Previously:

In the distance Russel, Dove and Sky looked around for Cardin calling out his name. When they got to an edge Cardin flew up with a dark faunus fairy, they gagged as he pulled apart from kissing her. "Ignore them Aqua, you are absolutely beautiful." He kissed her again making the three look away gagging.

Now:

Adam about jumped out of his skin when his wing was touched lightly. Turning around quickly he sighed at the smirking blue haired princess. It had been three months since the love potion incident so the princess found herself there a lot. Most of the time making him jump like he had just done. He shook his head, "What can I help you with today Princess Ironwood?"

She gave a slightly playful glare, "Hm, with that attitude I might not show you around my kingdom."

The bull faunus smiled, "Yes, because I have time for that right now."

Neptunia looked in the direction he indicated. He was in the middle of helping get his new castle get built. They had chosen a new placement and were half way done in constructing it. Her blue looked where were his eyes were, "Hm, and how long have you been at this today?"

"Precisely eight hours." Flare replied pushing her child closer to the princess, "You go my son I will help out." Her wing as well as Emerald's had healed well and the two were back to flying. Adam went to argue but his mother spoke up, "Think of this as your break. You have been working too hard these last few days and you could use a good breather." She waved him off, "Shoo, your mother has got this."

The male sighed as he got dragged off by Neptunia, "Don't worry we will only be gone for a few hours." She gave a beaming smile, "Then you and I can come back and I can help."

The bull gave an amused smile, "Don't you have other things you need to be doing?"

"If you are talking about the meeting my dad is holding right now then I have no clue what you are talking about." Adam crossed his arms and her serious face melted into a smile, "He kicked me out saying I need to see you. His exact words were, 'It's been a week since you last saw him go on a date with him before these people bore you to sleep with their complaining.'"

Adam laughed, "They still have a problem with us." He walked up and hugged her around the waist.

She nodded hugging him back, "Along with the agreement between our kingdoms, the amount of dark fairies coming to visit, me coming to visit you when ever I have time, and Sun and Jaune being together, ect, ect."

Her wings fluttered under his arms making him chuckle, "Were they really putting you to sleep?"

"Yep, they keep asking the same questions. In cycle no less." The princess hugged him tightly around the stomach, "I've answered these question at least ten times with the same answer."

"Wow."

"M-hm." She pulled out of his arms and pulled him into the air where they flew off, "Come with me." As they flew off they could see Emerald and Mercury in a middle of a bicker. The two had not admitted their love for each other yet or Mercury was trying to but Emerald was making it hard. Of course when asked Mercury would reply with I love this woman so much I will win one way or another. They spent the next couple of hours flying around the light kingdom when they landed they were on the roof above Neptunia's room window. "So what did you think?"

"Your kingdom is bigger than I thought it would be." He smiled at her, "I do have to ask, are there more light kingdoms?"

"Yes, ours is just the largest." Netpunia replied swaying her feet that were hanging over the edge.

The faunus leaned back, "So, I don't think I ever asked. How is the…whole Cardin thing going?"

Neptunia giggled, "We are still trying to get him un-love dusted. But he is proving to be difficult. We would let the two marry if it wasn't for the fact that he hates faunus and dark fairies." She shook her head, "If he was to come out of it while married…it would break that poor woman's heart."

The male shook his head, "He really needs to get over it. I still have faunus in my kingdom that have a problem with normal looking fairies. Even if they are dark fairies as well."

"Yuck that sounds as bad as people like Cardin." Neptunia shook her head then let her dark blue eyes meet his mask. She fidgeted with her fingers, "Adam?"

"Yes?" The bull faunus asked with a tilt of his head.

"I hope I'm not pushing boundaries but why do you wear that mask?"

He smiled and touched it, "It was my fathers." He could tell he had her complete attention, 'Why not? I mean she told me about her mom.' Neptunia was able to meet her mother's parents. When they had first seen her they thought she was Azure. They were still happy reguardless to have a granddaughter, even if she was part light fairy. "My dad died fighting another dark fairy kingdom. I was only ten at the time. This mask was something he made when he was younger with some friends. They used to take turns wearing it but they died in a rock slide. They were young and reckless and were in the light kingdom when they were not supposed to." Adam gave a sigh, "He told me after that he always wore it. It made him feel like they were always with him. I now likewise wear like he did because I feel like he is still with me."

