Thinking there was going to be fight and being prepare to take on Jellal, knowing he can win. Gray was relieved when he sat on the couch instead wanting to know what was going on with his sister. Everyone was turn Gray at the door to hear of any news.
"What is going on?"
"Brother, I called them. I thought given what took place they should be here for Amber. Having family close by will make her feel better."
"You beat me to it. I was planing on calling you guys when I was leaving the room. Now that step is out of the way."
"How is she Gray?"
"Falling back asleep I hope. I was going to take her home later, I think it's better to have her stay here tonight Mystogan. Mother you don't mind?"
"Not at all, we welcome it."
"Thanks Ur my sister well being is important to us."
"No need to say thanks Jellal. Amber is always welcome here. Occasionally my sons would bring her over for tea or supper."
"Is she really fine Gray?"
"For the most part yes she is Jellal, but not to sure of a other thing."
"Other thing?"
"Let me tell you. The reason she was outside was to feel numb. Wanted the pain and memories to go away. She wanted to harm herself."
"My sister has the tendency to act foolishly not comprehending seriousness of her actions. Doing this right after informing you all of her horrific past. This is why I wanted Dr Smith to be approached to grapple her wayward emotions and reel in what still needs to be resolved."
"Can this Dr. Smith help her. Is there a other specialist you would like for her. We can make arrangements and bring in whom ever."
"That is a very kind gesture Sliver, but Dr Smith is the best one in Magnolia. When my sister did visit her to tackle her issues at hand it did wonders for her psychological state."
"That is good to know Mystogan. Is there anything else we can do for her or the both of you in this matter."
"Not really Sliver, it's very much appreciate with your concern. We must take appropriate measure to insure or encourage Amber to seek assistance from Dr Smith. Trying to force her to go will do no good."
With the head of the family seating in a big chair and rolling a cigar in his hand. He looks at the younger fellows in the den. Jellal and Mystogan where open about what happen in there childhoods. Hearing of them being in foster care when Jellal was first introduce to them by Lyon. Shocking revelation that he took the role of being a parent to his smaller siblings was commendable. Admiring the determination he had of keeping them all safe and together.
"If you ever do change your mind Jellal and Mystogan know that you only need to ask."
"We hope it doesn't come to that but thanks for the offer. Mystogan and I stand beside Amber and give her the support she requires."
"My you brothers love your sister very much. The bonds you have with her will grow stronger. It makes me happy as mother to see such wholesome relationships. That sweet dear laying in Gray's room knows that you care for her. I have seen the way she beams when she talks about the two of you. Jellal she looks at you as tower of strength. You may act more as a father then a big brother towards her. Then there is you Mystogan the middle child probably trying not to take who ever side in this. You want an outcome that is fitting for her and prowess to know that she is fine."
"My dear wife is right you two. Three of you have each other and keep what you have close to you. We may not be family but I am proud of you all and that goes double for my sons too. We have a lot to chat about, we will endeavour to come to a understanding."
They all carried on with the conversation for awhile longer. Charles came in with a tray of tea and snacks for everyone. The brothers knew they couldn't stay for much longer. The key reason for them coming was to see their sister.
"If this was any other day we would stay longer. I would like to see Amber before it gets to late."
"We can open up more guess room for the two of you, it will be no trouble at all."
"Can't accept this time Ur."
"A pity Jellal."
The oldest twin stands from the couch and begins his way over to the door with Mystogan trailing behind. Gray was next in line to make it over to his room. Taking up the rear was Lyon, he too wanted to see how she was doing. His parents choose to stay behind. The Fernandes family needs one other again.
Gray got ahead of Jellal to be able to open his bedroom door for them. They were about halfway down the hallway when the heard screaming and shouting coming from his room. "NOOO! Stay back. Dan no..."
"Is she having a nightmare?"
"Seams like it Lyon." Jellal says to him with worry in his voice. They all begin to sprint down the rest of the corridor to reach the room. Gray opens and pushes on the door and the sight all of them see is Amber standing in the middle of the room. Her eyes were huge and she was in frantic state looking all around her.
"Amber!" Stops and turns to hear her voice being called. Jellal comes closer to her and she starts backing up.
"Sister it's me. You are fine, no one will hurt you."
