"Jiminy?", a faint, concerned voice asked, and Jiminy shook his head to clear the spiderwebs away, raising a hand to rub it, "I'm alright...", before opening his eyes, and then his breath caught as two emerald, green eyes stared at him amongst a long curtain of dark sunflower blonde hair, in a sliver of moonlight.

"You sure?", Enchantress asked him. "I mean, you did knock your head fairly hard...", she told him as he still was just staring into her eyes.

Jiminy stammered, "Y-yes..I'm alright. Just a bit tender, that's all...Um, you realize that we're on the ballroom floor...in...ah, a scandalous position?", his heart beating so fast as he is literally under a beautiful enchantress...He prayed mentally to not move where it would cross a line as he's already being rather impersonal in her space.

Enchantress spoke quietly, "Jiminy, I'm an enchantress...I am more mischievous than a fairy in observing human lives and society as I literally found myself often to travel the earth...And can you believe that I didn't intend for this to happen? This is the first time I found myself in, like how I nudged people to be in when I was...ah, impatient at times, when I was only a blooming novice...and you may have noticed that I wasn't deterred by shamelessly teasing my cousin.".

"M-Miss Enchantress...", Jiminy started, shocked to hear that the enchantress was shameless in flirting with men, and really mischievous in putting people into scandalous situations, as the woman atop him interrupted, "Don't call me that anymore...I...I want to start over...but I know that I'm an enchantress, I just don't want to entitle my name like that...honestly, it got monotone after years...", with a sigh.

"Sylvia...", the enchantress heard Jiminy say, and she blinked, "What?", and Jiminy licked his lips nervously, "Sylvia...it means 'from the forest', and how your eyes are like the forest in summer...Sorry, I apologize for being bold an-", before his lips were gently shushed by a finger.

"I like it...", Sylvia said in a quiet whisper as Jiminy continued to blush. "You're such a wonderful gentleman, Jiminy... practically a heart a million times larger than your body...".

Jiminy widened his eyes at the sincere words the ench-no, Sylvia, said, and he exhaled, "Thank you, Sylvia...", growing to love the sound of the name as it fits her so perfectly, and Sylvia blushed, smiling, before they heard Cogsworth's distant announcement, "Everyone, the new day is to come in 30 seconds!".

They were surprised to hear it with Jiminy instinctively moving before Sylvia gasped in surprise, giving a moan, and Jiminy's heart hammered as he realized that he unintentionally moved against her, "I'm sorry!", distantly hearing the echo of the family counting down to midnight.

Sylvia replied, "No...I actually liked that...Can we be scandalized? Just for a moment, please? I...I may have flirted shamelessly with men, but I never actually kissed one on the lips. You don't have to since we're sort of friends..", biting her lip, inwardly glad that she went with a modest version of her enchantress dress, but like in Evangeline's style, loving to see Jiminy blush yet being a gentleman.

She knew she is technically killing the society rules around here, but honestly, those went out the window the minute Perla and Adam as Beast went to have intimate time without being hold over marriage, and the staff certainly doesn't seem to want to enforce society rules, especially when Adam is disowned, and that the castle is hidden and safe from the village and France itself for some time.

"If... if you want us to...", Jiminy whispered as Sylvia smiled. "Thank you, Jiminy... I would very much like that...", she brushed her hand in his hair as she slowly leaned closer to his lips.

They barely heard the faint echo of the countdown as they can feel the soft breaths mixing between them, their hearts racing, and as they felt the anticipation in the air, they then met, lips to lips, just as people cheered when the clock rang out loud.

Sylvia had her eyes closed as she took in the sensation of her first kiss on the lips, sharing it with Jiminy, and she experimented slowly as she felt Jiminy's hand brushing through her hair as well, with him helping her along as they kissed tenderly short before they pulled back, looking at each other in curious surprise, along with a hint of desire.

"Wow... that was...", Jiminy obviously was a little dumbstruck by the moment since it was really his first ever kiss. Sure, the others had kissed him on the cheek in the past, but more in a paternal/guardian sort of way. But this...

Sylvia whispered, nodding, "Amazing...Now I know how Eva feels...", before a mischievous smile came to her face as she realized that they are still behind the curtain, "For your first time, you weren't half bad...Wanna try again?".

Jiminy blushed harder. "You'd... you'd really want to do that?", he asked as she chuckled, "Is it wrong for me to know how Evangeline feels? Am I not allowed to at least know what it's like?".

"No...it's not wrong...And what if this leads to...something new?", Jiminy asked quietly, and Sylvia smiled reassuringly with a hint of gentle wisdom, "We'd have to find out as we go, hmm? What was that term back in Italy? Time passes and does not return.".

"Well, I have to think that you have plenty of time on your side... being what you are if Evangeline is indeed centuries old already... even if she doesn't look it.", Jiminy said.

Sylvia smiled, "True, she was, but now she's human, and I couldn't deny that she is happier being with Ray and Naveen, but you might be surprised that I'm technically 100 years younger than her.".

