"speaking"
""thinking""
On with the story
Blaster Blade Exceed, Salome and the twins were now following the path in the forest with Barcgal, Wingal and Flogal leading the way
"may I ask to where is our destination?" Salome asked Blade while pushing the twin's stroller
"you shall see" Blade replied with a smile as Wingal then barks to them
Salome looks in front and sees a clearing in the forest where there stood and old tree in the middle of the clearing and there was a little pond beside it
"oh my" Salome looks in amazement to the beautiful scene in front of her
"this place is a secret resting area, Wingal and I found a few years back" Blade said as he walks to a peculiar tree that had an X mark on it
"this place has been our favorite place to go ever since" Blade said as he caresses the X mark on the tree
Blade then hears the twins babbling as Salome looks to see a butterfly had landed on Alice's nose and Noah was looking at the butterfly like he was amazed by it
Alice then sneezes as the butterfly flies away
Salome giggles to the twins
"come" Blade said as he walks to the old tree
Salome nodded and pushes the stroller towards the old tree
They then set up a picnic blanket and place the twins to the blanket where they immediately started looking around the new area, they were in
Unknown to them, were Tifanny and some of the Jewel Knight Squadron who were following them
"maybe we should leave, they are just having a picnic" Tracie whispered to Tiffany
"no, not yet. We have no idea on whose children Lord Blaster Blade and Lady Salome are taking care of" Tiffany retorted in a whisper
"for all we know, those two might have a secret affair and are secretly married to each other"
The girls the squealed quietly to know that their second in command married the legendary hero
"shuuush! Quiet!" Tiffany hushed them as she turns her attention towards the happy people who are enjoying their picnic
Blade gives Noah an upsy daisy play as the baby boy laughs in a glee to the playing
Salome smiled while carrying Alice who wanted to do the same as her brother
Flogal came and sniffs Alice as the baby girl giggles to Flogal's tickling nose
Blade then sets down Noah on top of Barcgal as the high beast gives the child a piggy back ride
The happy looking 'family' played with the kids as they had so much fun with each other
"Noah!" Blade exclaimed as he quickly carries up the child before he falls into the pond
He sighs in relief before realizing that he was falling into the pond itself
SPLASH!
Blade's head got splashed into the water while Noah was still carried up in Blade's hand, safe and dry
He got out of the pond and his hair is soaking wet
Wingal, Flogal, and Barcgal laughs at the mighty warrior being wet
Salome giggles a bit before taking out a dry towel from her bag
She then went to Blade as she dried off his hair
Tiffany and the others look in disbelieve as to see how close the two are at being with each other
"those two are really with each other!" Tiffany squealed as everyone else could see the beautiful aura they see with the two
"let's get out before they notice us!" Tiffany said to the others as they all made a bolt out of the forest
Blade and Salome did not notice the jewel knight squadron running away as they were stuck in their own world
Evening
They were now on their way back as the sun was setting
Blade was pushing the stroller while carrying Noah in his arms as Salome was carrying an already asleep Alice
"thank you for today, Salome" Blade thanked her
"it was my pleasure, Blade" Salome said as she looks to Alice sleeping as the little girl snuggled more to Salome
"anything for the two" Salome said with a smile
Blade smiled back before hearing Noah babbling in his arms as he looks down to see Noah reaching his little hands towards Salome
Blade and Salome smiled to the little boy before Blade passes Noah who took the child into her arms with his twin beside him
They then went home as the kingdom's gate closes
Next morning
Jewel Knights dorm
Salome sat up on her bed as she stretches her body while yawning a bit
She then begins her day with a shower and then into her uniform before heading out of her room to grab breakfast
When she steps out of the room, she is bombarded with questions by her fellow sisters as they all ask her questions on whether, is she married to Blaster Blade or not
Salome could not process everything from all of the shouting and the screaming from her sisters
30 minutes later
They were all in the mess hall with Salome sitting beside Ashley who was rubbing her forehead in stress
"and whose idea was it to spy on Salome?" Ashley said as everyone pointed towards Tiffany who was shocked at the betrayal of her sisters
"I see…" Ashley said as she stared at Tiffany with a hard look for a minute before sighing
"okay, then" Ashley looks to everyone and crosses her arms
"one, what you all did yesterday is very rude" Ashely said in a commanding voice as everyone looks down in guilt
"second, the children you all saw with Salome and Blade? They were Blaster Blade's children who he had adopted into his care, Salome was just helping him in taking care of them"
"and lastly, if they were too be married, don't you think the entire Cray would have known?"
Everyone thought of what their leader said and nodded as they realized it
Ashley sighs as she was stressed on the morning fuss her squadron had made
Knock knock knock
The sound of the door being knocked grabbed their attention as a voice spoke from behind it
"excuse me"
The voice said as the door was pushed open as they see Blaster Blade coming in
"you have called me?" Blade said as he sees everyone looking to him
"yes" Ashley said as she welcomed him in
"please give my squadron the explanation they need"
Blade nodded and was about to explain to them on what the real situation is, if not for the sound of crying could be heard from outside
As everyone sees Gallatin, and Marron coming into the room while both of them were carrying Alice and Noah who were crying
"Blade, help us!" Gallatin exclaimed out as he was having a hard time calming down a crying Noah
"they suddenly started crying!" Marron said as he tried caressing Alice to ease her crying
Blade sighed as he took Alice from Marron and did his best to calm the child down
Salome quickly made her way to them as she carried Noah from Gallatin
"there, there," Salome cooed the child as she rocked him back and forth
Noah sniffled as he slowly smiled to Salome
Blade smiled as he already calmed down Alice in his arms
They all settled down as Blade told them all the whole story
After he had finished telling them the whole situation, some of them were crying and blowing tissues as to hear what the children had to endure
"so….sad!" they all cried in tears to hear such tale
Blade and Salome smiled to their understanding
"well then, if you excuse me, it is best if we be on our way" Blade said as he carried Noah and Alice in his arms
"Salome" Blade called out her name as Salome nodded and followed him, Gallatin and Maron out of the room
Ashley and the rest of the jewel knights looks to them and they could tell that if Blade and Salome ever get married, they would give them the best wedding
That's a wrap!
Bye bye!
