Chapter Ten

A Surprise

My Note: Hey guyz how is everybody? I am so bad ( I should get coal in my stocking ) I haven't posted a chappie for a while. Sorry. It's just that it's the holidays and I had to finish projects and I had tests and there was shopping and wrapping and homework and parties so sorry. Hey any of you peeps get homework over the holiday break. I did. My LA teach assigned a book report (barf) I mean come on its Christmas? We're supposed to be opening presents and sleeping in not doing homework. My sis didn't even get homework. (Well mind you she was sick all week) Now I have a question. Why is everyone complaining about me having modern things in my story. Where is this cuz I can't think of anything besides some of my jokes. And yes I was mentioning my book report. Have any of you noticed how a teacher and a book report can make you hate books? I hate it cuz I am a huge bookworm (my legs disappeared last week as I was in bed)(heehee) Now enough of me lets get on with the story.



"Daine" the voice repeated. Daine looked around the room. Standing right beside Numair was the badger god, the duckmole god and her parents.

"Ma! Da!" Daine cried as she raced to her parents and threw herself at them. Then she went and hugged the badger and the duckmole.

"What are you four doing here?" Daine asked after she had gotten to her feet and stood beside Numair.

"We told you we'd come at the next holiday and visit you dear" Daine's mother said smiling.

"Festival?" Daine thought. "What is today's date? Ahh Winter soltice! (Don't say anything I didn't know what was the next festival so just use your imagination)

"So how have you been?" Ma asked.

"Umm... Good?" Numair said voice quivered. Daine knew what he was thinking. Did they know they were betrothed?

"Anything new with you two?"

"Weengaged" Numair said quickly.

"What dear, I couldn't hear you. Speak slower "

Numair gulped. "We.Are.Engaged"

"What!"

Daine didn't want to hang around for this but had to. "Mother we are engaged as you just heard. We love each other very much. I'm a woman now, (yeah right she's only 16!) he is a responsible man (Who can't keep his pants on when he liked a blonde, Men) and so what, if he's 14 years older than myself. Look at you, you got knocked up by a god, during a one night stand, and you weren't married. So there!"

"Umm Daine you didn't have to stand up for me. I am a grown man" Numair whispered into her ear.

"Sorry"

"It's alright. I appreciate it"

"I love you"

"I know"

"Will you two come to the wedding if we hold it during a festival and support us through our marriage" Daine asked

"Well we don't approve of it but yes"



A/n: Yeah I know it isn't long but whatever. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
