Lund laughs softly again as he moves to slip his hand into hers tenderly. "She gets that from her mother." He leans in to kiss her on the cheek nuzzling her neck softly. "Although I think she gets alot of things from her mother. I may have to lock Sarah in the tower to keep the boys away from her darling." His fingers brush against her cheek, slipping through her hair softly. He then moves down to her stomach slowly. "I still think we need to look at expanding the house. You have alot more children to give us still my love."
 
She laughs gently at that, "After last night and just now, I would not be surprised if we had already gotten well on the way to expanding as you wish. I hope you will not want to many though. I don't wish my whole life to be baby after baby. I want to have many children with you, but I should like a few children we can give much love to rather then so many children I don't even know all their names." She smiles moving to sit up, looking around and sighing, "We should go back. Tomorrow is the wedding and this is really not the time to be thinking of ourselves. It's Lily's special day."
 
Standing slowly he adjust his clothing slowly. "A few more children at least then love. Sarah will need some siblings to help keep her in line." He offers his hand to her helping her to her feet softly. once she is on her feet he pulls her close kissing her tenderly. While still holding her hand he gives off a quick whistle. Turning slightly he catches the reigns to his horse. "Of course. I cant believe Lily is finally getting married. Lord Gaisse is going to make her very happy I think."
 
Kiana wondered if it would be the siblings keeping Sarah in order or Sarah keeping them in order. She smiled as she watched his horse come trotting along gingerly before moving to start collecting their picnic and put everything back into the basket. "I think he will as well. She was infatuated with that boy from before but she seems genuinely happy now with Gaisse. I will miss her being at home with us. She has become such a good friend of mine but I hope she will be happy in the home she will build with him.
 
As she packs up the picnic he works on checking over the saddle straps. "Im sure they wont mind us visiting them some Kiana. Lily will want you to visit her when she starts her own family." He turns back towards her slowly as he rubs the horses neck. "I still have a bad feeling about this love, something seems to be off." Shaking his head softly as he takes the basket from her strapping it to the horse. "I think Im just getting paranoid in my age."

Gaisse slips through the halls of the manor smiling happily. Glancing back over his shoulder he moves into the great hall seeing Lily standing with her back to him. Suppressing a laugh he slips up behind Lily, his arms slipping around the young woman's waist tenderly. "Good afternoon my beloved." His lips briefly touch her cheek as he gives her waist a squeeze.
 
Kiana rubbed her hand over Lund's back to reassure him gently, "Perhaps it's just this place love. It does have some negative energy after all. What do you feel is wrong? You don't have doubts about Gaisse do you?"

----

Lily smiled as she felt his arms wrap around her body. She turned and graced him with her sweet, charming face filled with a happy glow. "Good afternoon. We only have a few more hours before tradition will force us to be parted until tomorrow. It is bad luck for the bride and groom to see one another on the day of the wedding before they meet at the alter after all. My family is VERY superstitious about that tradition."
 
Lund sighs softly as he begins to shake his head. "No its not about the boy himself. Just something seems off is all." He turns to Kiana smiling suddenly as he lifts her up by her waist hugging her close. "Perhaps it is nothing, let us try and enjoy this glorious time for my sister." He presses his lips tightly to Kiana's as he begins to spin with her.

-----
Gaisse smiles happily enjoying the glow on Lily's face. "That is why I slipped away from my attendants. I had to see you just once more before we were forced to be apart." His fingers press against her cheek, toying with a lose strand of her hair as he looks into her eyes. "Soon we will be married and off to our new home. A home that you will fill with such joy." He hesitates wanting to kiss her, but he presses his lips to her forehead softly.
 
Kiana laughs happily as he spins her, "Lund! You are making me dizzy!" she laughed out loudly but did nothing to stop him from showing his playful, loving nature to her.

---
Lily had to wet her lips a moment for they were dry with need to be kissed. She said nothing at first as she smiled up at him, loving the look of joy in his eyes, "I plan to fill our home with more then just joy. I hope to fill it with happiness and smiles and laughter as well." She glanced to the left and to the right seeing a few people but they turned their faces for her. Leaning in she whispered to him, "Grant me a kiss before our next kiss with unite us forever?"
 