Jiminy widened his eyes in surprise before nervously complimenting, "You look good for an enchantress, Sylvia.", and she giggled, her little musical laugh making his heart skip a beat. He exhaled before he cradled her cheek, inwardly amazed at the feel of her flawless skin, and then kissed her a bit more eagerly.

Sylvia gasped, moaning as she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, feeling Jiminy's hands roam over her back, and they couldn't stop as they caught quick breaths and their kisses becoming feverous and passionate, as they rolled in the curtain hems on the floor, the excitement of being scandalized rushing through them, and not caring about the world around them, focused on each other, for they are intactly sound of mind, not an ounce of alcohol in them.

As Jiminy then lifted Sylvia up to go against the wall, they were too distracted by their passionate rendezvous to see the curtain draping open, a loud cough pierced the air near them, Fay's voice speaking, "You know, there are better ways to spend the first day of the year than a hard floor.", as the party was somehow less noisy than before.

Both of them blushed as they saw Fay as she chuckled, "Can't say I truly blame you, Sylvia... you see Evangeline so happy with her man, it's hard not to be tempted by the idea.".

Sylvia blushed at the teasing of her aunt, realizing that she and Jiminy has gotten their clothes and hair mussed up, feeling her lips plump and swollen from all the kissing, noticing that some of the family is amused, smirking and smiling.

Belle chuckled, "You're so lucky that the children are too young to stay up past midnight.", and Juliet smirked, "Oh, burn! Nice going, Jiminy!".

Both of them blushed even harder as Belle smiled, "Juliet, please, you can see how embarrassed they are with us catching them.".

Juliet nodded, "Fair enough.", kissing her on the cheek as she stroked Belle's baby bump lovingly, and Evangeline looked at her cousin, "So, you are Sylvia now, huh? It suits you...".

Sylvia smiled, "Thank you, Eva...", and Ray replied, "So, what are you two now?", catching the couple off guard at the question, and they glanced at each other before Jiminy blushed, "I don't know, we're...we're definitely attracted to each other, I know that for sure...but we're not lovers or anything more...if that's alright to say, Sylvia...I was trying to make sense of it for them...".

"I understand... I could say the same for myself. Not to mention considering what I do now...", Sylvia said as Jiminy nodded. Evangeline had a small smile on her face as she certainly thought that this might not just be the end of anything between the two of them.

Fay then replied, "We must get going, Sylvia. As it has passed midnight, there will be new wishes to check upon, and perhaps, if I help you complete those wishes faster this new morning, you might have free time to visit Jiminy.", with a smile.

Sylvia sighed, nodding, "Yes, Aunt Fay.", as she was disappointed that she was going, but hoped by the time the sun rises, she would have free time to be back on Earth after finishing the test run's session. Just as she was really eager to see where Jiminy was going with whatever he planned to, when he lifted her to go against the wall...

They left fairly quick as the rest of the party seemed to have started winding down. The exhaustion was starting to hit many of them due to the late hour.

Adam told the staff that it's fine for them to have a day off too as most of everyone would sleep in, and so, most of the family went on to sleep, with a couple of them checking on the nurseries and such out of habit like Ray.

Satisfied that Naveen wasn't hurting himself by staying awake as he was really sound asleep, Ray headed back to his and Evangeline's bedroom, he hummed the tune that Evangeline often sang to Naveen, called 'Once Upon a Star', unknowing of Evangeline's plan.

"You really like that song, don't you?", Evangeline chuckled when Ray entered their room as he nodded, "Well, it obviously sounds better when you sing it.".

Evangeline smiled with a blush, and glanced at Ray, "Are you too tired to do some cuddling and kissing?", and Ray smiled, "I still got some energy left in me, and besides, you heard Adam, sleeping in is no problem. I'd love to cuddle and kiss with you, my angel of my heart.", rubbing her shoulders as he held her from behind.

"What if you're up for something else, say, lovemaking?", Evangeline peeked over her shoulder with a little excited smile, and Ray looked at her in surprise, and Evangeline continued, "We had practice with kissing, intimate touching, and all...Since Naveen is 5, almost 6, old enough to think for himself and all, he asked me something this morning in our mother-son time while you were busy hunting for red deer with the other boys...", with a soft chuckle.

Ray's face went red as he heard that when she chuckled. "Am I... am I to guess that he asked about siblings then?", he asked.

Evangeline turned around to face him, "Yes, he did...He admitted to me that he was happy to have friends and all but seeing his friends protecting and adoring their younger siblings, he felt lonely, wanting to be like his daddy in a way, brave and strong, to have someone look up to him, like how he does with you, Ray.".

Ray chuckled, "So his solution was us having a child then?", smiling wryly. "Well...", Evangeline ran her finger along his leg. "Is that not something you want? For us to finally have a child?".

