Disclaimer: I don't own the Underland Chronicles.

Gregor sat looked toward the blue sky. 'The sky. That's something I missed while I was in the Underland.' He sat down on the park bench and remember everything he had been through there. Now that time had past and he was no longer in the Underland it almost felt like a dream. He looked toward the park and saw a small brown haired girl running toward him.

"Daddy!!" she said hugging him.

"Are you ready to go home, Luxa?"

" Yes! I wanna see mommy. Can you tell me a story about the big rat and bat again.Oh! And the girl that's named after me? Can you? Can you?"

" Ok, honey, but first we have to stop by your grandparents' house. I promised them yesterday that we would pass by."

" Ok!" Luxa said cheerfully.

' The girl I'm named after. More like woman now. 15 years have passed since then. I wonder if she's married too.' Somehow the thought hurt him. It was the first time though but since he meet Juliet and got married not to mention had Luxa it started hurting less and less. Sometimes he wondered how it would have been if he never left the Underland. Would it be him and Luxa instead of him and Juliet?

He sighed. "Are you ok, Daddy?" asked Luxa.

" I'm fine. I was just thinking about something. No, need to worry Luxa," answered Gregor.

'Well if Luxa is married or not I wish her the best. Also Aurora, Howard,...' and he started thinking about everyone he meet. ' If only Ares was still alive.'

Gregor looked at his daughter who was only five. She was so different from Luxa but there was something about her that reminded him of her. He knew that the minute she was borned he had to name her after her. Juliet let him. He never told Juliet that the Underland was real but every time Gregor told Luxa stories about she would always stop what she was doing and listen. She would have this knowing look in her eyes. He loved Juliet with all his heart but as Juliet once told him " The first cut is the deepest."

"I will never understand women," he murmered.

" What was that, Daddy?"

" Nothing, honey," he said to the now skipping Luxa.

" Gregor!!" a teen shouted. " Hurry Up! Come on now! Your only 23! You still have energy in you!"

Gregor looked up and sure enough there was Boots. She was now 17 and enjoying every minute of it. ' I wonder what happened to the old Boots.'

" Hello!Aunt Boots!" shouted Luxa waving happily at her aunt.

" Oh come, Luxa! Don't call me aunt. It makes me feel old," replied Boots.

Luxa giggled. ' Sure. Have a conversation for the whole world to hear.'

Surprisly Boots could still remember the Underland even though she was so young back then. In truth she could remember parts of them. Mostly Temp and Tick.

" Daddy, you think Boots will tell me a story?" asked Luxa.

Gregor laughed. " I'm sure she will," he said. " Gods. How Boots loved spoiling Luxa.

" And later will you till me more about Luxa?" she asked.

" Of course. One of the things you have in common with her is that your both so stubborn."

Luxa smiled proudly.

" Come on then," he said climbing the the stairs of the apartment with Luxa's hand in his.

He loved Juliet and she knew that. She was the only one he was able to love since Luxa. But Luxa would always have a special place in his heart.
