Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Congrats are in order

Belle's POV

I have just woken up from a deep sleep after the previous day's fight. A smile came to me as I could smell the good scent in his room. I turned sideways to look at him sleeping safe and sound and kissed his forehead and ran my fingers softly over his ear lobe. His light brown hair contrasted with his light brown skin. The back side and sides of his head were shaved short and he had dread locks coming from the top part of his head down to his shoulder blades. I placed my head on his pillow and got as close as possible to him. He suddenly grabbed my waist and moved me closer to him still with his eyes closed and kissed my nose. He opened his purple eyes and smiled at me.

"Good morning sunshine," he said whispering with a deep voice whilst kissing my lips.

"Good morning," I replied smiling at him.

Then I turned to face the ceiling and placed my hands on my belly. He rolled over to get himself above me and started kissing my neck, down the centre of my chest until he arrived on my belly button and held my belly with both of his large hands.

He smiled and looked, "I love you beauty queen," he said.

I chuckled as I felt a movement coming from inside my belly. He saw the skin around my belly move and giggled.

"I love you too ok. Do not protest now," he spoke to my belly.

"I'm hungry darling," I announced and winked to tease him.

"Well then, that means that I should go prepare breakfast for you my lady," he chuckled and bowed down, then he moved off me to go towards the door.

I stood up and changed clothes. I wore a white boobtube with one shoulder covered and a long white skirt that went down to my ankles. On the left side of it there was a slit that exposed my leg as I walked towards the kitchen table.

"Breakfast is served," he announced.

"Hmmmmmm smells delicious," I told him as I inhaled.

"Not as delicious as you look" he said back smiling as he eyed me from head to toe.

Elle's POV

"Left Elle," Elijah shouted as he swung his sword towards me.

I felt shocked and stood still with my eyes wide open and my sword dropped to the ground.

Elijah exhaled, "you need to train hard if you want to survive" he said.

"I do not like the idea of the sword," I told him and continued, "I can use my karate skills to defend myself."

He didn't look pleased at what I said then he grinned " or, you can combine both the sword and karate together," I stared at him, then laughed nervously at the idea.

I moved forward to face him and took a breath as he got ready for action. He swung the sword at me and I promptly jumped, moved my leg forward, pushing Elijah's shoulder. He let go of the sword and fell to the ground. Then, when I landed back I pushed my sword forward at Elijah. I smiled and lifted my head up with pride. I held out a hand to help him stand up but he took the opportunity to tease. He stood up and lifted me so my belly rested on one of his shoulders. I giggled and I tried to push myself down moving my arms and legs in mid air. I heard him laugh and tried to tickle me. In that moment I saw two figures from afar and as they got closer I recognised that one of the figures was Belle.

"Let me down. Your sister is here and she is with someone," I told Elijah.

Belle's POV

" Hi love birds," I said, "I have got more then just one news to announce to you so you better have my attention," I continued.

"I see you got yourself a boyfriend," my brother said with a grin.

"Jean, these are Elijah, my brother and Elle, his girlfriend. You must be already familiar with her. She is the one that helped us win yesterday's battle without any casualties," I said introducing him to them.

"I am very honoured to meet you both. Thank you for helping out Elle. It means a lot to us Ragnons. Surely we couldn't have done it without you," he said as he put on a lovely mesmerising smile.

"I have two other things to announce. Well, we have decided to get bonded officially. The ceremony will be in a few weeks time," I said as I showed them the ring on my finger.

"Oh woow! Do you mean you are getting married?" Elle asked.

"If that is what you call it back on earth then yes. Married," I said giggling.

"Congrats sis and Jean. I am very happy for you both. I am sure that both our parents would be proud of you," Elijah said with his eyes glowing at the mention of them.

I put my head down as I have realised that they would not be present on that special day.

"No no sister. They will be there with us. I can feel it. Their spirit lingers," Elijah continued knowing what my thoughts were, then moved forward to hug my pain away.

I smiled as I looked up at him and gave them the last surprise.

"Well. I am with child. I think I have two," I said looking at Jean as I have not yet told him that I was suspecting that.

"Two?" He asked with a surprised tone.

Elijah and Elle both congratulated us and were so happy. We exchanged hugs and Elle rubbed my belly and hugged it.

"I will be a good aunt, whether it is one or two in there. The more, the merrier," she said as she smiled at me.

"I'm so excited, I just can' t hide it," she sang out as she danced, moving her hips lightly. We all laughed at her reaction.

"We can officialy close down training and go inside," Elijah said looking at Elle, then at us.

Elijah's POV

"Uncle Ellie. Uncle E. Hmmm. Uncle El," I mumbled as I was pouring some hot water into a couple of glasses that had some herbs in them.

I placed the four glasses on the tray and lifted it up and moved towards the table.

"There you go" I said as the chatting stopped. I placed the drinks on the table and they all reached for one.

"So" Elle started after a long time in silence,

"How do you do weddings here?" She asked curiously. I chuckled and sipped some of my dring.

"The closest to us are the ones that are allowed to join the ceremony," Belle started to explain.

"The bride chooses her favorite and close friend to walk before her as she throws petals so that the bride would have a path to follow. When the bride arrives to the altar her partner would be the next one to join in. A hostess or host would help us do our vows, then he or she would pierce a small knife opening the palm of the bride and groom's hands. The bride and groom hold each other's hand as they vow that they will be together till death and that they will be loyal to each other forever."

Elle stared and looked shocked at the fact that they need to cut open their hands.

"That is extreme," she said as she made a serious face. She then explained how humans do it back on earth.

Whilst it sounded less painful, those were our ways to show that the bride is now one with the groom and no one else could take their places or get between them.

Belle's POV

" I was thinking that you should be my flower girl," I told Elle as I looked at her.

I waited for an answer but all she did was smile and nodded. I am sure she felt nervous at the news so I rested her mind that we were going to practice beforehand.

"I hope that I won't mess things up," she said nervously as she grabbed a piece of her hair and twirled it around her fingers.

I chuckled and assured her that it was an easy task.

"I'm nervous but I do feel lucky to be chosen as your good friend," she continued as she smiled at me noticing that she eased up some of the tension.
