Hey guys, another chapter up! Yay! I hope you'll enjoy this. Please leave a review. I revised it because I felt that the sex scene was too fast and too soon. So I changed it up a little bit. I hope you are happy with it. Thanks!

Few weeks has passed and I learned the language Chingachgook taught me, so I was able to understand and speak to him in his language.

Chingachgook is like my grandfather I never had and he's a wonderful man.

So one day, when I was helping him with supper.. I had a question that was bugging me all day. So I finally had the guts to ask him.

"Chingachgook, why Nathaniel doesn't have a wife? I'm sorry to ask you and you don't have to answer---" Chingachgook interrupted me.

"I can tell you why. When we had the French and Indian war, he fell in love with this woman. Her name was Cora Munro. He was with her all the time... protecting her from the Hurons. She had a sister, Alice.

I never told you this, but I had a son once. His name was Uncas. He was in love with Alice, and she was in love with him too. One day, the Hurons captured Alice and Cora, but Hawkeye saved Cora. Uncas was trying to save Alice but a evil man named Magua killed him. Alice saw his death and she committed suicide by jumping over the cliff. Cora saw her death. She was very devastated.

Few months later, Cora left Hawkeye because she felt that Alice's death was his fault and oh alright, she blamed him. She traveled back to England, and she married a rich man... only to die in childbirth in year. Hawkeye was devastated by her death. Cora was his first true love. I believe there is a saying... You never forget your first true love."

I sighed and nodded.

"Yes, it's true. You never forget your first true love. I'm so sorry about Uncas. It's a shame. The reason I was asking you about his love is because... he must be so lonely."

He smiled and put down his knife and turned to me.

"I am going to tell you something and do not get angry at me when I say this. Alright?" I frowned but nodded.

"When you are not paying attention, I have see Hawkeye looking at you. I think he's beginning to fall in love with you.

I've see the look on his face before. All I ask you is please don't hurt him if he ever confess his love to you. I don't want to see him unhappy again."

"I understand. I don't want to hurt him but I don't want him to hurt me too. I thought I had a true love once but he broke my heart. I swore to myself that I would never be with someone again because I'm afraid to get hurt again. I don't want to talk about this anymore." I say, chopping vegetables.

He nodded and went back to cut up the meat. We cooked in silence until Nathaniel got back from hunting and realized that we were not talking to each other while cooking.

I finished with the vegetables and the bread and set them on the table.

"Is everything alright?" Nathaniel asked, sitting down at the table.

"Yes, we're fine, Nathaniel. The turkey should be ready in a minute."

I went back to the kitchen to get something and Chingachgook stopped me from leaving.

"Are you angry at me? I just wanted to warn you."

"I am not angry at you.. fine, yes, I am angry at you just a little. I'm just not ready right now. Let me go."

He let me go and I walked out of the room.

We ate supper in silence. Nathaniel would ask us questions and we would say yes or no to his questions.

When supper was done, I stood up and took the plates from the table and walked into the kitchen.

I grabbed the soap and begin to clean the dishes.

"You're angry about something."

I got startled, and turned around to face Nathaniel.

"You scared me. Don't do that again."

"I apologize. Did Chingachgook say something that made you angry?"

I stared at him for a mintute and went back to the dishes.

"No, he didn't say anything. I'm fine." I lied.

"You're lying. There is something wrong and you won't tell me."

I sighed in frustration and turned around to look at him.

"I'm not lying! I am fine and there is nothing wrong. I... please stop asking me what's wrong."

"I'm just concerned about you is all." He got closer to me and caress my cheek with his hand. "I care about you more than you know." He drops his hand and moved backwards. "Good night, Emily."

He walked away, leaving me in shock and blushing.

I touched my cheeks and they were hot. I fanned myself to cool down.

I went back to my chore and finished finally.

I came out and they were not there.

I went to my room and got ready for bed. I lay down in the bed.

I could not go to sleep at all. I just lie there, staring the ceiling. It must be midnight now. I got out of the bed and put the wrap around my shoulders. I grabbed the extra blanket and sneak out of my room quietly to outside.

