New AN: This is kind of nostalgic. Twenty chapters seemed like such a lot to me back then when I was writing this. Not sure if I could even call this twenty chapters since many of them were rather short. Hopefully the chapters will all increase in length and it'll go far beyond twenty.

AN: Oh my gosh...Chapter Twenty...I can't believe I have this many chapters already...granted some of them are shorter than the others...but still...This one is a longer chapter because of that though!

Huge apologies for not having anything up for a really long time. It's getting harder to write this story as school keeps getting harder. I also feel like I've hit a major writer's block.

But responding to the guest review: "More please!" Here's the next part.

Thanks to everyone who has liked this story so far... many twists are still to come and I hope that you will continue to enjoy this story as it progresses. First look into Lucina's point of view finally and an expanded look at Morgan's thoughts. So excited!

*Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem, Nintendo does. I just use to characters in my own creative story.

~Chapter Twenty~

~Robin~

Robin sighed to herself as she walked through the camp for a short evening walk. She had updated her spellbook with her daughter's notes and just got to know her children in general.

Morgan seemed harsh and commanding on the outside but he was truly a huge softie, especially when it came to his sister. He gave her everything and he worked himself as much as he could to prevent her from being hurt. She also found out that while Morgan was a talented mage and could do many spells, he preferred to fight enemies with his sword in hand. Try as she might, Robin had no success if getting Morgan to open up more about what happens in the future.

Melody was her own personality despite having no memories. The two best words that Robin could use to describe her daughter is exuberant and wacky. Even though Melody denies it, Robin knows that Morgan is wrapped around his sister's finger. Melody takes advantage of this and asks him a million questions, which will cause Morgan to plead that his mother save him. Robin can do nothing but laugh, mainly because Melody wouldn't stop with her questions even if Robin asked her to.

Robin smiled to herself as she pictured the scene in her tent just before she left on her walk. Melody had finally fallen asleep out of pure exhaustion, using Morgan's chest as a pillow. Morgan sighed but he couldn't be annoyed with his sister for too long and eventually fell asleep as well, with his arm wrapped protectively around Melody.

Robin's joyful thoughts of her children were interrupted by a hand pulling her off the path into the forest.

"Wha- Mmmph!" Robin exclaimed as her lips were covered with another pair of lips that could only belong to Chrom. His arms went around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Robin's hands balled themselves into fists and she put her fists on Chrom's chest in order to push him away from her. Her fists pounded against his chest, trying to get Chrom off of her. This was a difficult task as Chrom had her back pushed against a tree. Robin kept trying and finally Chrom kissed her lips one more time and then pulled away, chuckling quietly.

He leaned in close to Robin and whispered in her ear, "I'm happy... I knew that... you still loved me..."

'What? Where is he getting this? I mean it's true but I've been hiding it rather well...wait...did he meet Morgan and Melody? Does he know he's the father...'

Robin blushed a little as she remembered that passionate night from two years ago. The blush spread along her cheeks and it only made Chrom smile more.

"I met our son and daughter earlier today," Chrom whispered to her. "Morgan and Melody are beautiful and powerful, just like their mother."

Robin stared at Chrom with wide eyes.

'He did meet the twins...Ahh where is this going to go from here...how did Chrom even find out he was their father anyway...'

"How do you know they are yours?" Robin asked.

"I challenged Morgan to a duel earlier this morning," Chrom replied. "He is quite the swordsman and Melody is a very talented mage. Very much like two people I know very well."

"I am sure they are very talented, their father Terrance from the other timeline must have taught them," Robin said, hoping to pass it off to Chrom that her friend from the village, Terrance, was the father.

Chrom smirked and said, "Unless this Terrance is my long lost relative then he is most definitely is not the twins' father. I saw Morgan's brand Robin. Only the House of Ylisse has those brands."

'Crap. He did see Morgan's brand...What do I do?'

Chrom came closer to Robin and leaned forward so that he was so close that a few more centimeters would make their lips touch. "I love you, Robin."

It was such a simple sentence, it was only three words long, but it was enough. The tactician's defenses fell and she gave in to what her heart had been wanting, needing since the night she left him. Robin leaned forward the extra centimeters and met Chrom's lips in a kiss.

