Don't own wot, sometimes I wish I did. This is not for profit, no matter
how much I need it.
Beneath the Mid-Morning Sun
A warm breeze blew across the meadow as Rand rolled over to caress Min's pliant body. Min held her eyes closed to embrace the warmth of the sunlight and the feel of Rand's hot skin next to hers. It had been a wonderful morning. Starting out for a picnic breakfast and ending up loving on the soft blanket in the mid-day sun. With his melancholy attitude lately she hadn't expected this from Rand. It seemed that he always surprised her when she least expected it, and it wasn't always for the better like this had been.
As he stroked his fingers over her smooth stomach, Rand felt a semblance of peace, but he knew it couldn't last. In his mind he could feel Min's contentment through their bond. He loved making love with her, when he could feel everything that she did, what they shared together. In the back of his mind the others were there too. Far to the north and very faint, but he knew he would be able to find them anywhere. What he was going to do about Elayne and Aviendha he hadn't a clue. Nor had he any thought to what was to be done about Min. So for the moment he was happy lying in her embrace.
Rand leaned over and kissed her neck. Min opened her eyes and studied the man above her. She truly faithfully loved him, and she didn't care to admit that anymore. Rand smiled down at her and took her soft lips with his own. Kissing him back, Min knew that she would spend the rest of her life with this man, if every morning could be just like this one. But she knew that it wouldn't, and she did have to share him and all. She didn't want to trick him into marrying her, she wanted him to want to. She did have a hidden card to play that Rand didn't know about...yet. But weather to use it was always the question.
"Rand, I know you've said it a hundred times, but why can't marriage be a possibility?" Min looked deeply into his blue/grey eyes and gave him a look that women are often fond of. Rand sighed, knowing he was lost is this aspect. "Min, I want to, believe me, but I can't. It wouldn't be fair to any of you and besides, I'm the dragon reborn, I can't go marrying just to leave you widows." Min was hurt, and he could feel how deeply she wanted to be his wife. He did want to marry her, but he would have to marry all three. Something he didn't mind much either, except that it could never be. He was going to die, and he could never bear hurting them more than he had to. The fate of the world rested upon his shoulders, and he couldn't afford to take risks.
"Woolhead, you're being a woolhead again." Min stated smiling tentatively. She didn't want to do this, but he was going to find out eventually anyway. "There's something you need to know. It might change your mind about the whole marrying idea." Min had sparkles in her eyes, and Rand could only wonder what kind of bombshell she was going to drop him. Then with another thought, Rand took in a deep breath and let out a long sigh. He hoped it wasn't what he thought it was. "Min, why didn't you tell me you were with child?" He leaned down again and pulled her up into a sitting position leaning into him. Min smiled, "Because I'm not, silly."
Rand gave her a puzzled look causing her to emit a low laugh. One he really liked hearing. "Then what are you talking about, Min?" Min shifted her body so that she was leaning against his chest. "Well, first of all, like I said, I'm not with child. but..." Rand gave her another look. "But what?" Min took a deep breath. "But Elayne is having twins." Rand sat there for a few minutes in silence. Min began to worry. "Rand?" She touched him face, causing him to look down at her. "Aren't you going to say something?" Her eyes stared into his and finally he opened his mouth to speak. "Min, this still doesn't change anything. You're all still in danger anytime you're around me. Espically Elayne now. Light!" He paused in his speaking to take a glance at their surroundings. It was almost afternoon, but the ward he had set around their picnic spot still prevented anyone from seeing them.
Suddenly Rand stood up and pulled Min along with him. Min was incredibly confused now. Her plan seemed to be working, but it wasn't leading to more 'comfort' like she had planned on. She watched wonderously as Rand took a leaf off of the tree and changed it into a warm yellow sunflower with the power. He looked into her deep brown eyes and pressed it into her hands. As she pulled it up to smell its beautiful fragrance, Rand began to kneel before her. Her eyes went wide, as he took her right hand and said the words she had always dreamed of hearing one day. "Min, my heart. I cannot offer you a life of happiness, or even a home it seems. But you have my heart, always. Will you be my wife."
He just looked to sweet and innocent there down on his knees that Min couldn't help hiding her smile, nor the tears forming in her eyes. "Rand, of course I will be your wife. But not only me, you have to marry the others as well." Rand smiled and pulled her down to him meeting her with a wonderous kiss. He kept her there most of the day, laughing with her, kissing, making love. She was his betrothed.
So, what do you think? A little too sappy perhaps? This was just a little thing that came into my mind the other day. Please R/R! What's Rand going to do about Elayne and Avi? This should get very interesting.
