It's the last chappie! WAAAHHH!

Also check out Ade's poetry at few weeks later we were packed up and ready to go home. We contemplated spying more but we weren't sure if Daine could shapeshift. She would need to get back to Corus soon.

"So Daine have you thought of names yet?" Sam asked

"Well we want names that go together. I mean not corny but something that starts with the same letter or like that."

"Well I've always liked the name Mina" Numair said

"My cousins name is Merla" Sam stated "I sort of like that together"

"You can keep that in mind but I have a feeling that you won't come up with a name for a long time," I stated "Especially with Mr. Fussbudget Pickypants here himself" she said under her breath smiling.

"Hey" Numiar said with mock hurt on his face.

The group continued coming up with names from Cara and Chandra to Zosha and Zola.

"Hey you guys I think I hear something in the trees" I said. But by the time we had stopped to listen better we were surrounded by a group of bandits from Sarain

"Oh great," I thought "I knew I should have taken those archery lessons"

"We won't hurt you if we don't need to but if you make any sudden movements we will shoot" The leader said while the rest of her "lovely friends" pointed their bows at us.

"Rayna?" Sam said looking at the leader

"Am I supposed to know you" she replied, clearly wanting to just get the money and goods and get out of there. The look of Sam's face was so hurt I got all choked up inside (A/N Sniff)

"Well generally people remember their childhood playmate, or maybe the person who saved their life, or maybe, just maybe their own sibling" Sam said coldly.

"Oh Gods Sam, I can't believe it's you! I never thought I would see you again"

They dismounted and ran together for a long embrace and I can't believe I didn't see this coming but as quick as a flash Rayna had whipped Sam around and had a dagger to his throat. Numiar took charge and made a magical barrier so the attacking raiders couldn't get in.

"Quick Sahnzi, transform to a stormwing," Daine shouted. "That way the arrows can't pierce you"

"We have to get Sam before they take the chance to kill him! I prefer my boyfriends ALIVE!" I nearly shouted at her.

"QUIET!" Rayna shouted through the barrier. "Now listen up! I won't kill Sam here if you fork over all your money and goods like food and your tents"

Numiar reached back and pulled out our bedrolls and the tents off of the packhorse. Then he reached into his saddlebags and pulled out a bag of money and took Daine's money off her mare too. When he handed all of this to Rayna. She glared at me and said "What about you don't you have any money?"

"Yeah right," I spat "I wish!"

One of her cronies was looking through the money bags to check and make sure Numiar hadn't put a mage trick on them and turned them to rocks. Rayna slowly let Sam go and get back on his horse

"Thank you," she said as pleasant as possible we will have to do more business some other day," she said with a smile. Then she and the rest of the raiders rode off. Numiar let his wards down and let Sam in. I wanted to transform and hug him until the worlds end but there is just again this small problem of clothing. So Daine dug through my pack and found a set of clothing and then a private clump of bushes to change behind. After I had my shirt and breeches on I went out and squeezed him so tight he thought he would stop breathing. So to fix that problem we decided to kiss, but I guess that doesn't fix the problem because you can't get much air that way but that worked well until Numair decided to spoil the fun by coming around the corner. He is such an overprotective person.

A couple of hours later we were back on the road.

"Numiar, since you gave them our bed rolls where are we going to sleep?" I asked.

"At an inn" He replied calmly

"In case you are forgetting you gave away all our money too" I said sounding annoyed.

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No he didn't," Daine interrupted "I'm willing to bet that all he gave them were illusion coins." She said.

Numiar nodded, looking smug. "The illusion coins will look, feel, and sound like REAL coins for about fifteen hours and judging as how they just dumped it in with all the rest of the money they had collected they won't notice it's gone until they want to spend it."

"You think you're soooo clever" I said. "That is precisely why I married him" Daine said moving closer to kiss him on his cheek.

"Hey! How come you get to kiss and we don't." I said

Sam turned to me and said, "Maybe it's the fact that your parents are married, have known each other for a long time or their having a baby or-"

"Okay I get the point, but I bet they got to kiss before they were married right. Whose side are you on anyways."

"Are you trying to say something here Sahnzi?" Numiar teased, "Do you want to take your relationship a bit farther?"

"I didn't mean it that way" I said indignantly "Not yet at least" I looked over at Sam and saw a shocked look on his face and Daine just started laughing hysterically again. I also think that she snorted.

Cont' from file 7

"Okay Daine your babies are perfectly healthy and coming along nicely, just make sure you don't shape shift but you should still be able to talk to the animals and that might encourage the babies along." The doctor was telling her. "If you or Numiar have any questions feel free to come in any time.

