McKensie and Lara II :)
Mary smacked his arm "when you cook you can decide what to eat!"Stefan nuzzled her "I love you, are you ok?"
Jude shrugged. "I can't complain I suppose." he kissed her cheek. "But the food is getting cold, let's eat!"Charlotte smiled an nodded so he would feel it, tucking her true emotions deep into her core. She didn't want to worry him, not after such a big event...
Mary nodded and dug in, Drina had already finished half of her meal. "Sorry...I'm starving!" She said sheepishly her face flushed.Stefan smiled and kissed her shoulder "I love you. How's your father?"
Jay looked over and smiled softly. "I'm sorry for not feeding you better!" He said semi seriously, smiling. Jude shook his head, onto his second plate. "That's what the food's here for honey, go ahead and eat it."
Charlotte smiled genuinely then. "He actually wanted to see me..." She said softly. "He was excited to see me Stefan. He was glad he had a daughter..."
Drina smiled and kissing him "you feed me so well Jay. The baby just wants everything possible in my stomach!"Stefan grinned excited "was he pleased to see your mother?"
Jay nodded, hugging her briefly. "Eat all you want darling, I want you to stay healthy..." He said seriously, his hand brushing her stomach. Charlotte nodded eagerly. "he was. She will be staying with him now." She smiled, leaning into him. "They are together again."
Drina smiled "do you like it?...I know how to make it if you want to try it again. "
Stefan smiled and pecked her forehead "you might have siblings soon!"
Jay nodded eagerly. "It is definitely different than most foods I am used too, but good all the same." He said honestly, sipping his drink. "I would love to have it again some time."Charlotte laughed softly. "Now wouldn't that be strange..." She said. Having a sibling... so much younger than her.
Drina smiled and finished rubbing her stomach trying to keep the nausea down. "So what do you do for a living Jude?" Stefan grinned "it would be bizarre, but nice at the same time. Tide would have a little friend..."
Jude looked up from his meal and smiled politely. "I run a railroad company. In an expanding country like this one, it's quite a profitable business.""Yeah, in which you don't do anything but boss people around." Jay teased.
Jude raised his hands in surrender. "If you weren't so bent on justice, I would have offered you a job under me."
"Under you?" Jay raised an eyebrow. "After all these years, you wouldn't even make me your partner?"
Charlotte smiled, nodding. "Yes. He could play with his aunt or uncle..." She shook her head. "That really would be strange..." She smiled and kissed his nose. "How are you feeling?"
Drina frowned confused "railroad?...what is a railroad?" She looked at Jay "what are you going to do for work now?"Stefan smiled and nuzzled her "I'm good...I just miss seeing you..how are you?"
Jude smiled. "It's another mode of transportation. It carries these carriages that move on their own, called trains. They can move much faster than a horse can." He explained. "But I'm serious about that job, Jay, if you need one."Jay sighed. "I do actually, now that I'm back again."
Charlotte put on another smile and hoped that her voice would not show any unsureness she felt. "I'm doing well." She said softly.
Drina took his hand tightly "it isn't dangerous is it?"Stefan frowned "what's wrong?..."
Jude smiled and shook his head. "No. Jay's right. I just boss everyone around. We would work from home, not out on the field. I have hired men to do that." he explained. Charlotte swallowed, inwardly cursing herself for not concealing her emotions better. "Wrong...?" She repeated hesitantly, hoping to sound totally ok.
Drina smiled feeling relief about that and nodded "if it's what you want to do Jay..."Stefan sighed and nodded "I know you better than that...yes, what's wrong?"
Jay nodded, smiling brightly. "I think I'll take you up on that offer Jude."Jude grinned. "Great! Knew you would..."
Charlotte bit her lip, looking down. "Stefan I...." she sighed. "Theres a few things on my mind...." she said honestly.
Drina grinned and pecked his cheek "I can sell some paintings and we will be financially sound." She said excited.Stefan frowned caressing her cheek "like what love?..."
Jay nodded eagerly. "Exactly." He agreed, taking another sip of his glass. "And I think I am just about stuffed to the seams." He said, shaking his head. Charlotte sighed softly. "Like what you said about not being able to go in the ocean again. That means I can't either, because you can't watch Tide too easily until you know your way around the house. And it also means I'll have to take up a job to support our family." She bit her lip. "I just don't know how I'm going to do it all..."
