Chapter 7

One Year Later

Raye carried her son to the kitchen as she feed him. "Poor Kal." She whispered as she flipped open her text books. She began to write her final term paper when there was a knock on the door. "Hold on!" she called putting her shirt completely on and repositioning Kal. She carried him to the door. She opened the door and saw her high school professor. "Sir, um, this is my son, Kal." She said letting him in. He saw her text book open on the kitchen table.

"Did I interrupt your studying?" the Professor asked as the water began to steam. Raye hurried to the stove.

"Not at all, sir. Would you like some tea?" she asked as she turned it off and moved the pot. The professor looked around.

"Where's the father?" he asked making Raye drop a cup.

"Um, he's in Africa. On business." She said, bending down to pick up the cup. The professor picked the cup up for her. He set it on the counter as Kal began to cry. "Excuse me." Raye said taking Kal into her room. She changed him and laid him down for a nap. She walked out and shut the door silently. "I'm sorry, sir, Kal needed tending She said quietly as she shut her books. The proffesor wrapped his arms around her waist. "Sir?"

"Sh, my fire bird." The professor whispered in her ear.

"Only one man has ever called me that." Raye sdaid turning in his arms. "And that was Kal's father. Isn't that right, Jeadite?"

Jeadite changed back into his normal form making Raye smile. "Your reaction to my question, nice."

"It was a true reaction. Jeadite, please don't leave me again. It hurts everytime that you do." Raye said laying her head on his chest. "Kal needs a father."

"I've been watching you Raye. You go to school then come home to Kal. You don't need this lifestyle. I'll stay." Jeadite said stroking her hair. She smiled and hugged him. "I love you my fire bird."

"I love you too." Raye whispered. He lifted her face and kissed her gently. She responded.

He pulled away. "You need to do your homework. I"ll go check on Kal." Jeadite said. RAye smiled and sat down. She began to do her homework as he walked into her room. He picked Kal up, who kept sleeping. "You are a prescious little thing." he said kissing his son's forehead and craddling him in his arm as he carried him into the living room. Raye looked up from her Algebra and watched him for a second before returning to her last problem. After figuring it out, she shut the book and poured some tea for the both of them. She carried it into the kitchen for him and set it on the stand. She sat on te rug faceing him. She sipped on her tea as she watched him with Kal. "He's an angel when he sleeps." he saud.

"I know." Raye said getting up. She carried her now empty cup into the kitchen. "I delevered him with all of my friends there with me, in this very temple. I wanted it. I wouldn't want him to be born in a hospital." she said as she washed the cup and put it on a towel to let it dry. She turned to see Kal awake and lookingat Jeadite curiously. His face began to contort. She hurriedly took himfrom Jeadite as he began to cry. "Ssh, baby Kal. Ssh for mommy." she whispered as she rocked him gently. That made him content. He gripped to her shirt.

"You're good with him." Jeadite said watching her. He patted the seat next to him on the couch. She sat next to him. She began to feed him as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. SHe laid her head on his as Kal got his fill. She fixed her shirt as Kal fell asleep. She fell asleep next to Jeadite.

The next morning, Raye woke up, alone on the couch, smelling food cooking. She sat up and saw Jeadite at the stove. "What time is it?" she asked yawning.

"9. Don't worry, I called the school and took one of your leave days for you. You really need a day to catch up on sleep, that's why you slept so well last night. I wasn't about to move you." Jeadite said as he set the table for two. "We're going out today to enjoy some family time."

"Thanks, I geuss." Raye said looking in on Kal. "He's out like a light. What's you do to him?" she asked.

"I sang to him, amazingly. I did it so that he wouldn't wake you." Jeadite said as he served the food. Raye smiled.

Raye sat at the table. "Thank you." she said as she sat downand waited for Jeadite to. She looked at him and down at her left hand. She noticed a second ring on her finger. She looked up at his smiling face. "Let me geuss, today is the day that we get married." she said.

"Yes." Jeadite said motioning for her to eat as he did. Raye ate the food slow enough to taste all of it. She finished and took care of her plate as Kal woke and began to cry. She set it on a towel and dried her hands off as she walked to her room. She picked him up and began to feed him as she pulled out some of his clothes. Jeadite watched her lovingly and protectingly from the door as shechangted their son after he was done feeding. Next she got dressed in a simple white gown and intricatly did her hair. "You look gorgeous." he said kissing her forehead.

Raye picked up Kal and said, "Thank you." as she walked out of the house. She turned and locked the door. "Habit." she said as they began to walk to the park. Jeadite's arm was wrapped around her waist as she kept checking on Kal.

"He's fine. Stop worrying, mother." he whispered in her ear making her smile. They stopped in the middle of the park and turned to eachother, looking in eachother's eyes. Jeadite took her head in his hands and kissed her. She responded.

Serena saw this as she sat with Darien. "Can you believe that? Jeadite is back and their making out in public, with their baby!" she said.

Darien smiled. "True, but you can tell the they love eachother and would do anything to be a family just by looking at them." he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Serena laid her head on his shoulder.

"Like us, huh?" she whispered.

"Yeah, like us." Darien said kissing the top of Serena's head.

Raye walked the rest of the way through the park with the toughts of the kiss on her mind. She was so consentrated on the kiss, she didn't realize that they were at the church. "Raye." Jeadite said bringing her back to the earth and making her see wherre they were.

Raye smiled. "I geuss it's time." she said as she took the second ring off of her finger and gave it to Jeadite. "You'll need this to complete the ceremony." she said before they walked into the church.

One of the followers took Kal from Raye as she was prepared for the breef ceremony. One put a veil on her that matched her simple gown and another handed her a bouqet. Her red ring stood out against her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror when Serena walked in. She turned around. "I'm only missing one thing and that's my maid of honor. Would you fill that spot?" she asked.

Serena smiled. "If it'll make you happy." she said. The group of followersgot her ready. Raye and Serena looked at eachother for a while before they left the room. Serena slowly made her way down the aisle as Raye's veil was pulled over her face. She breathed and walked down the aisle towards Jeadite, slowly. She made it to him, through the ceremony, and smiled as Jeadite slid the ring on her finger. They kissed passionately. They walked into the sun and kissed again. Raye took Kal from the follower and they went home.
