Chapter 1: Cordelia :- Our Daughter
The battle against the brigands went smoothly as they had dispatched the head, Nelson, without much trouble. His army fell apart immediately after his demise, followed by cheers by many whom gladly dropped their arms and thanked the Shepherds instead.
Robin hummed in satisfaction over their victory. In his books, a battle without losing any comrades is a battle won. He left Chrom to handle the songs of praise the villagers had for them as he went looking for his wife whom he had stationed on the outside (with her flying mount unable to be of use indoors, they had no other choice despite her worries of him joining the heat of the battle without her). It came to a surprise for him when he did find Cordelia, his wife had her arms wrapped around another girl, embracing her in an affectionate manner.
"Cordelia? Dear?" Robin was not quite sure what was happening but when he stepped into view he was greeted by his wife's wide smile, a certain sparkle in her eyes as she loosened her embrace on the smaller girl.
"Robin! Oh I am so glad you are alright!" Cordelia moved closer and embraced him affectionately to which he gladly returned.
"So I assume everything is alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" Robin gave a quick look up and down, assessing his wife's delicate features. After a year being married Robin had turned into a complete worrywart over his wife's wellbeing, constantly fussing over this and that. He nearly had a heart attack once when she had fallen of her Pegasi in a mock battle and had forbid her from moving even an inch after that despite having only a minor bruise on her hip (and pride).
"No dear I am fine. Well, more than fine actually." She giggled at her husband's usual antics but her voice had a certain mirth to it this time. Cordelia nuzzled her head on her husband's neck, happily showing her love for him as he mumbled on about getting Lissa to check up on her later.
"…Blergh…" The stranger made a disgusted look as she turned away, not wanting to watch the public display of affection.
Robin had almost forgotten about the other girl, his brain quickly registering the fact that the twin-tailed girl was still standing close to them and not moving. "Ah my apologies, this must have been err…, awkward to watch." Robin said apologetically.
"Hmph, that's just how you guys are. Not that I expected it to change or anything…" The girl mumbled under her breath, a hint of blush spread across her face.
Robin merely chuckled awkwardly, ruffling his hair back. He had wondered who this girl was and the scene where his wife had been embracing the girl replayed in his mind, beckoning him to ask the question that had been nagging just now. "So, um, my name is Robin." He introduced himself, holding his hand out.
"I know who you are." She cut him shortly, not taking his hand as she crossed her arms and looked away with a small frown latched on her face.
"O-Oh, I see. So Cordelia had told you then?" Robin looked at his wife and found her shaking her head, the smile still plastered on her beautiful feature. He turned his attention back to the redhead and somehow he suddenly found her to be oddly familiar. The girl was still frowning as she was tapping her fingers impatiently over her other arm.
"Gods you are slow." She huffed as she turned to look at Robin straight in his eyes, her twin-tails flipping to the side as she pursed her lips and roughly shoved a small item into his hand.
Robin gave the small object a twirl in his palm and saw that it was ring, an engagement ring at that. It was quite old judging by the few scratches on the surface and its faded colour but he knew it was well-kept. Other than the minor damages it was still in relatively good condition and its master had definitely spent an awful lot of time constantly wiping and cleaning it. "This ring...wait isn't this...?" He whipped his head towards his wife for confirmation. Cordelia was beside herself with glee, unable to contain herself as she covered her mouth with her hands. The very same ring glistening under the sunlight from her left hand.
"...It was my mother's ring..." The twin-tailed mercenary mumbled, the blush prominent on her face.
Robin himself suddenly felt an explosive array of feelings all at once. He now mirrored the same smile Cordelia was wearing. "S-So you are, that is to say, I mean, you're our...?" He was speaking quite fast, his heart hammering loudly within his chest. He wanted so badly to be correct as to whom this girl's very identity to be.
After meeting Lucina and gaining the knowledge that there are other future children that had followed her, Robin and Cordelia had both wondered about their own. Wishing wistfully every night and whispered dearly to one another of their child, if he was a boy then was he strong? Or was he intelligent like his father? If she was a girl then is she a flyer? Very much like her mother perhaps? They had hoped and created situations when they would finally meet him or her. Seeing Chrom and Sumia, their happiness and pride showing on their faces whenever Lucina was around or even the mention of their daughter, had made the two of them very envious and anxious as well.
