Chapter 2

A Coincidence

Two girls continued to stack books on top of one another. One of those girls being the daughter of Chrom, and the other being the daughter of Robin. Morgan looked at the young princess as she struggled to place more books taller than her height. "Let me help you out a bit." The tactician said as she carried her up.

"Thank you!" The little Lucina said with a smile. She placed a few more books on top of her pile as it slightly gained the edge over Morgan's stack.

"Dang, this is a close match! Alright, my turn. You see Lucy, you could try to beat me, but nobody I know has defeated the master of tomestackers!" Morgan said as she swiftly threw three books on top of her stack. The tower of books weakly shook, but remained still once again.

The young princess stared in awe as she saw the incredible feat. "Wowwww! My turn, my turn!" She said excitedly. She grabbed ahold of a few more books as she readied to throw them.

"W-wait don't throw them!" Morgan said as she saw the girl ready to toss the books.

Lucina threw a book towards her pile. It flew above it as it struck Morgan's pile instead. The books all stacked on top of one another all rapidly fell as the two girls stared in silence.

Lucina looked at the pile of books on the floor. All of Morgan's hard work all reduced to shambles. "Morgan… I-I'm sorry." She said guiltily with a frown.

Morgan sighed. "Hey, no need to apologize. This just means you're officially the first one to beat me." She said as she tried to cheer up the girl.

Lucina continued to show a frown. The door of the room they were in opened. "W-what happened here?" Sumia said with a surprised look.

I'll cover for you Lucy. Morgan thought."Oh, we were just playing tomestackers. I got a bit clumsy and dropped my pile, haha. I'll clean it all up, so don't worry-"

"I'm gonna clean it!" The small Lucina said to her. Both the tactician and pegasus knight looked at her, surprised. "I dropped it… So I want to fix it." She said, showing a determined face.

Sumia looked at her daughter. It was very reminiscent to the determined expression the future Lucina often showed. She smiled. "Alright Lucy. Let's clean this up together."

The small Lucina looked at her mother, confused.. "B-but it was my fault."

"That doesn't matter. Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you have to fix it by yourself." Morgan said with a smile.

"We all make mistakes every once in a while, and you can learn from them to make sure it doesn't happen ever again. Now let's get to cleaning up first. I have pie waiting for you two in the kitchen" Sumia said happily.

Lucina looked at both her mother and Morgan. She showed a smile. "Right!"

The three began to clean up the mess of books scattered across the floor as well as from the stack that Lucina had laid out. "Hey grandma? I was telling Lucina the story about my mother and father. I got up to the part where they just confessed to one another. Would you mind if you told us the story of how they got engaged?" Morgan asked.

Lucina's eyes immediately showed interest. "Yay!"

"Lucina still likes hearing this story even after telling it multiple times." Sumia laughed.

"Well, it is based on a true story after all." Morgan grinned.

"I suppose you're right." Sumia smiled. "Okay then. The day after your bigger sister and Robin confessed, they were very nervous and flustered. Robin was scared of what me or your papa would do if we found out. After acting very weird and fishy, he decided to tell us. He told us how much he cared for your sister, and that he wanted to protect her at all costs. I was personally happy knowing this since I already knew Robin was a really dependable person. Chrom was a little bit weirded out, but he decided it wasn't his decision to say anything."

"Haha! I can seriously see a world where Chrom HATES Robin for marrying Lucy." Morgan laughed.

"Why would papa hate that?" A curious Lucina asked.

"I don't think he would ever hate it. It would at least weird him out." Sumia chuckled. "Anyways, they got the approval of us even though it wasn't really necessary. A lot of things happened during this time, such as us finding Lissa's heroic son, Owain and much more. Through the many ventures they faced, they continued to grow closer and closer. After some eventful months however, Robin decided to make a decision. He wanted to propose and get engaged. He prepared himself as much as he could, even getting custom-made engagement rings from a friend. He spent day and night trying to figure out the perfect time, but the war against Valm stopped him from doing so."

"How come?" The young Lucina asked.

"We were fighting a war. Robin didn't want to propose in these dangerous times. However, the day would come where the war would end. Robin helped us defeat the conqueror of Valm and it was a day of celebration and happiness. Both your big sister and Robin were able to relax at last. Then, at a party celebrating the end of the war, they would share a moment with one another that changed their lives." Sumia said happily.

The young Lucina once again prepared to listen carefully to the story.

"They stood by one another, staring at the night sky as they spoke about what would become of them in the future. Although they were happy being with one another, your big sister was still unsure of what would happen to them after they would defeat Grima. She wanted to go back to her world to defeat the Grima in her world. Robin said he would go with her. They argued for a while since Lucina didn't want to take away Robin from the world he belonged in, but the tactician stood his ground. 'Then I'll help you defeat Grima there too. Wherever you decide to go, Lucy. I'll be sure to follow your path. And I… I want to let you know I seriously mean it.' Robin got on one knee, and brought out a ring. Your big sister embraced the tactician, and gladly accepted."

