When Chrom woke up Lucina was cooing in his arms and playing with his top. He didn't know how long he had been sleeping but from the looks of the sun it was probably early morning. He looked at Lucina into her eyes and smiled, he wished so deeply he could share this moment with his wife. "Father?" At the door stood his elder Lucina, he smiled. "How can I help?" She walked in the nursery and looked around with a little smile on her face. "I have so many fond memories of this room, it was turned into my bedroom when I got older, I didn't want a different room. I liked that it was so close to you and mother. But…" she looked down, thinking that what she said may have upset her father. "What's your favourite memory in here?" Chrom looked at Lucina and smiled. "When I started my studies, I started to mess around and get in trouble. I wanted to train, not learn. So, when you and mother heard you came in. Mirriel had had enough of my misbehaving. You came in and told Mirriel she could leave. I thought I was in so much trouble. Then you and mother took me outside for training. We had so much fun. You and I teamed up against mother. She won though. You both said that it was because she studied more. Because mother had both learning and physical training she could win. Since that day, I made sure to study hard."
"Don't cry Lucina." The tears where falling onto the floor and Lucina just stood there. Chrom wanted to get up and comfort her but Lucina in his arms had fallen asleep. "I was always a daddy's girl. Ever since I was young. But mother never resented me for it, she loved me so much and never let me down even though I never sought her approval or… She was always easy to talk to, and I Knew she hated those dresses but she still wore them for me. I miss her so much." Lucina started to sob. "I miss her too. I don't know how I'm going to raise Nia alone. I was never the parent. Emmeryn was the mothering one, so is Lissa. I was always the warrior. Robin was such a caring person, she would have been a great mother." Lucina looked at her father, "You were great, I couldn't have asked for a better father. Maybe you were away more than I would have liked, but when I got older I understood why." They both smiled and then looked at the sleeping child in chrom's arms. "She has a bright future now and that's thanks to mother. Even if she isn't here she is a wonderful mother because she did what any parent should do. She ensured her child's future."
"Thank you Lucina." A small knock came to the door, Lucina gestured for them to come in. Inigo walked in and bowed to Chrom. He looked to Lucina and smiled. "I just wanted to come and say that some of us guys from the future are leaving tomorrow. Now that the world is safe and we know we have a future for our selves better than the ones we had, we don't want to hang around. We will cause too many questions and don't want to prevent our own birth." Lucina looked down at the ground, Chrom noticed that she seemed to be upset that her comrades were leaving. "I know that Severa, Owain and I are heading East, it's not very well explored so thought we could make a name for ourselves. Cynthia, Kjelle and Laurent are going to travel and hone their skills together. They have said that they may return. Yarne, is wanting to travel to try and find some more people like him, he hopes that someone other than his mother and him must have survived. I believe Nah is doing something similar but she hopes to study with Tiki." Lucina gave out a slight sigh and then rose her head, she then started to speak. "Gerome and Noire are hoping to stay here, their parents are leaving so they shouldn't raise too many questions is they stay. And Brady is going to stay with Maribelle, so he shouldn't be too far away. It would be nice if we could all stay though."
"This isn't our time Lucina, we will see each other again. I want to see me as a child, I have some advice to give myself. But I don't want to prevent my birth but hanging around." He then lowered his head. "I hope this is okay with you Chrom." Chrom smiled, he knew his daughter wouldn't like his answer but it is the only one he could give "You are all grown adults, who have survived a terrible future and created a better one for all our children. This kingdom owes you, no matter what you do you have my blessing. And I wish that you all return at least for a visit and stay safe."
Lucina looked a little betrayed by this but Chrom knew this was the best choice to make and she would appreciate it in the future. Inigo bowed once again and then left, Chrom noticed that before he departed he took a final glance at Lucina who was watching him leave. "I'm going to take my leave father, hopefully I can get people to change their minds and stay." She then left. Chrom stood and placed the sleeping Lucina in the cot. He Kissed her on the forehead and then slowly closed the door. He thought it was about time that he dealt with issues relating to being the exalt.
