He chuckles as he was told this as if he was the child himself. "I can't wait..." He watched her movements. "Our child would bear all your beauty and intellegents..."

"And will bear your spirit, strength and personality." She said warmly, reaching over and rubbing his hand softly.

"Hmm...Indeed..." He rubbed her hand with his thumb. "Our child is going to be truly gifted..with a mother who caring and loving..."

"And a father who would risk his life to protect him or her. Oh, I'm so excited to see our child now, I want to see how he or she will turn out."

"Me too!" He grins. "Just knowing that I'll be hearing pitter-patter of tiny feet brings chills down my spine. And that I'll be hold such a small form in my arms..."

Thanatos walked into the kitchen. "Good morning." He smiled softly at the two.

"Thanatos!? You looked as if you didn't get any sleep...What's up with that...?" He smirks knowing that him and Ai were having a bit of fun not taking any notice to the time.

Before Marybelle could reply to her lover she turned her head upand looked at her brother, smiling slightly. "Helloe brother." She said before stuffing another piece of raw bacon into her mouth.

Thanatos smiled and shook his head. "You know I was going to cook breakfast..." He walked over and bit the end off the raw peice in her mouth and ate it smiling. "But if you've not stuffed yourself I suppose I still can..."

Sai chuckles. "You can't blame her...She has to eat for two!"

"If so, then my baby is a hungry little devil..." She said softly, smiling a bit. "Oh, and Thanatos, I am still hungry." She said, swallowing the piece Thanatos bit from her mouth.

"Alright then what sounds good to you three?" Thanatos smiled softly, as he looked in the refrigerator.

"It doesn't matter as long as you cook it..." He gave a smirked over at his lover, teasing her cravings.

"Anything, Thanatos. Anything that'll fill me up, good god I might clear the fridge out I'm so hungry..."

Sai's eyes widen. This is going to be one interesting three months! He looked at her in shick. "Geez...that child of ours..." He chuckled. "Thanatos...I hope Ai isn't like this when she becomes withchild.

"I know...and remember we still have Kira who lives here too..." Thanatos pulled out the things to make stew.

Marybelle blushed and looked down at the tabke when she saw Sai's expression, pushing the plate away from herself. "I'm sorry..." She said sheepishly.

Sai double blinks at Thanatos' comment, remembering that Fugirir and Kira were doing the smae thing as they were. He then heard Marybelle, seeing her from the courner of his eye. "It is fine sweet heart!" He laughed. "It's just I never been around a woman who is withchild and a new experiance for me...and you as well...So eat until you and that child of ours is full!"

"Yes, there is no reason for either of you to starve..." Thanatos kissed his sister's forehead and handed her a cubed piece of beef.

She took the meat from his fingers and placed it into her mouth, blushing some more. "I'm still sorry.. You guys need some food as well.."

"Don't worry if I have to...I could go hunting...this place will be stocked with food again in no time!" Sai smiles at her rubbing her hand gently.

"And I still have enough money to feed us all...we'll all be taken care of." Thanatos cut vegetables up for the stew.

"Thanks, to the both of you. You're both so enthusiastic and positive. I'm completely blessed to have the both of you as my family, and my friends."

A soft smile came upon Sai's lips. "You and our unborn child is my main concern for now..."

"Expect me to spoil the baby thought...that's what uncles do." Thanatos put the meat and veggies in the broth and put them on the stove in a large black pot

"Geez...I can see it now..." He shook his head. "Our child is going to be spoiled rotten..." He looked into his beloved eyes.

"My child will not be a brat like mother was. Spoiled all ehr life and never thinking of anybody but herself." she said simply.

Sai laughs. "Yes darling...I know...I would hate myself if our child becomes like that..."

"I would hate Thanatos for spoiling her." She said playfully, smiling innocently at her brother.

"Her?!" Sai looked at her confused. "What makes you think its a girl...?"

"Sorry, kind of kept picturing my mother." She said, blushing slightly. "I'm sorry, him or her.

He chuckles. "You're fine! I was just teasing!"

"You're so mean.." She said playfully, slapping his head in a mock anger.

"Ow!" He snatched his hand back. "Now who's being mean!" He chuckles, laying his head on the table.

She moved her chair over so that she was next to her lover. She leaned over against him and purred softly. "I'm sorry, babe."

"HmmmHmmmm!" He nods, rubbing his cheek against hers.

"Thanatos, I can cook if you wish to rest for a moment... I do notm ind at all, brother." She said, looking up at him after nuzzling Sai's cheek.

Sai looked over at her brother then to her. "Are you sure you want to cook...?" He titled his head slightly. "I wouldn't want you to do too much around the manor...but if you are willing then go on while still can..." A low growl from his stomach came forth. He chuckled lightly with emarassment. His cheeks had a rose color to them as his nostrols filled with the delisous aroma.

Marybelle got up from her chair and went to the fridge, pulling it open and reachign in. She grabbed some packaged meat and shut it, tossing the food to her lover.

He chuckles catching the package meat with his mouth. He bit the package open as he pulled it from his mouth. "I could have waited until the stew was done..." He looked at his lover.

She smiled and sat back down next to him, shivering a bit. "It's actually kind of.. cold.." She muttered, nuddling into his side.

Sai wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her close to his body, sharing his body heat. "Feel better...?" He looked down at her. He pulled some of the meat into his mouth, tryng to crentch his hunger just a bit.

"Yes. Thank you Sai." She said, smiling warmly and looking at him, kissing his cheek.

He smiles tossing another peice of meat into his mouth. He looked about the place. His ear twitching slightly as his sights went back to Thanatos. "Hey...When are we going to have this talk...? I would like to get it over with and move on with what I have plan for today..." He says after swallowing his food.

"Yes, we're going to get some clothing and at the end of the week we're getting some pets for our child."

Sai smiles as he thought of the time that he gets with her down in town. "I also would like to have your hep with the painting and building for the child's bed room." He nuzzled Marybelle's neck. His excitement grew with each moment. He couldn't help but think of what their child will look like, let alone when the child will be born.

She smiled and let her tail wag. She placed her hand onto her lsightly plumped stomach and kissed her lover's lips softly. "I can't wait, either, Sai."

He smiles into the kiss as he lean into it but he remebered that Thanatos was present so he wouldn't want anything to go any further. So he ended the kiss early holding his lover close.

She laid her head against his shoulder and rubbed her stomach softly.

Sai placed his hand on her swollen stomach. A smile curving on his lips. He looked over at Thanatos. "If it isn't anytime soon...I would love to get the shopping part out of the way!" He looked down at Marybelle. "And at this moment I'm guessing Ai is asleep so this conversation we had plan isn't no time soon..." He stood up.

"Yes, Thanatos... We will be back in a little while." She said, standing up after Sai. "Hey, Sai.. You think perhaps I can barrow a pair of pants, too? I would not what any male trying to take a peak at me..."

"Of coarse! And I would like to see any man look at you with any lust in their eyes..." He growled as they made thier way to their bed room. "They'll suffer dearly..." He opened the door to Sai's and Maryblle's room.

