It was a beautiful day with no clouds, the sun shining warmly on our backs as Wolfguard and I happily watched Lia, our daughter, whose full name is Aemilia Rosemary. She has grown up into a cute feminine version of Wolfguard with my light brown eyes. Her silver-black hair is growing into a plentiful mane through we were stupefied by the color. My parents respectively had dark brown and dark red hair. Wolfguard's parents are a mystery, however. He was found by a hospital. Lia was playing with the four-month old puppies, which was the second litter of Alka and Jaru. Her favorite one is Ursa; a burnt red and cream tan husky look-alike of her father, Alka, with Jaru's crystal blue eyes. Lia's turning three today. We saw Sunrise approaching with Alka and Jaru, we stood up with respect, smiling.
Sunrise grinned at us, "Settle, Leafpelt and Wolfguard. The folks has asked me to interpret for you. Since I told them that today is Lia's birthday, they wanted to do something for you two and Lia especially.".
I asked, "And what may that be, Sunrise?".
Sunrise widely smiled with a hop in her step, "Alka and Jaru had gave permission and their blessings to give Ursa to Lia, that Lia would appreciate a familiar friend by her side once you all enter the portal.".
I gasped slightly and looked at Wolfguard who was smiling with shock.
"You knew?". I asked Wolfguard with excited suspicion.
Wolfguard sheepishly shrugged, "I figured since we could be in strange surroundings, Lia would love to have Ursa with her when we're asleep or whatever. So, I had to ask for permission.". I hugged him feverishly, "You clever mate of mine!". I exclaimed with proclaimed happiness. Wolfguard chuckled, the rumble in his chest against my face.
We soon called Lia over with Ursa, while the other puppies surrounded themselves with Jaru. Sunrise told us that Ursa had said her goodbyes, and we waved to the big family as they left for their cave in another section of Central Park.
We got down to HQ by elevator, giving Lia her turn with the button. As we stepped into the floor, we was fully surprised by the loud cheers and shouts of the clan; everybody who was in their chosen worlds had returned for the day, and there were a giant cake in Lia's favorite flavor, strawberry with every color in the frosting around the borders and etc.
Wolfguard had disappeared for a few minutes, commenting that he forget something in our room. As we got settled, Wolfguard returned with this confident/nervous look.
He tapped his glass, getting everybody's attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we realize today is our daughter's birthday, but I intend to make this day even more special.". I was confused for a sec until Wolfguard knelt on his knee, bringing forward a small velvet red box. I gasped, my hands covering my mouth.
"Sierra Lepeia Leafpelt, we are mates in almost every word, but I wish to make that come true with you as my true wife. A paper certificate doesn't cover our relationship, how we look out for each other, giving each other respect, faith, happiness, family, and true love. You gave me a best friend, a confidant, a dear listener, a wonderful mother, and mate. Will you marry me from now to the ends of time as I give all my heart for you?". He confessed as he opened the box, revealing a magnificent and simple ring; a twisted silver band with two sparkling emeralds at each side with a engraved rose ruby at the middle.
I sobbed slightly, until a warrior nudged me gently, and I nodded, with a wide smile, "Yes, Miles Wolfguard, I will marry you and I want to marry you right now!".
Wolfguard laughed merrily and spun me in a hug, kissed me lovingly and deeply. Everybody cheered for us, and Lia, Ursa was skipping over to us with wide grins and shining eyes. We hugged them gently and tightly at the same time. Suddenly, we heard a loud beep, and we all turned to see the portal shining so brightly, muffled sounds of cheers and whistles inside. Then it changed, a booming sound approached our ears. A white blast came out of the portal and zooming over all of us, the sparkles of the blast covering us so deeply that we couldn't see anyone, hearing exclamations and confused shouts in the sparkling fog.
Once the blast and fog cleared up, we all received the greatest surprise today, that I was completely stupefied and shocked... as the rest of us are..
