Epilogue

I brought Sampson to a slow canter as we approached the castle's stables. He neighed in anticipation of the carrots he was sure to get when he got to his stall. I brought him through the gates and dismounted, leading him by the reigns into the building. Before a could get him into his stall something flew into my legs almost making me fall over. I looked down to see arms wrapped around my legs and a very untidy head of brown hair. I lifted up the little boy and he gave a shriek of surprise. I held him in my arms and then threw him into the air and caught him. He laughed uncontrollably and I could not help the smile that spread across my face.

"Time for my lesson Daddy?" he asked.

I smiled, "Only if you help me with Sampson."

I put him down and he ran to the back of the stable to retrieve some carrots. I put Sampson in his stall and removed the saddle and reigns by the time he came back. "Got the carrots Stefan?"

"Yup," he said as he held one out for Sampson to take. The young prince laughed as the horse nuzzled his hand to get the carrot.

"Stefan!" I heard Aurora shouting from the courtyard.

"In here love."

I turned to the doors to watch my wife walk in to the room. As always the room brightened with her presence and her smile seemed to bring warmth to the room. She was holding our one year old daughter, Ava in her arms.

"Stefan I told you to go and get cleaned up, your grandparents will be here at any moment."

The boy sighed and resigned himself to getting the tangles combed out of his hair. He left the stable with his head down. As he passed his mother he looked up pleadingly, but she was not easily swayed.

"I haven't had my lesson yet."

"We can ride later Stefan." I told him. He left moving as slowly as he could without getting yelled at.

"I don't understand what is so horrible about getting his hair combed."

I chuckled as I pulled my two favourite girls into my arms. "Boys will be boys there is nothing much we can do about that my love."

"Speaking of which, you need to get yourself cleaned up too. What were you thinking going for a ride so close to when they would get here."

I chuckled as we walked, "My father would think something was amiss if I wasn't late."

She smiled up at me and we walked into the castle. I kissed Ava on the cheek and she giggled before heading up the stairs to change. As I was entering my room I noticed someone sneaking around from the corner of my eye. "Stefan if I have to get ready so do you." He sighed and turned back around. He was just like me.