Ray looked at her lovingly with desire, "You really sure you want to do this?", and Evangeline whispered, "I want you to feel free, without nobody forcing you to breed anyone like cattle, to be watched by bastardly masters...You loved and cared for Naveen's mother like a dear friend, but you never wanted her to suffer, and you tried to be gentle for her, but at the orders of your masters, it wasn't real...I want you, Ray...I want you to choose. I won't force you if you don't want this.".

Ray took a deep breath as he closed his eyes as he needed a few moments to think before he nodded. "Of course... I... I would love to do this with you... you're just so perfect, Eve...", he whispered as he walked up to her.

Evangeline smiled brightly, "I love you, Ray...", and Ray stroked her hair lovingly as he spoke, "I love you too, Eve.", before kissing her deeply, taking her in his arms gently yet surely.

She moaned softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, caressing his head, mischievously grinding against his tent in his trousers, taking a cue from her cousin.

"You've certainly been learning from others, haven't you?", Ray chuckled as Evangeline kissed his cheek. "Maybe... I just wanted to make sure all of this was perfect.", she told him.

Ray then smiled, "Then let's make this perfect together...", before going to kiss her neck sensually while he slowly went to slip the modest sleeves down on her shoulders, thanking mentally that Evangeline chose to use her original dress as her nightgown.

Evangeline gasped in pleasure, moaning softly from the sensation as she caressed his head with one hand, kissing it, while her other hand went to loosen the belt in his trousers.

"Ray...", Evangeline gave a small moan of pleasure as the excitement practically shivered through her. The anticipation of if all slowly driving her wild as he continued to kiss her.

Ray whispered into her ear, "That feels good, my love?", and Evangeline whispered, "Yes, don't stop, please.", and Ray smiled, keeping at kissing her neck as he caressed her bare shoulders, the sleeves sliding down her arms.

Evangeline moaned in pleasure as she eagerly freed the belt from Ray's trousers, and exhaled, begging, "Please, help me take this off.", and Ray heard her, kissing her neck even more sensually as one of his hands tugged her dress to slide down her body, caressing her back with his other hand, freeing her as the dress fell, pooling around her feet, revealing her nude breasts, yet still in her panties.

Ray looked at her with awe, desire, and surprise as he leaned back to look, and Evangeline smiled shyly, "You always had a shirt off when we went to cuddle and sleep together...I figured I'd give a surprise for you in return...What do you think?".

"Evangeline...", Ray said as she blushed. "You're perfect...", he said as she blushed even redder now, "T-Thank you, Ray...". He responded to her with another deep, passionate kiss on the lips.

Evangeline sighed and moaned in pleasure as Ray caressed her skin, her breasts, and it nearly sent her into a puddle of ecstasy, and Ray chuckled warmly a moment later, "Shall we take this to our bed, my angel of my heart?".

Evangeline nodded, "Yes, please.", as her hands tugged upwards at his shirt, and Ray picked her up in his arms gently as he kissed her skin, and she moaned in pleasure, the couple moving eagerly yet gracefully to the bed.

It only took a few moments before Ray gently placed her on the bed as he stood over her. "I should probably get these off...", he said as his hands wrapped around the waist of his trousers.

Evangeline touched his hands, "Let me...You take your shirt off...", and Ray smiled, "Okay.", before he went to tug his shirt off, bringing his arms up while Evangeline wrapped around the rim of his trousers, pulling it down to reveal his boxer shorts which is straining a clear tent, and she hooked her fingers alongside the rim of the boxer shorts altogether, pulling them carefully.

She widened her eyes in awe and admiration as his rod sprung free to half mast, slowly rising to full mast, and she looked up at Ray who had just taken his shirt off successfully, "What do you think?".

"It's amazing...No wonder why Naveen has the hints of growing up into a handsome, charming man...Can I...can I touch it?", Evangeline asked softly, and Ray smiled, "Well, I need a way to get into ready mode, eh? Go on, Eve...".

Evangeline smiled as she whispered, "Okay.", one of her hands reaching up, and a finger went to trail along his rod slowly, amazed to feel the width and size, feeling a thrill of desire through her body as she heard Ray gasp out in surprise and pleasure, "Oh!".

"Who knew you were so sensitive?", Evangeline teased as Ray smiled. "Well, it is a sensitive area for a man...", he said as she continued to rub it.

"Then you are quite a man judging from it.", Evangeline smiled. Ray moaned and gasped in pleasure from the sensation of her flawless hand stroking his rod, and he arched over her, whispering huskily, "Then let's judge you as a woman, my love...", before licking one of her nipples.

Evangeline cried out in pleasure, "Ray! Oh!", her hand instinctively squeezing his rod, and Ray cried out in pleasure, "Eve, oh!", panting huskily, "You like that? You want more?".

"If you don't mind my hand intentionally bringing your big man up to full ready mode...I want more, yes...", Evangeline breathily pleaded, and Ray smiled at her before taking her breast into his mouth, licking and rolling it with her tongue, pleasuring her amongst moans of pleasure himself as Evangeline squeezed and rubbed his rod.
