Chapter 14: Spending Time With Baby/Taking Care of Buisness

How old is the boy?" said Fawn's dad. "He is a year old. I have his birthday here. Hang on a second. Ah here it is. This is his birth certificate." "Oh that explains why she wasn't feeling well that day. The doctor was trying to hide it cause she asked him too. Oh my baby girl. Where every you are right now. We are so sorry we didn't know." "I'm sure she will say its not your fault and she wanted it that way. Anyway since it was been awhile we should get going. Lycan I need to see you alone once we get back." "Sure sis. Is everything ok?" "Yes its fine."

We finally got back to the palace and I gave Arion to Jay. Then I took Lycan to the garden. "Lycan. My dear Elder brother." "Uh oh. Its serious when you say that. What did you do?" "Its nothing like that. But it is serious. I have something to give you." I pulled out a necklace and said, "The Evans Father isn't dead. He is just somewhere where he can't leave. You will be able to go there with this necklace and come and go as you please as long as you have this on you. If you don't and your there you will be stuck there. If you are here and you don't have it you won't be able to go in." "I see. So he is in that world." "You know about it then?" "Yes so he survived after all." "Yes he did. He also told me to tell you he is proud of you. He was sorry that he had to give you up. I told him what you told me and he was in tears." "Poor guy." "I would love to visit him when I have the time. I would love to see what he looks like." "Well you will be surprised. Anyway. You are the only one it will work for. Anyone who tried to use it, it won't do anything for them. Your biological father made it for you." "Oh well ok then. Thank you sister. Oh and congrats on the little guy." "Oh thanks I guess." "Now I have 2 other stops to make. I'll do the one here after I go see the bosses.

My father decided to let the bosses open up their business as long as it was around here so they can keep an eye on them. So the men were allowed back out so I didn't have to go far just to the village. I walked in and saw the big boss right away. "Oh princess!" He bowed. I nodded in acknowledgement. "What brings you here?" "Oh I have business with you and your little brother. Is he around?" "Yeah I'll go get him. Meet us in the office ok?" "Yes of course." So I walked to the office and waited.

A few minutes later they walked inside and the little boss sat next to me, the big boss sat in his chair. "So what is this business we have with you princess?" said big boss. Then I told them about Mr. Evans. And how he apologized to them and asked for forgiveness. "I see. We were kids back then so we didn't know anything. As for forgiving him we forgave him a long time ago. We knew something was off about him but we couldn't help him. As for my parents I am sure they forgave him as well. I just hope he forgives us for what we have done." "Oh he told me he did once I saw you again to say he is sorry and ask for their forgiveness on my behalf." "Oh of course we forgive him." "Thank you guys. I know I'm not the one that needs to be forgiven but I am crying his tears for him until I see him again. Oh as for that place I have a son now. He is my godson. He was Fawn's child. His name is Arion. Yes its with an A." He is one year old so if you want to come by sometime and meet him that would be great. He seems to like everyone." "Haha. Can't wait to meet the little guy. Oh by the way you can stop calling us boss if you want and call us by our names. My name is Ace." Said the older Boss. "My names is Lake." Said the younger boss. "Well Lake and Ace. I will see you guys some other time. I got to get back to my son now. Its so weird so say I have a son now. Wow!" "Haha good luck princess." "Thank you Ace." Then I left and saw Zee.

"Oh Zee are you busy?" "NO actually I was on my way home what's up?" "Come to the palace with me. I have someone to introduce you too." "Oh ok sure." So Zee followed me to the palace.

