Hello people I'm working on a new Fire Emblem Story or rather stories since these are all one shots that take place in Awakening, also Halo: Understanding chapter 2 is still underway I'm rewriting it since I had to change PC's and couldn't get the date transferred yet. so the plot of this of one shots is basically a series of letters between Ricken and Maribelle while the two were apart and then it continues afterwards...well you'll see just read.

Fire Emblem is the product of Intelligent Studios and Nintendo. Please enjoy and do review and favorite

Ricken smiled slightly as he looked at a small letter, he was glad to finally get the latest letter from his beloved Maribelle. he detected a slight scent from it most likely the perfume that she wore. breaking the small wax seal he began to read the letter

Dear Ricken

How are you my love? I miss you greatly I wished that Miriel and Lon'qu hadn't requested you for this expedition, the house is rather lonely without you. But it's not all sadness I've got good news I'm with child my love. I hope you can return before our Brady's birth

With Love, you're dearest Maribelle

PS. Do try to get more sleep, Miriel told me you had been hit with a bout of insomnia.

Ricken smiled at the letter, he was going to be a father finally ever since Luciana returned from the future with his future son in tow he had become anxious to see his child born. Now here he was almost three years since the defeat of Grima and he was soon to become a parent. filled with a new vigor he began to pin a letter to Maribelle conveying his new-found excitement for the revelation.

Several weeks passed until Maribelle received the letter she was enjoying afternoon tea when a currier had passed giving her the letter, it had Rickens house insignia on a wax seal. she carefully opened the letter and began to read.

Dear Maribelle

I'm filled with so much excitement that I can barely contain myself, I wish to see you so much to hold you and to watch our child grow within you but alas I am here far away but do not fret my love I expect to be back within the next two months. Do try to take care of yourself and be safe.

With love Yours forever Ricken

PS. Be sure to tell Brady (the one from the future) to not get jealous of himself

Maribelle let out a slight laugh as she finished the last part of the letter she looked to her side to see Brady talking to his wife Kjelle, she had yet to tell him of her pregnancy hoping to tell him when Ricken returned. The weeks passed and as Maribelles pregnancy became more pronounced she eventually sat down her son from the future and told him of the news.

"Well Brady as you can see, I'm pregnant with well...you ." she spoke as she glanced at her slightly large belly.

"Yeah I figured after you started eating more food then-ah!" he began but was hit with a parasol in the head and never finished his thought.

"Now Brady that's rude, but yes as you so bluntly put it I hope that you won't see your younger self as a competition for your father and I's attention." Brady then gave her a rather strange look and began to laugh causing Maribelle to give him a somewhat crocked smile.

"Gods ma did dad make you say that?" he said whipping a tear from his eye she nodded and he began to laugh again this time she joined in with him.

"Um am I interrupting something?" the two heard a familiar voice rang from the houses entrance his a man of a slightly smaller height entered hair was red and it had a slight cowlick to it.

"Ricken!" Maribelle yelled in both surprise and glee as she ran towards her husband and gave him as big a hug she could muster without risking the child inside her.

"It's so good to see you love." she spoke as she released him from her embrace.

"Hey old-timer." Brady spoke as he gave his father a hug, the rest of the day was spent hearing Ricken retell his time with Miriel and Lon'qu during their expedition. As more months passed and Maribelles due date draw closer and closer the two became closer in a sense preparing for the new life that they were bringing into the world. One night during the sixth month of her pregnancy Maribelle asked a question that caught Ricken off guard, the two were preparing to head to bed when she sprung it on him.

"Ricken do you ever worry that we might be bad parents?" Ricken smiled walked up to Maribelle and gently placed his forehead to hers.

"Sometimes, it's always there in the back of my head nagging but I always push it aside."

"How?" she asked

"I just look at you and know that if I ever slip that you'll be there to help me and I'll do the same for you My love." he then placed his lips gently upon hers, only a fraction of a second but it was enough to reassure her.

"Now, let's get some sleep we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Maribelle nodded and the two then headed off to bed in preparation for the days ahead.
