If Lucina hadn't been there when the Shepherds found Morgan, she wouldn't have believed it. Her and Robin had paired up together, as was the married couple's norm, when they arrived at the ruins. The moment they split off from the bulk the group to chase after a team of wyvern riders, Robin pointed to a girl with dark hair and a Tactician's coat similar to his. When the girl had just dispatched the wyvern riders, she ran over to Robin and tightly wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

Needless to say, Lucina almost stabbed the young girl for touching her husband. She later found out it was a good thing she hadn't. The girl claimed that her name was Morgan and that Robin was her father. Then Lucina's anger transferred to Robin, did he have a child with another woman? No, she quickly dismissed that, Robin wasn't that kind of person.

That left one option if Morgan's story was true, that meant she was from the future, another one than her own. What she needed to know now was if Morgan was hers. Lucina had wanted to ask if Morgan had the brand of the exalt, but they didn't have the time. Instead, Robin ordered them both to stay close to him and the three of them returned to the fight.

~~~•••~~~

After the battle, Lucina was surprised to learn that on Morgan's right breast, hidden under her shirt was exalt brand. Although Lucina was now somewhat certain that Morgan was in fact her daughter, she was also saddened to discover that the only thing the girl remembered was her father.

The Shepherds had made camp in the center of a large clearing, little more than a half mile from the rest of Chrom's army. Robin and Lucina had pitched their tent near the edge of the camp so that they could have some privacy from their friends.

It felt strange for Lucina to be on the receiving end of the "I'm your child from the future" conversations that had become almost common among the shepherds. It had been one thing to tell her parents who she was, another to watch her sister Cynthia explain. This made it all seem easy in comparison, especially since neither of them knew about the other.

Robin had disappeared to go talk about the next days march with Chrom. He hadn't wanted to, but it needed to be done. That left Lucina and Morgan sitting in front of the tent, looking at each other awkwardly.

Morgan was the first one to speak up. "So... you are my mother?" She asked, sitting down on one of the logs they planned to use for a fire later that night. It probably wasn't the most tactful approach but it did break the ice.

"I... I guess." Lucina answered uncertainly. She felt a surge of guilt. "That came out wrong." She looked the fourteen year old in the eyes. "I'm still processing all of this... now I get how weird Father felt."

"Wait, you came from the future too?"

"Yes, but I didn't know Robin yet. I came to save my father, your grandfather from dying." That was when she realized that Chrom hadn't met Morgan yet. Robin was probably explaining it to him right now. "Meeting Robin was a pleasant surprise."

"Mother, I wish I could remember you." Sighed Morgan. She shivered from the cold air. The sun was setting, causing the air to become colder. The smell of campfires began to drift through the Clearing. "I promise, I will never stop trying to remember." Lucina caught a hint of cheer in her voice.

"You two getting to know each other?" Asked Robin as he appeared holding a sack of supplies for Morgan. He placed the bag in front of the girl and pulled out a set of tent posts. When the two didn't answer, Robin continued. "It's getting cold out. Lucina, can you start the fire?"

"Of course." She stood up and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.

Morgan unfolded her tent's sheet while Robin pounded in the posts. "Father. I think I remember us doing something like this. Camping out in the woods." She had to think so hard it hurt to remember any of it, but the memory was there.

"Did you two go camping often?" Asked Lucina after the fire began to ignite. She walked over to her pack and producged a stack of dried meat and a loaf of bread for them to eat.

"I... I think so, we would go hiking somewhere and watch the stars in the sky."

Robin finished with the posts and helped his daughter with the cloth. "Was Lucina with us? This could be the first step to remembering."

"I don't know." The young teen looked to her not much older mother. "I don't think so. Maybe?" She seemed be straining hard to remember.

"Hey, calm down." Cautioned Robin. "Let the memories come to you, it doesn't help to force it. Believe me, I've tried."

After the tent was finished and all of Morgan's supplies placed inside, the family sat down to eat. Robin missed the meals they ate when they were in the capitol. A good plate of fresh fish sounded really good but all their fresh provisions had been eaten in the first weeks of the war against the Valm Empire and it was too dark to go fishing in the nearby stream.

Lucina smiled as she watched her husband and daughter both devour their meals like a pack of starving dogs. It amazed her how similar they both were. The same eyes, height and behavior, but that was when she also started to see the similarities that mother and daughter shared. Morgan had inherited her dark blue-ish hair, her lighter build, slightly humorous nature and most of all the symbol of the exalt, what branded them as family.

"Father, are you going to allow me to fight you when we set sail in a few days? I overheard you talking to someone about fireships! That's a bold idea." Began Morgan as she pulled her bear skin blanket over her shoulder to stay warm. "I would love to learn from you in battle."

"I was talking to your Grandfather." It brought a chuckle to refer to Chrom as an old man since the Ylissian prince was barely three years older than himself. "As for if you can fight with us, we'll see. I want to see what you can do first, so we're going to test your skills tomorrow while we march."

"Thank you Father!" She cheered loud enough for the rest of the camp to hear. Lon'qu and Sully both looked up from their campfire in response and gave her an odd glare.

"You had better get to sleep, we're going to be on the move before dawn." Smiled Robin.

She started to walk to her tent but stopped. "Can I borrow one of your books? They help me sleep." Robin nodded and pointed to his pack. She quickly rummaged through until she found one she liked and climbed into her tent. A small magical flame could be seen through the tent's flap, lighting it's inside.

Lucina and Robin sat outside by the campfire quietly for a few minutes until they heard Morgan's muffled snores and her light hd extinguished. "I didn't expect this to happen." Admitted Robin. "But I'm glad she's here."

"As am I." Lucina said, snuggling closer to him. "But this complicates my plans. I don't know if I can go back to my own time now, seeing her. What we could have."

"Then don't. You said that world was doomed, why doom yourself? I couldn't bare to lose you."

"I know, but you also said you would support me if I did. It doesn't matter now, I want to stay, here, with you." Robin smiled. She knew exactly what he wanted to hear and he loved her even more for it. "We should be off to bed too, we've got a lot of distance to cover in the next couple days." Lucina seductively pulled him toward their tent without another word.