"Jay is in the Parlor." "Oh thank you Lycan. You always know what it is I need." So Zee and I went to the parlor. "Hello Jay. Zee this is Arion. With an A yes father is going to announce it soon. He is our son now." "What you adopted an elf child?" "Not exactly. Fawn left me this child. This was hers. His father died shortly after he was born so he was staying with other people until the next of kin came which apparently she labeled me as." "Oh wow. So I'm and Auntie now. Auntie Zee. I like it." "Can I hold the little guy?" "Of course. He is 1 year old." "Oh wow. Hey little guy." He saw Zee's hair and had big eyes. "Hehe he loves the color of your hair." "Oh yeah its different huh little guy. I was born with this hair. Since you are here I have something to tell you 2." Then I told them about their father and what he said to them. "Oh father. I miss you." Said Zee. "Hey its ok Zee. Your father thinks about you all the time. Guess what? Jay me and Lycan can visit any time we want. So we can tell him about what is happening with everyone." "Really? That's good." "I wish I could." "Yeah I Know." "I wish you all could. Too." "Well if you need to get home better get going. Do you got a man waiting for you at home?" "Hey who told you about Ace? I'm kidding. I'm sure Jay told you." "Yeah." "Its all good. Well good luck with the little guy. I'll bring Ace Over to visit." "By the way Zee, does this Ace happen to be a boss?" "Shut up." "No way! You mean Lake's big brother is your…" "Yes ok. Jeez I just love those bad boy type of guys. Plus he has experience in fighting he can protect me." "Uh huh. I'm sure that's not the only thing he has experience in." I joked. "Hey now. Child present." "Oh he doesn't know he is only a baby." "Hehe ok I better go. I gotta get things around the house done a little before he comes home. See ya Princess." "Bye Zee have fun with Ace." "Yeah yeah." "I can't believe it was that Ace." Then I hit Jay in the shoulder. "Why didn't you tell me it was him?" "Hey she told me not to tell you." "Fine whatever. Well I'm done with my business for now. I'm going to go find mom. Are you coming with me or not?" "Do you want me too? You seem mad." "I'm just being stubborn lets go." "Ok then."

I found my mom and she didn't look surprised. "Did dad tell you about him." "Yes honey he did. Can I hold the little guy?" "Sure mom." She picked him up and he smiled at her. Then he started laughing. "He is an energetic little guy huh?" "Hehe Yeah. Jay has been spending more time with him but I am sure he is." "Yeah that little boy can run." Said Jay. Then we all laughed and so did Arion.

My big sister and little brother came over to see what was going on. "Oh is this this little guy Lycan told us about? He is so adorable. He looks just like her." The she looked up at me. "Oh sorry sis." "Its ok. Jay you've got him right?" "Yes go ahead and do what you need to." Then I went up to my room and locked the door. I went to my bed and cried in my knees. "Why Fawn? You knew you had a kid and died anyway. Now he will never see any of his parents." That is when Talia heard a voice. "Oh Talia." "Huh who's there?" "Its me." "Oh so you finally showed up huh? Why? Why leave the child with me. Why have him to remind me that you have died?" "I'm sorry Talia. I couldn't leave him with my parents." "Oh that's the other thing. They wanted to know why you kept it a secret and why you didn't want them to be his guardian. Love the name by the way and everyone loves him but I am so confused. I also know about the involvement in a certain thing and that Jay is the only family member here that is involved." "Well not anymore. Talk to your brother Lycan about that also I need you to take me to my parents house tomorrow I want to tell them something. After I want to be alone at your house to write a note to my son in fact can we do that now?" I nodded.

I sat down at my desk got a paper and pen and wrote down what she wanted me to tell her son. This is what she wanted to tell him.

My dear little boy

You are probably going to be about 16 when you get this letter. You are 1 year old now. We are sorry we didn't get to see you grow up to the man we wanted you to be. Your father got to see you smile and open your eyes to this world. He got to spend one whole week with you. I wish I could have had that. I'm sorry son. Your father and I love you very much. Don't give your new mommy a hard time ok? I just hope you take after your father more than me. Don't smoke or drink too much ok? You can drink in moderation. I'm sure your new mommy and daddy can teach you those things. You will notice girls at some time and that's ok. Talk to your grandparents or your new daddy ok? We will miss you terribly. By the time you read this I would have been with your father for 15 years. Your new mommy and daddy are good friends of mommy's. We were like sisters. You will have new ones in the future so be good to them ok? Grow up big and strong for us ok? Its time for me to go but I love you so much we both do.

Love, Your mommy

"Are you sure that is all?" "Yes you will teach him what is right and wrong I am sure. Take good care of him ok?" "I will be around until I see my parents one last time. Now go see your friends and family." "Thank you Fawn." Then I went and apologized to everyone and my sister came and hugged me. "I'm so sorry sister. I didn't mean to make you upset." "Its fine. You actually did me a favor. Fawn came to me." Everyone was shocked. "Fawn Finally came? What did she say?" "Well she wanted to talk to her parents but tomorrow would be a better day she is off exploring somewhere until then." Then we all spent time with Arion until it was almost bed time. "Ok so how are we doing this bedtime thing?" "Oh at bedtime you can leave him with the maids." Said mom. "Ok sure." I took him down to where the maids hang out.

