A/N - Last chapter! *sniff sniff* I'm going to cry! I want to start thanking people now, unfortunately there are so many of you that you're going to have to read my thank you note at the end!
Chapter 27
The weeks flew by and the Rogue continued the same. Except for the sudden increase in young servant boys who wished to become a thief, or just escape from their masters, things were somewhat normal. There was one wedding in particular that the entire Rogue was happy about. For a week there was nothing but celebrating done. The wedding between Candle and Doll. It was quite unexpected by everyone in the Rogue, especially most of the younger boys who would have done anything to be in Candle's place.
Christian had returned in time for Candle's wedding, carrying with him his son, Gawayn. Everyone fell in love with the boy. When he was old enough to walk, Christian was hesitant about starting his training, but Heith was able to persuade him. Christian had help from Rovin, Noah and Candle in the different areas they had to cover. Rovin was in charge of teaching Gawayn to throw a dagger, and she did quite well at her job. Ryan and John departed a week after Christian had returned, borrowing horses from Heith in order to ride to Pearlmouth. Ryan told Rovin to inform him the minute she and Noah stopped bickering long enough so he could propose. She had laughed at this and cast a worried sideways glance to Noah, who stood shaking hands with his brother, she was definitely not ready for marriage.
Everything went back to normal in the Rogue, including the way Rovin and Noah treated each other. He was still the same arrogant seventeen-year-old who loved pestering Rovin, and she was still disgusted in the way he acted. The only difference was that while a lot of what they yelled at each other, they meant, a good part of it was just for fun and meant squat. Rovin and Noah were officially seeing each other, but they didn't act like it in public, and Rovin still refused to sleep with him until they were married. The only problem was that neither Rovin nor Noah wanted to rush into a marriage. Rovin's excuse was that she was still young, and she didn't want to be tied down by children, and Noah's excuse was similar.
The arrival of Doll's first child came a year after she and Candle were married. Yet another boy was added to the Rogue family. There was lots of celebrating the night he was born.
Finally after three years of being together on and off, and constant petty bickering, Noah proposed to Rovin, and they immediately sent thieves out to track down Ryan. Once Ryan and John had been found, they sailed into the closet port and dragged their entire crew to Rovin and Noah's wedding. The wedding was held in the crowded inn. Gawayn and Candle's boy Jeff insisted on being part of the wedding, so there were allowed to stand by Noah and hold the rings. After the wedding there was dancing and free ale, Noah had been grinning the entire time, and even more later. Their first child came ten months later, three days after Candle's second son was born.
The boy had been named Nicholas
The girl was to be named Alexandria
Who knows what could happen next…
