Too many Fandoms!

"They don't!"

"They do!"

"They don't!"

Finally, in front of him, the kids stopped.

"Dad! Tell Lambert the pirates  exist"

"They can't exist!"

"They do! They gave dad that eye patch!"

Oh.

"Well Pirates still exist, there is in another place probably because I haven't heard of them in many years"

"See!"

"But I didn't get the eye patch because of one of them"

"You did not?"

"No, it was in a fight"

"Oh! Could you tell us more!"

The shinning in his kids' eyes was too much, he spoke to fast and without thinking

"Very well sit down then" both fastly did, he saw how Amelie looked at him and then go back to knitting, which meant she was hearing too. Byleth took his arm more firmly and moved closer resting on his shoulder, she was hearing too.

"Many years ago when a war started in Fodlan and I escaped from Faerghus I didn't have no one to rely on, I didn't know where my friends were if Dedue was alive or even if your mother was alive, I was all on my own, I get to an old cathedral to stay the night, you may not know but I was framed from murdering my uncle so I couldn't stay or go to Faerghus because of it, so I could stay in places for very little time, I had to hunt animals and find fruit to survive, it was a really horrible experience, anyway, I thought I was alone in that place, but a man was there too, a bad horrible man"

"Was he scary?"

"Very scary" Lambert gasped

"He had gross hair a horrible smile that gives me chills more than security and eyes that expressed how much he wanted to end me, at first he didn't do anything but he knew who I was and what I had done in my days in the academy and in Faerghus..."

"Did you know him?"

"I did"

"What was his name?"

"I... Don't remember right now maybe later I'll remember, after he told me all that, he told me how I shouldn't be there still living while others gave their lives for me, how nobody really cared about me, how I should just..." He looked down and felt Byleth intertwine their hands "how I should just stop being alive, he didn't had any weapon and so he took a piece of Mirror and pointed at me, I was defenseless and he could have killed me right then and there"

"But you defeat him!"

"Yes you could say that, but even though I tried my best to stop him he hit me in the eye, is not something pretty my scar"

"What happened next?!"

"I... Remembered something your mother told me...after it I could defeat him... But I couldn't kill him, sometimes I thought he was following me some other time I saw him, even now I don't know when could he come for me next"

"Will he hurt us?"

"No, he will never hurt any of you as long as I'm here" the two smiled.

"And as long as you two keep training he won't either!"

"I'm going to be as strong as you one day!"

"Me too!"

"Me too..." He heard Amelie last.

"Then give it your all in the training"

Then the night came and the kids were finally sleeping.

All that playing outside tired them out and now was their turn to sleep too. In his big comfy bed. That's what Dimitri expected, but Byleth had other plans

"Dimitri?" She sounded worried.

"Mh? What is it? Do you want something to eat? I can go to the kitchen and get you something" whatever she wants, it doesn't matter how strange does it sound.

"No, the man you talked about in the story you told the kids..."

"What about him?"

"Could it be..." He starts sweating bullets he knew his wife was smart so she probably noticed already.

"That you were that man?"

Silence.

Then a quiet sigh, he couldn't hide it from her, could he?.

"Yes..."

"So the scar, you did it yourself"

"That's right... I had many ghosts in that Moment, maybe I couldn't face them right away, I wanted to end everything once and for all... But something stopped me"

She looked puzzled.

"You, my love, I thought what would you feel if I were to die, when I got hurt you did your best to take care of me, your father dying made you cry... And I didn't want to see that ever again... So I keep myself alive... But the voices keep ringing harder and harder and... Well, you saw what happened" he felt her hand on his.

"He will not come back Dimitri, we'll make sure of it"

He believed in that.