---

Marubelle held Sai's hand gently as they walked out of their room, down the stairs and out the door into Glacial Peaks.

---

Thanatos yawned and fell asleep sitting at the dinning room table exhausted as he often was.

Ai wonders smelling a delious aroma. She spots a pot boiling over while a sleeping Thanatos laid his head on the table. She turns the stove down so that the food in it won't burn. She smiles at his sleeping form placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.

Before Marybelle could be bothered to take the new purchases up to her room she dropped the bags and sniffed the air, her mouth watering. "Yum, food is done!" she purred out happily, quickly skipping top the kitchen as the rest of the purchases came rolling in on the snow.

Sai shook his head. "Well, I'll be in the room!" He called after her with the rest of the bags in his hand. He wasn't hungry after all the shopping they did. He was tired and his shoulder hurt from the heavy box. He opens the door to Sai's and Maryblle's room.

she let out a soft whimper as she quickly turned on her heel and headed up the stairs after Sai, sensing he was still in pain from carrying the box holding the crib inside of it.

Thanatos jumped as he was touched. "hm?"

"Oh! I'm sorry! Did i scare you...? I didn't mean to..." Ai smiles down at him, running her fingers through his bangs.

"No....I'm fine..." Thanatos stretched his arms over the table gently.

"Good!" She smack his back. "I'm glad I came down in time to turn off the stew that you were cooking!" She sighed, looking about the kitchen. "I guess Sai and Marybelle are still in bed...?"

Thanatos hit his head to the table. "Ow... I don't know..."

Ai sighed again, sitting down next to him, rubbing his head. "I'm sorry..." She kissed his forehead.

"I don't know wen I'm going to get to sleep in this house..." Thanatos said setting his forehead back on the table and sighing.

Ai narrowed her eyes at him. "I told you to sleep when we've finished our love making but no...You had to leave the room...and to what sleep in the kitchen..." She sighed, shaking her head. "Go to bed mister..."

Thanatos listened to her scorn him and sighed. He lifted his head to sit his chin on the table. "I should go see if Marybelle needs me, so she doesn't get upset..."

"Thatatos..Your sister is fine...Just go to bed please...!" Ai begged him. "You need rest...You look as if you haven't slept in days..." She looked down at him worried.

Haku stepped out of the room, shutting it behind Sai only to feel and hear a looud thud against the door as he shut it. He winced slightly and sighed, shaking his head softly. "Seems she is taking it rather well, don't you think?"

"If you say an anger female who turns into ice werewolf is taking it well, then yeah!" Sai slumped down on the floor against the door. "This is the madiest I think I've seen her...Well at least throwing things wise. He heard anothe thud.

Haku chuckled softly and ran his fingers through his hair, nodding. "Oh, what is that smell?" He asked, sniffing the air like a dog would.

"Brother-in-law's cooking..." Sai smiles.

His wings flicked softly as he started walking down the stairs. "Smell heavenly.. Would he mind if I ate?"

"That stew should be done if you're hungry Ai...theres plenty to go around..." Thanatos stood up and kissed her head. "I'll be right back..." He walked out into the main hall and up towards Sai's and Maryblle's room.

Haku stopped in his tracks as he saw the light blue male making his way up the stairs, runnign his hand through his bangs to move them from his face. "Oh, and would you be the brother-in-law of Sai's?"

"Thanatos...If you're here to see Marybelle...I suggest to leave her alone right now...at least 'til the point she calms down..." Another thud was heard against the door. "Man...!" He growled a bit. "Stupid hornmones!" Another but louder thud hit the door indecating she as thrown something bigger at the door.

"Yes I am...there's food in the kitchen if you gentlemen are hungry...and Why? What's wrong?" Thanatos looked concerned as he stepped closer to the door.

"Um...We just found out that we're not just having one child..." He chuckled nervously. "We're having twins..." He smiled. "And she's taking it the wrong way..."

"I should've kept my mouth shut.." Haku said once more, sighing softly and watching the slightly shorter male near the door, a slight thud coming from inside the room.

Thanatos knocked on the door. "Marybelle?" He said through the door.

Sai moved from the door not want to get hit nor be in pain for his shoulder already hurts.

"She isn't speaking..." He registered after a moment of silence. "Maybe we should just let her calm down and leave her alone.."

"I agree with Haku..." Sai nods his head. "There are times that you leave a female alone...! And these are one of the times!"

Thanatos sat against the door and sighed. he proped his knees up and ran his fingers through his hair.

"You look beat..." Sai looked at him. "Did you get any sleep while me and Marybelle were gone...?"

Haku sighed softly and leaned bakc against the rail of the steps, his lips pressing into a thin line.

"No, I was worried Marybelle would need me or want to spend time with me and would be upset if she couldn't find me..." Thanatos lowered his head. "You guys can eat if you want I'll stay here..."

Sai looked over at him. "I'm not even hugry right now...All that shopping has worn me out..." He sighed. "Bu you need to get to bed...I'm surprised Ai hasn't made her way up here yet dragging you back into the room!"

The door suddenly opened, Marybelle looking out at the three men who all turned their attention to her. She seemed to have a slightly softer face than what it was a few moments before, and the crib was finished ont he other side of the door.

Haku quirked a brow as he saw the tan female, his wings flicking a bit. "Feeling better?"

Sai held his head in pain as the door hit his head trying to advoid it. "Yeah...Please tell me you feel better..." He looked up at his beloved.

Thanatos stood up and looked at her waiting for an answer.

Marybelle nodded softly and turned her head to look at Sai. "I'm sorry..." She said simply, noting she had hit his head.

"I'm fine..." He slowly stood up.

She walked past her brother and the other two men, her gaze at the ground. She made her way down the stairs and headed to the kitchen, her hunger noticed as he stomach growled.

Sai sighed as he headed back into the room (Sai's and maryblle's room).

Thanatos walked sleepily to Ai's and Thanatos' room to sleep for a while.

Marybelle walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table, her gaze shifting to stare at her clenched hands that were now on the table. She did not turn her head when she heard Haku walk into the kitchen behind her. She almost broke into sobs as she was embraced by his form, her shoulders slumping and her form turning so that she was nuzzling against his body and burrying her face nito his strong brown chest.

Ai sat there in wonderment of who the male was. She kept her mouth shut as she ate her food not wanting to upset Marybelle more.

"I'm having... two k-kids!" She said, but instead of sounding upset she actually sounded happy. She must've been in shock from being told she was having two, so much that she didnt' know how to precess such information.

Haku sighed softly and rubbed the back of her head softly, a small smile on his lips and he lifted her face by her chin and kissed her lips in a way only a friend could.

Ai smiles at the news as she sat there at the two. So Marybelle and Sai are having two instead of one...Congratulations...

Marybelle let out a sob covered chuckle and reached up, rubbing the back of the demon's head. "I'm sorry..."