The girl standing in front of him now was beautiful. No, she was absolutely perfect. Robin could see it now, the likeness the girl had to Cordelia. The colour of her hair, the way she stood, her facial expression, they mirrored his wife's in more than a thousand ways.
The girl finally looked at Robin, a pained expression shown as she finally gave him the answer he was dying to hear. "Yeah, I'm your daughter from the future. The name's Severa."
It was an unusual first meeting. Robin had fumbled every other words he had tried to say and Cordelia giggling at her husband's reaction. Severa looked at the two in an exasperated manner, no doubt she had faced a similar situation in the future, in her past.
"Oh wow, sorry. I'm just a bit overwhelmed right now ha ha..." Robin laughed slightly as he rubbed his forehead. He peeked at the twin-tailed girl again and he had to stop himself from laughing like a madman.
"Gods can you stop? That is so embarrassing!" Severa huffed angrily, her hands on her hips (very much like her mother, Robin noted).
"Sorry, sorry. Yes, I'll stop laughing." Robin waved his hand apologetically. He had steadied himself and hesitantly reached out a hand to his daughter. He was unsure of what he was doing but he felt as if he wanted to draw her closer to him. She was family now, the girl whom he had just met no more than five minutes ago is now his precious daughter.
Robin was surprised however that instead of taking his hand (or even hugged him, like how he hoped she did with Cordelia) Severa made no move to take it and instead turned her attention to her mother.
"So can we like, go now? The sun is hurting my eyes and I could use a bath and some sleep. Gods that slime Nelson touched me and I want nothing more than to cleanse myself of his filth." Severa complained as she walked away from her father, he arm immediately linking with Cordelia as she pulled her mother away.
Cordelia gave her husband a puzzled look which he returned. Robin stood there like a statue as the voices of his wife and daughter drifted away, his hand still in its awkward position.
"Huh...maybe she's shy?" Robin wondered to himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully as he snapped out of his short stupor. Slowly, the tactitian moved his legs to follow the two back to camp.
"Um Cordy..." Robin had called for his wife's attention once they were back in their tent.
"Yes dear?" Cordelia loved it when he called her by her given nickname. Robin had used it when he started courting her and she liked how the sound of it rolled from his tongue. She looked to where her husband had called her, on his face she could see a mixture of confusion and hesitancy, both of which rarely seen. Ever. "Is something the matter?" She motioned for Robin to sit next to her on their bed.
Robin gave a large sigh as he rubbed his forehead. "Do you get the feeling that our daughter might be angry at me?" He spoke what was on his mind.
"Why would you ever think that?" Cordelia placed her hand over his gently. She knew that Robin must have sensed something was wrong if he came to her about it.
"I don't know...it's just a feeling I have..." Robin began, trying to remember the event that had unfold during dinnertime.
He had been very excited to introduce Severa to the rest of the Shepherds so there he was, clanking on pans with a spoon for his extended family's attention. Robin was grinning from ear to ear as he introduced Severa to them, to which they cheered loudly and the women began to make their way towards them.
Severa shrunk in between her father and mother and gave a very angry look to her father. "Gods must you do that? You could've been more subtler about it, now it's just embarrassing!"
Robin merely gaped at his daughter's reaction and no sooner than that did the rest of the female Shepherds began crowding Cordelia and her, barrages of questions shooting towards them, leaving Robin to the rest of the male crew congratulating him.
"Well maybe she was just embarrassed by how you were doting on her just now." Cordelia couldn't help but giggle at that, remembering how Robin had acted. He had turned into a doting father immediately after registering the fact that Severa was his, and despite them both knowing how she had brushed him off during their first meeting, he still swelled with happiness and pride for having her.
"Maybe...yeah you know what? That could be it. I remember how Lucina had been when Chrom introduced her to the others." The blue-haired princess from the future had turned a bright shade of red from Robin's memory of that time.
Chrom had gone around the campsite and yelling loud enough to whoever was within earshot that she was his daughter. He even took to threaten Virion away when the poor man merely wanted to properly greet the future Exalt. Needless to say over the week Chrom's shenanigans did not stop there. He had taken to ask Robin to construct a plan to keep Lucina away from the men of the army, mumbling about wolves and something about them in sheep's clothings. His over-reaction had earned him a dirty look from Sumia as she consoled her daughter in her arms. Lucina not being able to bear to see her father's image of a regal and proper King being ruined to that of a grouchy and jealous parent.
