Hate and Hurt:

Sarra walked downstairs and sighed. It was wonderful to wake up like this. Knowing that in a couple of hours your daughter would be up, you would get her to eat breakfast, sent her to do her morning chores and then help plan her wedding to the man she adored.

Numair's parents and Weiryn were already awake. They were waiting in complete silence for their child to wake up so they would have someone to talk to. Sarra smiled and remembered when she found she was to have Weiryn's child. Then she had Daine and she fell head over heels for them both. They are her life the thing she never wanted to change. Now her daughter was getting married. It was the best thing to ever happen to Daine. Then they would have children and their children would have more children. The cycle would for forever. Sarra would be there through it all. He great-great-great-great-great grandchild would know the story of Daine and Numair and all of their other relatives. Daine and Numair would become gods after they died and Sarra would never have to let go of her daughter or son-in-law.

'Good morning all.' Sarra said. Weiryn looked up and gave her a soft smile. He really wasn't a morning person so it didn't bother her that much.

'I see your daughter is still in bed.' He said.

'A simple good morning Sarra, would do dear.' Sarra replied.

'Just a comment.'

'I'll wake her up in a while.' Sarra said. 'Are you hungry?'

'Yes Sarra.' Weiryn replied teasing her.

'You sound like your daughters mage.' Sarra teased back. Weiryn made a face at her. 'Come to think of it I'll wake her now.'

'I better get Arram too.' Nitasha said.

'How about we all go and wake them up. I'm sure they'd like that.' Sarra said cheerfully. She wanted Weiryn to get used to having to be around Numair's parents. Both men nodded ad followed them.

They walked up the stairs to the young couple's room. Sarra opened the door as quietly as she could. She let a soft smile spread across her face when she saw that Daine was cuddled in the arms of her fiancé. They looked so sweet together. She decided to wake them up nicely sense they seemed to be content to just sleep in each other's arms all day. She opened the blinds to one of the windows so that light shown on the couple. Nitasha gasped slightly.

Sarra turned to see a very unhappy look on Weiryn's face and Nitasha looked like she would love to scream. Daine whimpered in her sleep and moved closer to Numair. When Sarra looked over at them she saw why everyone was so unhappy.

The blanket that covered them both only covered their bottom halves of their bodies. Nether of them was wearing anything. Sarra to tried not to gasp. Luckily she was able to give Weiryn a don't-you-touch-him look before he tried to kill Numair. The mage's eyes slowly opened at the movement of his lover.

'Daine?' he whispered. He opened his eyes to a bright light and the fact that his fiancé was still asleep. Wonderful, he thought, I just got up for nothing. Numair rolled over and saw both of their parents standing there. Oh, well at least they've both seen us in bed together, he thought bitterly.

'Well at least we knew who's idea this all is.' Nitasha said. Numair let out a small groan form beside his mother. This was beginning to fell like it would go on for hours. He was going to kill Daine when she got up. How come she still got to sleep?

'Mother.' He groaned. 'I told you it was my idea.'

'Well it was surely your idea to marry a slut.' Nitasha replied. Numair sat up strait. What did his mother just say?'

'Take that back.' Weiryn threatened. 'My daughter hasn't slept with ever court lady in Tortall.'

'I should take that back! How dare you insult my son? He is a greatly-'

'Mother!' Numair cut in. 'Daine is not a slut. And I probably have slept with mostly every court lady in Tortall. But I love Daine. I want to be with her the rest of my life. Do we all have to have a problem with that?' He asked standing up.

'Yes!' Nitasha cried.

'No.' Sarra said. 'He's right Weiryn you know he is. He was in the prophecy. You can't change the fact that they have a love that no one can break. Just like we do.' Sarra sat down on Weiryn's lap. She looked him in the eye.

'I guess I can't take back the fact that I told you you could marry her. Fine. You win, but if she gets pregnant-'

'She won't' Numair said, just a little to quickly.

'Are you saying you don't want grand children?' Sarra asked the god.

'Not now.' Weiryn apparently realized that saying his daughter wasn't allowed to get pregnant was a bad thing to do in front of Sarra.

'I'm with him.' Numair replied when Sarra looked at him.

'Oh, go wake up Daine.' Sarra told him.

'Yes madam'. Numair bowed to her. Sarra shook her head. That mage is to perfect for her, she told Weiryn mind to mind.

Scary isn't it, Weiryn replied.

No, it's wonderful.