Haku smiled slightly and stood up, picking her up along with him and carrying her out of the room. "Perhaps you should tell Sai that you are alright." He suggested, walking back up the stairs and heading for her room.

Marybelle smiled softly and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, nodding as the door to Sai's and Maryblle's Room was opened.

---

Ai waited for Thanatos' return while palying with the spoon in her bowl. She sighs as she stood up, tired of waiting. If he was going to hang out with his sister...He could've just say so! She wondered off to a huge room that was filled with beautiful flowers. The ones that can only grown in such cold weather. She smiles softly as she caress the petals of a white rose with an outter rim of blue on its edges reminding her of her lover. A sigh escaped her lips. I just really wished that he wasn't so hard-head at times...If he's tired then why doesn't he sleep... she blushed what happened last night. It was her fault that he didn't get any sleep at all. Her ears lowered as her eyes swelled up with tears. Is it because of me that he's like this... She whimpered, wipping the tears from her face. She wondered over to the door way lking towards Ai's and Thanatos' room. She tries to open it slightly but saw that it was locked. She doesn't remember locking the door. She shruggs walking away to a place that seems like the laundary room, she found some cloths and pulled them on her form. I need to go and clear my head just a bit... She went to the door opening it going out into the glacial peaks.

---

Thanatos walked down stairs and looked around. "Everyone gone?" He said softly looking around. Axis bound up to him "Hey boy..." He knelt to him. "I'm sorry I haven't spent time with you either have I?" Thanatos petted the dog. "Let's go play in the snow huh boy?" Axis barked happily and followed Thanatos out back into Glacial Peaks

---

Sai yanws as they made their way to the kitchen were Thanatos has cook a lovely stew. His eyes went to his beloved.

"Hn." Marybelle's gaze drifted to the still full pot of food on the stove, her mouth watering and her stomach growling in protest of still being emptied. He tugged Sai's hand and lead him to the table, sitting him down and quickly turning to the stew. She grabbed two bowls and laddled them both full of the beef stew, quickly turning and setting them down on the table. She headed to a drawr and grabbed a couple fork, shutting it and heading to sit next to her love. "Here you go, Sai!" She said, handing him the fork.

Sai smiles taking the fork from her tiny fingers. "Thanks..." He laughed lightly. His red eyes gazed down at the food in front of him. It smelt good but his stomach didn't react to it. He looked up at his love eatting away at her bowl full. He sighs taking a fork full and shoving it into his mouth. He chewed it as the flavor hit his tongue. "It's good..." He muttered as he takes another fork full.

"It really is. I especially think that these two will love thanatos' cooking, he's the only one in the family that actually could cook." She sighed contently as she took a slow bite of her food, her mind drifting back to many memories of her past.

He saw her reaction as he looked up at her. HIs eyes filled with concern. "What's wrong...?" He placed a gentle hand on hers, rubbing it gently with his thumb.

She did not hear the question, only being brought out of her trance from his gentle touch to her hand. One of her black brows quirked at him, her face obviously holding a bit of confusion in it. As he looked at her in anticipation of her response she just kind of stared, not knowing what she should answer. Should she answer, 'Yes. the food is good.' or 'I love you too!' or what? "What?" She finally settled on.

His ears twitched seeing that she wasn't listening. He sighed taking his hand away. "It's nothing..." He sighed. He lean his back against the back of the chair. The bowl still half he pushed it in disgust not wanting anymore if he forced himself to eat more he would aventually barf.

"No, please, what did you ask, Sai?" She asked in a bit os deperation, her fork dropping into her bowl as she leaned over the table to grab his hand before it retarcted from the bowl to set in his lap or arcoss his chest.

His red eyes gazed into her blue ones. He sighed placing his free hand on her cheek caressing it. "I was just wondering what was wrong...You seem so out of it...That's all..." He cocked a brow at how his stomach was acting but didn't show it through his facal expressions.

"Oh? Is that all?" She giggled softly and kissed the palm of his head that was against her cheek, turnign her head once more to press her cheek into his soft-skinned hand. "Just a few memories of the past, that is all." She churred out, gripping his hand softly with hers.

"Hm...I thought it was something serious..." He chuckled lightly. His hand caressed her soft skin. "I was worried for nothing..."

"Oh, so you asume they were good ones?" She asked quizically, a smirk on her face.

"I don't know...hun..." His brow curved to a frown. "I don't know much about your past and yes, you hadn't a clue about mine...So I don't know if they're good or bad..." He leaned agains the table.

"Sai, I did not say that to make you feel sad, I said it as a retorichal question. Please, don't be sad."

"Hm! I'm not sad..." He looked up at her. "My stomach's upset..." He groans.

She sighed and shooke d her head, a smile on her face once more. "I hope Thanatos has some antacid pills in this place." She mumbled out. "And I swear, if he does not get some anestisia for me for when I have my kicks he will face my wrath."

Sai smiles up at her faintly. "Uh...hun...Can you hand me the waist basket...?" He asked.

She quickly got up and grabbed the waist bin, sliding it over to him. "Are you okay, sai?" She aqsked quickly, a worried type face showing.

He vomite into the wasit basket. His ears pressed back on his head as he finishes. He leans back on the chair wipping the exsit vomit form his mouth. His red eyes looking at his love's face, a faint smile coming upon his lips. "I'm fine..." He sighs out.

She sat him his lap and ran her fingers through his hair. "My poor baby." she kissed his forhead sympathetically and nuzzled her face against his cheek.

He smiles weakly nuzzling her back.

She slid down to sit between his legs, her hands cuffing under his legs as she stood up and pulled him up onto her back. "Come on, let's go rest."

"Wha...?! Hun, I can walk..." He tries to move but slumps back on her, his head resting on her shoulder. The fever getting worst.

She nuzzled his cheek softly and leaqd him up the steps and into Sai's and Maryblle's Room.

---

Ai shivered as they entered the manor. Her wet hair and cloths stuck to her body and face. "I'm freezing!" She shivered.

Thaantos picked her up and carried her to the living room and began to start a fire in the fire place

She smiles as she watched him start the fire. Her fingers running through Axis' fur.

Axis rolled over to have her rub his tummy

Ai giggles rubbing his tummy. "You're such a good boy!" She rubbed her nose against his.

Axis barked softly and wagged his tail

She smiles down at him. "Yes you are! Yes you are!" She giggles.

Axis wags his tail more

She turns to Thanatos. "Are you done yet!" She giggles contuing to rub Axis' belly.

"Yeah I was just playing with it..." Thanatos smiles back at her.

Ai giggles trying not to laugh as she covers her mouth with her hands. "That didn't sound right..." She laughs.

Thanatos chuckles. "yeah."

She nods laughing harder, holding her sides. She calmed herself as she laid herself down beside Axis.

"His fur looks lovely against your skin..." Thanatos smiled softly

She blushed lightly as she rubbed Axis' fur. She buried her face in it to hide her blush not wanting him to see it.

"I think I'll have to make you a fur blanket and dye it to match Axis' fur..." Thanatos smiled

Ai looked up from Axis' fur to her lover. She sat up patting the spot next to her. "Come...Sit down..."

