Fiona was standing in the gardens. It was raining heavily but she didn't care. She liked the way it washed away her worries when she was younger but now she had a reason to revel in it once more. She felt saddened inside because some strange demonic creature had shown up and cursed her husband with an incurable illness.
She felt like it was her fault that it happened. Lillian watched as her daughter stood in the rain with her eyes closed, her ears drooping sadly. She entered the gardens listening to Fiona talking about her decision she had to make because of Procastus. Tears ran down her face as she thought about it deeply. "Are you okay?" she asked her. Fiona whirled around at this. She was surprised to see her mother standing before her. "Not really Mom. I feel like it's my fault thjat demon made Shrek ill! I never should've brought him or the kids here. I can't think straight! That freaky demon said I had to choose between the kingdom and my husband and I'm confused. I can't lose the one I love and put the kingdom in bad hands for you and Dad! I can't decide!" she told her worriedly. Lillian understood and smiled warmly.
"Don't worry honey! The kingdom's doing fine. But I can feel in your heart of hearts that your husband means so much more to you than it seems but your judgement is clouded at the minute but I know you'll do what's right for you, I just know." She said to Fiona. She then went back into the castle. Fiona then looked at the night sky and the stars were coming out. She smiled sadly at that. Lillian then went into the suite Fiona and her family were staying in. She saw Shrek lying in bed in immense amounts of pain and it hurt her to watch. "Please let him live for Fiona's sake! He's the only thing more important to her than the kingdom." She said softly as she left the room. She then went to her and Harold's room. Suddenly Fiona came in silently. "Mom I need to talk to you! But not here! I don't want Dad to hear." She said quietly. She then went into the gardens and Lillian followed her. "I've been thinking and I've came to a decision and I hope you can be happy for me!" she told her.
"What've you decided?" Lillian asked curiously. "I decided to choose… my husband! When I was out here thinking, memories came flooding into my mind, memories of the time my True Love and I spent together made me feel happy but then I thought about if I hadn't chosen my husband , I would be very sad and it will feel like a part of me had died." She said to her. Lillian smiled. "I'm glad about your decision because your husband's in very bad pain right now and besides your father and I can take care of the kingdom along with your father no matter what happens." She said to her as they walked back into the castle. She hoped the demon would reverse what he'd done now that his friends's son could rule even though her daughter was almost hurt by it. Fiona then walked into the room and slipped into bed. Shrek opened his eyes. "Hey honey where did you go off to?" he said to her. She smiled at this. "I decided not to help the kingdom but keep you with me." She told him softly as they hugged. They fell asleep in each other's arms. Procastus was watching this. "How sweet! But it'll be more sweeter to watch him suffer as revenge for what happened to me!" he said as he glowed. He then recited a few words as he watched the sleeping couple. Suddenly Shrek groaned in pain as something hit him in the chest. Fiona woke up at this. She saw tears in his eyes as he fell onto the floor.
