Chapter Twenty-Nine
"He's truly special isn't he?" Crystal asked as she finished braiding Falcon's hair.
"Hmm?" Falcon replied as he enjoyed his wife's gentle touch.
"I've known for a long time your soul needed to shed tears to heal but you wouldn't lower that wall even for me." Falcon heard sadness in her words. "You felt like you had to hide your true feelings from even me. Yet in Rain's arms …"
"He didn't give me any choice," Falcon said turning and wrapping his hands around hers. "Rain reached within me and drew out all the pain I have hidden over the past decade and made me face it. I should be angry with him but … I am more at peace then I've been in a long time."
"And for that I am truly grateful that he's in our lives." Crystal said with a small smile. She reached over and brushed a stray hair from his face. "We should join the others, Gola made a wonderful smelling apple crisp for dessert, think I saw her put brandy in it."
"Somehow, I'm not surprised by that," Falcon replied as he stood and pulled Crystal lightly to her feet. Wrapping an arm around her waist he bent down and kissed her. "I love you Faya Crystalpath."
"And I you … Akire Crystalpath."
They walked out of the hut to find most of the Clan at the table, enjoying a hearty dinner of raptor and noodles. Falcon eyed Sly's empty spot at the table and frowned. Even at his current level of aversion for the rogue he hated having those under his watch out of sight. He raised an eyebrow at Rain's empty seat.
"He went to wash up before dinner," Sid said following Falcon's gaze.
"We just got out of the river how dirty could he be?" Falcon said with chuckle. He moved over to his spot and accepted a bowl from Star before sitting down. "Mm … delicious, my compliments to the chefs," he mumbled between bites.
"I made the lad a pick," Mudon said. "Is there anything else he'll need to be ready to join us in the mines?"
"I have some old leathers he can wear," Falcon said, scraping the side of his bowl. The druid glanced in the direction of the outhouse.
"I'll go speed him up," Star said standing. "You finish your meal, Falcon … doubt you were fed in the hole."
Falcon's hand quivered slightly and he nodded his thanks. Crystal reached over and placed her hand on top of his, squeezing lightly. Falcon was finishing his ale when Star raced around the corner of the building. He waved off her alarmed look and sighed.
"Adran, where are you?"
"Here," Rain answered aloud walking through the opened front gate. Walking a step behind him was Sly, his hand tightly held onto by the Sin'dorei. Both elves stood sheepishly for a long moment, Rain pleaded silently with his eyes. Sly's gaze was focused on the ground.
"Please …" Rain whispered as Falcon pushed away from the table and approached them.
"Rain you need to stop acting like a damn rogue, no more sneaking out of the camp. You're not a prisoner here but I need to know where you are." Falcon voice was calm but firm. "Your dinner is getting cold."
Rain paused glancing between the two elder elves. "It's okay, kiddo, go eat," Sly said removing his hand from the grasp of the Sin'dorei. Rain tried to move around Falcon but the druid reached out and wrapped an arm around his waist. Hugging the slender elf to him for a moment, Falcon kissed the top of Rain's head before releasing him and motioning to the table. He then turned his attention to the rogue.
"I'm sorry; he showed up at Silverhelm and made it quite clear he wasn't leaving without me." Sly said. "I'll go now."
"Wait!" Falcon commanded. Tired eyes met his gaze and the druid sighed. "I'm sorry, Kotka." Sly raised an eyebrow but didn't reply. "After all these years I should trust you to not jeopardize the safety of the camp for a toss in the furs … but …"
"But?" Sly replied.
"Next time you have a desire for orc, come to me instead … please."
Sly failed to hide his surprise; he glanced down for a moment. "But you don't have tusks …"
"I could," Falcon replied with a grin.
"Damn it, I don't do the feral thing." Sly grumbled.
"Don't knock it until you try it," Falcon said. He motioned toward the table. "Dessert is about to be served."
"Let me return to Silverhelm real quick and assure the Captain you aren't going to flay me." Sly's gaze moved to the pale elf watching them. "I'll be back," he said loud enough to be overheard.
Falcon saw a small smile come to Rain's lips as he turned his attention to finishing his dinner.
Later that evening the whole camp was nestled around the fire, no one wanted to be farther than an arm's length away. Falcon was snuggled between Rain and Crystal. Sly had an arm draped around Red and his other around Gola. Star and the other dwarves were engaged in a lively game of dice. Crystal slipped out of Falcon's hold and disappeared into their hut only to return a moment later with a lute. Kneeling near the fire she started plucking the strings. A flute appeared in Sly's hands and he joined in her melody. The others fell quiet and listened. Falcon removed the band in Rain's hair letting it fall loose. He ran his hand through the silken strands as the tune switched to a familiar lullaby. To his surprise the pale elf in his embrace started singing along in Thalassian. Softly Falcon joined in, using his own birth tongue. The languages mirrored many of the words. After the melody faded the camp fell into a comfortable silence.
Crystal set the lute down and Falcon watched her touch her stomach in a way that made his blood turn to ice. Rain stiffened in his arms, his empathy picking up on the change in Falcon. Afraid to speak the druid reached out, his wife willingly leaned into his touch. He gently sent his magic into her, seeking. She sensed his search and pulled back with a look of puzzlement. His hand grasped around her wrist like a viper as he continued his probe.
"Akire?" she whispered, there was a sense of alarm in her mental contact. Rain grabbed their hands and tried to separate them but Falcon had the strength of the grizzly. With his free arm he harshly threw Rain towards Sly who let out a cry.
"What the hell?" Sid said setting his ale down.
Falcon let his wife go as suddenly as he grabbed her and sat back with a look of disbelief on his face. "We swore …" he whispered. "We can't … not here … by Elune not here …"
Rain who had freed himself of Sly knelt down beside Crystal and wrapped his arms around her. She ran a hand down the elf's long locks but her eyes were on her husband.
"Someone going to explain what in the hell is happening?" Sid asked.
"There is another heartbeat … my wife … is with child." For the first time in a decade Falcon felt lost.