Marybelle walked otu of the room and turned back to wait for Sai, a faint smile on her face. "Come on... Let's go get you some food them speak with Ai and Thanatos..." She said in a sigh.

Sai nods shutting the door, following her to the kitchen.

She saw Ai and Thanatos in the living room as they headed for the kitchen, nodding mentally to herself. She got a bowl down for Sai and a fork as well, getting him some warm stew and setting it on the table.

He kissed her temble as a thank you and sat down next to her. He ate the stew with his ears perked up and tail wagging slightly. He murred softly as the food stayed in place as he ate more of the stew. Once the bowel lay empty in front of him, he rubbed his full stomach with a bleach. "That was great..." He purred out.

"You should tell Thanatos that when we go to speak with them.. Perhaps that will break the ice..." She said with a slight sigh, propping her head up with her knuckles.

"Hm? What's wrong, hun?" He asked rubbing her hands with the back of his knuckles.

"This is gonna suck." She murmured, pushing herslef up from the chair she sat in and pushing it under the table. "Come on, Sai, lets go and get this over with."

He looked at her confused, standing up from his chair. He held her close to his form. "Everythings going to be fine...Stop worrying..." He kissed her cheek, wondering out of the kitchen.

"Not the talk, not being able to have sex." She said, her brows pulling together in a slight furrow as she followed along in his arms as they headed intot he living room. "Thanatos, Ai... We want to talk, well, we need to talk and finish our conversation."

Thanatos sat down by Ai.

Ai looked up at the couple at the door way. She nods. "Have a seat..." She smiles.

Sai sat down across Thanatos and Ai, pulling Marybelle into his lap. "Behave..." He whispered in her ear. He rested his chin on her shoulder, wrapping his arms about her lossly. "Oh! By the way Thanatos! That stew you made was fantasic..." He smiles.

"Fine..." She mumbled, relaxing back against his form and laying her head back against him. She reached up and wiped blood from her neck, it still pouring from her neck.

He placed a small towel to her wound pressing on it hard to stop some of the bleeding.

Ai smiles at the couple then looks over at Thanatos. "So how would we start this...?" She asked.

Thanatos smiled. "what?"

"Thanatos, don't start getting thick on us... We need to clear the air between us, all of us... and until that is done Sai and blocked out sex..." She said this last part in a mumble under the breath, pressing her hand against the towel under Sai's hand.

Thanatos...I never did like you at first..." Sai started out not wanting to wait for her brother's answer. "I had problems with trusting you in the pass few days..." His eyes narrowing slightly. "But as time went by I began t accept you for who you are and what you meant to my beloved...So you've gain a friend through this...and want to offically patch up the wounds between us...No bullshit!" He held out a hand to the other male.

Thanatos smiled and shook Sai's hand. "I must admit I did not care for you either when we met but I can put that all behind me. I'm glad you and my sister are together and going to have a baby."

"Uhh...There's a slight change about that..." He chuckles. "We're actually are having twins...!" He placed his hand on Marybelle's slightly swollen stomach.

Ai's eyes widen in shock. "Are you seirous...?"

Sai nods kissing his belove's cheek. "Indeed..."

She turned her face away from Sai's lips and sighed softly. "I wanted to tell them that." She got off of his lap and sat next to him instead, tying the small towel about her neck so she could put her hand down.

He double binks. "I'm sorry..." He looked over at her. "I didn't know...I got over excited..." He sighed.

She leaned back against the couch she sat on next to Sai and crossed one leg over the other, it showing from under her new dress and sighed. "It's already been said."

"I know and I'm sorry..." He sighed, knowing why she's really mad about. If they don't get this whole thing settled now...no sex and he'll have to sleep in a different room to provent anything from happening. "Well...?"

"I ain't going to be as nice about it as Sai was. Don't like it then tough." She muttered out. "Ai, I have learned to live with you for the sake of my brother." Was all she said, kicking her leg slightly as it was crossed over her leg.

"Well, that's just fine with me..." Ai smiles. "I thought that I'll be able to get along with you and be able to talk when there's a problem but that all went out the window when you attacked me...but don't get me wrong...I'll still put a smile on my face and be nice..." She sighed. "I was just hoping you'll get over yourself..."

She quirked her brow at the words and looked at the fox across the room from her. She shrugged lightly and stood herself up. "Well, I guess that;s done for the time being lest I lose myself. Guess we're sleepign seperately to keep from having sex, Sai." She muttered, turning and heading out of the room.

Sai grabed her hand. "Where are you off to...? We're not done yet..." He closed his eye loosly. "Why are you running off now...? Get what ever is on your mind out there...That's why we're here to talk about so we'll be able to talk things through and close the gap..." He let out a sigh. He really didn't want to sleep alone nor take sex away from neither of them but he had to get his point across to her so that the to females in this room woulc get along.

"I don't think of myself as high and mighty, I stopped thinking like that the first time my parents gave me such a look filled with disgrace and regret of having me around or giving birth to me. They wanted me dead, and they almost did such when Thanatos was not around to protect me." She yanked her arm away from Sai and let it fall to her side, a frown on her face and a set of clenched hands, clenched so tight that they began to turn white.

"I didn't mean that!" Sai growled. "I just wanted you two to stop fighting! It's tupid and childish! I can't sit here watch this happened...I see now why Thanatos get fed up half of the time with you two! I'm thorugh...I'm outta here!" He walked out in a huff. He growled slamming the door shut to Glacial Peaks.

Ai sat there in shock at the wolf's words. Her eyes darting to Marybelle.

She looked towards the ground and loosened her grip of her hands, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm sorry for everything I've done, Ai... I just want you and my brother to be happy, so I will no longer hold my petty 'disagreements' towards you. A few tears rolled down her face as she walked slowly to the door of the manor, opening them and walking out into Glacial Peaks.

Ai's eyes burned with tears as she sat there. She felt sorry for Marybelle and what Sai had said. She cried in her hands hoping that the couple won't break up.

Thanatos' eyes filled with tears, he hugged Ai. "Ai, my love, I love you with all my heart but I think my sister needs me, but I don't want to interfere if I'm not wanted...what do I do?" He burried his face in her neck.

She looked up at him with her eyes filled more with tears o fher own. She snffled as she shook her head. "I dunno...Her and Sai are arguing and I haven't the clue if ahe ran after him or not..." She buried her face in his chest. "It's all my fualt, Thanatos!" She cried harder, her ears hung low.

"No... it's not..." Thanatos held her.

"Marybelle was right...If I didn't tell you about her maybe things would be different...But I couldn't hold such things from you..." She whimpered.

"No, I'm glad you told me...we wouldn't have this home if you didn't...or worse I might be dead..." Thanatos held her tight

The thought of him dying made her cry harder. Her face in his chest. "Don't say things like that..."

"I'm sorry..." He held her to his chest. "Shhhh...listen to my heart beat..."

