They had been together for three years now. They split their time between Matori and Jouhar. He now had his own fishing boat in Theriar's fleet and was protected by his old captain instead of being part of her crew. He always went home to his beautiful alkidike woman, together they really were better.
She reminded him to have fun he gave her consistency and structure. He felt maybe there just might be one thing still missing from this steamy jungle love story, something special, something small with little toes.
He wanted a family quite badly. He wanted to be the dad that he had never been able to enjoy. He wanted to raise his children to be strong like their mother and clever like their father and to also carry the kindness and love shared between him and his wonderful mate. He wanted enough children that fate might not be able to take all of his own sadness from from loved ones from him again. He needed Zuella she was his queen. She above and alone held his whole heart. He hadn't known that one could love like this. He felt it physically as well. "My love," he asked one day, quite seriously, he couldn't put it off any longer, "Have you thought about.... thought about children? One day maybe?" he took a deep breath. "It's just I've always wanted a family and I really think that you are the one for me." His heart was in his eyes. He really did love her so much.

She blinked looking up at her mate over her freshly brewed and steaming tea. "Children? Hmm, yeah. I think they would be great honestly, I was just afraid to bring it up to early in case it scared you off" She waggled her eyebrows at him. She liked kids and had considered going to the tree by herself to get one but deep down she had wanted a partner. She smiled so brightly that it lit up the room. "Won't they be so cute Kell?" It was her favorite pet name for him. She thought that they would make great parents, she could tell that he was eager to be a dad. She wanted to be a mom too. She would be so happy if Aisha were to see fit to grant them a child of their own. She wanted this. When we think we are ready we can go to Mother Aisha and pray. " They kissed soundly, "Just give me a bit of time to prepare for this. I have to organize my thoughts and my prayers. I want to do this right."

He smirked "Very cute if they take after you." He winked and made a funny face. He was so relieved that she was so enthusiastic about the idea. They had residences in Joahar and Matori. They were well set up professionally and he felt he was ready to take on the job of dad. He wanted her and she wanted him and nothing else in the world besides a child. It warmed his hear that she wanted that with him too. That she had chosen him out of all the people on tendaji she could have with her jouyous bubbly spirit and beautiful self. She was tall and graceful and deadly and all his. His beautiful Aishan. He had never been happier than with her. He had someone who was all his, firmly in his corner and he loved her more than breathing. The sea had called to him, and so had she, perhaps the sea gods had sent her to him as a reward for at least trying to navigate land.
Pursuing her had been one of the more audacious things he had done but well worth it, she was his everything now. He would die for her. Together he hoped they could build a strong family that believed in both of their gods. He was proud to be hers.

At least her tree didn't come with a lot of hybrid judgment. She felt a bit sorry for the Elaria who fell in love with non aishans. She worked on her prayer to Aisha, putting it all into the words, her love, deep anexpression of her heart that Kellye was the guy for her. She would tell mother Aisha of the rose garden he had planted for her and his efforts to provide for their family with his fishing business. .
He was her partner her love her man her iceling .. Eventually she had it polished to the nines and after a while (three weeks) she felt ready and approached Kellye with a plan. They would approach aishat together and pray for a baby. She couldn't remember being this excited about anything before. He had always been like a dream come true, now would come their next dream. Oh, she hoped. She wanted children so very bad, maybe they would get two! Though one would be more than.. well one would be perfect.

The very next day they set off to the Mother tree. Because he was an earthling, they lived a bit further from Aisha than she had done initially, but they both enjoyed where they lived, Zuella was within an easy travel distance should she be needed at the Mother tree unless they were in Matori. For the immediate future they would be staying in Jauhar and hopefully getting a family.
The journey was beautiful and he felt very privileged to get to see the original Ashan capital that was his love's most sacred mother. He had loved every scrap of information he had been able to get out of his mate. Aisha was a physical goddess and quite easy for him to believe in and respect along with the more ethereal but always felt Bergchi. He kept his position beside his mate and only got a little nervous when Zuella had to ask one of the Aisha's many attendees to appoach the tree to pray. The woman had looked at her and then looked at him. She swallowed and shouted in her native tongue to another disciple of Aisha who came over. They discussed it between themselves. "What are they saying?" He whispered quietly.

