The Moosehead Tavern [2]

I nod and look over at Jace again. So calm. So..cute. I smiled and looked back over at Kalen. "You should go snuggle with your daddy." I smiled.

Daddy cuddle with Mommy, Kalen smiles.

I shake my head, "I cuddle with Jace but..." I smiled. "Come here." I hold out one of my arms, the other claimed by Jace.

Kalen smiles and lets Rayah take him in her arms, not closing his eyes though.

I hold him tight, with one arm. Jace's eyes flicker open and I smile.

Taking a deep breath, Jace wakes, finding Kalen in Rayah's arms.
"I'm confused." He whispers.

"Why are you confused?" I asked, reaching for his hand.

"There's a kid in your lap." He says, twining his hand with hers.

I nodded, "Yeah?" I smiled looking at Kalen. "And?"

"I don't remember it being there before." He says.

I smiled, "Kalen woke up and came over to me." I said shrugging. "How does that make you confused?"

Kalen reached a fistfull of my hair and started playing with it. I smiled and let him.

"It's just weird to wake up to." Jace says. "He's not our kid."
Kalen signs something to him, telling him the equivilant of "And I will feel sorry for the kids you do have." Jace sends him a look before Rayah grabs his attention.

I shrugged, "Well, I think of him as one." I smiled and let Kalen touch the side of my face. He reaches up for my hair again, this time yanking on it. It didn't hurt, It was adorable.

Kelly Myers

I smiled as I watched the scene, it makes me miss and old mate of mine.

"Oh, Jace." I purred

"Remember what I told you the other day." I said.

Kalen smiles back at Rayah, turning to tug on Jace's hair. Kelly says something and Jace turns to you.
"The prophecy you told me?" He asks.