The small princess smiled brightly. "Big sister was married!"

"Well, technically engaged. It's kind of like a big promise to get married in the near future." Morgan corrected.

"Huh? They're not married yet?" Lucina asked, surprised.

"Nope, but I do hear that they're planning on it soon. I also hear they want you to be the flower girl at the wedding." Morgan said with a grin.

Another bright smile formed on the girl's face. "Really!? I'll do my best!" She said happily.

Morgan chuckled as she saw the girl smile brightly. She then looked around at the room. "Huh, looks like we're all done cleaning up." She commented. The room was clean and there weren't any books left on the floor.

"We've been done for a while now, actually." Sumia responded. "You two are just so invested you didn't notice." Sumia laughed.

"Hey, it's a real good story." Morgan laughed. She then remembered something. "Oh, let's get to that pie! I'm really craving some milk right now too!" She said excitedly.

"Yeah! Pie! Pie!" Lucina said happily.

"Mama, mama! Let's go! The hot springs are open!" A small girl said happily.

"In a bit, Morgan." A woman responded. She gently shook her husband sleeping on the bed next to her. "Robin, let's get ready for the day."

"Five more minutes please… Morgan let's just stay in bed for a bit longer." Robin replied to the two under his covers.

The little girl pouted as she grabbed a nearby book and began hitting the tactician with the book. "Get up sleepy head! Get up, get up!" She said as she repeatedly whacked him.

"Ow, ow! Alright!" Robin said as he shielded his head with his hands. "You're seriously becoming like your mother." Robin said with a laugh.

"I'm going to take that as a compliment." Lucina said with a grin. "Let's get going, dear. We have a long day ahead of us." She said as she pecked the tactician.

"Heh, I'm feeling more energized already." Robin said as he looked at the woman with a smile.

"Eww! Stop being so lovey dovey!" Morgan said in disgust.

The two looked at the girl and laughed. It was a fun day. They were ready to go out and enjoy their day in the hot springs… Hot springs?

Lucina looked at the sight once more. Robin looked a bit older, and Morgan seemed to be just a mere child. She tried to recall how she got there… Nothing. It seemed like a dream...

Two figures slept closely to one another. One man with snow-white hair, and a woman with cerulean-colored hair. The eyes of the woman slowly began to open. She blinked a few times before finally being able to see clearly in front of her. She saw the man with snow-white hair sleeping right next to her. He was smiling. The woman smiled as well. It was a blessing that she was able to live this life with him. After all they had been through, it was a great feeling knowing that they would finally be able to live the life of peace they had wanted to live. The man who she dearly loved. Her dear Robin.

The rays of the sun slowly peeked into their room. That's certainly odd. It can't be that late… Can it? She thought. She then realized something. Morgan didn't rush into their room to wake them up for the first time. She carefully got up from her bed, not trying to wake up her fiance. She looked at a nearby note on top of Robin's desk. "I'm headed out. Gonna be in the Ylssean castle for a while, so be back in a bit. Love you guys" Lucina read out loud. She looked at the back of the note where she saw a small little drawing of both her and Robin sleeping happily.

Lucina grinned. Morgan really is something. She heard the sound of sheets rustling. She looked next to her where she saw the tactician slowly begin to wake up. He softly opened his eyes as he looked at the princess. "Hey, good morning…" Robin said with a weak smile.

"Good morning, dear." Lucina replied as she softly pecked the man's lips.

The man looked around. It was a bit too quiet. "I know what you're thinking." Lucina said to him. "I was a little bit surprised when Morgan didn't come barging into our room as well." Lucina chuckled. She handed him the note.

He read the note and smiled. "We got so used to having her wake us up, that we weren't able to get up by ourselves." Robin laughed.

"We're losing our sleep schedule to this time of peace, it seems. Not that there's anything wrong with this." Lucina said with a smile.

Robin smiled back. "Yeah. This is nice. A peaceful life." Robin said to her. They looked at one another with genuine smiles. They were together, and they didn't need to worry about preventing Grima's catastrophe any longer.

A rumble could be heard coming from the tactician's stomach. "If Morgan's gone, I'm guessing we're making our own breakfast this time." He said.

"It looks like it. Perhaps we're relying on her a bit too much." Lucina giggled.

"She's spoiling us. It really should be the other way around." Robin joked.

