“Castle Charmeine” premier snippet from “ACCENDO” the Third Novel from “The Light-Bearer Series”

When Charmeine rescued Tabbruis from Hell, he had lost her for thousands of years. However, he never remembered Charmeine or their Son, Shane, when he woke up in the middle-east desert.
Tabbruis thought, ‘It has to be a blessing, I did not remember them. I would have been searching millennia for my family but they were not on the Earth yet.’
Nevertheless, the loneliness he experienced was painful even now as he thought about it. Since he woke up in the desert alone thousands of years ago, the loneliness engulfed him.
Tabbruis became scared because he had so much love in his life now. Charmeine and his family was his lifeline, his heartbeat, his everything. He needed both Charmeine and his family, especially ‘Baby Hunter,’ as she liked to call the baby.
When Charmeine told Tabbruis about the baby, he was so happy he thought his heart would explode.
So many moments of happiness had happened to him since Charmeine came into his life. His heart began to beat when he saw her face above his in the Jones Beach parking lot.
His passion burned and never had been extinguished since their wedding night when he gave himself to the only woman he wanted on the Earth. Tabbruis’ faith in God was renewed when he saw Charmeine in Heaven come back to be with him and their family.
Now, his contentment thrived in Charmeine’s womb ready to be born in a few months. Tabbruis thanked God for the comfort and love Charmeine gave him in Heaven and on the Earth.
Wanting to be a good husband and father, Tabbruis was reading books all about the stages of pregnancy. He took care of Charmeine as much as possible. However, she did not like being coddled. Tabbruis knew Charmeine put up with it just because of Baby Hunter.
Laura said, at the last ultrasound of Charmeine, Baby Hunter was starting its third trimester. Tabbruis had wanted to see if Laura could tell the sex of the baby. However, Charmeine, either from superstition or just to be surprised when the baby was born, did not want to know. Charmeine just wanted Baby Hunter to be healthy.
Tabbruis and everyone in the house were on 24 hour baby patrol.

Tabbruis and Charmeine
“Castle Charmeine”

In between weddings, all the men of the house, Tabbruis, Shane, Neal, Hameal, Dmitri, Thomas, and even young Percival had wanted to make the baby furniture and design editions to Castle Charmeine by hand.
Hameal was a builder and saw to it Castle Charmeine was transformed into a baby proof home. He was also adding editions for the baby. All the men had managed to build and transform the room next to Tabbruis and Charmeine into the perfect nursery.
Laura and Sandra were busy with the Hospital and preparing it for every contingency even with a sterile operating room.
The Hospital came in handy when Percival hammered his thumb instead the head of the nail crushing his bone. Laura and Sandra fixed him up but Dmitri gave him some blood and he was fine in a few days.
Sandra, Laura, Hera and young Athena were in shopping mode. They were making bi-weekly trips to Bucharest in between weddings for everything Baby Hunter would need.
Laura was glad Charmeine’s travel and flight time was over, she was skeptical of any woman flying in the third trimester.
Tabbruis was just glad the family was back at home with Charmeine and Baby Hunter in his arms safe and secure. He bent down to kiss Charmeine on the head. More content than he ever thought he could be.

It seemed Castle Charmeine was the happiest place on Earth…

*****
It was about 3:00 a.m. when the perimeter alarms went off.
Tabbruis and Charmeine awoke with a start.
Tabbruis used his blood-hunter senses to make sure everyone in the house was okay. Charmeine looked at him with trepidation.
Tabbruis got out of bed, turned on the lights, dressed and was on his cell with Dmitri just as Charmeine was able to roll herself out bed. He handed Charmeine a sweater and yoga pants.
Tabbruis said, “We need to get to Dmitri’s study. All the surveillance equipment is there.”
