"It must've been tough, but at least you're back with us now. I was so lonely without you."
Lucrecia laid down next to him and held onto him.
Lucrecia kissed him and smiled.
"I like your long hair."
"I always kept hope that you'd be back one day."
"It's time we head to bed too, Ryo."
Lily headed back to her room and went to sleep.
"Time for you to go back to bed, Lily."
"I'll try to find someone you like, mom and dad."
"Believe me, when Lucia finds a boy she loves, and when she feels she's ready to get married, she'll do it whether you approve of it or not, Ryo."
"It might be nice to have a couple of kids of my own, though." "Just don't do what I did and get pregnant before you get married, although I still think that was the best decision I made in my life. You should have seen the look on your father's face when I told him I was pregnant for the first time."
Lucia blushed heavily.
Lucia smiled happily when she saw her father.
"Mommy will have to teach me about using my ice power."
"Really? Are you going to teach me how to use a sword like Seth and the others?"
"She took time out of her schedule to play with me."
"Probably so. She's been around me too much."
"It's alright, daddy. You're here for us now, and that's all that matters."
"Yep. Mommy's been taking good care of me."
Lucrecia walked back inside with Ryo and Lily.
