Silent Apologies (Part 9)
-----------Extract from end of last chapter---------------
"Well..." He stuttered. "I would be...honoured if...if you...would" He rubbed his sweaty palms on his trouser legs and slid onto the floor in front of Kia. Realisation shook the girl as she shivered, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Kia...will you...marry me?" At his last two words he whipped out a box and opened it to reveal two platinum rings, both with red and blue tinted diamonds, entwined together in fancy pattern. His eyes met hers and they shone with hope. Kia gasped and flung her arms around the red head, shaking with sobs.
"YES!" She managed to choke out before slamming her lips down onto Tala's own.
--------------End of extract---------------------------
Tala and Kia fell onto the floor, Kia on top of Tala. Bryan coughed gently to get the newly engaged couple's attention. "Er...guys?" Karla muttered nervously. Tala suddenly stood up, pulling Kia up with him.
"Later..." He pulled Kia into their bedroom slamming it shut; another click was heard a second later.
"Great..." Tyson whined. "Now all we'll hear is howling..." He scowled.
A small sigh erupted from the babies mouth that lay on a low table. The young toddler rolled over and groaned. She sat up sleepily not recognising where she was.
"Hello!" She called out.
Hilary stood up immediately after hearing the call and ran into the kitchen. Rika giggled happily after seeing someone she recognised. "Come on you" Hilary picked Rika up and took her into the living room where everyone was spread out comfortably.
"Uncle Kai and Tyson!" The toddler glomped the young couple. The both looked at each other and smiled. Kai picked up the girl and passed her to Tyson who started playing with her. Kai watched on admiring Tyson's skills with children, slightly wishing they had one of their own. Karla sighed, slightly relived Rika hadn't glomped her. Bryan shook his head in the likeliness of the child and her mother. Suddenly a giggle was heard from the bedroom; everyone looked at each other and sweat dropped.
"I don't think Rika wants to know about what her parents are doing..." Karla smirked.
"She's pretty smart you know... another thing like her mother, she may act dumb but secretly she's a top student." Everyone looked at Karla shocked then looked at Rika.
"I take it mummy and daddy are doing what mummy dreamed about that time?" Karla giggled.
"I can't believe you actually heard you're mother dreaming..."
"What, she was awake; she zoned out and started mumbling to herself..." Everyone stared at Rika then shook their heads trying to get the mental images out of their head. "Well she hadn't seen daddy in years, I understand why she started dreaming..." Everyone's jaws dropped. Rika shrugged then crossed her arms over her chest and smiled as Tyson smiled at her. "I like uncle Tyson uncle Kai" Kai smiled.
"I do too" Rika giggled.
"I bet you do" She smirked. "I heard" Kai blushed as Tyson stared at the young child wide-eyed.
"What!" He spluttered.
"I heard" Rika repeated herself. "Do you want me to give impressions?" Kai blushed and hastily shook his head. Tyson almost dropped the said girl.
"Rika!" he gasped. Rika smirked then shrugged.
Howl.
Everyone turned to look at the door and shook their heads. Rika giggled. "Does daddy always do that?" Everyone smirked and nodded. "Can I tease him about it?" Kai's grin widened and he nodded. Tyson passed the young girl to her blood relative. Kai leaned back against the couch and pulled Rika down with him, pulling her to sit on his lap in the process.
Forty nine minutes later Kia and Tala appeared out of the room. Tala's hair was a complete mess, he growled as everyone smirked at them.
"DADDY HOWLS!" Rika grinned happily. Tala blushed.
"She heard?" He paled a considerable amount. (This is almost impossible for Tala ;-))
"She already knows about sex Tala" Tala turned to his fiancé shocked.
"What!" He gasped. "You mean to tell me you told our daughter that – mfpth" He was cut of by Kia slamming her lips down onto his. Tala accidentally fell onto a free couch, Kia landing on top of him. Kia grinned then turned to look at the others who were gaping at the newly engaged couple.
"What?" She giggled.
"You told your four year old daughter about sex!" Max gasped. Kia shook her head.
"No-o" She made the o sound longer to empathise the word. "I never said I told her..." Kia turned to Karla and glared at her. "Karla did..." Karla gulped as everyone turned to look at her shocked.
"Well technically I didn't mean to... she kinda walked in on..." She glanced at Ian who had gone bright red.
"Ah" Tala gasped finally getting it. Tyson and Kai snickered.
"You can just imagine it!" Everyone turned to look at Kai wide eyed. "No... I mean Rika's face when she walked in..." He chuckled causing Rika to yelp because of the vibrations.
