Fiona found Hudson in the library struggling to read a simple book
"Hudson, what is wrong?"
"This... I don't think I will ever master reading"
"Hudson if there is one thing I'm good at, it's reading, and helping others learn to read." Fiona said
"Well lass, maybe you could help me" Hudson replied
"After what you have done to help me it would be an honor to help you with this" Fiona smiled
After a while Hudson realized that Fiona was a natural teacher, she had almost endless patients and a gentle disposition that made him wonder about the day when she blew her temper yelled at an elder from her clan and punched Demona.
Elisa had french braided Fiona's hair that night as she had wanted to change the style since she had changed a lot of other things in her life.
After a lesson in reading they went back to what Hudson was teaching Fiona, she had learned quite a lot in the time he was teaching her and he knew that soon she would be ready for what the future held for her.
A few weeks later and Fiona was at the point in her life where she was ready to find her mate. She sighed and gave the hemline of her dress a bit of a tug, she was so nervous, but she knew she had made the right choice.
"Brooklyn, may I speak with you" she said her Irish accent thickened due to her nervousness.
"Of course Fiona, what's going on..."
"I... I don't know what I should say, I guess, I've cared about you for a long time, and you've been there for me through so much, through my hardest times and... that is more than I could have asked for in a friend or perhaps..." she sighed "... perhaps a mate"
He smiled and guided her into his embrace
"Fiona, I want you to know that if you do want me as your mate I will make sure that nothing bad happens to you, I care too much to let you get hurt again"
"I do, I want you, I love you"
Brooklyn brought his wings securely around Fiona
"I love you too, Fiona, more than you'll ever know"
Hudson smiled as he walked away from where he watched through the crack in the door. Fiona was safe and in good hands
'Now only time will tell if the lass will have children that look like her and if she does, so be it, they will be fine additions to our clan, just like their mother'
The End