She slowly calmed down listening to his heart beat. Her body melting into his embrace as she wipped her tears away. "I'm soo sorry..." She whispered.

Sai wonders pass the two in the living room making his way up the stairs as he held his beloved close, enteringSai's and Maryblle's room.

Thanatos kissed her head. "I love you."

"I love you too..." She lowered her eyes. "Are you mad at me...?"

"No baby..." Thanatos kissed her neck.

She gasped feeling the sensation go through her body. She pressed herself against him as her lip met his.

Thanatos blushed and kissed her

She blushed slightly kissing back. She reached her hands around his neck deeping the kiss.

Thanatos pulled back. "I'm going to get turned on if we continue..."

"I'm half way there..." She moans slightly rubbing her body aganist his. "I want you..." She kissed his neck once more.

"Let's go to the room..." Thanatos purred.

Ai nods standing up. Her body heating up from their little kiss.

Thanatos picked her up carrying her to Ai's and Thanatos' room

---

Sai wonders through the halls heading to the door, opening and heading out into the glacial peaks.

---

I wish i had some friends who I could hang out with... I'm so alone.. She thought to herself, her head angling as she looked to the ground, a few tears coming from her eyes. Maybe this is why she wanted to be with Sai twenty-four seven... because she had nobody else that she could count on or hang out with... When he was gone she was lonely.. It was like this before she had met Sai, too... It was really depressing. She made her way down the steps and wiped away a couple of her tears, heading to the living room instead of the kitchen this time. she had lost her appetite thinking of how utterly alone and depressing she really was. She sat down on the couch and slumped foreward, burying her face into her arms which were now on her thighs, hiding her face from all the little creatures of the people that may walk in to see her depressed face.

Sai looked about the place panting. His body shaking slightly with a bruse forming around his neck. "Marybelle!" He called, his voice a bit raspy from being choked.

I need to get a life... She thought when she heard his voice, wiping her tears on the cloth of her dress as her face was still hidden by her arms.

He heard her thoughts. His feelings hurt as he lean his form on the wall. His fingers running along the bruse on his neck. He had to do it. The price of his love one was on the line. You don't want me around do you... He stood up from the wall. His throat in pain from the abuse.

No.. I do want you around.. All the time and I know that you still have a life of your own.. So I know you won't be around all the time.. I'm so alone and lonely, oh so lonely when you must leave and everyone is off doing their own things. I am left to the nothingness and boringness of this house.. I need to get a life..

He groans. Where are you, sweetheart...?

I'm in the living room. She pushed herself up from her slumping position and wiped vigorously at her face, not wanting him to catch the tiniest bit of salt, but she knew he would.

He pushed himself from the wall, heading into the living room. His eyes widen slightly as he smelt the salt in the air. Hun... He wonders to her side, pulling her in his arms.

I need to get some friends... She thought, not really responding to the embrace at firstbut soon cuddling into his chest. She looked up at him and noticed the bruise on his neck, her eyes immediately flashing a deathy icy glare. Who hurt you? He shrugged off his embrace and turned so that she cold look at his neck, running her fingers along it softly.

He flinched back from her touch on it. I can't allow you to get invole... He looked down at her in full concern. His throat hurting with each intake of breath. You're in danger as it is...

Sai! She thought firmly, her eyes narrowing as she caressed his neck softly with the backs of her fingers. Please, don't push me away.

He let out a shaky sigh from his lips. It was... His eyes widen at the flash from his dream. He growls slightly. It would only lead to more heartache... His red eyes looking at her filled ith hurt and worry. I'm worried about your's and the twins' safty...

Sai, either you tell me or I will figure it out for myself. She said, pushing herself up from his lap and heading around the couch, heading for the door that lead out of the house.

He followed her. Marybelle...! He grabbed her arm. I want to but if I say a word...I don't know what the man would do...! His ears laid back against his head. The man who did this will tear you to shreds...

I don't blame you for having little faith in your mate. She said harshly, keeping her eyes fixed on the door as her arm was grabbed."

Marybelle...The man who did this was my-my father... He looked at her worried. He's powerful beyond reason...He wouldn't take in concteration that you are a female...I don't want you to confront him!

I see... I want to meet my step father. I don't want to confront him, I just want to meet him.. Would that be too much to ask of me? She asked, turning to look at her beloved's worried expression, kissing his lips softly.

He kissed her back, pulling his lips back. If you must... He open the door for her. Come...

She followed him with a curt nod of the head, her form threatening to shift from a few snaps of bones, but did not as she willed herself not to.

---

Sai entered the manor with a heavy heart. His mind still on what his beloved has plan and what his step father is going to do to her. A low growl escaped his throat as he sat in the living room his head in his hands as he tries to calm himself but the images of that man touching his beloved caused him to go over the edge. Shit...! He placed a gentle hand on his throat where the bruse has wosen. He's not going to be able to talk or eat for a good amount of time. Thanatos...I need to talk to you...badly... Something furry rubbed his hand. He looked up to see Axis. He gave the dog a small smile hating that the two males that he had to talk to where in bed with the two women that he had to kill. He stands from the couch and headed towards the door. I can't just sit here and wait...I have to talk to that man...even though he would beat me before we speak...but I rather that to happen than to wait here for him to do something to my beloved. He opens the door to glacial peaks. He sighed rubbing gently at the bruise on his neck.

---

Fugiri hopped down the stairs happily whistling softly to himself. He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to raid it.

Kira ran her fingers through her brown locks getting any nots out as she skipped down the stairs. She smiles warmly as she saw Fugiri raiding the frig. She wrapped her arms around his waist hugging him from behind.

Fugiri smiled and turned to face Kira, he gave her a short kiss on the lips and nizzled her. "Hungry?"

She returns it with a smile. "Very...?" Her stoamch growled low. Her cheeks held a blush.

---

Haku landed out side of the manor and opened the door, releasing his hold on Sai and heading inside. With a small sigh, he shut the door behind Sai and gestured for them to head into the kitchen to get him a beer. "Come on, you need something to drink."

Sai nods in agreement. He follow the man towards the kitchen seeing Fugiri and Kira as emarged from their room. "Their alive!" He joked grabing two beers from the frig handing one to Haku.

Kira giggles. Her big green eyes going to the handsome demon in front of her. "Who's he...?" She asked.

"This is Haku...Haku...Kira...Kira...Haku...And this dragon is Fugiri..." He introduce them, taking a seat at the table.

"Aye." He said, raising his beer slightly and bowing his head in a greeting ot the smaller female and dragon. "So, tell me about your father." He said, opening his beer and siting down at the table and taking a drink of the alcohol.

Sai groans a bit and took a long drink from his beer. "He's nothing but a man who follows his own rules and expect people to bow to him on spot. He was a leader of the Nightwalker tribe....but the war that broke out between the Ookami village and the Snowlight village caused so many lost lives. My whole village was destroyed. I left thinking that everyone was killed...but he survied...And has Marybelle in his hands...." He took another drink of his beer. "And the actions she's showing me she choosed to be with him...but I haven't the clue why..."