"Oh boy, not even half a day into meeting our daughter and I've turned into an idiot like Chrom." Robin finally chuckled. Of course that would be the reason. Which teenaged daughter won't get embarrassed over her father? He made a mental note to thread lightly on that matter once he sees her again the next morning. Robin let himself fall back to their bed as he stare at the ceiling.
"You're not as bad as he was, trust me." Cordelia joined him not a second later, her head resting on her husband's chest comfortably.. She listened to him hum as she felt his heart thumping slowly. "Our daughter..." she whispered happily, trailing circles on Robin's chest.
"Severa..." Robin liked it. He absolutely loved that name. "Our daughter..." he repeated, taking his wife's hand into his and intertwining their fingers.
Cordelia looked up to meet her husband's eyes, smiling back at him. "Gods Robin, she's beautiful." She said in a hushed tone.
"She's perfect." He agreed happily. In all their imaginations and endless discussion about their future child, they could not be more happy to be receiving Severa.
"We'll get to know her better from this point on." Cordelia gripped his hand slightly tighter. "As a family. She'll get to see how much of a splendid tactitian you are and you two can get along like how it should be." She placed light kisses on his neck as she said so.
"Hmm yeah, and she can see what an awesome mum you are with your flying techniques." Robin mused, imagining his daughter gushing over him as he commanded the Shepherds into a flawless victory.
Cordelia laughed quietly at that remark, nuzzling closer to her husband. "Tomorrow... I can't wait..." with that, both of them fell into sleep, excited at the prospect of seeing their daughter again when the sun rises.
"She definitely hates me." Robin said in a dejected manner.
A month had passed and by then Robin had picked up the non verbal signs that his daughter not only did not want to have anything to do with him, but had shown outright displeasure for being anywhere near him.
"Now Robin, you know that's not true...maybe..." Cordelia added unsurely. She herself had noticed how visibly uncomfortable Severa gets when Robin was within her vicinity. The girl cringed every time she hears him calling her name and she would make a hasty exit whenever he sat next to her during mealtime.
"She couldn't look at me without rolling her eyes Cordy." That too was true.
"Well if it helps she used to do it to me too whenever I wanted to talk to her. Plus I always seem to say the wrong thing as well." Cordelia had experienced her daughter's mood swings first hand as she would be the subject of Severa's wrath, tears and sometimes joy all in one shot. It had taken some time for her to get used to it.
"Yeah, keyword 'used to'. She's absolutely smitten with you now though." Robin pouted, remembering how Severa's face lit up when she sees her mother nowadays. "I just don't get it." Robin groaned, falling back onto his bed. "What does it take to get her to like me?"
Cordelia looked at her husband sympathetically, sitting next to him and gently running her fingers through his hair. "Just give her time dear, I'm sure she's still trying to get used to being with us again." It was the truth. A few days ago the younger girl had confided in Cordelia on how much effort it took to get used to the idea that her parents were still alive again.
Robin stared at the ceiling, trying to rake his brain for some ideas on how to win over his daughter. Her unusual anger over him must have stemmed from somewhere and unless he solves it, getting Severa to even sit next to him would be an impossible feat. "Perhaps I could try bribing her with desserts like you did..." he mumbled.
Cordelia giggled at his suggestion. "Yeah maybe you could. She likes the pudding our cooks supply us with." She added, trying to be helpful to her husband's crusade in winning their daughter's heart.
"Oh? So you don't mind me stealing your idea? She has been rather docile when you give her your food." Robin chuckled.
"Truthfully you need it more than I do." Cordelia smiled as Robin hummed in agreement.
"I'll try that first thing tomorrow." Robin was feeling quite confident this time around. "I'm not going to stop until I see a smile on that face of hers! Never!" Cordelia hushed him so as to not disturb their neighbours this late in the evening.
And another week passed by without much success for the tactician.
Severa walked as fast as her legs could carry her, darting past people and tents as she urgently made her way to her destination. Her heart was beating madly as her lips quivered, fearing for the worst.
When Severa had finally made it to her destination she came face to face with Owain. The blonde haired youth wore a grim expression and for once, no exaggerated tales or actions were made by him which alarmed her even more.
"Where is he?" She asked quietly, her eyes fixed on the medical tent behind him.