"Uncle Kai!" She yelped and dove back onto Tyson who grinned. Karla and Ian stopped blushing and had turned back to their normal colour now.
"So-o" Kia ground the 'o' sound out. "When are you planning on taking my sanity" Kia grinned as Tala pouted.
"I'm not taking your sanity..." His pout got even bigger. "I'm just merely making a promise to be with you forever" Kia smiled and kissed him.
"Hmmm and what a fun forever that will be" She winked as Tala blushed.
A knock on the door caused their conversation to cease.
"Hmmm... isn't everyone we know here?" Kai questioned. Everyone nodded. Tyson nodded then walked over to the door, Kai close behind him.
He opened the door to reveal the White Tiger X team. The both paled at the sight of Mariah, both thinking one thing 'Oh o Ray...'
They both smiled and let them in.
"Hey what's up with Kai, he just smiled" Lee joked. Tyson grinned and pulled Kai into a mind blowing kiss. "Oh..." Lee's eyes widened, as did the rest of the team. "Come on everyone else is through here" Tyson led them into the living room. A tear slid down Mariah's face as she saw Ray cuddled up with Bryan.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO MY RAY!" She yelled causing Ray to wake up from his small slumber; he paled at seeing the pink fiend.
"Mariah..." He mumbled. "I was never you're Ray" His voice turned into a growl. Lee's eyebrow rose at the position Ray was in with his ex-enemy.
"So you're together?" Kevin asked; Ray nodded. "Cool" He smiled then sat on the floor. He looked at the two newcomers then the child who had climbed back onto Kai's knee. "So who are the new dudes?"
Tala smiled. "This is my fiancé Kia, Kai's sister, our daughter Rika" Tala pointed to the little girl on Kai's lap. "And our adopted daughter, Karla" He pointed at the blond girl who was currently engaged in a tongue war with her partner.
"Right, congrats Tala" Lee smiled and Kevin grinned. Mariah's expression changed a bit at seeing Kai with the child, he was playing peek a-boo with her. Tyson smiled, Mariah saw this and smiled, noticing the longing look in Tyson's eyes.
"You really do look cute" He grinned as Kai glared at him.
"Do not" He pouted. Tyson reached forward and pecked him on the lips. Rika giggled then climbed down from Kai's lap and ran over to his mothers.
"Mummy who are they?" The young girl asked. Kia smiled.
"You don't remember seeing them on TV?" Rika shook her head. "There Ray's old team, remember now?" Rika looked at Ray, then the new group of people and nodded frantically, she ran up to Mariah and glomped her. Mariah grinned and picked the girl up, relief showed on Ray's face as she forgot everything about him and Bryan.
"Aren't you just adorable?" She asked the little red head who giggled. "How old is she?" She asked Kia as she sat down next to her.
"Three, four in five months" Mariah smiled.
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but you really don't look old enough to have a three year old daughter... how old are you?" Kia smiled faintly.
"16" The corners of her mouth twitched as Mariah smiled.
"Hey don't worry about it; I guess you were in the abbey right? Their education wasn't very good, you probably didn't know" Kia nodded and smiled.
"I didn't" She sighed. The rest of the White Tiger X team smiled at her.
"Hey it's cool; no one thinks any less of you..." Kia smiled.
"Thanks" Tala smiled and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her onto his lap.
"Care for a seat?" He asked Lee who nodded and sat next to his sister.
"Thanks Tala, you really have changed, not as much as Kai though" Lee grinned at Kai's relaxed state, he was curled up, his head resting on Tyson's lap while Tyson stroked his hair. Kai smiled and snuggled closer to his lover who grinned.
"You really do look cute"
"Quit it" Kai growled. "Or no sex for a month" The White Tiger team blushed while everyone else giggled, including the little girl. The White Tiger X team looked at her wide eyed. Tyson yelped in response to Kai's remark.
"WHAT!"
"You heard me..." Tyson growled then firmly shut his mouth.
"She understood that?" Mariah gasped.
"Yeah, she walked in on Karla earlier this year" Karla blushed as did Ian, both being embarrassed again.
"Daddy howls!" Rika told the White Tiger X team happily. Tala blushed as the whole team turned to look at him, eyebrows raised. He coughed nervously.
"Rika..." He groaned. Kia giggled.
"Awwww you all embarrassed?" Kia grinned as Tala pouted. She slammed her lips down onto his and kissed him senseless. They parted panting. Then there was another knock at the door.
All eyes turned back to the door as it slowly opened to reveal...
Liah: Mwhahahaha I'm leaving it there at a cliffy! HAHAHA I'm evil
Kai: Damn right you are! Who the hell is there! And stop making me cute in your stories!
Liah: No –giggles-
