Stark POV.
God, I loved my wife. She has given me everything I could ever have wanted, and now she's pregnant and now she's making my life more enjoyable as well. She worries about pointless things (in which I comfort her) and her hormones are making her so temperamental. Just yesterday she was having another argument with Aphrodite and The Twins telling them they aren't allowed to dress the baby 'like a retard'. The Twins and Zoey got annoyed and elements started swarming round the house, it was at this point Aphrodite left and Darius and I stepped in.
The things she does are so funny to watch and how she acts completely surprises me; and I hate being away from her.
I left her in the bedroom asleep while I got a shower and will wake her as I leave to help out a student from my archery class. The kid had come and knocked, rather loudly I might add, on the door at 3pm. What the hell was the kid doing up this early?! We have no windows on the corridor me and Zoey stay on so I knew it was safe to go out but I took my time as I threw on some pants, quietly telling him I'd be 2 minutes.
He wanted me to show him how to sort out 'the thing.' I have no idea what he could mean but I suppose I should at least try and help. When the sun has gone down, obviously.
I quickly finished up in the shower and threw the towel around my waist and stepped out, and damn it was cold! I quickly dried off and walked into the bedroom, with the towel on obviously, to wake up Zoey and get changed.
To my surprise, she was already and this sparked my curiosity.
"What are you doing?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her from behind and kissing her neck.
She turned around in my arms. "I am getting our clothes ready, unless you intend on walking around here naked?" She asked playfully.
Well, that was a surprise. "I don't intend on walking around anywhere but here naked," I mumbled as I leaned in to kiss her on the lips but she dodged me and ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind herself, giggling like a school girl. "Damn you, Zoey Redbird Stark!" I shouted through the door and heard a muffled reply of 'I love you too!'
I quickly got changed and sat down on the bed, pulling out a book to pass the time until I could leave the room. "Oh Goddess," I mumbled before sending up a message to Nyx.
"Nyx," I started. "Why have you done this to us? Well, not you obviously (being older hadn't changed how stupid I act) but why have we got this burden upon us? When we are needed we are unable to help because of the sun, etc. Nyx, I beg that you answer my question, please."
I lay back on the pillow and closed my eyes, only opening them when a burst of light fluttered over my eyelids. There standing before me was Nyx, and of course, she was replying to my question.
"Stark, my dear child!" She exclaimed happily as I sat up. "How could you ever think such a think? How could you think that you were still under this 'burden'?" She then asked.
"Nyx, I have no understanding of what you are on about so please, enlighten me," I snapped but then smiled to try and take the bite out of my words.
"James Stark, I knew you would turn out like this when you were marked," She smiled. "As for your enlightenment, your 'burden' was lifted on the five year mark of your vampire life; it will also happen to whatever red vampire lasts five years. You are able to leave in day light if that is what you seek then go forth, for you will not burn."
As I battled with my confusion her image started to waver. "NO, NYX!" I exclaimed to make her wait. "Don't you want to see Zoey for she will be here in a few moments?" I asked.
"Stark, she is the reason I am leaving. My best wishes to both of you by the way," She said and laughed before leaving.
The bathroom door opened and Zoey walked in laughing. It was the same laugh as Nyx.
"Did I just hear you talking to yourself?!" She asked curiously.
"Oh, no! I got a visit from an old friend; goes by the name of Nyx," I laughed as Zoey gasped in surprise. "Do you know Zoey that I am allowed to go in sunlight without dying, as is Stevie Rae?"
Zoey laughed out loud and flung her arms around my neck laughing. "Well come on then!" She shouted, running to put some clothes on. "We are going outside, and I am watched you teach, big boy!"