Laughing still he spins her around a few more times. "I'm sure you won't get that dizzy love." His lips press to hers tenderly once more. "We should get back so you can help Lily finish planning her perfect wedding." Turning he places her on top of the horse, before sliding in behind her.

----
Gaisse nods softly as he continues to play with that lose strand of her hair. "I look forward to seeing all of the joy you bring my dear." His eye brow arches as she glances around the room, before asking her question. "If that is truly what you want beloved?" His lips descend to hers softly as he steps closer to her.
 
Lily's lips met his in the simple yet sweetly passionate kiss. It was not something rough or demanding but just soft and loving. It burned her heart with the strength of his love for her. It was a kiss she never wanted to end but knew that it must. There was still work to be done for last minute preparation. They would still see one another for dinner though not be able to have a moment like this again until tomorrow.
 
Gaisse smiles softly at the kiss they share enjoying it and saddened when it must end. His eyes lock on to hers smiling as he caresses her cheek tenderly once more. "It will sadden me when we must be forced apart till the wedding." He smiles softly as he takes a step back noticing a few servants glancing at them. "I thought Lady Kiana was here with you this morning working on the last minute details."
 
Lily felt needy for another at once but heads had already turned back around and the chance at it was gone. The change in topic to Kiana made her smile. "Well, she was here until my wicked big brother stole her away for the afternoon. She has been missing in action ever since he summoned her to have lunch with him. No telling where he took her or when she'll be back. I don't blame her that I am on my own with these last minute details but I do blame Lund and will give him a stern talking to when I see him next."
 
Gaisse nods softly as he supresses a soft laugh. "In that I do not envy your brother. Taking away your only helper in such a task." He slips his hand down to hers holding it tenderly for a moment, squeezing. "Although Im sure Lady Kiana protested the entire time he was taking her away." He lifts her hand softly to kiss the back of it. Lowering her hand slowly he squeezes it again as he glances around the room. "Are you feeling as nervous as I am Lily?"
 
That sounded like Kiana to her as well. It sort of warmed her heart a bit that Gaisse had taken such an active interest in her life and her family that he knew Kiana's personality so well like that. "Nervous... a bit. Who would not be nervous upon taking such a large step in life as marriage? But the one thing I am more then I am nervous is certain. Certain this is the best thing that will ever happen to me. Certain that you are my happy ending."
 
Gaisse nods softly once more as he lifts her hand one last time kissing the back of it. "I must return to my rooms. My steward will want me to try on my formal wear once more to make sure it all fits before the wedding." Giving her hand a soft squeeze once more he lets it go reluctantly. "I will definitely see you tonight at dinner." He starts to step backwards winking at her playfully as he leaves through the doors he entered in.

----
Jas had been in the manor for the last few hours. It had been alittle easy to pose as one of the new guardsman fumbling his way around the home. He had already searched Lily's rooms for her when he spotted Gaisse leaving the great hall. Lowering his head he walks past the man acting nothing, but respectful as he passes. His smile seems to brighten as he catches sight of Lily, moving towards her slowly with a cloth dipped into an herb guaranted to render the woman unconscious.
 
Lily is smiling brightly as she watched Gaisse move away from her. "Until dinner," she calls just as he leaves the room. She hovered there watching the space he had just occupied for the time being. Her mind wandered to how complete she really felt with Gaisse. There had been infatuation with Jas but it all seemed to fleeting now that Gaisse's love filled her. She laughed slightly and shook her head at how silly she had been with that relationship. If one could call it that. Amazing how one could grow in maturity in such a short span of time.

Sighing, she supposed it was back to work for her. Trying on her gown for the wedding would be a good idea as well. She headed from the hall towards her rooms. Hopefully by the time she got it on Kiana would have reappeared by then.
 
Jas shakes his head seeing the happiness on Lily's face convincing himself it has to be just for show. He steps into the shadows as she starts out of the hall. With silent steps he starts to follow her hoping that she will go someplace quieter for him to kidnap. Glancing around he smiles as he realizes where she is headed. Taking the cloth out of his pouch he continues to follow her knowing that she might scream out when she sees the mess he left of her room. Taking a couple of quick steps he is almost touching her by the time she reaches her door.
 
