Aw so once again we have come to the last chapter. Hey I said this would be nowhere near the length of the first one. I'm glad you all liked the fight scene so much too :) Soooo here we go!

Rise of the Guardians does not belong to me….but I heard they're not making a sequel! WTF?!

Chapter 8: Always

~~~North Pole~~~

It had been three days since Eris left. The world had resorted back to a much calmer state and everyone was comfortably recovering at the workshop. Nat had just finished feeding the twins and was resting comfortably with their son while Bunny gently bounced with their daughter.

"I'm tellin' ya Natty we got real lucky, I've never seen such easy kits before. They sleep when they should, eat when we should, we struck gold."

She laughed, "Well Patty's still here, maybe that's the reason."

But he shook his head, "Nah, it's cause they have such a calm mum like you." He came down and stole a kiss, making her giggle.

From a few beds down someone gagged, "Do you mind toning down all the mushy over there, some of us are trying to have conversations."

Nat stuck her tongue out at Cupid who was smiling, "Oh you love it and you know it." While he rolled his eyes his boyfriend kissed him for the thousandth time that day.

"So ya tell us ta tone it down yet your boy can kiss all he wants? I see how it is mate."

Angelus laughed heartily, a sound not too often heard, "I'm sorry Bunny, but can you blame me? He's just so kissable."

Bunny chuckled, "I think you're sleep deprived mate. Three days straight at his bedside and you're talkin' all sorts a nonsense."

"Hey!"

The four of them were laughing when the doors opened up and everyone was shuffled inside the infirmary. "Will you watch it Frost? Some of us are on crutches you know!"

The winter teen grinned sheepishly, "Sorry April." Once everyone was inside Jack stood by Tooth in front of everybody. "This will only take a second but we wanted to tell you all at the same time. This morning I asked Tooth to marry me, and she said yes. We're engaged!" Tooth then held up her hand and revealed the silver band on her finger with a diamond in the middle and sapphires on each side.

The room broke into cheers and hugs, especially Cupid, and when it all died down Patty asked, "So any idea on the date?"

Tooth answered, "Well we're going to wait just a few years, because we have the perfect candidates for flower girl and rig bearer right here." She then smiled in Nat and Bunny's direction, "So what do you say maid of honor?"

"Oh of course!" Nat squealed happily. North took the baby from her arms as all the girls huddled around the bed already making plans while the boys moved over to talk with Angelus and Cupid. Jack pulled Bunny aside.

"So Cottontail," he started, holding out his hands. He continued when Bunny placed his daughter into Jack's arms, "I…I was wondering if, well if you'd be my best man. Now I-I'm not asking because I was yours at your wedding but because, well, because you're my brother. And I've always kinda looked up to you….even when you're being a dumb kangaroo." He then repeated some words the pooka had told him decades earlier, "You may be a drongo sometimes, but we're family." Jack finally lifted his eyes off the baby, "So, will you be my best man?"

Bunnymund looked at him with an awed expression, he then cleared his throat and gently hugged the teen, being careful not to squish the infant between them, "A'course Snowflake. I'd be honored. And just ta be clear, I couldn' be more proud ta have ya as my little brother." He pulled away as Jack sighed softly in relief, the biggest smile on his face. A few feet over there was a collective "aww." Bunny rolled his eyes, "Bugger, now they'll think I'm goin soft."

Everyone laughed at that and Sandy made some signs, asking if the twins had names yet.

Nat shared a look with Bunny smiling, "Well of course they have names."

When she didn't continue North finally asked "Well?"

~~~~~~Five Years Later~~~~~

"A. Neron Bunnymund you stop chasing your sister right now or else!" High pitched giggling echoed in the Warren as the two skidded to a stop a few feet from their mother. Neron stood up and smiled, "Sorry mum, we were jus' having some fun." He had a trace of an Australian accent in his voice, though not nearly as heavy as his father's. "Besides, she tried pushin' me in the glitter river first!"

Bunny emerged from the cottage, wearing a suit jacket and smiling. "Sophia Grace is that true?"

The female pooka jumped into her father's arms giggling while she nuzzled his face, "Yes Daddy. But he didn' fall in, so I can't get in ta trouble."

"Think again young lady."

"Aw come on Natty," Bunny said after putting his daughter down, "They were jus' 'aving some fun," he kissed her, "Smile a little."

Nat brushed the fur off his jacket, "You try smiling when trying to coral three freshly cleaned kits to put on their clothes for a wedding that starts in just a few hours."

Bunny raised an eyebrow, "Three?"

In a fake aussie accent she replied, "This bloody suit is ridiculous I don' get why Frostbite's makin me wear it." Her imitation put the children into rounds of laughter and even Nat smiled when he pouted.

"Well it is, I'm a pooka, I don't wear suits."

"Well today you are, it's not about you." Nat kissed him softly, "But if it means anything I think you look handsome," she then brought her lips to his ear whispering ever so softly, "And I'll like it even more as I'm taking it off tonight."

Bunny's eyes widened and he smirked, "God I love you. And you look beautiful, in case I haven't told ya today."

She did a twirl in her light blue dress, the silver waistband shining in the light and her hair up in a mound of curls. "Why thank you." She turned to the kits, "Now about you two, how are you going to the wedding?"