There was a bathroom in Gray's room that Amber didn't notice before when she was laying in bed. Taking a few steps towards it, needing the escape, a place to hide. The torrent of the dream had her jumping out of bed. Thinking she was back in her room only to realize it was someplace else.
Jellal moves closer to her not wanting her to flee into the bathroom of no chance of getting her out. The coxing it took can be very draining and the time can be long. "Come to me Amber don't resend into the bathroom."
Moving again and looking at her brother feeling overwhelmed and trying to clear her head. The imagines of the dream where still visible in her mind. "Jellal?"
"It is me sister I have come to tell you how sorry I am for my behaviour. I was mad and upset at you and I needed to cool my head." Jellal takes a other step while talking to her and Gray does the same. One of them had to get to her quickly and settle her fears before closing herself off.
"You hurt me, you left me. Walk out that door."
"I know I did. I am here to give you all of my support. No more walking away.
"Brother..."
"Why don't we get out of this room okay?"
Shaking her head and seeing Gray and Jellal taking a steps to her. It was then she turns to go into the bathroom. Doesn't get to reach it and be locked inside. Jellal grabs her by the arm and she starts pulling herself free. "Stay back...get back."
"Jellal no. You are doing it wrong remember."
"Mystogan I know. We can't have her running to hide. I will try to calm her down."
"Brother, don't know about this."
His brother didn't have Amber for long. She was able to get free and get away. The next thing that all of them see is Gray taking her into his arms. Struggling against a other person was making her feeling dizzy. It was his voice that resonating in the room and that quill her movements. "Amber don't resit I have you. Trust me like you have been doing."
The brothers and Lyon watches as she stop and she looks up at him. His hand lays on her cheek. "That's better isn't it. May I hug you." Not saying anything she relaxes her body and he brings her closer to him. "It's all right now, the nightmare is over."
"Wow Jellal, I haven't see her do this before."
"Yeah, but he still ask for permission while holding her."
"Gray that was impressive you subdue her faster then what it could have taken us hours."
"Mystogan I wanted her to trust me more. With her being pregnant I have been with her during her morning sickness, rubbing her back. Where we are at location, we are sharing a hotel room. No we aren't sharing the same bedroom, if that is what you're thinking. It's one of the top suites with two rooms."
"Never knew this was going on when I have talked to her on the phone or message. Has it been working well?"
"To some degree Mystogan. There have been days that hasn't gone so well." The twins felt better seeing their sister had settle down. Her head was resting on Gray's chest her eyes were closed. If this happen with them she would have hide in the bathroom for who knows how long. With Gray presences it's unreal.
Feeling a hand on her head she opens up her eyes to see her big brother Jellal. "I guess you have a other person watching over you." He leans in and kisses her cheek and steps back. Then he frowns seeing a scar mark on her forehead. Mystogan had told him what happen in Cedar with the light falling and her being sent to the hospital. Gray takes her over to the bed and lays her down and recovers her back up. Lyon and himself leave his bedroom to give the siblings a chance to talk.
Sitting on the space on the bed next to her Jellal takes her hand. "Sister sorry for not coming to you sooner. Can you forgive me for my rash actions and walking out that day."
Wiping the tears from her eyes and nodding her head. Missing her brother all these months made her felt she lost him. "You are ok with me having a baby and it's with Gray."
"I would have prefer you get to know a guy and done it that way."
"Jellal I can't."
"Amber I know you can't. What done is done not going to say anymore on it. Gray will be known as the father. Your child, my niece or nephew will have someone to call dad at lest. It's not a random sperm donor you picked. Just know we will support you, the both of us. Whatever you need give us a call."
"Jellal, Mystogan I know it was a shocked. I am glad you will beside me through this."
"You are our adorable baby sister. We may not see eye to eye at times, but we are still family."
"Yes we are big brother." Amber raises Jellal hand and gives it a kiss. Then she looks over to Mystogan reaching out for his hand. He gives it to her and she does the same thing. She pulls back the covers and lays both of their hands on her stomach. "Family all of us." The brothers ask for a hug which she gave willing.
While the other brothers wait for Jellal and his twin to emerge out of his room. Lyon wanted a talk with Gray. Wanted a few questions answered regarding to his disagreement of her wanting to go through the clinic and ending up doing what he was offering to do.
"Gray before they come out. I got to know why?"
"Why to what?"
