Ala finds a package

Ala wandered out of the back of the shop carrying in her hands a sheef of papers which she was reading through. She reached her door and something caught her eye "Well now who left this here" she mused to herself as she picked it up, opening her house and walking in she read the note and couldn't help but smile. She put the box on the counter and pullied open, her eyes twinkled the second she saw it "Oooooohhhhh shiny...." she shook her head "no, No Ala this is for your baby" she said shaking the thought of the shiny item from her mind as she closed the box again and took it to the nursery and put it on the shelf

Ala and Torvil Visit Selene & Ala is Haunted

Torvil was moving around the house, working on cleaning it.

Ala had gone out for a while, she wanted to run a couple errands before she got big to the point of staying home 90% of the time

Torvil finally finished and lounged on the couch, eyes closed, listening to the sounds of silence.

Ala returned a while later. She'd done her errands, thankfully they were errands that didn't require her carrying much if anything. She landed lightly on the house's roof and sat down

Torvil heard her land and got up, heading outside and sitting beside her.

"You really do have good hearing" she said with a chuckled when he sat with her

Torvil chuckled. "Have ta... Can't always see your quarry..."

Ala chuckled "I'm a quarry now?" she placed her hand on his knee giving it a squeeze

Torvil chuckled. "No..." He nuzzled the side of her head.

"Good" she said turning and kissing his cheek softly

Torvil purred, and kissed her cheek in return. "Why didn't you come in?"

"Just was enjoying the outdoors for a while. Nice and sunny out here" she told him with a small shrug

Torvil nodded and nuzzled her again.

Ala smiled softly leaning against him

Torvil hugged her close with an arm, purring happily as he kissed her forehead.

"So what have you been doing today?" she asked him with a glance at him

"Cleaning..." He purred, cuddling.

Ala chuckled "Yeah I suppose the house needed it"

Torvil nodded. "I even put a book shelf up in Bump's room..."

Ala chuckled "Need some wall shelves too for knickknacks.. and I think I need to look at a catalogue for a toy box"

Torvil nodded and nuzzled her. "I'll pick some up later..."

Ala nodded "I didn't go as far as Aekea" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "Would be quite the trip..."

"Too far of a trip for me right now" Ala said with a nod "At least without a lot of breaks"

Torvil nodded. "I'll go in a bit..." It was a long trip for him even...

"No rush love, I don't think bump is coming for a while" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "Which is good, because I'm enjoying bump as bump..."

Ala laughed "I'm enjoying bump as bump too." she cuddled closer to him

Torvil purred and slid her into his lap.

Ala smiled "You like doing that don't you" she giggled

Torvil nodded. "Closest we can get right now..." He purred.

Ala nodded "Sounds about right all things considering" Ala patted her belly as she spoke

Torvil nodded and nuzzled her neck, he hands going to her belly.

"So what's on the plate to do tonight?" she asked looking towards him

"Cuddle... Eat... Cuddle..."

Ala laughed "Sounds like you have everything all planned out" she mused, her wings pushed from his grip so she could fold them into her body

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "Then take a walk and cuddle... Eat... and cuddle..."

Ala laughed and turned her head to kiss him

Torvil purred and kissed her happily.

Ala smiled breaking the kiss then giving him two small pecks

Torvil purred and started to rub her tummy.

Ala chuckled "You know... you are starting to remind me it's time to eat by doing that"

Torvil chuckled. "Then lets go eat..."

Ala nodded "Sounds like a good idea to me... long as it's not greasy" she cringed at the thought

Torvil nodded. "I was thinking soup and crackers..."

Ala laughed "I think I'm getting you addicted to that"

Torvil chuckled. "Well..." He picked her up and jumped back to the ground. "It works..."

Ala nodded "That it does, and you can cook it this time" she said with a nod and a giggle

Torvil chuckled. "Alright..."

Ala chuckled "Are we going in?" she asked still in his arms

Torvil nodded, and walked inside, heading for the kitchen.

Ala smiled "So what kind you going to make?"

Torvil thought for a moment putting her in a chair. "I was thinking Chicken and rice..."

Ala leaned on the table and reached for the ever-present sleeve of crackers "That sounds good"

Torvil nodded and headed for the pantry.

Ala munched on her crackers watching him

Torvil brought the soup out and put it in a pan, starting to cook it.

"Least soup is easy to make" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded, getting some bowls and spoons.

Ala munched quietly on her crackers

Torvil finished cooking the soup, served it up and walked over. He placed her bowl in front of her.

"Thanks love" she said grabbing a handful of crackers and crushing them into her bowl before starting to eat

Torvil smiled and started to eat.

Ala relaxed and ate, soup was one thing she was finding not to be too taxing on her system overall

Torvil ate and crushed some crackers into his after a few bites.

Ala looked up when she heard the crackers and grinned "someone likes crackers now" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "They're alright... I like the texture..."

Ala shook her head and worked on finishing up her meal

Torvil ate and took a few more crackers, eating them as he finished up the soup.

Ala leaned on the table munching on dry crackers again once she was done.

Torvil smiled and move his chair over to hers.

Ala smiled "You know there are more comfortable places to cuddle then the kitchen table"

Torvil purred and stood, scooping her up and heading for their room.

Ala laughed and wrapped her arms around him still holding the cracker in her hand

Torvil purred and put her down on their bed, he moved over to her.

Ala chuckled and finished off her cracker. "Well this is a more comfy spot then the table"

Torvil nodded and purred, pulling her close to him when he reached her.

Ala purred softly cuddling up against him

Torvil purred and snuggled her happily. "Love ya..."

"I love you too" she said. Ala cuddled happily with him, being close is one thing she thoroughly enjoyed

Torvil purred and cuddled closer to her, his hands coming to rest on Bump.

Ala sighed softly putting her hand on his. "One day bump will kick you" she said with a smile

Torvil purred happily. "Can't wait..."

Ala closed her eyes relaxing. She was at that moment in a very peaceful mood unlike the night before

Torvil purred and nuzzled her head softly.

Ala purred softly cuddling closer as he nuzzled

Torvil purred and snuggled her as close as he could, his hands still resting on bump as he nuzzled her hair.

"We should talk while we snuggle" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "We probably should..." He purred. "Unless our mouths deem it better to be otherwise occupied...

Ala laughed "Yes unless they find other things to do"

Torvil purred and kissed the back of her head. "But yes, talking... what to talk about?"

"I'm sure we can figure something out" she said looking towards him "whether it be the kids, things around the house or shop or other things going on in our lives"

Torvil chuckled. "Hmmm... Yes... I should probably visit Torvin, soon..." He chuckled and nuzzled her. "And Selene and her kids."

"We probably should, before the flight is too long" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "We could go now..."

"Now?" Ala looked at him "Yes I suppose we could" she said with a nod

Torvil smiled and picked her up.

Ala laughed "Let me fly at least part of the trip it's really not all that far of a trip"

Torvil nodded and put her down.

Ala pecked his cheek with a small kiss as she headed for the door

Torvil smiled and walked with her, heading out of the house before taking flight.

Ala headed out of the house right after him letting her wings unfold and spread wide before taking to the air after him

Torvil flew towards the village. He wondered what his son was doing just then, as well as his daughter and her children. He hoped that he could talk to Torvin for a time, as well as maybe help him with any problems he might be facing.

Ala moved through the air along side of him, her hands resting on her belly as she flew

Torvil smiled at her, keeping a decent pace, best not to over tax her.

Ala looked over at him giving him a smile "Not sure what Vin will be doing, good chance he's spending time with that girl" she said

Torvil nodded. "I'm sure... We'll check his house all the same..." He chuckled, and flew.

Ala laughed "I guess I'll have to show you where that is" she said with a nod

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah, yea you will..."

Ala landed shortly outside the village taking a large breath to catch her breath

Torvil purred and scooped her up. "Take a breather."

Ala laughed "You know they'll look at you odd if you carry me in there, they'll think I'm about to give birth"

Torvil chuckled. "So? Make them be on their toes..."

Ala laughed "You are a brat my love" she said letting her wings fold

Torvil smiled. "Am I now?" He approached the gate holding her tight to him.

Ala nodded, she looked towards the gate and saw the gathering guardnin, she also noticed Alix was not there and figured he must have been done his shift or off

Torvil smiled and stopped. "Ala and Torvil Rakamash, here to visit our son and daughter..." He looked around at them.

Thanks to his calmness this time they checked the list and let the two of them in without any problem this time

Torvil smiled and walked on through the gate. "Show me Torvin's house we'll stop by there first..."

Ala laughed "put me down and I will" she said with a grin

Torvil chuckled and put her down. "Don't you like being carried love?"

"I'm not an invalid" she said "Besides you can carry me home" she said with a laugh and headed towards the town center

Torvil chuckled. "But I like carrying you..." he wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked.

Ala chuckled "I know you do" she said leaning against him her own arm wrapped around him

Torvil purred, and walked with her, waiting for him to tell her which house it was. He saw a park up ahead.

Ala smiled as they reached the town center "Over there is the hospital and near it is that park and that little house is your son's little abode" she said pointing to each in turn

Torvil nodded and headed for it.

Ala followed him towards the house

Torvil reached the house and found it dark. He knocked on the door anyway and tried the knob. It was locked. He frowned. "Hmmm... Oh well, guess he isn't home..."

Ala chuckled "He must be out then"

Torvil nodded. "Lets go see if Selene is home..."

"That one will be a little tougher... I don't know where it is" she said with a laugh

Torvil stroked his chin. "Well I'm picking up a faint Selene trail... Lets follow it..."

Ala nodded and turned with him

Torvil scented, and followed the few days old scent to a house near the hospital. He looked to Ala.

Ala shrugged "Scent is muddled for me but it's a good chance it is" she pointed towards the back which you could just barely see swings and other kids toys

Torvil nodded and walked up to the door, knocking.

Footsteps could be heard racing for the door and a familiar voice "Wait up you three" slightly muffled behind it

Torvil chuckled and leaned against the door frame.

the door flew open and three curious faces looked up to him

Selene chuckled "Well hello mom, dad" she greeted them

Torvil smiled. "Hello, Selene... And who would these three little ones be? Relatives of Alix?" He chuckled and squatted down so he was level with them.

Selene shook her head with a laugh

the three blinked then grinned and pounced him "Grandpa!" they said recognizing his scent from Selene's stuffed dragon

Selene chuckled "This is Aidan, Naoma and Korvil" she told her father

Torvil chuckled and nodded, grabbing them all and making sure they were on him as he stood. "May we come in?" He chuckled.

Selene nodded

Ala chuckled and stepped over Torvil

Selene smiled "We're the only ones home right now"

Torvil smiled, walking in the the three kids supported on him in whatever way he could. "That's alright..." He chuckled. "We came to visit you and the kids more than Alix... Though it would be nice to see him..."

Selene chuckled "This isn't mine and Alix's house, it belongs to the Grobels. Suse and Elder Grobel. Our house is still being built up by Aunt Kal's"

The 3 kids clung to their grandfather

Ala chuckled and found a seat in the living room

Torvil chuckled. "Ah... Well then..." he smiled and pulled one off him, and sat down, ruffling the blonde hair.

Selene smiled "How are you father?" she had seen her mother a couple days previous

Aidan, Naoma and Korvil crowded around him on the couch

Torvil chuckled. "I'm good..." He smiled. "A little bored from time to time, but I'm fine..." He smiled at them and ruffled their hair.

Selene chuckled "You'll be busy enough soon" she said nodding towards her mother

Torvil chuckled. "when the time comes, it's still a long way off..."

Selene chuckled

Naoma climbed onto her grandfather's lap facing him she was watching him talk "You have pointy teeth like mommy"

Torvil chuckled. "Would make sense little one... I'm her father..." He touched her hair lightly and smiled.

"She's my mommy and I don't" Naoma made a big grin showing her teeth off which were like Alix's

Torvil chuckled and ruffled her hair. "You got your daddies teeth, and she got her daddies teeth..."

Naoma nodded and climbed off his lap bolting towards the staircase

Torvil blinked. "Where is she... Is that okay?"

Selene laughed "Our room is upstairs, she probably went up there"

Ala chuckled running a hand over her belly "They have a lot of energy love"

Torvil chuckled. "I hope ours has half as much... and only half..."

Ala laughed a lot at that "And it's you who says the house is too quiet"

Naoma ran up the stairs a few minutes later hauling Selene's dragon with her "You smell like this" she said coming back to him

Torvil chuckled and took it. "Would make sense... It's made from some of my old clothes... Your aunt made it..."

Ala looked at Selene who blushed slightly that her daughter had revealed she had brought the toy with her

Naoma giggled and climbed back onto his lap "I like it"

Torvil smiled at Naoma, as well as Selene. "That's good..." He kissed the little girls forehead.

Naoma sat and leaned back against him taking the dragon back. Korvil and Aidan were eying his tall horns

Torvil chuckled and smiled at the two of them. "Well boys?" He smirked, starting to brush their sister's hair.

"Our horns be like that?" Korvil asked pointing

Torvil chuckled. "Mayhaps..." He smirked. "You're Korvil aren't you?"

Korvil nodded "Uh huh"

Torvil smiled. "You look just like your great-grandfather..." He reached out and stroked the boys face with his hand softly, tears coming to his eyes.

Ala smiled softly watching him with his grandkids

"I do?" Korvil looked curious and tipped his head to one side

Torvil smiled and wiped an eye. "Well minus the gem and darken your hair..." he chuckled weakly, and pulled the boy close.

Korvil leaned against his grandfather's side

Aidan pouted and leaned on Torvil's other side feeling left out

Torvil pulled Aidan into a hug and kissed the top of his head. "You do too you know..." He whispered and nuzzled the boys hair.

Ala smirked "Would make sense since those two are identical"

Aidan smiled

Torvil chuckled and snuggled with all three of the small ones. "I wish I could do this with bump..."

Ala chuckled "Soon love soon. will be a while yet"

Naoma looked up "Bump?"

Selene chuckled and curled up a bit on the armchair she sat watching

Torvil chuckled, and pointed at Ala's belly. "Bump..." He smirked.

"Oh! Baby!" Naoma grinned and tipped her head back the way it was

Torvil chuckled and kissed all three of the small ones. "You're going to have a new uncle...Or aunt..."

Naoma nodded and smiled "Yup!"

Ala smiled at him

Torvil smiled and cuddled them all close to him with a smile. "Grandfather love each and every one of you..." He chuckled and let out a sigh. "Love would you be a dear and fetch my walker... I'm feeling old..."

Ala laughed "And who is telling ME I'm not old?"

Torvil chuckled. "You're a youngin... I robbed me the cradle..." He laughed, knowing that really she was older than him, even if he did look older... Stress did that to you...

Ala shook her head "I don't think so love" she laughed happily

Torvil chuckled. "Really?" He smirked. "I coulda swore..." He grinned and nuzzled the small ones. "Selene..."

Selene looked at him "Yeah dad?"

"Have you seen Torvin lately? His house was locked up when we stopped by..."

Selene chuckled "I think he had plans to spend the weekend with Kimi"

Torvil nodded. "I need to meet this Kimi girl..." He tapped his chin.

Selene chuckled "Good luck dad, I haven't even met her yet, and I'm his twin"

Torvil chuckled. "I'm sure he'll let us meet her when he's ready..."

"I wish I had had the same option... But you now have him rather nervous of you" she said quietly

Torvil chuckled. "He shouldn't be... Not anymore..."

"First impressions last father, and you scared the s**t out of him. Not to mention what Torvin did" she sighed

Torvil sighed. "Well I'll just have to fix that..." He rummaged through his jacket, pushing Naoma's head slightly.

Naoma sat up still playing with the stuffed dragon

"And how do you intend to do that dad" She asked

Torvil pulled out a small flask and looked at it for a moment. "Well.." He shook the flask up. "I intend to talk to him man to man, and explain my actions, and apologize..." He sighed. "I hate leaving first impressions like that..." He popped the lid of the flask, and vibrant colored butterflies flew out of it, and started to flutter about the room.

"Good luck getting him alone" she said smiling a bit when she saw the butterflies

"Pretty!" Naoma cried out reaching for them

Torvil smiled. "If I have to, I'll talk to him out in public..." Torvil had no shame sometimes... He smirked and caught a yellow one, and handed it to Naoma.