Neron spoke first, "I wanna be pooka! So I can look jus' like Da." Nat didn't miss the pride that radiated from her mate or the smile that grew just a little bigger.

"Well alrigh' then anklebiter, let's go get yer jacket." As the two walked away Nat looked at her daughter, "What about you Sophie?"

She didn't skip a beat when she answered, "I wanna be a person! Otherwise my dress feels funny!"

Nat smiled, "Well go on then, you know what to do." Sophie closed her eyes and the air around her shimmered with sparkles. When they faded away a young human child stood before her, with white hair that was black at the tips. Not all of her was human though, she still possessed a fluffy tail and atop her head were still her pooka ears. It was a trick Bunny and Nat learned that both of their children could do. Depending on what they felt they could be either fully pooka or these mostly human hybrids. However they usually stayed in their pooka form most of the time. Not that Nat cared what they looked like, pooka or no they were the most beautiful children in her eyes.

"Alright sweetie let's go get your dress on, we have a wedding to get to." Nat said taking her daughter's hand and leading her to the cottage.

~~~~~Later~~~~~

"Tooth, all my life I had been alone, and I thought I'd be that way forever. But then I was lucky enough to meet you, to find you, and I know now that I was incomplete without you. I would have waited three thousand years if it meant ending up where I am today, beside you, and moments away from calling you my wife. You know things about me that no one else knows about, and somehow you still love me. You're my everything Tooth. I love you, and promise to always be there for you, to take care of you, and never stop loving you." Jack smiled down at his beautiful bride in her elegant white ball gown, with off the shoulder sleeves and embellishments trailing down to the bottom. Her eyes were dazzling as she gazed at her groom with pure love in her eyes.

"Jack, I know sometimes you think I only found you attractive because of your teeth. Which of course is not entirely true. When I'm with you all my worries fall away, you keep me grounded when my mind is everywhere. You taught me how to have fun again, and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be half the tooth fairy I am today. I know I've apologized before about not being there for you in the beginning, and just thinking about what you've been through breaks my heart. But I promise that you will never have to go through that ever again. You'll never be alone, you'll never be invisible to me, and you'll always have my love." Jack's eyes sparkled with tears as North spoke.

"Do you, Jackson Overland Frost, take this beautiful creature to be your wife? To have and to hold for the rest of eternity?"

Jack looked lovingly into Tooth's eyes and wiped away the tear that had started to fall down her cheek, "I'm pretty sure I just said that in the vows North." Everyone laughed as he continued. "I do."

"And do you, Toothiana, Queen of the Fairies, take this man to be your husband? To have and to hold for the rest of eternity?"

Her smile brightened when Jack flashed a grin of sparkling white teeth and her hands squeezed his, "I do."

North smiled and announced, "Then it is my great pleasure to pronounce you man and wife. Jack, kiss your bride."

"Don't have to tell me twice," Jack said as he dipped Tooth and kissed her passionately on the lips. Applause and laughter broke out and from the open window the wind swirled happily around the newlyweds.

The reception took place in the ball room of the workshop, and everyone happily ate and danced away the evening. Nat and Bunny were dancing happily while Sam and Patty entertained the children. "Remember when it was our wedding?" Nat asked softly.

"Like it was yesterday love," Bunny replied easily. His gazed rested on the kits dancing with his friends, "I don' say this nearly enough, but thank you Natty."

She pulled her head from his shoulder to look at him, "For what Aster?" He cupped her cheek with his paw.

"Fer the kits, for givin' me back a family, for lovin' me."

Nat smiled and touched his forehead with hers, "That's like thanking me for breathing. You're all that I am Aster, and I'll always love you. In fact," she rested her head back on his shoulder and casually brought her fingers to his ear, "why don't I show how much I love you right now."

The affects were almost instantaneous and Bunny held her tighter as a groan escaped his lips. Nat was the only one who knew about the ears, "N-now love?"

She nodded whispering "Now," just as Neron and Sophie came up to them. Nat hunched down to their level. After giving each a kiss on the head she said, "Why don't you two go play with Dedushka for a while?" Both nodded happily and ran over to North, who scooped them both into his arms with a jolly laugh. Taking Bunny's paw she subtly guided him to the exit, but she caught Sandy's eye just before leaving.

He flashed a knowing smile and she mouthed, "Keep an eye on them please," before pointing to the kids. He nodded with a thumbs up. Nat nodded in thanks and dragged Bunny to a spare bedroom, yanking his mouth to hers the minute the door was shut. They kissed fervently for a few minutes before she pulled back and gazed deeply into his emerald eyes. "My wonderful mate," she whispered sweetly, "I love you so much."

Bunny licked her nose with a smile, "And I love you Natty, with my heart and soul. Always." The two then continued kissing fiercely, moving to the bed to passionately show their love for one another, both in absolute bliss. For all was right in the world, they were together, they had their family, life couldn't get more perfect.

And everyone lived, and loved, happily ever after.

A dumb ending I know, but it was time this one ended. Dedushka is grandpa in Russian for those who did not know. Thank you to all my readers, you mean so much to me. Now idk about any other stories in the future, I just started college so I'm not sure how busy I'll be. Farewell for now everyone, thanks again.
