"Please sleep softly,
leave me no room for doubt"
-Lianne La Havas "No Room for Doubt"
Lilith found that being together with Alice and Jasper was no different than when they were friends. The only difference was becoming more intimate and physical, such as kisses on the lips and endearing looks that they no longer had to hide. The way Jasper would wrap his arms around her waist from behind or how Alice would reach up and cup her face lovingly before giving a kiss. It was a bit surreal now that she thought about it. When they returned home from that fateful night two weeks ago, hand in hand, the rest of the family gushed in excitement, much to Lilith's embarrassment.
Not that she didn't mind, in fact she was still reeling at the fact that she was Alice's and Jasper's mate. Centuries of being alone, grieving, letting herself become comfortable in solitude...it was a nice change. She was sure that Daniel and Tonie would want her to be happy, so she took that in stride. So this is how she found herself, facing off Jasper in a game of chess on Christmas Eve, with the sounds of Edward playing merry tunes on his piano filled the house.
She stared intently at the board eyeing her availble moves. Jasper was a phenomenal player, they had been at this game for at least three hours and neither had budged. At the two hour mark, Alice had come to watch them and the two of them gave her a glare as if to say 'Don't spoil it.'. The little pixie simply giggled and tapped her index finger to her lips for the sign of silence.
Lilith glared at Jasper's chess army and huffed, crossing her arms. "No matter if I move my rook this turn or my bishop the next, we would be yelling checkmate at each other for the next five rounds until it was a draw."
Jasper raised a brow and scrutinized the board once more. He leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head and laughed.
"You are a formidable player Lilith, with indomitable focus."
Lilith snickers at Jasper's statement, amusement alight in her eyes. "Yes, well," she grins, showing off pointed canines. "It comes with age my dear." Black eyes look at Alice, who was now sitting in Jasper's lap. "And I supposed you knew this outcome all along, hm?"
Alice bit her lip with a grin, giggling. "Guilty as charged."
Jasper watched the two begin to tease each other back and forth. It was becoming a regular occurrence between the two and Jasper always found amusement during them. As he watched Alice and Lilith, he couldn't help but to feel his chest fill with love, the past two weeks have been wonderful now that all three of their feelings had been revealed.
Jasper found that loving Lilith and showing his affections to her was different, in a good way. It was a bit jarring, how patient she was when one of them fumbled or was unsure how to express their feelings to two people at the same time. It was at those times Jasper briefly remembered that Lilith had been in this type of relationship before. She hasn't spoken of it, or them, her family, since their confession. As he and Alice agreed, she would tell them more when she was ready.
The way Lilith effortlessly maneuvered between the two of them, from soft touches to kisses was natural to her. Jasper could feel the contentment and love she held for the two of them, and even though she hasn't said those magical three words to them yet, Jasper found that he didn't care, as long as Lilith was happy.
Alice would find out that Lilith was a very physical person. From huge embraces to small chaste touches, she found that Lilith would always seek physical contact when near the two of them. They didn't mind, they would never mind. It was endearing and Alice sought solace in it, feeling the warmth of Lilith's fingers rub her hand, neck, scalp for whatever comforting gesture Lilith did. Even when Lilith was asleep, her body still recovering from the crippling effects of her capture, she sought the comfort of their embrace.
A leg intertwined with Alice's, or her head buried in Jasper's chest, some part of Lilith had to be touching them. Even when she woke and curled into herself from the pain of her nightmares, one of them was always there to make sure she could feel their presence and lull her back to sleep.
With physical reassurance, mental reassurance came with it too. Jasper was always on alert with Lilith's emotions and how they fluctuate. Lilith would be wary and hesitant at times with the two of them. Still somehow unsure that they were positive that they wanted to be with her. That would always be rectified with a kiss or reassuring words from the both of them. There were times when Lilith could not rest again after a night terror and it would scare Alice how silent Lilith would become during most of the day. Jasper would always remind her to give Lilith time and space, they were still new at this but they always made sure that they were by her side no matter the situation.
But there were always the little things both Alice and Jasper took note of as well. The way Lilith's eyes would brighten from her laughter. The small smiles that held fondness and love as she watched the two of them show centuries of love and commitment between each other. Jasper found Lilith's quick wit attractive, especially during their game of chess. Alice enjoyed their teasing, seeing how fast the two of them could get each other riled up.
