McKensie and Lara III
Iliana smiled softly, looking down at her baby girl. "Mila." She said immediately, stroking the head of the now sleeping baby fox. "They are so adorable." She breathed. "What will the staff say about foxes though?" She asked, worried. "And any guests? What if we can't train them?"James smiled, kissing her cheek. "You don't have to do that! I'd offer to cook for you, but I have no idea how." he admitted, shaking his head. "Are you sure you want to be cooking for us?" He asked, not wanting to tire her out.
Marcoux looked up "we can take them to our new place...I'm the one in charge and the foxes can roam free. We just have to make sure that the dogs don't scare them." He smiled as Mila started to climb up under her hair and hide there "they're twins..."Lydia smiled "it's our special night baby, I love cooking and I love you therefore I'm happier then I could be." She said honestly and nuzzled him lovingly "I love you..."
Iliana smiled, thrilled by that idea. "They're part dog, aren't they? If they grow up with the dogs, maybe they'll make some friends." She suggested, giggling as the small fox's claws tickled and scratched her skin as it crawled up into her hair. "They look alike." She agreed. "And they're so tiny!"James smiled softly, happy to have a girl that loved him so much. "Alright. Well in that case… can I say that we have crepes for dessert? And you can pick the supper?" He suggested, hopeful. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I love you too."
Marcoux chuckled and smiled as he held onto Shiloh and smiled at Illiana "she likes you a lot Illi...she's all happy and bouncy." He teased as Shiloh watched curiously and nipped at Marcoux's fingers.Lydia smiled at him "spinach puffs and crepes for desert sounds perfect, and it's the same dough! Alright you wait here my handsome guy!"
Iliana giggled, her heart warming at the thought that something so wild and so tiny could love a big strange human. She pulled it down gently from her hair and stroked the small thing, watching as it sniffed around the room. She set her on the floor, and smiled. "Go explore, Mila." she encouraged as the fox took a couple wobbly steps. James grinned, his stomach growling on cue. "Oh my. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to wait…" He said, sitting at their table and folding his hands as he waiting for her to finish up the meal. He could only feel lucky that his love was the best cook this side of… well. anywhere!
Marcoux watched the baby fox walk around and couldn't help being proud "look at her she's so perfect..." Shiloh bounced after his sister yipping and tackling Mila.Lydia smiled and cooked it up as she presented to him "careful it's hot baby..." She smiled and sat by him taking off her apron and smiling "baby...don't worry...if it burns you I'll kiss you better."
Iliana laughed as she watched the two fox kits tumble and play with each other. Mila bit at Shiloh's ear, and Iliana shook her head. "Ah… sibling love." she reached over and squeezed Marcoux's hand. "Thanks for convincing me to come hunting. James sat straight in his chair when she entered and he clasped his hands in front of him, trying to be very official looking as he took a towel and wrapped it around his hand as he pulled the lid off. Beautiful smelling steam immediately hit him and he grinned. "Looks lovely, baby. Let's eat!" He put the lid to the side and started cutting portions for them. He smirked. "Can you kiss me better even if I don't burn myself?" he asked hopefully. "I already have burns all over my face."
Marcoux smiled "thanks for convincing me to keep the kits....I think they are perfect for us, they are the kids now...our kids, right? We have to discipline them and love them...teach them right and wrong."Lydia smiled "yeah but I don't suck your burns on your face, I want to suck your tongue burns though..." She looked up to see her mother "food mother? I thought you would be with your parliament man..."
Iliana nodded in agreement, watching as the two fell asleep together on the hay. "Yes." She agreed. "Yes. They are our two little fox kits, and they'll probably be very well behaved once we have trained them. They will make perfect kids." She said, resting her head on his shoulder. "And I'm already in love with them."James chuckled, nodding. He quieted when the queen walked in, and pretending to busy himself with eating.
The queen smiled a soft smile. "I came to congratulate you on a wonderful proclamation." She said, patting her daughter's hand. "I'll pass on the food though."
Marcoux smiled and kissed her gently as he watched their kids "hey will you marry me sooner then next year...like say move in to our mansion with our kits and have a private marriage ok?" He offered and smiled at her "I want to be with you now..."Lydia smiled at her mother "thank you, but please have some...unless your gentleman caller would like food? I made pleanty of extras...and there is chocolate and hazelnut mixture in the crepes."
