Work Text:

7:00 AM, Saturday morning, Kris and Susie’s household.

Kris had just gotten up from bed, Susie still clutching their arm tightly, a few claw marks still visible.

They could hear Susie mumbling some nonsense.

Her grip on Kris tightened.

Kris genuinely couldn’t remember what living without her was like anymore, they just felt so warm knowing that Susie was in their life.

Like usual, Kris gently pulled her arm off, and softly gave their wife a kiss on the forehead.

After gathering some new clothes, Kris walked downstairs and stumbled towards the coffee machine, trying not to pass out on the floor of their kitchen. They almost bumped into the piano on the way down.

Clutching a factory sized bottle of chocolate creamer on the counter, Kris proceeded to dump some of its contents into a large mug and place it under the nozzle of the coffee machine, before drinking some of the creamer on its own.

The machine whirred quietly, almost calmingly in a sense, as it filtered week-old coffee grounds into the cup.

Kris gently picked up the steaming mug and took a large sip, starting to finally wake up.

It was just then that a pair of small hands tugged on Kris’s pant leg.

“Dad? Are you doing that sleep walking thing again?”

 


Lo and behold, it was Risk.

Kris gave a small smirk.

“No, honey, just still a little tired…” They replied. 

Kris couldn’t help but stare at their child. “she looks just like her mother”, they thought.

The only difference was that Risk’s limbs were much more humanlike, and less muscular, but obviously this is because of how young she was.
With time she’d probably be even stronger than Susie, if they tried of course.

Risk meant the world to them, almost as much as Susie.

Kris thought about this nearly every time they looked at their daughter’s face.

They couldn’t help but smile.

“Are we doing anything today? I wanna go see the forest again.”

“Well we could.. but you should also ask your mother when she wakes up. She doesn’t always like doing stuff this early.”

Kris took another large sip of their coffee, trying to get their bearings.

“How about I make you something to eat while we wait for her?”

“Okay!” The child eagerly replied.

Before they could even blink, Kris saw her climbing up her chair and taking a seat at the table.

Kris grabbed some homemade pancake mix they had stored in the pantry, and began mixing it with water and butterscotch.

Kris took another large gulp of their coffee as they  grabbed the butter from the fridge.

“Where’s mom?”

“Still sleeping, Risk. She’ll be up soon, I’m sure.”

Kris slowly stirred the mix while taking another sip.

“Hey dad? How did you and mom meet?”

Kris nearly choked on their coffee from pure surprise.

“Well it’s- a very long story…. Maybe we could talk about it after breakfast?”

“Well, alright...” Risk muttered .

Kris placed their mug down for a moment as to not drop it.

Kris then heard a creaking noise from upstairs, and as expected…

“G’morning dumbass.”

“Good morning Sooz.”

Kris beamed after seeing her.

Susie walked over and kissed her partner on the cheek.

“Hi mom.”

“Hey there, how’d you sleep?”

“Good I guess, it got a little cold in my room though.”

“Why’s that?” Susie replied.

“I don’t know? It just got really chilly, like ice cold.”

“Well, I guess we’ll have to figure that out later, right Kris?”

Kris chuckled, still with a smile on their face.

“I guess we will.”

Kris took another big sip from their coffee as they flipped the pancakes in the air.

Susie simply smiled at them, remembering the day they met back at school, before the dark worlds.

Before all the shit they went through together.

She still couldn’t believe that Kris actually loved her back, and she’d never been happier.

7 long years.

And they haven’t changed a bit.

“Well, breakfast is done.”

Kris grabbed some plates and sat down next to Susie. 

“Pancakes?” 

“Yup.”

“Guess you read my mind.” Susie joked.

Kris placed a couple of pancakes onto Risk’s plate, and added a pat of butter on top.

Susie got the same, except with a lot more butter.

“So, what were you two talking about while I was conked out upstairs?”

“Dad’s taking me out to the forest again.”

“She wants you to tag along, sweetheart.”

“Well why the hell wouldn’t I tag along? It’s not like there’s anything else I would want to do today.”

“Especially when it comes to you two.”

Risk’s smile widened a bit while she ate her food

Susie tore into the pancakes like usual, always shoving whole cakes in her mouth at once.

She even ate another chunk of butter with it.

Kris just calmly cut theirs apart, staring at their family with a warm smile.

