"You really didn't have to do this," Sumia insisted as they walked casually to her favorite diner. Cynthia had already brought her breakfast in bed and now Lucina was taking her to lunch. She was touched by their efforts, but she also did not want to cause them trouble.

"I know, but I want to. Today is set aside for mothers after all," Lucina was eager to connect with her pseudo-mother, but she had another motivation as well. Her father had planned a special dinner that night with Sumia's parents coming to town as well, and Lucina and Cynthia had been tasked with keeping Sumia occupied.

"And I am fortunate to have such wonderful daughters," Sumia beamed, "I just don't want to be a bother."

"It's no bother," Lucina assured as they walked up onto the patio of the diner, "It's nice to be able to spend time together like this."

"That's true."

The two spent the next hour or so eating and enjoying the nice weather. Sumia carried most of the conversation, not that Lucina minded. She was more than happy to learn more about her mother.

"Ah, well, listen to me go on. How about you? How have you been doing lately?"

"Fair. I've been settling into my new position fairly well."

"I must say that I'm glad you decided to stay. You seemed pretty determined to leave."

"I was," Lucina admitted somberly.

"Then what changed your mind?"

Lucina cast her glance to her lap and responded quietly, "Someone convinced me to stay," She looked back up, "And I'm glad he did. I'm happier now than I ever have been."

Sumia smiled knowingly, but did not say anything.

Looking up at the sky, Lucina realized that it was about time to head back, "We should get back now."

"Hmm? Oh, yes. I guess time got away," Sumia grabbed her bag and the two started to make their way back to the castle. They made it about halfway before someone rounded a corner too fast and ran straight into Lucina.

"Are you okay?" Lucina offered her hand to the stranger who fell down from the impact.

"Ugh, yeah," she took the hand while using her free hand to rub her now sore behind, "Sorry I wasn't watching where I–" she stopped cold with her mouth hanging somewhat agape when she finally got a good look at Lucina's face.

"Um, yes?" Lucina was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"M-mother!" The girl finally roused from her stupor and lunged forward to hug the princess, "I was so worried. I was alone and I couldn't remember why I was there, but now you're here!"

"Uh…" Lucina awkwardly took in the girl. The coat did look familiar and her hair was the exact shade of her own. She pried the girl off of her and looked her in her shining blue eyes, "I'm sorry, but I don't know you."

"Huh? W-why not?" The girl seemed decidedly distraught.

"I…don't have a daughter. Perhaps you are mistaken."

"No! It's definitely you," She removed her left glove and held the back of her hand up, "See?"

Lucina stared at the brand of the Exalt on full display, "I-I don't know what to say." Lucina's attention shifted back to the coat she was wearing and then back to the girl's face, "You must have come from another world."

"You mean like you did?" Morgan thought it over, "I don't remember anything like that, but my memory is a bit fuzzy at the moment. I only really seem to remember you and father."

"Y-your father," Lucina's heart beat faster. They had not even made their relationship public yet.

"Lucina," Sumia finally spoke up, "Is there something you'd like to tell me…before we see your father."

"O-oh," Lucina faced her mother with her face red from embarrassment, "You mean about her father?"

"Uh-huh," Sumia nodded with a slight smile.

"W-well, we were going to tell you, b-but we just hadn't gotten around to it."

"Lucina," Sumia drew out her name.

Lucina looked down as her face grew redder, "Robin and I are in a relationship." Lucina turned to the girl, "He is your father, right?"

"Of course!" The girl beamed.

"I figured as much."

"Y-you're not mad?" Lucina asked bashfully.

"No. I should thank him after all. He got you to stay."

"Thank you, mother."

"Mother?" the girl perked up, "Grandma?"

Sumia laughed, "Yes, I suppose I am in a way."

"I didn't even ask your name," Lucina admitted.

"Morgan! Your adorable daughter at your service!"

"Well, Lucina, looks like you will get to celebrate today as well."

"Perhaps we should wait before telling everyone."