"Come on...months ago you where not exactly happy about her choice of having a baby and the way she was going about it. What change your mind and why did you do it?"
"It was after that day when mom and dad were talking to me about marriage, company and kids. When I was going home I started to think on how I can get them to back off. It came to me in a flash, like lighting. Amber told me what she was planing on doing and I thought why not do what you suggest. It will be easier then finding someone to have a child with. I went over to her place to talk. She wasn't willing at first, had to think on it. When she gave me the answer I was thrilled. That even though I don't want the company or marriage. I was able to grant one of their wishes."
"I hope you are fine with your decision brother."
"I am, if this is to make mom and dad realize I have no intention to obey them."
"I think they get it now after hearing her story. She is very brave to retell it." Lyon looks at Gray's door hoping everything was going alright in the room.
"Amber is awesome, the best."
The door to his room soon open and the brothers came out. Mystogan closed the door behind him. "I think she is settled down now and we have talked."
"That is good. You guys needed to see each other and hear her out."
"Lyon these past months I been wanting to see her. I should have told her it wasn't a mistake and walk out."
"You wanted what is best for her Jellal. No harm done."
"Well it shouldn't taken this long. Gray I have something I want to tell you."
"Alright, what do you need to tell me?"
"Amber working away and being with you. I am putting that trust you have said you have with her. Don't break it, she needs a other person watching out for her."
"It has it's moments and taking the smallest steps."
"Good. Well we have stayed out our welcome. Got to get home, Goodnight."
Lyon takes them back to his parents to bid them a goodnight. Gray goes into his bedroom and sees she is sleeping again. Taking off his shirt and making a spot on the floor for his bed. There was no point in going to the living room. He wanted to make sure that Amber was ok. Thinking earlier to this day and having his parents knowing how he felt. The weight he was feeling on his shoulders is gone. He can sustain his lifestyle not being dragged into what they wanted him to do. Closing his eyes he was ready to drift off to sleep. A small voice called out to him.
"Gray?"
Sitting up he looks to his bed and Amber was looking down at him. He thought she had gone to sleep but was she playing possum?
"Yeah?"
"There is room on the bed."
"I am fine where I am, the bed is yours."
"As your manger I would hate for you to get sick. It would be a pain to tell Sting to fix his time table for you to get better."
Sighing he looks at her and chuckling to himself. "Are you trying to bargain with me."
"I usually win in the end. I am good negotiator, I have gotten you ton of work that way."
"That I know all to well." Getting up from the carpet, he comes around to the other side of the bed. He lays on top of the blankets, like he was laying on the floor.
"Gray...covers."
"This will do."
"Stubborn." Recoiling the covers off her self. Flings them on to Gray. Raising a eye brow at him. Wondering what he will do now. Laying back down and facing the other way from him. Feeling the shift in the bed and the blankets get puts back on her.
"You win."
Smiles and closes her eyes. It was hard to get the dream out of her head. Now that Gray was beside her, she was able to fall asleep with out any troubles. He lays there looking up at the ceiling hearing her breath. "I am not the stubborn one."
The hours past through out the night into the wee hours of the morning. The snow had stop falling and it cover the ground in a thin layer. A dog can be heard barking in the distance. The snow plows had started cleaning the snow off the roads and putting sand and salt down. Gray woke up to movement next to him. Amber was still asleep but was having a dream.
"A other nightmare?"
Not to sure of what to do he moves closer to her and wraps his arms around her. Should he wake her up or let the dream get worse. He started talking to her instead, right by her ear. "Shhhh it's alright now. I don't want you to be upset or dreaming of this man, nothing good can come from it."
His hand was rubbing her arm awhile he still talked to her to keep her nightmare at bay. "Dream of something else, something that will take away all the ugliness you had to endure. Maybe a hot summer day at the beach now that it's snowing. Or a dream of a faraway land that you have never been too." Her face looked more at ease and she wasn't moving anymore. Gray held her closely until he thought the nightmare had passed.
"I think the worse is over, and you're more relax from before. You have been through quite a bit lately. I was getting concern for you and the baby. You would tell me and I can hear your voice echos in my ears from what you will say...Gray, I am fine, we are fine."
He kisses the side of her temple and it doesn't even stir her awake. "Going to make sure you are, both of you." As she sleeps peacefully for now his hand stops rubbing her arm and moves the blanket close up to her shoulders. Resting his head against hers and drifting off back to sleep once more.
