A/N: Yay! Epilogue! Now after this the only way to continue the story is have a sequel and unless you guys give me ideas for that it's not happening because I'm stumped…so here's an epilogue for those that wanted it and if you didn't…well don't read it. BTW: I hope you like the song I'm thinking of either that or butterfly kisses for the Father-Daughter dance at my wedding.

Endymion stood out on the balcony staring at the stars. His beloved wife was miles away visiting the Outer Scouts, and his spirit was filled with loneliness. He wondered how he could have ever doubted the feeling of love and passion that flowed within him. He thought of the years wasted and the pain he put his beloved through, he forced back a tear as he knew he had been the cause of her pain for years.

"Why so glum my friend? That wife of yours will be here tomorrow, surely you can spend one more night without her. But then again you two have apparently been very busy during your evening hours." Andrew said with a wink as Endymion turned to face him.

"Andrew! What pray tell do I owe this honor of your nose burying itself into my lovelife?" Endymion said with a smile as he embraced his old friend.

"Well it's probably not my place to tell you but now that I've opened my big mouth, you'll end up beating me if I don't tell…though Reika will likely kill me for telling." Andrew backed away from Endymion as he pondered his dilemma.

"Andrew…what are you getting at?" Endymion asked knowing there was little his friend would hide from him.

"Serenity has been gone for what a month now?" Andrew began, Endymion grimaced and then nodded as a reply.

"Well she sent word to Reika that her dress would have to be modified, apparently her waist has grown quite a bit. So unless that wife of yours is making a bigger pig of herself than usual she's pregnant." Andrew finished with a flourish enjoying the look of shock on Endymion's face.

"Serenity is pregnant? I'm going to be a father?" With a small frown Endymion turned back toward the stars. "I don't even know how to be a father" he whispered softly but not too soft for it to be missed by Andrew's ears. He wanted to reassure his friend but knew enough when to leave him alone and let Serenity handle things.

Endymion's night was even more restless than the rest of the nights without Serenity. Now he had thoughts of how he would raise his child running through his head. Was he even ready for this? What if he messed up?

………………………………………………

In the morning the entire castle awaited the return of their Queen, except for Endymion. He watched from the balcony on the side of the castle. He would be able to see Serenity but unless she looked just right she would not be able to see him. He cursed his foolishness at hiding from his own wife, the woman he loved more than life itself, but how could he face her knowing that he wouldn't be a good father for her child?

From the crowd gathered in front of the castle Andrew looked up at Endymion. He slowly shook his head and took the hand of Reika. Instead of comforting him she shot her future husband an "I told you not to tell him" glare. Andrew cringed and focused on looking for Serenity's ship.

It arrived right on time and as soon as the doors opened Serenity burst forth, no doubt looking for the husband she had missed so much, but upon leaving the ship she saw no sign of Endymion. She pushed aside her sadness and went to greet the friends she had missed and all those who had come to welcome her home.

"Reika! Andrew! Not long now until the wedding, are you ready Andrew? If I recall you chickened out of the last one." Serenity gave a wink toward Andrew who laughed heartily.

"Yes but I doubt anyone involved thinks any less of me, in fact I think everyone involved is rather thankful, especially whoever you're carrying they have Endy instead of me for a father!" Andrew said with a smile as he nodded toward Serenity's protruding stomach. Serenity gave a slight frown at Andrew's words.

"So you know, am I then correct in assuming you have already told my husband." Serenity had a glint in her eye as she stared down upon Andrew.

"Yes milady, I am sorry you know how I am I can't refuse him anything." Serenity smiled at her friend.

"Nor can I." Serenity said softly to herself. "Is this knowledge the reason he is not here to welcome me home? Does he not want our child?" Serenity felt fear and anger welling up inside her as these thoughts entered her head.

"I do not believe that is what troubles him Serenity." Nephrite said coming up to his princess. "His Majesty did not have much of a family in either lifetimes, as a young prince of Earth he rarely saw his father and as Darien his family was killed when he was just a boy. I believe he fears how he will fare as a father." Serenity nodded slowly as realization came to her. Yes that did sound more like her Endymion.

"I believe I shall find him then and once he is cheered I shall return to help plan your wedding Reika. I'm so glad you decided to have it here at the palace!" Serenity gave her friend one last hug before running off in search of Endymion.

She came upon their bedroom and took a deep breath as she stepped inside. Endymion was still out on the balcony, it was always his place to think. He was far to deep within his own thoughts to notice her footsteps.

"I didn't expect the entire palace to welcome me home, though the one person I did expect was the one person missing. I guess that's what Raye is the spiritual one." Serenity said softly as she stood next to Endymion.

Enydmion didn't answer her as looked out on the balcony though a sigh of sadness escaped from his lips.

"I have one wish for our daughter Endymion, would you like to know what that is?" She saw a hint of surprise cross Endymion's face as she mentioned their daughter but it was soon replaced by sadness.

"She may not be every mother's dream for her little girl.
And her face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right as long as I can have one wish I pray.
When people look inside her life, I want to hear them say.

She's got her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can't be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same.
Just like her Father's eyes,

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in her,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be

She's got her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can't be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same.
Just like her Father's eyes"

Endymion looked over at his wife and gave her a sad smile. "You are the good one Serenity, and I am just the man lucky enough to have won your love. I know nothing of being a father."

Serenity cursed his stubbornness but forced her love and patience to return. "No Endymion you saw the good in me when I was just a mischievious princess that no one wanted to marry, you found a way to help me and my people in the great battle, on earth you were willing to end of suffering of a girl you didn't even know, and you've always understood the problems of others, that is what makes you a great King Endymion and it is what will make you a great father as well. Love and cherish our daughter as you do me Endymion and she could ask for no better."

"Oh Sere." Endymion turned and wrapped his arms around his beloved wife. She was his life, somehow she always managed to know his feelings and know just how to quell all of his worries. "I love you."

"I love you too Darien." Serenity gave him a wink as she pulled away "but come now we have a wedding to plan."

------------3 years later--------------------------------------

"Rini! Rini! Endy! Now where could those two have run off to?" Serenity wandered the castle and finally ended up in the commons outside the garden. There she saw them and it was a sight that made soft laughter ring from her lips. Endymion King of Silver Millenium was crawling around in the grass being chased by his young daughter. Rini apparently grew tired of the chase and leaped onto her father's back.

Endymion then began to gallop like a horse and gave his daughter a ride down the hill. Eventually he tired and took his daughter in his arms and laid down with her upon his chest. Serenity felt safe to approach then and came up beside her husband just as Rini was snuggling in his chest.

"I love you daddy" She whispered softly before drifting off to sleep having tired from the day's activities.

Enydmion's face was filled with shock as he registered his daughter's words.

"She loves me Sere, I I am a good father."

"Yes Endy you are a wonderful father just like I always knew you would be."

"We're a family Sere, a real family and my daughter loves me as I love her. There is no better feeling in the world Sere." Endymion whispered as he clutched his sleeping daughter to his chest.

"No Endy there isn't." Serenity said as she found a space on her husband's chest that her daughter wasn't occupying, and laid down her head. The pair watched the clouds overhead and listened to the soft breathing of their daughter, not needing to say a word, just simply being filled with love and happiness.
