"I can't even call you baby anymore James, now Aiden is the baby."

Ariadne told him as she buckled Aiden in her carseat, they were about to leave the hospital.

"Well, it's about time, I'm not a baby anymore, auntie."

James said, relieved. Ariadne laughed and climbed in beside her baby.

"Everyone ready?"

Arthur asked as he looked back and Ariadne and James nodded, they were meeting Cobb and Philippa back at their house. As the following month passed, it was clear to everyone that Aiden was a pretty great baby, she almost never cried and she was always smiling. It was also evident that she was daddy's girl, Arthur and Aiden shared such an obvious connection.

"Alright, I think we have everything."

Ariadne declared.

"Bye, Cobb thanks for everything."

Arthur told him.

"Please, it was fun having another baby around for a while."

"Bye!"

Ariadne called as she got in the passenger seat. Multiple "bye"s echoed back to her. They flew back to Vancouver, when Aiden cried, one of the flight attendants offered to take her and she walked around the plane with her which the new parents greatly appreciated. Once back home, Ariadne took Aiden to the nursery which they had prepared beforehand. Arthur took their stuff inside and they passed out on their bed, glad to finally be back. It was the middle of the night when Ariadne woke up, the first reason she panicked was the emptiness of the bed, the second was the lack of sound for the time of night, it was 4 and Aiden usually cried at 3 because she's hungry. So Ariadne bolted upright and tiptoed to her baby's room. She didn't go in though because the scene she saw almost melted her heart, Arthur was there, bouncing Aiden.

"See, we don't need mommy, we can let her sleep, right Angel?"

The baby gurgled and Arthur chuckled.

"You know, we need to do this more often, you're really great."

He joked and Ariadne chuckled. She quickly realized her mistake as Arthur turned around.

"You're up?"

He asked and she saw so much disappointment in his eyes she wanted to laugh again.

"Yeah."

"I was hoping to let you sleep."

"I know, I heard. You're so cute with her."

Arthur chuckled and put her back into her crib. The couple went back to their room and Aiden decided to grace them with a few more hours of sleep. It was a week later when Arthur startled awake in the middle of the night with a horrible feeling, Ariadne woke up too, because of the movement. Arthur was breathing quickly as he walked to Aiden's room, to check that she's really there.

"Arthur, what's wrong?"

Ariadne asked.

"Arthur? I'm worried, talk to me."

She said when he didn't respond. Arthur soon reached the nursery and he opened the door. He went to her crib and breathed deeply, seeing her instantly calmed him down. Ariadne tugged him out of the room.

"What was that?"

"I had a bad feeling, I thought she might be gone."

"Arthur, we're done with that, no one has come after us in the last year, we're gonna be okay."

"I know. But with the life we used to live, It's hard to stop worrying. And I can't help wanting to protect what matters most to me in the world, that's you and Aiden."

Ariadne doesn't need to say a word, she just wraps her arms around her husband, breathing in the material of his t-shirt. There were a few other nights like those, but nothing ever happened to his girls. Two years later, Aiden was still very much daddy's little girl, she spoke now, not too much, she was very smart so she knew when to speak. The young family was very happy with their life, they thought it was impossible for it to get better than it already was.

A knock sounded at the door and when Ariadne answered, a seven year old James jumped into her arms.

"Hey!"

She exclaimed, thrilled to see her godson.

"I've been practising my violin so much! I even learned more lullabies because Aiden likes them."

"That's so great."

When they walked inside, Philippa was already telling Arthur all about her last test which she aced just like all her other tests.

"We have an announcement."

Ariadne declared once they were all sitting down for dinner.

"We're having another baby!"

She said excitedly. Everyone stared at her in shock.

"Yay!"

Philippa and James called, thrilled that a new baby will be with them at the table next year.

"You're pregnant?"

Cobb asked.

"Yeah."

Ariadne beamed.

"We found out a week ago."

Arthur explains. Later that night, when the kids were all asleep in their respective bedrooms (Arthur and Ariadne kept rooms for Philippa and James), Cobb thought it was time to make his own announcement.

"We're moving out here."

He declared.

"What?"

Arthur asked, certain he had misheard.

"We're coming here, as soon as possible. It's time. The house out in LA is still haunted by Mal, I've tried to accept it in the past years but the kids have grown up now and they're ready to live else where, I also don't want to wait too long because Philippa doesn't really have close friends yet so it's gonna be easier. And they both love you guys and Aiden so it only makes sense to come here."

"Well, I think it's a great idea."

Ariadne declares.

"Me too."

Arthur confirms. 6 months later, The Cobbs had moved in a 5 minute bike ride away from the Lewis', Philippa and James knew the way by heart and often spent the days of the weekend there with Aiden and their godparents. They were so busy, it seemed that every time Ariadne ran a hand across her belly, it grew a little more. Her scar was now reduced to a tiny, barely visible line. Life was good, they were happy.