Kris had always wondered what having a family with Susie would be like, but even then they couldn’t describe how happy they were for it to actually happen.

They all sat there silent for a while, just sitting and enjoying each other’s company while eating their food.

They were quiet, but it was a comforting silence.

9:30 AM, In the forest.

“Cmon mom, keep up!”

“How… How the hell can you two run so fast?!”

“Try to catch up Sooz! Risk got their stamina from me!”

She could hear Risk’s giggling as she ran.

“Damnit, Kris.”

Susie laughed to herself as she caught her breath.

She saw Kris and their daughter sitting on a log in the distance.

After a bit, she managed to catch up. 

Susie could hear them both laughing.

“Man, how far even was that? A mile?”

“Don’t ask me, ask our daughter, I was following her the whole time.”

“Again! Again!”

“Easy kiddo, let mom take a breath first.”

“Heh, maybe Noelle would teach me how to run better. She did run track for a while right?”

“Yeah, she always loved running.”

The three of them sat in silence for a moment, just gazing at their surroundings.

“So, how did you and mom meet?”

“Oh.! Right.. I forgot.”

“It’s a very long story Risk-“

“Sooz, I said I’d tell her. Besides, she should know this by now.”

“Tell me!”

“Okay okay…

So, back when I was younger, still in high school, I was dealing with a lot of stuff.

At the time, I was distant from your aunt Noelle, and I didn’t really have any friends.

But, one day, a girl joined the class.

She was angry, rude, strong, she bullied people, she bullied me.

She singled me out constantly, never really bullied anyone else as often.”

Susie looked away for a moment, almost out of embarrassment.

“But, I saw who she really was under all of that.

A kind, tough, beautiful girl who just needed some compassion to be thrown her way.”

Susie’s smile came back.

Later on, me and her went on an… adventure together.

A world beyond our own, nestled in a closet.”

“A closet? Really?” 

“I’m telling you what happened Risk, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“Alright…”


“We met a certain… wizard… who kind of pushed us together-“

“Really!?” Risk’s eyes lit up.

Risk always had a fascination with magic and fantasy, it was just her luck that ironically, it wasn’t all fantasy.

“Okay okay, yes, a wizard, a prince of the dark.

"He was always very very lonely, until me and the girl came along-“

“His name was Ralsei…” Susie chimed in.

“He was… special to us. He was a good friend.”

Susie teared up a little from the thought

“Yes Ralsei was… very important,

I wish you could’ve met him, he would’ve loved you.”

“Oh okay, keep going please.”

Susie started telling the story

“Well after we met the wizard, we fought a small boy, a bit older than you.

He was small, but he was strong enough to give us a bit of a problem.”

Kris chimed in again.

“We fought many enemies, we survived many things.

The boy, Lancer, was only the first.”

Susie continued. 

“After we fought him, I ran off because, well I didn’t want to be around Kris or Ralsei.”

“So I just…. broke things.”

“Just wandered around, causing as much damage as I could. Caved some dudes cake in by taking a massive bite out of it, kicking some other guys into a hill, stuff like that.”

“I didn’t even enjoy it… I just.”

“Susie, it’s alright, it’s all in the past.”

Kris continued.

“Me and Ralsei explored a bit, before meeting up with Susie again. Once we met up again, she joined us, before later joining Lancer and fighting us.”

“I honestly didn’t want to fight her… so when I had the option to do anything I….

Complimented her hair….”

Susie began blushing a bit from embarrassment

“Safe to say it didn’t do much to her….”

Susie considered biting Kris then and there, but since they weren’t alone…

“A lot of other things happened, there was a weird machine, a giant castle in the distance, and-“

“I eventually joined back up with Kris-”

“She finally began to trust me-“

“We defeated a jester, and an evil king! And we managed to get out of the other world, with Ralsei saying goodbye..”

“We said goodbye to everyone else too Susie-“

“And eventually, outside of the closet,
I put my hand on your shoulder and.. I told you I… wanted to go back tomorrow….. with you.”

Susie and Kris’s faces both went pink.

“And that’s… how I met your mother.”

Kris and Susie were both embarrassed at this point. But their daughter was completely unfazed. She was smiling.

“Well.. uhh…”

“Maybe we should just go home, Kris…”

“WAIT. Susie I have an idea.”