"He's inside, Mother's working on him as we speak but-"
"I'm going in." Severa cut him shortly and made to walk inside but Owain held his hand out to stop her.
Owain looked at her sternly. "Severa you can't, he's in pretty bad shape and-"
"Owain get out of my way or so help me I will cut off your stupid sword hand right here." Severa said hotly. She had no time to spare for this. Every second counts now.
"He was impaled by a spear and got shot by an Elfire spell point-blank Severa, it's a miracle he was still breathing when they pulled him in. Mother is doing her best with Sir Libra and Lady Maribelle right now and if you go in you'll just get in their way." Owain staunchly responded, making sure the girl stayed where stood.
Severa twitched anxiously on the spot. Her eyes darted back and forth between the medical tent and the youth, looking for some sort of solace. Mother...she needed Mother right now but she was nowhere to be found. Likely she was still in the fields, cleaning up after their battle not even knowing that her husband's life was hanging by a thread right this second.
Owain slowly placed a hand on her shoulder, giving a comforting look to his comrade. "I'm sure he'll be fine Severa. It's Sir Robin we're talking about here and if there's truth to be told by the legends we heard of him, your father is a hardened fellow that Death could yet claim him so easily."
Severa bit her lips and nodded though her heart remained worried and her hands were trembling. What if…what if he…Before she could even… No, she could not will herself to imagine him to die on her for the second time. Not again.
"I…I'll wait right here until I can be certain that he is alright." Severa said quietly, moving next to the medical tent and sat on top of the crates nearby.
Owain nodded, telling her that he will be sending word out for her mother and left her shortly afterwards. Severa was left alone and as much as she hated it, her imagination was running wild on what is transpiring in the tent behind her. The cloth was paper thin, she could her the panicked voices going back and forth inside. Once in a while she could hear her father's scream of pain, making her flinch and many of times had to force herself to stop from rampaging inside to see the man in agony. She wanted so badly to do nothing more than see her father's face.
"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…" She mumbled, her head hung low as tears welled in her eyes. Another scream was heard and she cringed, hugging herself tightly to make it stop. She suddenly remembered how much she missed being in her father's strong arms. The ones that had once embraced her as a child, shielding her from danger and his voice that whispers soothing words in her ears when she is afraid of something.
"Daddy…" Severa squeaked.
"-*Sob* Do you know how I will feel if you had died?"
"-Cordy dear, I'm not going anywhere."
"I can't live without you Robin, I-I can't."
Severa opened her eyes blearily, adjusting her sight to the darkness. Hours must have passed by as the evening moon was high in the sky, illuminating the campsite in an eerie light. She must have fallen asleep, noticing that she had fallen backwards behind the craters. She groaned as she stood up, straightening her sore back. Definitely not the best napping place, she thought grimly.
"When I got here and saw Lissa crying I-I assumed the worst."
Severa recognized her mother's voice. Was she crying?
"I'm so sorry I worried you dear, I'm okay now" It would have been convincing had he not let out a groan and Severa could hear her mother's panicked voice calling for Lissa. "I'm fine dear, I'm fine. It's just the stitches." Severa heard her father reassuring her mother.
"I want to be angry at you dear but after hearing that you did it for our daughter…" The young mercenary had made to walk inside when she heard her mother mention her. Curious, she stood in front of the tent flap, listening intently. What had he done?
"Severa...Where's Severa?! Is she fine?" Severa heard another groan, she assumed that her father had tried to get up from his bed.
Inside, Cordelia had pushed her husband back to his bed. Robin's sudden movement had surprised her, seeing him fading in and out of consciousness to full alert the next. "Lie back down you! You're going to reopen your stitches." She hissed, frowning at her husband's futile attempt to stand up again and the man simply flailed about helplessly on the bed before giving up.
"I have to know. Our daughter, is she-?" Robin looked at his wife pleadingly.
"Robin she's fine. Severa's back in her tent most probably, she didn't even know there was an ambush at all." Cordelia answered him, placing a gentle hand on his forehead as he let out a sigh of relief. "Which reminds me..." Cordelia raised her hand and flicked Robin's forehead with her index finger, clucking her tongue in a disapproving manner.
"Ow what was that for?" Robin pouted like a child, rubbing the spot his wife had flicked.
