Okay, final chapter of this fic *wipes away a tear* I would like to thank those who have stuck with me since the beginning, and through the times when I thought I'd given up on this story. These is dedicated to you all, please review with your thoughts, comments and please, please answer my questions at the bottom, not to sound melodramatic but everything depends on YOU. :) Btw I know I said it would be set three years later but I thought that wouldn't work with some of the potential plot ideas for a possible sequel I have planned out.

Enjoy, and thank you x

Epilogue: One Year Later.

Rose set down the dish she was magically washing onto the side boarding and glanced around her shoulder at Celina. The baby girl was playing with the huge pink bear she had received from Teddy and Victoire Lupin almost exactly a year previously. Her hair was curly, shoulder-length and platinum blonde, into which Rose had placed a purple ribbon which matched the indigo dress she was wearing. The little ringlets of her fringe kept falling into her ocean blue eyes, which annoyed the little girl no end. She caught her mother smiling down at her and stared up at her, trying to smile and baring her little teeth. She gurgled and the 19-year-old Rose turned back around to watch the washing up. She glanced above her head to a clock very similar to the one her Grandmother Weasley possessed. Instead of telling the time, it told of the whereabouts of each of her little family member and had been very hard to get hold of.

"Daddy'll be home soon, Cee" Rose said in a sing-song voice, referring to Scorpius Malfoy's clock hand, which pointed in between "work" (which was now Co-Head of Magical Games and Sports) and "home". The baby gurgled.

"Daddeeeeeey!" She squealed delighted.

"That's right!" Rose beamed, stroking her once-again swelled stomach. She was 3 months pregnant again. To Rose it seemed that half her life had been taken up by pregnancy, not that she was complaining. Little Celina had made her and Scorpius so happy, as had the news of the new baby. Suddenly there was a crunching of gravel on the path in the garden outside and Rose rushed towards the front door. Scorpius's clock hand now pointed to 'home'.

"DADDEEEEEY!" Celina screamed as the door opened and Scropius' boyish smiling face appeared around the door.

"Where's my little girly?!" Scorpius boomed, stepping into the cottage. Celina pointed at her dad and squealed loudly, she dropped her hands and began pulling at her toes.

"There she is!" He said stooping and picking up Celina. She giggled insanely and as Scorpius held her above his head, she grabbed a hank of his hair and pulled hard, laughing. Rose cracked up watching the little girl trying to scalp her father.

"OW! Don't do that to Daddy, honey" He said bringing her to his eye level and gazing into the blue eyes that so reminded him of his wife. Celina responded by poking him in the eye.

"OW!" He yelped, his eyes watering. He kept one eye shut as he talked to her.

"Do you have a passion for hurting Daddy?" He laughed good-naturedly. Rose's heart swelled and he passed Celina to her and collapsed on the sofa, running a hand through his already windswept hair.

"Come on Missy, time for bed I think" She said poking her daughter in the stomach softly and tickling her gently. The little girl giggled.

"Mummeeeey!" She commanded in a bossy voice, making Rose feel as if she was being told off and pleaded with at the same time.

"No way Cee, you're already way past your bedtime" Rose laughed, carrying her upstairs and plopping her into her cot where she sat, gurgling contentedly and bashed the toy phoenix she had received from Astoria and Draco nearly a year ago against the bars of her crib. Rose sat in the rocking chair and closed her eyes. Celina's bashings receded to a half-hearted tug at the bars- she loved trying to destroy her cot. Soon enough the little girl's noises and gurgling were reduced to the sounds of baby snores. Something soft rubbed against Rose's legs and she opened her eyes and looked down to see their new cat, Apollo.

"Hello you" She said patting her lap wearily. The nearly fully-grown cat jumped willingly into Rose's lap and curled into a ball, his head resting against her bump. Rose, completely worn out, began to doze off in the chair. She awoke in what seemed like minutes and realised that she was in bed. It was dark and where Scorpius should lie, there was an empty warm space which he'd left when he had gotten up to see to Celina. Apollo must have come back to see Rose, for he had come to find her and was now lay on her baby bump, as if guarding it. She scratched behind the grey-tabby cat's ears gently. She had just closed her eyes again when Scorpius padded across the room and climbed back into bed. He snuggled close to her and stroked the hair out of her eyes, like he always did when he was watching her sleep. Her eyes snapped open and she stared up at him in the dark, knowing he was watching her too. His lips brushed against hers lovingly and she pulled him down so he lay down fully, facing her in the darkness. He stroked the hair out of her way and cupped her cheek.

"You'll always be my number one girl, you know" He whispered into the gloom.

"And you'll always be my number one man." She said, before she snuggled deeper, laying against his bare chest. They fell asleep in each other's arms that night, just like every other night, but did so reluctantly because they both knew in their heart of hearts, that their waking lives were now far better than that of the dreaming.

The End.
