Thanks for reviewing
I own nothing but Star.
"I HATE BORS!" Vanora screamed as she was pushing her eleventh bastard into the world.
"Come on Van the babe is almost in the world." Star said holding her sister in law hand.
"It hurt so much." Van whispered to Star as she prepare to push again.
"I know. I know. You can hit Bors later for this but lets get this babe in the world." Star said wiping sweat of Van face. With on last push the latest bastard entered the world and went into Vanora arms. It was a baby boy and he had a set of lungs just like Bors.
"Hey baby boy." Van said to her baby. "Your my eleventh and I'm sorry if you don't get a name. Its your dad fault."
"Do you want me to get Bors?" Star asked as the Midwife cleaned everything up.
"Please." She said as the baby quieted down. Star walked out of the room and went to find Bors. She found him in his Hut he shared with Van with Tristan and the bastards around him. Bors was telling a story about how Tristan and Star got married. Tristan sat their eating a apple and holding number 8 in his lap.
"Bors." Star said as they story ended with Tristan and Star dancing around the fire. "Its a boy." Bors jumped up and gave a big whoopee and ran out of the room. The children started to dance around the hut an singing Its a boy its a boy.
"Auntie Star?" nine asked he was only three.
"Yes Nine?"
"Can we see him?" he asked holding onto her breeches she changed into before going to Vanora.
"of course!" Star said picking up the child. She smiled down at him. He grinned back up. Tristan stood up still holding eight in his arms.
"Come on, little ones. Lets see your mama." She said herding the children with the help if one. Tristan was no help because he kept tickling eight. She glared at him. He just gave her his innocent look. She rolled her eyes and left the hut with children following her. Tristan following up in the rear with eight. They walked to the Mid- Wife Hut and when they got their the rest of the knights were their already. Everyone did double take to see Tristan holding eight and that eight seemed happy in his uncle arms. Tristan flicked them off behind the children back. All the knights grinned at the thought of Tristan holding a brand new baby in his arms.
"Come on little ones. Lets see your new brother." Star said glaring at the knights. When the children and Tristan entered the knights started to follow, she turned around, "You can stay out here."
"Hey!" Galahad who started to protest but shut up when he got the glare from Star.
"Your whipped BOY! And she not even your woman." Lancelot said hitting Galahad.
"Your all whipped." Star said from inside the hut. They looked around and nodded at each other in agreement. They WERE whipped. "You can come in now." Star said her voice floating in the wind. The entered the room smiling.
Last days of freedom
"There is the bishop," Arthur pointed across the plain to where a carriage traveled surrounded by guards. Suddenly out of the woods a group of woads burst out.
"And it seems we've arrived right on time," He added before charging of down the hill. Star followed suit and started to kill those who tried to sneak up on the knights. Star could see that we had the advantage. Gawain was just killing a woad. He wiped blood of his cheek as he looked at me.
"trying to save our arses again," Star mock saluted him and dismounted walking up to where Arthur had a woad at sword point. He said something Star didn't catch. To everyone's surprise Arthur sheathed his sword and spared his life. He turned to face everyone. Star and Tristan noted hostile looks from the Romans.
"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Star muttered to Arthur eyeing of some of the burlier guards. He just walked off with out saying a word.
"Fine. Some ones in a bad mood." Star found her brother tormenting the bishop's assistant priest. She caught the last of what he of what he said.
"Blue demons that eat Christians alive. You're not a Christian, are you?"
"Bors," Star called, "stop." The bishop insisted on continuing on riding his horse. Star didn't deliberately let her horse walk along side his but somehow it did. He looked curiously at here. Star was the only female in the party.
"A fighting woman," He asked with contempt in his voice. He thought less of women obviously.
"Only when needed." Star said looking over her shoulder to Tristan and winked. He rolled his eyes and went ahead the group.
"Healing?" he asked with a eyebrow up.
"Whore." Star whispered. Bors and Galahad snorted into their hands. "Not to Bors though. I'm his sister."
"He let you do that?" the bishop asked.
"He the one who started the whole thing. Sold me for 2 shilling when I was fifteen." Star said batting her eyelashes. Bors looked outrage and amused.
"For a few coins I could be yours as well."
"I am a holy man," He spluttered out.
"But still a man," Star said teasingly. Gawain was trying to suppress a giggle.
"I'm very dedicated to my celibacy vows!" He insisted.
"Sure.. just like the pope!"
"STAR!" Arthur yelled.
"You must be tried perhaps you should rest?" Star said before going to Arthur.
"Yes dear old commander?" Star asked.
"What were you doing?" he asked looking at her wearily.
"Nothing." Star said innocently.
"Whatever it is. Stop your husband is back. Go torment him for now." Star grinned and rode next to her husband but not before giving the bishop a wink.
Gawain patted me on the back and congratulated me for my efforts. Tristan raised his eyebrows at his wife while she looked innocently at him.
The knights had been having a conversation about freedom again.
"So what are you going to do?" Dagonet was asking Bors.
"I'm gonna drink until I can't piss straight." He replied with a big grin.
"You could never piss straight," Dagonet added as a side comment and everyone laughed.
" I know... too much of myself to handle," Every one turned to look at him, "It's a serious problem! It's like a..."
"...Baby-arm holding an apple!" everyone recited. Apparently this was a continuous joke. Galahad was suspicious.
"Why does he not discharge us and have it done with?" He asked the others.
"Romans, "The can't so much as scratch their ass with out holding a ceremony," Gawain answered on behalf of everyone and we all nodded our heads in agreement.
"You'll miss killing when you get home," Bors said sobering the mood immediately.
"I don't kill for pleasure. Unlike some," He cast a look at Tristan. Star smiled at her husband and somewhat surprised at what Galahad had said.
"You should try it some day. You might get a taste for it." Tristan replied indifferently.
"It's in your blood, boy," Bors pointed out.
"Oh no. No. After tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory," Galahad insisted. There was silence before Gawain broke the mood.
"The first thing I'm going to do is marry a beautiful Samaritan woman."
"Why do you think we left," Bors asked. Star made a noise in her throat while Bors said sorry to her.
"You?"
"Well, if this woman of Gawain's is as beautiful as he claims I expect to be spending a lot of time at Gawain's house. His wife will welcome the company." He replied a cheeky grin on his face
"I see. And what will I be doing?" Gawain asked a sour look appearing on his face.
"Wondering at your good fortune that all your children look like me."
"Is that before or after I hit you with my axe?" The others laughed at this. Lancelot caught my eye.
"I guess I'll just have to settle for Star then," Star eyebrows shot up.
"Lancelot, the best offer was made awhile ago. You missed your chance." The knights yelled their approval of her reply. Tristan smiled at his wife lovingly.