Netpunia smiled, "That's pretty cool. I wish that kind of skill was in our kingdom."

Adam smiled, "Yeah, he said it was pretty hard."

"Can…" The princess bit her lip, "Can I see your eyes?"

The bull took off the mask and shielded his eyes from the sun. Seeing Neptunia giving the bright smile she gave him made his heart skip a beat. 'She is so beautiful. Even more so without my mask over my eyes.' Her dark blue eyes were now looking directly into his dark brown. 'It's amazing how something so simple can make her day.'

"They are beautiful." Neptunia moved so she was right next to him hugging him with one arm. Her eyes had not leaving his.

This made him chuckle, "Maybe I should look at you without my mask from now on if that's the kind of looks I am going to get." That made her laugh and pull him down for a kiss. He happily reciprocated the kiss as he pulled her on his lap. He loved holding her more than anything.

Three years later midnight:

Adam got up and grumbled as he went toward the bed room door. Neptunia dead asleep as she had just gotten up two hours earlier to take care of the issue. When he got to the room the bull faunus looked down at the crying baby as he leaned on the crib. "You have got to get some sleep; mommy and daddy can't keep doing this." The baby looked at him tears running down his face. The child had his mom's blue hair and his dad's dark brown eyes and bull horns. The wings the baby had were dark blue with dark brown designs. This child was only a few months old and was as needy as ever. Adam sighed picked up his son, "Azul, you are going wear your parents out." Azul just whimpered prompting Adam to winkle his nose as the smell hit him, "Oh, I see." As he changed his son Neptunia walked in and handed him a new diaper, "What are you doing awake? We have to head to the light kingdom in a few hours. I told you I would take care of him the next time he woke up."

Neptunia yawned as he took the diaper, "I couldn't sleep without you there."

Adam smiled and picked up a newly changed Azul, "Ah, you are in cuddly mode."

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his sides. Her tired dark blue eyes looking at her son, "Are you going to go back to sleep mister?" The infant gave a sleepy giggle and reached for her.

Adam rolled his dark brown eyes, "You are such a mommy's boy."

The blue haired female smiled as she took Azul, "So, Garnet is a daddy's girl."

The bull lightly chuckled as he walked out and checked to see if his daughter was sleeping. Peeking into her room he smiled she sitting up looking at him sleepily. Walking in he picked her up and held her. She was only one year and some months old. She had her dad's red hair and horns, while she her mom's dark blue eyes. Her wings were the same as her brothers. He checked her diaper as he held her and sighed, "Why do you two insist on doing this when you are sleeping."

Neptunia giggled lightly he started to change his daughter, Azul already asleep against her chest. Adam chuckled, 'That little boy is going to be a chest man when he gets older. If I am honest with myself I am one.' His dark brown eyes looked at his wife's chest that his son was lying on before turning to his daughter. As Adam changed her, Garnet fell back asleep. When he was done he picked her up and held her to his chest. "How about we get them to their bed so we can get some more sleep ourselves?" Neptunia just replied with a yawn and a nod. He smiled she was beautiful even with her bed head undercut.

Placing Garnet on her bed he covered her up and walked out with his blue haired princess. She had not taken over yet as her father was still the king. James Ironwood was still working things out so that things went smoothly for his daughter when she took over. Adam and King James had agreed if the two could bare two children they would have the kingdoms split when both of the children came of age. When Neptunia took over they would run both kingdoms. When they were not at one castle Adam's mother would take over for the dark kingdom and James would take over for the light kingdom. This would mean that he and Neptunia would travel between the two kingdoms. Their children would not have to do this since they would have to pick what kingdom they would rule.

Adam smiled as his wife walked away from the crib that now held their sleeping son. He pulled her to his chest where she leaned against happily falling asleep standing up. His arms had tightened to hold her up. Looking at her sleeping face his smile turned fond, "You are more beautiful than you will ever know." Picking her up bridal style, making sure not to let her wings drag on the ground, he walked back to their room where they would get some sleep for their trip in a few hours. Laying down next to his wife he looked at the white mask sitting on the nightstand, 'I kept my promise dad. I married someone I will protect no matter what. As a bonus she is not a normal princess.' He smiled widely as he closed his eyes, 'Just like you looked for in mom.'