Zipping up his jacket as he closes the door of the taxi he took to bring him to the location he was working at. It was still early morning, and he was in no mood. Rachel, was weeping on her bed after getting smacked around by Dan. Frustrated that his ex was back at Magnolia for time off and he can't leave Cedar yet to follow her. Mest was no dummy if he caught wind of what he was planning he will be sent back to jail. Since that day that the light almost fell on her he had to be careful for his next move. He was making her uncomfortable by watching her closely in the shallows. When she went searching for the cause he made sure to be out of sight.
"Shit, why does it have to be so cold here." Placing his hands together and blowing his hot breath on them to keep them warm. What he had plan on doing now was set something a blazed. "She may not be here, but I can put a wrench into her plans." Entrance to where they were going to be filming next had a gate to proceed in and also the security guards patrolling the area. There was a space he found or he made in a chain fence that he could slip on through with out being seen. To be able to work here had it's advantages and it was one way to be sneaky when need be.
"Lets see if there is anyone walking around the trailers." Being careful not to make any noise and watching and hearing for anyone to take notice of him. He walk where he plan out from where he came in and going straight for trailers. These huge luxurious homes on wheels where bigger then his hotel room. Got kicked out from where he was before due to punching a guy in the face for making a racket. The halfway house had no tolerance for violence and they asked him to leave. He was earning enough to get his own place, but for now he didn't want to give anyone his address or knowing where he was living.
Stopping and watching a security guard walk by with a flashlight in his hand. This had to be a quick job. Pulling out a knife from it's pouch as he walks to the trailer in the middle. Trying to see if it's open first. "Be so much easier if it was." His ears pick up footsteps crunching in the snow. Quickly getting underneath the trailer as fast as he can. Hoping that his own footprints will not get seen. The guard walks on by not really taking a closer look at the trailers where it's part of his job to keep a eye on things.
Crawling back out from underneath he stands by the door again and with his knife he takes off the lock. He was able to find the exact knife he used to stabbed her in the back with, it was handy tool to use to threaten someone. Check the net to see if a other one was in close proximity. To his luck there was one he could get by mail. There were only a few of these made in the world.
It didn't take much to pry his way in. Knows how to put fear in by waving it around with his hand. Opening up the door he goes inside and carefully closing the door. His eyes had to adjust to the darkness in the trailer. There wasn't much light outside and no moon was seen tonight. Inside his pocket he takes out a small bottle of lighter fluid and couldn't carry around a jerry can of gasoline it would be to obvious. He takes a sweep of the trailer first to see if their where any of her things inside. There were a few baby books, her favourite chocolates and a pair sleepers. There on the table was a ultrasound picture. "What does this little brat look like." Holding up the picture and not really making out what it was in the dark. Crumpled it up and throw it on the floor behind him. The bottle gets open up and starts squeezing it on the couch, chairs, even on the queen size bed. The empty bottle gets put back into his coat pocket. No evidence to be left behind to be pointed to him. This could be a random act by someone else. To start his fun, he had taken a match book from the bar he had drinks at earlier before dealing with Rachel.
The small flame in his hand was going to turn into a bigger and brighter flame. Dropping it onto the bed and quickly making his way back out. There was no guard coming and he runs into the darkness waiting for the sounds of sirens down the street. The minutes it took for the fire trucks and police to arrive it please him hoping that trailer was melted piece of scrap. "This see how you handle this." The fact that it was Gray's trailer he torch had no meaning to him. Amber used it and she knew Gray so it was his fault that he had her for a manger. It was only a mater of time for her to make a reappearance.
Waking up in the morning had her always stretching her arms and legs. This morning was a little different compare to others. When she open up her eyes she sees a bare male chest in her eyesight. The position she was in was very close to him with his arms still wrap around her and his head very near to hers. "Did he think I was one of his lovers in his bed and automatically nuzzle closer? How do I get out of this?" Not wanting to wake him up or touch his chest in her movements. There where no scars on his torso, she never really paid attention to how he looked. Right now it was not a time to take any notice of it. It made her heart quicken a little, but she figure it was being next to a guy.
Removing his arm from her and placing it at his side she gently sits up in bed. She was only there a moment when morning sickness kicked in. It took her running into his bathroom closing the door. For the last couple days being back at home, it was just her in the bathroom at her apartment. She did miss his touch on her back or holding up her hair. The sound of his bathroom being used woke him up and brought him over to the door. "Amber, I am coming in."
