By the time we wobbled back it was midday and the sun was at it's highest.
We been shameless for so long the best our family had is a few pointed looks and a few jealous ones namely from Cintia and her wife.
" Bleghh.."
I walked passed like a lady but acted like a child.
But their huffed up expression was worth it. If they only knew about Zephyr's fantasies..
Talking about him..
He was a very satisfied after his many, many demands were fulfilled by a dutiful maid.
" Something smells incredibly...is that our family recipe? " - he pointed the massive amount of pasta in water and red sauce bubbling on the fire next to it.
" You mean Marcus family rec..
" Shut up Em.." - he said passing him by.
Carlos took the chance explain the story of his own family recipes to the only one who actually listened..mother.
She must've heard them all before but just smiled along occasionally patted his head, sometimes to calm him, other times to praise him.
The boys fighting ended and Zephyr joined them near the ale. Moritz held his ankle and granny was tending too it with Petra disproving eyes hovering over them.
" What happened here? " - I asked.
" He twisted his ankle..the idiot. " - Petra slapped his head a little.
" I'm sorry...but, I need the training darling .." - Moritz looked up in the sky and smiled.
" .. I want to place at the top so at least achieve decent results, not to shame our family..."
Petra looked exhausted and told me. " He just don't wanna place behind his little brother.."
" Lucian has the same fear.." - Eli interjected leaving Demelza alone with the Revel brothers.
" What do you mean? He doesn't have younger siblings. " - I said.
She took a seat near granny as she finished up wrapping Moritz ankle.
" It's not that he has any ...he just terrified not placing in the top three.." - she looked at the man in question finishing a large flagon of ale. " Zephyr has great confidence in him..and Lucian don't wanna let him down. "
" I wonder who they going to partner for the doubles? Zephyr said it can't be amongst us.." - I asked.
" I think he is being fair. " - the ever silent Fipna spoke up from the right. " Imagine how would it look if ..Lucian and Alexander doubled up. "
He was right.
Some people had more experience and known each other far longer, better, we have a large amount of new people still settling in the village. It just wouldn't be fair.
" I'm intrigued about the war simulation..a giant free for all.." - Saam extended his hand as if he wanted to embraced someone.
" Capturing others, take them hostage for ransom..sounds exciting. "
" Will arrows be allowed? " - Asked Demelza.
" I doubt it..or other weapons. He didn't make a games with swords and such either. Have to be hand to hand as well. " - I answered.
" Come get some food! " - Carlos waived around calling the boys over.
Mother was keep checking her looks in the water surface.
I walked behind her. " You like it, huh? " - I asked with a smile.
She looked like she was ready to deny it but changed her mind. " I think, I do...It's new. Did you get used to yours. "
She looked up at my wayward hair still showing signs of the excellent sex we just had.
" I did.. but might change it..Nifa is always available. " - I said.
The others arrived and we soon enjoyed the pasta with sauce and a bucket full of cheese.
" Dad..can we play, after we ate? " - Anna pointed up indicated what kind of playing she wanted.
" A little later princess.." - he had red tomato sauce around his face. " We don't want another accident do we? "
" No.." - she said a little dejected.
Oh right .. the accident.
In her defence, again..throwing up mid air..well let's just say it's nasty business for all involved.
" Petra dear, have you two talked about baby names? " - Mother turned and asked her.
She and Moritz shared some looks.
" Well..if it's a girl we were thinking Amanda..after my own mother. " - she said, smiled brightly.
" That's very nice of you darling. " - Granny reached over and caressed her hair.
" And if it's a boy? " - mother asked the second part.
" We're lost on that area.." - she shook her head in tandem with Moritz. " We take suggestions.."
People had ideas.
" What about Xander? It's like Alexander but not.." - said Alexander looking around for support.
" That's nonsense...how about Luciano? " - Lucian just offered his own name with an O at the end.
" Stop suggesting your own names. Akon? Or, Midas, I think it sounds good. " - Demelza gave two actual candidates.
Petra tasted some of the names while Moritz sat on the edge of his seat. Looks like she was the final decision maker.
Hearing them talking about it made me wonder about our boys name.
It's hard..he has to live with it forever.
" What about Blaze? " - Zephyr voice cut through the murmurs.
" Hmm..Blaze..Blaze Emil.." - her smiled spread as she asked her belly. " Blaze? Ohohoh! "
She suddenly jumped a little spilling her tea.
" He kicked! " - she said with a astonished smile.
We all surrounded her putting our hands on her baby bump.
I felt it!!
It was so light..but also strong in a way.
"""" HEEEY..""""
" I think it's a he.." - she smiled at her husband. " It's Blaze..thank you Zephyr. "
She walked over and gave him a big hug then Moritz hugged them both.
"""" AWWW..""""
" Well it's still 50/50. " - granny reminded us as we all sat back down. " I remember a story from my own mother about a women who could tell these sorts of things. "
" Like Viela does, mom? " - my own mother asked her.
" Well..something like that. She was able tell the gender, the day he or she will born and even details like hair, and eye colour. " - she finished and her smile disappeared. " ..she could also tell if a mother was in danger. "
Imagine having the power to see..and then tell them, they might die on the day that's supposed to be one of their happiest in their lifes.
" But.." - she grabbed Petra who was the most affected by her words. " We all be beside you..it's only two more months. Little Blaze here will be born into a happy world, safe and secure. I promise. "
Two more months..where we will all be then?