I found a spot and put down the blanket on the grass. I lay down on my back and gaze at the stars. There are millions of stars out there tonight. I remember when I was a child, I would lie there with Gabriel and Thomas, gazing at the stars and making wishes.

I smiled at the memory. I miss Thomas so much. I remembered Margaret telling Susan about our Mama being in the North Star, watching over them.

I looked for the North Star and I found it.

"Hi Mama. I'm okay now." I whispered

I felt something next to me and it was Nathaniel. He had lie down next to me quietly.

"I didn't hear you." I looked at him, then looked back at the stars.

"Why are you out here tonight? You should be sleeping."

"I couldn't sleep tonight so I decided to come out and look at the stars. It's dreamy and peaceful. It helps me to go to sleep. You?"

"I.. I thought you had left and I came out to stop you. But I was wrong. You wouldn't leave us without saying goodbye, right?"

"Of course, I wouldn't do that."

We gazed at the stars for while, and then I asked him a question.

"Where is your real family?"

"They buried my Ma and Pa and my sisters. Chingachgook found me with two French trappers, raised me up as his own."

"I'm sorry."

"I do not remember. I wasn't but one or two."

"How did you learn English?"

"My father sent Uncas and I to Reverend Wheelock's school when I was ten... so we would know both worlds."

I looked at him.

"Chingachgook told me about Uncas. It's so sad." I sighed heavily and closed my eyes for a minute. I opened them and he was staring at me, then looked back at the stars.

"I have a family back home but.. the truth is that I'm adopted. My father was killed in French and Indian War and my mother died of cancer few weeks after I was born. I was adopted by my late mother's best friend. I found out that I was adopted the day my brother was murdered. I understand what is like to be alone... even you have a family. I have a locket of portrait of my mother and father. Everyday, when I get up in the morning, I open my locket and take a look at them.. to say hello. Then I go on to continue my day."

The wind is blowing softly and I look at the trees moving in silence. I looked up at the moon. It's full tonight.

"My father's people say that at the birth of the sun and of his brother the moon, their mother died. So the sun gave to the earth her body, from which was to spring all life. And he drew forth from her breast the stars. The stars he threw into the night sky to remind him of her soul. So there's your parents' monument. My folks' too, I guess."

We looked at each other and he smiled gently.

"It's a beautiful story. If you look at the North Star, it's for my adopted mother. She died when I was 13 years old." I say, pointing at the North Star.

"I will tell you why I was angry tonight.. as long as you promise me that you won't get angry at Chingachgook."

"Alright.. I promise."

" He told me that every time I'm not paying attention.. that you look at me. He thinks that you're in love with me. He told me about Cora and how you got hurt and everything. He warned me that If I broke your heart by denying your love.. you would be unhappy again and I don't want to get hurt again.. I.. oh god, why am I telling you this?"

I covered my eyes. Nathaniel sits up and lean over me, taking my hands off my eyes.

"He's right about me. I am in love with you. I thought I would never be in love again.. after what happened with Cora. I am glad you came into my life now. If you are afraid that I would hurt you... I won't ever. I can promise you that."

I sighed heavily. He caresses my cheek again.. sending chills down my spine.

He leans down on me and kisses my forehead.. nose... cheeks, then finally, my lips. It was a soft kiss.

After he did that, I opened my eyes and he was looking at me with love. He leaned down again and kissed me again. It turned into the passionate kiss and I put my arms around his neck, his hands on my face.

We stopped kissing and he picked me up into his arms, carrying me inside of the house. He took me into my bedroom and put me down gently.

I looked at him, caressing his face. We kissed some more and when he tried to lift my nightgown, I stopped him.

"We're going too fast. I want to take time to get to know you. I don't want to regret it if we made love now. I'm sorry."

"No, don't be sorry. I am sorry.. you're right. Good night. Sweet dreams, my love." I smiled when he said my love.

"Good night, Nathaniel." We kissed and he left.

I sighed and smiled. He's the one... I know in my heart, he's the one.

I got into my bed and fell asleep. I dreamt about Nathaniel. I smiled in my sleep.
