(Kane's POV)

I was so embarrassed when Ria's parents and mine started to laugh. Ranger and Kivan laughed too. Benny just sat back in his chair and grinned at us.

"You've got good taste, Kane" was all he said, making my dad and Ranger laugh even harder. "Nice going kid."

Then of course it got even worse, just like I had known it would.

"Ria!" her brothers teased. "What have you been up to then?"

"Ria loves Kane!" Fortuna chanted. "Kane loves Ria!"

"Ria!" Crystal called out, making us all laugh. I reached down and picked her up, trying hard to ignore the comments.

"Kane and Ria up a tree" Vince began dancing around the living room amongst all the wrapping paper. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Luckily, before he could finish, the doorbell rang and in came Billee, Legolas, Wendy, Colan and Elrond. Vince stopped his singing and threw his arms around Legolas. The blond elf laughed and picked him up.

"Happy birthday, Kane" Billee said with a smile as he and the others handed me yet more presents. After watching me opening them, they went into the kitchen where mum, dad and the others had gone.

The rest of the afternoon was brilliant. All of us kids, Crystal and Galia included, played with my presents in the living room. In the evening we had my birthday cake and then Jaime took Ria's brothers and sister home. I couldn't help noticing that Jaime did not look happy.

(Emma's POV)

While all us adults were in the kitchen, Wendy said that she had an announcement to make. When everyone had fallen silent, she told us that she was going to have the baby and she was going to give it to Billee and Legolas. She also shocked us by saying that Benny had agreed to be her doctor and monitor her throughout the rest of her pregnancy. That was something that I had not seen coming. Legolas and Billee then told everyone that they were planning to get "married" just after Christmas, although for obvious reasons, they did not mention any of the wedding plans. Then, deciding to strike while the iron was hot, Damon and I revealed our plans to get married again. And although she said nothing, I could tell that Jaime was not at all happy with this news…