The triad's relationship was new and different, with each passing day they learned more about each other and they basked in that change.
"Alice, genies are spirits, not Robin Williams."
"Wait they're real!?"
Jasper was brought back to the present by both of his mate's banter. Lilith had crossed her arms, staring at Alice in amusement, whose nose was scrunched and brow furrowed in thought.
"Hun, basically every supernatural being is 'real' in some shape or form. Genies, mummies, zombies. All benevolent, in the genie case, or malevolent spirits, souls, what have you."
Alice sighed and rubbed her temples muttering to herself. "Just when you think you know everything."
Lilith laughed and stood up from the small game table the three were surrounding. She gave the two of them a smile as she stated. "I'm going to go help Esme cook dinner, Bella should be over in about an hour or so."
With that Lilith bounded out of sight, she was surprised to hear Edward's tone of the music he was playing shift. Seeing Esme in the kitchen she soon figured out why.
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I use to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear the sleigh bells in the snow."
Carlisle was singing, his voice light and melodic. Esme was in his arms, a loving grin that reached her eyes. The couple was swaying back and forth, making their own impromptu dance. Lilith found herself smiling as she watched the patriarch of the Cullen clan serenade his mate.
When Esme joined in to sing with him, the tune became more beautiful if possible. Esme's voice was smooth and warm like honey, her feminine tone complimenting Carlisle's own.
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white"
The tune trailed off as Carlisle spun his wife in his arms and Lilith could hear Edward snort as the melody changed to a more upbeat tune. Carlisle, Esme, and Lilith turned their gaze to the living room where Emmett cleared his throat.
Lilith covered her mouth as she held in a bout of laughter. The large vampire had changed into an ugly Christmas sweater, the image being the silhouette of a deer head with a pentagram behind it, the words reading 'Jingle Bells! Go to Hell!'.Without out a doubt Lilith automatically knew he bought it to tease her. What was even more amusing was a top hat that looked to be from the 1920s adorning Emmett's curly locks and a cane in his hand.
Emmett wiggled his eyebrows and began to sing.
"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas,
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes a glow!"
Emmett's deep bass of a voice seemed to fit perfectly with Johnny Mathis' carol. Along with his playful jigs and skips as he swung his cane, it made for an amusing sight. His wife appeared next to him, Rosalie stared with her arms crossed along with a rare smile showing on her face. Emmett winked at the blonde, still singing as he took of his top hat and bowed slightly to her. Rosalie laughed, and snatched the hat away from him, throwing it on the couch. Emmett grinned and just as Carlisle and Esme did moment's before they danced together, Rosalie joining in on the next verse.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow."
Rosalie's singing voice was a bit deeper than what Lilith was expecting but it suited her. The pair went through another verse twirling around the room before the tune changed once again. Slower, but still within the Christmas spirit. Lilith had to hand it to Edward, he was very talented and seemed to shift between pieces flawlessly.
A smooth baritone came from down stairs, singing the familiar tune of Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song'.
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,"
Another voice, drastically different joined in. The tinkling tenor, balancing the baritone.
"Jack Frost nipping at your nose,"
Lilith stared at Alice and Jasper, mouth slightly agape, as they walked down the stairs together. The two voices meshing together perfectly, Esme was grinning, hands clasped together as she watched the spectacle of her children singing.
Lilith had to smile as well. The positive energy surrounding the family was too much to bear. Not giving her time to second guess herself, she joined Alice and Jasper for the next verse.
"Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight."
She heard them falter a moment when she joined in, caught of guard from her vibrato-rich voice. Quickly getting back in sync, Jasper held out a hand to Lilith, an offer to dance. Lilith smiled in return and took the offered hand. With combined melodies, dancing, and laughter all around, Bella would enter the household quite confused seeing a family a vampires and a fallen angel singing Christmas carols at the top of their lungs.
"Emmett you will do no such thing!" Alice hissed in the doorway of what was now known as triad's bedroom. Lilith was confused at first when Alice told her that she had a room as well. Jasper then informed her that Alice's room was more like her closet than a place she relaxes in. It was also to keep up appearances of course.
