Morgan's POV:-
"Morgan, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you join with me in hand fasting? Will you marry me?"
I looked up, shocked and saw that Hunter was staring at me intensely, searching me. It took me a moment to process what he had just asked me. Oh my god! Hunter had just asked me to marry him. My head was spinning as I tried to think clearly. What was I supposed to say? Oh goddess, I didn't know what to do.
Hunter looked away, tying not to cry. No, no, no. Don't cry Hunter, I love you so much, don't cry. Suddenly, I knew exactly what to say.
I took a deep breath as one word formed in my mind. "Yes." Hunter looked up at me, hardly believing what I had just said.
"You are my m(irn beatha d(n. I love you and I always will. How could I say no to you?" As I was speaking, Hunter's eyes grew bright and he leaned towards me to kiss me. As our lips touched, Magick sparkled around us and everyone around us clapped.
I had forgotten that they were there and I guessed that Hunter had too, but we ignored them and deepened our kiss, pressing ourselves together until, eventually, we eased apart. Our breathing was shallow and my lips felt swollen, but I didn't care. I had never felt happier and I felt like I was glowing with love and Magick.
"Hunter. Aren't you forgetting one small thing?" Sky was looking at us bemusedly. We both looked at her in confusion.
"Huh?" Sky rolled her eyes and a few people laughed.
"Like..." Hunter prompted her.
"Like, oh, I don't know. A ring?" Hunter blushed and reached into his pocket. I was bubbling with anticipation as he pulled out a beautiful ring. It was a gold band set with a single diamond. Inside, the initials DN - FE 29/3/83.
"It was my mum's," Hunter told me gently. "She told me that she wanted me to have it when we saw her just now. My dad sent it in his letter and I got it today. He wanted you to have it too and I think it was his way of showing that we have his blessing." He smiled and slipped it onto my finger as tears of joy spilt from my eyes.
"Thank you." He wrapped his arms around me and for the first time, I looked around the circle. Everyone had tears in their eyes and Bree was sobbing into Robbie. Alyce was smiling wisely and I suspected that she had suspected what Hunter was going to do.
"What happened when you scried?" Erin asked with interest.
"We saw our future. We saw us together, holding our daughter." I didn't tell them that we already knew what we would call her. "When the scene changed, we saw my mother, Mauve and Hunter's mother, Fiona." I chocked back a sob and Hunter spoke for me.
"We talked to them and they told us we had to go back to where we belonged." We were all crying now. "Mum told me to stop mourning for her and Linden, to move on." His voice broke and I clutched him tightly.
"Mauve told me... she told me to help Ciaran with my strength. To tell him that she would always love him." I looked at Sky and saw that she was crying silently. "They told us not to question ourselves anymore, to trust the people we loved," I added quietly.
To my surprise, Alisa moved towards me and hugged me. "Ch... Charlie gave me a spell to remind me of something that had made me happy once." My eyes flicked to Charlie briefly. "I saw my mother, but it was a memory, not in the present. That night, I had a dream about her and she told me that I had done what I was supposed to. She showed me how proud she was of me in only a few seconds. Why don't we try that spell now. Not to see either of your mums, just to remind us of a joy in our life. We could all try it together."
I looked around the room and saw that most people were nodding.
A/N I want to do the next bit as a separate chapter. Need to keep you in suspense! What will Hunter and Morgan see? What will everyone else see? Review and I'll tell you!