"Do not worry," She squeezed his hand before approaching the two women, him slightly behind her as he didn't want to get himself in trouble somehow. This was her court. She gave them the best of her best and detailed how wonderful a mate Kellye was and how she thought that their children would be an excellent addition to Asha's people because he had good values and always treated her well, and she thought that he deserved to have her blood mixed with his. Aisha took a great deal of organizing and these ladies excelled that the art Zuella had always liked them. Together they turned and nodded their heads at the pair of them.
Then would come the questions, this tree might not be as closed circle as the other trees, it might be harder to go to Elzira perhaps than Aisha for example, but there still had to be questions and assurances made before an outsider was allowed near Aisha. It was just good practice.

The ladies looked at them both and asked why they thought they should see the mother tree to ask for children. It was a question that they had been expecting. He cleared his throat and gave his answer first, "We believe that we would make good parents, our love is as deep as deepest lakes and to Zuella I have given my heart. She is the most wonderful woman and I would forfeit my life to protect her if needed."
We would like to celebrate the love that both of us share with a child should the great Aisha see fit to grant one to us." He bowed his head to the Aishan woman who dealt with such situations as theirs. "I have wanted children for a very long time and there is no woman on Tendaji that I would rather have as the mother of my children than Zuella." He held his head high and proud then, but still with a slight difference. Let them see his prideful passionate eyes. He hoped they saw the truth there.

Alas, it was now her turn to answer she was proud that he had gone first the sisters could be a mite intimidating when they wanted to be because Aina and Murdah were fair ladies. They were in good hands. She still wanted to do her very best though, she cleared her throat and answered them. "I love this man who I found lost in the jungle, ill and on the brink of losing his life. He stayed nearby and we got to know each other as friends and eventually as lovers he has shown me nothing but love and kindness. He made us a rose garden to celebrate a year of our relationship and each year we pick a new rose to add to our love garden. I thank Aisha everyday that she led me to where he was that day." She held Kellye's hands and looked deep into his yellow eyes. "He is my mate. And the one I love the most, my best friend my love, there is no one else I would rather have children with." She squeezed his hands reassuringly, she had no idea if they were doing this right, no one had really explained much they just tittered and giggled and were useless.

The warrior woman heard them out and then whispered to themselves, exchanging views and opinions to Kellye they posed another question "What do you think your children would bring to benefit tendaji?"
A powerful question to be sure, he pondered it for a while and answered, "They will bring my cunning and intellegence and their Mother's bright personality and drive to help others. They will not back down to defend their family members or friends. They will do what is right. They will set a good example and be free thinkers, able to solve problems and surmount obstacles. I believe they will help society by seeing through scams that would trip others. I believe they will help protect those weaker than them because it is the right thing to do. I believe each will have their own special talents that will help them on their path, they will grow up knowing their heritage and culture on both sides of their family." He bowed, it just felt right to do so at that moment. His heart was racing so fast, his whole attention on the ladies who were their judges and then Aisha herself the final judge of his worthiness. He swallowed but held his chin up.

The two women asked her, "What faults might your children have?"
Well, that question was no fair at all. Sure, give Kellye the fun one full of promise and hope and her the most difficult question of all to face, the faults of herself and her mate for that was what they were truly asking, how could they know the personality of their children before they were born?
She thought about her own faults and those she had stuggled with growing up and what she had observed of Kellye. She stared them right in the eyes and said, "Our children may be struck by jealousy, hubris or peer pressure. They may be stubborn, and they may be tenacious. Sometimes they may act irrationally or not see the big picture. However I also believe they will learn from their mistakes and that they would be good at heart. Each child requires a different guidance at the right time to steer them down the right path. Some vices are common to the young, to the unwise, but that is what parents are for after all. To guide that ship home safe to harbor." She bowed her head to the woman. Their answer had been given, it was up in the air now.