Right now however, it was early morning, around seven o'clock and all night Emmett had been giddy with excitement the way any young child would be Christmas morning. At the moment, he was arguing with Alice if he could wake up Lilith now, who was curled up against Jasper, sleeping peacefully.
"Let her sleep Em! She just recently stopped being sick every night, she needs the rest. Another two hours won't kill you."
"Alice…." Emmett whined.
"Hush!" Alice hissed again, arms crossed. "You're going to wake her."
"Too late." A sleepy mumble interrupted the arguing. Lilith hummed in content as her body slowly regained movement and activity as she woke.
Emmett ginned sheepishly at a glaring Alice before speeding past her and picking up Lilith, who protested with a yelp.
"Nuh-uh! No going back to sleep! It's Christmas that means presents!" Emmett carried the woman over his shoulder and turned his head back to Jasper who was in mid-action of taking back his mate from Emmett. "Put some pants on bro, we'll be downstairs."
"Emmett!" Lilith laughed. She lifted her head and smiled fondly at Alice and Jasper. "Might as well go with the flow," she then gently hits Emmett on the back. "And you you're ninety-one years old Emmett, not four. Honestly I would think you would have some self control on Christmas."
"Nope!" Emmett popped the 'p' as he carried Lilith downstairs. The ebony woman was placed on the familiar white couch in the living room and before she could blink, a large blanket was around her shoulders and Emmett was handing her a cup of tea. Lilith grinned and laughed softly.
"Thank you Em, did you make this?"
The burly vampire nodded, gold eyes bright with excitement. "Yeah, uh, Esme helped mostly, I just poured the water in."
Lilith snorted into her cup and black eyes watched as Emmett crouched down in front of the large tree, now littered with presents and began sorting them by name. She took note how he didn't use his vampiric speed. Emmett was gentle and methodical in his work, carefully inspecting each gift for a name and placing them in their respective piles. Lilith's gifts piled up in front of her, with Jasper's and Alice's own mounds next to her's. Emmett placed Esme and Carlisle's pile near the loveseat, pausing a moment to look at the present that was from her.
Emmett turned his head to raise a brow. "How did these get here?" He waved the present in his hand and gestured to the now noticeable pile of gifts that were from Lilith. Lilith in turn tilted her head with a smile.
"Magic." Lilith whispered conspicuously. Really, Lilith summoned the gifts from god knows where, but each of them were sentimental or handcrafted by her. Sure, it made her sleep for thirteen hours out of the day from the spent energy used afterwards, but it would be worth it.
Emmett huffed in disbelief and shook his head, turning back to sorting before his head snapped back up, Lilith followed his gaze to the kitchen.
"Ma! Presents first! Breakfast later!"
Esme paused mid motion of taking out food from the refrigerator. The motherly woman turned to face the two bodies that occupied the living room.
"I'm fine Esme." Lilith raised her mug in mock salute. "The tea should hold me off until we're done, please come and control your son."
"Hey!"
"She's right Esme." Jasper appeared into the room and Lilith almost busted a gut at the attire he was wearing. An ugly Christmas sweater with the words 'Whoa, whoa, whoa!', complementing the words was a knitted Santa riding a bucking reindeer.
Sensing his mate's amusement, Jasper sighed. "You can thank Alice for this." As he moved to his spot on the couch, a tinkling laugh made its way down the stairs. Alice, seemed to dance as she too, made her way to the couch, kissing Lilith's cheek in the process.
"You have to admit Lilith, doesn't he look cute?" Alice snickered.
Lilith hummed, sipping her tea before responding. Looking at Alice a mischievous grin was plastered on her face. "He does look rather dashing, doesn't he?"
Alice giggled and to Lilith's right there was another amusing sigh from the major. "Honestly…" he murmured.
Soon, the rest of the family gathered in the living room. Spirits still live and merry from last nights events. With everyone settled and comfortable in their respective gift piles, Alice clapped her hands excitedly.
"Carlisle, Esme, as always, you first!"
