NotSoGreatGamerGirl- *sniff* Yeah... Tbh it nearly killed me to write that, lol. But that aside, thank you! And thank you for your review, as always!

Chrom, Lissa, Morgan, and Lucina rushed into the room, slowing when they entered.

A chill was sent up Chrom's spine when he heard shuffling from behind the curtain, and his eyes widened in horror as he stepped in front of it.

A man who looked to be about nineteen or so with extremely bony and sickly features held a long surgery knife at Robin's throat, his other hand clamped over her mouth.

"Don't move," he croaked with his scratchy voice. "Or I'll slit her throat open."

Robin tried to speak, but her voice was muffled against the man's palm.

"Don't move, either," he instructed Robin, pressing the blade against her skin tighter. "Unless you want to die."

Chrom remained still, but he raised his voice.

"Let her go!" He yelled.

"Oh, I don't think so," he removed his hand from Robin's face and began to play with her hair.

"Stop," Robin pleaded, her voice still dry.

"No," his voice turned rough, and he turned to look Chrom in the eye.

"I told you," he smirked chillingly. "Robin is mine now... She always has been."

"No, she's not," Chrom shot back angrily.

"Is that so?"

He leaned down, placing his lips near Robin's ear.

"You know, it's not too late..." He whispered to her. "We could settle down... Start a family..."

He moved his hand down to her abdomen, infuriating Chrom.

"No!" Robin refused. "I already have a family! I have children!"

She began to cry.

"... And you killed one of them! You're a monster!"

His eyes flashed in irritation.

"I see..." His voice trailed off. "Then I'll have to eliminate the other three first, and then we can start fresh!"

He pointed his knife at Lucina, who stood next to her father, while choking Robin's neck with his other arm.

"No! Don't hurt them..." She gasped. "Please..."

He smiled at her, his features the definition of scary.

"I like it when you beg," he told her softly. "Do it again and I just might spare their lives."

Robin pondered it for a moment silently.

"Mother! Don't!" Lucina protested in her panic.

"... Please," Robin pleaded. "... Don't hurt my family."

Jin grinned at that, and suddenly flung her back onto the bed, hitting her head on the wall with a thud as he ran forward with the knife in his hands.

"NO!" Robin cried out.

"DIE!" He screamed, charging towards Morgan, who gasped just as they heard a loud bullet shot.

Jin fell over, collapsing onto Morgan, who pushed him off frightfully and scrambled to crawl away from him.

"Morgan!" Lucina lifted him off the ground. "Are you alright?!"

"L-Lucy!" He flung himself into Lucina's arms, his voice squeaky. "Lucy! I was so scared! I thought I was gonna die!"

"No, you're going to be alright," Lucina comforted him.

Chrom looked back to see who fired the gun. He was shocked to see Jay standing in the doorway, half of her face bleeding from a large gash on her cheek extending to her forehead.

"Jay!" He exclaimed.

"Looks like I made it just in time," she panted. "Is Robin alright?"

"Yes, thanks to you," he nodded before gasping and running over to Robin, who lay slumped against the wall with her eyes closed.

"Please be okay, please be okay..." Chrom chanted to himself in his head.

"Robin! Are you okay?" He held her shoulders. "Look at me!"

"Ugh..." She held her head, disoriented before opening her eyes to look at him. "... That really hurt."

He wrapped his arms around her, kissing the spot on her head that hit the wall.

"Oh, thank God you're safe..." He said, his eyes filling with tears.

Robin laughed lightly in agreement, returning the embrace as Jay observed Jin, who was on the floor.

"No... Robin..." He moaned.

"You've caused enough grief in this family," she narrowed her eyes at him. "I won't let you hurt my sister ever again."

She kicked his head brutally, knocking him out.

"I'll call the police station," she turned to Lissa. "Doesn't your husband work there?"

"Yeah," Lissa replied. "... Wait, how did you know that? And what happened to you?!"

Jay smiled.

"... Well, I'm a detective. I have access to city records and such, and... Oh, never mind. And as for my face..."

She frowned.

"That (*insert bad word of your choice here*) ambushed me in the elevator when I went to see Robin after I found out she was logged out. I assume he forcibly logged himself out of his MediCuboid, grabbed a surgery knife, and found Robin's hospital room. As the elevator opened when I went to visit her, he lunged at me and slashed my face before I got knocked out from the impact of hitting the hard floor."