~Chrom~

Chrom was surprised when Robin closed the distance between them and met his lips with a light kiss. Chrom eagerly responded, deepening the kiss and exploring Robin's mouth with his tongue. He kissed her until he was forced to pull away for a breath. Robin was breathing hard as she tried to catch her breath. Chrom bent down and planted kisses up and down her neck.

He listened to Robin's soft quiet moans as he nipped her neck lightly and then licked it immediately afterwards. Then Chrom quickly recaptured Robin's lips as he pushed his body up against hers. Robin's back was against the tree and Chrom could feel himself getting hard.

The prince wanted to relieve this pressure and his hands went immediately to Robin's coat and he started tugging it off of her. He had dealt with this tension for two years and he needed to release it. However, the passionate couple was unaware that they had an audience of two.

~Lucina~

Lucina had finished eating her dinner that Olivia had prepared in the mess tent about two hours ago. After she finished checking up on the weapons in the supply tent, Lucina walked by her father's tent, hoping to ask her father for a quick sparring match. However, her father wasn't in his tent and as she walked around camp, Lucina couldn't find her father anywhere.

During her search, Lucina heard a small sound that sounded like a woman screaming. She ran toward it immediately with her Falchion out, thinking that maybe Olivia or her aunt Lissa got surprised by a stray Risen that snuck into camp. Lucina followed the sound into the forest that was nearby the camp and raced through the trees.

The princess was stopped in surprise when she saw a familiar flash of short blue hair. It was her father, perfect timing, her father must've heard the scream as well and could help her route the stray Risen. However, as Lucina kept walking towards her father, she noticed that Chrom was not alone. The princess saw that the figure was a woman and tried to peer closer at the pair.

'Is father just talking to mother? Did he surprise her with something and that was a surprised scream? If so I have got to see this... In the future mother and father were too stressed to be romantic around each other.'

Lucina hid herself behind a nearby tree in order to observe the scene without being noticed by the pair. However, as the princess peered closely at the pair she noticed the woman had bright purple hair and was most definitely not her mother.

She stared in disbelief as she realized that her father and the woman kissing, and quite passionately too. Her father had the woman's back pushed against a tree and the two seemed to have their tongues down each other's throats.

'What is going on? How dare this woman get in the middle of my family? Why are you kissing him, you marriage destroying harpy?! My father is a married man! ...NO WAY! Is that her?'

Lucina looked closer at the figure that was sharing a passionate moment with her father and the princess saw the regrettably familiar cloak with distinct golden markings.

'It is her! The tactician...ROBIN! ...Lucina had sensed some tension during the encounter when Lucina first revealed her identity to her father...She had caught those looks that her father gave the tactician and the sad glance that her mother gave to the pair...So this is what is going on... Father is having an affair with that woman...'

Lucina found herself frozen to her spot at the news and she could do nothing but watch as her father broke the kiss with Robin to plant kisses up and down the tactician's neck. The princess couldn't look away as her father resumed kissed Robin and Lucina felt like she might faint when her father started to tug the tactician's cloak off of her.

'What is he doing? Does he love Robin that much? Are they going to...to...to...do it...here?! I can't allow that...But what can I do to solve this...THINK LUCINA THINK! You have to solve this issue so that Cynthia never has to know this terror, this hatred, this confusion...'

The princess herself was unaware that there was another person watching this scene. The other audience member was feeling just as much horror as the princess was but for entirely different reasons.

~Morgan~

Morgan had woken up and wasn't sure what time it was but knew he hadn't been asleep for long since it was still dark outside the tent. He felt a familiar weight on his chest and looked down at his twin sister with a smile. Even though she had lost her memories, his sister's habit of using him as a human pillow hadn't changed. Morgan glanced over to the other side of the tent where his mother's cot was and was alarmed to see that his mother wasn't sleeping in it.

'What happened?! Where is she? ...Calm down, Morgan, she probably just went for a short walk or went to use the restroom...She'll be back in a few minutes...'

Morgan waited, watching the entrance of the tent for his mother to appear. However, when she didn't come back for quite a while, Morgan knew he had to search for her.

'I have to make sure that she is alright...'

Morgan quietly and softly got out from underneath his sister and drew up the blanket onto her tiny form. She stirred a little bit but she didn't wake up which Morgan was grateful for. Melody deserved a little sleep and Morgan was probably just being paranoid about the situation. Morgan grabbed his steel sword and slipped his spell book into the pouch at his hip, just in case.