Carlisle chuckled, and shook his head lovingly. Most of the gifts he received from his children were an array of books he could add to his ever growing collection. It seemed that this christmas was no different. Numerous amounts of medical texts and classic novels graced his lap. Carlisle was grateful for each of them, noting how some seemed to be original copies or in Alice's case, books that haven't even graced shelves yet. When he reached Lilith's present, he wasn't surprised that by the weight and feel of the gift that it was also a literary item.
Tearing through the wrapping, Carlisle looked curiously at the multiple leather bound tomes that fell in his lap. He felt the material, it was old and worn, but seemingly in perfect condition. Opening the book his eyes widened as the hebrew language could be seen written across the pages. He would have to brush up on hebrew when he got the chance…
"Lilith?" Carlisle inquired as he looked up, he wasn't sure what these books contained, but he was excited to find out, as shown in his twinkling eyes.
The dark skinned woman smiled, head nodding towards the old books in his lap. "You said you wanted to learn more about the time period I was born in, right? Those books you're holding are old scholarly texts written by my father." Lilith shrugged as Carlisle stared at her with wide eyes. "Of course his teachings may be out of date," she laughed. "But I hope you find them interesting."
Carlisle grinned, looking like a child in a candy store. "Thank you Lilith."
Next up was Esme, who, in all honesty, Lilith wanted to protect the woman from any sorts of evil based on the reactions she portrayed with the gifts she was given. From Emmett and Rosalie a plot of land in the mountains of Alaska she could begin working her next project on. It was an amusing sight to see Esme lift her gigantic son up off the floor. From Edward, new architecture materials for Esme to sketch and design for her hearts content. Ruffled hair and peppering kisses is what Edward received, much to his embarrassment. With Alice and Jasper, they surprised her with blueprints and materials for a greenhouse, which Esme loved. Lilith and Alice giggled seeing Jasper's sheepish look as he received the same treatment as Edward did.
Finally from Carlisle, the man bought her a house somewhere in Germany. Lilith had to blink at that and she looked towards Jasper in question. The southern man chuckled and lifted her hand that was intertwined with his and kissed her knuckles.
"That's not most expensive present he's given her, trust me." he said.
"The most expensive was the island he bought her." Alice quipped from beside her, her own dainty hands rubbing circles on Lilith's thigh.
Lilith choked mid-sip on her beverage. "An island?"
Edward, from his position on the floor near the tree hummed in confirmation. "It's quite nice too."
"Emmett and I stop by there from time to time to make sure the furniture doesn't just sit there and rot." Rosalie stated, she was sitting in between Emmett's legs, eyeing Carlisle and Esme, who were passionately lip locked during their conversation. The blonde turned her head to Edward with a raised brow.
Edward rolled his eyes and cleared his throat. Snapping the couple out of their embrace. Lilith knew if Esme was able to blush, she would be doing so at this moment. She moved to Lilith's gift, it was small and compact. Opening it, Esme was surprised to find a bag of seeds, ones she couldn't identify.
"Those are ethereal seeds. They grow flowers filled with colors so bright that the human eye hasn't even seen them in this realm." Lilith explained. "When Jasper told me about your gift from him and Alice, I decided you needed some plants to go in that green house right?"
Esme beamed at Lilith, speeding over to squeeze her in a motherly embrace. Lilith laughed softly and thanked Alice for her foresight as she took her mug of tea away from her just as Esme gathered the woman into her arms.
With the entirety of the Cullen clan thoroughly mothered, it was time for the children to open their gifts. From Esme, all of them received homemade sweaters, Lilith could tell she put time and effort into the task, as the material was soft and warm, she could feel the love put into every stitch. Lilith balked and choked on a laugh when Emmett quickly took off his current shirt to put on Esme's creation.
When Emmett and Rosalie opened their respective presents from Lilith, both of them were intrigued. Emmett's gift was an intricate wood carving knife, the hilt seeming to be made of ivory and on the blade were celtic markings calling back to Emmett's human heritage. For Rosalie it was jewelry, the most notable piece being a metallic bracelet with the same markings as Emmett's knife. When asked where Lilith received these, she responded short and sweet.
"I made them."
Seven pairs of golden eyes stared at her incredulously.
"You what?" Alice narrowed her eyes beside her, spiky hair bouncing to one side as she tilted her head.