Selene nodded

Naoma smiled and giggled looking at the yellow butterfly now on her hand

Torvil smiled. "You want to keep it?"

Naoma nodded simply staring at it

Torvil smiled. "Then it's yours..." He kissed her forehead.

Naoma giggled showing her mother the yellow butterfly without leaving his lap

Ala looked a lil green around the gills "Selene where's your bathroom"

Selene pointed in the direction of the bathroom "2nd door that way"

Ala left the room post haste

Torvil winced, and turned green as well. He knew what was coming...

Selene looked at her dad "You ok dad?"

Torvil nodded and shook his head. "It's nothing... Just empathy for your mother..." He cleared his throat. "Do you boys one one too?" He asked as a green and red butterfly perched on each of his horns.

Korvil and Aidan nodded .. they had been staring at the butterflies

Selene nodded "I see"

Ala made it to the bathroom and closed the door behind her before loosing her lunch into the toilet

Torvil plucked the two from his horns. "Pick... I get get the others if you want... and show you how to control them if you want..." He looked up at his daughter. "Yeah... I lost mine shortly after hers..." He made a face.

Aidan and Korvil happily accepted the butterflies from their grandfather

"I can't say I have shared that experience" Selene said

Ala slowly made her way back to the living room a short time later

Torvil chuckled. "I have..." He whistled twice and all the butterflies not in the children's hands returned to the flask. He closed it and smiled. "Just whistle and your butterfly will do what you think you want it too..."

Naoma blinked and tried to imitated what her grandfather had done and succeeded in only producing a shower of spit

Selene laughed "They haven't learned to whistle yet dad"

Ala smiled weakly and sat down

Torvil chuckled. "Alright... then they can clap their hands... It's really the thought that maters..."

Ala smiled at him and rested her hands on her belly. "You look good covered in kids" she said playfully

Torvil chuckled. "Thanks, you're glowing again by the way..." He smiled, and blew her a kiss.

Ala chuckled "Thanks love" she pretended to catch the kiss and brought it to herself

Torvil purred and gave her a look that said, 'Me and you... later' He winked and went back to spending time with his grandchildren.

Ala chuckled and relaxed feeling a bit better now

Selene sighed "So what have you and mother been doing of late?"

Torvil chuckled. "Mainly puttering and cuddling..." He smiled at Ala. Hugging the small ones close.

Selene chuckled, "Sounds like fun"

All three kids clung to him once again happily

Torvil smiled and started to hum, rocking the children in his lap, and brushing their hair.

"And just think you get to do that for even longer a time this time" Ala said smiling as she watched him

The triplets cuddled close

Torvil nodded, and started to sing softly, his voice deep and strong.

Selene smirked as the three who were cuddled against her father closed their eyes, she knew they'd had a workout that day, she had been planning a nap when her parents had knocked on the door

Torvil sang for awhile, his voice never leaving the bass-baritone range. He could sing a tad above it, but sometimes he squeaked.

Selene shook her head suppressing a chuckle

Ala smiled "Well least we have a way to lull a child" she mused watching the sleeping children

Torvil smiled and slowly stopped singing, brushing their hair. "How do you feel about it Selene..." He asked suddenly.

Selene blinked "Feel about what dad?"

"Having a new sib..."

Selene smiled "It's wonderful, I'm happy for you guys" she told her father with a nod

Torvil smiled. "Good... I was hoping for that..." He smiled. "You have very beautiful children..."

Selene blushed slightly "Thanks dad, they weren't planned, but I love them very much"

Torvil chuckled. "Don't let them know that..." He kissed their foreheads. "But yes... They are wonderful..."

Selene nodded "I think they already know, but it doesn't seem to bother them."

Torvil nodded and brushed their hair as they slept. "I'll bring them some presents on my next visit..."

Selene nodded "I think it's nap time for these three" she said standing up and walking over to him

Torvil shook his head. "Nah its fine... Leave them where they lie... I like it..."

"Ok" she said with a shrug dropping back down onto the chair.

Ala smiled softly "I can only imagine what it'll be like with this little one." she said patting her belly

Torvil purred. "Hopefully as good as this, if not better..." He nodded at the sleeping children.

Ala nodded "Hopefully, though only time till tell" she said running her hand across her belly

Torvil nodded.

Ala relaxed stretching her limbs a little on the loveseat where she sat

Torvil purred contently, stroking the hair of the sleeping children.

Naoma shifted positions on his lap, Aidan smiled in his sleep and Korvil started to lightly snore

Torvil chuckled and and continued to purr, closing his eyes as well.

Ala chuckled "At this rate I think he's gonna fall asleep too" she said quietly to Selene who simply laughed

Torvil opened an eye, and stuck his tongue out at Ala, before closing it again and sighing happily.

Ala giggled happily "Well I think you just might"

Torvil chuckled. "You're probably right..." He said with a light yawn.

Aidan shifted in his sleep his elbow successfully wedging into his grandfather's side even if not on purpose

Selene chuckled "They move a lot when they sleep"

Torvil chuckled and shifted a bit, not really caring... Sure it was uncomfy, but it was nothing compared to squeezing yourself into a hole two sizes too small to sleep. He soon started to drift.

Ala chuckled and she stood, her and Selene moved up the stairs so Selene could show Ala her and the kid's room while the others dozed

Torvil opened one eye as they left, a smirk on his face. He was a bit tired though, and eventually did fall asleep.

Ala and Selene stayed upstairs for a while before they headed back down they were talking about Selene's new home that was being built

Torvil listened in on the conversation, half awake

"It's going to be really nice mom, it's right next to Aunt Kal's property" Selene said with a nod

"Well at least I know where you'll be then" Ala said in reply

"Not to mention you'll be able to have Kal baby-sit..." Torvil added with his eyes closed.

Selene laughed "I think Aunt Kal is pretty busy with Elder and Kerrsalian duties"

Ala laughed and shook her head

Torvil shrugged. "You never know..." He yawned.

Selene shook her head "she's been pretty busy lately, seems like some pretty important things going on lately"

Ala looked at him "Perhaps we should head homeward before you fall asleep completely love"

Torvil shrugged. "Already have once..." He yawned and lifted up his head. "But if you think we should..."

"Yeah I should, at top speed home is only half hour away, but I think even I could use a nap" Ala admitted "And I sleep heavier then you do"

Torvil nodded, and slowly moved the children off him.

All 3 kids were pretty heavy sleepers and none woke as they were moved

Ala turned to her daughter "Wonderful to see you sweetie" she said giving her a hug

Torvil got up and gave his daughter a hug after his wife, and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back soon, once I get those three some presents..." He chuckled and hugged her again before walking over to Ala, and putting an arm around her waist.

Selene walked them to the door and saw them off, then watched her parents walk away an arm around each other's waists

Torvil purred and waited till they were in the middle of the street to scoop Ala up and open his wings. "I'm gonna take us home express..." He looked around to make sure no one was you know, freaking out completely.

Ala shook her head "Love they keep track of visitors we need to leave from the gates"

Selene chuckled watching her father looking around then went back inside"

Torvil shook his head, but continued to carry her towards the gates. "I swear... Once this whole thing is over it'll be too soon..."

"Over.. love I doubt it ever will be they've already been dealing with it for over 20 years" she said leaning against him

Torvil made a growling noise in his throat, a light one. "Give them a few generations with our family here..." He muttered. Walking out of the gates and making sure they checked the two off before taking to the air.

Ala nodded and yawned relaxing against him

Torvil was doing the math in his head it seemed. "Sooner or later... That village is going to have a population boom..." He flew quickly.

Ala nodded "Mmmhmm" she had closed her eyes as he flew

Torvil smiled. "Our Genes will save that village much heartache..." He chuckled.

Ala didn't reply to that comment as she was asleep

Ala is Haunted ~ cont.

Torvil landed some time later, and walked towards the house.

Ala didn't make any notice of this factor, once that he had stopped moving in the air

Torvil opened the door, supporting ala only with a hand as he did so, they carried her to their room.

Ala shifted slightly in his arms

Torvil smiled and put her down in bed, brushing her hair.

Ala mumbled quietly and rolled after he put her down

Torvil frowned and brushed her hair again, sitting next to her.

Ala slept soundly she was exhausted, after all she had made 3 flights that day, one to Barton, one back and one to Kazeha

Torvil smiled again once she settled and brushed her hair as she slept.

Ala made no indication she felt his hand moving through her hair as she slept

Eventually Torvil just curled up next to her and closed his eyes.

Couple hours later she stirred again

Torvil had his eyes shut, and was barely on the verge of sleep when he felt her stir.

Ala stopped moving yet again

Torvil opened his eyes slowly.

Ala mumbled very quietly and shifted positions obviously still asleep

Torvil got up and stretched, heading out of the room to go have a snack.

Ala didn't notice his movement or his leaving the room

Torvil came back with some crackers.

Ala mumbled, her fists closed as she slept curled up

Torvil watched her closely.

Ala hadn't changed since Torvil came back in

Torvil sat down in a chair and watched her wondering what was going on...

One of Ala's hands opened just slightly green light spilling from it

Torvil watched for a moment, wondering what on earth was happening.

"No...." it was the first legible word she'd mumbled that evening since their return

Torvil frowned. Was she... Dreaming! Of... Oh no... He moved to get in front of her hand.

Ala's hand closed again into it's fist, her other fist having never opened

Torvil moved and hugged her close. He whispered. "You're safe love... Sssshhh..."

Ala frowned as she was touched, her hand opening slightly again

Torvil winced. And let her go, rolling out of bed. He had no idea how to handle this...

"No!" she mumbled louder her other hand opening just slightly

Torvil sat on the bed and watched.

Ala laid quietly for a moment

Torvil touched her again lightly.

Ala flinched a little

Torvil frowned and cast his eyes around the room. He caught a tell-tale glimmer... And frowned. He couldn't touch him...

Ala mumbled softly

Torvil moved over to her and moved his lips to her ear. "Love..." He whispered. "I can't help you... It seems he's gone and assigned himself to you... You have to focus your will inward... Fight him..." He touched her shoulder lightly.

One of Ala's hands opened fully and the ball left it smashing loudly out a window in it's path as she nearly yelled "No!"

Torvil winced. Oh well... That was one window to replace... "Focus your will inward..." He whispered into her ear. "Fight inside not outside..."

Ala mumbled quietly her other hand closed again

"Change the playing field, don't repeat the same scene over and over, change it up... Make him have to match you from instant to instant..." He whispered.

Ala gave the faintest hint of a nod when she shifted positions in her sleep

Torvil waited and watched. All he could do was coach.

Ala mumbled with a frown, her hand reopened though empty

Torvil breathed a short sigh of relief.

Ala's hands and arms moved in front of her as if to protect herself... and her unborn child.

Torvil felt himself growl, and he closed his eyes, focusing, trying to help her as best he could. He could not intervene directly but...

Ala whimpered softly ... then growled

Torvil finally found himself next to her, he was utilizing the other side, so she was hazy, but to her it would be the other way around. He saw the other guy and growled. Then floated behind Ala. They could see him, but he could not interfere...

Ala briefly noticed him but was more in the 'don't take eyes off his' mood

Torvil nodded. "Keep him on his toes... You have the advantage, this is your home court..."

Ala looked determined "No, you won't..." her words with him there more clear then her mumbles

"Yes... I do... I failed the first time... I shall not fail this time..." Shezar Smirked and readied another charge.

Ala glared at him, she looked determined to protect not only herself but her child, her eyes were a very bright green as she drew her arm up across her chest her hand in a fist by her shoulder

Shezar smirked and charged.

Ala's arm whipped down her hand opening quickly part way down sending a fast energy ball at him

Shezar grinned and deflected it away. "Old tricks won't work on me..."

"You wont work on me" she said letting her wings flare as she avoided his charge

Shezar growled and slid turning.

Torvil smirked. "Ala.. keep your focus on Shezar but listen..." He looked down. "You have the power to banish him if you want...."

Ala used her wings to pull herself father way from Shezar "Leave me alone, leave me and my family alone. I didn't kill you you have no right to be doing this to me"

Shezar hissed. "You made it so my son could..." He growled.

"Wasn't my decision what the Elders did" she growled at him "Still isn't" she did her best to keep her distance from him

Torvil floated back behind her and watched.

Shezar growled, and glared. "This isn't the end..." He turned.

"Now Ala... Strike out with your will... Send him back to the place he came from..." Torvil said

"You will not haunt me... or my family ever again" she said loudly and and in a determined voice, she remembered Torvil touching his brothers when he banished them, she was away from him but not that far as she rushed him when his back was turned "I banish you ..." she seriously hoped it would work this was not an experience she liked

Shezar gasped... His image distorted, twisted, and vanished.

Ala collapsed with relief when he was gone

Torvil moved down to her, and would have pulled her into a hug if he could.

Ala's form slowly disappeared and in the waking world sat up with a start

Torvil slowly opened his eyes

Ala was panting

Torvil brushed her hair softly.

Ala turned and looked at him then collapsed against him crying

Torvil brushed her hair softly and rocked her.

"Why me...." she whimpered into his chest

Torvil held her close. "Because he knew that if he went after me I could have flicked him off in an instant..."

"But why me, I didn't send him to die" she sniffled

Torvil sighed. "Because he still was angry at you, angry that you beat him, angry that you got him caught in the first place..."

Ala nodded slowly

"He's gone now... He won't ever be coming back..." he brushed her hair.

Ala nodded slowly and pulled away a bit looking up at him with her pink stained cheeks

Torvil brushed her tears softly and kissed her forehead. "It always sucks the first time..." he kissed her cheek softly and sighed at the shattered window.

Ala turned to see what he was sighing at

Torvil kissed the side of her head and got up, moving to collect the shattered glass.

"Uhm... did I do that? or ...." she was staring at the window

"You were kinda in a fight..." He chuckled weakly. "I'm not surprised you broke it..."

Ala's face went red in blush "Uhmmmm I didn't know I was doing anything......"

Torvil chuckled. "It's alright..."

Ala bit her lip "sorry..."

Torvil chuckled. "It's alright love... Nothing I can't fix..."

"Yeah but I made more work for you" she said with a sigh a hand resting on her belly

Torvil smiled. "Yay, work, something to do instead of sleeping... or pretending too..."

Ala laughed then paused with a small frown "Thought you said... he'd have s LOT of paperwork to do that...."

Torvil grunted. "Must have cheated the system... Or sat like a mofo and filled it all out..."

Ala nodded and stared at the blankets on the bed

Torvil went about fixing the window, getting the glass shard and alchemying them back into the frame.

Ala sighed not looking up

Torvil came back once he was finished and crawled into bed.

Ala was playing with the sheets when he returned

Torvil hugged her close.

Ala smiled weakly and looked up at him

Torvil brushed her hair. "See, all done..." He kissed her gem.

Ala nodded "I didn't like that.... was like... I couldn't leave..."

Torvil nodded softly and hugged her. "He had you going on a loop..."

"A loop? sorry love but there still so much about that kinda thing I don't understand" she said with a sigh

Torvil brushed her hair. "He used your memories to put you in a situation, and replayed it over and over..."

"Uhm.. k" she sighed and stared at the bed again

Torvil hugged her to him. "Its over..."

Ala nodded "He looked... shocked..."

"Banishment isn't the nicest thing you can do... And it is... rather... shocking, as they suddenly see where they're going to go..."

"I don't think he would have left me alone, or let me leave there if...." she paused "If I hadn't"

Torvil nodded. "Sometimes it's necessary... like with my brothers..."

"You let your brothers stay around for a long time,...." she replied

"Because they only bothered me, only threatened me..." He touched her belly. "He threatened bump... "

Ala nodded "I've never done something like that before" she whispered

Torvil nodded. "Let us hope you never have to again..."

"How did I see you in there... not that I know where 'there' was" she looked up at him

"I tracked Shezar down, using the other side... I couldn't interact though..."

"why?" she didn't understand, mind you most of the other side she didn't understand

"I entered with my mind only, projected... And it's against the rules to interfere..."

"Where was that" she asked quietly

"Most likely, your mind..." He brushed her gem softly with a finger.