Iliana smiled then, thrilled by that offer. "I would love that, Marcoux." She said honestly. She couldn't think of something sweeter than having a private marriage and moving in with him. "When can we move?" She asked softly, speaking quieter now that the kits were asleep. The queen laughed softly and shook her head. "No that's quite alright. You both enjoy what looks like a lovely dinner." Her smile widened a little. "My 'gentleman' and I have a supper already laid out for us." she promised.
Marcoux gently wrapped them both back in the scarf and created a sling around his neck so he could cradle them and walk still. "Soon as possible." He whispered back and smiled lovingly at her "I don't have too much since it's all Maxwell's now. Lady Lacey can stay in her childhood home and I can take you away from all the cruel servants."Lydia smiled "well enjoy, and thank you..." She said kissing her cheek and waving her away. She smiled at James "alone again my handsome prince...now make a list of what and who you want at the wedding darling."
Iliana frowned then. "that would be nice Marcoux… but isn't Master Wendell counting on you to run this household in James's place? And Maxwell to run your old estate?" She inquired, confused. "Are you suggesting that Maxwell runs the Wendell home, and you run yours?"James smiled at her, taking a bite of the spinach puffs. They seemed to melt in his mouth and he grinned. "You really have a gift my dear." He complimented. Then he thought. "Well. I need my whole family to come, including Marcoux. They'll want to be invited. And I have a few friends from my school days I should probably invite…"
Marcoux nodded "that is exactly what I am saying, Lacey is more trained at being a lady and can help Maxwell keep the Wendell estate running and socially active. My little mansion is away from everyone and the kits and the dogs would have plenty of room to roam and you can act like yourself."Lydia smiled and nodded "some of the help are my dearest friends and they should come...course Illiana would be Marcoyx's plus one...so really just a couple of cooks...whoever you want, there will be plenty of room...plus while exiting the chapel the kingdom will see us off to our honeymoon destination.
Iliana nodded then, thinking that over in her mind. That would make both of their lives easier. And no one would ask about the dogs or the foxes. "Alright." Iliana agreed. "That sounds like a great idea. We should let the Wendell's know, and talk to Maxwell about it so we can move in soon." She suggested. James nodded in agreement. "That sounds good." He said, taking another bite of the puffs. "I think all those people, plus all the other royals and officials is going to be a pretty big wedding as it is. We should get started on invitations soon." he suggested. "And where will we be having out honeymoon?"
Marcoux nodded and smiled over at her "I love you...I know this isn't the most orthodox method of love but I wouldn't have changed a thing Illi..." He smiled at the kits "bring the baby bottles they are going to be hungry when they wake up."Lydia nodded in agreement "of course...the servants have addressed most of the ones mother invited so all that is left is our loved ones...and then mother wants me to have a bridal shower and of course Illiana and Lacey are invited to that."
Iliana laughed softly then. "We aren't the most orthodox of people, Marcoux, and I'm completely alright with that." she kissed his cheek as she stood, gathering up both baby bottles. "We should ask the cook to mix some baby formula into the milk, to help them regain any nutrients they might have lost." she suggested. "I'd hate to see them get sick."James nodded, running over all that in his head. "Great. We could spend an hour or so tomorrow making up the rest of the invitations." he suggested, finishing off his spinach puffs and starting on the crepes. "A bridal shower should be good fun for you and your girls." he agreed. "Do you have any ideas for that?"
Marcoux smiled and nodded his agreement as he tied the horses back up and snuck them through the servant entry way to the kitchen. He found the new cook "could you mix up some baby formula and maybe small pieces of chicken?"Lydia shook her head "Enma is in charge, she insisted upon it and it has to be a surprise from me. Are you going to have a man night I assume? Better be no ladies involved..." She warned not liking to think about those sleazy clubs and her love.
Iliana followed him into the kitchen and waited patiently as he talked to the cook. The cook's eyes widened a little in surprise. "Well… I could." he said, shrugging, not seeing why not. "How much do you need?" he inquired, not quite sure what they wanted it for. James chuckled. "Well I'm sure that will be quite the nice surprise for you." he assured, squeezing her hand. Then he smiled sheepishly. "I don't know what will be involved with the bachelor party either." he admitted, "Marcoux, my best man, is planning it." he didn't mention, that a bachelor party, in the traditional sense, was supposed to be a 'last night of freedom'.
Marcoux smiled lightly and motioned to the sleeping kits "enough for these little ones...please, they lost their mom and we are trying to get them healthy again."Lydia sighed "I know how bachelor parties can be...I just want you to be just mine...im sorry im hormonal because of the baby..." She started to cry "it's not fair im fat with child and that women will be tiny and beautiful and not Royal!"