Lilith hummed, she turned her hand upwards, palms exposed, showing the rough marks an callouses that graced the skin. "I made them by hand, blacksmithing and metal work is a habit and skill I enjoy during my spare time." She watched as Alice took her hand, cool thumbs running over her palm. "I simply conjure the materials and fire in my hand and shape them. More time consuming without the proper tools, but it makes a more personal craft."
Rosalie had a genuine smile graced her lips. "You didn't need to do this, you've already done so much for everyone without even realizing." She fiddled with the bracelet mesmerized by the detail put into the gift. Rosalie knew Emmett enjoyed his own much more than he let on, a quirk that remained from his human life was his enjoyment of wood carving.
Lilith gently slipped her hand from Alice's own and waved it passively. "It's nothing, really!" she protested when she saw the look Rosalie was giving her. "You'll find all the gifts I've given so far are handmade or personal, that's my choice. I couldn't have asked for better friends or family." Her smile faltered a little bit as she elaborated. "I can't thank you all enough for everything you've done. So this is my way of showing it."
Lilith felt Jasper's arm work around her waist as he pulled her in close of comfort. Really, she owed all of them, Jasper and Alice especially, for taking care of her. So putting her energy and soul into her gifts was the best she could do for now.
Emmett thanked Lilith profusely for his gift after Rose and then they moved on to Edward. His gifts were mainly music oriented and Lilith's present was no different. Edward gaped as his eyes widen at the manuscript in his hands.
"This is-"
"The original compositions of Johannes Brahms? Yes it is. His diary is also in there as well, if you wish to read it."
"How?" Edward inquired, flipping through the documents with great care.
"He was a an acquaintance of mine, way back when."
Edward chuckled, running a hand through his copper-bronze locks. "I should've known." Edward teased.
"Keep up that attitude and I'll just withhold the other hundreds of original compositions I keep for safe keeping." Lilith scoffed playfully.
It was finally Alice's and Jasper's turn and Lilith found herself a bit nervous when they would reach her gift. It was a rather intimate one, but she hoped that the two of them would love it nevertheless. A new pair of boots for Jasper from Emmett and quite humorously a three way chess board from Edward, Lilith was sure that was going to be put to use rather soon from the challenging look in Jasper's eyes. For Alice it was numerous amounts of designer clothes and shoes, and from Jasper tickets to next year's fashion week. Jasper had obviously surprised her with this gift, because next thing Lilith knew, Alice was sitting sideways in her lap and rewarding Jasper with numerous amounts of kisses.
Jasper chuckled into Alice's mouth and tapped her thigh, letting her know that they should continue with their remaining present. Alice remained on Lilith's lap, much to her embarrassment, as she and Jasper opened their gifts from her.
Jasper could feel the waves of nervousness coming from Lilith, obviously it was from the act of opening her gift. But Jasper found himself speechless as he stared at the neckless in his hands. The metal seemed to hum with an unknown but familiar energy. The chain was detailed and it looked like the individual links flowed together instead of being separate. The flat metallic square that dangles from the chain was obsidian in color. Jasper rubbed his thumbs across the piece feeling the carvings of the strange characters that seemed to call to him.
"En Geraa od En Ror," The musical words fell from Lilith's lips in a whisper. "My Moon," Black eyes stared at Jasper. "And My Sun." her gaze shifted to Alice. "I made these at first, as a sign for our friendship. After everything you two have done for me, how you've been by my side, the english language could not describe the gratitude I have."
Jasper clenched the necklace in his fist as his free hand came to connect with Lilith's squeezing it in reassurance.
"There's a little piece of me in there." Lilith reaches around with her free hand to poke Alice's piece of jewelry. "No matter how far I go or where I am, I'll be with you. Cheesy I know." She chuckles.
Alice shakes her head this time and turns her body so she has an easier time facing Lilith. The fallen angel could see the unsheddable tears in Alice's eyes as she leaned down to give Lilith a chaste kiss. "No." Alice stated as she broke away. "It's perfect."
"Really?"
It was Jasper's turn, with his free hand he cupped Lilith's face and gave her a kiss of his own, pouring his love and appreciating into the action. When the broke apart, Jasper kissed her forehead and pulled back. "Really." he confirmed.