The couple both prepared to get themselves ready for the day. The princess walked into the bathroom where she looked at herself in the mirror. She still looked like the same person she knew. The princess of the future. She fixed her long hair and placed her tiara on her head. She walked downstairs to the kitchen where she saw the tactician with a frying pan and eggs in hand.

"That was certainly fast of you." Lucina said to him.

"More like awfully slow of you." Robin teased.

Lucina chuckled. "It's a bit too early for this. Let's just get our breakfast done." She responded with a grin. She then remembered something. The peaceful dream she had. "Oh, Robin. Would you mind talking about something?"

"Of course, what is it?" He asked.

"It's about this dream I had."

"Not a bad one I hope." Robin responded, seriously.

"No, no. It was a good one, surprisingly. We were at those hot springs again, and we had a little girl with us. We were happy together, all just relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It was sweet." Lucina said with a smile.

"Our little Morgan." Robin smiled as well. "Do you… think we're ready for that?" Robin asked.

"I don't believe so, no. There's much we need to figure out before that happens. But still, it is nice to think about sometimes." Lucina said.

"It really is." Robin said to her with a smile. "Speaking of hot springs though, would you like to go once more? Anna's been offering me a few sales on vacations since I got here."

"I believe it'd be nice. Spending time with everybody once more and relaxing." She said.

"Well, what if it was just us two?" Robin said with a smile. "I don't think we've been on a date since I got here."

"Huh, you're right. We've been so busy with the new house we haven't gone anywhere together. I think it would be a great idea." Lucina said gladly.

"I'll ask Anna the next time I see her in the markets then. Just know that you won't catch me off guard this time." He said with a sly smile. "You're awfully aggressive under the right circumstances."

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about." Lucina responded, a blush visible on her face.

Morgan grabbed a piece of pie and ate it alongside a glass of milk. "It's so good!" She said happily.

The young Lucina did the same thing and grabbed a piece of pie, and ate it. "So damn good!" She said loudly.

Sumia looked at the girl with widened eyes. "L-Lucy?! What did you say?" She asked.

The young Lucina looked at her mother with a confused expression. Morgan signaled at her with a panicked expression. A G! A G! She yelled out in her mind.

Lucina understood what she meant. "Oh! I said dang. With a G!" She replied.

"O-oh. For a second I thought you said something else." Sumia said with a nervous laugh.

"Hehe, that Lucy. Always quick on learning things." Morgan said nervously. "A-anyways, let's change the topic. Let me wrap up the story real quick, shall I?"

"Hooray!" Lucina said excitedly.

"Ahem. Alright. So both your big sis and Robin got engaged! Now this usually meant that they should find a child from the future, but this time was weird. None of Lucina's friends knew if Robin had a child in the future. Not only this, but they knew who was supposed to marry who. Robin married somebody from the future. They really had no idea if they were going to run into a future child or not. So they all assumed they wouldn't find one. Spoiler alert, they sort of did." Morgan said with a witty grin.

"What happened, what happened?" Lucina asked.

"They went on to the Ruins of Time. They went there to look for an artifact called 'Naga's Tear.' It was supposed to be a really strong item that would have helped out greatly. But they would run into a strange girl. She was unconscious, and was also surrounded by risen. Robin quickly setup a strategy to get to her and keep her safe. He and your big sis sliced up through all the zombies as they rushed towards the girl. They found themselves getting surrounded, but fortunately, your aunt Cynthia and Uncle Inigo both came in to help. They helped the helpless girl back to safety as Robin and your big sis kept them safe."

"I didn't know Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Inigo helped!" Lucina said to her.

"Hehe, sorry. I should've mentioned them before. Anyways, they brought the girl back to safety, and they asked her a few questions. The girl was confused. She thought she was with her father, but now she was in a weird icy battlefield. Still, she did answer a few things. She was a tactician-in-training, and her father was the heroic tactician of Ylisse. She was the daughter of Robin, and her name was Morgan." She said proudly.

"They found their daughter!" Lucina said happily.

"Darn right! And not only that, but she also brought another thing. Your aunt Cynthia saw the Falchion on the floor and she thought that your papa Chrom dropped it. It wasn't until we got back to Ylisse did we find out that it wasn't his. It was a third Falchion. The Falchion from my world. The sword that belonged to my mother." She said with a weak smile.

Lucina looked at Morgan with a curious expression. "Morgan, what was your world like?" She asked.

Morgan looked at the girl as she began to think. "Well, it was kinda like your big sister's. It was one where the big mean dragon won. I wanted to change that so I went back to the past to stop him. I lost my memories when I did that though, so for a while I was an amnesiac."

"Anesia. Anesiam. Anesiac. Am. Amnesiac!" Lucina said excitedly.

"You really do learn quickly." Sumia said, proud of her daughter. She then looked at a nearby clock. "Oh, Lucy it's getting close to your nap time. You're done with your milk, so let's get going."

