Many Years Later…

Endymion held the small child within his arms as the midwives took care of his wife, Gioia. He could not believe he had found a woman upon his own planet that he loved more than the Queen of the Moon. Smiling down at the wailing child, he gently rubbed the back of his hand along his son's cheek which ceased his crying. Gioia now cleaned up reached for her two men as Endymion sat upon the bed beside her, giving her the small boy and kissed her upon her lips. "He is your son; I want you to name him mio amore." Endymion smiled upon hearing her native tongue, and nodded his head before answering her with a simple name, the name of his father. "Kreios."

The dark haired man placed his arm around the shoulders of a slender woman who stood beside him, a hand resting on her ever growing belly. He placed a soft kiss upon her cheek causing his silver haired beauty to smile at him with a hint of a blush reaching her cheeks. She nuzzled him then laid her head upon his shoulder as she watched a small boy who was the splitting image of the man she was resting upon, splash in the fountain to a small girl with bright blonde hair that curled under the summer heat. Their childish laughter could be heard from all around the large garden as they continued to splash around. The silver haired woman took hold of the man's hand and placed it upon her stomach. "Do you feel that? The baby is kicking." The man smiled feeling the little life within his wife's stomach. "She will beautiful just like her mother." The woman blushed and giggled softly as he placed a soft kiss upon her knuckles. "Oh Seiya." Bringing her attention back to the two children in front of her she took a step away from Seiya before calling out their names. "Amayah… Hiroki… come out of the fountain now… it is time to get ready for supper." The two sighed and climbed out of the fountain and ran into the palace but not before Seiya speaking up from behind them. "Do not run within the halls, you will fall." The two slowed their paces gloomily and Serenity placed her hand within Seiya's as they made their way to the dinning hall.

"Can we please sleep with you momma? Papa said it was up to you." Serenity looked up from her desk as she was reading a proposal her council had come up with when she was interrupted by her twins giving her a pleading look. Seiya stood behind them, his arms crossed within the doorway with a pleasant smirk upon his face. "Of course… go put your sleeping attire on and we will all sleep together." Serenity hugged the both of them before they ran out of the room, almost knocking over their father. Returning to her paper, Seiya's arms snuck around her waist, resting his palms on his stomach. "Come on my love, you should not stress yourself with the estate while you are with child. Let's go to bed."

Serenity smiled up at him, allowing him to lead her out of the office and into the bedroom where the children where already in the middle of the bed, giggling happily that they got to sleep in their parents overly large bed. Kissing both their foreheads, the couple smiled as they almost instantly fell asleep. Moving silently, they opened the double doors leading to the balcony where they spent most of their nights together. Serenity watched as Seiya sat upon the large chair and motioned for her to join him. Awkwardly sitting beside him at first she finally found a position that was comfortable for her and her stomach. Resting her head upon his shoulder she looked up to him placing her hand within his. "Seiya, I love you." Seiya, upon hearing his wife's words looked down at her once more and placed a kiss upon her lips. "I Love you too dumpling." A quiet gagging noise mixed with a louder giggle could be heard and the two separated and smiled at each other knowingly as they got up. "Hmm… I think I heard two little children out of bed." Serenity said to Seiya as he ran into the room picking up the twins and twirled them playfully in the air before letting them fall upon the bed. Laughing the three of them began to wrestle and tickle each other laughing loudly.

Resting her small hand upon her stomach she watched the scene with utter happiness written upon her face as the three people she loved the most continued to play on. Leaning upon the door frame she moved her glance to the heavens and smiled. "Thank you Selene." With that she walked inside before she too joined her family who now settled down. Lying down with her son beside her cuddled up to her his hand upon her stomach and she smiled as they both asked to be told a bed time story. "Let me tell you a story about a princess who ran away and a loyal warrior who followed her on her journey." The two nodded their heads quickly and settled in to listen to their mother's angelic voice. "Once upon a time…"
