Auraka paused outside the faded wooden door, unable to gather the courage to knock on it. He had come straight from the hospital, not telling her that he was coming home today. He wanted to suprise her. He smiled, remembering his first words when he had woken up. Well, now he would ask her for real. He was healed, he loved her and she had stayed by him.
He knocked lightly on the door, he has a suprise for her. His face was freshly shaven, his jacket new and clean. The green eyes blinked waiting for a reply.

Gem I heard Pippa go running towards the front door, barking her head off a second after someone knocked. "Calm down Pippa!" I shouted at her, heading that was. She continued to growl, she was almost waist high on me. A good sized dog that much was sure.
I sighed and reached the door. "Pippa, sit!" She did, backing away from the door before doing so, so i could open it. "Auraka! What are you doing here, no one told you were coming home today!"

The good looking man smiled warmly as her saw her, eyes whole entire being glowing at the sight of her. He pulled her into a hug, giving her a kiss before pulling back slightly. "I know, I have a suprise for you," he said, giving Pippa's head a itch before covering Gem's eyes with a dark cloth. "I have a suprise, but you cannot know where we are going," he chuckled, taking her hand and leading her down the steps slowly. "Trust me," he whispered into her ear, closing her door behind him. Pippa jumped up at the window, eyes following them but didn't bark. She trusted Auraka.

Gem I shook my head as we walked, knowing that I could easily trust him, though it had not really been that long since we'd met. Auraka was someone I found it easy to trust. After all he'd been the first real friend I had here.
"Wont people stare if they see me like this in the car?" I asked. That would be a natural reaction if I saw something like this.

He breathed a chuckle, giving her cheek a kiss. "Maybe, but we aren't going in the car," he said. His hand rested around her waist, the other taking her hand. Behind her house sat the forest. A beautiful place filled with hidden places, Auraka had found one as such.
It was a few moments before he paused, in the distance it was easy to hear a river flowing. Birds and other noises were colourful to the ears. Once they stopped, he uncovered her eyes to reveal a pinic blanket beside a river. A basket sat on the edge of the red checked mat. "Sit with me," he chuckled, sitting down gracefully.

Gem My ears worked well though I could not see. "We're in the forest, I know that much, near the river." I smiled though when he let me see again. And so i was right, there was the river, and the forest behind me. "I knew it."
I walked over with him though and sat down. I knew he was planning something, that much was obvious to me. Not what though. Plus I had to tell him something but i would later, when we went back home.

He shot her a nervos smile, opening the basket it contained many different things. But he pulled out her favourite. "Chicken skewers with penaut satar," he said, opening the container they were still warm. "Made them myself," he said and offered her one.

Gem I raised one eyebrow when he said that. "I didn't know you could cook."
I smiled though. I liked the idea though that he actually knew how to cook. Meant I would not have to do as mucha s I used to.

Auraka chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "Dear Gem, believe it or not but we do learn something at that army base," he said with a chuckle but shrugged. "I like to cook," he added with a smile before pulling out a few more things. Two glasses, white wine, chocolate and a few other small things. He looked up at her, pulling something from his pocket and chuckled at the memory. "Gem, I know I have already asked you, but I must admit that I wasn't really thinking at the time," he smiled, taking her hand gently in his. "So I will ask you now, a bit more meaning in it," he said opening the box. "Gem will you marry me and be forever mine?" he asked, his heart skipping a beat. She had said yes, but she might of changed her mind..

Gem Hawksong I blushed at his first words and then grinned at the end of that. "My answer has not changed, Auraka. I still will." I looked towards the river for a few moments. Who would have thought all this natural beauty was out here behind my house? Not the old owners that was for certain. They had not cared.
I leaned over and kissed him gently.

He broke into a easy grin, his heart beated freely again. He returned the presure of her lips. "Well, then, lets eat," he said, tucking into the skewers. He looked at her, studying her as he ate. There was something different about her. Something...but he couldn't put his finger on it. He shrugged it off, knowing she would tell him in time he wasn't one to push for answers.

Gem Hawksong I smiled as I ate, knowing that sooner or later I was going to have to tell him I was carrying his child at the moment. One day but not yet. Now was not the time.
After I was completely full lied down on the blanket, getting tired, though that was not the normal for him at this time. It was for me though.

He smiled as she laid down, taking the plate from her gently he laid beside her, peering though the trees and watching the few clouds float by. He propped himself up on a elbow, smiling as he traced her features lightly.
He chuckled under his breath, remembering the day she had cursed at him.
"They speak of a girl, more beautiful than the sun, her lips and eyes so pure that they cannot be true. She walks with grace and proud strides, none caring of the dirt which hits her white pants," he said and winked slightly "This that girl you been moping over?" He had blinked, wondering how his general knew of such things, but shook his head. "No General," he murmered, wondering if it was her. "They say she carries a bow, her arms well muscled for a gal," he continued.
He smiled, remembering how he had found her. "I love you," he whispered, kissing her cheek before laying back down beside her.

Gem Hawksong I smiled as he laid down next to me. I would never have though that this was the person I would end up with. "I still remember my car's bad attitude towards you when you met me at the running track wheni was coming back from my old clearing. That was one interesting day."

Auraka chuckled, wrapping a arm around her and pulling her closer and sighed quietly. "You know I will go back," he murmered kissing her hair "don't you?" He would at least finish his service and then leave. But these dreams...it wasn't making it any different. He hadn't told her about the dreams, only the first one she had seen. He didn't want her to know his pain, he would rather shield her from it.
