This is a Kranna one-shot. Warning! It's based on the song "With Arms wide open". I hope you like it. I'm trying my best to write good one-shots!

Nall: Would you just start already?

Me: You are so hurtful Nall! Oh and by the way, This is Kratos' POV!


Forever Yours

By: Katandshadow

There we sat. Anna, my love, the apple of my eye, the one who really understood me. Her dark mud-like hair fell down on her and me. Lloyd sat cuddled in her arms watching the rain fall down. I, myself, was sitting next to the two pointing out the raindrops. This was one of those pleasant days. We could escape the fact we were being hunted by Cruxis, and just be a family. Us four, including my protozoan (sp?) Noishe. It would probably be a few more days before Cruxis' leader, Mithos, learns of Lloyd's birth. Although I smile towards her, Anna, I feel a low deep feeling in my heart. A feeling of unease. Something is going to happen, even though I don't want it to. I don't want to lose them, I can't lose them.

"Well Angels heard, the news today. Seems my life, is gonna change. I close my eyes, begin a pray, then tears of joy, stream down my face."

I have a feeling Mithos knows about Lloyd and is just toying with me and Anna. I'm sure with all his angels he has, one has probably spotted us and went off to tell him. But the funny thing about this, is that we all are happy. For once in my life I belong somewhere, I am loved. My family. Anna looks over at me, she gives a smile and leans her head against my shoulder. I give her a caring smile. I know I won't lose them, they are my angels. I lean over and give my son and wife a hug. A caring hug. Lloyd smiles at me and whispers a few words in his own little language.

"With arms wide open, under the sunlight, welcome to this place, I'll show you everything. With Arms wide open"

Anna gently gives me a kiss. Then she gives me that smile I fell in love with. Her heart is so pure. I can tell she is telling me that everything will be alright. Lloyd makes a sound and we both gaze down at our son. He smiles warmly at us as he hugs Anna. I look at the sky and sigh. Rain falls upon us harder then it was earlier. I used to never like the idea of being 'dad' but now, seeing Lloyd and how happy he is because of Anna AND me, I can't help but like it.

"Well I don't know, if I'm ready, to be the man, I have to be. I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side We're standing tall, she created life."

Sure I love being a 'dad', but am I really ready? Am I really going to be a good dad? I can't help but think that I'm putting both of them in danger. Cruxis wants me, they need me for their forces, who knows what they would do to get me on their side. But as I turn to Anna, her eye lids shut. She falls asleep in my presence, safe and warm. Lloyd also falls asleep. The only ones that are awake are Noishe and I.

"If I had just one wish, only one demand, I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands. That he can take his life, and hold it by the hand, and he can greet the world with arms wide open."

My only wish for Lloyd is for him not to be like me. I don't want him to fall for the sides of evil. I don't want him to run away from his fears. I don't want him to give up. And I don't want him to stand by and watch innocent people die. I hope he is more like Anna. I hope, with all my heart, he lives longer then me. I hope that I will see him grow older, experience new things, and someday get married. I hope, no I desire that.

The night is coming to an end. The stars gleam brightly above. I turn to Lloyd and Anna and whisper to them as they dream.

"I love you both…forever"


Author's Note:

I think I might cry. Kratos really did lose everything when he lost Anna and his son. I'm so glad he finds Lloyd again in Tales of Symphonia. The poor guy! Please review. I know, this sucked.