Not only he forgot about it he put it in a room which became his twin's room. They were ten right now, Jeralt thirteen, Leo was 6 and his baby Alexei just turned one. He loves his children very much. Like. A bunch. He doesn't have words enough to express how much he loves each one of them. Like more than Byleth. And he thought he'll never love someone as much as he loves Byleth and Look! Five kids defeated that love. Amazing... But back to the topic... He forgot to tell just how much and now his kids were all around that boxes of stuff looking through everything. At his side Byleth. They had just opened the door to see them and he instantly remembered that box... "What are you all looking at?" Byleth entered the room and kneeled beside the twins. "We found this box over the closet!" His son Lambert (one of the twins) looked at her happily. "There are many things inside but mostly letters and so" Jeralt joined them. "I see" she looked at Alexei who was in his sister's arms "He's a comfortable mother" Ah, that stoicism. Reminds him of when he first met his wife. "Your majesty?" Oh, right he was still in the entrance. "S-sorry I spaced out" more like got worried but anyway. He entered and seated next to Byleth. "Mom! This one is for you!" Leo holds a letter to her. Wait... No... NOOOOOOOO Letter?! He remembers that letter!!!! HE REMEMBERS ALL THE LETTERS!!!!!! he starts sweating bullets. "For me?" She took it and saw the calligraphy, she knew it very well after all she is married to that calligraphy. Then saw in cursive letters from Dimitri Alexander Blaiddyd. "Dimitri?" Oh God, he was doomed if she read something so embarrassing he might as well die. "You wrote this? Is this your stuff?" He could lie, HE COULD LIE IF IT WASN'T BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO LIE TO HIS WIFE AFGNSKSKSACVSKXOEIYETEVSNOSUXBRNRI He hated himself for not burning them when he could. "Uh...y-yes, it was in our time at the academy" "Ah" she looked happy and opened the letter. And got the paper out to read it. "What does it say, mother?" Oh, Amelie... Why you?... Why did you have to ask? Don't you see your father suffering from just pieces of that letter and you want Byleth to read it all? Why? "It says" Dear professor Byleth I'm very grateful for all you have shown me in battle and school and all social events. Meeting you had been one of the greatest moments in my life, without you professor I wouldn't have learned as much as I have right now, and I hope you remember the promise you made to me, going back to the kingdom as a knight. Well no... I want more of you. Not as knight Pardon my bluntness but Professor you're truly beautiful, every aspect of you is the most amazing part of you. Your smile is so captivating, the moment I first saw it my heart start beating faster and faster until I thought I'll die, your hair from such a beautiful blue sea color reminds me of the tranquility in Fhirdiad, your kindness warms my heart. What I meant to say Professor is that I have feelings for you. Not just as a student but as a Man and my dream is to you to reciprocate those feelings just as much and come back to Fhirdiad with me engaged and to have a wonderful wedding surrounded by our loved one. I want your professor as a woman, not a teacher or friend. I hope this doesn't look as an inconvenience, you can in all your right reject my feelings I won't hold a grudge against you. Please answer this letter in person as soon as you can.

Yours truly Dimitri Alexander Blaiddyd.

Those were his mornings, and at night he'll be next to the crib and watch him, he looked so peaceful like that it was adorable. To think he and his wife made such an adorable baby, he loves his child so very much! He wants to spend all the time with him and his wife! Why can't he?!!!!! And another pen broke... He takes one from the drawer a hundred pens there. Then he heard a laugh outside, his window, which was in front of the Garden. He knew that laugh. Ah, that beautiful laugh, his wife's laugh... Did he say, beautiful wife? No? Well, beautiful wife! He loves her, there are not enough words to express how many feelings he has towards her, love, admiration, passion, lust, he has more but he decided to better go to the window and saw her, she had his baby on her arms though her back was to him. He knew he had work... Ah, but his baby and wife were too tempting... Just a little talk will calm him. "Beloved!" Byleth goes around now both her and Jeralt looking at him. What was he wearing?! They both got close and the baby looked at him. His bright green eyes looked at him so curious, it was beautiful, and that... That... That lion pajama he had, if he wasn't the most adorable baby ever he doesn't know who is it. But he's glad it is his baby. Agh!!!!! But he can't go outside! He has to finish those papers! He never thought his wife from all the people will do this to him! Bring his child close but far away. He needed to finish those as fast as he could, he had to see his baby dress like that! Well, he saw his baby but..but... BUT HE HAD TO TAKE HIM BETWEEN HIS ARMS no, he didn't care he was going to end those papers in an hour or he wasn't Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd-Eisner!

"Don't give me that look, my love, it hurts me to see you like that" "I should be the one saying that you got sick and you just get worse and worse no sign of recovery..." She took the cloth away. "There's something else, right?" ".... Some say... That probably you won't survive" "....." "They're rumors of course but... But I can't help but think of losing you... I will be heartbroken..." She felt his hand on hers, they were cold as ice. "Please don't fret over it" "But" "If it were my time to go, I could only say I had a wonderful life, I married the love of my life, had 5 beautiful kids and did my very best for a better Fodlan. I think I did my best..." "And you will leave a lot of people with a heartbroken, your child's, your wife, your friends... Everyone" "....I suppose yes..." "And at the same time," he felt her tremble "I don't want you to suffer... But losing you, will kill me...am I Selfless?" "No my love, I would feel the same, but if I can choose, I want to have my last moments with my family" She smiles "You should teach Jeralt all the things to be a king then" "I believe from the two you're the more adequate for the work" She giggled "Just because I was a professor doesn't mean I can teach him everything, besides it would be a good Father-son time" "Ah right..." Another fit of coughs, he put his hand over his mouth and seated, she fastly put a hand on his back. "I'm *cough* I'm fine" She looked worried. He finally stopped and got down again. "I'm sorry to be such a charge to you" He looked weakly at her. "Nonsense, I did a vow, in health and illness, all be by your side until death takes us apart and beyond" He smiled. "Can I ask you about something?" "Of course" "Can you sleep tonight with me, like the first time we sleep together after getting married?" She gave a loving smile at him. "Of course Dimitri" She got at his side and put her head over his chest" "I love seeing you there" "Over your chest?" "Yes, I can have you as close to my heart as I can" she smiled again. "I love it too, I can hear your sweet and soft heartbeat, it's very calming" "I'm glad" he gave her a kiss on the forehead "I love you Byleth, no matter what you are my light" "I love you too, and I will love you till the end of my days and in my next life and the next and the next after that" He laughed. "I will too, I'll find you no matter what in the next life I live" "Then, it's a promise" "Yes, a promise" they kissed and drifted to sleep.