Drina nodded and went to help clear the table.Mary laughed "sit down darling that's the servant's jobs?"
Stefan felt sick, and looked away "you won't...marry someone that can take care of a child. That can take care of his wife...I have enough money to keep us stable...and there is the sunken treasure gold."
Jay smiled gently, squeezing Drina's hand. "It's ok honey. You don't need to help with that here."Charlotte bit her lip, tears springing into her eyes. "Stefan!" She cried. "I will never love any man but you." She shook her head. "I will do it. I will support our family. it will be alright. I'll pull it all together somehow. My mother can watch Tide while I get the gold, and hopefully it will be enough to last us for a while. Then I will get a job." She said seriously.
Drina frowned "but...servants can't do everything. Why can't we help them?"Stefan shook his head "just stop! I'm a useless man, I can't lay here and let you do everything...please let me go, for Tide...and you."
Jay smiled gently. "That's why we have servants honey. They are here to help us, not the other way around. They are payed well for what they do."Charlotte bit her lip, sitting up a little straighter. She knew he was right. She couldn't stop the tears streaming down her face, and for once, she was glad he couldn't see them. She nodded slowly and leaned down to kiss him. "I love you Stefan." She whispered. "Please take care. I'll visit. I promise." She whispered.
Drina wasn't quite sure that she was ok with that but sat back down at her seat. It just reminded her of the way her people were treated in the slave camps though she knew it wasn't that way since they were paid.Stefan winced feeling the tears splash on his face and nodded "you don't have to...just take care of Tide and find someone that can take care of you...the way that I cant."
Jay looked over at her. "You ok?" He asked gently, sensing that she had something on her mindCharlotte shook her head. "I will visit Stefan, I could never leave you behind permanently." She squeezed his hand, biting her lip hard. "I love you."
Drina nodded and smiled "baby is fussy..." Which wasn't a lie, the baby was kicking up a storm."Mary smiled "why don't we retire to the drawing room for coffee?"
Stefan swallowed "I love you...that's why I'm letting you go..."
Jude nodded. "Wonderful idea." He agreed, leading them to the drawing room. Jay looped his arm through Drina's to try and help support her. "Are you sure you're doing ok?" He asked gently, his brow crinkling in worry. She looked somewhat... pained, and he didn't want her in any sort of pain.
Charlotte couldn't hold back a choked sob then. "Stefan... letting me go? I don't want to leave!" She said. "I really think I can do this. I think I can support us. Our family. That's how its supposed to be. We're supposed to stick together..." she whispered, covering her face with her hands as she dissolved in tears.
Drina nodded and held onto his arm, she stumbled feeling sick and put her hand on her stomach. "I need to lay down..."Stefan held her close and cried along with her. "I just feel like I can't do anything right now..."
Jay nodded, glancing worriedly at Jude he showed them to a guest bedroom. Jay lay her down gently and squeezed her hand. "You'll be ok." He promised.Charlotte shook her head, hugging him right. "You'll get used to being blind, and Be able to do things again. You're not useless. You're all that's holding me together."
Drina nodded and whimpered closing her eyes, when she stressed the baby stressed. "The slave camp..." she whispered needing to get that out. Stefan swallowed holding her closer "I just don't to have to have you do everything..."
Jay hugged her close to him, and shook his head. "Shh, Drina, it's in the past. You're safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you." He assured, rubbing her arms gently. Charlotte found his hand with hers and smiled weakly. "I'm up for it Stefan, I can support our family." She promised.
Drina swallowed her body was shaking slightly thinking about it "I don't want to treat anyone like that..."Stefan sighed "it doesn't seem right!"
Jay nodded in understanding. "And we won't." He whispered, holding her. "I promise."Charlotte frowned a little. "Would you rather lose me than have me work for you?" She asked softly.
Drina nodded "thank you...for understanding. I love you..."Stefan shook his head "I want to be your husband, and all the responsibilities that come with it."
Jay smiled softly. "I love you too. And I wan't you to have a good time here... I want to help you move on from the past." He said gently, squeezing her hand. Charlotte nodded, looking down at the bed sheets. "And you can be Stefan. It will just take some getting used to..." She said, hoping she was being encouraging.
