Zathris

Benani

Benani giggled as she flung herself on the bed. "Did you see them,"
she smiled. "Benaris so intent on keeping his balance while Zathan
almost ran from one side of the room to the other." At almost a Turn,
both boys had begun walking in the last week but it might be better
said that Zathan had started running.

She shook her had as she grinned at her husband. "You're going to have
your hands full with that one."

"Me?" Zathris joined his wife and lay on his side, hand propping up
his head as he gazed over at her. "Woman, I thought you were in
charge of the children."

"Aye, for now," she smirked "but you'll have their training in a few
Turns and you know it." She rolled against him. "Benaris will be
obedient I'm certain. But Zathan? He has a will like my fathers."

"And he'll have a pink behind to show for it." Zathris wouldn't be
cruel to his children, but neither would they go unpunished for
disobedience. "Besides, we have to wait and see. Children change as
they age. As do adults."

"True," she grinned pulling some strands of his hair from his eyes.
"But they have a wonderful father to teach them the right of things. I
have every confidence in you."

"Have I changed much since you married me," she asked coyly.

"More than you probably realise." Zathris reached over to tap her on
the tip of her nose.

"Well," she smiled happily. "You're my rock and my refuge," she sighed
contentedly. "Don't ever change that." She mused for a moment before
rising to begin dressing for bed. "So, tomorrow is Karhal's big day.
I've never seen him actually look happy before."

"I've never been called a rock before. But since you coupled it with
refuge, I'll consider it a compliment." Zathris grin and let a finger
trace along the lines of Benani's arm. "It's a good thing, I think.
He needs someone like Loella in his life - just like I needed someone
like you."

She smiled her love into his eyes. They had gone through some things
together. Mutual support had always been their way and she knew she
was a very lucky woman in the husband she'd found. "I do love you so
very much," she said with a bit of a dampness to her eyes. "We should
make another baby Zathris," she whispered.

"Or at least have fun trying. I'm all for that." Zathris reached for
her, his hands tugging at her hips so he could pull her body close to
his own. "Why don't we start right now?"

"I think that is a very good idea," she breathed and moved against him
in the way that said she wanted him more than just a little.