Lilith smiled, her fears quelled and heart swelling in her chest. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Emmett also grinning like a buffoon, but when she caught his gaze he began making kissy faces and batting his eyes. Lilith felt her brow twitch, she'd get him back for that sooner than later.
For now Lilith basked in the Christmas spirit and began opening her own presents. She laughed at the books Rosalie and Emmett pitched in to get her. All of them books on Satanism and other hellish topics Lilith would enjoy reading from a human's perspective. She practically drooled over the amount of exotic teas Esme and Carlisle had bought for her and she was surprised at Edward's gift.
"A fiddle?" Lilith's hands roamed over the instrument in awe. Her eyes then narrowed. "Is Bella pregnant?"
Jasper and Carlisle coughed into their hands muffling their own amusement from Emmett's boisterous laugh and Edward's sputtering.
"No! Why would you think-? You said you played!" Edward tripped over his words and backtracked for a few more seconds before he saw Lilith's mischievous grin. "You're teasing me aren't you?"
"Of course! This is a lovely gift Edward thank you." Lilith would definitely have to play some tunes soon.
Alice and Jasper were up next and Lilith would have sworn she had a heart attack when jasper held up a small box. They were quick to reassure her that it wasn't a proposal ("Not yet anyway." Jasper had spoke and a warm feeling settle in Lilith's chest at those words). As to be expected there was a ring in the box. Lilith examined it closely, the top of the ring consisted of the trinity circles, her thumb brushed over the engravings taking in the detail. On the inside, curvature numbers graced the smooth metal. Reading it Lilith made out the date where the three of them finally confessed their feelings for each other.
Lilith placed the ring on her right ring finger and beamed, immediately becoming the middle of a vampire sandwich afterwards.
Spirits were high in the Cullen household as gifts were finished being quickly helped Emmett cleaned up the pieces of paper scattered along the living room. Esme went to go place her presents in her room before the sounds of pots and pans being used graced occupants ears. It was only a matter of time before Esme returned to cooking.
Lilith enjoyed waiting for Bella to come over by watching cheesy Christmas movies with the others. Emmet was putting his knife to good use. Whittling away at a small block of wood with the dexterity no one thought he had.
When Bella did finally arrive, Lilith grinned. It wasn't just Christmas to her, no, it was also the anniversary of Lilith's life changing for the better of having a friend. Bella spotted her on the couch and made her way over with her own smile plastered on her face.
"Merry Christmas Lilith."
"Merry Christmas Bells, get the presents you wished for?"
A throaty chuckle passed the human's lips as she shook her head. "Nah," Bella shrugged "Besides, I've already had one wish come true in my life so far and that's good enough for me, right?" She held out her hand pinky extended.
Lilith's grin became even wider if possible as an ebony finger intertwined with a pale one as it did all those years ago. "Right."
Codex Entry: The Warrior
The journal is old, but well kept. Seemingly it is in perfect condition.
By steel and fire is my occupation in this heavenly realm, what would my father think? A scholar's daughter getting her hands dirty at the forge? Would I argue that the blades I create are noble and just? Metals that contain unfathomable power and attune to one's own soul? Hm, probably not. Either way the occupation and profession is enjoyable, I see many other angelic beings come and go to place their orders and either I or my workhand make sure it is done to the best of our abilities. But today was different, today was the day I met my bonded.
He obviously knew it too, for as soon as he stepped inside my shop he was not enthralled by the weapons that hung from the walls as a warrior would be, no, he was enraptured by me and I by him. Of course I tried not to let it show, he had business to attend to. His name was Daniel and as I write this his name rolls off my tongue like an exotic fruit. He was handsome I must admit. A strong jaw and sharp eyes, the sheet adoration on his face as he stared at me for what seemed to be the first time he laid eyes on a woman in his life. Hah! Daniel...*The word trails off a bit, the 'l' seeming to tail foe miles before picking back up in a new paragraph*
Enough daydreaming Lilith! You will see him again, after all he needs to come back for his blade.
Replies!
HeartlessVampireGirl: Haha! Yes! I know a lot of folks have probably been waiting for that faithful moment as well! I apologize I kept you up so late! I hope it was worth it!
MouseyKimmy: As always I thank you for your reviews you always leave me!