"It's fine Gray. I can do it on my own this morning."
He pushes on the door and kneels down beside her. "We are use to this now, why stop."
"Give you a break?"
"Nah, don't want to miss much."
"Ughhh...you could have missed all this."
"I wouldn't want that. Besides soon this will past and feel more normal."
A little while they stayed in the bathroom until it passes. Gray asked her if she wanted a shower. Declining it because of no other clothes and wanting to go home soon, but didn't want to tell him that part. He choose to jump into the shower while she headed for something to eat, if she can keep anything down. One of the maids handed her purse and phone to her and she had a comb inside and make up in case she needed a touch up in between meetings. In the dinning room there were voices of his parents and Lyon. They were early raisers and she could smell food and coffee. Longing for a cup of coffee and not willing to eat to much. When she enter the room she was greeted with smiles. They all said good morning to one a other and Amber started to comb out her hair.
"Why didn't you do that in Gray's bathroom."
"He is using it Ur. I hate to be a bother at someone place."
"You aren't a bother, glad to see you here. I wanted to talk to you yesterday."
"Sorry Ur. What was on your mind?"
"The baby of course. I should say my grandchild, is there anything you need."
"I am fine. I'll be heading out with friends soon to do some shopping." Ur steps closer to her and puts a hand on her stomach. If it was any other person or male touch her she would have slap their hand away.
"Can't believe you are carrying our first one. Any movement yet?"
"No, still waiting."
"You will no when it happens. It's a little shock at first to feel the first kick but it's a wonderful experience."
"Looking forward to it."
"Has Gray been feeling the baby."
"Twice Ur, I can't be touch unwilling."
"Oh I am so sorry. Here I am went ahead myself and did it." Dropping her hand from her stomach and stepping back from her. "I simply forgot about your phobia"
"Phobia?"
"That is what it is, right. Can't be touched."
"I...I guess so."
"Why don't we get you two fed. Come this way."
"I can't handle food right now Ur. I will wait when I get home to have something."
"Amber there are delicious food for you to have and it's good for my grandchild."
"I am not hungry, Ur. I have already been in the bathroom once already."
"How about some fruit? We have some apples, oranges and watermelon." Gray's mother wasn't listening to her and proceeded to get her take a bite. Gray came into the dinning room. He had gotten out of the shower and found some clothes of his in his room.
"Good Morning Mother."
"Gray Good morning my son. I am trying to fix a plate for her. Care for a plate? The chef out did himself."
"I'll start with coffee."
Gray was looking at Amber and notice that her hair wasn't messy any more, but her clothes were all wrinkled from sleeping in them.
"Have you eaten Amber?"
"No, I can't handle it."
"Amber dear why not some toast." She gives Ur a grotesque look and shoves the plate away from her.
"Mother go easy. It might not be a good day for her to eat."
"She needs to eat."
"Mother it's okay I'll take over. Want me to ask the chef to make you some eggs. They seam to be working lately."
"Two please."
Amber had forgotten about her phone that was in her purse not checking to see her messages in while. Getting out her cell and seeing she had some there waiting for her to view them.
"I'll go talk to the cook."
"I have to check these anyways."
There was one from Lucy, Erza, Zeref and Sting. She reads all of them and the one that caught her interested a little bit more was the one from Sting. It was a urgent matter that needed her to call asap. Punching his number and waiting for him to answer on the line.
"Amber glad to hear from you."
"What is the urgent matter?"
"I need you come back here."
"What we have a week off Sting, Gray has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Gray doesn't need to come back only you."
"It's week off for me too."
"I know you guys need your rest but this is important."
"How serious does this have to be for me to come."
"Well Gray's trailer is the only one that got destroyed and the rest are fine. The media is all over on it. If you turn on the t.v now you see footage."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Turn on a t.v."
"Let me go turn it on first and I'll call you back." The phone gets put down on the table and she goes over to the t.v that was station in every room. A remote was beside the stand and turns it to the first local news station. There on the screen was a reporter talking about incident that happen in the early morning.
