Chapter nine: Surprises in Winter, and Babies in Summer?
****************************~@~****************************
We really didn't have a reason not to. We needed a night to our selves right... Then why do I feel like I'm abandoning him again. He walked me up to the dorms so we could change. I don't have an idea of where he's taking me. I keep asking him but he won't tell me. He said it's a surprise. But he did say that we were going to someplace special and then dancing but he didn't tell me where. Yet the way he smiled It seems as if he's up to something. I did however ask him what type of dancing only to be met with an answer of and what type did you do back in Florida. So I'm lost. I'm still not dressed yet I just came out of the shower and I'm headed towards the boys' dorm. I walked in and he was the only one there. "So you are gonna tell me where we're going or at least tell me what to wear." He gave me a funny look. "So I wont be over dressed." He chucked to himself
"Alright what were you thinking of wearing."
"You see that's the think I don't know. Should I wear jeans or a dress?"
"Um... a dress would place better."
"Okay, a dressy dress or casual or a simple every day dress or a going dancing in the salsa clubs"
"Um... not the simple everyday dress, or the dressy dress or the casual."
"Okay... What does that leave?...Oh, okay thanks." I walked across the hall toward my dorm and pulled out my black and dark red dress. The black one had small straps. It went down to my knees but split up the sides. It was the planer of the two.
The red one was a dark blood red dress had spaghetti straps it was very tight. The neckline came low and went down to a V in the middle of my chess. The dress was made of a material that felt like a mix of Egyptian sateen and silk. There was a lining to it that was the dark red color it cave it a simmer to it over that was a sheer black lace that had a pattern of roses. The bust was very tight fitting. But when it got to my hips it flared out to shape my hips and legs. The dark red lining only went sown to just below my kneecap then there was an inch or two of the soft lace. It came around in the front to another V towards my left leg. The lace was cut to look wavy and more open. The back was a simple square. My shoes were the same color. They were high heel sandals. There was a strap across my toes, that looked so small it seemed invisible. Actually the strap was a centimeter thick. But it was made to fade into my skin tone except a little thread of glittery red fabric. There was another strap like that along my ankle. I put on my big silver hoop earrings and my cross that was given to me at birth. It was almost like Chris's necklace only when I was little it was more of a flower. Now since my mother has died it has matured along with me and the petals have fallen away leaving and angel within the leaf wings spread she's looking straight ahead. Right after I discovered it she was looking down now she looks you in the eye. Before he hands were together in a praying position now there open and display a rock from the heavens. The blood of my ancestors wings. She is wearing a plane dress. Like she was about to burn at the stake like many of our kind did long before were shielded from the mortals. I put on the finishing make up and lipstick. On my way out I grabbed my wedding rings to put them on but then I remembered I wasn't married anymore. So I placed them back in my jewelry box along with all my keepsakes. I did grab my watch from the order. It seemed more like a bracelet than a watch but it did tell time. A few people walked in and asked where I was going. I paid no mind. I walked out and saw Oliver waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He was wearing a dark red shirt long sleeve tucked into his pleaded dress pants he looked nerves, but then he spotted me. His jaw dropped slightly before he smiled. He took my hand and kissed my check and softly whispered "Beautiful my darling." I took his arm and allowed him to escort me out of the common room. We were walking down the halls that were as cold as it looked outside despite the fires going everywhere. We both evaporated our coats my was leather that was cut to my knees. His was more of usual long cut. As we walked down people were still coming from different places before curfew set in. we met some slytherins, flinch and his joyous bunch that so graciously gave me catcalls. (If you can't taste it that's what we American chicks call sarcasm. not being rude grandma sarcasm) I noticed that we were heeded down to the dungeons before we left. I was glad I would be able to say good night to Chris before we left. It would put my mind at ease.
We walked up to the door and walked in as always. Just so happened Dad was talking to Albus and Minne. Dad saw us and his jaw dropped. He was holding Chris so I walked over and took him from him. The bid us hello Minne was surprised to see Oliver. I started caring him to the back room but Oliver spoke up "Let me Jade." I kissed the top of his head and smiled at him and handed him over. I turned back to dad and put my arms around his middle. He seemed most surprised but put his arm around my waist. Albus just smiled at us.
"Will you ever stop growing up Jade"
"No why would I wanna do that." I smiled a dreamy happy smile.
"Ah what a wonderful thing it is Jade to see you smile again. It's been to long."
"That it has." Oliver walked in and took my hand as i moved closer to them.
My dad just looked at us like we were up to something. "So Oliver what may I ask do you have planned for my daughter."
"Well dinner, dancing and what ever comes next."
"I suppose there is no need to push and farther since I doubt I will get a reply. But let it be known. I do NOT want another grandchild in the immanent future."
"Oh daddy don't worry you wont have another grandchild for at least nine more months."
"That's not what I mean."
I smiled up at Oliver who was thinking along the same lines I was. But children were going to something we needed to discuss further but we had agreed that if we were to have more kids they would all be small at or around the same time. Oliver started to guide me out the door. "I know that's not what you mean but nine months at least is al long a in the future of not having a another baby around I can promise. After all if we do have more little ones we would like them to be at least within two yeas of each other. Night all."
I said as I slipped into Oliver's arms to evaporate to wherever he wished to take me.
