Gwen was carrying her small daughter in her arms, smiling at the slightly sleepy toddler. Looking over her shoulder, Guzma admired the small child proudly. He was happy to have a family of his own, hopefully better than the one he and Gwen had when they were younger. He would strive to be a better husband, a better father than his was. Even today, he shudders at the thought of what happened. He would not let that happen again.

Hermione's eyes opened, staring at her father over her mother's shoulder. He stared for a while. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of green, like those of Gwen's. He felt as if he were falling in love all over again. Hermoine shook her head, her long-ish hair almost hitting Gwen in the face. She was trying not to fall asleep. He tried hard as he could not to laugh. If Gwen wasn't careful, she'd soon have a mark on her cheek.

"Hermoine, you need to watch what you are doing," Gwen told her. Hermoine just yawned. It was obvious she did not care whatsoever. She just wanted to get some sleep. That is, until another toddler came by, being carried by Selene. The toddler was female, with bright green eyes and light black hair. Suddenly interested, Hermoine attempted to writhe out of her mother's grasp.

"Huh?" Gwen saw Hermione trying to get out, and that's when she saw Selene and the toddler, Rosaline. "Oh." Selene almost immediately noticed them, waving them over. Rosaline, following her mother's example, waved as well. Gwen smiled, walking towards them with Hermoine still in her arms. Guzma soon followed. 

Selene asked Gwen how she was doing, and simply acknowledged Guzma's presence. To be funny, he acted dejected for a while. Selene giggled at his actions, Rosaline following that example.

 Gwen couldn't help but smile at Rose's giggling. "I've been doing great. Hermione was feeling tired until she saw Rose here."

Selene looked surprised. "Is that so? It looks like they'd be good friends in the future!"

"I think so." Gwen nodded, setting Hermione down. Hermione immediately made her way towards Rosaline. The two young girls laughed and smiled, running in circles around the other people. Neither of them really made friends easily at this age, but here they were getting along so well! Gwen and Selene saw this, and were in awe. 

After the two had stared at them for a while, Guzma fidgeted with his hands. He then took off running after the children, making them squeal like newborn Tepig. Gwen couldn't help but giggle, since her husband was trying to make the kids laugh. And it succeeded.

"He can be so silly sometimes." the brunette grinned.

"Yeah," Selene sighed. "He really has changed, hasn't he? I mean, he went from stealing things from behind Nanu's back to 'Always got your back, honey!'"

Gwen sighed as well. "Yeah. And now he's a loving father and husband."

Shortly after, Guzma stopped messing around, and returned the two girls to their mothers. The two of them clawed at the air between them, something that people do when they do not wish to be separated. Selene and Gwen exchanged a look, and Guzma spoke up.

"Say, those two really like each other, don't they? Why not arrange an event where those two can play?"

"That would be great, honey. Thanks for suggesting that." Gwen kissed him on the cheek, turning to Selene. "Are you okay with it?"

"Of course. If they're friends, why keep them from each other? Who knows. Maybe they'll be Pokémon trainers like us!" Fira, the Litten whom set out on the journey that brought together one of the cutest couples, was an old kitty. It'd been at least five years since that journey, one of the most wonderful experiences. Who wouldn't want their children to experience that? Maybe she'd be a momma's girl, choosing Litten. Maybe she'd train Wimpod. Maybe she'd be different than both of them.

"Yeah, that'll be awesome if they did." Gwen grinned. She couldn't help but wonder what Pokémon Hermione would choose in the future.

What neither of them knew was that this event would contribute to the birth of a blossoming relationship.