"I am here outside the filming location of Sting Eucliffe latest project. What you seen behind me is the chard trailer belong to Gray Fullbuster. We understand that no one was inside of it when it became on fire. For now there is no news on how the fire started. Fighter investigators have to wait until the smoke has completely died down. We are still waiting on getting word with Sting Eucliffe for interview on what he believes could have started it. I am Cana Alberona reporting for Good Morning Magnolia. Stay tune for more on this story at 12pm."
"That got my attention." Redialing Sting number and getting him back on the line. Didn't take him long to answer.
"So are you coming now?"
"Do not have choice do I. It will be a couple hours before getting there. I need to get on the next flight out first but need to repack."
"Sooner you get here the better."
"I am on my way now."
"I can meet you at the airport."
"Stay where you are, I'll need the transportation anyway."
"Call me when you land."
"I will and tell me all you know when I get there." Ending the call before he gets to say bye, she puts the phone back into her purse. Sensing there were eyes on her she looks at Lyon and everyone else. Gray was still talking to the chief in the kitchen. Not knowing what was going on and that she was heading out.
"Ur, everyone thanks for letting me stay. I need to go and as you can see it's serious enough for me to stop my time off."
"Must you go through?"
"I have to Ur. Being a manger, I have certain responsibilities I have to take care of. This counts as one of them and get to the bottom of it. Can I get ask for a ride to my apartment."
"You should wait for my brother Amber."
"I have no time Lyon, and he is the one that is still on vacation."
"I'll get one of our drivers to take you."
"Thanks Ur."
Lyon helps to put on her jacket and Ur talk to Charles to get one of the drivers to get a car ready. Sliver flips the channels to see there is more news on the trailer. "Amber if you need any help in Cedar regarding the trailer or anything pertaining to it give us a call."
"I am sure Sting will provide for me all I need."
"Do take care of yourself."
"I will Lyon." Asks for a hug and he kisses her cheek. Sliver does the same thing and pats her on the head. Ur was coming back in to inform her that a car will be ready in a few minutes. Embraces her like Erza, crushing her and tapping her on the back to be release.
"Tell Gray you are going?"
"No, I have no time really. I need to be out that the door. If you can tell him for me that I will message him later. Not to worry about the trailer, we can get a other one." With the purse slung on her shoulder she makes a beeline for the door. With Ur and Lyon following her close behind.
"Sorry to run."
"Not to worry darling. You have work to do."
Giving her one last hug and heading down towards the car. Ur wishpers into her ear. "Darling there is something I wanted to tell you."
"Okay make it quick?"
"With you not like being touch by others, have you ever thought of letting Gray touch you."
"What?"
"I love my son and I will love this child. Why not you two get together."
"Mother?"
"Hush Lyon."
"Ur no."
"Why not he is a prefect candidate."
"Ur, it will never work."
"Why not?"
"I can't be seduce by his charms. I have seen what he has done in his relationships it will not work on me."
"Have you try."
"No, I got to go."
Almost running towards the car Charles had the door open for her. The interior was already nice and warm for her. "Thanks Charles."
"Have a good day Miss." Closing the car door and taping on the roof to signal for the driver to start driving. Waving bye to Charles and setting back into her seat, she looks out the window and prepares herself for the trip back.
Gray comes into the room with a small pate of food ready to hand it over to Amber. When he sees she is not in the room he looks over to his Dad. "Did she go use the washroom again?"
"No son, something unexpected just happen. You need to see this." Standing by his father and watching the news piece on a different channel had Gray putting down the pate of food. "She left Gray to see to this matter at hand."
"Why no wait for me?"
"Didn't want to ruin your vacation."
"Dam it, she needs it more then I do really. This was only going to be a week long but our next break is next month. It will be longer then this, she takes on to much."
"What are you going to do?"
"It's my trailer and I would like to know as well how it caught on fire."
"I guess you are cutting your trip short?"
"It looks like it. I should get my stuff together and leave. I don't want her going alone."
Gray had to get his car and go back to his house and pack his suite case and maybe rush to get to her place before she leaves, if not head to the airport. He had to say bye to his mother and brother first before going.
"I can't believe you did that mother."
"It wasn't that bad Lyon. You should have seen her face."
"I was there and I saw it."
"Ur my wife what did you do?"
"Nothing, I innocently told Amber to hook up."
"Hook up?"
"Yeah, since these two are having a child together. Why not get them together?"
"Mother!"
"Don't worry Gray she turn me down."