"For being an idiot...and a wonderful father." Cordelia teared up again as she gently kissed her husband on the cheek. "How did you find out about the ambush group?" She asked as Robin slowly wiped the tears off her face.
"As soon as I noticed the number of men the armed squad had. They were far less than the number Laurent had reported seen engaging his squad. I knew something was up so I checked the map to see if there were any other possible routes they could have taken." Robin recounted the details slowly, remembering the dreaded feeling he had when he realized where the missing soldiers could have gone to. "I didn't have enough time to pull everyone so I brought the two person who were closest to me at the time; Vaike and Olivia. Thank the gods they managed to get out of that battle unscathed otherwise I wouldn't be here right now telling you all this." Robin let out a low chuckle which quickly stopped as soon as he saw the look his wife was giving him.
Robin remembered how the wyvern riders and spellcasters had positioned themselves on top of the hill to where his daughter and Chrom's had been fighting. They were ready to flank them, having the advantage of the higher ground, the girls would have nowhere to run had it not been for Robin's timely arrival.
"The deed done to my body is my own fault. I failed to take into account the possibility of the Valmese soldiers separating. Gods how am I supposed to help Chrom win this war if I can't even do my job properly?" Robin said sullenly.
"No, do not think like that my love." Cordelia said sternly, her hands wrapped tightly on his. She would not allow her husband to self-depreciate himself. "You managed to fend off a whole squadron with only two Shepherds by your side. You could have run for help, you could have committed a dozen other mistakes but you did not. You are able to pull through because not only are you a tactician for the Ylissean army, but also a father who would sacrifice anything and everything for the safety of his daughter. Our daughter." She smiled proudly at Robin.
Robin could not help but feel a tinge of pride from his wife's praise. "Yeah well, maybe this could help me earn some points in Severa's good book." He suddenly felt sad, looking away as he went into a deep thought.
Silence fell between them as Cordelia waited for what Robin was about to say. After being married for a year or so she had picked up quite well on how to read his nonverbal cues. She knew there was something heavy weighing down on him so she decided to wait until he had his words sorted out.
It was after a long moment that Robin finally spoke. "…She hates me." The words came out bitter, sad.
"Robin, my love, don't say that!" Cordelia squeezed his hands. She did not want him to think that their daughter would feel that way towards him.
"No, it's true Cordelia. I can see it, perhaps since the first time we met but somehow I blocked that thinking out. I refused to accept such an obvious answer because I-I was afraid." Robin shut his eyes painfully. "She came from the future…she must have known us, of the people that we've become, it was obvious…so obvious…" Robin repeated, he knew he was making no sense to his wife but he has to say it, he wanted her to know.
"I could have become many things in the future Cordelia. Ten, fifteen years is a very long time. What if somehow I turned into a bad parent?" Cordelia had wanted to speak up to protest but Robin held his free hand up, his face begging her to let him finish. "W-What if in the future I had mistreated her? Not only her but Gods I shudder to think that I would have abused you as well."
"No…Robin please…my love, don't say that…" Cordelia pleaded, tears streaming down her face. She could not bear to see him in such a state.
Robin's face had contorted into a mixture of anger and pain. He was angry with himself, thinking of the possibility that he would hurt his wife and daughter. "I could have turned into an alcoholic or maybe a gambler, wasting away my life. You and Severa would have been the closest people to get hurt. She would have known that her father is but a big disappointment and worthless man." He suddenly realized that he too was crying.
"Robin…oh Robin, shush now my love. I don't want to hear this anymore, please I beg of you…" Cordelia wept, cupping his cheeks and pulled the man close as he began sobbing in her chest. "You are a good husband and I know you will be a good father one day. I cannot fathom the reason as to why Severa is acting the way she is but I assure you that it is not because you were an abusive man."
"B-But I-"
"No Daddy that's not true!"
Out of nowhere Severa suddenly came crashing into her father's ward, falling to the edge of his bed. Her eyes were red and filled with falling tears as she scrambled to stand up, grasping at his blanket and pulling herself towards him. Once she was close enough she quickly hugged her father, crying and sniffling uncontrollably.
"I-I'm sorry if I was being mean to you! You're the best dad any little girl could have and you were so nice to me and bought me all those clothes and all I did was push you away! I-I *hic* I'm so sorry I made you feel so miserable Daddy I'm sorry!" Severa hiccupped and continued hugging her father as he groaned in pain.
