Chapter 5- The Morning After
Hunter and I were sitting on the porch while our two little darlings played on the swing set. Our little girl had corn flower hair and piercing green eyes; our little boy had brown hair with deep hazel brown eyes.
Beep Beep Beep Beep. Coming back to reality I slammed the snooze button on my alarm clock. It had been a wonderful dream. The way I pictured Hunter and my future life. It was 9:00 am. All the worries about having to tell my parents about the big news came rushing back, hitting me like a ton of bricks. Hunters calming spell had worn off. Damn. I trudged out of bed and headed for the shower.
The warm water felt so soothing, calming my nerves. I don't know why I was so worried about my parents reaction, it was probably because they don't realized how close Hunter and I have grown. They know nothing about murin beatha dans. Although I know she believed in soul mates, she found my dad.
I steped out of the shower and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Do I look different than I did yesterday, now being engaged to be someones wife. Am I any different. I examined my face every little blemish, freckel, my long brown hair how it fell down my back in thick wet strands. The shape of my unclothed body, my nonexsitant curves. Am I different, to me I look like the same old Morgan. But I do feel different......... Yes I am. I am different not physically, except the smile that crossed my face everytime I thought about being engaged to the one person I could never live without. But i am different none the less. I know that I am loved not that I didn't before, I have started to move towards the next stage of my life.
I threw on a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and realized that had started to get holes in the knees, hey maybe it will come back in style, I let out a little laugh. I slipped on my cloggs and jacket as I ran down the stairs practically tripping down the stairs. I was out the door, I fumbled a bit trying to put the key in the lock of my whale of a car. It was starting to get cold so my fingers were refusing to cooperate. Finally I was in. With a little resistance to the cold Das Boot started up, I turned on the heater and was off to Hunter's.
I couldn't wait to get to his house. I missed him, although it had only been a night. Latley it has been harder and harder to leave him at night, but soon I wouldn't have to. We would live together forever. I messaged Hunter *Hey sweetie, I'm on my way i will be there in about 10 minutes.* A few seconds later I recieved a comforting but sleepily reply.
*Ok love, I will see you in a few. I'll have tea waiting, its pretty cold out today.*
He always knows just what to do. Just then I had that strange feeling again. I need to stop worrying about what my parents are going to think. It would be nice to get their blessing but I don't really need their permission.
As I drove up to Hunter's house I cast out my senses. Good it was just Hunter his dad wasn't there. I mean it isn't that I don't like him. It's just that he doesn't seem to completly trust me, because of who my father is. A shiver went up my spine at the thought of my father. Hunter was already waiting in the door way to greet me. As I walked in the familar smell of herbs and candels welcomed me. In the living room Hunter had a fire going and to mugs of tea sitting on the coffe table.
I sank into the old worn couch along with Hunter and he handed me a mug. It was so warm and soothing, a perfect mix or calming herbs. He knew I was nervous. I turned and faced Hunter. His eyes were so full of love. He leant in and embraced me and his lips met mine with a deep passionate kiss. All of a sudden my stomache started to turn, I felt like I was going to be sick. I got up and ran to the bathroom. Luckly I just made it to the toliet befor I threw up. It was weird how I so quickly I felt sick. Hunter knocked at the door are you alright love. Between heves I sweaked out "I think so." But of course he didn't believe me and came in. He sat on the side of the tub next to me and held my hair back.
Finally I felt like i couldn't throw up anymore an felt better. Hunter handed me a cup of water and a towel. I washed my face and rinsed out my mouth. I really need to get a handle on my nerves.
"Are you ok my Love?" Hunter had a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah, I think so. I guess my nerves had got the best of me and then the tea finished me off."
"Well love, have you eaten anything to day?"
"No" in the rush ot leave the house I had completly forgotten to eat breakfast.
"Well then I will go and make you some toast. How does that sound love?"
"That would be great thank you."
"Ok why don't you go and lay on the couch while I make your toast."
Hunter walked me in to the living and layed me on the couch and went in to the kitchen. I felt much better after throwing up, but I don't understand why I got sick. It must have been nerves and the tea. Yeah that was it.......... I hope. This realy isn't the time to be getting sick.
Hunter came back in carring a plate of toast. I took on and started to slowly eat. And he sat down.
"So, are you up to discussing how to tell your parents now?"
"Yeah, I am better now."
"You sure." I nodded.
"Ok, Well I was up last night thinking about it and I thought that we should just have them sit down and I say that I love you very much and have asked you to marry me. And that I would like their blessing. It is that simple. I will do all the talking. Actually I am starting to get excited about telling them."
"That sounds like it will work, as for the excited part I would have to disagree. But it does sound like the best, simplest way to tell them. And they will know that we are not asking for their permission but blessing." How does Hunter always seem to know the right thing to do.
"See love, I told you there was nothing to worry about. Hey do you want to have a small circle, to help you calm your nerves and feel better?"
"That sounds like a great idea." I never turned down doing a circle. I always felt great and centered after. And Hunter and I's little private circles were always the best.
We got up and went to the circle room. Hunter drew a circle in chalk and purified it with salt. He set out the four elements and invoked the goddess and gods to bless our circle. Then he started. We held hands.
"Goddess please send your calming energy, help us in our difficult task we have today." I started to feel the energy rise around us. Wraping us like a blanket. We threw our hands up and offered our energy to the goddess.
"How do you feel now love?"
"Much better. Thankyou for everything."
"Of course you are welcome. But I would do anything for you love! You know that."
"Yes, I know. But still thank you.
He leaned in and kissed me on the forehead. I started to feel a little sick again but as soon as it came it was gone. I looked at the clock and it was 11:30. My parents would be home in another half an hour or so. So Hunter and I decided to read for a while on the couch. Of course he knew just what to have me read. He was always giving me a lesson. It was funny. He was reading about magnetic energy fields and powersinks. While he had me reading about candle and herb magick. I thought it was kinda basic but hey didn't hurt brush up on it.
Next thing I knew it was 12:30. My parents were defianatly home now.
"We should probably get going to your house."
"Yeah let's get this over with.."
I talked Hunter in to taking two cars in case he needed to make a quick get away.
I put my coat back on and we headed to our cars.
A/N: I hope you like this chapter. Don't you just love the cliff hangers. Why is Morgan getting sick, hmm I wonder? How will her parents react to the news? Hee Hee Review and I will post the next chapter as soon as I can!!!!