Ala looked at him very confused

Torvil sighed. "He got you while you were sleeping, they can do that... Get in your head.

Ala bit her lip "Uhm... how did you know to look for well him..."

"About the time you broke the window... you'd cycled through it..."

Ala looked at him "uh,......" she was confused.... still

Torvil brushed her hair, "You repeatedly acted like you were being attacked... I could only think of one person..."

"Oh..." she bit her lip "ok..." she sighed "I wish I understood all this better"

Torvil brushed her hair. "I'm not the best teacher.."

She chuckled lightly "Guess you figured out it couldn't be a dream...."

Torvil nodded. "You don't dream..."

Ala chuckled "not without you" she reached up and put a finger on his red gem

Torvil purred softly and hugged her close.

Ala returned his hug happily, she was glad to be out of that

Torvil hummed softly and brushed her hair.

Ala looked up at him "you're pretty smart to have figured out what was happening just from what I was doing...."

Torvil smiled softly. "Something wasn't right..."

Ala nodded "guess I don't do... whatever it was I was doing usually huh"

Torvil hugged her closer. "That's true, and I hope you don't ever do it again..."

"I think he was the only true 'enemy' I ever have had.... " she mused

Torvil nodded slowly and brushed her hair.

Ala smiled softly "something wasn't right... I don't think I would have figured it out if our roles were reversed" she said with a sigh

Torvil brushed her hair. "I'm sure you would have..." He kissed her gem.

Ala shook her head "I'm not familiar with that stuff the way you are. I wouldn't know what to look for"

Torvil brushed her hair. "Well hopefully we won't have to go through this again..."

Ala nodded and sighed

Torvil hugged her close and started to hum.

Ala hugged him back and relaxed against him

Torvil kept up the humming, holding her to him and rocking softly.

Ala fought the idea of going back to sleep.

Torvil stopped humming after awhile.

"Sorry" she said softly

"Its alright..." He brushed her hair and held her.

"Just nervous about the idea of sleep right now..." she said with a sigh

Torvil nodded and rushed her hair softly. "You don't need to sleep..."

"Wouldn't mind food though" she mused

Torvil nodded and got out of bed, offering her his hand.

Ala took his hand and climbed off the bed

Torvil walked her to the kitchen.

Ala followed feeling relieved. her free hand rested on her belly

Torvil smiled and kissed her softly as they entered the kitchen.

"Love you" Ala said softly as the kiss broke

Torvil purred happily. "Love you too, now what do you want to eat..."

"Doesn't matter.. maybe something that's not soup this time" she said with a nod

Torvil chuckled and looked through the pantry.

Ala took a seat and watching him and waited

Torvil came out with some oatmeal. "All we got that's simple and not soup..."

Ala burst out laughing "gimme some brown sugar and cinnamon with it I'll live"

Torvil nodded and made it up, doing just that. He brought her a bowl of it and a spoon.

"Not joining me?" she smirked holding back a laugh as she added the sugar and spice to her bowl

Torvil smirked. "Not hungry..."

Ala laughed "Ok" she started eating her food

Torvil watched her with a smile.

Ala finished up her little meal and sat watching him

Torvil purred and stood up, taking her bowl and putting it the sink before returning.

Ala smiled at him "I'm glad you know about those things..."she frowned "Could he have really hurt me in there?"

"No, but he could have made you hurt yourself..." Torvil said slowly

"How?" she wanted to know just in case for the future

"Well what if you had fired a blast into the roof and a piece of debris fell on you..."

"Oh...." she said quietly

Torvil nodded slowly. "You have to make sure you're devoting all the energy inside..."

Ala nodded "I didn't know what I was doing besides protecting myself" she mumbled

Torvil nodded and moved over to her, brushing her hair.

Ala looked up at him with a soft smile

Torvil smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Ala sighed

Torvil brushed her hair, and sighed lightly.

Ala looked up at him "Did he just plain sneak in there, or is it cause I can see them...."

"Probably a little of both..." He said softly.

Ala smiled weakly and nodded

Torvil brushed her hair softly and purred.

Ala sighed "Lets go lay down together at least"

Torvil nodded. He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, laying her down.

Ala relaxed on the bed and looked up at him "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight but at least I can cuddle with you"

Torvil nodded and cuddled close with her.

Ala cuddled as close as she could resting against his chest

Torvil brushed her hair, cuddling her close.

This story line has a background, previous experience with Shezar was as follows

Setting: A funeral, that wound up not a funeral, at the cliffs where Torvil was born
Torvil chuckled. "I think she can put two and two together love..." He smiled. "We've gained a lot of renown today...
Ala shook her head "I suppose we must have, especially since I wasn't born Dragonic" her eyes moved again and landed on the man Malkar had said was his father
He smiled at her, and waved, brushing his hair softly and headed over.
Ala nodded her head in a small bow, and watched him approach
He reached her, and bowed slightly. "I am Shezar..."
Ala nodded "Yes Malkar pointed you out to me earlier, it's nice to meet you, I'm Ala, Torvil's mate"
Shezar bowed lower. "I see..." He kissed her hand. "Can I talk to you alone perhaps?"
Ala glanced back to her husband before agreeing "All right"
Torvil's face was a bit sullen, he was ready to head home...

Sherzar smiled and motioned for her to follow.
Ala followed she saw his face, she knew they would be heading out soon
Shezar led her to a more distant cave and leaned against the wall. "And interesting day..."
"Agreed" She said not leaning against any walls just standing facing him
Shezar sighed. "A funeral that ended not as a funeral... Your husband is... Shall I say... A threat to my position... Since Malkar is now alive I have an heir again..."
"And how is he that" she asked with a raised brow
"Rhazar has asked me to resign and let Malkar take my place..."
Ala nodded "And this involves Torvil how?"
"Had Torvil not brought him back..."

"I do not believe Torvil brought him back for the Elders, he did it for Mikiri"
"So? I lose power either way..."
"How may I ask does this involve me Shezar, Torvil is my mate but I didn't know he was going to do any of this"
"Would Torvil kill to protect you? Or rather... Would he commit murder to make sure you lived?"
Ala's eyes narrowed "Are you making a threat on my life Shezar"
"Maybe..." Shezar grinned, popping his neck.
Ala's fists were balled her eyes shifting color as she looked at him through narrowed eyes
Shezar walked towards her slowly.
Ala would protect herself if she had to, she had been a bit of a distance from him as they spoke not exactly trusting him, her eyes were now fully bright green
Shezar grinned, and charged her.
Ala lifted her hands and let the energy balls loose at him
Shezar flew back wards, his head smacking the wall hard and falling limp.
Ala didn't check on him she let her wings loose and left he cave as fast as she could returning to the group
Torvil saw her and waved her down, Malkar already had a few hunters poised outside of the cave when she left.
Ala flew straight into his arms not worrying about her wings at all
Torvil hugged her tight. "Malkar suspected he'd try something... He convinced me to stay out..."
"He tried to kill me "she choked out her eyes slowly reverting to blue
Torvil hugged her close. "Shhhh, shhhh, you're okay..."
Ala clung to him
Torvil rubbed her back softly, all eyes were on them but he didn't care. He brought her mouth to his and kissed her.
Ala returned the kiss feeling her fear drain away, when she broke from the kiss "I used more energy on him then that tree" she said softly
Torvil smiled. "With lucky you killed him... But..."

"THAT b***h!" Came a roar from the cave.

"Guess not..."
Ala spun in her husbands arms her wings pressed against her, her eyes stopped shifting back to blue
Torvil hugged her close. "Let Malkar take care of it..."

Shezar came tearing out of the cave, only to be tackled by the hunters.

"Shezar... By the powers invested in me by the council of nine, I hereby declare you unfit for membership, and I shall take your stead..." Malkar boomed. "Your crime is the attempt on the life of Mrs. Rakamash, mate of Torvil Rakamash, last remaining male of the Rakamash household..."
Ala watched the scene even though her eyes returned to green as she remained as close to her husband as possible
"I committed no crime! She attacked me!" Shezar hissed.

"Enough of your lies! Hunters, toss him in the hole and lock him there till I can deal with him..." Malkar boomed, the hunters quickly jumping to task.

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

God damn him! You'd think that he'd follow the rules... Ala's a noncombatant... She's not trained to handle hauntings at all... I'm so sick to my stomach right now... I'm going to go talk to Asmodeous soon... See if I can get Shezar erased...

Dinner in Barton

Ala wandered about the shop sorting cupboards, drawers and other things. She was trying to keep herself busy, though what she was doing she found kinda boring

Torvil entered the shop from the back, he walked up behind her slowly, and wrapped his arms around her. "Sorting?"

Ala started then relaxed and nodded "Yeah, trying to find some order in all this chaos. I think the kids got into some of it at some point"

Torvil nodded slowly. "It can wait you know..." He kissed the back of her head and nuzzled her hair.

"It can huh" she said stopping her hands still in the drawer as she turned her head a bit to look at him

Torvil purred. "I was thinking you and I should go out..." He rubbed her tummy. "And Bump too of course..."

"Where will we go then?" she said with a smile

"I was thinking Barton... To walk around and explore, maybe stop by a nice place and have some dinner..." He smiled softly. "A place with a soup and salad bar of course..." He nuzzled the back of her head.

Ala chuckled and pushed the drawer closed "We can do that" she said with a nod and a smile

Torvil smiled. "Good..." He broke from her slowly and took her hand, walking for the front of the shop.

Ala chuckled turning to follow him "You sound happy about that" she mused

Torvil purred. "I haven't taken you anywhere nice in awhile... Never actually..." He pulled her into a walking hug.

Ala nodded "I see" she said with a nod and wrapped her arm around his waist as they moved"

Torvil purred and walked them out of the shop, heading down the path.

"Least it's a nice day out" she leaned against him her free hand resting on her belly

Torvil nodded and scooped her into his arms and taking to the air in the next step. "Yes, it is..."

Ala chuckled resting against him as he flew towards Barton

Torvil smiled and landed once they reached there. It was an easy flight and even with her slightly extra weight, she weighed nothing to him.

Ala grinned "Can I walk now?" she giggled

Torvil chuckled and put her down.

Ala smiled and wrapped her arm around his waist again "Lead the way"

Torvil nodded and started to walk around. He was heading towards a more shady part of town, and by shady it was almost entirely covered. He looked around and smiled. "This is a nice little city..."

Ala nodded "It's a pretty little place yes. So what's planned?"

"Well I'm gonna pick up some things for Torvin, and the triplets, then we'll have dinner..." He smiled, entering the covered area.

Ala nodded "Okies" she relaxed against him as they walked

Torvil smiled and brushed her hair as he turned them into an alleyway. He reached the end and turned to the right, going down some stairs.

"What's down here?" she asked curiously as they descended

Torvil chuckled. "This is where I buy all our blood from..."

"Would explain why it's rather hidden" she said smirking

Torvil chuckled. "Because the owner lives in the building, and keeps all of it down here in containers so it doesn't spoil..."

"Sounds like a plan, no need to have spoiled blood, that would be a waste" she chuckled

Torvil nodded and opened the door. He smiled as the small bell above the door made a faint 'ting'.

Ala stepped inside the shop looking around

There were large tanks all along the walls, all of them had dates listed... Torvil walked along till he reached a desk, there was a small thin mad behind it, reading from a large book.

Ala walked along slightly behind him cause she was fixated on all the tanks they passed

Torvil coughed lightly.

The man looked up, and smiled. "Ohhh! Torvil its you!" He chuckled. "I thought it was someone else. Who's the lovely lady?"

Torvil smiled. "My wife."

The man nodded. "Ahh I see... Hello Mrs. Rakamash..." He waved.

Ala turned at the sound of her name "Hello" she greeted the man

The man smiled and then turned to Torvil. "What will be your choice today?"

Torvil put a finger on his lips a moment in through. "Some of the better stuff, lets say, some Aristocrat 1456..."

The man nodded and got up, leaving the room.

"Interesting name for it" she said with a chuckle she had returned to looking at everything

Torvil chuckled. "It's named for who it was from and the year..."

The man came back a short time later with a corked bottle, gold changed hands, and Torvil put the bottle away in a bag.

Ala smiled looking at the man "Thanks" she said

The man smiled. "You're welcome Mrs. Rakamash..." He went back to reading his book, and Torvil walked over to Ala, taking her hand again.

Ala nodded and took his hand turning to head out of the store with him

Torvil purred. "He likes you..." He chuckled walking up the stairs and back onto the street.

Ala laughed "What makes you say that" she said

Torvil chuckled. "He talked to you..." He hugged her closer and walked towards a better lit store.

Ala shook her head with a chuckled "He spoke to you too you know" she smirked

Torvil chuckled. "I'm a paying customer... A well paying customer..."

Ala just chuckled "Where are we going next?"

"Toy store for the triplets..." He chuckled.

Ala chuckled "All right" she squeezed his hand happily

Torvil smiled and entered the heavily dragon themed toy store.

Ala glanced around "Appropriate shop" she said with a nod

Torvil smiled. "Thanks, been eyeing it for awhile..." He walked back towards the Plushie section.

Ala followed him she looked around as she moved through the store

Torvil smiled and reached the largest Plushies taking a red, green, and yellow one out of the pile. He had a bit of trouble holding them though.

Ala chuckled and reached out taking one from him

Torvil smiled. "Thanks..." he walked towards the register.

"If you can't hold them all I might as well hold one" she said following him

Torvil nodded and paid for them, walking out of the store. "Now dinner..." He chuckled.

Ala nodded "Now dinner" she agreed with a smile as she followed after him

Torvil headed for a place that looked decent. As in, not needing reservations, and having good food.

"Where are we gonna put these while we eat?" she asked with a laugh

Torvil chuckled. "Hmmm..."

"They are rather big, we shoulda gotten them after" she laughed

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..." He shook his head. "Oh well..." He smiled. "We'll make it work..."

Ala nodded "Yup we will"

Torvil smiled and entered the restaurant. They were seated rather quickly, and he carefully set all the things under the table.

Ala leaned on the table looking across it at him "Have you been here before?" she asked

Torvil shook his head. "Nope..." He chuckled.

Ala smiled "Me neither, so this should be interesting."

Torvil chuckled and smiled at the server, ordering some wine, as it was the closet he could get to blood, seeing as they didnt' list it ont he menu.

Ala frowned "No wine for me" she said and glanced at her menu unsure what else to get

Torvil smiled softly at her. "Water?" He asked softly.

"I guess that will what it has to be" she said with a nod

The server smiled and nodded, skittering off to go get it

Ala looked up at Torvil

Torvil smiled. "I should have thought of that right off the bat..." He said looking over the menu.

Ala smiled softly at him then looked back at the menu

Torvil smiled and decided to have a steak, rare...

Ala sat and debated what to eat then sighed "You pick for me love, I really don't know what to have"

Torvil nodded as the server returned. He went with the raw steak, and ordered the same for her.

Ala smiled leaning on the table "Why haven't we ever done anything like this before?"

Torvil chuckled. "I don't know... The thought didn't occur to me till now..."

Ala chuckled "Well we'll have to do it more then.."

Torvil nodded. "Yeah..." He smiled, then sighed. "I need to get out more learn about, and get used to, technology." He sighed. "The Clinic scares me! Would you believe that?"

"The place that has helped us scares you?" Ala was curious

Torvil chuckled weakly. "All the technology..." He blushed. "I'm still getting used to the TV..."

Ala chuckled "Yeah you are getting used to it aren't you, I'm sure there's other things you are still getting used to as well"

Torvil nodded. "Light bulbs..." He blushed. "It still freaks me out when all I have to do is flip a switch to make it light..."

Ala chuckled and reached across the table for his hand "You'll get used to it love" she said quietly

Torvil nodded. "I know... Its just difficult.." He sighed. "I'm still reeling that steel isn't the be all and end all..."

Ala smiled softly

Torvil chuckled weakly. "Its embarrassing I bet..."

Ala raised a brow "embarrassing? why?"

Torvil chuckled. "Your husband is freaked out by anything more advanced than steel smelting..."

Ala chuckled "I don't find that embarrassing. it's just something that has to do with your upbringing and where you are from"

Torvil chuckled softly. "Well yeah.... That's also why I love sharing a bed with you..." He smiled. "Now I have another body nearby, and I'm not crammed into a hole..."