"Ow..." Lissa grimaced in fear. "Hang on, let me see if they have anything I can use to help clean you up. I'm in medic school, you know?"

After Lissa treated Jay's cuts, they all walked towards Robin's bed, greeting her warmly.

"Welcome back, Robin!" Lissa beamed cheerfully. "We were all waiting for you!"

"Welcome back, Mother," Lucina hugged her longingly. "Everything's going to be alright, now that you're with us."

"Yeah!" Morgan joined in the hug. "We can finally live normally together!"

Jay simply smiled at Robin, which her sister returned through her children's embrace.

Then, Lissa ushered everyone to leave the room so Chrom and Robin could have some time alone.

Robin observed his face in the moonlight.

"... Wow, I never realized how much more vivid everything is in the real world," she said. "I'm so glad I made it back."

"I am, too," he told her, sitting next to her.

She looked down guiltily, clenching her fists.

"I... The last thing I remembered before Yui and Hiro broke Mirage's mask was watching all of you," she recalled. "And then, all of a sudden, everything just shattered, and then I blinked and woke up in your arms."

He placed his hand over her shaking one.

"Hey, none of it was your fault... Although I do still think that whoever's responsible needs to pay."

Robin nodded in agreement before turning her head to the window, where the silvery beams of light shone down through the glass.

She suddenly shifted her legs over the bed, attempting to stand up.

"Hey!" Chrom called out as she fell, laughing at herself as she laid on the cold floor.

"Ow..." She grimaced. "I think I'll just stay here for a while."

"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know," he chuckled, offering his hand to her. "Give me your hand."

She took it with a smile and shakily stood up before her knees caved and she fell into his arms with a hearty laugh.

He carried her onto the bed, sitting her down before resting his forehead against hers gently.

"Welcome back," he whispered. "It's all over now."

Robin began to cry as Chrom placed his lips onto hers, and they shared a tender and much-needed kiss. As they let go, Robin wiped away her tears.

"Let's go home," Chrom told her, holding her hand.

"... Yeah. Let's go home," she repeated with a smile.

That night, Chrom let Robin take a quick shower before she went to bed, resting her head on the pillow tiredly.

He lifted up the covers and crawled under, next to her.

"Tired?" He asked.

She nodded in reply, looking up at the ceiling before she closed her eyes, a single tear falling onto the covers.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Robin shook her head, fighting back the tears.

"I... I want Hiro back..." She sobbed. "He sacrificed himself... For me."

Chrom comforted her.

"Hiro was a smart kid," he told her. "Just like his mother... He did it for the sake of his future self, and the rest of the family."

Robin sniffled.

"I... I never even got to know him," she cried. "B-Before he died..."

"Well, first of all, you have to stop crying," he smiled.

"... How can you be so happy? Our son died!" She asked him in disbelief.

His smile faltered slightly, but it still remained on his face.

"I'm not happy he died," he told her seriously. "I'm respecting his last wish... You remember it, don't you?"

"Of course I do," she said remorsefully. "... Every word of it."

Chrom adjusted himself so that he faced her.

"He even told you personally, didn't he?" He reminded her. "He said he didn't want you to be sad and guilty about his death."

"I..." Robin pressed the blanket to her face to dry her tears. "... You're right, Chrom. I'm sorry."

Suddenly baby Lucina started to cry from her crib in the corner of the room. They were getting her new room redone, so they had to move her and all her belongings to Chrom and Robin's room.

Robin pulled the covers off gently and sleepily walked to the crib, peering over the side to see Lucina garbling, stretching her arms out.

"It's alright, your mommy's here now," she cradled the baby in her arms. It didn't do much to pacify her until Robin handed her over to Chrom, causing her to silence and look up at him peacefully.

Robin sighed, sitting on the bed.

"She always did like her father," she noted.

"Don't say that," Chrom insisted. "I'm sure she loves you just as much as she loves me."

He returned Lucina to Robin, who was much more tranquil this time around.

"You're her mother, after all," he continued.

Robin kissed Lucina's chubby cheek affectionately.

"Oh, my little baby..." She whispered. "I missed you so much..."

Lucina began to fall asleep in her mother's warm embrace before she was put back to her crib.

