AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

"...And they lived happily ever after. The End."

Shutting the storybook quietly, Mamoru smiled at his little girl. She had finally fallen asleep...after the seventh story.

Standing up and stretching, Usagi walked over to the crib where Mamoru was laying their daughter.

"Finally," she whispered. "I thought she'd never fall asleep."

Mamoru just nodded and pulled his wife close. Together, they gazed upon their sweetly sleeping princess.

"She's perfect."

Usagi nodded her agreement.

"Yes she is," she said, reaching around to hug her husband. "Just think, having her was truly the beginning of our happily ever after."

"No," Mamoru said, leading her out of the room. "The day that we met each other was the day we began our happily ever after."

"Oh, Mamo-chan,"

Kissing his wife tenderly on the temple, Mamoru took one last look at his daughter, and shut the nursery door.
