Chapter 9

Poor Elena, was suffering morning sickness and laid in bed with her dearest and adoring husband when he finally came in to check on her after meditating with Wolfjade which tealana had assumed to be still meditating. Patiently awaited outside the door and lightly knocked on the door, which was opened by their child.

"Hey, mummy and daddy in?" tealana asked the shy terrapin tot that just ran to his parents side and she stepped inside, poking her head in the doorway. "Oh, I'm sorry. Is this a bad time?" she asked, sheepishly.

"Not at all, tealana. You can come in." elena smiled, Leonardo kissed her temple and gathered their children as he left the room. "Oh elena, you look awful. Can I get you some water?" she offered.

"No thankyou, tealana. I have some water here." Elena tiredly smiled again, tealana exhaled softly and walked to her side then sat down. "I know, what you want to know. And yes you can ask whatever question you want." Elena informed kindly.

Tealana was over joyed and opened her pad, ready to begin writing. "I promise the questions won't be too personal." She assured. Elena chuckled and replied. "That is fine. I know you wouldn't ask those questions anyhow, otherwise you'd asked already."

Tealana realised that elena was quite intelligent and quite inspiring as she also realised this is why, Leonardo fell for her so quickly. "What is the best qualities you found about leonardo when had first met him?"

"When we first met, I was shocked to what I had witness of his appearance as I never knew or believed the city had awesome souls like leo." Elena paused, then leaned over to hurl as her morning sickness got the better of her for a moment. Tealana quickly assisted her, comforting gently. "Sorry." Elena apologised.

"Don't be. Pregnancy isn't fun." Tealana smiled assuring. Elena smiled and grasped her hand gently. "Thankyou, you are so sweet. Hopefully you will find your hero." She winked. Tealana smiled and chuckled. "One day, at a time. And I'm sure he is out there somewhere."

Tealana resumed with the interview. "As we were discussing, you said that you never knew or believed the city had awesome souls like leo, is that correct?"

"Yes, correct. As I was saying. Leonardo, rescued me from the purple dragons when I went to find my friend's killers at the time and I got over my head, unaware that I was unprepared for what would had been the end of my life at the time but if it weren't for Leo, we would never have this wonderful family and this bundle of joy on the way." She said, happily as she caressed her swollen belly.

"What is the best things about Leonardo you love about him?" tealana curiously asked, smiling. "Leo, is the sweetest and the most kindest man I've ever known. The best husband a wife could ask for. Before I realised, he would give me a flower. Every day as a symbol of his affection for me and still brings me one to this very day." Looking to the blue rose that stood in the vase on the dresser.

"The romantic type, eh?" tealana asked. "Very, at first he was shy and he would tremble as he'd hand me the rose and I try not to giggle at the cuteness of his blush when he did and that was he kissed me." Elena smiled, remembering their first kiss.

Tealana smiled with a aww glance she couldn't resist to mew. "Aww, that is romantic. I'm getting all mushy inside."

Elena chuckled and continued, whilst tealana took notes and then finally. The interview was over. "Alright, we are done here and I will leave you to rest as I assume dear leo and your adorable little children are on their way back to see you. So I will chase up wolfjade and ask her about mikey. Thankyou for the chat, and sharing your story. It was absolutely beautiful." Tealana wiped the tear away as she smiled.

Elena smiled and nodded, then said. "I'm happy to share it. Hope to get to read your article when finished."

Tealana smiled. "Of course, soon as I get it together. Edited and printed, you will get to read. As I know you will like every minute of it. Tootles elena. Get well soon." She gently hugged her then kindly walked out as she squeezed past by Leonardo and the children as they returned. Lightly patted the children on their heads with a smile as they clung to their father and he smiled happily.
