Author's Note: I can't believe this is the end. But there always has to be an ending right, without it no story is complete. But on the upside there is going to be a sequel, though I'm not sure if I'm going to write it right away. Hope you like this chapter, and please review since it does happen to be the last segment of this story.

Chapter 25 – Kisses So Sweet, and Secrets So Deep

Three months had passed since Christine of Masbolle was born. In that time Kel and Dom had found out how difficult it was to take care of infant. She needed constant attention, she also took after her mother by waking up at the crack dawn to wail. But Kel and Dom loved her unconditionally.

In early December, Yuki gave birth to a baby girl. She was named Willow after her great-great-grandmother. Neal of course didn't drop Willow on the ground like he had when Christine was born. Little did he know that in ten years time, his little girl was going to be training to become a knight. Even if he didn't agree to it, Yuki was not going to deny her daughter.

The final wedding plans had been set, and Kel and Dom would be married the third week of January. As the days started to slip away, getting closer to the wedding, everyone started to become anxious. Of course Kel and Dom were the most anxious of all. Neal was still in shock of his new baby and still didn't understand how his cousin and best friend had gotten together.

The big day came, and Yuki, Alanna, Buri and Ilane were inside Kel's room all morning preparing her for the afternoon. Christine and Willow were sleeping softly and soundly in the crib at the other side of the room. Kel and Yuki felt so happy to have been blessed with beautiful baby girls.

"Kel stand still!" Alanna cried as she tried to pin up the back.

"I'm trying too, but this is taking forever!" Kel replied as she patiently waited for Alanna to finish.

"Okay Kel, now go sit on that stool over there."

Kel complied, and Yuki came over. She was holding a small box. Opening it up on a table, it was face paint. Kel didn't really want to wear it and openly stated this. The other promised that they were only going to put a little bit on. Kel et a sigh escape as Yuki took out a brush.

The ceremony started, guest filed into the temple. Ilane sat in the front pew, with her granddaughter, and Willow. She was ecstatic, her baby girl was finally getting married. Anders was sitting next to her, and Inness next to him.

Music started playing as the doors opened to reveal the wedding party. Kel's nieces, Lyssa and Rachelle entered first walking slowly down the aisle, throwing white flowers out. The bridesmaids enter, being led by the groomsmen, followed by Neal and Yuki as the best man, and maid of honor. As they make their way to the front, Kel is led down the aisle by Piers.

Dom stops breathing when Kel entered. She was beautiful in her gown, she smiled at him as she got to the front. He took her hand and they faced the priest.

The ceremony passed quickly. The next thing both Kel and Dom they were saying I do. A great cheer erupted throughout the temple. Kel and Dom exited down the aisle, Yuki and Neal following with the others of the wedding party following.

The reception is held in one of the great dining halls. The food is exquisite, and somehow Neal manages to have a little too much to drink, thanks to the men of the Own. Kel and Dom are off in their own little world at the high table, when a slow waltz is struck up. Dom leads his wife out onto the dance floor. Dom whirls Kel around the floor. As it starts to slow and finally end everyone claps as the couple stand there in the middle of the floor smiling at each other.

Another song begins and is a little bit faster than the previous one. Other couples start to walk onto the dance floor. Piers and Ilane who are holding Christine and Willow, look around for someone who can look after the two infants whilst they go dance with their daughter and son-in-law. They see Raoul standing and talking with a few men from Dom's squad. Walking over to him they hand off both girls to him.

"What am I supposed to do with two babies?" He asked as the Piers and Ilane walked out onto the dance floor towards the newly weds.

Wolset was chuckling as Raoul tried to hand off the two girls to his men. Raoul outed as a pudgy hand reached up to his face. He grinned and found a chair sit down in as he held the baby girls.

The evening's hours slipped away while everyone danced and gave their best wishes to the new couple. Kel was sitting at a table holding her daughter and chattering with Raoul when Lord Wyldon came to her.

"I didn't know you were coming sir," Kel said shocked to see her old teacher.

"Why wouldn't I come Keladry, after all you were one of my best students," he replied causing to blush at the compliment.

Raoul laughed at her, and said something about having to go see Dom about some bet he had made.

"Anyways I've come to give you you're present," he handed her some sheafs of paper.

Kel raised an eyebrow curiously. Wyldon motioned for her to read them. As she glanced over them she noticed they were ownership papers to a mare and foal.

"Sir I can't accept this," she said trying to give the papers back to him.

"But Keladry they are yours, Peachblossom is the sire of the foal, so you have the right to her," Wyldon told her, "and I can't give you the foal without giving you the mare. So they're yours."

Kel thanked him and he said there was nothing to be thanked for. Peachblossom wasn't going to last forever, and she'd need another suitable horse. He told her that this foal would turn out like her brute, but not as ill-tempered. Kel laughed and thanked him once more. He congratulated her on the baby and asks if he can hold her. Kel delicately hands Christine off to her former training master. He coos over the baby.

"She looks like you, you know," he says, "except for the eyes, she has her father's eyes."

Handing the baby back to Kel he excuses himself to go and talk to Raoul.

Kel spots Yuki and goes over to talk with her. They are chattering away, both holding their daughters. Yuki's daughter is the spitting image of Neal. She has his emerald green eyes, and his dark hair. Kel says that she won't be surprised if Willow turns out to have his sharp tongue as well.

"Yuki, oh my Yamani Blossom," Neal calls as he sluggishly walks up beside them.

"Neal how much have you had to drink," Kel asked trying not to laugh at her friend.

As Neal is trying to count how many glasses he had Yuki turns to Kel, "I think I'm going to have to put him to bed, goodnight Kel." She leads her husband out of the ballroom, holding her infant.

Guests started to leave as it was getting quite late. Finally it was only Kel, Dom, Christine and her parents left, they bid goodnight. Kel and Dom exited the hall. Christine was sleeping soundly in Kel's arms. She had of course been passed around to all of the family and friends. Dom had his arm around Kel's waist as they quietly slipped down the hall. Kel was glad that Dom had proposed to her a year ago, because if he hadn't she would have never known that kisses could be so sweet, or secrets so deep.

Author's Note: OMG I can't believe it's over! I hate it when a story ends, I absolutely hate it. But I'm so glad that so many of you enjoyed it! I'd like to know your opinion on the story, since it is now over. But there is going to be a sequel although I don't think I'm going to start it right away.
