Rapunzel looked over the rim of the crib that the King had gotten for his grandchild, Endrita. According to the Queen, their daughter looks a lot like Rapunzel when she was a baby. Personally, I thought that if this child looked half as beautiful as her mother I would have to beat off her suitors with a frying pan… Hey, don't look at me that way, those things hurt, and I should know!
Our little girl was born a little over a month ago, and I don't think I've ever loved anyone more, except for maybe her mother. I never thought that one day I would have a family; me, Eugene Fitzherbert, the orphan, the thief, the person who had been sentenced to death, I finally have a family. Although, I can't really say that the King and Queen were thrilled to add me, a formally wanted man, into their family as a son-in-law…. Rapunzel was the one to convince them that since I saved her from Gothel I should be acquitted of my crimes. Have I mentioned that I love Rapunzel?
One day we will rule the kingdom, but that day is a long way off and I'm more than happy to let her parents do that for a while. Right now, I just want to stay here in this moment, looking at my wife and daughter.
We still get visits from the thugs that we met at the Snuggly Duckling. Of course, the stupid guards stop them at the gate. If it wasn't for Maximus, they would never get in. Even when I say it's okay the guards still ignore me… Just my luck, when I actually want them to listen to me they don't and back when I didn't want them to see me they would come chasing after me. Whatever. Rapunzel is still the one who talks to them the most. I guess there's just not that much to say to someone who tried to turn you in for money… Although, they are glad that I changed my dream, since according to them my first one sucked.
So, naturally, when we announced that we were having Endrita they were the first to congradulate us. Saying things like how they hoped the baby would be more like Rapunzle than me, although I can't blame them there. I'm still insulted by that though.
Speaking of being insulted, in the family portrait of Rapunzel, Endrita, and I the artist still can't get my nose right! I don't understand why, it's not that hard!
"Isn't she beautiful?" Rapunzel asked me as I walked up to the crib. "I don't think I've ever seen someone so pretty."
I put my arm around her. "Oh, I think I have. After all, she does get her looks from you."
"Oh, stop it, Eugene." She smiled at me.
I brought her closer, "but what if I don't want to?" I gave into my wants and I kissed her.