Lily was just opening her door when the happy look on her face melted off as the condition of her room came into view. The most shocking thing being her wedding gown that had been lying on her bed in a ripped up pile on the floor at the foot of her bed. She was to stunned seeing it all to scream at first.
 
Jas quickly steps forward, clamping the cloth over her mouth and nose pressing it hard into her face. His other arm comes around her waist to hold her strongly against him to keep her from fighting him to much. He doesnt say anything not wanting her to hear his voice as he keeps the cloth over her face till she ceases struggling against him.
 
The scream comes to late and is captured by the cloth over her face. Lily's hand shoots up to start clawing at his hand holding the cloth but the herbs upon it work quickly until she is limp and unconscious in his arms.
 
He keeps the cloth over her mouth for a few moments more before pulling it away. Crumpling the rag up he tosses it towards the fireplace, but misses it. Then without any real effort he scoops her up into his arms with a smile. "I wont let him ruin what we have love. I know he is just tricking you and this is the only way I can keep you safe." His lips press to her cheek for a moment as he smiles. Taking one of her cloaks he wraps it around her body, before turning to carry her out through the halls, using corridors that only servants would use most of them ignoring him as he passes.
 
No one came after Lily for awhile. Everyone thought her with someone else. It was not until Kiana and Lund came trotting back into the courtyard from their picnic that someone might have taken notice. As Lund helped Kiana to dismount, she smiled and gave him a sweet kiss, "I thank you for the afternoon my love, but I am not free to continue with all I had planned to do with your sister this afternoon? I'm sure she is simply pulling her hair out over all the little details."
 
Jas gets Lily down to the courtyard. The horse and cart he had ready is still waiting for him. He gives a quick glance around noticing Kiana and Lund as they return from their ride. He swallows softly as he lays Lily into the cart pushing some of the hay in the back over her cloak wrapped form. Keeping his head down slightly he makes his way to the bench pulling himself up, grabbing the reigns. With a click of his tongue he starts for the gates nervously.

-----
Lund nods as he helps Kiana down enjoying the kiss with her. His eyes do glance up noticing the guardsman driving the buggy out. He stares for a moment before turning back to Kiana. "Thats fine love, just if my sister ask you havent seen me." He laughs softly as he turns his horse over to one of the stable boys. "You best hurry, so she still has some hair left for the wedding tomorrow."
 
Kiana did not notice the cart or the driver at all, to fixated on the love of her life at the moment. No one stopped the cart as there have been much coming and going to prepare for the wedding in the last few days.

She laughed, "Oh I am still slightly cross with you. I might just let her know exactly where to find you. You might want to go into hiding for a wee while." With a smile she turned and left him, heading off to locate Lily. She tired the main hall first, but only found servants decorating the space and preparing for both the evening meal tonight but the feast for tomorrow as well. She tired the family chapel next but again found only servants decorating the space. The last stop was Lily's room. As she approached, she noticed the door ajar. As she pushed it the rest of the way open, she gasped out when she found the room in a total disarray. The dress that had been made especially for the happy day on the floor. "GUARD!" Kiana cried out down the hall. "Guard!!"
 
Jas nudges the horses to go abit faster once outside the gates. He had to hurry to get to his single horse before the guards were alerted. Swallowing softly he glances back for a moment. His eyes then dart down towards the hay where Lily lays knocked out. "Soon my dear. I have our home all set up for you." He smiles as he takes them straight through the village appearing to be heading for the orchards for another load of apples to bring back to the manor.

----
Lund laughs softly as he gives her a mock glare. "If you do that I will have to hide even during the wedding." He gives Kiana a quick kiss on the lips, before turning away. His eyes spot Angus and he is quick to call his friends name out. Walking across the yard he smiles as he pats his friend ont he back. "She wasnt nearly as angry at me as you believed my friend. In fact she rather enjoyed our time together." His eyes glance up to the walls scanning them slowly. "How are the guards set? Ive got a bad feeling and Ive had it for the last few days."