Drina nodded "I am having a good time, it just feels so surreal...like ill wake up and none of it happened..."Stefan sighed and nodded not wanting to argue with her anymore.
Jay nodded in understanding. "I'm sure that's only natural. I'll still wake up in a cold sweat, thinking I'm back in my tent in the desert, miles from here." he said honestly. "I'm hopping it passes with time."Charlotte watched him carefully, seeing emotions on his face plainly, even though he could not see, they still reflected in his eyes. "Stefan... I love you so much. You know that right? I just couldn't leave you behind..." She whispered.
Drina closed her eyes thinking about the soft rug in his tent and the white canvas "when you were cleaning my back...was it just because I wasn't of use to you that way?"Stefan nodded "I'm grateful for your love...I just feel like I don't deserve it."
Jay shook his head. "Yes and no. I didn't think you would survive like that, for one. And for two, I felt badly for you." He said, biting his lip in honesty.Charlotte shook her head insistently. "If anyone deserve it its you Stefan, don't doubt yourself.
Drina smiled "I thought so...I knew that you cared, I just...I was too stubborn to see it."Stefan pecked her lips and nuzzled her "I'll always love you..."
Jay nodded slowly, sighing. "I don't really like how our story started, to be honest." He said, looking over at her. "It's too... horrible. But wonderful at the same time, because I met you."Charlotte laughed softly. "Oh is that so?" She asked. "You sure about that Stefan? You wont ever get bored of me?" She asked, tucking her head against him again.
Drina nodded "but if it had gone smoothly we wouldn't be able to be as strong...things wouldn't change."Stefan kissed her hair and shook his head "no, because you are going to find a way to get my sight back."
Jay nodded in agreement, sighing. "I suppose you're right." He agreed. "I just wish I hadn't hurt you before." He said, looking at her then, his eyes holding an apology.Charlotte nodded in determined agreement. "Yes. I will." She promised. She ran her fingers through his hair gently. "Any suggestions as to how I should do that?"
Drina cupped his face and kissed him "I hurt you too...I could have killed you if you weren't skilled."Stefan sighed "you are magical...maybe a spell? A potion brought you back to me..."
Jay smiled, resting his forehead against hers. "Got thing I know how to use a sword then." he joked, tucking her hair behind her ear. "We should probably go downstairs again soon, and let Jude know that we are ok." he mused. Charlotte nodded, looking down then. "I wont be able to use my own force until it recharges. But there may be a potion I can mix up." She agreed. "I'll ask my mother for suggestions. She is a sea witch after all, as well as being a queen." She said, shrugging.
Drina rubbed her stomach and took deep breaths "the baby is still pretty restless...I'll lose dinner if I try to get up...I've never heard that pregnancy is this hard!"Stefan nodded "very good idea, how'd she become queen?"
Jay nodded, sighing softly. "I'm sorry that its so rough for you. I wish I could help in some way." He said honestly, feeling so helpless to do anything for her. "Do you need anything? Anything at all?"Charlotte smiled a little. "You're either born or married into it. Or chosen by the people." She explained. "My mother was chosen." She smiled proudly, glad to be of such lineage as that.
Drina knew how much he wanted to help and ease any discomfort she was in, he loved her that much "rubbing my back and stomach help ease the tension...that would be nice." She said honestly closing her eyes.Stefan smiled "I still have s lot to learn about your world..."
((have a PA day today, so I'll be one one more day before I need to work :) ))Jay smiled gently. "Of course my dear." He said, supporting her as he slowly moved around behind her and started to rub her back. "Is this the right spot?" He asked, working gently.
Charlotte nodded, laughing softly. "Yes. Yes you do." She agreed. "And once I have you seeing again, we can visit again." She promised, kissing his cheek.
Drina nodded and softly moaned "right there...thank you Jay, I certainly couldn't do this without you...you are going to be an amazing father..."Stefan nodded and touched her face and kissed her cheek. "You are an angel...but I need to rest...go take care ocTagon."
Jude chuckled. "my wife... always one to try new flavors, but that is definitely her favorite. I should know. It's her pick for at least 6 out of the 7 days in a week." he joked, laughing.
Charlotte smiled, watching him go before she kissed Stefan's cheek. "See. He still loves you. As do I."