The two women turned to him, and one of them asked him plainly, "You love this woman?" He told them yes. It seemed as though he wasn't the only one as to not like waiting. He had never seen her this edgy before, though if he may say so, he was a bit too. This was a very important very magical prayer. He was about to see something very, very important to his future and he grips her hand back tightly. She was not alone. He would support her with everything that he was. He felt blessed that she would want his children as he wanted hers. This was a beautiful place that few of his kind of ever got to see. One needed special invites to get here. "We have conferred and you may approach Asha from the east in 20 minutes. The direction symbolizes the new birth of the sun early morning and would bode well for baby prayers."
Their times came and they approached the great tree from auspicious East. He swallowed She was very beautiful. He had been instructed not to get too close to the tree. He would not break the rules. He respected this and he loved her. The tree was huge and beautiful.

She grasped his hand excitedly. She had worked hard on her prayer. She was happy that he was with her. His strong hand seemed to steady her and her nerves. She clutched his hand like a strong lifeline. Aisha was her mother. She would feel better when she was before she knew. As she approached her beautiful mother tree Aisha, she thought that she never tired of the sight of her and all of her matriarchal magnificence, strong branches and thick trunk rising ever higher into the sky. She knelt in the designated place with Kallye by her side. She began to pray and she told Aisha about the man she had found in the forest and saved, the same men she had later fallen in love with as they spent time together as friends. She told her mother about all the wonderful dates they had gone on and how his continued love and support had weighed her into a better woman. She told him of the rose garden of love, and about each plant they had added over the years already. She told Aisha about how she now had a shoulder to cry on, so she could be stronger. She told Aisha about how great great of a Dad he would be, how strong minded and balanced he was. How protective of her. It was downright cute and it made her feel like a large princess. Then she detailed that their children would get the goodness of both of their parents a new life with her sunlight disposition, calm capability and his cunning wit and powerful moral compass. She took a few breaks, and took deep breaths before continuing. Then she came to the end of the prayer and the silence opened its maw before them. They sat in silent supplication and both bowed down before the tree.

It didn't take very long before his eyes started to water than before he knew it, tears stream down his face. To go from a northern orphan with nothing, to have a brave warrioresss lay down the feelings in her innermost heart before him and her mother goddess.. he felt moved alright. He hope that Aisha could feel his love for her somehow because Zuella was his partner, his constant, his fire, his warrior. He never had to fight a battle again unless he wanted to. He could be a simple fisherman. Bring in coin for them. She was a fighter and a very good one. He liked to join her in the morning stretches and exercises. It helped him keep in shape for fishing. He loved when she went out with him on the ship and they spent the day fishing and brought snacks. He smiled thinking about their fun times. He had found himself a real winner and loved it. Their children would be beautiful and strong and adventurous. He remembered to breath. This was the spark that would hopefully bring forth a new generation, a new dynasty. He felt joy in his heart blossom.

She mashed her eyes together and bent over praying more, "Please grant us the child of our blood to benefit the world with Grace, honor and cunning to survive, love to bind and keep safe, courage to face the problems that would come. Please grant us a little one so that our family may continue to grow by the grace of your boughs. A child of Aisha, a child of Zuella, a child of Kellye born in Zena north," the words felt right to her she hoped that Aisha had liked her love story, and it found her final prayers acceptable. She took a deep breath, and together with Kellye, they bowed again. She folded her hands, placing his hand on her thigh and sat quietly for just a moment. They were running out of time but she could feel the hope in the air, could smell the green scents, could hear distant birdsong. Life, Aisha was life, it was glorious to be this close to her and with her love as well. She rose. "Come my love." She whispered. "Time to leave Mother Aisha to her sleep."

He took a deep breath afterwards, weightless words faded. He bowed his head deeply hoping that Aisha would find them acceptable. He felt in his heart that she would find it in her wise soul to grant them the joy of a child. But as with all good things, it would take time to tell before they had found out if the prayer had been successful. He waited for his love to move and soaked in this magical surreal moment moment that might be the spark that brought them a new child, it kind of felt like a dream. Soon enough, it was time to leave the tree he drank in the sight of her one last time. Then he fixed his eyes on his Zuella's face, he tugged her hand and smiled at her. They had completed the ritual, it was time to leave well enough alone and just see what happened later. Maybe they would get lucky, maybe they wouldn't, they could always try again if it didn't work. He hoped it would. He grinned, thinking that nothing had made him this excited for a long time except finding Zuella himself and spending time with her.
