Three Months Later

Marina stretched out her body on Balthier's large more-comfortable-than-possible bed with smile on her face. It didn't take her long to locate her new husband since she had quickly learned that the balcony of their room was one of his favorite places. Especially in the morning and just before sunset. He liked to watch the people in the city move about their business.

She came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Can we go flying today?" she asked. Balthier smiled a little. "I promised didn't I?" She smiled and kissed him lightly on the shoulder. "But first we have to have breakfast with Cid." He turned and went to their large closet to get dressed.

Balthier and Cid had become closer over the last few months. They had silently understood that Balthier would never forgive Cid but that didn't mean he had to hate him for it. Cid hated himself enough for the both of them. Marina only hoped that eventually Balthier would call him father.

"Morning Cid" Marina said cheerfully before she pecked him on the cheek.

Cid raised an eyebrow. "You're in a good mood this morning."

"We're going flying today" she said happily.

Cid nodded as if he understood. "Well don't forget, you two, that the ambassador of Naboo is arriving tomorrow and we must be ready to meet her."

Marina smiled. "I like her."

Balthier rolled his eyes. "That's just because she told you that it's a boy, which I don't believe."

Marina rolled her eyes. "Thats just because you refuse to believe you weren't man enough to make a girl first. But don't worry, honey. You're new at this whole making babies thing. Maybe by the third or fourth time you'll have it down pretty good and make a girl."

Cid laughed heartily while Balthier glared at Marina. "Keep down talking me the way you are you better hope I don't find someone else to carry my children."

Marina rolled her eyes.

"You should be proud of yourself, son. Having a boy first has many advantages. One of the major ones is that he will protect his younger sisters." Cid said after having calmed down.

Balthier chose not to say anything since he knew he was just being teased. It still stunned him how often Cid and Marina ganged up to pick on him. How the hell did he end up stuck in the middle?

Later that night...

"What do you think we should name him?" Marina asked softly.

"I don't know. But I think his middle name should be Valantir after your father."

Marina smiled. "I was actually thinking of naming Ffamran since you go by Balthier now. It would be kind of like naming him after you... only not."

Balthier smiled proudly. "I like that idea."

Marina chuckled. "I thought you would." She had been rubbing the little bump on her stomach absentmindedly until Balthier stilled it by laying his on top of hers. She smiled at him and pecked his lips. "I love you." He kissed her cheek and sighed. "I love you too."

Balthier and Marina never used their new powers for destruction but they were a great help around the house for little things. Balthier succeeded his father to the throne of Endor and the system lived on prosperously.

Cidolfus Bunansa died a content and happy man at the age of 211. He was considered as one of the greatest kings in the galaxy and people honored him for bringing Endor and it's moons together.

Balthier and Marina had thirteen children in their long lifetime. They had eight beautiful and stubborn girls and five proud, strong, and very protective boys. The Bunansa bloodline flourished and still has not yet died out even today.

The End.