"Crammed into a hole?" she raised a brow

Torvil nodded. "So dad couldn't get to me..."

"Erm... ok" she knew not what on earth he meant besides staying away from his father

Torvil sighed. "Dad wouldn't let me sleep in our cave, and when he saw me, he would come after me... Usually I ended up sleeping in holes two sizes too small.

"That had to be rather uncomfortable" she mused

Torvil nodded. "Quite..."

"Well now you live in a home, though not a cave and a bed with someone who loves you" she said with a nod

Torvil purred. "And I'm quite happy for that..."

Ala smiled and played with the edge of her napkin

Torvil smiled as they brought the food. He nodded his head in thanks, and began to eat.

Ala thanked the server as well and started to eat

Torvil smiled. "This is good..."

Ala nodded "Little too much in quantity, but quality isn't bad at all" she said

Torvil nodded. "We'll take it home..."

Ala nodded "Ok" she turned her attention back to her meal

Torvil finished his rather quickly, evening eating the veggies that came with it.

Ala smiled finishing as much as she was going to eat. looking up at him again

Torvil nodded and waved down the server. He paid the check, and got them a box.

"Thanks love" Ala said with a smile leaning on the table again

Torvil smiled and put the food in the box, finished the transaction and stood, picking up the stuff.

Ala got up taking the last stuffed dragon "Where to now love?" she asked with a smile

"Well, we could go home... Or we could explore a bit more?" He asked.

"You pick love" she said with a chuckle, she was enjoying the outing

Torvil nodded, deciding they would explore, he walked out of the restaurant

Ala followed after holding his elbow with her free hand

Torvil purred and walked with her down the street. "How are you feeling? Will we need to stop so you can sick up later?"

Ala chuckled "Right now I feel fine, I can't say for later"

Torvil nodded. "Well, let me know if you start feeling bad..."

"I will don't worry" Ala said with a smile and a nod

Torvil nodded and smiled, kissing her ear.

Ala purred softly and cuddled into his side

Torvil smiled and walked around for awhile, trying not to freak every time a car drove by.

Ala smiled up at him "My brave handsome husband" she giggled

Torvil chuckled weakly. "It's hard..." He smiled, softly.

"Doesn't make you any less brave... or handsome" she purred

Torvil purred softly. "Thanks love..." He nuzzled her hair.

"You are welcome" she said with a smile

Torvil smiled. "You're freaking hot too ya know..."

Ala blushed lightly "I'm not that hot" she mumbled

Torvil purred. "To me you are..." He patted her tummy. "That bun in that oven of yours just screams fertility goddess..." He nuzzled her ear and nipped it.

Ala went redder in the face at that

Torvil purred and pulled her into a secluded nook of the buildings, he wasn't worried about them being disturbed. He nipped up along her ear.

Ala purred closing her eyes

Torvil flicked his tongue against her ear, his hands moving across her back after he put the stuff down to empty his hands.

Ala purred louder at his actions

Torvil purred and and nipped harder on her ear, running his tongue along it as he moved his mouth towards her lips.

Ala dropped the dragon with the other two and wrapped her arms around him

Torvil purred and moved his lips to hers, kissing her deeply.

Ala leaned into the kiss happily

Torvil purred happily and deepened the kiss.

Ala's hands found his nodes and moved over them

Torvil purrs rose loudly and his tongue brushed against her lips.

Ala's lips opened admitting him, she held him close desiring the closeness

Torvil purred happily as he slid his tongue along hers, he pulled her as close to him so that she could be comfy even with her belly.

Ala's tongue moved with his, she purred contently

Torvil slowly broke away, his forehead resting on hers as he took a breath.

"Perhaps... " she took a breath "We should head homewards" she said opening her eyes

Torvil smiled. "Alright..." He purred, he kissed her forehead and pulled away, picking up the thing he'd put down.

Ala smiled and picked up the 3rd dragon again then let her wings unfold and spread

Torvil smiled and let his flare forth. "Let us go..." He said, taking to the air.

Ala nodded and followed him into the air

Torvil flew happily humming to himself.

Ala flew near him watching the trees below. With little warning she pushed the stuffed dragon to him "ok now I need to" she mumbled before descending looking for a place in the green surrounding them to land

Torvil took the dragon and followed, "There love, to the right, a clearing..."

Ala landed and lost her cookies in the tall grass near the edge of the clearing

Torvil took it rather well, standing there and waiting.

Ala sighed and wiped her mouth with a napkin from her pocket then turned around "Shall we keep heading home?" she gave him a wry smile walking back to him

Torvil purred and nodded, kissing her forehead before taking to the air.

Ala followed him into the air "I can take one of these again"

Torvil handed her the one on the top, that she'd been carrying.

Ala took it and held it under her arm "We'll have to get one of these for bump when they are born" she mused

Torvil nodded. "I was thinking the black one..." He smirked.

Ala chuckled and nodded "Ok black it is"

Torvil smiled and purred, flying along towards home.

"I will be quite glad when I stop getting sick" she said with a sigh

Torvil nodded. "As will I..."

Ala flew silently beside him

Torvil smiled softly. "That little episode won't stop me when we get home..."

Ala looked at him and blinked

Torvil chuckled. "We had something rolling before we left, most of the time an episode like that would kill the mood..." He turned his head towards her. "But not today..."

Ala smiled softly "not today.." she repeated softly

Torvil smiled seeing their home, he purred.

"Least it's not a long flight" she chuckled also spying their house in the not-so-far distance

Torvil purred. "Yeah..."

"I think it's about as far to Barton as it is to Kazeha" she said with a nod, "just in different directions"

Torvil nodded and chuckled.

Ala landed on the grass back of the shop and folded her wings

Torvil did the same, walking to the door and jimmying it open with his foot.

Ala chuckled and followed him running a free hand across her belly

Torvil purred and put the stuff down right outside the kitchen.

Ala dropped the 3rd dragon on the pile and looked at him

Torvil purred and moved over to her, pulling her close.

Ala purred wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him

Torvil purred and kissed her softly.

Ala returned his kiss happily

Torvil deepened the kiss.

It was Ala's tongue this time that moved along his lips as she let her eyes close

Torvil purred and opened his mouth.

Ala's tongue moved softly about his mouth with his tongue, her hands moved gently along his back

Torvil purred and pulled her as close as he could with her tummy as well as her comfort.

Ala's hands easily found and caressed his nodes as she continued to kiss him

Torvil's purrs rose quickly as his tongue danced with hers, his hands returned the favor to hers.

Ala broke the kiss purring loudly

Torvil purred happily, resting his forehead against hers.

Ala purred holding him close

Torvil purred happily. "I love you, my gorgeous wife, mother of my children..."

"I love you my hot husband, father of my children" she murmured softly back to him

Torvil purred happily. "And you're still as hot as you were before bump..."

Ala blushed at his flattery

Torvil purred and nuzzled her. "Yes... Verrrry hot..."

Ala blushed deeper still playing with his nodes

Torvil purred very happily and moved a finger to his mouth, he licked it and touched her chin, making sizzling noises. "Owch..." He smirked.

"You tease" she said quietly still quite blushing

Torvil chuckled. "No I don't..." He chuckled and kissed her nose. "You're super hot..."

"Prove it" she said with a smirk

Torvil purred and moved his lips to hers.

Ala purred and met his kiss

Torvil purred and moved them to the couch, pulling her into his lap.

Ala smiled softly her hand moving from his back to his chest

Torvil purred and broke the kiss, nuzzling her softly, his mouth moving towards her neck.

Ala purred slowly tipping her head slightly as he moved

Torvil purred and nipped lightly at her neck, sucking softly and kissing.

Ala purred her hand moving along his chest on the outside of his shirt towards it's hem

Torvil purred contently, his treatment of her neck beginning to grow rougher. He growled softly and licked and kissed it, nipping a bit harder. He had no intention of feeding... That could hurt Bump.

Ala moaned softly, her hand found the hem of his shirt and was moving back up his chest under the fabric

Torvil purred and nuzzled and nipped, kissing and sucking harder, leaving love marks.

Ala's index finger drew little circles around his n****e , she purred loudly

Torvil shivered lightly and he shifted her on his lap a little. He kept at her neck.

Ala moaned softly as she kept drawing

Torvil finally broke away, his breathing slightly heavy. He purred loudly and kissed along her chin towards the other side of her neck.

Ala's head slowly tilted the other direction as he moved

Torvil purred and assaulted this side of her neck.

Ala moaned softly still drawing circles and now and then pinching

Torvil moaned softly into her neck, starting to n** and suck harder.

Ala's hand slid away from his chest sliding downwards as she breathed

Torvil purred happily, leaving love marks on this side of her neck as well. One of his hands moved to rub her belly.

Ala's hand came to rest on his hips as she sat straighter

Torvil smirked. "Miss it?" He chuckled lightly.

Ala nodded "Yeah to be honest I do" she said with a sigh referring to the /really/ close intimacy

Torvil nodded slowly. "Well... I want to make you happy... "

Ala nodded and looked at her hands "I don't know what would make me happy right now, my insides a jumble of feelings right now"

Torvil nodded and brushed her hair

Ala stared at her hands biting her lip

Torvil kissed the top of her head and brushed her hair.

Ala smiled softly and reached for the nearest cracker container, which was empty "Guess I need to refill this" she said kissing his cheek and getting up walking not slow but not normal speed towards the kitchen

Torvil nodded and sat there, smiling softly.

Ala refilled the container heading back into the living room

Torvil nodded and got up. He kissed her cheek as he walked by, heading for their room.

Ala smiled softly and dropped onto the couch again sitting and munching on crackers trying her best to sort out her thoughts

Torvil came back later with a soft smile on his face as he sat next to her.

Ala looked up towards him when he sat

Torvil smiled and pulled her close.

Ala leaned against his side still munching

Torvil purred softly and nuzzled the top of her head.

Ala smiled "I love you" she said happily

Torvil purred. "Love you too my vixen queen..." he smirked

Ala chuckled resting her hand on his leg

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her hair.

Ala giggled and tipped her head kissing his cheek

Torvil purred, moving his head so he could kiss her.

Ala met his kiss softly

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her as he broke away.

Ala smiled and closed her eyes relaxing

Torvil purred and moved his head to the top of hers, kissing it.

Ala smiled "I love you" she said quietly

Torvil smiled and kissed the top of her head again. "And I love you..."

"What should we do now?" she asked quietly

Torvil smiled softly. "I don't know... Cuddle?"

"I guess that works" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded and slid her back into his lap again.

Ala shifted in his lap so she sat on his lap but straddling his legs so she could wrap her arms around his neck and lean forward against him

Torvil purred happily and kissed her softly.

Ala returned the kiss softly

Torvil purred quite happily and deepened the kiss.

Ala purred softly into the kiss, what she wanted the most right then was closeness and love

Torvil purred and pulled her closer to him, as much as her belly would allow.

Ala softly broke the kiss and leaned her forehead against his

Torvil purred and ran a hand up and down her back.

Ala sighed softly and moved her head to nuzzle the side of his face and neck

Torvil purred softly and brushed her hair.

Ala nuzzled deeper into his neck kissing it softly

Torvil tilted his head, his purr rising.

He may not have fed on her but she felt like feeding on him. she kissed and nipped softly as he tilted his head

Torvil's purrs rose happily.

Ala licked his skin softly after a while then bit down into his flesh sucking softly

Torvil purred happily and held her head there.

Ala fed contently sucking a little harder once she got started, she had noticed of late her gem didn't start glowing when she fed from him which was kinda nice in her opinion

Torvil purred happily, keeping her head where it was, his fingers brushing her hair.

Ala fed for a while before pulling away licking the punctures she had made and then her lips

Torvil purred contently, his already pale skin a little paler.

Ala looked at him curiously when she sat up again

Torvil chuckled, his gem glowing lightly. "You were thirsty tonight..."

Ala chuckled "I guess....." she said quietly one hand on her belly the other running softly along his cheekbone

Torvil purred. "Not that I mind..." He smiled softly and nipped at her finger playfully.

Ala smiled softly and giggled when he nipped at her finger

Torvil purred and when he got a hold of it, started to suck on it lightly.

Ala giggled and purred as he sucked on her finger

Torvil nipped it softly and then let it go, licking it as it slid out of his mouth.

Ala sighed softly and leaned against him

Torvil brushed her hair and started to hum.

Ala purred softly as he hummed

Torvil smiled and ran a hand up and down her back as well.

"I'm still having a hard time sleeping" she said quietly

Torvil nodded and brushed her hair gently. "He can't get you anymore..."

"I know.... " she said with a sigh

Torvil kissed her head softly. "And you're safe with me..."

Ala nodded and sighed "I know" she said quietly

Torvil brushed her hair. "Do you know what's giving you trouble?"

Ala shook her head "No"

Torvil brushed her hair and sank into thought

Ala relaxed against him a hand running along the side of her belly

Torvil put a hand on her belly and smiled. "Soon... But not quite soon..."

Ala smiled " yup a ways to go yet" she said with a nod

Torvil smiled and kissed her head.

"I love you" she said looking up at him

Torvil purred. "I love you too..."

"I'm glad I have you... things could probably have gone worse last night otherwise" she said softly

Torvil brushed her hair. "Or would never have happened in the first place..."

"Ok have you here with me now if you wanna be that precise" she mumbled

Torvil kissed her softly. "I regret not a day of it love... I hope you don't..."

"Not a single second of it" she replied

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her.

Ala smiled returning the nuzzle

Torvil purred contently.

Ala sat up a bit and looked at him with a small smile

Torvil purred. "Mmm?"

"I dunno, just really enjoying the closeness, I miss the intimacy so I sitting happily with the closeness

Torvil nodded and purred happily. "Me too..."

Ala smiled and relaxed again against him

Torvil purred and nuzzled her softly.

Ala felt a little flutter inside her and giggled since it tickled

Torvil cocked a brow.

Ala looked up at him "That tickled" she laughed

Torvil looked at her perplexed. "What did?"

"I think bump moved" she whispered

Torvil beamed and put a hand on her tummy in the hopes that bump would do it again.

Ala giggled and sat up, she looked down at his hand on her belly

Torvil smiled and nuzzled her. "Come on bump... move for daddy..." he said softly.

Ala sat quietly, after a while she felt another small flutter and couldn't help but giggle again

Torvil positively beamed with parental happiness.

Ala chuckled "First times" she said looking up at him

Torvil nodded and smiled happily. "For everything..." he purred and kissed her softly.

Ala purred and returned his kiss

Torvil happily rubbed her tummy as they kissed.

Ala purred softly

Torvil smiled and broke this kiss slowly, letting his forehead rest against hers. "I love you and bump very much..."

"We love you very much too my sweet" she replied

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her happily.

"What should we do now love?" she asked softly

Torvil smiled. "We can cuddle more... Or we could eat... or something..."

Ala sighed "Doesn't matter to me love long as it's with you"

Torvil nodded and brushed her hair.

Ala purred softly and nuzzled his hand

Torvil purred and kept it there, stroking her hair.

Ala smiled softly and kissed his hand

Torvil purred and kept at it, his other hand on her belly.

Ala smiled and looked at him

Torvil smiled and leaned closer, stopping when their noses touched.

Ala purred and gave him an Eskimo kiss

Torvil purred happily and leaned closer, giving her butterfly kisses.

Ala giggled "Lets do something... I don't know what... just... something"

Torvil chuckled. "Too late to deliver the gifts... So what do you suggest..."

Ala shrugged "I don't know, just something that doesn't involve us sitting on this couch all night"

Torvil chuckled. "A walk?"

"Sure" she said with a smile

Torvil stood and offered her his hand.

Ala smiled taking his hand "lets not walk into any black flowers this time" she said with a chuckle

Torvil nodded. "Aye..." He said, heading for the door.

Ala followed closely with a smile

Torvil purred and put her beside him as they left the house.

Ala snaked her arm around his waist happily

Torvil purred and took a safe path.

Ala smiled "it's a nice evening out" she said softly trying to start a conversation"

Torvil nodded. "Very nice... Do you think the triplets will like their presents?"

