Life of Past and Future

Chapter twenty-six: Fairytale Ending

Two young elves of three ran through the flowers, their black hair flowing behind them. The young boy's golden eyes shined with mischief as he looked towards his twin sister. His sister's gold/brown eyes followed a blue butterfly, not noticing her brother creeping towards her.

"Sebastian, you leave Annabel Lee alone!"

The young elf jumped at his mother's voice, his sister turned to face him and the two began a game of cat and mouse. Their mother watched from the distance, her arms crossed and a soft smile on her face at sight of her children playing without a care in the world.

"My sister is looking for you, her son's wish desperately to play with their cousins."

Melissa leaned back into the chest of her husband as his arms encircled her. She laid her head under his chin as she watched her children play. She gave her daughter a stern look as she noticed her daughter grow and her eyes begin to glow red, Annabel quickly stopped her transformation.

"She takes after you."

"Yeah, I just wish the succubus blood wasn't apart of that."

Nuada nuzzled his face into the side of her neck, his eyes still on his children. His hands came to rest of her belly, that was already beginning to swell with a third child.

"Have you told your mother yet about this one?"

"No, she hasn't returned to the castle in Ireland. With her and my father de-aging and our large supply of money they decided to travel."

"And your brother?"

"Visiting the nymph's in Greece, so Melody can get in touch with her ancestors."

"I predicted that the blood in your family would eventually show, but I would have never guessed your brother's mate would also contain fae blood."

Melissa shrugged. "Well, it at least explains their sudden attraction to each other when they first met and why they needed one anther so badly."

A young centaur ran past them to lift Annabel Lee onto his back and continued to run away from her brother. Ansel stepped beside them as he watched his youngest son protect the princess from the prince.

"I wonder how long it will take before my son decides to court your daughter?"

Melissa's head snapped to face the centaur. "Not any time soon if he knows what's good for him."

"Courting can begin at any age for faes, my love."

"Well for me it doesn't start until I know she can behave herself."

The two male fae looked down to the queen.

"She's my daughter, she's a born troublemaker and rule breaker."

The two chuckled at the queen's serious face, she still remained amusing as ever, even after three years of being a queen. They all turned back to their children, who had decided that chasing the prince was much more entertaining then running from him.

"I have been blessed."

"Yes you have, my love."

The smell of smoke and the three of them turn around, Hellboy and Liz were making their way towards them with the twins and their young daughter throwing fireballs at each other. Their daughter was the splitting image of her mother, other than the very small horns perturbing from her head.

"And the demon has finally arrived." he grunted as an elbow met his side.

"After all these years your still an ass."

The children ran past them as their parents stopped in front of them. Melissa moved to embrace Liz, but then was pulled back into Nuada's arms.

"Abe's boy's are dying to play with their cousins."

"Well maybe if they didn't set fire to the playroom they could."

The parents moved to face the children again.

"Hey, gotta give those kids some props, they set fire with no match or oil." Hellboy said, amazed by Nuala's and Abraham's children's genius.

"Yeah, well look how smart their father is."

The family smiled as they watched the sunset behind their children.

"We are all blessed."

"Yes we are." Nuada held her wife closer.