Kris proceeded to whisper in Susie’s ear.

Susie whispered back.

“Are you sure that’d be a good idea Kris?”

“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be? She’ll love meeting everyone.”

“Well of course but, what if she.. yknow?”

“Sooz we’ll burn that bridge as soon as we pass over it, don’t worry.”

They both turned towards their child.

“Hey honey, how would you like to see where me and your mother met?”

“Wait really?!” Risk’s face lit up like the sun.

“Okay okay, calm down..”

“We can go, as long as you promise us that you won’t tell any of your friends about where it is, okay?”

“Well… alright..”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

Kris and their daughter both smiled at each other.

“Well come on, hop on my back, I doubt you’ll be able to run all the way over there.”

“Okay.”

Kris wandered through the woods with their family, as they carried their daughter to the school.

10:10 AM, Hometown School.

“School? What are we doing here? Isn’t it… Saturnday.. or something?”

“Saturday, and you’ll see why soon enough.”

“Can you get the door Sooz? I don’t have the key, or my lock picks.”

“Alright give me a sec.  I’m pretty sure I have my key somewhere…. Yeah got it.”

The lock made a subtle click noise before unlatching

“Ladies first…” Kris teased.

“Heh, screw you.”

It only took a moment for them to make their way to the closet.

“Is this the closet? Really?”

“Yup, right in your own school.”

“But no one ever goes in there!” Risk remarked

“Well, guess we’ll be the first in a long time.”

Kris put their daughter back on the ground slowly, and held their hand tightly.

As if recognizing an old friend… the closet doors swung open, revealing a blanket of darkness across the room.

“Woah” Risk remarked

“Are we going in there?”

“Of course we are, just stay close to me.”

Kris took a deep breath, and held their daughter’s hand tighter.

Kris, Susie and Risk proceed to jump into the darkness, together.

As they fell into the abyss, they all noticed their clothes changing.

Kris and Susie were no strangers to their current looks, but Risk’s utter bewilderment overtook them.

They all heard a loud thud as they hit the floor.

Risk proceeded to express her confusion.

“Dad?! Why are you blue?”

“Oh…. Right. Don’t worry, that’s normal here.

Why don’t you take a look at yourself?”

Risk looked at their clothes, and their eyes widened.

“Woah… What am I wearing?

It looks… pretty.”

“Heh, you were already pretty, think of this like a uhhh, upgrade.”

“Your mom’s right, you look very nice.”

Kris watched their kid spin around in amazement at the world before her.

“What is this place?”

“This is where me and your mom met in the dark world, Castle Town.”

“It looks so big, and colorful.”

“It wasn’t always like this, but that was because of us.

Hey Susie, how about you show her around. I need to take care of something real quick.”

“Alright, sure.

Hey, remember that boy we were talking about?”

“Lancer right?”

“Yeah! He lives here, he actually runs the town now.”

“Wow really? Can we meet him?”

“Of course we can silly! Here, let me show you where he lives.”

Kris split off from their family.

They wandered around Castle Town for a moment, just enjoying the sights once again, as they had hundreds of times before.

They slowly approached a large engraved stone, with Ralsei’s name etched into it, along with the Deltarune.

“Sorry I can’t visit as often… I’m just dealing with a lot right now…”

Kris kneeled at the foot of the stone.

“I’ve got a lot on my plate already so, it’s hard to take time out to see you….

Being a parent is, harder than it looks.

It’s a lot of work sometimes, but it’s worth it.

Between that, and my piano gigs, I just don’t have much time left over.

But I’ve already told you that a lot already, heh.

…..

I wish you were around to see everything that has happened, I wish you could’ve met Risk.

She’s the sweetest little girl in the world.

She would’ve loved you Rals.

…..

I hope you’re doing well… wherever you are.

I just hope you’re happy…”

Kris stared at the grave for a long while, just remembering everything Ralsei did for them.

It still felt wrong to not see him in Castle Town.

“Rest in peace, old friend.”

Kris wiped away a stray tear, as they wandered around to find Susie and Risk.

Castle Town had been expanded quite a bit before Ralsei’s…. untimely death.

Sadly, it was harder to expand without him.

But Lancer made do.

There was more than enough space for all the darkners to live.

Kris looked in the Castle to find Susie, but all they found at first was old memories.

