The Immortal's Gift

Chapter 15: Back Home

three days later... 

Samuel and Nicklaus returned home to get back to their jobs and of course Samuel's sword business. Being out of town for a few day's sure had him stockpiled with orders. He made thousands of silver coins and gold coins with the hundreds of Amor and swords he had sold. Meanwhile Nik was busy helping at a corner pub and sneaking off with Emily, Leaving Sam to catch up with all the work in the house. As he sat there repainting the door frames a sudden knock at the front door grabbed his attention. He quickly stepped down from the chair nearly losing his footing and spilling the paint. " s**t " he grumbled as the knocking started once more " I'm coming " he said scuffling the supplies along. 

I knocked on the door patiently, looking around observing all my surrounding. The place had an old rustic look, it was quite beautiful. Although it was not really what I was used to seeing as I lived in a huge castle all my life this tiny home was nothing compared to that. I wonder how he must have felt being in such a huge place. It pained my heart knowing he grew up orphaned and unwanted. Rest assured I would never let him feel that way again. Haven knocked once more waiting for an answer. " hmm maybe no one’s home " she whispered. Then suddenly she heard a voice. " s**t " with the sound of things being knocked over. She giggled at the thought of Samuel being clumsy. She knocked again " I'm coming " Samuel's voice sounded. As the door open, she observed poor Samuel covered in dark brown paint causing her to burst with laughter. " What on earth happened to you " she smiled still trying to control herself. " Well, your knocking happened " He smiled back. " Oh, Sam I'm so sorry " her face still pink. " It's fine, not your fault I should have been more careful stepping off the chair " They stood there for a moment in awkward silence. " Come in " he smiled while directing her. She looked around, the place seemed much bigger and cozier on the inside then the outside. " It's beautiful " she smiled. " It's a work in progress " he chuckled. " Would you like something, anything I can get you " he stuttered feeling completely flustered still shocked at her surprise visit. " Um, no thank you. I'm fine " " What brings you all the way from the castle " his brow rose curiously. " I wanted to see you and possibly get away from all of the issues I am facing. " " Well, enlighten me I am a good listener " he c****d his head to the side. 

Haven and Samuel spoke for hours. " Hmm, so your stressed about producing an heir with everything going on. " Samuel questioned. " Yes, I feel a lot of pressure to give not only Nathaniel a heir to his people but an heir for my people as well. Especially if there truly a war happening right under my nose and I don't even realize it " she signed taking a deep breath. " Well I'm still trying to figure out how vampires can procreate, but maybe, have you discussed your concerns to Nathaniel himself? " Silence rose between them in an almost suffocating way. Haven hated that she was venting about her s****l life with Samuel, but she felt so at ease around him and it was easier to talk to him. " No, I have not. " she whispered looking away from him. " Well first things first , you need to speak with him and second you should wait a little bit you can't know that your with child  right away " he smiled trying to get her mood to lighten. " Well that's where your wrong " " Oh really, What part? " he laughed. " Vampires scents change when they are with child " she giggled. " How so? " " Well I have noticed my scents been a little off but it would be too early to confirm, Normally I smell like Daises to myself probably because I spend so much time in the garden " she chuckled. " Well what do you smell now " he asked slowly brushing her hair behind her ear. " I smell Daises, but I also smell sweeter, it's difficult to explain. " she sighed again. " Well say you are with child then what is it that is worrying you most at the moment " 

Haven turned to look at him. She felt as if she was being pulled into his hazel golden eyes. " I guess if I am really ready for this and You " she whispered. " Why are you worried about me? " he glanced at her observing her emotions carefully. " Sam, how do you feel about all of this, I know it's only been three day's since you left but still " " I am still trying to get my head wrapped around the whole thing in all honesty, but I can't describe it. You are indeed the most beautiful women and or creature I have ever seen, and I feel a pull to you to be by your side. I honestly want to see you happy and I want you to stop worrying " She look down, blush taking over her cheeks. " So, it doesn't bother you I may be pregnant by my husband or that our situation is completely unethical? " she chuckled. " Well for starters, name one thing that is even normal about this whole thing, then you can enlighten me. " he laughed. " Described normal " she said narrowing her eyes. " A world where I didn't know about super natural's " " Hmm, well considering this has been my life since I was a child I would have to say I am pretty normal like out of your world normal " They both began to laugh together. " Maybe stop worrying so much and speak to Nathaniel he is your king, and he is your husband or father of your child " " I guess you are right " she spoke softly. " I am famished, what would like... Sorry I - " " I eat food too you know " she spoke breaking the awkward silence. " Well in that case what do you like? " " Hmm, how about some old fashion pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs " she smiled and winked. " Coming right up your majesty " he spoke quickly rushing to the kitchen as they both chuckled the rest of their evening away.