"Look, I know you may find it hard to believe, but Bell is a very loyal woman.... She either has a plan, or she is trying to hurt you... She adores you... Sai.. Just know that."

"I know that much..." He placed the empty bottle down on the table. "I just hate to think of a man as Ookami all over like a hound dog is all...Even though she can defend herself...I have a feeling that she would shell up and give in since she was abused when she was a child."

"Yes, emotionally abused, not physically.. As you have seen, and as I have seen once or twice, she actually like physical pain... It gets her hot and horny..." He blushed when he said this, quickly realizing that the kids were still in the room with them. "You never heard that, got it?" He asked quickly.

Sai looked over at the young couple near the frig. "Ah...Don't worry about them...They're old enough to know what we're talking about...And yes...I know exactly what you're talking about that's what I'm worried about...." He blushed slightly knowing that he was apart of why she likes it like that. It faded away as he sat up from the chair. "I just don't want her to get hurt, Haku..."

"Still, if Thanatos is any way like Bell when secrets of the other are exposed then he will be livid to learn that I actually almost... Anyways, look... You just have to trust her even if you worry about her."

"You almost what...?" Sai narrowed his eyes at the male across from him. He kinda wondered why the two were so close. He really didn't get all the details about the story behind this guy. He was being a good mate and friend as he allowed this man touch his beloved.

"Nothing happened!" He exclaimed, patting his hands against the air to try and calm him, noticing the expression on his face. "I promise."

"Right..." He sighed out. He felt something wasn't right, Haku answered way too quick to believe him at the moment. His ears relaxed as he closed his eyes loosly. He didn't know what to do at the moment, he wanted to take Marybelle from Ookami and want to get ride of him for good. He didn't live by those rules anymore. "Tell me Haku...What am I to do now...? I really don't like to sleep alone and even if I were to sleep I won't be able to sleep without concren for her saftly."

"Well, I can stay with you so you can talk for the night.. You would not mind that, would you?" He asked softly, reaching over and patting his hand as he took another drink of his beer.

"That's fine I rather talk to someone than to kept it pint up that I react like I did again..." He sighed. He pulled his hand from the other male's. "Just to get this out of the way...I don't turn that way..." He throws the empty bottle into the trash can. "I love women far too much to give myself away to another man..." He chuckled.

He laughed softly and leaned back against the chair, taking another drink of the beer. "From our hands, our meaning my family, we release a type of calming scent into the skin on contact which in turn makes its way into the blood stream and to the mind... I've gotten that many times before, so it really doesn't bother me too much to hear it."

"Funny..." He chuckled lightly. "You had me going for a minute..." He rested his head in his hands. "Ah...Man...Kira...or Fugiri...can you toss me another beer...?"

Kira quickly grabs another one tossing it over to Sai.

He caught it in his hands opening it taking a long guzzle before setting it down. He wipped the side of his mouth as he went into a deep thought.

"But it does bug me... So try to refrain from saying such while I am around, alright. I don;t mind it once or twice when I am around, but not too often." He tossed his bottle into the trash can as if it were a basketball, it making a loud clattering of glass as it went in and smashed together with Sai's. "Can you toss me another, sweetheart?" He asked, looking over at Kira.

"Don't worry...After what you just said I'm cool..." He took another drink from his beer. His fingers running through his bangs.

Kira nods tossing another beer to Haku. She then nuzzled against Fugiri.

He laughed softly and opened his beer up, guzzling it a bit. "So, lay it on me.. What all do you need to talk about?"

He looked up at Kira and Fugiri. "Not here..." He lowered his head a bit. His ears laid low. "It'll be talked only in my room..."

He stood up and walked over to the fridge. He pulled about about four beers and shut it. "Come on then. Got some beers to calm you down a bit."

Sai finished off the one in his hand and threw it into the trash hearing a smash of glass. He nods standing up from the chair. "Let's go..."

"I'm not sure getting drunk is the best idea if Marybelle is in trouble is it?" Fugiri finally spoke up, as he was cooking porkchops.

"Heh.. This is grown up business, junior.. Besides, Marybelle made it clear she needs no help from us by the cold shoulder I recieved..." Haku said, bowing his head slightly to him and heading along behind Sai, handing him another beer.

Sai didn't respone to the dragon as he took the beer from the demon as he open it taking another long guzzle, heading into up the stairs.

He opened the door for Sai into Sai's and Maryblle's Room.

---

Marybelle whistled happily as she made her way to the laundry room, leaning her head back a bit to sway her hair and keep the 'toxic' fumes from her nose. When she got there she stuffed the all white bedspread, slightly tinted when she had got her juices and they sweat, she poured some laundry soap into it and turned on the hot water, wanting to get every last drop of dried liquid out of the white eighty percent cotton sheet. She turned the nozzle so that it was on heavy wash and went to the drier to pull out a towel. She folding it a bit so that it looked like a bandana and tied it around her form, humming a bit. She made her way back out of the laundry room and headed right back to her's and Sai's room, smiling as she passed Ai's and Thanatos' room. With a small smile she stopped in her tracks and turned to face the door, reaching her fist foreward and raking her knuckles arcoss the grina of the ice of the door. "Ai! Can I speak with you please, hun?"

Ai wonders out shutting the door behind herself as she pulls her half ruined skirt down from the rough sex her and Thanatos had. "What's up...?" She tilted her head.

She reached forward and wrapped her arms around the back of the older female's neck, embracing her in a gentle and loving hug. "Thank you for not hating me, Ai. I love you and my brother so much." She said gently into her furry ear.

She blush slightly as her ears twitched. "Um...Thank you Marybelle and I love you too..." She hugged her back. "Thank you for not hating me also!" She giggled.

"Odette and Ezrya are going to have such lovely aunts and uncles. Those are their names, by the way." She turned her head a bit and kissed the fox's cheek, pulling back from her when she was done. "What do you think of them? Do you like the names? Sai wanted a daughter named Odette and I think Ezrya is such a lovely name."

"AW!" She bounced about. "I love the names! Their so cute! I can't wait until they're born!"

"Niether can me or Sai. Sai says he cannot wait till he can hold their little bodies in his arms, and he also says he cannot wait to see them grow up together.. All of these upcomming changes and the fact that I am pregnant... It brings out the more parental side of him... It warms my heart to see him like this.. You teo are going to be good godparents." She bowed her head a bit at Ai and let her own tail wag a bit.

She smiles noding her head. "And you two would become such great parents! I'm happy fopr the both of you nd that Sai has finally found something that would bring him happiness to this world!" Tears slowly made their way down her face. "I'm so happy..." She wipped her tears away. "I thought you two were going to break up because of our little disagreement with one another but now I'm happy to see that you two are still together..."

She reached foreward and wiped away some dampness from her cheek, runnign her fingers through the white tresses of hair. "Thank you, Ai, and no... We would never be torn apart.. It was just a were scuffle.. Speaking of, look at this.." She took a small step back from her so that she had room and began to shift into her lycanthrope form, a small smile coming to her muzzle as she stared down at her. She hoped she would not panic.

