Author's Note: The angst thing (I'm good at it), I probably won't get to until way after chapter 5 (It's done already!). It probably will have something to do with the sister. Yes, she will be there, and yes, she'll be the antagonist of this story.

I've decided to post chapters the day before the spot pass update, because someone will end up playing the new content on that day, and it will probably be me, so I won't be able to post the next chapter.

Also, there are children and couples in this chapter. If asked who my favorite one is, I can answer that: Gaius and Nowi. There is a whole scene where they are arguing about how Nah got her name. I blame Gaius.

Everyone who had said they would come came, all carrying presents and luggage and children. Lucina was happy to see the other children and brought out her toys to play with them. The older ones chattered as they played, but those who were too young to talk waddled around instead, chasing after loose balls.

Blankets were laid out for people sit at, but there were tables that held food on them. I sat down, and very quickly Nowi and Gaius came to join me, and Nowi said, "Hey Luna! So you're having a baby?"

Nowi looked the same as she aways had, though she mentally matured after having a child. Well, not that much. She still acted pretty much the way she looked.

Gaius had aged slightly, but still loved sweets and always had a lollipop in his mouth. "I still remember when Nowi came home with Nah. Can't believe she'd name our daughter that."

"Hey, you named her that, not me!" Nowi fumed.

"No, you said her name was Nah first, remember? I asked you what her name was and you said Nah."

"I was replying to you asking if she was a baby! I wanted her to be a surprise!" Nowi said.

"That's a horrible surprise, since she was a baby!" Gaius exclaimed.

Suddenly there was a shrieking over from where the children were playing. Inigo, Henry's son, was cling onto one of Nah's braids. The young manakete girl was crying in pain, and a look of horror was on her parents' faces. "Let go!" Nah screamed. "Let go, let go, let go!"

The boy, though, still clung to her hair, until Olivia came and said, "Inigo, let go of Nah's hair." He shook his head, and gripped the braid harder. "Inigo, if you don't let go, I won't let you have any tea."
"But mommy!" Inigo whined, leading his mother not to reply. Finally he let go, and Nah scurried over to her parents, covering her head with her hands.

Nowi stroked her daughter's head. "Nah, are you all right?"

"I told you, if she had a name like that she'd get her smallclothes pulled over her head." Gaius pointed out. Nowi glared at her husband, then went back to caring for her daughter. He went and joined her, saying, "That was a joke, okay Nah? I love you as much as your mother."

Then Inigo walked up with his father beside him. "Inigo wants to apologize." Henry said. "And say he won't hurt girls again. Right, Inigo?"

Inigo seemed reluctant at first, but eventually promised so. Nah came out from where she hid behind her father and went off with Inigo to where the children were.

"Geez, that boy." Nowi muttered. Then she turned to me. "Well, is it time to gift give yet?"

"I guess." I answered.

"Okay!" Nowi said. She took off a bag she had on her shoulder, and began to rummage through it. "Ah, here it is." She pulled out a bow, which had some neatly folded baby clothes in it. "Do you think the baby will be a boy or a girl?"

"I'm hoping it'll be a boy this time," Tharja, who had approached at the sight of Nowi's rummaging, said. "Then he could marry Noire. Wouldn't that be nice, Luna?"

"Um," I was at a lose for words. When I had first seen Noire, she had some curse put upon her that made her unusually smart for her age. She could walk and talk, but began spouting nonsense because of the talisman her mother gave her.

As if reading my mind, Tharja said, "That was a prototype. The new talisman is much better."

"Not really," her husband said, holding Noire in his arms. The child was sleeping, but jerked around at times. "She came to me during my worship and began to shout curses at a statue of Naga." He sighed. "She shouldn't even know those words."

"Yes, well." Tharja drew from her own bag a box. I took it, almost dropping it because of its surprising weight. "It's a crib. Now you don't have to worry about that, do you?"

"Um, thank you?" I said, very confused. Was it made of metal? Tharja giggled, and went off toward where the food was set out.

"Weird as always," Gaius said, then he and Nowi went off that way too.

Some of the invited people came from far away. Virion and Panne and their son had come from Valm, which was all the way across the sea. When they came up with their present, I unconsciously reached for Yarne's hair. I had forgotten that this always offended him, and began to tickle him doing so. "Stop lady!" he giggled uncontrollably. "That tickles! Ha ha! Don't touch my hair!"

I didn't stop until Panne intervened. "You shouldn't tickle a taguel, milady."

"I'm sorry. He's just so cute!" I began to reach for the boy again, but he snapped at my hand.

"Yarne, a young noble does not snap at his noble lady's hand." Virion said, making the boy apologize. "Now give her her gift."

It always felt weird when Yarne got angry. I wasn't sure why, but it felt like he should be more timid. The boy drew from his pocket a small box, which held inside it a gourd attached to a stick, the gourd filled with something that made it make a rattling sound when shook. "I made it," Yarne said proudly.

"What is it?" I asked.

"A noble should know all the arts, music included." Virion pointed out. "The earlier, the more intuited with music he or she becomes."

"So pretty much it's a musical instrument for babies?" I said, and Panned nodded, though the question made her husband and son angry.

"I'm not a baby!" Yarne complained. He revealed another rattler at his belt.

"It is just a musical device. They are not exclusive to babes." Virion said.

"Okay..." I said, "Thank you." The family left after that.

One by one couples came with bags and boxes containing gifts. Eventually everyone had given their gifts and went inside the castle. I was one of the people who helped clean up afterwards, and when it was done, I began to go inside myself. That was when I heard someone call out my name.

"Luna..."

The voice was raspy and low, but I was sure I heard someone. I turned around quickly and saw a figure retreating from the courtyard. I stepped to run after it when my foot hit something. Another box. I picked it up, then discovered the figure was out of sight. I sighed, and looked over the box. On it I found the letter 'M' carved in. I opened it, and inside it I found a crudely made sword.

This left me puzzled. I had no time to ponder it though, as Chrom called out, "Luna, are you going to come in soon?"

"I'll be right in, Chrom." I said, putting the box under my arm and walking to the entrance of the castle.
