Chapter 2: Love Is in the Air

"Are you sure you're okay, Sweetie?"

"Yes, Mom. Stop worrying. Everything will be fine." Sonia told her worried mother, Maria, for about the 100th time.

"Well, incase you need anything, anything at all, you know where we live." Maria assured her daughter.

"Yes, I have only lived with you for the first 100 years of my life." Sonia informed the older dog demoness with a roll of her eyes.

"Oh, my little girl is growing up!" Maria said with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, stop."

"You know, soon you'll probably be starting a family of your own." Maria told her daughter.

"Mother!" Sonia said surprised as a blush crept up her cheeks.

"Alright, c'mon. Let's go find out what the boys have been up to." Her mother told her before walking out of the small cottage.

Sonia looked around the small room with a sigh before following her mother out. This was her new home as of today.

As they arrived closer to her father and Alex, her father could be heard clearly saying:

"Now take care of my little girl."

"I will, Sir." Alex replied.

"And don't you let any harm come to her." Scott, her father, added.

"Dad," Sonia said stepping up next to Alex. "I can take care of myself."

Alex grabbed Sonia around the waist, bringing her closer to him in an embrace. "You have nothing to worry about. There's no way I'd ever let her get hurt." Alex reassured her father as he rested his head on her shoulder.

Scott smiled at the two and then looked down to his own wife, Maria. "Well, then that's all I could ask. Thank-you, Alex, for bringing my child so much happiness, and for promising to keep her safe." He then sighed, his age showing through, "Well, we best be leaving."

"Yes, we don't want to intrude any longer and it seems as if you are both moved in." Maria agreed with her husband.

"Oh, you're not intruding one bit." Alex reassured them, being the gentleman he always was.

Maria laughed kindly, "Well, either way, we will leave."

"Bye Mother." Sonia said giving her mother a hung before turning to her father and doing the same. "Good-bye Father. I'll miss you both, but I will see you soon."

As soon as all the good-byes were said, the old couple left the new couple by themselves outside their new home.

"Oh, I thought they would never leave." Sonia sighed in relief as her parents disappeared out of sight.

Alex laughed amused, "Really? I was hoping they would stay for dinner."

"Alex!" Sonia giggled as she gave him a playful shove.

Alex continued to chuckle as he allowed himself to be pushed away, but then he brought Sonia back to him and kissed her deeply. When he pulled away he wiped her lime green hair out of her soft, blue eyes. "Well, now they are gone, Sweetie. And it's just me and you." Then they kissed again, leaning on and holding each other for dear life.