"I have a feeling they probably will, I had to chuckle when I saw Selene's dragon there though, I wonder if Vin took his too" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "He did..." He smirked.

Ala chuckled "Still kids at heart I suppose" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "Or love to have something that smells like family..."

"Quite possibly that too, neither leaving was planned" she said nodding

Torvil nodded and hugged her closer. "I wonder what they're doing right now..."

"Torvin is probably wooing his girl, and Selene /trying/ to get 3 kids to bed" she predicted

Torvil chuckled. "I wouldn't be surprised..." He brushed his chin. "I'm surprised he hasn't come to talk to us about her..."

"he seemed a little nervous about it when I saw him last" she said looking up at him

Torvil nodded and tapped his chin. "Wait..." He frowned. "Why would he be nervous?"

"Not sure, he was waiting for her to come over after final bell for the academy, he blushed often when when we were talking about it and he seems to want her to like him and not be scared off, he was nervous he might have when she saw the fact he was eating raw meat and drinking blood" she looked back to the path

Torvil tapped his chin. "Wait..." He bit his lip. "He wasn't worried about the urge at all?"

Ala shook her head "He didn't say anything about the urge to me...."

Torvil frowned. "He was the worst out of all of us I think... I clocked him... He's got a three minute clock time..."

Ala nodded "I remember you saying that at one point... I guess we'll have to see what happens, maybe he'll come back tot he house for more books or something soon"

Torvil nodded and froze. "Wait... What if... That would be..." He stood in deep thought.

Ala stopped and looked at him "What?"

"What if he's found a way to stop the urge..."

"Vin is a smart young man, you never know, he might have...." she said with a slow nod

Torvil chuckled and started walking again. "If he did... I think he might discover other things... Things all Draconic could use.."

"Like what?" she asked with a smile

"We have no form of birth control... What if he discovers something..."

Ala chuckled "I never did ask Kal about the male side of Kerrsalian fertility..."

Torvil chuckled. "You should... I might let us know a bit about how Torvin might be... But..." He frowned... "He's got about as much me as you in him... So yeah..."

"So does Selene but she may not be very fertile now either" Ala said

Torvil nodded and brushed his chin.

"I guess it's a wait and see for her" Ala mused

Torvil nodded and tapped his chin for a moment.

"You look thoughtful" she said

"There's a lot to think on..." He said.

Ala nodded and looked back at the path

Torvil started to walk again. "I wonder what our newest child will think of its siblings..."

"I don't know... hopefully nothing unusual" she said

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "I would hope..." he hugged her with one arm.

Ala returned his one armed hug "He or she will be raised to not think any different of them then we do, they are family after all"

Torvil smiled. "Of course love..." he nuzzled her ear.

Ala cuddled against him happily

Torvil smiled as they passed a rose bush. He stopped for a moment and plucked to of the flowers, de-thronging them and handing them to Ala. "For you and Bump..."

Ala smiled and accepted them "Thankyou love"

Torvil smiled and kissed her.

Ala returned the kiss

Torvil purred and started them walking again.

Ala smelt the flowers as they walked and she leaned her head against his arm

Torvil purred happily.

"Love you" she purred

Torvil purred. "Love you too..."

"Shall we head back now?" she asked

Torvil brushed her hair. "Only if you want to..."

:I'm not picky" she replied

Torvil nodded and kept walking.

Ala cuddled happily into his side

Torvil purred when their reached their spot, he touched her arm and motioned for her to sit on the grass of the hill.

Ala nodded and sat down

Torvil pulled her closer to him.

"Always loved this place" she mused

Torvil smiled. "Glad you do..." He kissed the side of her head.

Ala turned to look at him and give him a proper kiss

Torvil purred happily into it.

Ala moved closer to kiss him deeper

Torvil purred happily, pulling her closer.

Ala slowly broke the kiss and looked into his eyes

Torvil purred happily and smiled. "Love you..."

"We love you too" Ala said softly and nuzzled him

Torvil purred and nuzzled her back, a hand going to her belly.

Ala smiled and cuddled

Torvil purred contently, cuddling up close to her.

"Have you ever made anything else like this place before?" she asked

Torvil smiled softly. "No..." He said just as soft as his smile. "This was my first project..."

"Special then" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "Yes..."

Ala smiled looking out towards the falls

Torvil nuzzled her softly.

Ala leaned against him

Torvil brushed her hair softly.

Ala smiled softly and looked up at him "love you"

Torvil smiled back. 'Love you too..."

"Should we head back? it's getting kinda late" she asked

Torvil nodded and stood, pulling her up with him.

Ala chuckled "Thanks for the hand up"

Torvil purred and kissed her before walking back up the hill, an arm around her.

Ala cuddled close "Cool out tonight, I should have brought my coat" she mused

Torvil smiled softly and pulled her into his arms, heating up his body.

Ala smiled "Nice and warm" she purred

Torvil purred happily and kissed her head, walking for home, Ala held close to him as he gave off heat.

Ala purred happily

Torvil reached home in a short time, and opened the door, heading for their room.

Ala smiled relaxing

Torvil kicked off his shoes and slid the both of them into bed. He wasn't remotely tired.

Ala smiled and cuddled and rested her hand on his hip

Torvil purred happily, his hand brushing her face softly.

"Nice and warm in here too" she said with a giggle

Torvil purred, having already toned down his temp. "Yeah..." Torvil hugged her close, humming again, brushing her hair.

Ala cuddled against him and just relaxed

Torvil soon fell asleep humming.

Ala relaxed against him and reached to pull the light cover over them, she didn't fall asleep though ... she wasn't sure if she would, only time would tell as she reached above their bed to shut the light off

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

Took Ala out to dinner today, figured I should... I mean, I haven't yet, it really has never crossed my mind till I saw the place. I'm worried about Ala tho... She doesn't seem to be sleeping... She'll fake it for a bit, get up, do something, and then come back to bed and fake it more... Perhaps I should show her what happened to Shezar... I wish Asmodeus would erase him already...

Ala's Fears Are Eased & A visit to the kids

A few days earlier, Ala was up earlier then usual, early in fact to the point where Torvil had still been asleep, she'd been doing it for a few days. She grabbed some toast with jelly and headed back out to the shop to continue the sorting and tidying she had started the day before

Torvil rolled out of bed, rubbing his eyes. He stood, and took a quick shower, tossing on his clothes as he headed for the shop. He had a sneaking suspicion of what was giving her trouble sleeping.

Ala munched on her toast and was close to finishing it since she was being slow about it as she sorted a drawer in the back room

Torvil found her sorting, and hugged her again from behind. "You're still afraid of him aren't you..." He said softly.

Ala jumped slightly and looked over her shoulder as she relaxed, she was still not used to picking up the scent of someone approaching. She sighed and nodded

Torvil brushed her hair softly. "Do you want to see him to make sure he can't come back?" He said softly. "Because he can't unless you free him..." He nuzzled her softly.

"I... I guess" she said quietly

Torvil nodded slowly, and held her close. This was going to be a bit more tricky. "Close your eyes..." He said softly, putting his hand on her belly and starting building a defense for bump.

Ala nodded and closed her eyes

Torvil shifted them watching as the twisted nether wrapped around them. He didn't close his eyes, he could not and protect bump's fragile mind with his own. He knew well enough not to try and analyze the chaos around him. He was shivering and sweating as they landed other side, both of them covered in the brown cowls. He panted lightly and removed his hand from her tummy, bump was safe.

Ala waited for him to let her know to open her eyes. She had only been here once before and still knew little about the place.

"You can open them..." He said softly, still shivering a bit. Passing Ala through was easy enough, passing her and bump however... Was much more difficult, as the small and defenseless mind of bump had to be defended from the nether's warping.

Ala opened her eyes and looked at him "You ok?" she asked when she noticed his shivering

Torvil nodded. "Just a bit more outta me this time with bump." He smiled. "Now lets go... The Abyss is this way..." He said softly, the word seeming to echo darkly as it left his lips.

"All right" she said with a nod taking his hand

Torvil took her hand and squeezed it, walking towards a black spire off in the distance, as thy got closer it became obvious that it was much different from the Tower of Woe. For one, its sides were perfectly smooth, and there were no visible doors. It was also perfectly round and the top was a perfect point, seeming to disappear in the blood red sky above it.

Ala stared at the as they approached it she moved closer to him

Torvil brushed her arm softly as they reached it. He put his hand against the flat surface and walked forward, pulling her along with him. Soon they were just surrounded by darkness, only able to see each other.

Ala bit her lip "Dark" she said nervously, dark as it had been in her mind

Torvil hugged her close to him as a small light appeared in front of them.

"Request, Shezar - Cross check Rakamash..." Torvil said to the light.

The light flashed twice and suddenly they stood on the top of a tall rock spire, Shezar hung upside down in front of them, hanging by his legs from a wooden cross like fixture, his arms out spread on the boards. He growled at Ala.

Ala backed up a bit seeing him.

Torvil held her close to him, himself having to back a step.

"So you've come to watch eh?" Shezar growled looking out across the plains behind him. "Well they'll be coming soon..."

As Shezar said this, a large Raven landed on one of the arm bars of the wooden cross piece, it squawked.

Shezar's face went pale.

Ala's nervousness around the man was obvious on her face, she didn't reply to his words as she looked at him

Torvil brushed her hair. "He can't hurt you anymore..."

Another Raven landed on the opposite cross arm. It looked to the first and the two leaned down, starting to peck at Shezar's arms.

Shezar winced.

Ala nodded slowly, like many other things in the other side the scene she was seeing was also something she didn't quite understand

Torvil pulled down her cowl and turned her head towards him. "This is his personal hell... I would suggest we leave before it gets any worse..." There was a large cloud of black on it's way, and it wasn't rain.

Ala nodded, two ravens was one thing, she didn't want to see more "What.. do your brothers have?" she asked quietly

Torvil let them sink back into the blackness before answering. "Kahkeru... relives the pain of me removing his head..." He sighed. "And Mezaru goes through the crushing of his heart..."

Ala bit her lip "think it'll ever teach them not to harass you?"

Torvil smiled. "Won't matter cause I'm never letting them out..."

Ala nodded "What of your father... think he's changing at all?"

Torvil shrugged. "I've been getting reports that he's being better behaved... As best as one stuck in a crystal can..."

Ala nodded thinking of the last time, and technically the first time she'd ever seen the man

"Do you want to visit him?" He asked, walking out of the Abyss, back under the blood red sky.

"I suppose, it'd probably be better then what I just saw..." she said looking up from under the cowl at the red sky

Torvil nodded, and started walking her towards the Tower of Woe.

Ala's hand moved across her belly as they walked, she looked down again from her gaze at the sky and watched where they were walking

Torvil smiled softly. "I don't think bump will need to know of this place..." He said softly, holding her close.

"No I don't think they will, we don't need them coming here" she replied

Torvil nodded. "I hope that they cannot..." He said softly, walking with her. "Or rather, don't know how..." He walked with her into the tower, heading for the gem prisons.

"Agreed" she said quietly, squeezing his hand as they walked

Torvil stopped before Korvil's prison, returning her squeeze.

Korvil's forehead rested against the glass, his horns buried in it. He looked depressed.

Ala peered through the crystal at him. As much as Korvil had done bad, he intrigued her. She wondered if she should tell him about his great grandkids

Korvil looked up. "Oh..." He muttered. His eyes looked hollow, and his voice wasn't much better. "I've been waiting..." He said softly, his hand resting on the gem. "I'm sorry..."

Torvil stood dumbfounded.

Ala was shocked to hear those words come from him "you are?" she asked

Korvil nodded. "I've heard that Shezar is dead..." He sighed heavily. "My vengeance is denied me there..." He sighed again. "And Visha came to me..."

"Shezar is dead, " she nodded "He tried to attack me" she said quietly. "What did Visha want...." she was curious at that comment

Korvil chuckled weakly. "To congratulate her descendant..."

"What???" now she was confused

Korvil chuckled. "It would seem that my line are the direct descendants of Visha..."

Ala blinked. She paused for a moment in thought "Would explain why Vina looks so much like her, and the ones at the cliffs think that she is.."

Korvil grinned. "So perhaps my son's children aren't evil..." He noticed her slight budge, and a bright smile came to his face.

"Nor are his grandchildren, your great grandchildren, one of which was named after you" Ala told him

Korvil's eyes started to tear up. He sat down. "I'm not worthy of that..." He said softly. "I was absolutely terrible to Torvil..." He looked to his son, who still stood stock still. "And all of his children..."

"Your grandson seemed to think you were, he's the one who named his sister's youngest child" she said looking down at him

Korvil started to cry and he wiped his eyes.

Torvil walked over to the gem slowly and touched it, it dimmed and Korvil was released.

Ala watched Torvil's actions from where she stood resting both of her hands on her belly

Korvil stood frozen for a moment, and then pulled Torvil into a hug.

Ala watched Torvil's expression, he had looked nearly ready to pee his pants when his mother did it, she was curious about now with his father who had been worse

Torvil's eyes were open wide with terror. His body was stiff, and he seemed to be hyperventilating.

Ala approached the two till she was standing right next to them

Korvil let his son go, and saw the wide-eyed look of terror. "Sorry..." He said softly.

Torvil just looked down at the ground.

Ala placed a hand on Torvil's shoulder "not an easy thing" she said quietly to Korvil

Korvil nodded. "I know..." He said softly, reaching out towards Torvil only to fall short. "Perhaps you should go Torvil... I won't bother..."

Torvil moved forward and wrapped his father in a hug, crying.

Ala smiled softly watching them

Korvil brushed his sons hair.

"I love you dad..." Torvil sobbed.

Korvil's eyes teared up and he hugged Torvil closer. "I love you too son..."

Ala smiled watching them, she stood back a little bit her hands resting on her belly

Torvil broke away slowly and wiped his eyes. "I'll come visit later dad... and we'll talk..."

Korvil nodded.

Torvil walked over to Ala and took her hand, walking her towards the exit.

Ala gave Korvil a small wave as she was led towards the exit

Torvil put his hand on bump and looked at Ala. "Close your eyes..." he stopped.

Ala stopped and nodded closing her eyes as he instructed

Torvil slid them through again, panting hard and sweating profusely as he ended up with them on the rug in their room. His face was deathly pale and his forehead was soaked in sweat.

Ala opened her eyes and looked at him her face showed concern when she saw his appearance

Torvil moved his hand from bump, and promptly passed out, falling like a sack of potatoes.

Ala frowned and went to find a cloth returning her eyes shifted green as she wet it. she sat down next to him and started wiping his face and forehead with it

Torvil woke a few minutes later. "Ow..."

Ala kept wiping his face the cloth still damp from her waters which she was using to keep it that way. "You ok?" she asked

"Fine... Just over taxed myself... Looking at the twisted nether is rather difficult..." He chuckled weakly, reaching up to stroke her face.

Ala nodded and stopped wiping his face as he reached to hers as she looked at him with green eyes

Torvil stroked her face softly. "Your eyes are very pretty... Green or blue..." He smiled.

Ala chuckled "Thanks love" she said letting them shift to normal

Torvil purred and his face regained its normal color, which would be considered rather fair by most standards

Ala rested her hand on his chest lightly as she nuzzled the hand on her face

Torvil purred and pulled her closer to him, kissing her.

Ala purred softly as she joined the kiss

Torvil purred and pulled her so she rested atop him, his hand moved up and down her back happily.

Ala smiled shifting so she wasn't laying on bump and cuddled happily

Torvil sat up slowly, keeping her in his lap, one hand going to bump. He smiled. "I think I'm going to try and bring dad back..."

Ala looked at him "Are you 100% certain he's a changed man?"

Torvil caressed bump. "I'm going to talk to him more... But I think he is..." He smiled softly. "It won't happen over night... Getting him back... I'll have to re-piece his body together..." He said softly.

Ala nodded slowly

"anything not there I have to replace by magic, which means my own energy... and he's big..."

"I could see that much, the size that is...." she said with a nod "Are you going to tell... mom? or Mikiri?"

Torvil shook his head. "I think they'll understand when he shows up..."

"I hope so" she said quietly

"Mother will be thrilled, she misses him..." He sighed.

"I imagine she does, but in a way wasn't she also afraid?"

