Epilogue
Four months passed and Spring had long ago given into the Summer. Now Summer was looking for the exit and temperatures began to cool. Not to Fall temperatures but less than the typical heat that radiated off the stone walks and streets.
Liam had proven to be a strong little one and had shown no ill effects from his early birth and now Rapunzel was packing him up for the trip to Camelot the next morning. She was trying to make sure she had everything when Eugene made his way into the baby's room.
"Blondie tomorrow is a big day. You really need to get some sleep," he said. He still leaned heavily on one crutch as the first fitting for a peg leg had not gone well. His wound was not hardened enough and he was in excruciating pain when he tried to walk. Doctor Caldwell said they would try again before winter set in and was constantly making sure no infection had found its way in.
"I can't forget anything this isn't some quick trip," she said.
"What are you going to forget that we can't get once we get to Camelot? Besides, with everyone keeping their eyes on him for the trip, he probably won't even get the chance to get dirty," Eugene smirked. Liam was constantly being handled, whether by his mother or his grandmother, or anyone else that he giggled at.
"I guess I'm just concerned is all. Especially since…" she trailed off and at first Eugene thought she was worried about his leg.
"Not to worry Blondie. I've got it covered. Doctor Caldwell says I can have that wheelchair I was using all that time ago," he smiled.
"I'm not worried about you. I…" again she trailed off, as if she was searching for the right words.
"What is it?" He asked growing concerned. She was about to answer when Pascal interrupted by squeaking something terrible.
"What is going on?" Rapunzel asked as she looked at her best reptilian friend. He went to the window and pointed out into the Royal Gardens, where the sound of Pauline squeaking could be heard.
"Oh goodness!" Rapunzel smiled as she quickly grabbed Pascal and they ran for the Gardens as Eugene struggled to keep up.
"This is so exciting!" Rapunzel smiled as she put Pascal down and watched as he snuggled up next to Pauline.
"Did I miss anything?" Eugene huffed and puffed as he stopped next to Rapunzel.
"Not yet," She smiled as she pointed to the little hole in the ground where the baby chameleons would be coming out.
"How many eggs did she lay?" He whispered so as not to hurt her feelings if not enough of them came out.
"Ten," Rapunzel reminded.
"Glad we can't do that," Eugene whistled at the thought of Rapunzel giving birth to so many little ones at once. She nodded and they watched as slowly but surely ten tiny little chameleons made their way to daylight.
"Look how cute they are!" Rapunzel smiled. Pascal's chest was all puffed out and Pauline was all smiles.
"We best get them into the castle. It'll be dark before you know it," Eugene said, looking at the setting sun. Pauline nodded and they quickly ushered the little ones into a basket that Rapunzel had specially made.
"Glad they came before we had to leave for the wedding," Eugene smiled.
"I am too. Our family keeps getting bigger," she smiled and absentmindedly put her hand on her stomach. Eugene gave her a look and shook his head, perhaps just a left over reaction since giving birth so early to Liam. After all they had just started back up with their bedroom fun time.
"Blondie…" he started.
"Doctor Caldwell confirmed it this morning," she smiled. Eugene beamed as he stopped in his tracks and used his free hand and pulled her close. They easily slipped into a kiss and it wasn't until Pascal chirped that they separated.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a daddy again," he smiled.
"I'm so happy," she smiled back at him.
"I never thought I'd get my happy ever after but here we are. I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Rapunzel smiled.
