Sincerely wishing you all well,

North Dakota. A northern state in America that Elizabeth had grown to love. She had moved to the place a few years ago to marry the man who was now her husband for the sake of the girl who was now her daughter.

She had to admit, things weren't so bad.

The Uchiha compound was much larger than the Phantomhive one. Not only did it have two houses the size of the Phantomhive Manor, but it also had a servant's area, a barn for animals, and two smaller houses. Just last year Lizzy had been introduced to the Dojo as well.

When she and Lincent had first arrived, Kosuke had lied and said that Lincent was his child that he had wanted raised away from the family. He had played the part of the guilty son perfectly as he admitted that he was wrong and terribly sorry.

That was the first time Elizabeth had felt a flash of pride for her future husband.

His father, a strict man named Hiroki, wasn't buying it.

"Whatever the reason you wish to take these two in son, is your business. But because I caught you in the lie, meet me out back tonight at midnight. You two will marry in a week." Hiroki added, looking over at Elizabeth, who was holding a sleeping Lincent.

"Can Lincent be my heir?" Kosuke asked. Hiroki nodded, expression softening at the sleeping face of innocence.

"Of course." He said. "Your mother would be so proud." He said. Kosuke nodded, smiling.

Their wedding day had been simple and quiet. Paula and the other maids helped Elizabeth dress, then assisted Lincent. It had been a strict, family only affair. Hiroki's uncle wed them.

Dressed is a gown worthy of a princess, Elizabeth pressed her lips against Kosuke's for the first time.

The man had smiled at her and wrapped a secure arm around her waist. The small family dinner was their reception and together they had laid Lincent down to sleep that night.

Kosuke was true to his word and was Elizabeth's husband in name only. He stayed that way for several months too. The blond appreciated the distance he showed and felt the need to pay him back.

So, with that intention in mind, Elizabeth began to court Kosuke Uchiha.

The heir to the Uchiha family was baffled as he played with his new daughter in the gardens. His wife had asked that he look after her for the day while she and her maid went into town. What had him pondering was the blush that Elizabeth had gracing her cheeks when she insisted he'd see her at dinner.

What in the world could she be up to?

"Daddy, can we go horseback riding?" Lincent asked, tugging at Kosuke's hand. The young man nodded, pulling himself from his thoughts.

"Of course, Lin." He promised, allowing the girl to lead him to the stables. Unbeknownst to him, his father was watching, frowning slightly at the confused look on his son's face.

"Dinner for two?" Kosuke asked as he sat down across from Elizabeth. The blond nodded, blushing.

"Yes." She said. Silence fell between them as they ate, both thinking of each other.

Once their plates were cleared, Elizabeth stood up, offering Kosuke her hand.

"Shall we take a stroll around the lake?" She asked. The older nodded, accepting the hand.

"Okay." He agreed. As they strolled around, Elizabeth bit her lip nervously. Shyly, she slipped her hand into Kosuke's.

"These past few months have been wonderful, Kosuke." She started sincerely.

"I'm glad." He said, smiling softly at his new wife. Gathering her nerve, Elizabeth leaned against Kosuke.

"Would I be overstepping my place to suggest us…actually being a married couple?" She asked. Kosuke paused, looking down at her thoughtfully. He smirked, gently cupping her cheek.

"I would be delighted if we did." He said sincerely.

Lincent giggled as she watched Elizabeth smear cookie dough down Kosuke's cheek. The three were making cookies for Santa. Over a year had passed since Lincent moved to America, and she couldn't be happier. Her new parents loved her as fiercely as her old had, and their new relationship seemed to be just as happy.

"Liz." Kosuke grumbled as he wiped the dough off of his face. Elizabeth chuckled, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.

"I couldn't resist!" She teased, winking at Lin. The girl giggled again, planting more round balls onto the tray.

"What is a man to do when he's not safe in his own kitchen?" Kosuke said in mock despair, bringing more giggles from the two causing him grief.

"Hide better next time." The three looked up to find Hiroki leaning in the doorway, watching them with a blank expression.

"Grandpa!" Lin cried out happily, running over to hug the man. Hiroki picked her up, not breaking eye contact with his son.

"How was your meeting with President Sarutobi? Is war avoidable?" Kosuke asked cleaning off his hands as Elizabeth placed the cookies in the over. Hiroki nodded, placing a tender kiss on Lin's forehead.

"Yes. The next time I go to the capital, I feel you three should join me. Lincent, I feel that Tsunade would make an excellent playmate." He explained.

"A friend?" Lincent gasped, happy at the idea. Hiroki nodded, cupping her face.

"Yes."

Kosuke felt his expression soften, looking back at his wife as she wrapped her arms around his. She smiled, kissing his shoulder as Lincent happy ramblings were like music to their ears.

He hoped that things would always remain this happy.

A/N: Oh the origins of my family. Much joy has been brought to me. Hopefully to you guys too?

BTW: Lizzy and Lin are now speaking English. Pretend they learned it in a year.
