A Determined Love - Outcomes
******************************************************
Selenay moaned lightly as she began to wake. A movement beside her caught her attention. 'Where am I?' she thought to herself groggily. Something brushed up against her - she woke up with a start. Two arms held her in a close embrace.
'Two arms?' she thought trying to piece together what had happened. Vaguely she remembered nothing but being happy for the first time in many years. She turned in the arms that held her and came face to face with the man she had begun to fall in love with. 'Oh God.' She thought as she looked into his violet coloured eyes.
"You're awake." He said softly looking away shyly.
"Mmmm. Get a good night's sleep?" she asked bashfully.
"Mmmm." He said quietly refusing to look at her. Reluctantly he released her from his warm embrace sitting up. Selenay frowned lightly and delicately slipped her arms around his strong neck.
"What's wrong? Did you regret what happened?" she asked afraid.
-------------
"Do you regret what happened?" Jamie asked the long - faced Leon.
"I don't know what to think." Leena said still stunned.
"Weren't you the one saying you wanted her to marry Dad?" Leon asked her irritably.
"Yeah. I just didn't think that - " Leena trailed off.
"What that they'd go that far?" Jamie asked her.
"Mmmm." Leon said staring off into space. "I don't want another mother - especially one that's going to be younger than me."
"She promised not to." Leena said uncomfortably.
"Promised not to what?" Leon said looking at his sister sharply. "You talked to her about marrying Dad?"
"Yeah. She promised that she wouldn't be a mother to either of us. She wants to purely to keep it as friends." Leena said shifting uneasily under her brothers piercing stare.
"Leena. They get married and she'll legally be our mother. What makes you think she'll keep her promise to you." Leon said stubbornly.
"Because I know she wouldn't. Just because you don't like her it doesn't mean you have to make Dad's life miserable. That's not fair to him especially after all the trouble he's been through with those horrible women." Leena said angry at his insinuation.
"Believe me Leena I want Dad to be find someone to be happy with. But I don't feel comfortable with the thought of Selenay being the one who'll take Mum's place." Leon said quietly.
"She'll never take you mum's place. Just like he will never take the place of her fiancé. I know for a fact that Sel would never try to take on the role of mother for that pair of you. She's got enough on her plate with looking after her brother's twin sons." Tali's voice cut through the heavy silence.
"What?" Leon said looking at her confused. Leena and Jamie both focused on her.
"She had a fiancé?" Leena said stunned.
"Yes. He died about four or five years ago in an unsanctioned zoid battle. It was hushed up. She was devastated. She only started dating about 18 months ago." Tali said quietly going over to Leena and giving the stunned girl a hug.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Leena said hurt.
"She never speaks about it. It hurts her to think about it. She had never told anyone - she doesn't want their pity. I shouldn't have told you but I believe it's essential. I think the relationship is going to get serious. She'll most probably tell Doc and you two before it goes deeper." Tali said gently.
"Really?" Leena said looking at Tali seriously.
"Yes. By the way. Don't tell her anything. She'll most probably go into detail about what has happened. Ok?" Tali said equally serious.
-------------
"Why didn't you tell me this last night?" Doc asked her quietly.
"I wouldn't have been able to." Selenay said tears glistening in her eyes.
"Why?" Doc asked.
"Would you have been able to tell me about your wife last night?" Selenay said evasively.
"No." Doc said understanding dawning in his eyes.
"See. I wouldn't have been able to tell you about him." She said quietly looking out the window.
"I'm glad you told me." Doc said quietly.
"Really?" she said looking at him.
"Doesn't make me love you - did I just say that?" Doc asked in shock.
"I feel it to. But it's different from the love I shared with him." Selenay said looking him in the eyes.
"It's different from the love I shared with Telia." Doc said softly stroking Selenay's long black hair.
"I can't believe this - " Selenay said leaning into his strokes. "I never thought that me of all people would be able to fall in love with somebody so different than - "
"I know what you mean. You are opposite to Telia that's for sure." He said with a light laugh.

End of this chapter. A bit weird I know but I'm trying to get it started off again. Just bear with me.
BTW- I do not own anything to do with the original zoids storylines and do not claim to otherwise.
