Chapter 11 - Marriage bells are ringing

They ran back into the hotel and Isa chased her upstairs and to their room. When they got into there, Isa pulled her into his arms and deeply kissed her.

"Isa..." Tati said as she felt herself being guided to the bed.

"Why yes Tati?" Isa said as he lowered her to the bed and slipped a hand into the top of her dress.

"Do you want to do this in the middle of the day?" Tati said as Isa was removing the rest of her dress

"Very much so, love" Isa said as he started to remove his own clothing

Now both naked, he began to explore her luscious body. Very softly, he traced little circles down the front of her body, until Tatiana was trembling. He then replaced his fingers with his tongue, and left a wet trail all over her body, but avoiding her sensitive places. When he finally came back up, he looked at Tati, as she had her eyes closed, and she had her fists closed.

"Love, are you alright?" Isa said concerned that he had hurt her

"You done?" Tati said in a very controlled voice

"Yeah..." Isa said as he began to come back up to kiss her. But Tati surprised him. She turned him over and sat down on him, and brought herself to orgasm.

"Tease me like that will you..." Tati said with an evil grin

"Oh...well...uh...what were you saying" Isa said as Tatiana began to ride him again and he was losing all coherent thoughts.

From this vantage he was able to watch her in all her glory and she was so beautiful to him. He then reached up and held her close as he pumped into her. With that motion she orgasmed again for him and she then leaned back and he brought her again to orgasm. Now very tired, Tatiana leaned back over him and brought herself close to him and whispered in his ear "I love you Isa"

"You are amazing love." Isa whispered back and with that drove into her to bring himself to orgasm.

Spent, she slowly brought herself off of him, and laid down her head onto his chest and fell asleep.

"I love you too Tatiana, with all my heart" he whispered as he brought a sheet over her sleeping form and fell asleep as well

OoO

Drake woke up to find that his wife had returned and was fast asleep beside him. He then decided to see his youngest daughter. Removing Mel's hand from his chest, he got up and left the room. He then went to the room that was supposed to be Tatiana's, only to find it completely empty. Curious, he supposed that she was with that Isagani, probably plotting some new concoction with that boy, so he went to the first room, which was rm 12 and opened the door. And steam started rising from his head (okay you couldn't really see it, but you could swear by it) as he saw his daughter naked and in the arms of an equally naked Isa.

"TatianaSaphira what on earth do you think you are doing young lady!" Drake roared

"DADDY!" Tati said standing straight up without covering herself

"AHHHH" Isa said hiding under the covers

"Oh no you don't young man" Drake said as he stormed over to the side of the bed and dragged him out.

"Daddy, don't you touch him. I love him and we are getting married as soon as Axia wakes up." Tatiana said as she hung on her father's arm as he was about to hit Isa.

"Drake, I swear, I love her and I am going to marry her." Isa said in his defense

"Then we are getting this done NOW!" Drake roared and released Isa long enough to get his pants on. He then turned to his still naked daughter and said "Get dressed. Can't have Bizi looking at you too." he added softly

"Father, please, wait for Axia. She would never forgive you if you did this." Tati begged him as she got on one of the dresses that they had purchased this morning

"I am not going to allow you to be debased without marriage any longer." Drake said as he dragged both of them out of the room and banged on the room that Mistress and Bizi were sharing.

"Marry them now." Drake said as he threw the two of them at Bizi

"You just couldn't wait a few more days, could you Isa..." Bizi said as he went looking for his marriage bible

"Are you stating that you knew that he was sleeping with my daughter?" Drake said with narrow eyes

"I did say he approached me last night, didn't I" Bizi said

Turning to Isa, Drake looked at him and asked him "How long?"

"Since last night. I have not touched her in any way since last night. After Aila aged her." Isa said to him looking Drake straight in the eyes "Drake she may have been on this earth only 15 years, but I love her."

"You are still marrying her..you all are!" Drake roared as he went to go wake his wife.

"You just couldn't keep your hands off of her could you?" Bizi said and within their minds, they heard Lachlan snickering

"You shut up" Bizi said to Lachlan

"Make me" Lachlan said in retaliation

"Both of you SHUT UP" Aila screamed

"Yes Aila" Bizi said

"Yes Mother" Lachlan said

"Aila you were not kidding...I can hear this" Isa said in wonder.

Drake then reappeared with a half-asleep Melianta and Aldo, with Axia in his arms.

"Drake you are not seriously thinking of marrying Axia while she is unconscious?" Bizi asked, slightly scared of the answer

"She doesn't need to be conscious, she already agreed when she slept with Aldo." Drake growled

"Drake, I have not even asked her yet. You will not take the pleasure of me asking her away from me" Aldo growled at Drake. Bizi and Isa looked in shock, as they had not seen the serene Aldo be upset or angry at anything.

"So, uh...if everyone is in agreement that no marriage is not going to take place today, then I think me and Tati will just go..." Isa said, hoping that no one would hear him leave.

"Stop!" Drake said

"Uh..." Isa said as he stopped in his tracks and hung his head.

