Sorry it’s taken me so long to write the epilogue. I kind of forgot I said I would write one!! Hope you all have enjoyed the story!

It’s our wedding anniversary. Cain and I have been married for one glorious year. We’ve been like newlyweds the whole time. If I had a nickel for every time we almost got caught making love all over the palace I’d be a rich... well richer woman. The OZ has almost completely recovered from the witch’s reign of terror. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I’m meeting Cain in our room for an anniversary surprise. What he doesn’t know is that I have a surprise for him as well.

I walk into our room and can smell the scent of flowers. I look down and there is a path of rose petals leading to our bedroom. I follow the trail to a small table set up near the window. Under the candlelight I can see my favorite dinner has been prepared. I am smiling when two hands land on my shoulders.

"Surprise darlin."

I turn around to look into the eyes of the man I love more than my own life.

"Thank you Cain. It’s very romantic and special, just like you."

We wrap our arms around each other and kiss like it is the first time all over again. After a few minutes he leads me to the table. Sitting across the table from each other, Cain takes a small box out of his pocket and hands it to me.

"Happy Anniversary DG."

"Cain! We said we weren’t going to do gifts."

"I know, but I couldn’t resist. When I saw it in the window it reminded me of you."

I open the box to reveal a blue pendant the exact color of my eyes on a delicate chain.

"Oh Cain, it’s beautiful."

"Like I said, it reminded me of you."

"Thank you."

Cain gets to his feet to put the necklace around my neck, kissing my shoulder when he is done. He then pours us both a glass of champagne.

"To many more years with you as my wife."

"To many more years with you as my husband."

Cain sips his drink but I put mine down.

"You didn’t drink. What’s wrong?"

"Nothing I just have a surprise for you too."

I get up from my seat and sit in his lap. I put his hand over my abdomen and look into his eyes.

"But you’ll have to wait at least seven more months to get it."

The look on his face is pure joy and astonishment mixed together.

"You mean... you’re... you... and my... DG!"

He jumps up out of his seat with me in his arms and swings me around the room. We are both laughing and kissing at the same time. He stops, looks into my eyes and dinner is forgotten. He lays me on the bed and makes love to me so gently that it brings tears to my eyes. As we lay entwined he keeps a hand on my abdomen and gently rubs back and forth.

"We’re having a baby."

"Yeah, I just found out today. Raw came for a visit and he kept looking at me with this funny look on his face that was driving me nuts. Finally he pulled me aside and told me."

"This is the best anniversary present ever. Thank you DG."

"Your welcome but it wasn’t all me. You may have had a bit to do with it."

"Do you know when we made it?"

"Her and yes. Raw told me how far along I am so that means it was when we went on that picnic by the lake. Remember, I wanted to swim and you said we didn’t have any suitable clothes to swim in and I said who needs clothes to..."

"Her! We’re having a daughter!?"

"Yes. Raw told me that too." I put my hand over his on my stomach.

"This is the future Queen of the OZ."

"But first she’ll be our little girl with her mother’s eyes."

"And her father’s hair."

"Hopefully not her mother’s temperament."

"Or her father’s stubbornness."

We both laugh.

"DG this is the second happiest day of my life."

"What’s the first?"

"The day you came into my life and gave me back my heart."
