A/N again I don't know where Queenscove and Masbolle are in relationship to each other so please don't flame me if I get it wrong…

Ch.4- Queenscove

Baird walked Kel to the infirmary, and placed her gently in a bed. He then got up and started getting things mixed and ground…packets to put in her tea and medicine. The entire time he was scurrying around, Kel was unconscious, but breathing better because of him.

Looking up, Kel had a strange feeling in her stomach ' where in Mithros name am I?'…Kel tried to take in all her surroundings all at once and just got a headache. Just then, she noticed Duke Baird of Queenscove in the corner mixing something;.

Kel tried to say something but all that came out was a hoarse mumbling sound.

Baird looked up at a noise, and noticed Kel was awake. " You've been out for quiet some time young lady. Here drink this." Walking over to her, he quickly gave her some tea with a packet of medicine mixed into it.

" Thanks" Kel murmured, after taking a big hearty gulp. " So how bad is my arm…. well, I know it is bad… but will it heal properly?…I mean…" Kel noticed she was rambling and stopped herself.

Kel heard the Duke chuckle; " You will have a very sore arm for a few weeks, therefore no fighting. I am also afraid that you will need to stay in bed for a while; I know it was necessary but all you movements when you were injured took it out of you.

Dom came inthe next morningfeeling very refreshed and bearing two trays of food. Walking quickly over to Kel he cupped her cheek andkissed her so passionately that Kel felt fireworks going off in her mind.

After much kissing, and caressing, Dom got under control, " How are you?" he looked at her nervously as he inquired this.

" Fine, His Grace says that I must stay in bed for a while and take it easy for a few weeks…but other than that…I'm fantastic!" Kel said this last bit dryly.

Dom let out a breath he didn't know he was holding at this remark, and brought the trays of food to Kel's attention.

Kel hadn't realized she was hungry until she saw the food. Then she quickly ate everything on her plate, feeling much better afterwards.

After a few days of this routine, Dom coming in the mornings and spending the day with Kel, Baird let Kel go up to Dom's rooms in Queenscove.

" Keep her from getting too tired!" Baird yelled after the Dom…. though he knew Kel was healing faster than he had first thought. She would even be back to her normal self in a few more days.

Dom took Kel on a walk throughout the estate: showing her all the places he and Neal used to play in. Some places Kel was amazed to see…like the library. Neal had always boasted about the library being huge but Kel had never believed him…until now.

' I think I am enjoying myself too much' Kel mused to herself. " Dom? When do you want to leave for Masbolle?" The question had been on her mind all day, and she finally had to ask it.

" Whenever you think you are able to. Though I'd like to say in two days?" He really did want to get home, even though his Uncle was a wonderful host, he just felt out of place being there with his wife, and not having Neal there.

Dom's POV

Kel and I were content to just sit by the fire and snuggle close to each other. I felt myself yawning for the fourth time when I looked over and saw Kel asleep, with her head in my lap.

Very carefully so as not to wake her up, I moved Kel into our bed and then got in and unconsciously wrapped a protective arm around her.

Kel's POV

Waking up I found myself not on the floor where I'd fallen asleep, but curled into Dom's chest in bed. I felt better than I had in days and was looking forward to riding today, for the first time in two weeks, to my new home at Masbolle.

I noticed the sun was already up, and got up to get dressed, sneaking peaks at Dom's sleeping form. He was so peaceful, my heart melting at the site of him.

I walked down to the kitchens, not that far from our rooms, and brought back two trays of breakfast to our rooms.

3rd person POV

Kel and Dom said their goodbyes to Duke Baird, and showed how grateful they were at his hospitality.

" Just take it easy riding there…you still have half a days journey!" Baird said as they hopped on their horses and set off.

Once out of sight of His Grace, Kel whooped and kicked Hoshi into a gallop. Feeling so right in the saddle after being out of it for so long.

Dom was close behind his wife, laughing at how she seemed so happy. ' There is never a doubt in my mind that I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman.'

Slowing down to give their horses a break, they rode for some time. Then Dom came up next to Kel and whispered, " We're almost there!" excitedly in her ear.

So hopefully I gave enough detail, and wasn't too boring! Please Review…even if you think reviewing is lame…It isn't and I really appreciate the comments!

Catri Howlman-Carthaki spy: I had Kel simply stating the facts; I thought that saying what se felt was like Kel.

Sarramaks: Thanks; I feel it getting easier as I keep writing. I tried some of the POV stuff, and please tell me how you liked it…but I think I have an easier time writing in third person!

Imakeladrygirl: once again thanks for your support and kindness!