Every time they came here, they got hit with an overwhelming amount of happiness, and dread from past mistakes.

Kris knew better now, but the guilt still came back sometimes.

It was one part of the story that they’d likely never tell Risk, along with the, “moments” that Kris shared with Susie.

Kris started pushing all their thoughts aside, and climbed upstairs.

Luckily for them, their family was still there.

“Hey Kris! Over here!” Susie called out to them.

Kris walked over to Lancer’s door, and they saw their daughter asking Lancer a LOT of questions.

The moment Kris tried to listen though…

“Kris! My pocket toting friend, how’s it been?”

“Good, how’s life been treating you?”

“Superb if I must say so, the town is still adding a few improvements.

Though it’s not exactly as much of a cakewalk as I expected, especially without any cake.”

Yup… Lancer hadn’t changed much at all

“Also, I got to commend you, I’m intrigued with your little one.

They have oh so many questions.

They’re like a fun sized Susie, pinkness and all.”

“Thanks Lancer… wait, where is she anyways?”

“I’m right next to you dad…”

Kris turned around and saw their daughter  holding a spade. It was more than half the length of her body

“Just like her Uncle Lancer, heh.” Susie joked

“I have to admit Susie, it’s still surprising to see you became a Girl-dad, but it fits you well.”

“Thanks.. I try my best.”

Susie stared at their child, they were holding the spade like a spear and jabbing at the air.

It was so adorable that Susie had to refrain from laughing at it.

“Well, we best get going, we’re showing her around all of castle town after all.” Kris remarked

“Well you two have a good time, I’ll just keep digging.”

Risk followed their parents downstairs, spade still in hand.

The family walked around Castle town a bit more, before taking a rest at the cafe.

“Hey Risk, are you hungry?” Kris asked

“Maybe a little…”

“I’m sure Swatch will have something you’d like.”

The three of them entered the cafe, a bunch of darkners filled the place, all enjoying some food and chatting.

Tasque Manager was singing on stage, with a few shadow men playing instruments.

Swatch was cleaning a glass, when they suddenly noticed the trio walk in.

“Ah Kris, it has been a decent while since you’ve paid a visit.

You as well Susie.

Though, I’m afraid I don’t recognize the young one.”

“Oh right… Swatch this is our daughter, Risk.”

Swatch was bewildered, he had never seen a lightner child before.

“This is your offspring? Curious.

I can definitely see the resemblance to the mother.

Only thing I perhaps didn’t expect is for you two to be the parenting type, no offense to you both of course.”

Risk was fascinated by Swatch, and to be fair, who wouldn’t. The man was large, towering, but not imposing. They had a polite yet straightforward demeanor. Overall, their presence was oddly calming.

“Well, formalities aside, how may I serve you today?”

“Hmmm…. I’ll take a cup of tea, with a lump of sugar.”

“Alright, as for you Kris?”

“I’m good thanks… could you maybe make something Risk would like?”

“Why of course.

I’m guessing that will be all?”

“Yeah we’re good.” Susie remarked.

Susie placed a few dark dollars on the counter and pushed them towards Swatch.

“Splendid. I will return in a moment.”

The family took a seat at an open table.
Risk sat on Kris’s lap.

“You know, I forgot how nice this place was, it’s been like a month since I last came here.”

“Well I always make it a point to stop here and get some tea, it’s always just really damn good.
I swear this shi-“

“Susie…”

“Heh, sorry.”

Risk stared at the stage performers, specifically the one playing the piano. It wasn’t as good as dad’s playing, but it was still very soothing.

The woman on stage had a great voice too.
Risk couldn’t remember if they ever heard their mom sing, but she was sure she had a nice singing voice.

Risk had always loved music, especially since she grew up around it. She’d sometimes go to her father’s piano jobs, sit off to the side of the stage or sometimes at a table nearby. She would always 
be invested in hearing them play.

The cafe reminded them of that a lot.

“Hey mom, have you ever tried singing?”

Susie was caught completely off guard by that.

“Oh! Well… kinda…

When I was younger I tried it out but, I just didn’t feel very good about it. 

Especially considering what people thought of me…”

“Yknow Sooz, I don’t think I’ve ever heard you sing before.

Maybe you could give it a try sometime?”

“Heh..  maybe.”

It was then that Swatch came to their table with a cup of flower tea, and a second cup that was filled with a chocolate colored liquid.

