My name is Stahl. Many know me because I am a shepherd. Some say I don't act nearly as heroic as I should. I don't think I do anything truly, that special anyways. So why act like a hero when I'm not. I'm not nearly as important as Frederick or Robin is to this army. I'm just doing my job and having some great meals along the way. I'm a soldier, and a friend to many of the other shepherds. I must say this has all been perfect. Well besides the risen and the lost homes, but I can look past that, to my friends. This has really been a great ride.
I smile as I approach my house. I'm rarely ever here but it'll always be home. As I open the door the first to greet me was Morgan. I smile and hug him. "Are you visiting? What a surprise." I say enthusiastically. I pat his head and he nods with his mouth already stuffed with food. I walk past him, allowing him to return to his meal. Ami was walking through the bedroom entrance to smile at me. Morgan hugs me from behind as Ami greets me with a hug of her own. I wrap my arms around them and squeeze until both were spurting out air pretending they couldn't breath.
"So what is the occasion?" I ask Morgan as I take a seat in the chair sitting by the hallway.
"We have some special news to give you." Ami gently pushes the topic. Okay, whenever she approaches a topic like that there is always something up. I look past Morgan to his mother. She was choosing to hide behind her ponytail instead of answering my questions.
"Which is?" I ask with a laugh and a nervous smile.
"Father I am to be married!" Morgan announces. The boy was practically bouncing off the back of his heels now.
"Well now, is that all?" I ruffle his hair. "My little boy is all grown up now." Of course he is. I always knew the day would come but I had forgotten how old Morgan really was. As long as he's happy.
"Yep!" He was giggly now.
"So when do I get to meet this special person?"
"Hopefully tomorrow night. I wanted to break the news to you guys first."
"Fair enough. I can't wait to meet them, son."
"That is not all of whom you should be excited to meet." Ami adds.
"Is it not?" Now I was confused.
"Stahl, I'm pregnant."
Quickly I am off of my feet and sweeping her into my arms. Her hair falls into my face and I blow it away. I spin her around as I exclaim, "That's wonderful!" Heh I guess we'll finally be able to raise our son now.