"But I'm not tired!" She said. She began to yawn and tried to cover her mouth. "T-that was me faking it!"

"Hey, I'll continue the story some other time, kay? If you don't go to sleep, you might not get as tall and beautiful like your big sister!" Morgan said to her.

"Fine." Lucina pouted. "But you have to promise!"

"You have my word." Morgan replied with a smile.

Lucina smiled. "Alright! See you later Morgan!" She said.

"We'll see you another time, okay Morgan?" Sumia said with a smile as she waved.

"Yeah, of course!" Morgan replied as she waved goodbye as well. They turned their backs and walked back to their room.

You have to promise me, Morgan!

I… I will. You have my word, Lucy.

Morgan quickly shook her head. Are you serious? Why am I remembering this stuff now?!

"Morgan? Are you okay?" A voice said behind her.

She looked around and saw the blue haired lord walk towards her. "Oh, what's up Chrom?"

"Not much, really. I should be the one asking that question though. You alright?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it. Just got a bit of a fever. Headaches kinda being a pain in the butt." She said with a laugh.

"I see. Still, would you do me a favor and come with me? There's something you need to see." He said to her.

Morgan looked back with a confused look. "Erm, yeah sure. Is it serious?"

"That's what I want to find out." He responded. "It's easier to show you than to try and explain."

Chrom walked with Morgan to the castle courtyard. He brought out his Falchion. "Woah, if you're asking me to spar with you, it'd be fair if I got my Falchion too." Morgan joked.

"Maybe you should take a look at your sword soon." Chrom replied. He unsheathed the sword. A bright glow could be immediately seen on the sword's hilt.

Morgan looked at the sword with confusion. "It's glowing? But why?"

"I was sort of hoping you'd know the answer." Chrom sighed. "Frederick told me it just started glowing this morning. I'm not sure if you remember, but the last time this happened was when Lucina first revealed herself to us. Even then, that only lasted for a few seconds. My Falchion has been glowing for a few hours at this point."

"Guess that Falchion of yours has some crazy stamina huh?" Morgan joked once more. Chrom stared at her with a serious expression. "S-sorry, not the time."

"Again, I just want to ask you this. Do you know of any reason at all that may be causing this? Anything weird happening in your home or with Lucina?" Chrom asked her.

Morgan began to think of her dream and the quick flashback she had in the dining hall. But… that doesn't mean anything. Right? It's all just a big coincidence. "Nope. Got no idea. I could ask my mother if you'd like. She might know." Morgan replied.

Chrom sighed. "Please do. I'll see you around though, alright? I have a few meetings to get to." He said with a weak smile.

"Don't work too hard, alright? I could get father to come back and be your advisor again if you'd like." Morgan said to him. He seemed a bit stressed out and tired at the moment.

"Maybe soon. He needs to enjoy some time with Lucina first before I get him to work for me again." Chrom chuckled. "See you around, granddaughter." He said with a sly smile.

"And I'll see you around, gramps!"

Morgan walked out towards the entrance. There were just ordinary pegasus knights guarding the gates. She walked past them and aimed towards the markets. Still, Chrom's sword did make her wonder. Was something causing this? There's a chance her sword was glowing too and she hadn't noticed it. It wouldn't surprise her, especially since both her and Lucina have both of their swords hidden in their house. Gods, why am I even thinking this? It's all a big coincidence. It has to be… it has to be…

A/N: Chapter two here with a bit more setup again, and next chapter is where stuff will finally take off. I like the idea of Morgan being able to wield the Falchion since she does have Ylissean blood after all. Either that or being able to use the Naga tome. Still though, how does she have a Falchion herself? Gonna answer that within the next few chapters. Getting closer to the big flashback of her past.

My bad for the delay though. Currently have a summer class, have lots of plans in between and draw in my spare time too. Gonna be trying my best to upload bi-weekly though and on lucky weeks, maybe a chapter a week. It all depends.

Also haven't replied to reviews so my bad on that too. Gonna be posting my replies here just other people see my response and stuff.

Grand Paladin Tyrux - Honestly, Little Lucina is super fun to write on haha. It's such a funny concept that Morgan's mom is both an adult and a child at the same time so there's lots of fun stuff to write. Gonna try to include these type of interactions later on, but for now it's coming to a close.

Half-beastdragonsoul2013 - Soleil and Ophelia are definitely making appearances later on. This also means that their parents are slightly older than Lucina now since they've been to fateslandia, so Cynthia technically isn't a little sister anymore. I'll get a chapter on them soon though!

And that's that. Again, hoping to upload bi-weekly so I'm hoping I keep my word this time. I'll catch you all later then. Have a good one!