"Thank you. You have been so helpful. I'll be back for our next appointment." Daine heaved a sigh of relief and went to tell Numiar.

They had already started on getting clothing and furniture. They had two cribs and the bedding and Numair was painting the room so it was a pale green. He had put his foot down on pink. "I don't mind having girls but they are NOT going to be sissies who walk around all day worrying about their hair" Numiar said.

"Do you really think I would raise our children that way?" Daine replied with a smile.

"No I guess not" and he pulled her in for a sweet and tender kiss. "Call me selfish but I'm not going to have you all to myself anymore and I'm going to miss you." Little did they know that Sam and I were out side the door listening to their every word.

"Oh you'll have me enough, I've been meaning to get a lock on the door to our room." Daine replied with a mischievous glint in her eye. Numiar was just about to pull her in for another more passionate kiss when Sam and I burst through the door laughing.

"Oh Daine I will miss you so much." Sam said pulling me in closer to him.

"Oh Numiar, you'll see plenty of me" I said surprising him by kissing him right in front of Numiar. He was going to reply but we both were laughing so hard we couldn't catch our breath.

"How long have you been out there?!" Numiar yelled "How much have you heard?!"

"Enough to tease you both for about six months to a year" I said and we both dissolved into a fit of giggles again.

"OUT! GET OUT" Numiar shouted. Daine stood behind him hiding a smile under her hand. "What's so funny." He snapped when he saw her.

"They were. Why are you so upset? They were just having fun."

"Because they had the…the…the nerve to kiss in front of us AND(ITALICS) they ruined the moment."

"What moment" she asked

"The perfect moment to give you this." He replied softly pulling a small rectangular box out of his pocket.

"Oh… Numair… I'm speechless" she sighed pulling a diamond and emerald bracelet out of the box.

"I thought you would like it."

"You are too good to me. Now what about that kiss."

(A/N: Lily: I LOVE FLUFF!!!!!)

 "Sam, I am a genius" I said as I walked into his room.

"Why?" he asked.

"Are you doubting that I am a genius?"

"No I just…"

"Never mind I have the most brilliant plan." I stated. "We should throw a surprise baby shower for Daine and Numiar. We can invite all their friends and just have a good time."

"Okay. I admit it you are a genius." Sam said smiling at me. He walked over and put his arms around me. "I think I am the luckiest man in the world"

"Why?" I said knowing very well I was fishing for complements.

"Because for one I escaped the noose and not many can claim that, and my girlfriend is the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, and wonderful person in all of Tortall and the surrounding realms." He said giving me a kiss for each comment. Ahhhh bliss. 

"Well I could say the same thing except then I wouldn't be that. If that makes any sense." I said giving him a squeeze.

"It makes perfect sense. I don't think that I want the title of being the most beautiful person in Tortall either." Sam said with smile. "But, I think that even if I don't want that title, you still deserve this." He then bent down on one knee and pulled out a tiny object. It was a stormwing feather bent into a ring covered in a clear coating so I would not cut my hands.

"I got this from you when I first found you." He said. "Actually I got another and I thought I'd give this one to you. Uhh…. Any way to the point. Sahnzi, I loved you ever since I found out you were not a stormwing well actually since I met you but I loved you more when I found out there was hope…. Sahnzi? Will you marry me?"

A million thoughts flew though my mind and I only registered one of them. I swooped down and kissed him.

"I'll take that as a yes?" said Sam slightly faint.

"Yes." I said. Then Numair came in.

"Sahnzi! I told you how  I feel about you and Sam kissing. It leads to bad things." I didn't stop.

"Sahnzi!" said Numair. I broke off and said

"Numair, you and Daine kiss a lot."

"Well! Daine and I are married!" He was getting red.

"Well were as good as married!" I retorted.

"Abuo..suit..Blec…" Thunk! Numiar fainted and Daine just started hysterically laughing.

Epilogue-

  I was out side a room and heard two healthy cries. I breathed a sigh of relief. I rested my head on Sam. "Sure sounds healthy to me." He whispered into my ears. The midwife poked her head out of the door and beckoned us in. Numair, beaming said

"Here's little Nova and Neveah."

                    "Cara and Chandra" Said Daine. The looked at each other and said together,

"Cara and Nova"

"Chandra and Neveah" They tried again,

"Cara and Neveah." This time they agreed. They smiled. Cara-Chandra Sailiman and Neveah-Nova Saliman were the flower girls at our wedding.