Torvil nodded. "Father wasn't abusive to her... Just to me... but you know..." He sighed. "He had his moments..."

"So many changes, both in your family... and the people at the cliffs in general" she mused

Torvil nodded. "For the better I think..." he said softly.

"I'd have to agree there, though you know to be honest I think at least your mom should have warning if you decide to do it... don't need her having a heart attack and having to bring HER back too"

Torvil chuckled. "I think I'd have to worry about her crushing me to get to dad..." He shook his head. "They were almost as bad as we are... if not worse... I don't remember a time that dad didn't have bruises everywhere..."

"I meant before he's back love, just to warn her kinda thing" she said

Torvil nodded. "I'll probably let her know..."

Ala smiled softly

Torvil smiled and kissed Ala softly, pulling her as close as bump would allow.

Ala purred and leaned into the kiss

Torvil purred happily into the kiss, his hand on bump gently rubbing and massaging.

Ala purred happily wrapping her arms around his neck letting the cloth drop

Torvil purred and leaned into the kiss deeper, his fingers gently kneading bump.

Ala purred softly feeling a flutter feeling in her belly

Torvil purred feeling the motion as well against his finger tips. He put his entire hand against her belly and started to rub.

Ala slowly broke the kiss "I think bump likes that" she whispered

Torvil purred and started to kneed her belly again. "Then I am glad..." He whispered back.

"I know I do" she purred

Torvil chuckled lightly and nipped at her ear, brushing it with his tongue as his fingers continued to lightly kneed bump.

Al a purred loudly closing her eyes

Torvil kept his fingers doing what they were doing as he attacked Ala's ear. He loved the shape of them, their sharp points and extra length gave him more to play with. His teeth lightly ground against the upper part of her ear as his tongue brushed it quickly.

"Mmmmmm" and held herself close

Torvil purred happily his fingers kneading a bit deeper, but not near enough to harm bump. He licked and nibbled on her ear happily.

Ala purred as she felt another flutter in her belly

Torvil purrs rose as he beamed, nipping a bit more on her ear as he felt the movement of the child in her.

Ala moaned softly as he nipped

Torvil purred. "You like?" He whispered into her ear, then ran his tongue along it seductively.

Ala nodded slightly her finger tips moving along his shoulders

Torvil purred and nipped the tip of her ear, holding it between his teeth as he flicked his tongue against it.

Ala moaned softly

Torvil purred his fingers still kneading against bump as his other hand moved up and down her back. He started to bite down the length of her ear, his tongue brushing roughly against the flesh he caught in his teeth each time he stopped.

Ala's hands found his nodes, her fingers digging in just a little

Torvil purred, kissed her softly.

Ala returned his kiss equally softly

Torvil purred and broke slowly. "You're very pretty pregnant..."

Ala gave him a mock pout "Only very pretty?"

Torvil chuckled, and kissed the pout. "Ravishing, gorgeous, stunning, goddess also come to mind..."

Ala giggled "Oh ok"

Torvil purred and leaned down for a kiss.

Ala met him for the kiss happily

Torvil purred and slid his hands down to massage bump.

Ala broke the kiss looking at him happily

Torvil purred and started walking her towards the bed.

Ala purred as he moved her

Torvil slid her into it slowly, moving to lay beside her.

Ala smiled "What else are we going to do today?"

Torvil chuckled. "Up to you love..."

Ala shrugged "I don't know" she said pulling a hand from the towel and wiping sleepy dust from the corner of her eye

Torvil purred softly and nuzzled her nose. "We could eat... Or nap... Or cuddle... Or go deliver the gifts..."

"All of those sound like good ideas" she said with a chuckle

Torvil chuckled. "We go deliver the gifts, mooch of Lene, maybe nap with the kids then come home and cuddle..." He chuckled.

"mooch of Lene?" Ala raised a brow

Torvil winced. "I meant off... mooch off her..."

Ala giggled "Silly Torvil" she said reaching her free hand to stroke his cheek

Torvil purred and picked her up, starting for the front door, only stopping to pick up the presents...

Ala chuckled "How are you going to carry all of that and me"

Torvil juggled it and finally had to put her down.

Ala chuckled "Want me to take one?"

Torvil nodded and handed her the one she had taken the day before.

Ala took the dragon and put it under her arm

Torvil smiled and headed for the door.

Ala followed letting her wings unfold as she walked

Torvil walked outside and took to the air.

Ala spread her wings and followed him

Torvil smiled and flew off toward Kazeha.

Ala flew along side him and thought then laughed "We must look like an odd sight.. two humanoids with huge dragon wings flying and carrying huge plush dragons"

Torvil chuckled. "Yes, quite odd... But fun..." He smiled.

"Very fun" she said with a nod

Torvil smiled, and spotted Kazeha off in the distance.

Ala smiled as the village appeared, for those who didn't know that it was there and didn't have an invitation into the village it wouldn't appear, which of course explained why the Keeper couldn't find it

Torvil smiled and landed at the gate, making sure they were seen.

Ala landed beside him folding her wings "Alatariel Rakamash and husband Torvil to visit Selene Rakamash and children" she told the questioning guardnin and smiled when he admitted them, she noted again Alix to not be there and figured him on break

Torvil smiled and headed on into the village, first stop was Torvin's house.

Ala smiled as they entered the town center and turned towards her son's home

Torvil reached his son's home and knocked on the door.

"In a minute..." Came the voice of Torvin.

Ala smiled "Well least he's home this time"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..."

The door opened. "Father!" Torvin beamed. "Mother! Come in!"

Ala chuckled "Hello son" she said

Torvin absolutely beamed. "Hello mother..." He moved out of the door way so they could enter.

Torvil stepped in.

Ala entered after Torvil and placed the dragon down near the door to pick up on her way out

Torvil did the same, but handed the bottle off to his son, who thanked his father and skittered off to the kitchen.

"Well he's excited..." Torvil blew a bang from his eyes.

Ala laughed "I'm going to guess that means his time with Kimi went well" she said moving into her son's living room and taking a seat

Torvil chuckled and sat down, sniffing the air. He blinked. "I'd say..."

Ala chuckled, her sense of small was still quite muddled and she had a feeling it probably would stay that way till the child was born

He shook his head, and chuckled when Torvin entered the room. "Busy with Kimi lately?"

Torvin blushed hotly.

Ala giggled "I'm going to take that as a yes my son"

Torvin blushed more, sitting down. "It was... wonderful..." He blushed.

"When can we see the kids?" Torvil chuckled.

Torvin smirked. "There aren't any..."

Ala raised a brow "Aren't any?"

"Nope..." He chuckled lightly.

Torvil blinked. "Then you..."

"Yep..."

Ala raised her brow "Very interesting... makes me want to Kal even more" she mused

Torvin chuckled. "I did it myself mother... I altered my urge potion..." He chuckled and shook his head. "Course, now I can hardly focus around Kimi... Well in any non sexual way..."

Ala chuckled "I believe you did, but I'm referring for later"

Torvin nodded, and smiled, then eyed the dragons. "For Selene's?"

Ala nodded "Yup, your father's choice" she said with a chuckle "Picked them up right after we picked up the blood"

Torvin smiled. "Well I'd offer to join you, but I'm going over to Kimi's in a bit."

Ala chuckled "Somehow that doesn't surprise me"

Torvin blushed lightly. "I'm just making sure she's got everything in order..." He chuckled, leaning back.

Ala raised a brow "Ok, not sure for what... Anyways I'm gonna leave you two for a father son chat for a few, I'm going to go over tot he council chambers for a few" she said getting up

Torvin nodded and smiled.

Torvil turned to her and gave her a 'what?' look.

"Going to find Kal for a minute" she said softly as she passed him "You chat with your son about his new love" she kissed his forehead and headed out the door

Torvil nodded and purred, turning to Vin.

They talked.

Ala went the chambers then returned about 20 mins later she knocked once then opened the door

Torvil was talking to a very red faced Torvin.

"And then, if you..." He stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Oh hi love."

Ala chuckled and walked up behind Torvil "Having a good conversation?"

Torvil chuckled. "just giving Torvin here some tips..."

Ala smirked and laughed inwardly "Would explain his red face"

Torvil chuckled and looked up. "Well I'm sure he must be hot to trot... And we do need to deliver those gifts..."

Ala nodded "Yes we must... " she moved to pick up the dragon she had put down "Oh by the way son, your seed may only work half the time..." she said

Torvin smiled. "Good... Then I can be a lot less worried..."

Torvil nodded and stood. "Well it was good to see you son."

Torvin nodded.

Ala walked over and gave her son a one armed hug

Torvin purred at his mother. "I'll see you around mom..."

Torvil picked up the things he was carrying. "Come on love..."

Ala nodded "Not sure how much longer I'll be flying long distance, so eventually you'll have to come see me" se smiled kissing her son's forehead then heading out the door

Torvin smiled. "I will!"

Torvil smiled and wrapped an arm around her, and handing her one of the dragons.

Ala chuckled carrying two dragons "Now off to see if Selene is home"

Torvil nodded. "I hope so..." He chuckled, heading for her home.

"Who knows" Ala chuckled

Torvil reached the house and took the dragons from Ala, she got to knock on this door.

Ala smiled and knocked on the door and heard a literal stampede on the other side

Torvil chuckled.

The door flew open revealing the two boys of Selene's clutch

"G'day boys" Ala greeted them

Torvil smiled, his face hidden by the dragons.

"Grandma! Grandpa! those for us?" Aidan said excitedly

Selene came down the inner stairs with Naoma who's hair she had just been doing

Torvil chuckled. "Maybe... Have you been good?"

"Always!" both boys cried and raced outside taking hold of Torvil one on either side

Naoma giggled and ran out to join them taking hold of her grandfather from behind

Ala shook her head "Mind if we come in?"

Selene smiled "Course not, come on in"

Torvil chuckled and walked into the house. "Well gee... Suddenly these dragons are really heavy..." he smirked. "Or perhaps its' the extra pounds I've gained..."

Ala laughed "I'm the one gaining weight... but maybe it's the fact you have 6 dragons right now"

Torvil chuckled. "Perhaps..." He smiled and stood in the center of the room. "Alright, all good little dragons front and center."

Ala chuckled and took a seat on a chair

Selene stood next to her mother

All 3 kids detached from him and raced for a spot in front of their grandfather

Torvil smiled and passed out the dragons, Naoma getting the yellow one, and the two boys getting the red and green respectively. "Feel free to trade for your favorite color..."

All three squealed happily and raced upstairs making again what sounded like a stampede worth of sound

Torvil laughed and sat down on the couch.

Selene shook her head "Thanks dad" she said with a chuckle "I'll have to remind them of their manners"

Torvil chuckled. "Its okay for now... Their happiness is thanks enough..."

Selene smiled and nodded "How are you two doing?"

"Okay..." Torvil chuckled. "Found out Torvin got himself some action..."

Selene laughed "Told him there was females here"

Torvil chuckled. "Well obviously he found one..."

Selene laughed "And I'm sure you gave him lots of fatherly 'advise' " she winked

Torvil chuckled. "Yes, I did..."

"I can only imagine" she chuckled and glanced towards her mother who looked as if she was starting to nod off. "Mom ok?" she asked her father

Torvil smiled softly. "She's just tired..." He scooted over to Ala and moved her to put her head in his lap.

Ala looked up at him briefly before closing her eyes again

"Tired? I don't think I've seen mom let herself get tired..." Selene mused sitting on an armchair

"She's had a rough couple days..." He sighed and stroked Ala's hair. "Haunting and all..."

"What?!?" Selene sat up straight

"Shhh..." He waved her to calm down. "Shezar was haunting your mother... She banished him..." He brushed her hair. "She was having trouble sleeping until I showed her he really was there..."

Selene stared at her father open mouthed not saying anything

Ala dozed off for the first time in a couple days

Torvil brushed her hair. "On that note, your kids might get introduced to their great-grandfather... "

Selene blinked "Grandfather? how? he's dead... He's someone I thought who would never be brought back!"

Torvil nodded. "He's a very different man now, and perhaps worth the effort..." He sighed. "I'm probably going to have to get some help from other side though..."

"How so dad?" she was a little concerned about this after all her grandfather had been part of the group who had tried to kill her and her twin brother

Torvil smiled softly. "Well for one, he's repented... And Two..." He brushed Ala's hair. "He said he wasn't worthy of your son being named after him..."

Selene nodded slowly

"So I think he's finally alright..." He said softly.

"We'll see dad, I guess we'll see" she said quietly

Torvil nodded, and leaned back.

Selene sighed "Can I get anything for you dad?" she said standing up and heading for the kitchen "I don't store blood here though so it'll have to be something different."

Torvil chuckled. "Anything will do..."

Selene nodded and disappeared into the kitchen returning a few minutes later with a cup of coffee for him and a glass of juice for her

Torvil smiled and took it from her, sipping at it lightly.

"What else have you guys been doing?" Selene asked after sitting down again

"Finding out exactly how close we can be..." He said softly, brushing her hair with a slight smirk.

Selene chuckled "Ok that's nearing tmi dad..."

Torvil chuckled. "I won't go into detail..."

"Thankyou I appreciate it..." she said with a nod "Anything else talking worthy?" she asked looking u at the ceiling as a set of feet ran across a room above the ceiling

Torvil hummed for a moment. "Not off the top of my head..."

"Ok..." Selene said drinking her juice

"Oh!" Torvil thought for a moment. "Bump's moving now..."

Selene smiled "Must be an experience you are enjoying dad"

Torvil purred happily. "Yeah... You guys didn't move around all the much.."

Selene laughed "Neither did the triplets, I don't think we really had time to"

Torvil nodded. "Yeah, his one seems to be going pretty steady..." He ran a hand along bump softly.

Selene smiled "When's mom due?"

Torvil shrugged. "I haven't the slightest clue, we're waiting for a call for a checkup and whatnot."

Selene nodded "I see"

Torvil brushed Ala's hair and rubbed bump softly. "Yeah..." He smiled lightly. "Are they going to come down anytime soon?

"Hang on dad" she did want to holler so she went upstairs after the triplets, a few minutes later they came walking down having been warned of their grandmother being asleep followed by Selene

Torvil smiled. "How are my favorite dragons?" He chuckled lightly, not all that loud so as to not wake Ala.

All three grinned at him "We're good" Aidan replied for them

Selene sat down again

Torvil smiled and nodded his head. "And how is your father?"

"Daddy is at work" Naoma piped up as the three of them crowded onto the loveseat

Torvil chuckled. "Oh? He wasn't at the gate..." He looked to Selene.

Selene nodded looking at the clock "He'd just be getting back from his lunch break about 15 minutes ago"

Torvil nodded and smiled. "Ah I see..." He smiled. "Has Torvin contacted you yet..."

"Not in a few days, I got the impression he's rather busy"

Torvil chuckled. "I think he was... " He smiled at the kids, and kept stroking Ala's hair and rubbing bump.

Naoma giggled "Whatcha doing grandpa?" she asked watching his actions

Torvil smiled. "Rubbing bump and stroking your grandmother's hair..."

"Why?" Naoma asked

He smiled. "Because I feel like it..."

"Oh" she sat down and looked at something else in the room

Selene smiled softly

Torvil chuckled. "And also because I love the both of them very much..."

Naoma giggled and nodded

Torvil smiled and looked at the three. "Did you like you presents?"

All three kids nodded happily "Yup"

Torvil smiled. "Good... Take good care of them..."

"We will, thanks grandpa!" Aidan said

Torvil smiled and nodded, leaning back happily and continuing to brush Ala's hair and massage bump.

Ala yawned and slowly opened her eyes looking around then up at him

Torvil purred happily. "Hungry Shade of my heart?"

Ala nodded "Did I...?" she glanced around noticing the triplets downstairs again

Torvil chuckled. "Yes, you took a nap..." He looked up at Selene. "Do you have anything we could eat?"

Selene thought for a minute "Sandwiches ok? I could make some for the kids too"

Ala blinked "I don't remember doing so" she mused quietly

Torvil brushed her hair. "You were tired... Sandwiches okay?"

Ala nodded "Sandwiches are fine"

Selene smiled and disappeared into the kitchen

Torvil kissed the top of her head lightly. "How do you feel?"

