Life for Tinania seem to be better, now that she had settled into living in Free Haven with Lucas. She decided to continue her studies to become a priestress. Helping those who were ill as much as she could in her new home. She seem to finally be at peace with herself and the fact that she found a place she felt like she belongs.
Brushing her bangs from her face, she rans her fingers across the leaves. It was healthy as ever, she watered it each night, and if one leaf look bad she would remove it quick. To those in the villege it was odd, but then they didn't understand that a child was growing within it.
Glancing towards the window, she kept watching for Lucas, hoping he would return to her soon. He had left to go on one of those Ranger Mission. But he promise he would return to her in one piece. But she couldn't help but worry, with each day passing she found herself falling in love with him.
Turning away from the cabbage she moves back to the kitchen, just to check on her soup. It was a cold day, so warm tomatoe soup with a bagle covered in creamcheese sounded great to her. Pouring some into a bowl, she add its to the table with her other plate.
As she opens the fridge, she yelps smacking her head against the freezer as a loud scream comes from the living room. Turning she blinks as she realized the sound was much like a baby scream. Stepping into the livingroom her eyes widen.
There on the window sill, the cabbage had open to reveal a small little boy. He was trembling as his small blue wings flap alittle, his tail moving under him. Blinking he stops crying as he spots Tinania. His bright golden yellow eyes taking in his mother. His blue hair moves alittle from the partly open window.
Moving quickly, Tinania reaches for the little dragon boy. Picking him out, she glances around before she finds her bag. She knew he would appear at anytime, so she was prepared. Reaching into her bag, she searches for the fleece blue baby blanket. Wrapping him in it, she smiles down at the little dragon boy "Hello Seiji, I'm your mother Tinania."
Seiji moves his small paw like hands as Tinania slips her finger into the middle of his hand. He blinks a few times before he lets out a squeal. With a light chuckle Tinania turns "Come on, let find out someone to eat. If your anything like the Dragon of my past, your going to be a lover of meat."
Slipping into the kitchen, she pulls open the fridge, her eyes looking over the fridge before pulling out a plate of raw meat. Lifting one up, she holds it towards Seiji.
It seem to catch the baby dragons attention instantly. Reaching out he grabs at it, before ripping at it with his small sharp teeth. Tinania chuckles as she leans back against the counter. As she watches the young one eat, her mind thinks of another, he use to eat just like Seiji. Shaking her head, she closes her eyes breathing in slowly. She couldn't think of that now, not with a new baby to take care of.
As she watches the young one munch on the raw meat, she moves back toward her bag. Pulling her wand out, she aims it towards her bag. Her mind focus on the baby items, and the baby items alone. In a matter of moments, a crib, changing table followed by baby clothes appear in the corner of the room. She was glad that Lucas was find with her having a child. He even helped rearrange the room, so she could place the crib come to their own room.
Placing her wand back into her bag, she glances down at her little boy. His eyes kept opening and closing. With a light chuckles she turns reaching for a cloth. Wiping at his face she makes her way towards the crib "I guess coming out of a cabbage can make anyone tired." setting him down in the crib, she pulls another cover around him.
With a smile, she moves towards the window quickly closing it to not allow the cold winter in. With another peek, she sighs "Please come home soon Lucas, I don't want you to miss anything..." turning she moves back toward the kitchen to eat her now cold soup.

