I hope to clear this up- When Lancelot talks about putting it up on the wall it mean he putting a line on the wall to tell him how many women he had sleep with before he leaves. But he does not put married woman up their. Hopes that helps.
Thanks for reviewing but I barley got any!
I own nothing! AHHHHHHH! Lawyers RUN FOR IT! -hides under table- Enjoy the story awhile I hide!
"Hello!" Arthur boomed as a greeting.
"Happy Birthday old man!" Giselle said trying to get to give a hug to Arthur.
"Old? And how old are you?" Arthur asked coming over to her and giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Only twenty-five!" Giselle said smiling at her friend. Arthur laughed and greeted everyone else. He went to his seat but didn't sit down. "As you heard we have guest! From Rome!" Lancelot eagerly sat up straighter. Arthur gave him a sharp glance. "Captain Eric and his wife Ana." The couple entered and sat next to Arthur. "Too bad she married and too old for Lancey!" Giselle whispered to Amelia. Amelia put her hand over her mouth to stop giggling. You could see Lancelot slump into his chair. The knights were snickering at him. Lancelot were throwing glares at them. "And his daughters Emily and Tanya. Tanya is engaged to a roman General." Lancelot looked like his birthday came early this year as two young women comes in.
"Twins." Giselle whispered to Tristan. Six tried to crawl into Giselle lap but her stomach was to large so he just stayed in Tristan lap. Tristan gave her smile telling her that he knows what she was thinking. They sat next to their mother.
"Captain, Miladies these our my knights and loved ones." Arthur said waving an arm around the table. "Lancelot, Dagonet, Amelia…"Arthur was about to go on to Giselle when Tanya interrupted him.
"How long have you been married?" She asked rudely.
"We our not married." Amelia said polity even though she was about to break Dagonet hand.
"OH." She said sticking her nose up in the air.
"This is Giselle and Tristan. They are expecting their first child in two months." Arthur said smiling warmly at Giselle.
"Are you married?" Captain Eric asked. Before Tristan could answer Giselle spoke up.
"We may not be married by your God but we are married with our hearts instead. Our love is our marriage." Giselle said glaring at them her accent showing up.
"You are not from Britain?" Asked Emily looked intrigued.
"NO I am not. I am from France." Giselle said smiling at the girl.
"Really? How Fun! Why did…" She began but her father cut her off.
"Questions later, dear." He told his eager daughter.
"Very well Next is Galahad , Gawain. Then the children are Bors and Vanora. If you wish to know their name just ask what number they are." Arthur said everyone but the roman family getting the joke. "Thank-you for celebrating my twenty-six Birthday! The food should be served in about hour. So enjoy mingle." Arthur said pulling Lancelot aside. Arthur was talking fiercely to Lancelot.
"Tristan, Mon amour(1). Help me up." Giselle said trying to get up.
"Got play, Six." Tristan said shooing Six off his lap. Six ran off to play with his brothers and sisters. Tristan helped his lover off her chair.
"Giselle do you see Arthur and Lancelot! It quite funny watch." Galahad said with Gawain at his side. Arthur was warning Lancelot and was shaking his finger at him. The small group of friends burst out laughing. Lancelot and Arthur glanced at them. Arthur smiled and went to scold Lancelot some more while Lancelot glared at them.
"Tristan lets go! I want to meet Emily." Giselle said pulling him along. Arthur was finally finishing his speech to Lancelot. Dagonet went to speak with him while Amelia played with the children. Lancelot went moodily to the captain and his wife.
"You are Emily, right?" Giselle asked the young woman. Emily was about 5'4, her eyes were sea green, and her had a mop of red hair that fell onto her shoulders in curls.
"Yes. You are Giselle and Tristan." She said smiling. "I loved your reply to my father question. It was wonderful."
"Yes. Giselle has a way with words." Tristan said dully.
"Go on Tristan. I know you do not want to be here." Giselle said shooing him away. He kissed her cheek and left.
"I always wanted to go to France when did you leave?" Emily asked.
"About 4 years ago. It took me just a year to get here." Giselle said putting her hand on the small of her back.
"Why did you leave." She asked.
"Bad times. Bad times. I do not wish to speak of it." Giselle said frowning. "What is Rome like?"
"It okay but not as interesting as here. When we go back to Rome is shall be so boring. Wedding plans and such. Boring balls with man trying to look down your dress. Men sneaking around wives." Emily said sighing.
"how old are you?" Giselle asked.
"twenty-four."
"And never married?" She asked.
"Widow. I did not love him. We had love making once and that was not love. After the wedding night he snuck around with other women. I hated him. When he died in battle it was no lost to me." Emily said.
"Widow you say. Oh I have a great idea!" Giselle said whispering the plan to her. Emily eyes quickly widen at the plan. Then they went to Tristan and then Arthur. Who both nodded in agreement.
"Watch were your going, you little bastards!" Tanya hissed at Six and Seven when they ran into her when playing a game. Tanya looked lie her sister but something about her that made her seem colder and not as bright.
"Watch your vile tongue around my children." Vanora hissed at the woman after she saw how she treated her children. Tanya glared at her before walking off. Vanora lowered herself to the ground to hug her children.
"Mere, she mean." Six said sniffing.
"I know just stay away from her." Vanora told her child hugging them closer.
"Quiet please! Dagonet and Amelia have a announcement" Bors yelled at everyone. Ana cringed at the boom of his voice.
"We're having a baby!" She said glowing with happiness.
"YEA Aunt Amelia!" the children yelled gathering around her excited about another child to play with. Everyone went to congregate them. While Giselle knew already went over to the Captain and his wife.
"Bonjour! I know this a lot to asked but I was wandering if I could have Emily as a helper. Since this is my first child. I will need help recovering and I would need someone to be with awhile Tristan away on missions. Vanora as a inn and 9 children to look over and Amelia is busy all day doing her job. Emily would be perfect." Giselle said telling them the plan. "We have become fast friends."
"Mother and Father, please it would help me be distracted from my late husband death." Emily said helping Giselle out.
"I don't know…." Ana said thinking about all the knights here.
"I would make sure she stayed away from the knights save Tristan and I would watch her. And if someone did approach for a relationship I would make sure of their true feelings."
"Come on dear. Tanya wedding shall sadden her greatly remembering hers." Captain said.
"Very well but if she get with child without a husband your head will be mine." Ana said to her.
"Great!" Giselle said smiling.
