To the Highest Bidder Goes the Prize (Chuckeles/butterfly040

Gaisse smiles softly as he nods. "Well it would be nice to show off our home to you. Just give us a few weeks to get it all ready." He smiles again as he reaches over the table to take Lily's hand softly. "Im sure Lily will have it feeling like we belong before I know it." Giving her hand a soft squeeze before releasing it, he looks into her eyes.

Lund smiles softly seeing the glare from his wife. He shrugs slightly as he nods for a moment. "A visit is in order then. Perhaps during the winter equinox. Its a few months away and Im sure our wives will still be able to travel by then." He reaches over the table to take Kiana's hand softly.
 
Kiana only glared more at him, "You do not do math very well do you love? By the winter equinox we will all be holding our babes by then or beyond the point of popping."

"Agreed," chimmed in Nessa as she glared at her own husband. "You men would have us all romping about the land and risk having your babies in a ditch in the side of the road."

"They are right," Lily added joining with the conversation, though she did not glare as the other two did. "By the time the babe's are born and can travel we will be deep into winter. I fear after tomorrow, we will not be seeing one another until spring time."

((I am backish!))
 
Lund shrugs slightly as he smiles at Kiana sheepishly. "I was just thinking that it would be nice for us to be out of the castle. My apologies love." He takes a drink from his wine glass before glancing at her softly. "I think spring will be a better time to travel as well, as long as we can catch a few clear days to travel." Reaching across the table he takes Kiana's hand squeezing it tenderly.

-----
Gaisse smiles at Lily as she speaks. "Spring time will g e us the entire winter to get our home ready for guest." His eyes find Lilys as he lets his fingers brush against hers tenderly. Glancing back towards the room he shifts nervously as watches the other couples for a moment.
 
Lily catches his nervous movement for just a second before she decides not to address it and turns back to the meal. The time seems to pass swiftly before it is time for the couples to depart for the night. The men all take the trays of food to the hall so no servant would disturb them and possibly see Lily's state. With kisses on the cheeks and wishes of good night, the small wedding party disbanded. Lily looked about "Well... I suppose I should pack?" she said as she looked around, not really knowing were to start. Kiana and Nessa had promised to pack another trunk of clothing for her that would fit her form from their own wardrobes so for Lily all she had to worry about was a few dresses for afterwards and any personal keepsakes she wished to bring along.
 
Gaisse swallows softly as waits for the other two couples to leave. Once they are gone he moves to Lily placing his hands on her shoulders. "How are you holding up Lily?" His hands stay on her shoulders as he moves closer to her leaning his head in. With a smile he places a soft kiss on her cheek. "We have some time before we need to start packing." His hands move to turn her slowly as he kisses her cheek tenderly once more. "I love you Lily." His eyes meet hers looking into them softly.
 
Lily stopped with a blanket she had just picked up to hold in her hands, giving him a smile. It was hard to tell if the smile was a natural one or forced. Could go either way. "I am fine Gaisse. You worry about me to much. And we really don't have as much time as you would think. If we are to leave first thing in the morning, my travel trunks and yours must be packed before then."
 
Gaisse just smiles at her as she turns towards him. "Actually most of mine are still packed. I never unpacked them when I first arrived, I wasnt sure if I would have to leave soon after." His fingers caress along her cheek tenderly as he looks into her eyes. "What can I help you to do?" He turns to glance around the room slowly his eyes taking in everything as he does so.
 
She glances around, "Well, perhaps help me to make two piles? Take and leave behind?" she started to move about. She put the blanket in her arms upon the bed, "This will be the pile we pack." She moved around, picking up random little knick knats, books, and clothing putting them upon the bed. "You can pack as I place?"
 
He nods softly as he opens the chest for them. His eyes watch her move around the room as he makes sure everything is placed before him to pack. "Lily...I was curious to know something. Are you angry that I killed that man?" He looks up at her swallowing softly as he holds one of her books in his hands.
 
She paused with her back to him as she asked his question. It took her a moment to turn herself around to face him, a sympathetic look upon her face, "No. I am not. For I knew it is what had to be done. I am only sad that... it had to come to such and end. I did love him, once. I wanted him to have happiness. The same kind I have found with you. But he could not allow me to be happy nor to find it for himself. I'm sorry you had to do it."
 
Gaisse looks at her gently as she turns to look at him. "I tried to give him a chance to surrender, even though I was so angry at him for taking you. I knew it was what you would want." Laying another book of hers into the chest he stares at his hands silently. "I've never had to kill before, I learned just enough sword play to be dangerous." He starts to wipe his hands on his shirt shaking his head quietly.
 
"There is no blood there..." she told him as she crossed the room to take his hands into her own. Raising them up, she kissed his knuckles before pressing her cheeks to them, "These are the hands that saved me. They are warm and tender and with these hands we will build a future for ourselves."
 
