Hey guys! Sorry it really has been forever. I had absolutely no time for fanfiction when school started up again, but now I do! And I plan on staying put! LOL

I'm so glad you guys like the story, and I'm really thankful for all the support you guys have given with this one, but unfortunately, I think it's time this story comes to a close. It'll be brief, but I hope you guys like! Oh, and stay tuned for a new Spring Awakening multi-chapter. I've got a few things up my sleeve :)

So Enjoy! (and I don't own SA)

Melchior and Wendla walked home together hand in hand after their wedding. They were both so happy, so convinced everything would be absolutely perfect.

"That was beautiful, wasn't it Melchi?" Wendla said, staring up at the moon and stars.

"Absolutely," answered Melchior. "But not as beautiful as you."

Wendla blushed and smiled, feeling the best she had ever felt. They returned to their hayloft. Wendla undressed silently, as did Melchior, before getting into their night clothes. Wendla made sure the little baby Moritz was sleeping soundly before joining Melchior in bed.

"This is something different, isn't it?" she giggled.

"Yes," Melchior said, getting comfortable before placing an arm around her. "But it's perfect." And he kissed her. They were lost in love's embrace and found themselves in a place of pure ecstasy. But this time, they did it right.

Six Years Later

"Moritz!" Wendla called out into the fields. "Your father is home. Come say hello!"

Moritz, a now strapping young lad with a mess of dark hair just like his father, ran into the barn and threw his arms around Melchior. "Welcome home, Father," he said. Moritz noticed his Auntie Ilse helping his mother set the table for supper. "Good evening, Auntie!" he called to her.

"Good evening, Moritz," she answered smiling. "Isn't it nice to have your father back after his visit to America?"

"Oh, yes. We've missed him very much."

"And I've missed you all," Melchior added giving his son another hug before greeting his other children. There was also five year old Adelaide, the most curious child. Melchior thought she looked just like Wendla, but with his smile. She laughed and jumped into her father's arms, a common tradition in their household. Then there was the three year old named Ernest, the quietest of children. He hugged his father mutely, but was grinning from ear to ear-his best feature. And finally their newest addition to the family: a baby of four months that had been born while Melchior was away.

He scooped up the baby girl that Wendla had named Grizelda and planted a kiss upon her cheek. "Hello, my child," he said with a smile. "I'm your father."

Wendla joined Melchior with the baby. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" she said. "She has your eyes."

"She does, doesn't she?"

"Come, let's eat."

"Oh, but I've missed you most of all, my wife," Melchior said with a laugh, pulling Wendla into the warmest of embraces and kissing her on her forehead.

"And I've missed you. But come, we've guests to entertain." And she hurried off to the table.

Melchior laughed as he watched his bustling wife from a distance. How he loved Wendla! Her shining eyes, her radiant smile. To think that he had even ventured away from her to America for almost six whole months. America had been interesting, very different. He thought perhaps it could be a good place for them. But now, back in his home, he decided it just could not be. There, in their little barn house, with friends and family and miles and miles of fields for the children to play in and grow up in and experience it all. It was here in their home their children would make the mistakes even Melchior himself had made...well, hopefully not all of them, he thought to himself. But then he took it back. Because without that night, Melchior truly believed he never would have been this happy.

"Father, come!" Moritz shouted across the room.

"I am, my boy," Melchior replied, and he hurried to share a meal with his wonderful family.

Awww lol