"... I love you," Robin told her with a smile. "I love you very much, Lucina."

Unbeknownst to the two parents, the older Lucina stood outside the door, unintentionally eavesdropping. She smiled before returning to her room, not wanting to steal their attention away from their true daughter.

Chrom woke up early the next morning to see Robin shaking vigorously in her sleep, almost as if she were severely shivering.

"... Ungh... Stop..." She mumbled.

"Robin?" He shook her gently.

She gradually stopped shaking and her eyes began to open slowly.

"Chrom?" She muttered, turning to face him.

"Are you alright?" He asked her in concern.

"Yeah, I just..." Her voice trailed off as she sat up. "... Had a nightmare."

His brow furrowed as he did the same.

"What was it about?" He asked her.

"It was about..." She began to say. "... It was about Jin."

Chrom's eyes widened.

"What happened? Did he hurt you?"

"He... I remembered what happened back at the hospital, before you came..."

Chrom listened attentively.

"He..." She held her arms close to her body.

Chrom held her shoulders, looking her in the eye.

"Did he touch you?!" He asked, furiously. The anger wasn't directed at her, but rather, Jin.

She nodded, sniffling.

He instinctively embraced her, trying to contain himself.

"That bastard..." He muttered hatefully. "I'll kill him. He's hurt you too much."

Robin melted into his embrace silently, and for a few moments they were silent.

"Robin..." Chrom said, breaking the silence. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I... I was scared," she admitted. "I was so scared, I didn't want to remember any of it... It was so awful..."

Chrom comforted her, clutching her to him closely.

"... But when I'm with you, I'm not scared anymore," she continued to say, a small smile appearing on her face. "I feel safe."

Chrom stroked her back, his hand running over her silky white hair.

"... Then I'll stay with you forever," he told her. "If that's what it takes to make you happy, then so be it."

Robin's smile widened.

"Thank you, Chrom... For everything. I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, forever."

"I love you, too. And I'll do anything to make sure we can live together... As a family."

Meanwhile, Yui walked through the field where Hiro had died, a bouquet of flowers she had picked herself in her hand. She remembered how she'd pluck a few of them while they were in the forest and stick them in his hair while she thought he wasn't looking. He would smile and tell her that they'd look a lot better in her hair, and he did just that, nestling the dainty blossom behind her ear.

Her brown eyes looked down at her boots, as she remembered him. He was the best friend she could ever ask for. He was kind, considerate, and never once yelled or got mad at her for anything, which was saying a lot since she tended to get into trouble a lot. But despite that, he stood by her side no matter what. She knew that he could understand her. He could literally feel what she was feeling. Because of that, Yui had learned to never think or shout, "You don't understand me."

Then, she saw a glint of silver sticking out of the ground, with a dark purple hilt and knew she was getting closer. Yui had realized after her family returned to the real world that the sword she had used to kill Mirage was actually Hiro's sword and not hers. They used the same sword, but the detailing on the guard was different. In her rush, she had thought she grabbed hers after she dropped it to catch Falchion, but it turned out to be her late brother's. She decided to keep it there as a reminder of him, and that he was once here.

As she approached his grave site, she was shocked to see that behind where Hiro's sword in the ground was, there was a tall and wide tree that previously was not there. It had strong branches and beautiful red leaves that looked like rose petals from a distance.

She curiously stepped forward and placed her hand on the smooth bark after placing the flowers in front of his sword.

"How did this get here?" Yui wondered. "It's not like they just spawn trees for fun."

Seeing Hiro's sword smack in the middle in front of it, though, she remembered how when he laid in his mother's arms, his tears fell onto the soil beneath her.

His teardrops had formed this tree.

She sat down and leaned against the trunk, closing her eyes. Ever since Hiro had died, she was secretly lonely. Around the others, she had pretended to be as cheerful as she had before she lost her brother. Deep down in her heart, though, she was miserable. Sometimes the reality of it hadn't quite sunken in. But then, she realized that what's done was done. Only now, she felt at peace, as if her twin sibling was sitting right next to her.

"Hiro..."

Author's Note: And scene! I'm so sorry for not posting as soon as I originally planned, I've been really busy with school and real life stuff, *sigh*.

Anyways, thanks for reading, and please leave feedback if you enjoyed! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
