"I don't know if I keep doing this."

"You'll be able to, Wilson. It was just your first time. You'll get the hang of it.

Wickerbottom and Wilson were currently on their way to the portal, the man wearing a tired look on his face.

"I appreciate your confidence in me just… Me, a second in command diplomat for a world that I'm still just barely starting to understand along with so many others… What if I cause a mess?"

"You won't." Wickerbottom placed a hand on his shoulder. "I paid attention to how the others looked at you and I saw respect from them as you spoke your part in our dealings with them. Everything will be fine. There will be bumps but you will get a handle on it, I promise."

Wilson smiled, placing his hand over his grandmother's.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

"You're welcome." Wcikerbottom smiled. "Now, I believe you have a family to tend to. We'll worry about speaking with the other diplomats at a later date."

"Right. I'll be off then. What are you going to be doing?"

"I'm going to pay a visit the Fire Lands. Need to check in on our crew there."

"Of course. Tell them I said hello."

"I will. Now, go."

Wilson nodded, heading through the portal. He smiled, looking upon the ever growing village in the Light Dimension. People were happy at work or play, enjoying the beautiful weather of a summer day. He sighed in relief, happy to be back in the peacefulness of a place he now found himself happily calling home.

He made his way through the village, waving to those who greeted him till he finally reached his house.

"Willow! I'm home!" He called as he closed the door behind him.

"Welcome home!" Willow called from somewhere in the house. "Just tending to the garden!"

Wilson chuckled, starting to make his way there though stopped as he heard a soft whimpering. He quickly hung up his bag and hurried to another room where a crib was. There in the crib, was a little baby boy with messy brown hair, his amber eyes on the verge of tears.

Wilson frowned at this, reaching into the crib and pulling the baby into his arms.

"Oh sh sh sh… It's okay, Hayden." Wilson said softly, rocking the child. "No need for tears."

"Aguh." Hayden grabbed at his coat, sniffling a bit. "Bah."

"Shhh…" Wilson hummed softly. "I know, you're just waking up but you're okay and I'll get you some food too. Just please don't cry. It's breaks your father's heart when you do."

Hayden looked up at Wilson, hiccuping a little but his sniffling stopped. He cuddled up to his father, giving a pout.

"I know, little one, I know. C'mon." He carried him out, holding him close as he went to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle. "Here, got just the thing."

Hayden grabbed at the bottle as soon as it close enough, drinking the contents as quickly as possible, a happy look on his face. He calmed as he finished, sighing happily, cuddling up to his father.

"Aguh…"

"There we go." Wilson smiled, setting the bottle down, keeping Hayden close. "Let's go see your mother now."

"Bah."

Wilson headed into the garden, seeing Willow was gathering up some strawberries from the garden. He smiled, moving over quietly before bringing an arm around her, kissing her on the head.

"Hi." He whispered.

Willow giggled, kissing his cheek.

"Hi yourself." She grinned. "Finally done negotiating?"

"Yep. Not bad for my first run, according to Grandmother. The other diplomats seems to like me… Well, save Pugna but his son likes me at least so… I think that's something."

"Pugna's an old crankshaft, so it's best the son does like you. I do hope they are being nice or they'll get a flaming shoe to the face."

"T-They are. We're just mainly doing progress reports and letting others know if there is anything amiss. Few problems here and there but we're doing well. Still have to connect with the other dimensions. Working on it though."

"Good." Willow smiled, noticing Hayden was in Wilson's arms. "And I see our little flame is awake."

"Yep, he was crying for food when I walked in. I got it taken care of though."

"Thanks for that, I put him down for his nap a while ago."

"He was just waking up, guess he heard the door open."

Hayden giggled, reaching out for her.

"Aguh!"

Willow picked him up, holding him close.

"Oh my little boy. You're getting so big."

Hayden cuddled close, holding onto her shirt.

"Buwah."

"Wilson, look at him!"

"He's adorable!" Wilson said, laughing, kissing Hayden's head. "Our little boy."

Hayden squealed, nuzzling Wilson.

"Baba!"

"Hard to believe he's gonna be an adult eventually. I want him to stay little."

"I'm sure Hayden would disagree. Best to enjoy the time we have." Wilson ruffled his hair a bit.

"Baba."

Wilson smiled, bringing both his wife and child close.

"You know… being you with after all is said and done, really does make the days easier because I know I have you to come home to."

"Oh, Wilson." Willow kissed his cheek.

Wilson chuckled.

"Now… Where are our girls-"

"Papa!"

Wilson fell over as the twins tackled him, hugging him tightly.

"You're finally home!"

"You were gone for so long!"

Wilson laughed, hugging them both back.

"Sorry, lot of work had to be done. I promise this won't happy everyday."

"Good!" Wendy nuzzled him. "Having you gone all day is no fun."

"Not at all." Abigail said, pouting. "You'll read to us tonight?"

"Of course. Long as you don't' mind helping get your baby brother to bed."

"We never mind that!"

"He's our baby brother, why wouldn't we wanna help?"

Hayden giggled.

"Aguh! Bah bah!"

"Aww! There he goes being cute again!" Wendy moved away from Wilson, tickling the boy a little. "I swear he's the cutest baby brother ever."

"He's one of the best baby brother's ever." Abigail added, kissing Hayden's head.

"Heee!" Hayden giggled.

"Hey, Papa, can Uncle William and Auntie Charlie come over for dinner tonight? I'm sure Hayden would love to see his playmate." Wendy asked, batting her eyelashes.

Wilson got a knowing look.

"You just want to play with Rosie too, don't you?"

"Maaaaaaaaaaybe."

"But can't they, please?" Abigail gave another pout.

Wilson chuckled, patting their heads

"I'm not against it. Willow?"

"The more the merrier." Willow smiled. "I'll make some really good pasta with some garlic bread. Sound good?"

"Sounds wonderful." Wilson drooled a bit at the thought. "I haven't really eaten much today so something filling sounds amazing right about now and I'll help too."

"Good." Willow kissed his cheek. "I'll go get the kitchen ready. Girls? Can you keep an eye on your brother?"

"Yes, Mama!"

The girls hurried off with their brother into another part of the garden, getting some of Hayden's toys before playing with him.

Wilson chuckled, watching for a moment before turning his attention to Willow who was making her way inside. He snuck up behind her, bringing his arms around here, kissing her cheek.

"Well, you're extra cuddly today." Willow giggled, kissing his cheek in return. "What's the occasion?"

"Can a man just love his wife because she's just amazing in everyway?"

"Oh, you." Willow nuzzled. "I need to go to the kitchen now."

"One more minute, please." Wilson held her closer. "I missed my wife."

Willow rolled her eyes but couldn't help leaning back into him, sighing in content.

"You dork."

"Your dork."

Willow giggled, kissing his cheek again before parting.

"Come on, we got work to do."

Wilson nodded.

"That we do."

Like we always do.

Together.

THE END