The cook chuckled then, clapping his hands together to pat off the flower. "Well I certainly can do that." he promised, getting a pot of milk warming on the stove. "So you found some little kits. Well. That is sweet." he said, stirring in some formula, and finely shaved chicken. James's face immediately creased with worry and guilt, and he hadn't even been to the party yet. "Lydia…" he breathed, gathering her into his arms. "I am just yours, and you are just mine. Do you really think Marcoux would be one to plan a party like that? If I were to guess, we'll probably go camping, or hunting, or fishing. All of which would be great fun, and I'll still be just yours." He promised, running his fingers gently through her hair. "You aren't fat, Lydia. You're hardly even showing, and even when you do, you'll still be the most beautiful thing in the world to me."
Marcoux smiled as the kits woke up, he set them on the floor and got a plate for chicken and the baby bottles ready to feed them "Illi...If you could be married anywhere where would it be?"Lydia cutled up in his arms and let the tears go as she curled her fingers around his shirt "it's the baby, I promise I'm not this crazy...oh gosh I am...I'm the crazy pregnant Princess of Great Britain..."
The cook poured the formula into the bottles, and packaged up the rest for them to use later. "There you go." he said. Iliana smiled softly, wondering about that. "well…" she started, "I've always dreamed of having a wedding on the chalk cliffs." She admitted. "They're so beautiful…"
James just rubbed her back and held her. "I don't blame you for being this way. I don't mind it either. I think it's cute." He promised. "Wether its the hormones or you, or both, I love you, ok? Don't ever forget that."
Marcoux leaned in close and smiled "I think that will be perfect...I'll find a minister and you find a dress..." He searched in his pockets for the small band he had made "it isn't elaborate but..I made it with my birthstone..."Lydia smiled and kissed him deeply "I love you...thank you for loving me...and our little angel." She placed his hand on her stomach "we're going to get married..."
Iliana nodded then, imagining a small wedding with him and the minister there to oversee it. And then they would be married! She fingered the ring, smiling softly. "it's beautiful, Marcoux." she promised. "And I can't believe we'll be married!" She said, kissing him quickly. James smiled, kissing her back, his hand resting on her stomach. "We'll be married and have a family." he whispered, kissing her cheek. "And we'll make all the people of the kingdom both love and be jealous of us." he whispered, smiling.
Marcoux smiled and kissed her hand slipping it on her finger "hey it's perfect...I'm glad that it fits I was scared that it would be too small but you have dainty little fingers."Lydia smiled gently and nodded "oh of course! We will be the perfect Royal family...i want to break the customs, I want you to be there when I deliver...though no man Is ever allowed I can't do it without you."
Iliana smiled, looking down at her hand. She felt special, like she belonged somewhere, and to someone, and it made her heart flutter. "thank you. It fits perfectly, and it's gorgeous." She promised, thrilled. James raised an eyebrow. Break the customs? Now that would cause gossip for forever! What would her mother think? What would his mother think? he shook his head. "are you sure? I'd love to be there… but that might make a few people pretty mad."
Marcoux smiled and watched the kits run together and leaped on her lap and snuggled up on her chest "let's find you a dress...Maybe Lacey has one, or Lydia can have the seamstress make you one."Lydia sighed "no...I can't do it, I already am the rebel royality! Will you be ok waiting though?...I know you get anxious..."
Iliana hugged the kits to herself, petting each of their small fluffy heads. "I'll ask Lacey first, to see if she has one I can borrow." She decided. "Then I'll go visit Lydia, if she doesn't, and ask her to have one made?" she suggested. "I don't want to make too much of a hassle for anyone." She said seriously. James nodded, figuring that was the case. He hugged her gently, kissing her hair. "I think I'll be alright." he promised. He smiled then. "Hopefully…"
Marcoux shook his head "your not a hassle to anyone Illi...in fact you tell me what you want your dress to look like and we'll get it made ok?" He smiled at the Foxes "what if we tied the rings around a ribbon around their necks and they can be part of it."Lydia sighed holding him to her "I'm just scared...and I don't know if that's even allowed to be scared, I should be excited and slightly ashamed of having this baby but I'm just...really scared James..."