Morgan didn't want to use his magic, as he preferred his sword but still kept a tome around for emergencies. If Melody used up all the spells in her spellbook, which was rare, Morgan would have a tome for her to use. As twins, the way they wrote their spells were identical so either of them could use the other's equipment. He also brought it along in case he faced an enemy that had a strong defense against his sword.

He made sure to grab his coat as to hide his brand so his secret wasn't spread around. Even if his father knew the truth, Morgan wasn't eager for the rest of the Shepherds to know of his parentage.

Morgan stepped out of the tent, checking one last time that Melody was sleeping soundly and then went to look for his mother. After a couple of minutes of looking, he heard a small surprised sound that sounded like his mother. He raced towards the sound with his steel sword out and gleaming and dashed through the trees. Morgan was halted in his tracks immediately as he saw the scene before him. His father had his mother pushed against a tree and the prince was kissing her passionately.

'How dare he? How dare he? My mother is confused as it is about her feelings and she doesn't need you forcing a relationship onto her...If she doesn't want to be with you anymore how dare you force her.'

Morgan was positively fuming at his father for having any contact with his mother. The young man could tell just from the situation, since his father had married another woman, the prince couldn't be together with his mother in public. Chrom would break down his mother's defenses, using the feelings that she still has for him, and love Robin with all of his might. However, it would only last for that one night.

Duty and law required that his father not openly reveal the affair and Chrom would be forced to stay away from Robin in public. The prince would have to ignore her and this would just break his mother's heart into a million pieces again. He couldn't accept that his father was just repeatedly hurting his mother.

Morgan's anger grew as his father kissed his mother's neck and then her lips once more. The young man's jaw twitched angrily when he noticed that his father was tugging his mother's coat off of her.

'Trying to make love to my mother...just to satisfy your desires...just to satisfy yourself of the pain you caused due to your mistake...that is an even worse offense...You may be a brilliant warrior but I can't stand by and watch you hurt my mother, you...you...you evil, lying, bastard!'

Morgan's grip on his sword tightened and he was inclined to running over to his father and forcing him away from his mother. The young man heard a strangled noise from nearby and looked up. He noticed a figure watching the same scene as he was from the other side behind a another tree. Morgan looked at the young woman closely and saw the blue hair that matched his father's and he immediately knew who it was. It was HER.

'Why is she here?!'

The other child, his father's daughter from that other woman. The older of the two daughters that were his step-siblings. Morgan would never accept them as family. They were the solid, living, breathing proof that his father had left his mother and married another woman. Lucina was standing behind her tree and seemed to be holding her version of their father's sword Falchion, from her future.

Morgan observed Lucina's rage that was clear in her face and traced the princess' cold gaze to his mother. Lucina looked like she wanted to attack Robin and Morgan wasn't going to let her. Lucina seemed to glow a little and Morgan recognized it as the activation of a unique skill of the House of Ylisse, Aether. With what his mother was wearing now, the blow from the princess' blade would kill his mother.

And Morgan as the older sibling and the rightful heir to the throne could not allow his mother to be killed by the younger princess who had no claim to the throne whatsoever.

Morgan reluctantly activated the skill that he had inherited from his father, Rightful King. This raised the activation rate of the skill that he learned from his mother, Ignis, by ten percent. He felt Ignis activate and he burst forward with a cloud of cherry blossoms, his steel sword out, shining brightly.

Morgan dashed forward and roared loudly as he intercepted Lucina's blade with a loud clang.

'You will never hurt my mother!'

AN: Oh my goodness! My longest chapter in a while...about 2,800 words...I'm so proud of myself. I had this idea suddenly today and it finally gave me the material to write this chapter.

I also think that this is the best cliffhanger that I have come up with in a while. Don't worry I'll get the next chapter up soon, and this time I seriously mean it.

See all of you later! Thank you for the reviews and your love for my story.

Side Note: My second story, So this is What Love is?, will be published soon. This one takes the viewpoint of the M!Robin and is something I can work on if I run into writer's block on this story. An Unusual Twist will still be my main story but check out my other one as well!

Love you all! Byeeeeee!