“I didn’t exactly know your child’s preferences, so I made this myself.

It’s a hot chocolate with cinnamon infusion, with dark chocolate flakes generously placed on top.

I hope you enjoy.”

Susie grabbed their cup of tea, and Kris grabbed Risk’s hot chocolate.

Risk grabbed the warm cup, it smelled incredible.
She almost stuck her nose into it by accident.

“Easy honey, don’t spill it.

I don’t have an extra pair of pants on me.” Kris joked.

Susie took a large sip of her tea. She seemed calmed by it.

Risk took a small sip from her drink.

She couldn’t even really describe it.
The flavor was extremely relaxing, like a warm hug next to a fireplace. It was very sweet, but not overwhelmingly so.

She drank the whole thing slowly while she continued to watch the stage.

It felt like an eternity, but Risk didn’t mind that.

“Hey dad?”

“Yes?”

“Could we come back here sometime?”

“Sure honey, just tell me if you ever want to.

It’s not like it’s very far away.” 

Kris smiled at their child before also staring at the stage.

They simply sat together, all three of them, enjoying the atmosphere.

“Well, we best be going, there’s a few more places I’d like you to see Risk.”

“Okay.”

Kris slowly handed their daughter to Susie, who put them up on their left shoulder.

“So, where are we even going anyways?”

“Just follow my lead sweetheart.”

Kris led their family back into the castle, specifically to queen’s room.

“You want to introduce her to Queen?

“Who’s Queen?” Risk asked

“She’s a very… silly woman.

You’ll like her.”

“Why do you wanna see her so bad anyways Kris?

“Well, maybe Risk can spend some time with her for a bit. Queen is good with kids right?”

“Well, alright…. But you better explain what this is for.”

Kris approached the metal door of Queen’s room.

A courtly voice spoke from behind the door.

“Come Innnnnnn”

Yup… it was Queen.

The door proceeded to open.

Risk saw a tall, shiny woman in front of her, drinking a glowing green fluid from a glass.

“Kris

How Improbable It Is To See You Today.

And You Too Susie

I Honestly Thought That You Had Dumped Me From Your Memory Bank.”


Susie would never admit it to her, but the way Queen speaks just made her have to refrain from laughing sometimes.

It was then that Queen noticed Risk sitting on Susie’s shoulder 

“Oh Now Who Is This”

“Oh right. This is Risk, our daughter.” Susie replied

“…. Daughter

Kris

You Had A Child with Susie, AND DIDN’T TELL ME”

Queen let out a regal laugh.

“This Is The Last Thing My Algorithm Could’ve Predicted

Well Maybe I’m Overstating That.

Oh I Suppose I Should Introduce Myself to The Child.

Hello, I Am Serial Number Q5U4EX7YY2E9N.

But You May Call Me Queen”

Risk smiled at the strange woman, despite having no idea of whatever she just said.

“Well, speaking of Risk… could you watch her for a little bit? Me and Susie need to do something for a bit.”

“Oh Why of Course.

I Can’t Even Remember The Last Time I Entertained a Child

I’m Sure We’ll Find Something That She’ll Enjoy”

Risk hopped off Susie’s shoulder.

“We’ll be back in a bit sweetie, don’t worry.” Susie said.

“Well I Guess I Should Introduce Them To My Archives of Data.

Have Fun.”

Queen’s door closed, Kris grabbed Susie’s hand and dragged her downstairs.

“Huh?! Kris?! Where the hell are we going?”

“You’ll figure it out.”

Kris opened the door to Susie and their’s room.

Susie took a seat on the table.

“Oookay…. Are you gonna tell me what this is about now?-“

Kris pounced on Susie and pushed her against the bed.

“…. Huh?!-“

Kris kissed Susie for a good couple of seconds before releasing their grip on her face.

“Ohhhh I get it now…”

“Yup.”

Kris smirked

“Oh you’re on dumbass!”

Susie pulled Kris in for another kiss

It was then that Kris and Susie got…..  intimate with each other, for a solid amount of time.

Laughing and “wrestling” noises were barely audible from their room.

After a solid 20 minutes, the two simply stared at the ceiling together, clutching each other’s hands, blushing, and covered in bite marks.

“Man…. We haven’t done anything like THAT in a long time. Fucking hell.

