Cain grabbed the ring and ran as fast as he could to catch up with Az but couldn't find her. Out of breath he rested against the main enterance door of the castle .Not knowing it was open ,he fell in. He got up and brushed himself off. He heard cries that sounded like Az's cries. He had heard her cry in her room all the time when she thought noone was around.He followed her cries to the kitchen. As he entered he saw she had already ripped off her jewels and her poofy dress. Broken glass was everywhere. As he looked at her he saw something that shell shocked him. A bulge in her belly. " DG's not the only one pregnant is she?"
His voice startled her. She nearly jumped out of her skin. She wanted to lie, heck she had been for the past two months.She was scared on so many levels.She couldn't lie no more.She nodded her head in shame. " I'm sorry."
Cain hugged her. She noticed he had the most biggest smile on his face and his eyes were positively beaming. " Don't be sorry. How much longer till I meet him or her?"
She sighed the biggest sigh of relief, as if the weight of the O.Z. had been on her shoulders and finally lifted. " Five more months till she's born."
" She? It's a girl?"
" Yeah. I had Raw check me out. I wanted to make sure neither of us had traces of evil. Anything left over from the witch. Raw said the baby is so full of lightness. He said my guilt was the only thing left in me. Cain, I gave the orders .I'm responsible for tearing your life apart. Nothing you say or do will make me think otherwise. Take the baby when she's born and get away from me before I destroy her too."
" You may have played a part in destroying my life but you have played the biggest part in ressurecting it. You given me this whole new life . I actually look forward to getting up out of bed or staying in bed with you. At least now I know why we haven't touched in quite some time. You told me you wanted to be courted the old fashioned way.I thought ,yeah, she's a lady and deserves to be courted like one.
I have a confession to make. I've been feeling guilty because I wasn't drunk our first night. It takes six beers to get me drunk not three. I've had a thing for you for awhile but you always found ways to make sure I could never talk to one on one. I thought you didn't find me attractive inthat way until you admitted it was guilt that made you avoid me. I know what I'm about to say is a little out of character but you've given me your love and now our daughter.You would destroy me again if you left and I don't think I could recover this time. I wouldn't want to. "
She finally smiled. " For a man known not to talk a lot. That was a lot."
His eyebrow raised and a warm smile appeared. " Plus nobody boils my blood more than you. No one is more stubborn than you. Not even your sister and that's saying something."
" The making up part is always the highlight of my day."
" Woman the things you say." Cain kissed her.She smiled.
" We have Jeb's blessing?"
" Yes, which comes with a interesting story but that's for another day."
" Really? I look forward to that. You can stop feeling bad about our first night. You weren't the only one faking , faking drunkeness I mean. Red wine doesn't effect me no matter how much I drink of it. "
" You little seductress ."
" Who? Me?" Az said innocently then burst into laughter. Finally she calmed down." I believe you were gonna put a ring on my finger before I ran. "
He put the ring on her finger. " Just so you know, Az. I'll always catch you when you get scared and run. "
They embraced. Cain asked her between kisses." That's...a...yes...you'll...marry...me...right?" She nodded her head yes. He looked down at her belly." Your mommy said yes!"