"Hello everyone. I'm sure its around the castle now. This is Arion. With an A yes. Father will announce it soon when he has time. We need you all to look after the little guy for us. Its getting to be bedtime." "Oh is it that time already? I guess it is." "Have a goodnight princess." Then I kissed the baby and told him I will see him in the morning. Jay came by and did the same. "See you in the morning son." "Hey Jay we need to talk to father about our marriage even more now." "I agree." We went to find my father. "Oh daddy. We have something private to discuss." "Ok sure come on in."

"So father now that we have a little one we were trying to think of a time to up the wedding." "I Understand. Well what about new year. The palace will be packed by then and its only 2 months away." "Well we will have a lot of work to do." Said Jay. "I agree. Lets let everyone know and while we are at it announce about Arion. We will do that tomorrow." "Ok thanks dad." "We left dads office and I hugged Jay in excitement. "Eek. I'm so excited. We finally get to get married." "I know. We have been waiting quite a while haven't we?" "Yeah." "oh sorry to have to put you to the wedding stuff for awhile. I have fawn business tomorrow." "Oh its All good. Now we should get to sleep. We both have some work to do tomorrow." "Actually." Then I whispered something in his ear and he blushed. "Ok well don't complain then." "Hehe I won't." So we went up stairs to my room and you know what usually happens up there when two lovers are alone any way skip that part. Then he went back to his room and we both fell asleep in our beds.

The next morning I was being woken up by my sister and my son. "5 more minutes." Then I heard a giggle. "Oh hello baby. Is mommy funny in the morning? Mommy is going to take you on a field trip today how does that sound?" He clapped his hands and blew raspberries at me. "Ok now. NO Raspberries at mommy. Or anybody ok?" Then he did it again and I put my hand in front of his mouth. "Oh ok whatever. I guess I better get up huh?" "Yes you have much to do." "Oh Jay told you." "No father did. Jay is too busy right now." "Oh yeah I got to get ready to go to Fawn's parents house." "Sister pick me an outfit. Oh never mind Fawn is here she can." "Oh she is here now?" "Yeah." "So Fawn which one?" "Oh this one is perfect on you." "Thanks. I'm going to miss spending time with you." "Like wise. I will hopefully be with my boyfriend up there." "Yeah I hope so to." My sister helped me put it on. We made a play spot for the baby while I get dressed. "Well all I can do with my hair is brush it since its short. Its getting longer but not long enough. Oh Fawn I am getting married on new years its two months away what type of dress should I wear? I want to wear what you pick since you won't be there." "Aww your sweet. I always like the A line dresses you wore at the balls the empire waist. Sweatheart neckline. Lace tank top sleeves make them thin." "OK sounds good. It's a good think it is indoors. It will be cold." "Hehe its always cold silly. It is called the snow kingdom." "Yeah I guess so." "OK buddy are you ready to see grandma and grandpa? Lets go." I went out and saw Jay. "Sorry I know your busy Jay I want to tell you I'm leaving to Fawns parents now." "Oh good luck." Then we gave a kiss on the lips and hugged each other. "See you later. Come back fast and help ok?" "Hehe I'll try." "Wow you are so in love." "Oh sorry Fawn." "No its precious. I hope Arion finds someone so in love like you two are." "I'm sure he will."

We went to the stables I talked with shimmer and we were off. We got to Fawns parents house and the door was open. "Hmm that's strange. Now I'm scared. Fawn check it out for me?" "Sure." Fawn went inside and was shocked. She came out and was crying. "What happened Fawn?" "My little brother and Father. They-they are dead. I don't know where my mother went?" "OK lets calm down. Lets go into town and find your mother. So we went into town on our horse and saw her mom just fine carrying groceries then I stopped her. "Stay here shimmer." "Yes." I took the baby with me and got her attention. "Mom! OH mom." "Woah what is it princess." "Oh is little Arion ok?" "He is fine but don't go home. Your husband and son are dead. I went to visit you on some business and saw your son and husband all bloody it looked like he was trying to protect him but couldn't. I'm so sorry." "No. I will get the Elder and get help with them. I don't want to see them like this. Thank you." So she went to tell the elder the situation then came back to me. "Thank you for telling me. You said you have some business. With me?" "Well if was for all of you but.." "Its ok. I am calm because in my line of work you have to expect things like this. on the inside I am not calm." "I understand. Then what I am about to tell you will help you cry it all out. Where do you want to go?" I want to go to my mothers." "Ok lets go then." So I followed her to her mothers.