Lucas was tired and sore, his body ached all over, and he was dirty. He was however, rather happy and only about five minutes from home. Home... A place that was no longer empty or cold. It was a place of happiness and warmth now, and Lucas reveled in it, because he finally felt that all was right with the world.
The mission however, had been hard, and long, and he was very tired, and very, very dirty. Dirt clung to him everywhere, stained deep into his clothes, rubbed roughly into his skin, his hair was matted and dirty. He'd not shaved in the time he was gone, so the start of a beard was growing well along his cheeks and chin. He looked as if someone had rolled him down a hill of briar's and into a bog.
His bow was slung in it's case, resting on his back as he walked, keeping a steady pace, trying - ever so hard - to not run all the way back home, throw open the door and declare to his house mate that he was home, and that he'd missed, her, and that he wanted her assistance in getting clean. But there were people about, and he was sure they all knew what was going on between him and the girl that was staying with him, but he didn't care what they said.
Some of it... He'd heard... And more than a few of his fellow rangers had broken teeth to attest to that fact. His fellows had learned quickly to keep their mouths tight-lipped when it came to Tinania, and her honor was very, very much intact. Still, people would stare, and Lucas didn't want them to think that something was wrong, so against his exalting heart he walked.
Finally reaching the door to his house he turned the knob and entered.
He'd almost forgotten that she'd expected the child to come soon, so when he entered the bedroom to start changing he froze, spying the crib.
"Tinania!?" He called, yet, his voice remained soft... To prevent waking the child he saw there.

Tinania glances over her shoulder just as she finish washing her soup bowl out. Arching a brow, she shook her head as she makes her way towards the livingroom. She only comes to a stop when she see Lucas standing there. Eyes glisten as she looks him over. She didn't knwo when she would see him again, so to have him standing there before her, made her heart simply stop.
Seiji remains asleep in his crib as the two adult eye eachother. He was laying on his back, as his small tail moves under the blanket. Nothing seem to distrub him at all.

When Lucas saw her, he said not a word, but instead turned his whole body, his bow case falling to the floor will a dull clatter. He didn't remember crossing the space between them, but suddenly he was there, his arms around her, one hand in her hair pulling her to his lips to kiss her hotly, his fingers holding tight to the silky locks.
He felt his heart stop beating when he pressed his lips roughly to hers, he felt it stop and he didn't care. He didn't NEED it with her around, it was hers already. He'd been gone for so long, he needed to feel her warmth, needed to touch her to make sure she was real and not a dream. The child had been real enough, and while it was not his, he felt... a pride... that it was in HIS home, that it had come to start its life.
He did not want to part from her lips, but he had to, he had to draw breath and he needed to find out what had gone on in his absence. Pulling back he looked into her eyes, a sudden bright smile coming to his lips.
"Hey there beautiful... Didja miss me?"

Tinania wasn't sure she could speak, not after the hot kiss she was given. Parting her lips she smiles as she runs her fingers across the bread he had "I missed you so much. I kept watching in hope you come home soon. But I must say this Lucas you need a shower love." taking a step back, she gives his hands a squeeze. She wanted to be with him, remember what it was like to be with him. But first she wanted him clean.
Seiji squirms alittle before he give sout a soft cry in the crib. Opening his eyes, he blinks a few times as he looks around with his golden eyes. A few small noises much like a waking baby came from him as he kicks under the blanket.

Lucas smiled, and then straighted hearing the noises the infant made. Turning again to Tinania he smiled. "Let me go get cleaned up... and you can introduce me..." He chuckled, brushing her cheek and kissing her.
He moved towards the bath grabbing a towel from the rack on the way by, as well as a change of clothes from a nearby basket.

Watching Lucas slip into the bathroom, Tinania chuckles as she make sher way over to the crub. Lifting Seiji carefully out of it she brushes a finger along the little dragon's cheek "Mmm your finally awake. Well your going to get a chance to meet someone special." she wasn't really sure if she should call him daddy or not, as she wasn't sure if Lucas would accept him as his own child.
Seiji giggles as he bats at Tinania's hair. Lifting a dragon claw, he sticks it into his mouth sucking on it for a moment. He seem content with just being held at the moment.

Lucas showered, shaved, and dressed; feeling at least a little bit human now he sighed and stretched, walking out of the bathroom. Making sure his collar was straight on his shirt he smiled when he saw Tinania and the child. Something warm lit in his heart, and he didn't know it quite then, but he was accepting the idea of becoming a father.
Then the reality of it hit him like a ton of bricks, and the panic mode went off, and suddenly he wanted out. It was fleeting, because his training didn't allow him to rout... Pull back, and look for options yes... But you did not turn your back and run, that was death.
Taking a deep breath he steeled himself, and remembering that he loved the woman holding the child, and even though he wasn't sure he was ready to accept this... He walked over to them, and holding out his arms he smiled.
"May I..."