"S-Severa sweetie, my wounds…" Robin somehow could not find the words or the will to push his daughter away, not when she was finally confessing for her actions. "T-There, there honey, it's okay now." Hesitantly, he placed his hand on her head and began stroking her hair gently, comforting the girl.
"No it's not okay! I was being mean to you because I couldn't make myself believe that you're with me again. I was also angry at you for leaving me, you left me for Chrom and you didn't come back. You promised me that you would but you didn't a-and Mother was heartbroken. I didn't want to believe her when she said that y-you were gone and oh Daddy! It was so childish of me to hold a grudge over something so petty!" She buried her face deeper into his chest, her twin tails swinging wildly as it slapped Robin's face in a comical manner. "I'm a horrible, horrible daughter for being mean to you when all you did was protect me! I love you so much Daddy please don't hate me!" She sniffed, looking at him with teary, pleading eyes.
Robin finally understood what had transpired between his daughter and himself. He let out a throaty laugh and wiped the tears off his daughter's face, looking at her with love and pride. "I could never hate you Severa, never. I-I had always feared that you would be the one hating me. Just the thought of being a bad parent to such a wonderful daughter like you made me sad. Sad and angry at myself."
"You weren't! You weren't a bad parent! You were always nice and whenever I had trouble with something you were always there for me! Everybody always compared me to Mother, saying how I should act more like her but not you! You always told me that I should be whoever I want to be and that you will always be proud of who I am." She said fervently.
"And I couldn't agree more with my future self." Robin chuckled, cupping his daughter's face. "I am and will always be proud of you honey. Thank you for making your father a very happy man by being born into this world. I love you so much Severa." He kissed her on her forehead as he could hear his wife choke back a sob, no doubt being caught up in the scene unfolding in front of her.
"Oh Daddy I love you too! You and Mother!"
Cordelia could not hold herself back any longer as she threw herself at the two as well, hugging her husband and daughter as the tears fall freely. Robin smiled as he wrapped his arms around his two most dearly beloved, silently thanking whatever Gods that were out there for finally reuniting his family.
"-And then Lucina told me how she saw Yarne stealing a kiss from Noire when they thought nobody was looking- Daddy are you listening to me?!" Severa huffed angrily as her father looked up from a book he was showing to his younger daughter. "Morgan I was telling Daddy about what Lucina told me!" She glared at her younger sister, who sheepishly grinned back.
"Oh sorry Sevry but you were droning on and ooooonnnn about it that I kinda'…lost interest so I wanted father to explain to me about this tome!" Morgan said simply, not realizing the thin ice she was walking on with the already fuming Severa.
Realizing the situation, Robin quickly stood up to diffuse Severa before she explodes and turns his reading room into another battlefield. "Perhaps you two would like to go shopping instead? It's a nice day out and we could buy something nice…" Robin knew he would cry tonight when he sees the aftermath of his moneybag as both his daughters' faces lit up with delight. "Go get ready while I fetch your mother girls."
Robin chuckled as his two teenaged daughters ran out of his room, chattering about what they wanted to buy. Stretching his arms out, Robin made his way outside to their stables and saw his beautiful wife tending to her Pegasi. Slowly, walked towards her and encircled his arms around her waist as she let out a low giggle, knowing full-well who it was.
"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Robin asked lazily, nuzzling his face on her neck.
"It is. What are the girls up to?" Cordelia turned around and hugged her husband back, a serene smile on her face as they bumped foreheads.
"We're going shopping in a while. Don't ask, Mount Severa was about to erupt thanks to Morgan as usual." Robin chuckled as Cordelia 'tutted' him at the given nickname of their daughter's tantrum mood swings. Robin gently strokes his wife's face, appreciating her soft skin as she leaned in towards his touch.
"I love you…" She mumbled softly, her eyes closed as she enjoyed their tender moment together. "You, Severa and Morgan. I love you all so much…"
Robin smiled and leaned forward, giving his wife a loving kiss. They stared into each other's eyes until they heard the cry of disgust coming from their house's direction, meaning that they were caught by their eldest daughter yet again in the midst of being 'lovey-dovey'.
Holding each other's hand tightly, the couple slowly walked towards where their children were waiting. Robin looked at his wonderful family with a contented smile. "I love you too Cordelia. All of you are the world to me."