Shit… I’m all tuckered out.”

“If you had it in ya, we could go for a round two~.”

Susie went bright red.

“Sh- Shut up Kris…”

“Heh, I knew that would get you.”

Kris’s smile widened.

“You’re such a dumbass sometimes, y- you know?
 
Saying… stupid shit like that~.”

“That “stupid shit” is making you stutter right now.”

“Screw you.”

Susie’s smile was as wide as it could go.

The two just stared into each other’s eyes. It felt like it lasted forever.

They pulled each other closer, wrapping their arms around one another.

They both sat there, unfazed. With the person they loved most, lying in their arms.

“Oh shit, we forgot about Risk.” Kris perked up

“Fuck, you’re right.

We gotta go get her.”

They were so entranced in each other’s presence, that they forgot about the other person they loved most.

They both grabbed their discarded clothes and put them back on, before heading back upstairs, still blushing.

They picked up their kid, and proceeded to take a seat at the front of the castle.

They all sat there, viewing the wide expanse of the town ahead.

“Hey… dad?” 

“Yes?”

“When you were talking about  “dealing with a lot of stuff” before you met mom… what did you mean?”

Kris and Susie both stared at each other in silence.

Neither of them really knew how to tell their child this, nor did they really want to.

I mean, the kid just asked it out of nowhere to begin with, of course they didn’t know what to say.

“I…

I….  was doing some.. bad things.

I didn’t want to do them, and I continued doing them after I met your mom.

But she’s the reason why I stopped.”

“Oh… alright….

Hey dad?”

“Heh.. now what?”

“Could you play some piano for me when we get home?”

Kris was still remembering all the shit that they had done.

For the knight, Carol, and the others.

About how it was Susie that had helped them become free from their deal.

Along with everyone else.

Ralsei, Noelle, Gerson, even fucking Spamton.

All of them helped Kris break their shackles.

But now, they would love nothing more than to play some piano for their daughter.

“Of course honey.”

Risk started smiling again.

“I think we should head home now… it’s already past lunch.” Susie remarked

“Yeah… this was fun, but we should really get home.”
 
The three of them got back up from their seat, and began walking towards the entrance.

Kris got a glance at Ralsei’s grave again.

They almost began crying.

“Kris… you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, just remembering a few things…”

“Oh, right…”

The family reached a beam of light.

The moment they walked into it, they began to float back into the light world.

Their outfits returned to normal, and they sat right outside the closet door once again.

Kris held their daughter’s hand as they walked them out of the school building.

They walked the halls for a short minute, simply looking around.

Right as they got outside, Susie suddenly got an idea.

“Hey, how about we all race each other home?”

“Sure, how about you get a running start though?”

“Heh, you’re on.”

Susie dashed away from the school as fast as she could.

Kris held Risk back from running though.

“Dad! She’s gonna beat us!”

“Maybe she will, but I need to do something with you first.”

Kris reached into their jacket pocket

“Risk, I want to give you something, just promise me you won’t break them.”

Kris pulled out a pair of ornate pink and yellow tinted glasses, and presented them to Risk.

“I want you to have these, they belonged to a friend.

They’ll make you feel luckier, and have more confidence in everything you do.

They’ll make you feel, free, so to speak.”

Risk gently unfolded the glasses, and put them on her face.

 

“Do I look pretty?” She asked

Kris stared at their daughter once more.

Spamton’s glasses (or more accurately, Spamton himself) did look nice on her, but Kris couldn’t help focusing on her face again.

She really did look just like her mother, right down to her amber tinted eyes, though a little red was visible around the iris, just like Kris’s piercing red eyes.

Kris couldn’t help but think about how much she meant to them, how much they meant to Susie.

She was the most perfect little girl in the world to Kris, and they wouldn’t ever ask for anyone else to  replace her.

Kris couldn’t help but think about the fact, that if they never broke their deal with the knight, none of this would’ve happened.

They wouldn’t have survived the dark worlds, They wouldn’t have married Susie… they wouldn’t have had Risk.

Kris couldn’t imagine anything else more important than being free to choose the life that they now had.

And they had Susie to thank for that, every single day of their life.

They loved her more than anything else in the world, and they loved their daughter.

But Kris didn’t say any of this, they just held back their tears of joy once again.

“Yeah… you look very pretty.”
