Aphmau's PoV
(The morning after last chapter)

My eyes slowly opened to gaze upon the sleeping face of my husband. Wait.. WHEN DID HE COME BACK? Well, I fell asleep a little after Garroth and Laurance left, so probably after then..

His eyes slowly opened, and met mine. "G'morning princess," he yawned. "You feeling okay?"

I hopped off the bed. "Um.. Better." I replied. I got changed, and went to get breakfast ready.

"Don't I get a kiss?" Garroth smiled jokingly.

"Shut up," I giggled. "Not until you get rid of that morning breath. Anyway, remember, we've got a meeting here today about the barrier." We planned for Lucinda and Zoey to make a barrier of magicks to prevent the Shadow Knights from entering Phoenix Drop.

(OH, btw, so the dealio w/ Zoey is that she comes to Garmau's house after they have breakfast or whatevs got it?)

"I'll go wake the boys!" Garroth called after me.

Downstairs, makin- WAIT- (Warning- do not read the following in bold unless u watch adventure time.)

MAKIN PANCAKES, MAKIN BACON PANCAKES, YOU TAKE BACON AND YOU PUT IT IN A PANCAKE, BACON PANCAKES, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA MAKE,

BACON PANCAAAAAAKES!!!! *jazz hands*

ahem, so anyway:

As I put the plates down onto the table, I heard three voices greet me.

Malachi was the first. "Hey mom!"

"Good morning, mama!" Levin bounced down the stairs.

"So now can I get a kiss?" Garroth put his arms around me from behind.

"Stop it, you're sounding like Laurance!" I pushed his arms away, and gave him a plate, then turned to the boys. "Zoey'll pick you up to go to Kawaii~Chan's in a few minutes, so you better-"

"Eat as slowly as possible." Garroth said. "There's some fatherly advice for ya."

"If I give you a kiss will you shut up?"

"Gladly."

(THEYRE SO CUTE- oh wait.. I MADE THEM TO BE CUTE! IM SORRY I JUST NEED TONS OF GARMAU... IM STILL RECOVERING FROM EP 93 OF MC DIARIES.. BUT THEYRE SO CUTE)

"Uh, Morning! Oh.. You're.. Still eating? I'm early..." Laurance opened the doors.

I decided to invite him in. "Laurance, if you want, you can come eat; I made WAY too much."

"Brian's staying guard at the gates, and um.. Dante's here too.." Laurance gestured, and Dante came in.

"The more the merrier..?"

-The Actual Meeting-

Zoey came back with Lucinda after she dropped off the boys, and the meeting started.

"So, you guys are sure you want to do this?" Garroth asked. "Phoenix Drop is a lot bigger than what it used to be. It'll drain both of you a lot."

Zoey spoke. "Well, there's two of us, and the least it can do to us is make us faint,"

Lucinda nodded. "And the maximum it can do is just inactivity for maybe a day or two, maybe less."

"You're completely sure?" Laurance asked.

"Yep." Lucinda grasped her wand. (Wait.. Witches use wands... Right?)

"I'm up for this." Zoey said.

Dante stood up. "Then let's go!"

-Do I have to describe it? THIS IS A GARMAU STORY, I WANNA SKIP TO THE GARMAU-

-describes it, then forgets to save, then get frustrated and forgets about it-
^^ THATS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENED, AND IM FRIKIN LAZY. ^^

I walked over to the cherry blossom clearing after we put Zoey and Lucinda to rest. (NO DETAILS- JUST GARMAU) I laid on the grass as the small pink petals landed on me. I took a deep breath, and laid there alone, watching the clouds go by. Then I thought:

What'll happen once this baby's born? Will it be fun, or will it be annoying? It'll be hard, for me, because I'll be doing all the heavy lifting, I'm the one carrying, then having the baby... But.. What'll Garroth make of all this? I... I should put this out of my head...I'm not worrying now, I told myself. What if it's a boy, though? Then I'll be one woman in a house full of boys... But then what if it's a girl? She'll probably be a 'mini-me', like Garroth said. Um- I- Aphmau, think about something else...
Garroth.. Yeah... Hm, I.. How did I get him? I.. Don't deserve a man that risked his life for me twice... (STOP THINKING OF LAURANCE) a man who went two months in a soul chamber and survived just thinking about me, a man who loved me for all those years... And I never had a clue.. He's the best guy a girl could ever have.. He's nice, smart, loyal, funny.. Brave, kind, supportive... He's the perfect guy for me... (IM NOT DESCRIBING MY CRUSH... *runs and jumps out the window* STAHP.)

I felt a body lay down beside me. "Hey princess," Garroth spoke softly. "What are you doing?"

"Hi.." I cuddled up beside him on the grass. "Thinking..."

"About?"

I stayed silent. He placed a hand on my belly and gave me a questioned look. "Yeah.." I admitted. "It's just-"

Garroth placed a finger over my mouth. "We've got nearly five months.. Why don't we enjoy those five months?"

"Okay.." I snugged up close to him, and we kissed as the soft pink petals resumed to land on us.

He pulled away. "You feeling okay?"

"Yeah, you?"

He sat up. "Terrible." I raised an eyebrow. "I need more kisses!" We burst into laughter, until he got giddy enough to pick up where we left off on the kiss.

"AWW! I KNEW I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION WALKING BY THE CLEARING!" Donna squealed.

I broke off from the (two-minute) kiss. "Donna, please-"

"Oh, I'LL BE THERE IN A SECOND, LOGAN!" Donna waved in the direction of the merchants booths and ran off.

We sat there in silence for a moment, then a petal landed on Garroth's nose and he blew it off.

"Can we just sit here?" I broke the silence. "Just sit, or maybe lay here?"

"In silence?"

"Yeah.." I snuggled up next to him on the grass, and we lay there.. In silence, just feeling content in each other's company as the late afternoon was replaced by evening.

"Hey, princess?"

"Hm?"

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"I love you, princess.."

"I love you too.."
