Disclaimer: It's not mine! don't you get it yet Geez i love ya REVIEW -LDoQ
Wait I've been hit! No, not like that...I DO own something, Arete the healer, a pack of gum, and
exactly one pencil. oh, and paper so I can write. No wait that's my dads. oh well...
A/N: I could use some help here, I know what you're thinking. *That's obvious* but seriously.
How do you know, when someone is flirting with you? I'm mean I think he is, but...I'm not sure.
It seems like more of a grade school thing. in fact on the stairs the other day(at school) he came
up to me and said "catch me!" and i had no choice but to do just that. I want out to the bus and he
walks behind me kicking my feet. He shuts my locker. he comes up behind me and puts his hands
over my eyes... one problem. He used to be dating a friend of mine and he dumped her two saturdays.
I don't know. I don't think I like him but... Help! I so mixed up I haven't written in forever. e-mail
me(put love, or help, or answers as the subject so i know what it is and don't just delet it) if you
have anything to say to a mixed up fool. My e-mail is chit_sk8er@yahoo.com. Also, this little situation
started a while ago, so that might explain my shitty mood 2 chappies ago...Yea, e-mail me!
And if I don't hear from SOMEONE I'm going to be mad maybe even pissed. this is serious! Plus no
one e-mail me last time I wanted help with th bold-italics-underline crap ok i'm dense, so why not help
me? +sniff, sniff+ I'm starting to think you don't care...
A/N: Taming the Lioness is oh hold sorry, but I'm still working on George's story thankie for your
patience! -LDoQ
CHAPTER TWELVE
Squire Keladry; Mother?
Shutting the door firmly behind her, Kel, paused to gather her tumbling thoughts. After a
moments hesitation, she changed into her nightdress lazily discarding her clothes to the corner.
She seized her glaive from the wall and started a simple slow pace pattern dance. No sooner had
she warmed up and her speed increased, there came a knock on the door. Which went totally
unnoticed by Kel with her deep concentration and heavy breathing. Her back to the door, Kel
gave no regard when the door opened and Arete, the healer, walked in.
"Lady Keladry! What are you doing?" Arete demanded fiercely.
"I've got to keep in shape. Plus, this helps me relaxe, and keep control of the situation."
Kel replied honestly.
"Really!" Arete exclaimed. "You'd think that you'd learn. You were just sick, practically
dead, you had an extensive healing; that just about wiped both of us out. Then you spent all the
day today, busting you back, and now look at you!" Arete was astounded that Kel's body had
lasted so long.
Kel stopped her pattern dance and attempted to control her rapid breathing. "I'm just
fine." She protested.
"That's what you think," Arete stated taking possession of the glaive and setting it aside.
The young healer the led Kel over to the bed and tucked her in. Kel, whose day of hard work was
finally catching up to her, didn't object. Once Kel was settled, Arete placed herself at the end of
Kel's bed.
Kel laughed to herself. "I know, for some reason, I should probably already know this,
but who are you?"
Arete smiled. "I'm the family healer. I joined your home a little over five years ago. I, as
was mentioned, was also the one that brought you back this last time."
Kel nodded. "Okay, I get it. Why are you here now?"
"I just wanted to see how you were handling things." Came the answer. "I know it's hard
but you have lots of support."
Kel was completely lost. "Handling what?" She asked puzzled.
"The child." Arete answered easily. She had just assumed that Kel already knew about it.
It was her body after all.
"What child?"
"Is there an echo in here?" Arete questioned with a amused smile. Then she became serious.
"You `do` know about the baby?"
"What baby?!" Kel was flustered. *What's with all the mind games? Does everyone `want` me
to go crazy?*
"Lady Keladry..."
"I'm `NOT` a lady!" Kel interrupted.
"Oh, but you are." Arete protested. "Anyway, ^Squire^ Keladry, I don't know how to say this, but
you're with child." Kel stared at her. "Do you know who the father is?" Arete persisted.
Kel nodded, letting it all sink in. Cleon. "How could I let this happen?" Kel demanded furious with
herself.
Arete smiled oblivious to Kel's angst. "Just think of this as the Goddess' blessing."
"But it's not! Not when your training to be a knight! Not when you're unwed! Not when you're only
seventeen! Larent! That bastard!" Sadly, Kel put her head in her hands. Then she felt Arete's cool touch
soothing Kel's weary thoughts. Gently Kel lay back in bed and relaxed the tension melting away. Kel looked
intently at the healer.
"Just a small healing." Arete assured. "So you don't fall to pieces."
"Too late." Kel grumbled.
Arete patted Kel's shaking hands. "Sleep. That is what you need." Arete, unaware of the fact Kel was
upset with her news, grinned as she left. "Sleep well, Lady Squire Keladry." She paused before closing the door
behind her narrow frame, and Kel distinctly heard her whisper so no one passing in the hall could hear, "Mother..."
A/N: I believe, that that isn't a cliffy, but I could be wrong. More to come someday. Sorry this was later than was
planned.
A/N: +Tisk, Tisk, Tisk+ what is out poor innocent, well I guess she's not that innocent. OMG! Please
tell me that didn't sound like Britany Spears. (YUCK) I couldn't handle that. Oh that's a terrible thought
+hits head repeatedly with fist+ OUCH! get out get out. oh I gotta go brainwash myself. Review. I could
really use some cheering up now. Oh and don't forget my above problem. +shudders, and walks off+
Yeah! Anti-Twinky!