Ai's ice blue eyes widen in fear but after seeing her small smile she relaxed standing there. "You can final control yourself in that form...Good for you!" She clapped her hands softly as she giggled.

She shook her head in a slight sign of 'No, I cannot.' But she wrapped her arms around her in a gentle hug. She pulled bak after a few seconds and let her ears lay flat against her head. She let out a series of chirps and growls, the canine tongue letting itself be known to the smaller canine speicies. "No, I cannot.. But Sai is helping me.. You know, when I was at his old clan home I got to see his father's penis get cut off.. Hehe.. Penis.. Uh, anyways. Him having his manhood taken from him as alpha meant he had no more power over Sai and so Sai does not have to kill you or Kira anymore! Isn't that great, Ai?!" She barked out excitedly, her tail wagging towards the ground.

Ai laughed uncoralable about the word 'penis' but went serious when heard about that Sai doesn't have to kill her or her sister. "That's great... Neither he nor Thanatos needs to go through pain..." She sighs in relife. "I'm happy that things pulled together for both ends."

She puffe dout her chest and pounded her fist against it with a proud murr. "You're welcome! And all it took was finding out he was a quere by not fucking me. Well, that is all I really had to tell to you, Ai.. Please, go have fun wiht Thanatos, now.. I should go and help Sai relax in his bath." She giggled and leaned forward, licking her face softly before falling down on all fours and trotting off to go back to her room. She reached up and opened the door, wlaking into Sai's and Maryblle's Room.

Ai giggled wipping her cheek lightly as she reentered her bedroom (Ai's and Thanatos' room).

---

Sai wondered the halls as he went stright to the landry room. He seen that someone else has placed their beding on the dryer clean and folded neatly. He shruggs with a soft smile and headed back to Sai's and Maryblle's room.

---

"Because he is my best friend and I wish him to be there when I give birth. Just like you will be there."

"Alright..." He sighed. "Sweetheart...somethings been bothing me...Haku kinda slipped up yestruday when we were talking and it seems he almost did something to you but covered it up... What did he nearly do to you...?" He looked at her in a seriousness. "Don't lie to me...I'm tired of being lied to..."

Her smile faded as she heard his tone, a small sigh coming from her lips as he pace began to slow as they headed down that stairs. "I never lied to you, Sai." She said in a sort of snapish tone, not meaning for it to come out like it did,

He sighed. "I know you haven't but lately I've been by others...I can't simply believe Haku yet..." He slowed to a stop. "He confessed his love about you to me and I can't seem to get my mind clear from the fact that he nearly done something to you...Please Marybelle..."

"He almost seduced me.. there, that's all. NHothing happened, he just seduced me but was stopped by the fact that I was so young."

He shrugged his shoulders filling that she angry yet again. "Really...? I guess we'll leave it at that..." He ran a finger through his hair walking towards the kitchen. "What would you like to eat...?"

"I've lsot my appetite." She muttered out, turning in the opposite direction of the kitchen and heading for the living room.

"I saw this coming..." He followed her. over to the living room. "Marybelle... What's wrong now...? I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you upset..."

"You make it seem like I was aliar to you when I never even lied to you since I met you. I told you I was a virgin to men, yet you make it seem like Haku took my virginity."

He smacked the side of his head cursing himself for his ways. He sat himself near the door way. "Let myself get that way again... Old ahbbits die hard... I'm so sorry, Maryelle..."

She sighed and laid back against the cushioning of the couch, placing her hand on her whining stomach. It was whiniing and she knew she was depriving the children of needed proteins and whatnot, but she felt she would just throw up that food she ate if she ate anything,

He stod up after a few mintues of sitting near the door way and headed towards his beloved. He sat on the floor near the couch she laid on. "You're going to make yourself sick if you don't eat, sweetheart..." He looked up at her.

"I just... I don't have an appetite.. I'm sorry." She said, reaching over and petting his head softly.

He looked up at her with worried eyes. He didn't understand why she was hungry at first then not second. He placed his head back against the couch. "It's my fault that you're not hungry isn't....? If I dind't ask you that question maybe you'll be eating and I don't have to worry... I'm sorry..." His ears lowered.

She sighed at this, her feelings hurt because of the fact that he was blaming himself now. She smiled smally and pushed herself up, kissing one of his black ears softly and got up from the couch. "Come on, Sai. Let's get somthing to eat."

"I don't wnat to froce you..." He looked up at her. "You might get sick from be froce to eat and I don't want that..."

"No, I should eat. The babies won't take well to being starved. Come on." She said, holding her hand down to him to help him up.

He nods takin gher but pulled her down wiht him. "I'm sorry if I made you upset..." He kissed her forehead as he stood up with her in his arms. He carried her into the kitchen. "What would you like to eat...?" He placed her back on her feet.

"I have a craving for pancakes, hot sauce, taco salad and goose sanwhiches..." She said, blinking her eyes a bit. "Never had it all together like that, btu sounds really appetizing."

He chuckled as he rethought what she said. "So you want pancakes, hot sauce, taco salad...and gooose sandwitches... All in one...?" Okay..." He shrugged his brod shoudlers and got the ingredants out. He pulls a flat pan out and placed it on the stove. "Do you want to make the taco salad, my dear...?" He asked softly as he mixed the pancake mix.

"Could you get me out another pan?" She asked, reaching into the fridge and grabbing out a pound of hamburger. He grabbed the rest of the seasonings and ingredients, onions and whatnot.

He reached up and grabed another pan for her to cook the hamburger in. He placd it on the stove as he heated the other enough to cook the pancakes she wanted.

She unwrapped the burger and placed it into the pan, grabbing up a wooden spoon and breaking up the meat. "Are you going to want a sandwhich too?"

"No sweetheart....I'm good..." He poured some of the pancake batter into the hot pan. It making a sizzling nosie as it hit the pan.

"You're not even gonna try it with me? Alright, geez.. Meanie.." She said, bumping her hip against his thigh.

He chuclked pinching her butt. "If it'll make you happy I'll have a bit of yours..." He flipped the pancake int the pan.

She flinched and giggled from the pinch to her butt. "Tell me if it's good when you do, alright?" She asked, humming quietly as she continued to break up the meat. She went away from the meat and began to cut up an onion.

"I must be your gennie pig..." He smiles taking the finished pancake off the pan, placing it on a plate. "How many do you want...?" He asked putting more batter on the pan.

"Make three more, love." She said, putting the bits of diced onion into the meat. She opened up the pack of taco seasoning and dumped it into the pan of meat. She held her hand up and put some water into the pan.

He nods as he flipped the second pancake in the pan. He lean over kissing her cheek.

She blushed a bit and smiled at him, reaching up and pushing a piece of her bang out of her eyes. "Sai... You have such lovely eyes."

"I do...?" He took the second finished pancake on the plate. He pours more batter for the last and final pancake into the pan. "Why do you say that...?"

"Because they are just so gorgeous. Crimson looks really good on you."

