playing with her in the garden after lunch or reading her a bedtime story.

It was clearly obvious to her that Celeste was his little girl and he would always remain protective of her. As their daughter grew older from the small child that thought boys and kissing were gross no matter how many times she heard about it in bedtimes stories. To a beautiful young woman who began to be interested in dating and someday getting married to a man that she loved.

She could almost foresee herself lecturing her husband about not scaring away their daughter's possible suitors or physically testing them in some form of way.

Making sure that they were good enough a candidate for their daughter. Someone who genuinely loved her and not because they could someday rule the region. She didn't want Celeste to end up in that type of relationship.

Although she knows that Noctis wished that Celeste would remain little girl forever and never grow up, it was only natural for her to grow up. She supposes his reason was that he didn't have to worry about someone coming along to take her away from him, even if it was a natural thing to growing up.

She studied her husband as he sat on the edge of their daughter's large bed, as she leaned against the doorframe. From her husband's soft tones, she could tell that Celeste had managed to convince him to tell her a bedtime story.

Sleeping Beauty from the sounds of it. She had come just in time to hear the ending of the fairytale. The Prince was waking up Aurora from her coma like sleep. The result of a curse from an evil fairy.

She noticed him pressing a light kiss to Celeste's forehead, against those dark locks that she had obviously inherited from her father. She watched Celeste stir under her father's touch and moved to pull her Moogle looking stuffed animal closer to her body. It would probably end up on the floor sometime before morning came.

She smiled as she watched her husband walking closer to her. His lips curled into a soft smile as his sapphire blue eyes met hers.

"You know, she has you wrapped around her finger," she teased lightly as he wrapped his arms around her.

He smirked at the comment and moved to kiss her lightly on the lips. "Well, she is one of the females who has my heart."

"Oh and who is the other?" she teased as her lips curled upwards into a smile as they met his lips in a kiss.

"I think you know who she is," he commented, causing Stella to smile brightly as she moved towards their bedroom.

"You know one day you have to let her grow up,' she commented. "One day she will find a boyfriend and someday even get married."

"Don't remind me," he remarked, causing her to giggle before moving to open their bedroom door. "I think I'm going to have to scare away her suitors."

- The end.