Iliana smiled, hugging him. "Thank you, Marcoux. That really is a help. Can I draw it and put it in an envelope and you bring it to a seamstress? I don't want you to see it until the wedding." she said seriously. Then she laughed softly. "Now that would be cute!"James hugged her against him, rubbing her back comfortingly. "That's totally ok and allowed." He promised. "It's normal to be scared. This is pretty big. Heck. I'm scared!"
Marcoux chuckled and smiled "why don't you and Lady Lacey plan it and I go take the foxes with Maxwell on a walk ok?" He smiled nuzzling Shiloh as he licked his face "love you too buddy."Lydia sighed "I wish I could just...have taken this one step at a time. The wedding and then the baby and not crazy hormones that all I want to do is cook and have sex and eat food off of you."
Iliana nodded in agreement. "Alright. That sounds like a plan." she smiled, handing him Mila. "I'll go find Lacey and Maxwell, and send him down to meet you, ok?" She asked, kissing his cheek. "Have fun." She then ran off to find Lacey and Maxwell. James nodded in understanding. "It is a lot to happen all at once." he admitted, running a hand through his hair. A mischievous smile lit up his face at her last comment. "These hormones aren't all bad, Lydia… you know I'd be more than happy to do that." He said, winking.
Lacey was getting dressed again when she saw Illi "oh my goodness what is on your hand? It's a ring! Oh my gosh did he propose! Oh my gosh your getting married!"Marcoux saw Maxwell and smiled "want to walk my new kits with me? The girls need wedding talk and I need something to do with my life."
Lydia hit him lightly and smiled "you are awful my love! I think you'd get tired of my...pregnant body if we keep getting undressed."
Iliana hardly had time to do anything but smile before she was hugging Lacey and nodding frantically, trying to keep up with her sentences. "Yes! We're getting married! And I came to you because I need a dress." She admitted. Maxwell saw the fox kits and his eyes widened. "My gosh Marcoux, you really are an animal lover! Those things are adorable." He promised, taking Mila's leash as they walked out onto the grounds together. "Wedding talk?" he repeated. "So you proposed?"
James laughed easily then. "Tired? Of your body? Never." he said, kissing her deeply before he smiled again. "I love you, no matter your size." He promised. "And my love for the baby in your stomach makes double the love." he teased.
Lacey squealed and jumped up and down with her "we need to design one! What were you thinking? You both are so nature loving....like gypsies. That would be gorgeous on you!"Marcoux nodded and smiled "we saved their lives...they are sweet and really well behaved, oh I'm going to live in the old mansion and you are taking the Wendell mansion to be with Lacey...I don't think the foxes would be welcome."
Lydia smiled "aw I am marrying the sweetest guy on earth, now come it's time for bed and I need to throw up again." She moaned leaning on him
Iliana beamed, nodding her approval. "Yes. I was hoping we could design one!" She agreed. "Gypsies? What would a gypsy wedding dress look like?" She asked, trying to imagine it. Maxwell smiled softly, glancing down at the small thing as they walked around the yard. "They are behaving quite well for wild foxes." He agreed. Then he thought for a moment. "Well… I'd be alright with that. I think Lacey would too. She grew up here after all." He agreed, smiling.
James smiled softly, getting up with her and supporting her to the bathroom. "Come on." He said gently, holding her as she threw up. He helped her get cleaned up and flushed the toilet for her, before helping her into bed. "Let's get you tucked in." He said, bundling her up in blankets. "Comfy?"
Lacey smiled and showed her the idea "like a flowing dress with sleeves that go down your shoulders and just think free and flowing, not constricting at all right?"Marcoux smiled "perfect, this will be good. I'm taking the dogs with me too...Illiana wants all the animals, no kids...so after you...kicked us out of the room do you think Lacey is...you know?"
Lydia smiled and nodded snuggling up on his chest and holding around his waist and kissed his chest "love you...thank you, tomorrkw im going to try on wedding gowns..."
Iliana beamed as that sounded absolutely gorgeous. "Oh…" She breathed, clasping her hands together. "That does sound lovely!" She said seriously. "Let's do some sketches of ideas!" She suggested, getting them paper and pencils. Maxwell chuckled, raising his hands in surrender. "Alright! You get the dogs." He agreed, smiling softly. He didn't mind that his friend loved animals so much. In fact, he thought it was cool. "About Lacey… well. I don't know. It's a possibility, but I mean… I don't even know if it was the optimum time for her to conceive." he shrugged.
James nodded, tucking his head on top of hers as he got comfortable, holding her in his arms. "That sounds like fun." he said softly, just playing with her hair. "Do they already have options for you?"
