			            Ginny grinned up at the audio, snickering at Mami shoving Pika away for him. "Very Proud. Very happy too." A mischievous glimmer that showed she was the twins' sister after all sparkled in her brown eyes. Catching it Relm shook her head warningly, even as she held tightly to Keme's waist, legs curled beside her as she half leaned into his lap beneath his arm. The hand that had rested on his pelvis lightly caressing his chest now through muscle shirt he wore. Quirking a brow, knowing how much the audio artist wanted her chosen partner the witch let the matter slide & turned instead to the 'bachelors'. "What was that I overheard about 'too young for kits'?" She let her voice ring both of threat and jesting, winking for Mami & the other parents present.
  "I wish I knew what to say to you Lucia. The last thing I wanted, the last thing I want is to hurt you. Maybe... maybe if I knew better how I hurt you... how I made you afraid... maybe then I'd know what to say to never do so again." Vanafindon could not help a small happy murr even through his concern and worry. She was here with him again. And he did not intend to let her go until they had some sort of understanding. He did not think he could bear the thought of losing her again.
  What a day.

			            All four males froze up in fear, even Adjo, and started stuttering.  A loud squawking could be heard over head and Gypsy had finally arrived.  Hanzi immediately attached himself to his mother, begging her to not let Ginny lose her temper on him, which all the older adults got a good laugh.
  Keme's head moved back and forth, about ready to fall right back asleep where he was.  He did purr as Relm rubbed his chest, but that didn't help his wanting to fall back asleep.  It wasn't easy watching over a pregnant female.
  Lucia sniffled a bit, nuzzling Vana's fur, so very happy that he was back with her, and scared he would pull away once he found out just how much of a coward she was, "I'm sorry Vana....I guess I just got.....scared.  You don't want your brother to know and you said you wanted to treat it like a game..." she said softly, her tails wrapping around his so she could have as much contact with him as possible.

			            "Just wait until one of you fall in love and want kits." Ginny warned, laughing. "See what becomes of your little poker-group then!" Maidhfindon huffed, not as afraid of Ginny as perhaps he should be. "huh! Vana & I won't be falling for that! Too many pretty girls!" He grinned, then looked confused as the witch bust out laughing and Relm buried her face in Keme's shirt as she shook with laughter. She would lead the tired male to bed soon as she could control her giggles.
 
  Pieces of the puzzle slowly fell into place. Rumbling softly he nipped and licked at Lucia's beautiful pale fur. "Oh Lucia..." Vana chuckled very softly, pulling her tight. "Not treat loving you as a game. Not treat our love as a game. Only to make a game of not letting Maidh know." Not wanting her to flee again Vana held her close, wrapping himself as much as he could around her while he explained. "And not because I'm ashamed, beautiful one. I'm so happy with you... I'd shout it from the top of the highest mountain. Let everyone know! Everyone but Maidhfinden. At least, not yet. He'll bristle, Lucia, and not necessarily at us. He'll bristle and likely ruin any chance he has to fall in love himself. Lucia... I'm so happy. Can you understand how I'd want the same for my twin?"

			            Morgana giggled to herself and lifted a paw to cover her muzzle, "I wouldn't be too sure about that..." she said, the poker buddies looking confused over the bloody Angelics words.  She then padded over to Keme and nudged at his side, "Come Relm, let's put him to bed, he had a long night and morning and I know he didn't get that much sleep." she said.
  Lucia listened to what he said and finally understood.  His brother probably wouldn't be very happy that Vana found love and he didn't and would probably see her as someone who stole his 'brother-in-flirting' away from him.  "I.....I think I understand....Oh Vana, isn't there anything we can do to help him?" she asked, finally looking up into his eyes.

			            Maidh looked as confused as the others but shrugged. "huh? Whatever." Still giggling but able to get her legs to work Relm nodded to Morgana and worked to help get her beloved to his feet though he was nearly a foot taller than she was. "Fill me in later, kay Red?" "Sure thing Relm." Brown eyes darted to the barn with a grin. "Hey, are Nunzio & Morty around?" Surprising she had missed the huge angelic until now. But then there were a lot of kitsu about. 
  Blue eyes smiled lovingly down into hers of soft & lovely green. "I don't know, love. Get him around as many females as possible and watch to see if he seems to favor one over the others, or gets upset if I tease him about one? As happened to me." Vana gave a very soft laugh and pressed his mouth to hers with infinite tenderness. "What's important right now is that you know how very much I love you, and want to be with only you no matter how I am around Maidh. I only want to flirt with you Lucia..."