Ala thought for a moment "tired actually" she admitted

Torvil nodded. "You can eat and nap... I'll take you home while you sleep..."

Ala nodded and pushed herself up to sit

Selene returned with a tray of roast beef sandwiches for all 6 of them

Torvil smiled and took one, handing it to ala, then one for himself. He chuckled. "You're short a sandwich..." He gave her a smirk.

Selene laughed "There's more then 6 sandwiches there dad, the kids tend to eat more then one each on their own, I think I used the whole loaf of bread"

Ala smiled and started eating

Torvil chuckled. "Really?" He smirked at the kids. "But are you sure you didn't forget bump?"

Selene laughed and shook her head

Torvil chuckled and ate his fill leaning back and waiting for Ala.

Ala ate 2 then stopped, the triplets wolfed down at least 2 each

Torvil smiled. "Ready to go love, or do you want to start napping here..." He kissed her cheek.

"Doesn't matter" Ala said quietly

Selene smiled at her parents then took the now empty tray to the kitchen while they decided

Torvil brushed her hair and stood, pulling her into his arms. "Selene hun... I'm going to take your mother home..." He smiled at the kids. "I'll see you guys later..."

Selene returned just in time to hear his words "All right dad have a safe flight"

Ala relaxed in his arms and closed her eyes again

Triplets all waved happily "Bye grandpa, bye grandma!"

Torvil waved. "Bye!" He walked out the door and down the street, making sure the guards took his name down at the gate and flew off towards home.

Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 1:27 am

A visit to the kids cont. & a visit with Korvil

Ala fell back to sleep in his arms feeling absolutely exhausted

Torvil landed at home a bit later, and put her to bed. He rested next to her, listening to her sleep.

Ala stirred just a little when he put her down opening her eyes for a moment before dozing right back off again

Torvil lay beside her, until he had to go to the restroom. He got up and did his business then came back after drying his hands to lay back down.

Ala slept for another half hour or so after he returned then stirred and stretched starting to wake up

Torvil smiled as he felt her stir and stretch.

Ala opened her eyes and looked at him then gave him a smile

Torvil purred and kissed her softly. "Feeling better?"

"Not so tired now" she said with a nod

Torvil smiled. "Good..."He purred loudly. "And tonight you'll get more rest and be right as rain..."

Ala smiled softly

Torvil purred and kissed her.

Ala returned his kiss softly

Torvil purred happily and broke the kiss, nuzzling her face softly.

Ala smiled "What shall we do now love?" she asked rolling onto her side and reaching and running a finger along his side

Torvil purred. "Whatever the great Queen of the land desires..."

Ala laughed "Is that so"

Torvil chuckled. "Aye, for she is the mother of prince/princess bump, who is the successor to the throne..." He smirked. "I am but the lowly king of the land, having no power but to serve my mistress the Queen, for I come from common stock."

Ala laughed "I chose the last thing" she said running a finger on his towel "Kinda a shame we had to hightail it outta there earlier, your father, regardless of his downfalls, well,,, he intrigues me"

Torvil chuckled. "So you want us to go back and half another talk?"

"It'd probably be easier for you and bump if he could do what your brothers used to.. especially since I can see and hear... " she mused

Torvil nodded and took her hand, walking her to the couch so he could cuddle next to her. "Just give me a sec..." He closed his eyes.

Ala laughed "Shouldn't we get dressed first?"

Torvil shook his head, and the ghostly image of his father appeared and solidified.

Korvil stood in the middle of the room looking around.

Ala chuckled the budge in her belly was very plainly visible when she had a towel wrapped around her "Welcome to our living room" she said at the tall man who was looking around

Korvil smiled at Ala. "I am honored..." He knelt down, bowing his head. "Why have you summoned me Torvil?"

Torvil chuckled. "Ala wants to talk..."

Korvil's brow rose.

Ala chuckled "be normal Korvil, I've only ever had one other DL kneel anywhere near me besides my mate and I don't really think I'm needing of it. Besides, you are family."

Korvil nodded and sat down on the floor with a smile.

"Kinda felt rushed earlier, don't really know you and kinda would like to..." Ala said leaning against Torvil

Korvil smiled. "Well it would be an honor to know my son's mate..." He looked down at his feet. "Though I owe him more apologies than I could ever from....

"Technically I'm his second mate, but I don't see myself going anywhere any time soon. " She told him

Korvil looked at Torvil his eyes wide.

"She left me father..." Torvil said softly. "A long time ago..."

Ala nodded "Long enough time ago that it's the past now" she added "The present and future is what counts"

Korvil just nodded slowly. "In any case..." He turned to Torvil. "I am sorry... Truly, for the things I have done..."

"I've only heard of some of the stuff I'm sure, personally experienced very little, but it's a wonderful change in my mind to hear the apology" she said quietly

Korvil bowed his head.

Ala smiled softly and looked towards her husband, she rest a hand on her belly

Torvil smiled softly. "I forgave you a long time ago father... For everything..."

Korvil sighed heavily, he looked like he was about to cry again.

"Ok I think we have enough tears for now, now I think it's time to start anew and truly get to know each other" she smiled

Korvil wiped his eye. "Yes... You're right:

Ala chuckled "Yup, so as you already know I'm Ala, and I was originally a pureblood Kerrsalian, though not anymore" she said as her tail moved lazily near her feet "I have gotten to know Mikiri, Malkar and Mitizimi, now I want to get to know you"

Korvil bowed his head again. "What do you want to know."

"I don't know, just want to get to know you as well, the new you" she chuckled "after all I can't describe someone I don't really know to a child" she said motioning her belly

Korvil smiled. "I'm sure it will be a beautiful child... Odd though, that you have not bore it already..."

"My Kerrsalian side seems to be effecting this pregnancy more then the first time I bore children, besides the fact we had to seek help to conceive this child" and said trying to clear that up

Korvil nodded and shook his head. "I understand little of help... But I do understand your different race..."

"Well only partially now" she nodded

Korvil nodded. "Regardless, you were not what you were before..."

Ala nodded "Now I'm more Torvil then I am me, species and race wise at least"

Korvil chuckled. "And interesting turn of events..."

"Much so, though many of hte changes I took hurt like hell" she said with a nod " especially my head when my horns grew and my back.."


Korvil chuckled. "Aye, tis quite displeasing to grow in the horns...."

"Even your back wont let things grow cause of your body constantly healing, that one made me pass out" she nodded

Korvil winced. "Must have been most unpleasant..."

Ala nodded "now they unfold quite nicely when I want them to" she paused "Course they made Mitizimi faint.... oh well...."

Korvil chuckled. "My wife has always been one for hysterics..."

Ala laughed "especially when she finds out her kid is a winged"

Korvil smirked. "Well now... Aren't I a lucky father..."

"And grandfather, all 3 of our born children are as well" she said with a nod

Korvil smiled. "Well now, any other surprises I should know of?

Ala glanced at Torvil unsure if he planned to do what he was thinking of, or if he planned to tell Korvil

"Dad..." Torvil finally spoke.

"Yes son?" Korvil looked to Torvil.

"I'm going to bring you back..."

Korvil stared wide eyed.

"He's done it a couple other times Korvil, he brought back Mikiri when she committed suicide, as well as Malkar the same day" she said quietly

Korvil shook his head. "That's not it..." He said softly. "What if Mitizimi has moved on..."

"She hasn't... She still mourns..." Torvil said softly.

Ala nodded "She does"

Korvil looked down at his hands. "If that is what you wish Torvil..."

"It is father... and call me son..."

"Son..."

Ala smiled softly "Many many changes in the Rakamash family, as well as changes in the cliffs. Will you be ready for that Korvil?"

Korvil nodded. "Aye..."

Ala smiled and nodded "I think all the changes are for the better, including yours"

Korvil smiled. "Thank you.."

Ala closed her eyes for a moment "Oh geez why now, back in a moment guys" she said holding her towel and getting up leaving the room rather quickly

Torvil winced, and Korvil tilted his head. "She ill?"

"Morning sickness... Something they get with longer pregnancies..."

Korvil shook his head.

Ala made it to their bedroom bathroom and did her thing returning a short time later wearing her kimono robe instead of the towel

Torvil and Korvil were talking.

"Are you sure you're up to it son? It sounds like quite the risk..."

"I'll be fine dad, trust me..."

"Last time he brought someone back it was Malkar, and he drained nearly all his energy. I shared mine with him .... and scared the healer pretty good" she said catching their conversation as she entered her tail moving lazily behind her as it stuck out of a slit in the back

Korvil looked at Torvil. "I will not have my son give his life to bring me back..." He sighed. "The old me would have... But not now... You have a family to raise and a loving wife who needs you."

Torvil growled. "You have a wife too father, and if we don't act soon she's going to be joining you..."

"Do you want that Korvil? Want Mitizimi to join you there?" she asked

Korvil frowned. "No..." He sighed. "I want her to be happy, but if we lose our son..." He shook his head slowly.

"You wont.... it took him bringing back two people last time to lose his energy, not just one as it would be in your case" she said

Korvil nodded.

"And I'll have help from Asmodeus..."

Ala nodded "He's thought about this Korvil, put faith in him" she said "and don't mind me these things want air... " she grumbled she let the wings unfold from her back "I control them not the other way around but sometimes they just seem to want it" she shrugged

Korvil chuckled softly and looked them over. "I truly am a blessed man, it took death to see that..." He shook his head.

"Death to see that?" she raised a brow

Korvil frowned. "My wording perhaps is strange..." He shook his head. "I am blessed, but I had to die before I could see them..."

"Ah ok I see. You will come to see white-hairs aren't as bad as they are made out to be... even your daughter learned that" she said with a nod standing beside her husband

Korvil bowed his head. "Blame Shezar... He used them as a scapegoat..."

"Shezar has been banished in the other side, he tried to use me against Torvil at the cliffs, it didn't work out for him and when he escaped hte hole he was executed... That's when he decided to haunt me....." she said quietly

Korvil shivered. "I have no pity for him... Tell me he suffers..."

"I saw him just before we saw you today, he's hanging upside down on a wooden cross like thing with Ravens pecking at him" she said looking at hte floor

Korvil grinned. "The tower..."

"The tower?" Ala looked at him with a raised brow, she's heard of so many 'tower' names to keep them all straight

Torvil sighed. "Its just the tower love..."

Ala nodded slowly

Korvil nodded grimly. "Not the nicest way to die... Or exist..."

"I don't even want to fathom what he had in mind for me if I hadn't blown him against the wall" she wrapped her arms around herself

Korvil frowned. "He probably would have held you hostage..."

"Thank goodness for this then" she let her eyes shift green and held a hand up opening to show a small green ball of which she had complete control of

Korvil whistled.

Ala nodded "I sent two of those at him" she decided to make a good use of the energy and created a water ball and brought them together , when she was done her eyes shifted back and she tossed the crystal to her husband

Torvil caught it and tossed it on the table. He smiled. "That's two... you spoil me..."

Korvil stared at it... He seemed to be mouthing the word. 'Shiny'

Ala laughed "I've made many more then that love" she caught a look at the word Korvil mouthed "Yep shiny, made the first one after Mikiri and Malkar both showed great interested in my gem" she said pushing her bangs aside

Torvil chuckled. "But you've only given me two..." He stuck his tongue out at her."

Korvil nodded. "I should be off... I feel Torvil growing weaker by the moment..."

"I am not..."

Korvil glared at him.

"Yes father..."

Ala stuck her tongue back out at Torvil "Two for you Two for Mikiri and Malkar, One for Torvin the rest are... erm... hidden" she blushed lightly she hadn't told him she'd don't that "I can see the spirits just as Torvil can so uhm feel free to visit again when appropriate" she told Korvil with a nod

Korvil nodded with a smiled and vanished.

Torvil was looking at her with a small smile on his lips.

Ala looked at him "What's that look for?" she blushed lightly

Torvil got up and nuzzled her softly. "You're hording things..." He smirked.

Ala blushed more and folded her wings back in "Is that ... erm.. bad?"

Torvil moved his mouth to her ear and nipped lightly. "If by bad you mean unbelievably sexy then yes..."

Ala blushed and kissed his cheek then headed for their room

Torvil purred and followed her, leaving the gem on the table.

Ala reached their room before he did and was on her hands and knees beside the bed pushing at something to make it slide out the other side

Torvil chuckled and sat down on the bed.

Ala looked up at him with a blush "You gonna look?" she asked motioning at the other side of the bed where a box was pushing at the blankets, it was one from in the shop that had held toques and scarves

Torvil smiled and crawled over, picking it up and putting it on the bed. He opened it.

Ala didn't move as he looked, the box was 2/3 full of water crystals among a couple other little things

Torvil purred and put it back under the bed. He walked over to her and pulled her into a kiss.

Ala returned the kiss fidgeting slightly with her robe as she kissed

Torvil broke away and sad down on the bed, purring.

Ala got up she looked at him and blushed a bit then got rid of her robe beside climbing on the bed with him

Torvil cast off his towel and pulled her down with him, pulling her close to him as he tossed the covers over them.

Ala cuddled close "I hadn't told you, wasn't sure what you would think" she mumbled

Torvil smiled. "Before the baby, we wouldn't be cuddling..." He nuzzled her face. "Hording makes you very, very hot..."

Ala blinked "it does?" that confused her

Torvil chuckled, and shivered. "Don't you feel that compulsive need to pick up the shiny things and put them in the box..." He quivered. "It's like, one of the ultimate dragon turn ons..."

Ala nodded biting her lip "I don't do it much around the house too many things go missing if I did... like utensils" she blushed

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah, those are hard to resist..." He nuzzled her. "I almost took the silverware from the restaurant..."

Ala giggled "So I did things that wouldn't be noticed, like water crystals" she said

Torvil nodded and cuddled with her. "Once we have the baby, we'll go on a hording spree... "

Ala laughed and nuzzled him

Torvil purred his eyes slowly closing. soon he was off in dreamland.

Ala smiled and reached up turning off the light then cuddled up against him and closed her eyes

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

I think I might sleep all right tonight, and boy do I need it, so does bump, I can't say staying awake has been a good thing for the lil one. I fell asleep part way through a visit with my daughter, I kinda feel bad for that but I just couldn't hold out any longer. It also seems Torvil's dad has changed, thats a load of stress off the shoulders... stress can't be good for bump either. *sigh* why do I have to have such a crazy life somtimes? I revealed to Torvil I have a small horde today, quite by accident, but oh well.... Well diary Bump and I REALLY need sleep so I'm going to sleep now

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

I think I've rested Ala's fears... I'm hoping Asmodeus takes care of him soon... On a lighter note, Dad's pretty much come full around... I'll be bringing him back soon... That is, as soon as I can tell Mom, and get Asmodeus to help me channel... Dad's been gone for awhile... Oh! Ala's got a horde... Hehe... Great... I'm purring my head off now...

Ala & Torvil visit the cliffs

Ala slept much better that night and honestly slept longer then Torvil

Torvil had rolled out of bed early, and had started making breakfast.

Ala woke with a groan and crawled out of bed ambling to their bathroom and pushing the door to it mostly closed

Torvil finished making it and set out two plates, He had made something that would fill Ala up, but be light on her tummy... Oatmeal.

Ala wandered into the kitchen a short time later grumbling and wrapping her robe around herself

Torvil looked up at her from his half empty bowl. "Not good?"

"Losing one's lunch when there's nothing in there to lose is never good" she said with a sigh as she sat down

Torvil nodded. "Well eat..." He pointed at the bowl of oatmeal that was made to her liking, or at least, what she had told him was.

"Thanks love" she said turning to her food and starting to eat

Torvil nodded and finished his off rather quickly.

Ala finished as much as she was going to eat and pushed the bowl away "So what is on our agenda today?" she asked him

Torvil tapped his chin. "I really don't know... I'm saving raising father till this weekend... "

"Perhaps we should consider going and warning your mother then?" she said knowing that weekend really wasn't all that far away

Torvil nodded. "Yes... We should.."

"I however am not going without a sleeve of crackers in my pocket" she gave him a wry smile

Torvil chuckled. "Take a couple, its a long flight..."

Ala laughed "Ok I'll take a couple." she leaned on the table "When do we want to do this?"

"Soon, it's a long flight..."

