68. The Work has Begun. *

The next morning was...funny.

He didn't looked into my eyes all morning.

We walked to mothers to pick up our daughter and get on with our day.

" You still angry..? "

" ..I'm not angry, I feel violated. And you can't tell anyone about this. "

" Hmm..never. Stop pouting.." - I was already planning the next experiment but, it wasn't the time yet. " You can do it me? "

" ..I'm not sure I want to anymore love. " - shook his head with side to side, his hair slapping my face .

" Anyway wipe off the smirk, and let's g..no,no..don't, Common!.. grow up, God."

I kept playing with his ass and watched him ran away.

I wonder what other things, I can make him do?

I walked inside after him with a big smile and admittedly a little headache from last night.

I greeted everyone exchanging smiles with Demelza and enduring stares from Eli, who looked very hungover and grumpy.

" How could you let your sister drink last night? "

Mother stood in my way like an angry bear. I looked at Eli and saw her turning away. Traitor..

" Mother calm down..your daughter is a grown up. Besides, I remember you telling us stories about how when you were just 1..."

" Enough..go get breakfast. " - she used her authority as my mother shut me down and pointed the table filled with food. "..And those were different times. "

I sat down next to my fiancee and daughter who both ignored me...

I poked his forehead. " Have you turned her against me? "

" Dad told me you hurt him.." - she was busy with her necklace but, had enough to slander me.

Ugh..I hurt him?

It's funny how my entire body ached and I somehow hurt him...well maybe a little hehehe..

" He is a liar princess...think twice, before believing anything he says."

He turned to me with a playful smile and I quickly buried him with my kisses and our girl.

Alexander came in with some fire wood, Lucian close behind carrying two axes.

" Big brother, Olaf wants your help with something about the project he is working on."

" True he looked super excited..what does he work on? " - Alexander stacked the logs neatly and patted himself.

" Don't bother Alexander..it's a secret. "

I saw his raised eyebrows at my statement but, just ignored it, I won't ask again. He won't tell.

He wants some crazy surprise that apparently will benefit me and some mysterious oth..

" It's weapons.."

I looked at him, now with a big smile taking a bite of bread.

Just wait, soon you have to get up and show me that shapely ass.

" Weapons? But, we have those swords that we took..and also coin to purchase if you want something fancy. "

He shook his head. " It's not for me dolt..it's for you and some others..I'm not sure how many yet. " - he got up picked Ilianna too. " I'm going now. Princess be good and later, I hop in the city for whatever you like.."

" Jam Buns? "

That's my girl.

" Oh..more jam buns. Yay.. " - he turned to the rest of the room. " Anything for you guys want, make a mental note and tell me by the afternoon. "

Alexander and Lucian were getting ready to leave where they along with Zephyr and a lot more will spend the next few weeks.

Building.

" Brothers? I will join you at Metill's house once I'm finished . With a little luck we might..able to finish it early and get a start on the rest. "

He turned to me for a quick kiss and to hand over Anna.

" You too my love. If you forgot something and need just tell me."

" I plan to honey. "

I waited for my chance..but he was too smart and carefully left with his back pressed against the wall sneaking like an assassin at night.

Next time.

" He is so random.."

" An unknowable mind.."

I smiled at Alexander and Lucian naive laughs as they discussing his unpredictability while getting ready to leave themself.

I haven't saw granny again! The women is a rare sight these days.

" I can't believe the first house of the new residents are finished soon. " - my mother was took her grandchild and finally rested after cooking for an army with Miranda cleaning.

" Well we have a lot of people now Seline. You're son in law is also taking this very seriously from what I saw. " - Miranda took a well deserved seat as well. " Making my Lucian all serious. He even talking about wearing his hair.."

" MOM !! "

" Alright..sorry. Theres nothing be ashamed off, you had this hair forever now. "

I looked at Eleanor sneaky smile behind her cup and understood what must've happened.

It was her little push, for a new hairstyle.

Lucian always had long hair. There were points in our in lifes when it was longer than ours. He would never cut it willingly, he used little cloth stripes when fought to keep it in a neat ponytail.

" I think it's a right to cut it. Your long hair is a disadvantage in combat young Lucian. " - Alexander took the embarrassed boy and began with the lessons. " We might not be training for now, I'm gonna miss it though when it's gone..hahaha. "

He gently caressed his hair which was quickly slapped away.

" En- enough of this..big brother is already out there let us leave. " - he gave a shy kiss to my sister who was smiling like the devil.

Alexander kept slapping his back as they walked out.

We ate and soon everyone had thing to do.

Since the man left to build, Demelza wanted to clean her home and decorate it, with what she got from the city.

Eleanor went too see her girlfriends. I gone with mother and Anna, to help her feed our animals, mocked them out their homes.

I enjoyed the work. It felt like it was too long ago and Ilianna seemed to love the piglets. We all did.

Once finished we want to wash up, down the Sen.

Me and mother kept probing her with questions about her upcoming birthday.

She wanted her father, her new mother..I almost flew away.. and her family. That was all.

She was all over the place.

This is the same girl who, even after giving some away yesterday, have dozens of toy animals and dolls covering her double bed..

I could fit her in a potato sack.

It was my fault. I'll keep saying that Zephyr can't say no to her and look what I've done.

We went and changed. Left mother and Miranda making some cold lunch and went to see, how the work was going.

It was am incredible sight.

So many working like busy little ants. Zephyr was very right. The house was standing roof and all. It looked ready.

Others around it made serious progress as well, I can imagine in a few days they all be finished.

At least 60 people cutting wood, measuring and carrying things. One could literally see the village expanding in realtime. The most amazing sight?

My Zephyr there shifting about, carrying wood, furniture, tools..even people.

They were right.. look at him so serious. He was gone again leaving his students smile as the wind blasts them.

I wanted him to stay...but, he looked too busy.

I spotted granny in the distance talking with Metill elder daughter Setil.

" My babies! Hello.. "

" Hey granny...you look happy."

She was beaming. I guess things going very well.

I saw the playful expression on Setil face and knew, was right about the reason why.

" Mom..I'm going to play with the kids over there."

" Yes, go on. Keep an eye out sweetheart. "

She left running, joined her friends. She has them now, its still hard to believe!

Strong, beautiful and popular. Maybe, I worry too much and force them on Zephyr as well.

" You really are her mother now. " - felt granny hand on my shoulder and turned. " I think it would make Helena very happy, to see her baby so happy and cared for. "

" I hope so. Once again granny you were right.. she was the key to change him. I believe our entire life would be very different if not for her. "

She smiled proudly. " A large part Yes but..Love extended it's hand little one..and you reached. I'm very proud of you."

I hugged her felt very much satisfied with my life.

This..all of this.. it's destiny.
