Chapter 2 Friends
Disclaimer: I own nothing...this chap starts a couple days after chap 1
If Kel's friends saw that Kel smiled more or talked more than she used to they said nothing not wanting to bring up anything that might cause her to go back to her hole. "Neal what did you say to her?" Merric asked wondering allowed when Kel was out of earshot. Neal didn't hear Merric his own thoughts were playing in his head. "Neal?" Neal looked up and around finally meeting Merric's eyes. "Oh sorry 'bout that Merric I was just... thinking," Neal said a small smile appearing on his face. "Don't doubt that Neal not for one second. But you and Kel are happier, what did you say to her?" "Hopefully something that our friends wouldn't say, just, something that I would." "Have you been writing more of your ummm, poems, lately."
Neal ignored Merric, at least Merric knew that something was going on. When they stopped for the night Neal watched Kel, who was off looking into the distant woods. Neal went over to her quietly and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Neal, what will we tell them in nine months?" Neal looked down at Kel's small but strong form. "Whatever you want us to tell them, Kel." Kel looked up at him her eyes steady. "I want them to know the child's Dom's but that yours will be on the way later," Kel said thoughtfully. The phrase didn't click with his mind automatically but after a moment he realized what she was applying. "Do you mean it? About mine? Kel if you don't want to," he was cut off by a warm but short kiss on the mouth. Kel smiled up at him and went to help Merric put up one of the tents.
"There's something different about you Kel," Merric mumbled trying to figure out what it was. "What are you implying Sir Merric?" Kel asked with a small smile on her face. Merric watched her his mind wandering over the past several years. "Well you don't have your mask on for one. And now you're smiling. I think of you as my sister Kel, so I'm worried about you." Kel pushed him rather sibling like before rolling her eyes. "If you really want me to have my mask on again, I can always put it back on." Merric shook his head watching as Neal looked over at them. "No, that's okay Kel, we all like you this way, especially Neal." Kel looked behind her where Neal was healing a cut on Tobe's arm. "Also I can stop smiling you know I've done it before. And when have I ever asked you to worry for me, don't, I'm perfectly capable of caring for myself." "That's what I'm afraid of," he mumbled as they finished putting up the tent. "What was that Merric, I missed it?" "Oh nothing." "Your nothings always mean something Merric. I'll find out sooner or later." "Sure you will Kel sure you will."