Lacey smiled and sketched them out for her she smiled showing her "tell me what you want and don't want?" She said biting the end of her pencil and shaking her head "I'm a bad artist Illiana."Marcoux chuckled gently "and I don't think she is going to want another doctor appointment for...ever. So maybe you'll find out in 9 months?" He picked up Shiloh who was sniffing around "don't get into trouble little boy."
Lydia smiled and nodded "half a dozen...but I don't know they have to add an extra panel to hide the baby belly...so I may burst into tears or strangle someone."
Iliana watched her sketch, and smiled brightly. She took the sketch she liked most, and erased the shoulders, drawing them again in lace, and then added a longer veil, and smoothed out the skirt a little so it was more flowy. "I like this idea." She said, holding the sketch up.Maxwell nodded, raking a hand through his hair. "At least the wedding is coming up. That way her parents won't murder me if she is pregnant." he said, smiling a little. "So… you and Iliana are getting married. Are you excited?"
James raised an eyebrow. "Burst into tears or strangle someone because you have to try on dresses? Because you are pregnant? Or because they have to modify the dresses?" he asked, trying to properly understand her.
Lacey grinned and folded it up "we have to get this to the seamstress, it's beautiful! Oh do you want to see my dress? It's finished and im so excited!" She said pulling the bag out to show her. Marcoux smiled and nodded "I couldn't be happier...really, like she just completes me you know that...and she helps me with my attacks. She's just wonderful and I love her so much."
Lydia sighed patiently "thank you for trying to understand, because I'm fat and they have to add fabric to a gorgeous dress because I'm fat!"
Iliana smiled shyly, glad she approved. She was happy with it as well, and she just hoped Marcoux would like her in it. In the end, that was all that mattered. Then she grinned. "Yes! Of course I want to see it!" She said, waiting in anticipation. Maxwell chuckled, clapping him on the back. "I'm glad you found your girl." he said seriously. "And that she makes you happy. I really couldn't be more happy for you." he nodded down at a now sleeping Mila. "I suppose we should get these two back inside?" He suggested.
James shook his head then. "Not fat. Pregnant." He corrected. "And like I said, you're more beautiful because of it. Or at least I think so." he promised, kissing her. "I'm sure the seamstresses are skilled enough to make the dress look exactly the same, even with modifications." He assured.
Lacey changed into the dress and smiled spinning and grinning at her "isn't ur perfect? I've never felt so beautiful! They don't have a train yet but it'll be gauzy with lace."Marcoux nodded and smiled "same to you...I'm glad I don't have an elaborate wedding to stess about. We are going to the chalk cliffs to have our ceremony."
Lydia sighed "you truly love me, or else I would have driven you insane by now love...thank you, I' promise I'll be in a better mood tomorrow, it's just today was so...stressful."
Iliana gasped when Lacey tried on the dress and she ooohed and aaahed at it appropriately. "My… it's just like a fairytale." She breathed. "I love it! It looks so lovely on you, Lacey."Maxwell smiled then. "Good choice of place." He nodded slowly, as if in thought, and then frowned. "No wedding to stress about? Are you not inviting anyone?" he inquired, curious.
James smiled softly, kissing her lips. "That's what I'm here for baby." he whispered gently. "Now let's get some rest. I want us both to have more than enough energy for the coming days." he said seriously, closing his own eyes.
Lacey giggled and smiled "thank you...I love it too! I hope Maxwell likes it...I mean he doesn't really comment on what I wear...it's just not him."Marcoux shrugged "just the two of us...we don't like stressing and we like to be private together...the foxes will be the ring bearers though. Then we'll move together..."
Iliana smiled, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Any man would be plain old stupid not to love this dress on you. You both look gorgeous." She promised. "And whether or not Maxwell says it, I'm sure he'll be thinking it." She promised. Maxwell nodded in understanding. "Well that certainly will be sweet, and very romantic as the women say." he winked. "The foxes will be cute too. A little strange, but very cute. And highly appropriate." he assured, smiling.
Lacey squealed and hugged her hopping up and down "this is why you are my best friend...let's go get this dress made for you...is it weird I just want to keep this dress on its so comfortable and has pockets!"Marcoux chuckled "we are really weird but I think that's what makes us work, you and Lacey are normal and will be the notified couple in the social circles, we will be the rumor mill couple."
Lydia smiled "good answer love...you ready for dinner? It's just going to be you and me in our special table...whatever you want I'll make ok?"
