A/N Thank you reviewers!
I'd like to address a few messages to individuals before I begin:
Arwenevenstar- Thank you for your kind words. I have read Night's Child but I didn't like Hunter and Morgan being separated for that long so I wrote this. Thank you for your confidence.
Wake-Robin- You have reviewed for a while now so thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Witches_Kat- Don't worry! We missed your reviews but I'm glad to have you back. Thank you for saying that I describe things well. I've always liked describing people but I have to force my self to put in description of places!
Rhainnan_Star- I'm glad you are enjoying my story as much as I am enjoying yours. Many thanks.
Sorcha_Naesse- Thank you! It's nice to see a new name on the list. You have been very kind.
Hands_Off- Don't kill me! Please! I'm trying to update as often as possible but it takes a while to write. You need to update story! I'm enjoying it and I want to read more but you haven't updated for ages.
Thank you everyone else! Hope you enjoy this bit as well!
Morgan's POV:-
I was shaking as I tried to catch mom and dad's attention. Hunter squeezed my hand and I blinked back tears as I looked at him thankfully.
"Mom, dad." I tried to focus on Hunter's warm presence beside me. "We have something to tell you." They looked up at me expectantly and I froze, suddenly unable to speak.
"Morgan and I wanted to tell you..." Hunter prompted. Everyone looked at me and beads of sweat broke out on my forehead. How were they going to react?
"We're getting married." I blurted out. Mary K. gaped at us, open mouthed and my dad lowered his glasses.
"Really?" I nodded meekly and I could see Hunter doing the same out of the corner of my eye. Mom's voice was stony. "Well I suppose you are an adult." She pursed her lips and a tear escaped from my eye.
She watched its progress down my cheek and then smiled. "I suppose congratulations are in order then." She beamed at Hunter and I.
Mary K. squealed and hugged me. "Wow, you're getting married." She hugged Hunter as well and then turned back to me. "Let's see it then."
"Huh?" I looked at her blankly. "Oh...." Suddenly I realised what she was talking about and extended my left hand. The diamond glittered and Mary K. examined it from all angles.
"Nice ring." She said finally. She moved aside to let mom and dad in.
"Glad you approve," I said dryly. Mom and dad both approached us and hugged me and then Hunter. As dad was shaking Hunter's hand and asking him about ideas for the wedding, mom had a closer look at my ring.
"This is a beautiful ring. I wonder where Hunter got it?" I smiled sadly.
"It was his mom's. His dad sent it to him with his blessings. It has their initials engraved inside it. Look." I slipped the ring off and showed her the inscription.
Once I had slipped it back on, I felt strong hands go round my shoulders. I looked up at Hunter and he smiled broadly.
"So where are you going to have you wedding? And when? And where are you going to live?" We laughed at Mary K. as she buzzed with questions.
"I think we'll wait for a while. I need to finish high school first." Hunter pretended to look rejected and then laughed.
"Yeah. We need to hold out till summer and have it in the nicer weather." He agreed. I watched him as he leaned against the table. I was so happy. He looked up at me and his eyes met him.
"Do you have any idea where you want to live afterwards?" I broke my gaze from Hunter's and looked at my mum. I shook my head.
"I wouldn't mind moving back to England but that's not fair on Morgan. She lives here. Her life is here." I looked at him in surprise. He was willing to sacrifice his happiness for mine?
Mary K. squealed in delight. "That's so cute! This is so romantic. I can't believe you're getting married!" We all laughed and she took a sip of her orange juice.
"I had a feeling this was going to happen," I looked at mom, shocked.
"What?" She smiled, but wouldn't meet my gaze. "Mum, how did you 'know' that Hunter was going to propose?"
"I... oh this is such a cliché... I had a dream," I stared at her in disbelief.
"You had a dream that Hunter and I were going to get married?" I couldn't help throwing out a sarcastic remark. "Wow, that must have been quite some dream." I struggled to control the threatening grin.
"If you must know, yes, I did. It wasn't specifically about that but I was standing by a river with your dad. It was a perfect day and we sat on the bank together. While we were sitting, a person in a flowing white dress approached and told us that we should be proud of you two, for your love was strong and unwavering. She disappeared and we sat for a while together, talking about what she had meant. We assumed she was an angel," I scoffed and she cleared her throat.
"After a while, we sensed that it was time to go and we stood up. The river faded and we found ourselves in a grassy field. There were lots of people standing in a circle, holding hands and I took the hand of the person next to me. When I looked up at the person, I saw that it was Mary K. Your dad was beside me and as I looked around, there were people I did recognise and people I didn't."
Hunter and I locked eyes. She had felt the spell.
A/N Okay so not a very big cliffy but still, enough to make you want to read on? *Smiles* Please review.