"She did?"
"Saying something like your charms wouldn't work on her. There is no way you could seduce her."
"Oh really." Hearing that a second time and from his mother it bug him a little to know that she wouldn't fall for him. Ur saw his expression on his face and she smirked a little.
"Is that sadness I see from you?"
"No."
"You are hurt by what she said."
"I am not. Not every women out there will like me mother."
"True but this is Amber."
"Mom, drop it. I have to get going." He kisses her on the cheek and says goodbye to his father and brother. Goes back to his room and gets his things. When he gets outside it was a clear day were as earlier it was snowing.
"Ur do you think that was necessary to do that to him."
"Sliver a mother can pick up on things from their children it's like a gift. He clearly didn't like hearing that."
"Don't do anything that will make him mad at you later."
"Nope they are old enough to figure out life for themselves. I will be watching it unfolded from the sidelines until the right moment."
"Now that is scary."
Ur gives her husband a hug and Lyon a bright smile and leaves the room to see to some business. Sliver shakes his head and Lyon gives him a odd look wondering why his father is acting this way. "Father?"
"Son, never married a women like your mom."
"Why not?"
"Because if she has it her way, Your brother and Amber will be string together."
The suite case she had was bigger then the last one she used. Only thinking of staying there a few weeks not a few months. This time she was roaring to go and everything was set. The airlines was called, she phone Mystogan to look after Happy. She even talked to Rouge about seeing to her mail for her. He was more then glad to help her out. Even helped put her suit case in the trunk, with out first asking to take her to the airport. Declining once again at his offer Rouge could wait for a day when she would say yes.
Finding a parking spot at the airport and letting her car stay here for a few hours. Mystogan was going to pick up her car for her with Jellal so she doesn't have to pay a fee when she returns. The weather was getting colder again. With her keys she open up the trunk ready to take out her suite case for the five hour journey back to Cedar. She didn't notice that Gray was waiting for her and he rush to beat her here. Keeping a look out for when she shown up. Not going to her house as he first intended. Lifting up the heavy case that is full of clothes that might or might not fit.
"You shouldn't be lifting anything in your condition." The case slides back down into the trunk she turns around to see him coming towards her.
"Gray...what..what...are you doing here?"
Standing right in front of her he puts down his suite case. Then puts a hand on her waist and bends to take her suite case out with ease and puts it next to his. She was back into her business suit and ready to do her job. In her rush she forgot a strand of hair to tie back. With his other hand he puts it behind her ear and lays his hand on her neck. "I am coming with you."
"No no, it's your time off, you must need time away. Take it, I'll report back to you."
"You should be taking the time and I should go."
"Gray..." A finger lays on her lips to keep her silent.
"If you are going, I shall to go." Picks up both suite cases and motions with his head to come with him. "I have upgraded your seat, you will be next to me."
"Gray!"
"Amber, stop we have no time to waist. Now lets go."
"You are taking everything out my hands again."
"As it should be, you need someone to watch over you or you do something reckless"
"When have I every done anything reckless?"
Gray turns around and gives her at look indicating she can't be serious. This moment right here is one and if she thought back to a few other times when she has gone off on her own with out him. Even if it was a small matter, but he wanted to make sure she was alright.
"Really, you don't see this as a reckless act?"
"That I am doing my job and going to keep you out of the spot light. I have done many things to help with your career without you being there. Take this as one of those moments."
"No this time, this is different compare to the others. I want to know what happen as well not getting second hand information. I am not saying you aren't capable of doing your job. This incident is unlike any other. I am curious as to why? Now lets go and board the airplane."
"Fine, but you aren't talking to the media I will do that."
"We will see."
She gives him a glare, he was undermining her. There was no way she was going to get him more evolved in this. This was his vacation and she wanted him to relax. The last few months of shooting was intense and they all did a wonderful job. When Sting postpone them having a break. There were no complaints, they kept going on. Everyone was enjoying making the movie and they all got along well.
Gray turns slightly to see her following him close behind. Yeah he knew he made her mad, but what choice did he have. That to stay here and let her handle things back in Cedar. What if something happens to her. Mira said that because of her job and how stressful it was, she needed not to overwork herself. He was told by her older brother to keep a eye on her himself. That is what he is going to do wither she likes it or not. The safety of Amber and his unborn child was in his hands.
