A/N: I would like to thank those who have favorite, followed and reviewed this story. Upon a request, a reviewer had asked me to do a Wasilla chapter where Calista said Cedric's name so this is dedicated to them. I may not remember the name of the reviewer but you know who you are. I hope you enjoy the last chapter. I may do another Cedric and Calista story but we'll see what happens. Please review!

Calista

Chapter 3: Two Years Old

"Oh Cedykins, I'm glad you're here!" Mother greeted me with tight hug. I should have expected mother to open the door and give me one her most famous hugs.

"I wouldn't miss Wasilla mother." I said, placing a kiss on her cheek and returning the hug.

"Come in." she finally said, pushing the door open wider for me to enter. Once I walked into the cottage the smell of food welcomed me. I could already taste all the food that was being cooked, either it was Wasilla dinner or even deserts. Taking off my scarf and robe, I hung them next to the door with the other coats that hung there.

From what I gathered, it would seem Cordelia had beaten me here. Her coat was already hung as well as her husband's. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don't go say 'Hello 'to the others in the living room." Mother suggested.

I wasn't really in hurry to go meet everyone but what else could I do? After mother entered back into the kitchen I slowly made my way to the living room. When I had gotten there I saw father sitting on the couch and Cordelia and her husband on the floor with Calista.

"Well, look who finally showed up." Cordelia said with a grin. Getting up from the floor, she hugged me. "So how's my big brother doing, no messing up any spell or potions to put Enchancia in danger are we?"

"Nice to see you to Cordelia." I said, ignoring the insult that came out of her mouth. Once I had hugged everyone else I sat on the floor to greet Calista. "I don't suppose you remember me hmm?" I asked the little girl that was playing with the toys they had brought for her to play with.

After babysitting her a year ago I realized the baby was starting to grow black hair. Calista looked up at me, stood up and walked a few inches to me. Once she reached me I picked her up. "So you can walk now I see." She grinned and started to play with my hair. For once, she was gentle but after a few minutes began to pull.

Freeing my hair, I put her in my lap. "Hey, I know you're fascinated with my hair but play with your own." I said smirking. She looked at me for a minute but then hugged me as though it was her way of apologizing.

After she let go mother came walking into the living room "Dinner is ready."

Once dinner was over and we had finished our desert we went back into the living the room to open presents that were under the tree.

"Are you ready to open presents, Calista?" I asked her as I was holding her hand to lead her back. Even she didn't talk much for a baby her age she nodded and said "Yeah!" in excitement. I sat her next to me on the couch and watched as father handed out the presents.

Each person got their chance to open presents. When I had opened mine I received a new spell book from mother and father, a set of bows to tie around my neck from Cordelia and her husband and Lastly, I received a drawing of me from Calista. Even though the picture wasn't exactly a artist's work I loved it.

Calista was the last to open presents. With her being a two year old, it was no surprise she had gotten lots of toys. But when it came to clothes Calista received her first sorcerer's robe from mother and father. The girl's eyes beamed at the red clothing! Seeing this brought back a memory of when I received my first robe and wand.

Not only was it a tradition for men in our family to be the royal sorcerer but little children, once they start learning to walk received their first sorcerer's robe along with their first wand. Before Wasilla father and mother had asked me to present Calista with her first wand. Learning this piece of news, I was thrilled. This meant Calista was starting to use magic from inside her to climb walls or turn things in the house into different objects. When young children start using their magic uncontrollably this meant the child was ready for its first wand!

After cuddling the fabric I helped it put it on. "There you go." I said after I tied the sash. She jumped up and used the magic to make a mirror appear.

"Do you like it?" Mother asked. As for the answer Calista looked at herself and giggled.

"I'll say that was a 'Yes'." Father said grinning.

Once the mirror disappeared Calista climbed back to her seat on the couch. "There is one more present Calista." I said as I used my wand to make the present appear in my hand. "This is from me." I placed the wrapped box in front of her then helped her open it. Once I removed the lid Calista gazed at the object I had made for her."This will be your first wand Calista; it will help you channel your magic better." She picked up the rattle and with a grin and began to shake it.