He chuckles lightly as he flipped the pancake in the pan. "Well I get lost in your eyes even by just a glance...They're just like the snowy peaks out in these plans. I feel very calming when I look into them..."

"I have to tell you. My dad had such eyes as your's, they always mezmorized me when I looked into them as a child.. It's probably why I adore them so much and find comfort in them."

"So I remind you of your father...?" He looked at her confused. He place the finished pancake on the plate. He took the pan to the sink where he cleaned it off and put it back to its place on the conter to dry. He wondered back to her side wrapping his arms about her hips from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder. "That's good that I can comfort you in one way thatn sex..." He chuckled lightly as he kissed her cheek once more.

"You remind me of the good in my father. He comforted me everytime my mother bashed me abiout my preference.. Although he did not like it much either, he still offered solace. He always hekd be in his arms and let me curl up in his lap. He let me cry on his shoulder and wheneer I looked into his eyes I just seemed so at peace."

"I see now, why you love me so much..." He nuzzled against her form. He placed a hand on her swollen stomach, rubbing it gently. "I just wonder what the children would posses from us..."

"I don't know.. i guess we will just have to wait to see."

He nods removing himself from her form and went to the frige to pull out the goose meat. "Hey sweetheart...you want this heated or cook...? Or do you want it cold...?"

"Heated, if you don;t mind."

He nods heading back to her and place it near the stove the to heat up the meat slightly.

"You're so good to me, Sai, you know that?" She said, kissding his cheek softly.

He smiles softly as he held it near the heat once it was hot enough he place it near the pancakes. "I thought I was being an ass but I guess if you say so..." He said jokingly. "Yeah I know sweetheart...I wouldn't want to loose you..."

"Shred some lettuce for me?" She asked, looking back at him sweetly. "And grab a tomoatoe so I can cut it up?"

He grab the lettuce in one hand and handed the tomato to her in the other. "Here, sweetheart..." He smiles, picking up a small knife to shred up the head of lettuce.

She grabbed a knife as well and began to dice up the tomato. She hummed quietly to herself and let her tail reach over and wrap around Sai's black tail.

He began to shred up the lettuce. He smiles warmly to himself as his tail was wrapped with his beloved's. He reached for a bowel in the cabnet and place it on the conter. He place the shreded lettuce in it. He then goes to grab the hot sauce from the cabnet as well, placing it beside the bowel.

Once the meat was finished and the tomatoes were in a bowl, Marybelle began to scoop some meat into a bowl and looked over her shoulder at Sai, smiling a bit. She grabbed some lettuce and some tomato, putting them in the bowl and mixing them with the meat. She also poured hotsauce into the salad, her arm coming up to wipe at a bit of drool on her lip. "Could you put some of the goose meat onto the pancakes for me?"

He smiles as he open the wrap from around the meat as some steam came from it. He took a wooden spoon and cut a small hunk from it and spread it across the pnacake. He handed it to her. "Here you go sweetheart..." He kissed her cheek.

She smiled and took the pancake, spreading some of the taco salad on it as if it were mayonaise. She grabbed another pancake and spread hotsause on it before sanwhiching it all together. She handed the digusting smelling sandwhich to Sai and smiled. "Tell me if you like it.. Be trufthful."

His nose truned up towards the smell but he took the sandwitch from her hands and took a bit from it. His face was disgusted but as he chewed it began to soften. He smiles down at her. "It tastes...good!"

"Really?!" She asked happily and hyperly, biting the sandwhich that was in his hands. "Mm! It's dilish!"

He smiles handing it back to her, licking the hot sauce from his fingers. He then licks hot sauce from the corner of her mouth before pulling away from her. He went to get the last pancake and spread the goose meat on it following with the taco salad and hot sauce. He rolled it up like a broitto and took a huge bit out of it.

"Hah! You like something only a pregnant woman would think to crave for and like." She cooed out, capping her hands happily at her accomplishment. "I wonder if our kids will like this when they are able to eat hard foods."

"Maybe..." He finishes it off, licking his fingers. "I can't help it that your cravings are the same as mine it when it comes to me being hungry...I mix my food it goes to the same place." He kissed her lips softly. "Pluse I think I'll like the spicy foods..." He pulls back going to the frig. pulling out a beer, opening it taking a drink from it.

"What I wouldn't give for a Bloody Mary right now.." She sighed out, taking another bite of her sandwhich and sittind down at the table.

"I know sweetheart...but you can't drink since you're pregnant..." He sighed out seeing that she needed something like that to ease a bit of stress. He wondered over to the table and took a seat beside her.

"Yeah yeah, I know love. No drinking.. no alcohol."

He finished it and tossed it into the trash can. "And I won't drink in front of you..." He placed a gentle hand on her thigh.

"Don't do that to yourself, I don't care if you do, honest. I can take out my stress in other ways, you can drown yours in beer." She said,s miling softly and placing her hand on his.

He cocked an eyebrow. "I only drink when I'm really down like the time when you left. And what ways are you talking about, M'lady...?"

"I have my secrets, m'love." Marybelle smiled softly and laid her head against his shoulder, purring quietly.

He looked about the room. "You have a man hidding in our closet don't you...?" He chuckled lighly as he teased her.

"Shh... Don't tell my mate. He is very protective, you know." She teased right back, jabbing her finger into his side playfully.

He laughed lightly. He rose her hand up to his mouth and placed a kiss upon her knuckles then on her lips. "I love you dearly..."

"I love you too, Sai." She said back gently, wrapping her arms up and around the back of his neck, nuzzling her face into his neck and shoulder. She kissed his skin gently and purred out happily, wagging her tail.

He wrapped his arms about her form and held her close. "Are you about finished love....?" He asked. "We still need to head into town for the pets that you want and pay that gentle widow back..."

She pulled her head back and looked into his eyes, holding the last bite of the sandwhich to his lips. "Here, you can have it if you wish. I'm kind of full and still think that I should not have eaten." She smiled and placed her head back against his shoulder.

He ate the last bit, swallowing it. "You still upset...?" He looked down at her worriedly. "I'm sorry if you are.." He nuzzled against her.

"No, Sai! honestly. I am fine, not mad and m perfectly content for the time being. Promise." She cooed out, kissing his cheek gently.

"Are you sure...? You seemed pretty down..."

"I'm fine. Trust me, alright?" She asked, pulling her head back from his neck once more and kissing his lips.

"Alright sweetheart..." He kissed her back.

"Well." She said, patting her hands on his chest and pushing herself back into her own chair, then pushing herself up from the chair itself. "Perhaps I should get dressed so we can get going, hm?"

Nearly forgetting that she did't put no clothing on but left on a towel. He nods standing from his chair. "Let's go..." He streatched.

She slid her hand into his and nuzled close against him, sighing contently and wagging her tail as they made their way out of the kitchen.

He smiled as they headed up the stairs to their bed room. (Sai's and Maryblle's room)

Sai took hold of Marybelle's hand as they wondered the halls. He open the huge doors to the Glacial peaks.