"Bizi, start the proceedings" Drake ordered him

OoO

"We are gathered her because Drake is a pig-headed mule that can't admit that his daughters are individuals, not girls and so we are forcing Isa and Tatiana into holy matrimony" Bizi started

"Bizi!" Mistress shouted

"What?" Bizi said shrugging his shoulders "So where am I going to get some rings"

"Be right back!" Tatiana said as she raced back into her room. She returned with 2 exquisite Claddagh rings. One was made of Sapphires for Tatiana's birthstone. The other was made from the Irish Emerald, where Isa was born. "I had them made for us, Isa, a while ago. I knew eventually you would say yes."

With tears in his eyes, he whispered "Thank you"

"Now that we have the rings, finish it." Drake said, trying not be moved by his youngest daughter's gesture of love. His wife on the other hand was crying softly beside him. He knew she was thinking that Saphia should have been here.

"Fine then. Isagani, do you love the woman standing before you? Will you stand by her through thick and thin, and never waver from the path that Drake is forcing you on?" Bizi asked, knowing it would get another rise out of Drake.

"I also have a verse, that as a chosen, must be answered. Lachlan already asked this of Bizi, and it was answered honourably. This must be asked as you are chosen as well. Only Bizi and Isa will hear this, as Bizi is the priest. This is the first time that 2 chosens have been married and it is important as this will bind them in ways that no other chosens have been." Aila responded, knowing that she still needed to respect Isa's wish to keep the fact that Tatiana was pregnant secret. She knew that Bizi would not share this information, as he was a priest as well as a man.

Within Bizi and Isa's mind, they hear the 3 pieces of the Mystical Valkyrie ask the question "If your child, that Tatiana currently carries, needed to be sacrificed for the good of Rune-Midgar, would you do this."

"No. Never. This child represents my love for Tatiana and I will not sacrifice it for anything. I would sacrifice myself for Rune-Midgar before giving up my child." Isa responded

"That was a better answer then even Bizi gave, and so this marriage will be accepted by us all." Lachlan responded

"Isa, was this the reason that you wanted to marry her right away?" Bizi asked him within the bubble that had been created

"Yes. Aila said that I impregnated her after taking her virginity." Isa said blushing hotly

"Isa, what is wrong?" Tatiana said watching him go beet red

The pieces broke the bubble as all questions had been answered. "Now for Isa's responce to all" Axis said

"I love Tatiana Saphira with all of my heart and soul. I will protect her and any children that come of our union with my very life." Isa said, making the statement vague so that Tatiana would not suspect that she was already pregnant. He then placed the ring that Tatiana had bought onto her finger

"Tatiana, do you love the man in front of you? Will you stand by him through thick and thin and never waver from your loyality?" Bizi asked of her

"Yes I do, and I will never waver." Tatiana said as she placed his ring onto his finger.

"Then by the power of the church of Rune-Midgar, I now prounce you Ball and chain, or rather Husband and Wife. You can now kiss her Isa and Drake can't hurt you anymore." Bizi said as Mistress hit him about the crack of the "ball and chain"

Isa closed the gap between them and took Tatiana's face within his hands. He then slowly leaned up and gently kissed her on the lips. Tatiana slowly opened her mouth and allowed their first kiss as husband and wife to be explored deeper. Lost in the heedy feeling of his new wife, Isa forgot that he was surrounded by people until he heard within his mind 'Would you two like to start the honeymoon in front of the family?' Lachlan said.

Isa then broke the kiss with a grin on his face at that thought that Lachlan gave and turned to Drake and said "Drake, we would like to be alone now." and took Tatiana back into his room

"Well I'll be damned" Sirano said as he and Callista finally uncloaked after watching the entire thing cloaked.

"About time you two uncloaked" Drake said snickering

"Drake you have no respect for any of us, do you?" Callista said as she recloaked and attempted to leave the room

"I love my children, and I want them to be happy" Drake said to a decloaked Callista as Mistress cast Ruwach

"No you want to control them and bend them to your will" Callista responded. "At least Misty and Axi get a respite from your wrath for now. Bizi can't exactly marry himself, and Aldo will kill you if you marry Axia still unconcious."

"That's right, they do get to wait. You on the other hand my dear, do not. Bizi, your second wedding of the day." Drake said as he held his daughter in place.

"Drake I swear, I will not forgive you if you do this, like this." Callista growled

"Drake, release the chosen protector immediately" Aila said in a booming voice

"Fine" Drake said

"Callista, Sirano, I think that if Drake wishes this to continue, there are a few things you are going to need to know. They will be influencing your decision." Aila said and encasted them within the safety wall as they had all done to the other chosens.

OoO End of Chapter 11 OoO

Authors Note

The Claddagh Ring belongs to a widespread group of finger rings called Fede or "Faith rings" which date from Roman times. They are distinguished by having the bezel cut or cast in the form of two clasped hands, symbolising faith, trust or "plighted troth". Fede rings were popular in the Middle Ages throughout Europe, and there are examples from this time in the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin. The "Claddagh" ring is a particularly distinctive ring; two hands clasp a heart surmounted by a crown.

The ring worn on the right hand, crown turned inward tells your heart is yet unoccupied, worn with the crown turned outwards reveals love is being considered. Worn on the left hand the crown turned outward shows all, your heart is truly spoken for.
