Well, we've reached the penultimate chapter. Almost done!


Sully sighed as she stood on the castle balcony looking out over the horizon. Ever since Robin's disappearance after Grima's defeat she had done something like this every night. Before she used to look for Robin herself. She spent the first month or so travelling wherever she thought she might find him.

A small kick in her stomach reminded her why she didn't do that anymore.

She looked at her now very pregnant stomach. It was long after Robin's disappearance that she found out she was pregnant with their first child. Once Chrom found out, he insisted that she give up her questing and focus on taking care of herself until the baby was born. Sully hated to admit it, but Chrom actually made a good point for once.

It didn't stop from keeping an eye out though.

"Hey." Sully looked behind her to see Chrom standing behind her "It's late. You should be asleep."

Sully rolled her eyes. "Thanks, Mom, I'll go to bed in a little bit."

"Watch your tone, young lady." The two friends shared a laugh. Chrom had been going out of his way to make sure Sully was as comfortable as possible. She had told him multiple times not to worry himself but he always replied that Robin would never forgive him if he didn't do everything to take care of her until his return. It was frustrating for both at first, but they eventually learned to make jokes out of it.

Chrom stepped up to the edge of the balcony and looked out at the horizon. "See him yet?"

Sully shook her head. "Not yet. He'd better show up soon though." She looked at her baby bump. "There's no way I want to try and be a single mom."

"Well, there are always those oh so charming suitors who'd love to take you under their wing."

Sully scoffed. "Like I'm going to be some pompous noble's trophy of a war he didn't even fight in. I don't think Kjelle and Morgan would forgive me if I let one of those louts court me either." She gave Chrom a suspicious look. "Did you have another one of them trying to come and see me."

Chrom sighed and nodded. "Yeah."

"And you told him to stick his proposal, right?"

"Firmly up his tight ass."

Sully chuckled and gave Chrom a hardy slap on the back. "Good man." Chrom winced at the sudden pain in his back but chuckled along with Sully. "If it wasn't for this kid, I'd give 'em a good beating myself." She gently patted her stomach.

"You think he'll be back in time?"

Sully shrugged. "I don't know. I know he'll be back. That's enough for me." She looked at Chrom suspiciously. "You don't doubt him do you?"

Chrom smiled and shook his head. "No. Robin's a master of doing the impossible. I just know he'd never forgive himself if he missed the birth of his first child."

"He'll have the rest of her life to make up for it."

"He'll probably spoil her silly if you let him."

Sully laughed. "Yeah, he might. Probably read tactical manuals instead of bedtime stories. Or give her strategy games instead of dolls." Her laughed slowly began to turn into light sobbing. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. "Ugh, that damned idiot. Making me cry like this."

Chrom frowned. "I miss him too, Sully." He gently patted her shoulder. "But don't give up hope. Not after all you two have been through together."

Sully managed to regain her composure. "I know. I won't. I'll wait as long as it takes for him to come back." She and Chrom looked back out at the horizon. "Even if it takes the rest of my life."
