Heirot

Elena found herself wanting to be sad. But, a voice whispered. "You didn't know her, don't feel sorry..."

So she didn't. She didn't feel sad for some strange reason.

"What do we do with the body?" She had strands of curly blond hair hanging down in her face and her hair cascaded over her smooth bare shoulders. It seemed ever since that dream she grew steadily more beautiful, or maybe it was her aura that grew different.

Her hair seemed to shine more, her eyes to sparkle more, her skin to glow more and be more smooth, her hair to be more curly, her smile to be more intoxicating...

Airen gazed at her in confusion. "I'm not sure. She didn't say anything about that in her letter." He wasn't sure what to do.

Elena's reaction surprised Airen. He knew that they had just met the woman, but Elena was usuaslly emotional about things.

"Maybe we should talk to some people around town who knew her." he said.

Elena nodded and handed the letter back to him. "I guess," she said softly, glancing out the door at the sleeping woman.

The town was more than happy to help them with the arrangements and understood what had happened.

A week later things were as nice as Elena could ever hope for them to be. She and Airen had moved the house around to where they liked it. Rooms had been redecorated and put to different uses. They had even already made a nursry for the baby.

Elena was in the kitchen washing up dishes in the wash tub, humming softly to herself.

She wore a simple blue dress with her blond curly hair pulled back into a silver clip. Around her waist was a white apron covered in flower. On the front of her dress she had small spots of flower that would lead anyone to beleive she had been cooking.

Airen walked in from outside. He had been helping people out in the village for the past few days. He had got to know most of the people who lived there and also made a little mokney to live off of.

He saw Elena standing in the kitchen as he entered the house. She was so elegant and graceful. Her soft humming set a nice calm mood in the house. He walked over to her and put his arms around her waist. He rocked her back and forth and whispered in her ear from behind her head," How are you this morning, my darling?" He softly kissed her neck.

"Tired," she said softly, closingher eyes and relaxing in his embrace.

"I guess the baby is draining my energy..." she commented, sighing and putting a hand on her belly. It hadn't groan much at all, but her symptoms had worsten more.

Airen smiled and continued to kiss her neck. "If your tired we could go to bed?" He gently carressed her hands as she held them over her belly.

Elena smiled and turned around in his arms. "Oh? Bed?" she asked and hopped up, wrapping her legs around his waist. "Carry me... I'm just too weak to walk..." She kissed him passionatly.

Airen embraced her pasionately and kissed her welcoming lips. It had been a little while since they had made love and Airen was longing for her touch.

He picked her up and and carried her into the bedroom. He passoinately kissed her the whole way. "I love you so much," he said. He laid her on the bed and began undressing her. His fingers moved across her silky skin soothing her every muscle. His lips slowly moved down her neck and to her collar bone.

Airen could feel the heat and sweat flooding from their bodies. Her soft breasts pressed against him as he pulled her close.

Elena climbed off the bed, leaving Airen sleeping. She pulled the sheets back over him to keep him warm. She took a quick bath and went into the kitchen to make them breakfast.

It was a pretty day outside she noticed as she stood in front of the window, cutting some bread into loafs to butter.

Aiern stirred a little in the bed. The cotton sheets felt so soft and warm against his bare skin. He stretched out his arms and yawned. He rolled over to feel the softness of his love, but he didn't find her.

He forced his resting eyes open to look around the room. He found his clothes on the floor beside the bed and put them on. He stretched again and wiped his eyes.

"Good Morning" Airen said as he walked into the kitchen and found Elena. She looked so beautiful. " It smells great. What are you cooking?" he walked over and kissed her softly.

Elena smiled at him and went back to her cooking. "Eggs and bacon and sausage..." she said to him as she put the eggs on a plate and the sausage and bacon with it. She turned around and placed to plates on the table opposit of each other.

"There!" she said happily, turning around to poor fire on the coals of the stove.

"Eat up!" she said and smiled at him, sitting down in her seat.

Airen walked over to the sink and washed his hands. He took a seat across from her and took a bite of his sausage. He never knew how he had went so long without the good taste of a well cooked meal. He savored the taste of his food as he ate it slowly.

"This is really good," he complemented. He finished what little bit was left on his plate and pushed it aside. He belched a as quietly as he could. "Excuse me!" He rubbed his stomach and leaned back in his chair.

Elena laughed and continued to eat her food at her usual slow pace. "Like it?" she asked in a soft voice. She took up the plates and put them in the wash tub.

"Well! What are you doing today?" she asked him, turning around and leaning against the counter.

"I don't know," he looked out the window. It was a beautiful day. The sun shined down on the world bringing evevything new life. " I'll probably just hang around the village as usual."

He knew he had to go to Sinead before long, but he wasn't in a hurry. He knew he had to apologize for the sake of Elena and his unborn child, even though he really didn't want to.

"Is there anything you would like to do?" He asked smiling. They hadn't really done anything together since they'd settled down.

"Fishing?" she asked softly, smiling. "I've always wanted to try it... and we do need something to cook for dinner, unless you want to have chicken again!"

She walked into there room and grabbed a pair of boots that were made just for going around in murky and muddy places.

She grabbed a ribbon off her nighstand and pulled her hair up with it, tying the ribbon into a bow.

"Okay! I'm ready!"
