Kaelyn: ** Kae had enjoyed having their first visitors to their home and now was grateful to be able to sit in the garden Darius had planted for her. She had not been feeling well for a few weeks now, she sat on a small bench next to the roses and began to think of all that had taken place in the last few months... when it suddenly dawned on her. She had not had her monthly in about a month or so now. Could she be? Oh she wanted to shout and dance around, but what if... what if she were wrong... did she dare to hope that her dream of having a baby with Darius was coming true? She laid her hand on her still flat on toned belly as her eyes filled with tears of hope and joy. " Oh please by all that is holy let it be true, let it be that I carry my loves babe within me." she whispered as she rubbed her stomach gently as if doing so would make it so.**
Raven: Raven had been working hard building a shelter for the horses to have shade and shelter from foul weather. But it was time for a break. Shirtless and sweating from his exertions he sought her out in the garden, always knowing where to find her. He smiled as he watched her, his gaze following the motion of her hand as she rubbed her belly. He grinned a little more wondering if she finally realized what he already knew. He had been married before and his first wife had some of the same symptoms as Kae was now having. Darius just wanted her to know it too. He knew she would tell him as soon as she realized it. He again smiled again to himself. (d)
Kaelyn: ** So lost in her thoughts she was that she did not even sense his approach... so unusual for her for it was as if he was a part of her. She smiled softly and wiped away her tears.... how she could not wait to tell him... for she was more than sure now as she had thought back to the last time she had her flux and knew without a doubt that she was well and truly with child. It would as well explain why she was sick especially in the mornings... " Darius.... I have to tell him." she spoke softly to herself she stood and wobbled a bit. Quickly taking a seat once more on the bench... " Mayhap I need to move slower, what say you my wee one." she teased herself softly. It was then she felt him near and suddenly was not sure how he would feel about once more being a father. Kae knew he had a child once before and lost him to a sickness and fever as well as his first wife. She looked over to see him shirtless and watching her " 'Ello husband and how long have you been there?" she asked with a bright smile for him.**
Raven: He grinned at her and came towards her. " Nae bu' a few moments love. " He said softly as he nuzzled his face into her neck when he sat down next to her. His hand lifted to stroke the tears on her cheeks and gave her a concerned look. " Why dae ye cry my heart? wha' is wrong?" (d)
Kaelyn: ** Kae ran her fingers in his hair as he nuzzled her neck, and sniffled softly. " Darius... my love nothing is wrong. I .... I ." she began to stutter as her nerves kicked into what felt like hyper speed. " My beloved...I have just realized something and I am so happy... I hope you are as well." she turned so she could look deep into his sexy green eyes " I believe I am with child Darius.. I have not had my monthly in a month now." she watched his eyes trying to read his emotions. Then suddenly fear raced through hers." Holy Odin... I may have been with child when we confronted Jonathan... oh God Darius what if?" her words trailed off as the horror of that thought struck her heart like and arrow.**
Raven: At the look on her face he simply pulled her into his lap and held her tight. " I had suspected tha' ye were love,we did have a romantic honeymoon afterall. He paused waiting for her nod. When it came he whispered. " Sae it is verra likely tha' is when you became pregnant." He grinned then and buried both hands in her hair and whispered. " Ye have made me th' happiest man. Ye know tha?" the thought of her carrying his baby was a thrill he had wanted for a very long time now. (d)
Kaelyn: ** As he spoke she nodded slowly and blushed as she remembered how they came together in a fury of love and need. How could she forget all the took place thereafter " Are ya truly happy my love... I know we have not been married long and have yet to get settled in, but more than anything I wanted to give you another babe." her voice soft as she clung to him and shifted slightly on his lap. " What if I had lost this babe... " she shuddered at the thought " Can you forgive me for not knowing sooner or for being so foolish as put our child at risk?" her voice was a whisper against his neck as she buried her face into it.**
Raven: He cradled her face in his hands and met her gaze. " Ye did nae know my love. Twas nae yer fault. Tis I who did nae keep a close enough watch tha' tha' little bastard coul' get close enough tae ye. Bu' he is gone now dead by m' own hands. " He whispered softly. He looked deep into her eyes and then kissed her deeply passionately letting her feel his reactions to her as his hands slid down to hold her and bring her against him before whispering against her soft lips. " I am verra happy tha ye are carrying our first babe. None will ever replace m'son from m' first marriage, none should ever feel th' need tae. " He placed his hand on her soft belly and held it there. " I will love this child as I loved little Darius which is as it should be." He whispered before lifting his gaze to hers again. (d)
Kaelyn: ** His hands framed her face as he spoke " Nay husband the fault is not yers alone it was mine as well for letting him bait me as he did with Zeb... I should have more vigilant myself." then he kissed her and all thoughts were drowned out by the love and heat of that kiss. " I know that my heart... this child is the best of you and I." she smiled at him. His first born had been named for him? She did not think he had told her that before... " If we have a son I would like to name him after my father as he was a great man who loved us both." she said softly though she had hoped to name their son after him she knew it would not be right to the memory of his son.**
Raven: He smiled softly at that and nodded. "Aye, if tis a boy we can name him after yer father." He nuzzled his face into her neck and whispered. " And if tis a girl?" (d)
Kaelyn: ** Her eyes filled with tears of joy as they sat together talking of the child she carried " Hmmm we could name her after your mother?" her eyes twinkling as she met his gaze. All her love for him was there in the blue depths of them .**
Raven: " M'Mother's name was Jelani. She was a sweet tempered little woman who would not hurt a fly unless you messed with one of her children and then she became a raging holy terror." He grinned at the memory as he began to speak. " I will never forge' the day some traveling merchant stopped to sell his wares at Raven's Crest. The man struck my cheek sae hard it sent me tae th' ground. I was but five or six a' the time and picked up a trinket tae look at and he was angered for it. M' Momma lit intae him like a Momma bear protecting her cub, tha' man lit ou' o' there like his arse was on fire and never came back." He chuckled softly at the memory. (d)
Kaelyn: ** " Jelani" Kae said as if testing the way it sounded " A beautiful name." she sat and listened to him speak of his childhood and his mother. She could almost see the scene as he told her the story.. she began to snicker a bit when she thought of how feisty the woman must have been... if she could only see him now she would chuckle. Darius was a tall man well muscled from years of hard work and handling a sword. " I bet he did, I wish I could have met her... sounds like we have a bit in common." tossing her head back she let out a laugh that was soft and joyous. " Oh my heart,.... I am so happy. I cannot wait to tell Dmitrii and our friends, but for now I wish this to be just ours to share and enjoy."*