"All right let me go get dressed and we can go" she said with a nod heading for their room to find comfortable clothing

Torvil purred. "Alright..." He was already dressed so he waited.

Ala returned a short time later wearing pants and a loose top that did absolutely nothing to hide the fact she was pregnant. she had a pouch hanging over her shoulder and proceeded to fill it with 2 or 3 sleeves of crackers

Torvil purred and walked over to her, nipping her ear. "Sexy..."

Ala giggled "You seem to think everything I do is sexy... even my little collection"

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled her. "That's because you ooze sexy out of every pore..."

Ala chuckled and turned around to face him "I don't think I'm all that sexy, especially being fat"

Torvil quirked a brow. "Fat?" He ran a hand across her belly. "That's not fat... That's life..." He purred, nuzzling her ear. "A life you and I created together..."

Ala smiled softly, "Yeah it is a life, I'm just not my skinny self anymore"

Torvil purred. "You're sexy either way..."

Ala chuckled and leaned up giving him a kiss

Torvil purred, leaning into the kiss. "Now come..."

Ala chuckled softly deepening the kiss

Torvil purred happily and swept her up into his arms, still kissing her as he started to walk forwards.

Ala broke the kiss and looked at him "You carrying me the whole way there?"

Torvil smiled. "Only if you want me to..."

Ala chuckled "I can't fly the whole way, but perhaps I can fly from 'the tree' so I don't look like an invalid"

Torvil chuckled and nodded, nuzzling her softly and taking to the air once they hit outside.

Ala munched on her crackers as he flew, she watched her surroundings change as they got closer and closer to the cliffs

Torvil landed on the tree a bit later and put her down on the branch.

Ala balanced herself beside him, last time she stood on a tree branch she wasn't quite so large in the belly

Torvil smiled and held her steady.

Ala let her wings loose which helped her balance and smiled at Torvil giving him a nod

Torvil nodded and took to the air.

Ala took to the air after him smiling as she flew

Torvil landed in the center of the cliffs and smiled, seeing the hustle and bustle.

Ala landed right beside him looking around "Well seems pretty busy around here today" she mused

Torvil nodded purring. He took her hand and started leading her towards his mother's home.

Ala walked with him, she vaguely remembered where it was from their last visit

They made it about half way before Torvil pushed her into a rocky crevice.

Ala blinked startled at the pushed

Torvil purred, entering it with her, it was large enough to fit the two comfortably. "Mmmmhmmm perfect..." He nuzzled her ear.

Ala raised a brow "Uhm what are we doing?" she asked

Torvil purred. "Well..." He smirked. "I've kinda got an issue..." He brushed his lower body against her back softly.

"And what is that issue love?" she asked

Torvil chuckled. "I don't know... Perhaps the fact that my wife is beyond sexy and has attracted me..." He growled softly, seductively.

Ala chuckled "In other words the urge has hit you" she purred softly and looked at him

Torvil nodded very slowly.

Ala chuckled "And what do you intend to do about that since your mate is rather pregnant" she said


*TIME PASSES*

Torvil panted and relaxed, there came a giggle from the entrance of the crevice. He blanched.

Ala shook her head she had a feeling they'd be found in that crevice. She closed her eyes not looking towards it's entrance

Torvil blushed. "Well I thought it was safe..."

Ala laughed "I know" she said brushing her hand along his cheek

Torvil purred and took her hand. "Sides... Least it was just..." He blushed more. "Kids..."

Ala chuckled "Lets get moving before that kid brings more kids"

Torvil chuckled and quickly pulled her out of the crevice, only to find that the were surrounded.

"That's them! That's them!"

Ala sighed and wrapped her wings around herself

Torvil smiled softly, and pulled them through the mob.

"Torvil stop" she said feeling too crowded a feeling she didn't like cause it made her feel nauseous. spreading her wings a bit she pulled her hand from his and lifted up over the mob landing on the ground past them slowly walking towards his mother's place, she walked not too fast that he couldn't catch up

Torvil did the same shortly after ward, his hand brushed her hair lightly as he walked beside her. "I should have controlled myself and waited... I'm sorry..."

"It's all right love, it's more finding a lil more private place, perhaps a lil more soundproofed too" she said taking his hand again

Torvil nodded and entered his mother's house. "Mom I'm..."

Mitizimi had her arms crossed and was tapping her foot.

"Uh-oh..."

Ala stopped looking between the two of them

Mitizimi cleared her throat. "And what possessed you, pray tell, to use my rummage dump as a bedroom?"

Torvil blushed.

Ala looked away and at the floor

Mitizimi sighed. "Well no harm done... Though I do wish to know how you did it... Your wife is pregnant and all..."

Ala mumbled something incoherent to the naked ear turning a pretty shade of red

Mitizimi smirked. "Ah I see... I assume there is a reason for you visit..."

"I'm bringing dad back..." Torvil blurted.

Mitizimi froze.

Ala nodded "figured so you didn't have a heart attack seeing him we better warn you" she said looking back towards her mother in law

Mitizimi wiped her eye. "I see..." She said softly. "Thank you son..." She sat down in a chair and kept wiping her eyes.

Ala pulled her hand from Torvil's and walked towards Mitizimi "He's changed, you should probably know that as well, his whole attitude has changed...." she said softly

Mitizimi shook her head. "That's not it... Korvil was always.... Kind..." She sniffled. "I miss him so much... And now that he's coming back..." She stood and looked down at herself. "Ugh... I've let myself go... I've got to get back into shape..."

Ala chuckled lightly "Mom, I don't think that will matter, he loves you just the way you are I'm sure."

Mitizimi blushed. "But... But... I wasn't this heavy before..." She frowned and looked down at her still firm belly. "I've gained lord knows how many pounds...

Ala giggled "You look good to me, if anyone looks like they've gained weight it's me" she said pushing her shirt against herself and looking at the bulge that protruded

Mitizimi smiled. "Oh, but you're pretty pregnant... I however end up looking like a bloated cow.." she frowned.

Ala poked her firm belly "You don't look bloated to me."

Mitizimi blushed and sat back down. "Come... Lets have lunch, I'm sure you're hungry after exerting so much energy..."

Ala blushed lightly "Yeah I'm hungry, I eat small meals all through out the day" she told Mitizimi

Mitizimi smiled and got up, moving about and getting stuff ready.

Torvil smiled at Ala.

Ala looked back to Torvil and smiled softly

Torvil walked over to her and gave her a hug.

Ala returned his hug "Shall we follow her?" she motioned towards the kitchen

Torvil nodded, heading for the kitchen

Ala walked with him glad that it seemed Torvil was a bit more comfortable in his mother's home

"Mom! Mom! Little Jokar just told me there were two people having...." Mikiri burst in and stopped, looking at Ala and Torvil. She tilted her head, and smirked. "Never mind..."

Ala stared at Mikiri for a moment then couldn't help herself as she burst out laughing

Mikiri joined in the laughter as well, and wiped an eye. "You two are crazy you know that?"

Ala slowly stopped laughing "Blame my horny husband" she jut a thumb in his direction "I wouldn't mind being normal crazy but I'm rather unable right now" she said patting her belly

Mikiri giggled. "Well I can't say I blame him... Malkar come at me at the worst times sometimes... I enjoy it though..." She smirked.

Ala laughed again "Have you gotten caught?"

Mikiri smirked. "Your daughter has once actually..." She giggled. "She was quite displeased..."

Ala laughed "she wasn't pleased if we forgot to close our door either, she'd come and slam it closed"

Mikiri giggled. "She needs to get herself a male..." She smiled softly. "She and Rhazar don't do anything but talk..."

Ala gave her husband a knowing look on that one before glancing back to Mikiri, "She almost did once, but it didn't.... work out"

Mikiri nodded slowly. "I see... Well..." She tapped her chin. "I know a few free males... Perhaps I could hook her up..."

Ala chuckled "She may or may not appreciate that, hard to say unless one tries"

Mikiri nodded. "Well I better get going... Malkar wanted me back in ten..."

Ala chuckled "Later Mikiri, next time we see you your dad will probably be back" she said

Mikiri blinked. "You're brining dad back?" She shook her head, nodded, and ran off.

"Ok she seemed indecisive about that" Ala said with a shrug and continued into the kitchen

Torvil hugged her close, and Mitizimi was laying out large plates of a pasta like dish.

Ala saw the size of the portions and looked at Torvil, she really hated to be rude to his mother since she was kind enough to offer a meal

Torvil smiled. "She'll under stand..." He whispered. "Mom... Ala doesn't eat that much, tone her plate..." Mitizimi grabbed what was obviously Ala's plate and slid a good portion of it onto Torvil's.

"Thanks" Ala said softly "I ... lose it... if I eat too much at once" looking back to Mitizimi

Mitizimi smiled. "It's okay dear.." She patted the table for them to join her.

Ala smiled and moved to the table sitting the same way she did last time they were there

Torvil sat and started to eat. He blinked. "This tastes a little different..."

"Better ingredients dear..." Mitizimi smiled.

Ala raised a brow curious of that but ate anyways

Torvil ate purring, he polished off his plate easily, purring contently.

Ala ate till she reached the point where she had been recently stopping

Torvil took what was left and polished it.

Mitizimi had not touched hers and pushed her plate to him to. "Oh dear... Seems I left the drinks in the other room..." She got up and went into the kitchen.

Ala was curious why she'd not eaten. She nodded as Mitizimi left for the kitchen

Torvil polished it off, and started to unbutton his shirt... He was feeling a little... warm.

Ala blinked "You ok love?" she asked him

Torvil nodded. "Yeah..." His eyes took on a sort of preditorish gleam... He crawled towards her, purring seductively.

"Not here love" she said having a feeling it might be a pointless effort to try to stop him

Torvil frowned. "Why not?" He shook his head. "Cause it's mom's table..."

"Why not... cause it's not the good place to do it" she said quietly

Mitizimi stuck her head in. "Why don't you two lie down and rest... Bedrooms in the back...." She had a faint smile on her lips. "I'm heading out for an hour, seems I'm going to have to buy us some drinks... I'm all out..."

Ala stared at her, as she left. Then back at the ever-approaching Torvil "Uhm..."

"That sounds like a good idea..." He purred, taking her hand when he reached her.

"You sure you are ok?" she asked him biting her lip

Torvil nodded and his hand brushed her hair. "I'm fine... A bit jittery, uppity, and a lot more horny than I've been in a long while, but I'm fine..."

Ala glanced at the empty plates on the table thinking about how much she'd eaten, then realized thinking about that probably wasn't such a good idea and closed her eyes

Torvil brushed her hair. "Come, lets lay you down, you can at least rest... For bump..." His eyes cast about the kitchen for a moment, then he picked her up and jumped off the table, landing perfectly fine and started walking towards the bed room. He had a slight smirk on his face.

Ala sighed and nodded "For bump and my stomach" she mumbled

Torvil nodded and brushed her hair. "Mother put red-oysters in the food..."

"K....." she said opening her eyes and looking at him

"That explains why I was ready to pounce ya..." He said softly. "Seems mother has a wicked sense of humor... Red-oysters are the highest aphrodisiacal substance known to DLs..."

Ala nodded "I don't suppose any Dragonic has ever eaten them while pregnant huh"

Torvil chuckled. "Not really..." He purred. "But they shouldn't hurt bump... Mum wouldn't risk a grandchild..."

"I'm not entirely sure if bump liked them or not" she said having had her hand on her stomach as he carried her

Torvil nodded, and lay her down on the bed, brushing her hair. He was fine... Well hornier than a cat at the apex of heat... But fine... He could curb his sexual drive... Most of the time...

"What this child is doing is seriously not settling my stomach" she grumbled

Torvil hugged her close to him and rubbed her tummy. He closed his eyes and hummed.

Ala relaxed against him, true she was feeling nudges from her own urges, but her stomach and the rapidly moving child in her belly were also seriously keeping her mind off it

Torvil lay there, knowing that nothing was going to come of this little foray save Ala sicking up or sleeping.

Ala looked at him "I think it spun this child up like a top" she said snuggling up against him trying to fight the urge to lose her food

Torvil nodded softly and brushed her hair. "I can get you to the bathroom if you need it... It's not impressive though..."

"I'm doing my best not to need it" She said cuddling up next to him her hand resting on his side

Torvil nodded and brushed her hair, and kissed her forehead. "I'll ask mother to avoid doing that next time..."

Ala nodded and purred softly letting her wings fold in as she looked up at him

Torvil smiled softly and nuzzled her forehead softly, trying to hold back as much of the urge as possible.

Ala's hand slid slowly up his side towards his shoulder

Torvil purred lightly.

Ala closed her eyes and let her hand slide over his shoulder to his back brushing lightly against the nodes there

Torvil shivered. "Are you sure you want to do that love... My control is slipping..."

"I didn't eat as much as you did, but I'm still feeling it" she murmured "It's just mixed with a moving child that keeps hitting my stomach"

Torvil nodded, and put his hand on bump, rubbing softly in a vain attempt to calm it down, or attack the hand.

Bump slowly did calm down changing targets to his hand which relieved Ala as she cuddled him her hand still but still hovering right next to his nodes

Torvil smiled and beamed with pride. "Bump sure is going to be strong..." He chuckled. But then, that was to be expected. His father came from dragon stock, and though he did not look it, he had a dragons strength. He held most of it in reserve, and used extreme self control to keep from hurting anyone seriously. He'd only once in his life used his full force... And that had been a long time ago.

Ala nodded and purred against him her stomach settling. She shifted positions just a little and her hand brushed his node again

Torvil purred happily and kept stroking her belly with his hand.

After a time it seemed bump wore themselves out as they stopped all together

Torvil smiled and moved his hand from her belly, pulling her close.

Ala purred her hand sliding up to his hair where it entwined as she tipped her head up to kiss him

Torvil purred and met her kiss.

Ala pulled his head a little closer as she deepened the kiss

*TIME PASSES*

Footsteps, and then, Mitizimi's voice not too far off. "Kids I'm home..." She popped her head into the room. "Tooo early havetoskitteroffforgotsomethingbebackinabitbye!" The sound of running.

*TIME PASSES*


Ala groaned as bump seemed to have woken up who took a swift kick at her stomach... and him

Torvil smirked and moved his arm down to start rubbing her tummy again, to attract bump.

"Torvil... I'm gonna lose it" she said sounding as if to be holding something back

Torvil nodded and quickly lifted her up, carrying her towards the bathroom.

As he picked her up her arms wrapped around her gut

Torvil put her down near the hole in the floor.

Ala really didn't care what it was as she lost her lunch into what would be considered their toilet

Torvil brushed her hair.

Ala straightened and leaned against him "Ok that tasted better the first time" she grumbled

Torvil nodded softly and nuzzled her hair. "I'm sure... Any clue when this will stop?"

Ala shook her head "different for each woman... there was one lady at the clinic one day who couldn't keep ANYTHING down even for a short period of time"

Torvil nodded slowly. "I see..."

Ala nodded "Lets get outta this room, it's not helping matters"

Torvil nodded and picked her up again.

Ala relaxed against him closing her eyes

Torvil walked her back into the bedroom and lay her down.

"Thanks love" she said softly

Torvil smiled. "Anytime love..."

Ala nodded and rested a hand on her belly

"How's bump..." He asked softly.

"Awake" she replied with a small sigh

Torvil nuzzled her. "You say that like it's a bad thing..." He put his hands on her belly.

"It is in the aspect that they made me throw up, which kinda killed the mood, least for me, I certainly didn't eat as much of that meal as you did. "

Torvil nodded and stroked her hair. "We're staying here for tonight... I don't think we've stayed long enough..."

Ala nodded "Ok... " she looked at him with a soft smile

Torvil brushed her hair.

Ala smiled softly and then closed her eyes with a small yawn. "Guess we should get some sleep, we'll have those drinks with your mom later" she murmured as she started to doze

Torvil chuckled and dozed off with her... It was warm enough not to need covers.

Ala cuddled as she completely fell asleep

Torvil joined her in rest.

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Well I found out that while red oysters send me on sexual craving overdrive they wind up my unborn child like you wouldn't believe. I've never felt the child move that much before. It seriously did not help my stomach though... Diary... remind me not to do something that would give my mother-in-law reason to use her sense of humor again...