We watched for a minute but then saw her float in the air. A chuckle escaped my lips as I pulled her back down. "So I guess you're happy with Uncle Cedric's gift?" She nodded then returned to her wand.

A few hours later Calista had tired herself out, due to the big dinner we had and watching Calista play I myself grew tired and in the end we both were sleeping soundly on the couch. With her in my arm arms we had slept there for the night.

When I woke up the sun was pouring in through the window of the cottage. Looking down, I saw Calista was still asleep in my arms. It would seem we had stayed overnight at mother's and father's. This had not been the plan! Gently, I removed my arms from the blanket that was placed on us, picked up ,placed her on the couch , covered her up with the blanket and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

I then walked into the kitchen to find mother making breakfast. "Good morning Cedykins." She said looking up from her work. I sleepily mumbled in greeting and sat myself at the table. "I guess you slept well?"

Stretching, I yawn and answered" Yes." then rubbed my eyes. "Why didn't someone wake me last night?"

"We were planning to but after see that you and Calista were sleeping so soundly we didn't want to wake you two. It was so cute! Eventually, Cordelia and her husband decided to spend the night. They're sleeping in the guest room next to ours."

"I see." I said as I took it all in. "Once breakfast is over I'm heading back to Enchancia."

"Very well, breakfast will be ready once you refreshed up in our bathroom.' Mother instructed. She always wanted us to be bathed and ready for the day when breakfast was served to us.

Getting up from the table I went to the bathroom to ready myself for breakfast. Once I had done all that was needed for hygiene I put my clothes back on and walked back out. When I was passing the living room I saw Calista was waking up.

Walking up to her, I watched her climb off the couch. "Good morning sleepy-head." I said grinning. She turned around and held her hands out, telling me she wanted to be picked up. I did as instructed and carried her to the kitchen. "Let's go see what grandma has prepared."

Once we were in the kitchen I saw everyone else was up and ready for breakfast. Mother had just put a plate of biscuits on the table and it looked liked breakfast was ready to be eaten up. I handed Calista to Cordelia and then sat myself between mother and her. As we were all passing plates of food to one another we began a conversation.

"You and Calista looked cute sleeping on the couch Cedric." Cordelia mocked me with a smirk. "It reminded me of your first time babysitting her."

I rolled my eyes, as I heard all of the others agree with her. "It's too bad we didn't have something to capture the moment." Mother said disappointed. "I would have loved looking at that moment, seeing my son showing his soft side."

"Yes well, I'm afraid you will have to rely on memory." I muttered as I used my utensils to eat my food.

"Perhaps." She answered back.

After breakfast I began to shrink the gifts I received last night into the pocket of my robe. I was about to head home to Enchancia to continue my duty as a royal sorcerer. Wasilla was over and it was time for me to head back, I had stayed longer then I intended and guessed King Roland would be wondering where I was. As I was tying the sash to my robe I saw Calista walking towards me with her arms outstretched.

A smile came to my face. I know I needed to say 'Goodbye' to her before I left. Bending down, I stretched my arms out to embrace her in a hug. When she reached me I picked her up, she was looking at me with sad eyes as though telling me not to go.

"Don't give me that look Calista; I need to head to go home." I said pressing my head to hers. She put her bottom lip out as though to give me the puppy dog face. Sighing, I began to think of a way to make her feel better, to make the separation easier."I'd like to take you with me but I have my duty to the king. I have to work; I can't play with you all the time."

The face she made was a little sad but not as sad as it was a minute ago. An idea to what to say came to mind and I decided to try it out. "I may have work to do but you do too." She then just stared at me as though wanting me to explain what I meant. "While I have to prove to King Roland and everyone else I'm a good sorcerer, you have to play with that rattle I gave you so that way your magic will be under control and the next time we meet you can show me what tricks you have been doing."

A smile came to her face which meant she wasn't sad no more. "I'm glad you agree with that logic." I said returning her smile." Now I really must go. Goodbye Calista." I said kissing her on the fore head but before I put her down she kissed me on the cheek and to my surprise she said "Goodbye Cedy."

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the last of this story. Writing the end of this chapter made me sad. As I was writing the ending I was think these two won't see each other again until "Gone With the Wand" I know they might have met again before then but that sad thought crossed my mind. Please review!