((Does he have enough to buy a trade pass from the bank?))
Looking towards Lucas, Tinania heart skipped a couple of beats as she looks him over. He always did clean up good, but after not seeing if for so long it was almost like the first time they were together. Blinking she blushes as she realizes she been staring at him. Pushing her hand through her hair she glances down at her Seiji.
Seiji was watching the older man, his eyes wide as he took him in. His voice he reminder, but alot louder then what he was right now. Reaching out towards him he makes a few baby noises.
With a light chuckle Tinania carefully places Seiji into Lucas's arms before a small step back. Just seeing Lucas hold Seiji made Tinania's heart dance. She didn't understand why, but the sight just made her feel liek this was right.

(( Just did ))
Lucas held the child carefully, so scared he was going to drop him and so he was being super cautious... He had no idea what he was doing... He was shaking so badly that he couldn't move, if he did he knew he'd drop the baby, he just KNEW he would... and he couldn't do that...
So he stood there, looking down at this... this... life in his arms... He didn't have anything to do with it... it wasn't his... but... at the same time he knew, he just KNEW, that he could not turn this child away from his heart.
This Child was Tinania's... if not of her blood, it was to be in her care and he respected that.
He knew too that eventually - maybe not soon, but it would - call him father. It was he knew inevitable. The only thing that tugged at his heart, and he didn't know if it made him shallow was the regret it wasn't his blood.
Looking at the child's face he smiled, and leaning his head down slowly, he kissed it's soft forehead, shakily moving a hand up to brush along it's cheek as felt right, and he chuckled. "Hi..." He said, not in a soft baby talk, but like he was talking to an equal. "I hope you're finding everything alright..."
Suddenly he turned red, realizing how stupid he was sounding. Finally he looked up at Tinania and smiled. "So, does our son have a name?"
He didn't even realize what he'd said until the words bounced back to his ears, and his already red face grew three shades brighter.

Tinania blinks as she looks at Lucas, she didn't know if she was dreaming or did she actually just hear him say "our son". Blushing she looks down at Seiji before she looks back up at lucas "His name is Seiji." her eyes slip back down her Seiji, her mind keeps going back to the dragon she use to hold when he was this age. Shaking her head, she closes her eyes for a moment.
Seiji blinks as he looks at the man holding him. Tiling his head, he makes almost a sound like a cooing. His small wings flap alittle as he reaches out toward the man with his small dragon claws.

Lucas smiled at the child and bounced him a little. Finally he looked up at Tinania... "So I have news..." He said finally.
"I've been ordered to see you home... We've not been able to get a single messenger down the road you came from... and well... My superiors want to make sure your family knows you're okay... It's really not in our habit to kidnap people..."

Tinania blinks before she takes a step back, a frown comes upon her face. Only she hid it as face as she could as she pretends to cough "I see, it will be good to see my mother and step father.." turning she pulls her hair up inot a messy bun as she moves towards the kitchen. Washing her hands she remains quiet as she grabs some oranges from the fridge.
Seiji laughs as he is bounced a few times, clapping his hands he moves his small claws as he continues to reach out towards Lucas. Why the man was holding him like this he didn't know. His mother held him close.

Lucas frowned before bringing the child closer to his chest as he walked, letting him rest against his shoulder, since that felt the most comfortable to him. Watching Tinania for a moment he said.
"I'd much rather... You stay here... But if I don't take you they will send someone else to... and well... I kinda want to meet your family... yanno?"

Tinania didn't say anything, she just stood there holding the orange. She was so lost in what he said seconds before, she hadn't heard him say he wanted to meet her family. She couldn't believe it, she be leaving this place and probably never coming back. A frown forms again as she looks down at the sink. She didn't show any signs that she was upset, she couldn't. After all this wasn't her home....
Seiji coos as he lays his head on Lucas's shoulder. His tail sways as he place his thumb into his mouth. His eyes drifting close for a moment, only to open a second later.
