Welcome to Gaia! ::

"hmm, either way I won't stand for it Jay" Aiden said, kissing Jay on the cheek as he got out to get the pram and bags out of the car boot.

Jay got out and took Alexis out of her seat, cradling her to his chest as he gazed adoringly down at her. Aiden smiled as he carried everything into the house, he adored Jay and Nishi, nearly all of the Merlin's outside of the sanctuary adored Jay as he was so very fragile in reality. He was grown up and calmer but he still had a weak chest.

"c'mon Uncle Aiden you can spend some time with your new neice and nephew" he said happily as soon as the car was unpacked and everyone was inside. Aiden grinned and gently took Alexis from his brother and cradled her.
"they're great" he commented.

"Raven are you okay?" Jay asked, noticing the way she held her back. He walked over and took Joshua from her. He sat her down on the couch after placing the sleeping Joshua in his moses basket and sat down with her letting her head rest in his lap.

"take it easy Raven-love you shouldn't strain yourself, you've just given birth" he commented softly, stroking a hand through her hair. Aiden smiled at the sight, so Nishi was right, Jay was in love with Raven aswell.

Aiden shook his head and looked down at his new niece who was deeply asleep.
"nothing too much, just what Nishi said was true Jay..."

"what'd he say?" Jay asked curiously, his face growing red. Aiden chuckled quietly and put Alexis in his crib.
"oh that you're in love with two people now" he commented, picking his keys up from the kitchen counter. He smiled and bading them goodbye, left.

Jay was blushing furiously, thinking of ways to get back at Nishi.

Jay avoided Raven's eye, it was all he could think of doing right now, he was so embarrassed.

"i-i'm sorry..." he whispered, she probably didn't want him to love her, and he he persuaded himself that that was it. He stood and checked on the twins, before he got started on dinner.

He didn't need that to be pulled out into the open, he really didn't, he was scared about becoming Asher's servant, not because of what it led to--of coarse he would miss his parents and friends--but because he was uncertain, he was hesitating and he had no idea why. He had children and a family, he should have accelerated.

He started to boil water as he took Noodles from a packet in the cupboards, dumping them in an empty wok he put miso paste in the pan--a food he had long craved-- and got to work on making a stir-fry for Raven and himself.

Jay was stirring rice noodles and tofu into the miso soup, quietly observing the murky liquid as he thought. He noticed Raven come into the kitchen, and felt bad for leaving her in such a state. When he felt her hug him from behind, her warmth against his back he let a sigh out and rested the stirring spoon against the pot.

"yeah I guess, but...I didn't want you to know...I mean..I wasn't sure of what to do...I just...don't know anything about myself anymore....but maybe it'll all clear when Asher takes me as his Human Servant.." Jay said unsteadily, his bangs falling across his vision as he stared at the simmering food.

"but I do love you, an awful lot...I just needed to get that off my chest" he said softly, a small,relaxed smile on his face. It was almost relieved.

Jay sighed a little, and stirred the contents of the wok to prevent it burning.
"but i'm so much trouble..." he said softly, one of his hands moving to cover Raven's. He wasn't phyiscally attracted to Raven, not like he was with Asher.

He just loved her for her, because of who she was.

"yeah, at least Ru can't hurt me anymore..." he commented softly, a small smile flickering across his face at the rememberance of what happened last night. "..and we have Alexis and Joshua"

Jay dumped the sauce in the stir-fry as he dished up a bowl of miso soup for himself, he wasn't sure if raven would like it. He chuckled and kissed Raven's cheek in return.

"and I love you...in a different way then Asher, I love you with everything..I just don't want to fornicate that love...." he whispered, dishing the stir-fry up.

Jay turnt the cooker off and turning around, gathered Raven into an embrace, leaning back against the counter as he kissed her on the cheek. Merethist murred from under the table, having spent the night at Aiden's with Dyvim and JUlie.

"you don't have to do anything about this you know, I can try and get over it"he whispered softly, kissing her on the cheek.