Morgana suggested, knowing what it was like to be a mother with eggs and partly to give Vana and Lucia a little more time with each other before they had to come out and face the others, especially his twin brother.
  Keme got up, with Morgana and Relm's help, and trudged his way back to the house, his sights set on his comfortable bed and at least a few more hours of sleep before he let himself become really active.
  She giggled at that, nuzzling him affectionately, even though she felt her heart skip a beat when he said he loved her, "I love you as well Vana..." she said softly, kissing him lovingly.

			            Ginny grinned with gratitude. Having the eggs so exposed was starting to get to her. "Sounds like a plan. Maidhfinden, come over here and make yourself useful." The youngest Weasley was more than used to dealing with troublesome twins, and now as a mother her voice carried an added authority that quickly had the blue winged angelic leaving the other bachelors and hurrying over to sling one of the bags over his head. Almost accidentally he glanced over to where his twin had been lying. "Hey. Where'd Vana go?" He didn't bother to mask his confusion that not only had his brother vanished on him once today, but now twice. 
  How odd. 
  Luckily, Relm's interest in her chosen mate far exceeded her curiosity about anything going on outside. She let Morgana and Keme lead the way to his room -if he was even awake enough for that. Once there she made sure Keme was safely in bed, whispering a soft thanks to Morgana for getting him there. Slipping off boots, cape, & beret the artist climbed into bed beside him and kissed his cheek. "Sleep, beloved. I'll rub out any tension you've accumulated." 
  She loved him? Vanafindon sighed into the kiss, fervently kissing her back, simply taking delight in all the wonder that was the pale furred beauty beside him. As well? Wait... he had said he loved her, didn't he? And he meant it, though he had wanted to wait a while to tell her. To have taken her somewhere as lovely as she was, somewhere romantic. Not on a pile of hay in a dark barn. 
  But then, really, as long as they were together it was perfect. He drew back from the kiss, smiling, then placed two soft kisses on Lucia's mouth before kissing and licking the trails of her tears away.

			            "Never you mind where he went, Ginny told you to get those eggs inside and that means now!" Charna growled at the male, nudging the bachelors to the house, knowing Morgana wanted to give Lucia and the other male more time to themselves.
  Keme was asleep before his head hit the pillow, but he mumbled out a 'love you Relm' and then he was out for the next few hours.
  Lucia purred happily when he kissed her a few times and then cleaned her face from the tears she cried.  She didn't like the fact that they would have to basically 'hide' their love from his brother, but just knowing that Vana loved her, it would make it worth it.  But she did hope Maidh found someone soon, she wasn't sure how long she would have to flirt with Vana, just so Maidh wouldn't suspect anything had changed.

			            Maidh yipped as he was growled at and dropped the questioning of where his brother was to dash -careful of the eggs- into the house. What the hell was wrong with everyone today? Ginny snickered, then followed a little more sedately though she hurried to be with all of her eggs. 
  "Love you too, Keme." Relm whispered, lightly stroking his cheek before starting to gently give her sleeping beau a massage. When she was finished, she would curl beside him until whenever he woke. And likely have to store any dreams that came into her head for another day.
 
  A happy rumble stirred Vana's white body. "Do you know how hard it will be to let you go, Lucia? I could hold you like this forever..." Suddenly he swallowed a yawn and looked sheepish. "heh. Guess I'm tired." No wonder, with all that had happened today. "um... didja, um, wanna go see Ginny's eggs? 'cause... I'd love to *blush* nap here with you. If you'd like."

			            Lucia smiled serenely and shivered lightly at the though of him sleeping there with her, both of them pressed against each other.  She had to shove thoughts of that away, she certainly wasn't ready!  "I'd rather stay here with you, I can visit Trelweny's home anytime if Ginny leaves before we wake up." she said, snuggling against him and tucking her head under his chin.

			            He shivered at the feel of her shivering beside him, somehow knowing it was not because she was cold. Vana wanted to make her shiver again, but he was so tired and at peace he did not think he could. Cradling her head where it was tucked beneath his chin Vana breathed out softly across her fur, smiling as his eyes started to droop. "Stay... Visit anytime." He agreed softly, feeling warm all over as he snuggled her to him. Sighing pleasurably into the lovely scent of Lucia's fur he was quickly losing the battle to stay awake. "How'd I... get so... lucky? Love you... Lucia..."
