"I have the letter in my drawer. Top drawer. I read it once in awhile. It was well enough considering you looked to have rushed right out of the place. You left some jewelry behind that I have in my trunk as well. When you're ready you can come and pick it up." he smiled and then started laughing hysterically. "I could have sworn you said I had a son!" he shook his head."Don't scare me like that Aelin. My mother would kill me and I don't even think I'm READY to have a child for that matter."

"I'm not scaring you....only saying the truth. I was terrified when I found out. But he's beautiful. He's 5 now. I think you'll love him. He's a funny guy. Loves to talk and read. He's quite adventurous too. He's with my mother now." She eyed him earnestly, she wouldn't like about something like this and he needed to see it. "I wanted to go back and tell you but then we got attacked and everything turn into a big mess...and..." She sighed. "Just know that he's healthy. And full of life."

"I'll be right back." he managed to go out the front door. There were several gagging and puking sounds and then silence. He walked back in and looked at her, quietly. Moving to a chair, he sat down and closed his eyes. "I'm a....father? But....I've only just got used to being on my own for so long!" He shook his head. "Aelin...are you sure he's mine? I mean, could it be possible he's someone else's?" he was prepared to be smacked for that as soon as it left his mouth. He had to ask though. Taking care of himself was one thing, but a kid. Yeah he handled kids before, but his OWN? This was scary. He was scared.

She glared at him. "I'm not some slut who sleeps around." She clenched her teeth. Calm down, Aelin. He was just asking because he wanted every possibility not to be the kids father bit she was sure. She'd been a virgin when they done it. "Look, before you there was no one else....you got me nice and pure." Sighing she played with a strand of her hair. "If you dont want to believe me fine. I'll take him to meet you when my mother brings him back. And you can see for yourself. There are some things I'm careful about and I would never lie to a man about a child. It's not fair to any of us. I know this is out of the blue...but you came back out of the blue too...and it's only fair to tell you."

"I didn't mean it that way Aelin!" He growled and just sighed afterwards."My son...five...wow..." He looked at her and then around the house. "It's not that I think you would lie Aelin, don't get me wrong. Obviously you don't seem like that kind of woman. So I have a son. My mother's going to flip. She really is." he frowned and then thought about it. "It'll take me awhile to get used to this Aelin. Maybe I can see pictures and you can tell him about me. Hopefully I can make something up so he thinks I didn't just leave him. Tell me you told him I was going to save the world or something." he smiled hopefully.

"I know...you just dont know how to react. But I took offense to that. Just...look, I'm sorry. I know how you must be feeling. But I cant keep it from you." She frowned slightly. "If your mother is going to take it that bad I can speak to her about it. I dont want her to kill you. I'm sorry if I just complicated everything." She looked at him somewhat apolegetically then bucked up a bit. "I always told him you were off freeing people who were enslaved. He thinks you're a hero. He's waiting for you to come back from your great adventures." She smiled a bit. "I was never one to bitter, so dont worry he thinks the best of you."

"Thank you." he said this with tears in his eyes and got up, walking over to her. Giving her the best smile he could, he just wrapped his arms around her and hugged tightly."Thank you. You know, for making me a good guy in his eyes and all. I'll be here. I promise. I'm going to be a father. I'll help you raise him okay? I won't leave." He smiled. "Maybe...you can stay with me or my family or we can also get a place not always in the rain." He laughed. "It's nice, but I can't handle being in the rain like this all the time. I'll be wrinkly all day, everyday."

Her arms came around him. "I'm not sure...I've been here so long. We'll ask him. He's the one who deserves to have his father and if he wants to move in with you then I'll oblige him." She spoiled him in that way. Always given him what he wanted, but only if there was a good reason for it. She loved her son, she truly did. She pulled back some and wiped away his tears. "Maybe you should rest for a bit. You still need to gather all your strength. And since you'll have to go out into the rai naagin you'll need as much energy as you can muster."

"Alright. I'll rest cause you want me to, but you have to tell me all about him and then we can see my family once me and him are comfortable around one another. Sound alright to you?" He yawned and just put his shirt on and kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you Aelin. I did when I first met you. When you first gave me that beautiful smile of yours." He grinned and just looked around. "Bring me to the room then cause I'm tired." he closed his eyes and held onto her, snoring lightly.

She turned, her cheeks started to resemble her hair color. What a way with words. She smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "Sounds good to me. I know he'll be excited to see you. But it's resting time for you." Holding onto him she started for her bedroom. Well at least now she knew what to expect given his weight. She turned her head to look at him and smiled. So this was the possibility at a family. How exciting. She moved to the bed and put him down on the bed, moving to where his feet were and put them up as well. "Night." She moved for the door and then exited the room. It was time to plan on a few things for her son and Sirius. Changes were in the horizon, hopefully for the better of everyone.
