Chapter 16: Birthday betrothed!
Vicky's POV
It has been one moon since we were attacked by the Thalmor. Today is the 30th of Second Seed which means I am fifteen years old and Valdis and Kazbar's wedding is in a moon and a half.
Ivan is taking me out for a walk just the two of us. I am on my way to meet him outside of the city gates. Tori as she usually does for my birthday made me a new dress. It is ruby red and warm enough that when we go to Skyrim I won't freeze. Not like I would be wearing it outside much anyway.
The sun is blazing hot which feels nice with the little bit of breeze from the wind. I wave to Ivan as I reach the gate. "Happy Birthday honey." He says with a big smile.
I smile back happily,"Thank you!"
He kisses me sweetly and says,"I love you honey." My heart skips a beat as it always does when he says that. I feel guilt as I've never said it back. I want to but, I just can't get the world to leave my mouth.
We walk until we reach the big hill. Climbing up to the top I look out over the land. After a few minutes Ivan says,"Vicky."
"Yes sweets?" I ask.
He then pulls out a beautiful gold ruby necklace. "Vicky I love you. More then I have ever loved anyone before. Will you marry me?"
My mouth opens wide I'm shock and I feel happy tears in my eyes,"Yes!"
He puts the necklace around my neck and I throw myself on him. He holds me as we kiss happily. "I love you Vicky." He wishers in my ear. I hug him tighter as he stands up carrying me back to the sanctuary.
Once at the sanctuary I run to where everyone was sitting. Grinning I say."Guess what?"
"Ivan turned you into a werewolf?" Valdis asks.
"No not yet."
"What is it?" Tori asks to impatient to guess.
"Ivan and I are getting married!"
Tori smiles,"That's great news, Congratulates!"
Smiling bigger I run around the sanctuary telling everyone I run to that I'm betrothed. When I tell my father he looks at me shocked,"I can't believe it. Both of my cubs getting married."
"Hehe. Does that make you feel old papa?"
"It sure does."
"Hahahaha."
A little while later Ivan wakes me up from my nap. "I made you your favorite stew for your birthday." He says.
"Oh yay!" I say with a laugh.
I go and sit down at a table and he brings me a steaming bowl full of stew. "Oh this is so good!" I groan as I eat it.
Ivan smiles happily at me as I eat.
"Aren't you going to eat?" I ask.
"Yeah I will. I just like watching you eat."
"Oh. Hehe"
Once I'm done eating Ivan gets his food and I sit and watch him eat. When he is done he smiles big at me and says,"I have one more thing for you."
"Oh what is it?"
He goes into the other room and comes back carrying a pie.
"Oh is it apple?" I ask excitedly.
"It sure is!"
"Haha yay!"
As we eat the pie I groan again,"Ugh sooo good."
"Haha. Glad you like it."
After we are done with the pie we clean the dishes and then go back outside. I ignore the people that glare at me. Nothing can get me down today. This is the best birthday I have ever had.
