Hattori smiled and started.
"I know, but he needs to quit being a baby about it." The blacksmith started making some swords.
Hattori caressed her and planted kisses up and down her body.
Lucrecia sighed. "Seth, will you go find your father and tell him to get down here? I'm sure he's hiding up on the roof."
Hattori started to undress her.
"I wonder where Ryo ran off to."
Hattori gently laid her on the bed.
"So that's why you were gone for an entire year. It took me a while to get the grasp of managing the kingdom, but I'm doing a great job of it now."
Hattori carried her to their room.
"Nice to see you too, mom. Why did you and dad leave so suddenly?"
Hattori kissed her passionately.
"I'm up to ten now."
"That's your aunt Aerith, Zell."
"Now we don't have to worry about having anymore kids."
"Glad to see you back, sis."
Hattori came back home a while later.
Lucrecia sat on the throne with Zell in her lap.
"It'll be good to see the castle again. I'm curious to see how well Lucrecia managed the kingdom in our absence."
Hattori headed for the hospital. The doctors started on the operation.
"I've got to get going. The sooner I get this done, the better."