Gaisse swallows his hands trembling as she kisses each of his knuckles. His smile is slow, but it does form at her words. "I love you Lily. I love you so much." Being gentle he tugs her down into his lap with a smile. "We will use both of our hands to build this happy future for ourselves."
 
Her form is a bit cumbersome as she settles down into his lap and puts her arms around his neck. Leaning her head in she nuzzles her cheek against his and sighs, "And I love you Gaisse. Oh how I love you. I simply cannot wait until we have our hands deep into the building of out home my love."
 
Gaisse slips his hand up to caress her cheek tenderly. Swallowing softly he leans in to kiss her tenderly on the lips. Being careful he continues to kiss her tenderly, his hand drops down to touch her stomach tenderly. "Our home is going to be wonderful love." He begins to kiss her once more as he draws her closer to him. "You are beautiful and wonderful love."
 
She seems to tense once again as his hand touches her rounded belly thought she goes not pull away from him now. Still, her hesitation was clearly there for a moment. She sighs and this time, rather then hid her troubles, shares them with him, "What will we do... if the baby is a boy? He will not truly be any heir to you. If it is a girl then it will be easy enough to hide her true father. But a boy? And if I have another boy, with you, he would be the real heir..."
 
Gaisse smiles softly as he continues to touch her stomach tenderly. "No matter the childs gender we will give it a home that will make anyone jealous." He leans in to press his lips to hers tenderly. "We will deal with all of this when it is time for us to love." His fingers caress against her cheek tenderly as he smiles at her softly. "For now we have plenty to keep us busy." He offers her another smile as he hugs her tightly to him.
 
She wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him back. "Yes..." lots to keep them busy and hopefully much to keep her mind off her troubles. "You can help me to forget as well...." she said leaning in for quick kiss.

-------
After tending Sarah and putting her to bed, Kiana returned to her rooms, wondering if she would find her husband at his desk. It seemed like every time she entered that room these days, that was where she found him and it sometimes took a lot of urging to pull him from it.
 
Gaisse smiles softly as he holds Lily close enjoying her presence. "How can I help you forget my dearest wife." He smiles letting out a soft tender laugh. "I dont think I will ever tire of that thought."

-----
Lund sits at his desk pouring through a few new papers that have been laid on his desk. He sighs softly not hearing Kiana enter the room as he reads over the papers shaking his head. He turns to dig through a few of stacks on his desk trying to find another paper that will help him.
 
"Wife...." the word left Lily's lips with a happiness unlike any other. "I am. I am your wife. And you... are my husband." It was like the realization was at last hitting her for the first time. "That alone is enough to keep my happy. Just call me wife a bit more."

-----
Kiana shook her head. Him and that desk. One day she was going to make him forget about that desk. Oh did she have a plan in her head for that desk but her growing form left it impossible. It left lots of time to plot. In the meantime, Kiana moved about the room to get herself ready for bed. She was changed into her night dress and everything before she realized he did not even notice she had been there the whole time. Sighing she came up behind him and kissed the side of his neck, "Come to bed love..."
 
Gaisse smiles softly as he nuzzles her cheek tenderly. Moving his lips to her ear smiling softly. "You are my wife Lily. My sweet loving wife." He kisses her cheek softly as he wraps his arms around her slowly. "Wife." He nibbles on her neck softly as he closes his eyes for a moment.

-----
Lund really doesnt notice that Kiana is in the room looking moving around and changing herself. With another sigh he runs his fingers through as he begins to make a note on the paper. He looks up as he hears her voice blinking a couple of times. "Bed? W..when did you get back love? I thought you were going to visit Sarah for a few hours."
 
Kiana laughed and put her hands on her hips, "I did. And then I returned here and I've been here for a few minutes already. It has been hours love and now it's time to put down your pen now and come lay yourself down with me." Kiana tugged his arm. "We must get a few hours of rest before we must wake to bid your sister and her new husband a fond farewell."
 
Sighing softly he smiles when she tugs on his arm. "Father has been pushing more duties on to me love. I promise Im not trying to neglect you." Another sigh comes from him as he sets his pen down on the paper. He stands up slowly his back aching from having sat so long. "I had no idea things could get this complicated and yet feel like Ive accomplished nothing."
 
"You have accomplished much today," she told him with a smile as she helped him to undress and prepare himself for bed. "You have made your sister insanely happy. She might not should it but I can tell. You have given her her love, her life, and her freedom. Your father never would have been as kind to get as you have been this night." After he was undressed, she moved away to climb into her side of the bed.
 
His fingers run through his hair again as he sits on his side of the bed. "Father is going to be furious if he ever finds out the truth. He and mother wanted a large grand wedding for Lily." Turning slightly to face her his eyes squinting softly as he thinks. "DO you think we truly did the right thing for LIly my love?"
