Claire's POV

I laid Liam down in his crib and walked back to my room to see Jim sitting on the side of the bed.

"It's good to be back to normal",I said while leaning on the doorframe.

He smiled."Me to.Even if we have a new addition.You both are so important to me",he said.

"Well I knew that from the start",I said with a chuckle.

I sat next to him as he stared at his amulet."Do you think he should know when he's older,about Trolls",he asked.

"We've already decided on not telling him Jim.You even said yourself that he would be safer",I said.

"Yes but I'm scared that I might regret not telling him about half of his life",Jim said.

"I know.I am too but if it means keeping him safe,then yes.We must keep it from him",I said.

He nodded slowly."You know,we haven't been able to spend much time together lately",I said.

"I know.I wish I had all the time in the world."

"Same here but sometimes,the universe has something different in mind",I said.

"And what would that be?",he asked as I got closer.I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled.

"I don't know but we can always treasure the time we do have together",I said.

He leaned down and gave me a kiss.

"Night Jim",I said as I cuddled next to him.

I woke up groggily up the next morning to hear Liam crying.

Jim too was wake from the sudden high pitch cry."You want to grab him or me?"

"I'll do it",I groaned.

Jim laid back down and covered his eyes with his hands,blocking the bright sun.

I walked into the mini nursery and looked in Liam's crib.He immediately stopped crying and reached out to me.

I picked him up and looked at him."Now tell me why you had to wake mommy and daddy up so early?"

He grinned a drooled on my shoulder.

My nose shriveled up as soon as I spelled something gross.

"Jim!Your on diaper duty!",I yelled.

I heard him groan from his room as he walked into the nursery.

"What are we going to do with you?",Jim asked playfully.

Liam reached over to Jim.He took Liam out of my arms and laid him on the changing table.

"I'll grab the other one",I said as I walked out of Liam's room.

We made a makeshift crib for the little new born and put her in a room where Liam couldn't wake her in the mornings.

I walked in the room and saw her tiny eyes open,looking around in curiosity.

"How in the world are u not crying?"

I held her and gently supported her head as I walked down to the living room.

Jim was already downstairs,making bottles of milk for both of them.

"Breakfast is on the table",he said as he grabbed the small new born out of my hands.

"Thanks Jim",I said as I grabbed the plate.I plopped down on the couch and watched Liam play in his play-pin.

Jim turned the Tv on as he cradled the new born in his hands.

"We have to give her a name",Jim said.

"What?"

"Yeah,We can't keep calling her the baby",Jim said.

"Oh,I have some names.Violet,Isabelle,Lilly,and Cleo,"I said.

"She looks like an Isabelle",Jim said.

"Ok then.Her name is Isabelle Marie Lake",I said and I finished my food.I put the dish in the sink and got Liam out of his play-pin.

I gently sat him down on the ground and took my seat next to Jim.

He slipped his arm around my neck and scooted closer to me as Liam crawled into my lap.

"This is my family and I will always love you guys.Always"

***

They continued to live peacefully as Jim continued to protect his family at all costs.Gunmar never bothered to attack again but Jim knows deep down that he's planning something.Something that could change the fate of the world...Forever.

The End
