winter visit

[*Gem*]

Aram's family were coming today, by which was meant his parents. They'd spent the last few weeks tying up lose ends, selling out the store and sorting out their house and were moving in with Cadee, Aram and the three kids for a little while until they stopped hating what Miriel had done to their family.

Cadee wasn't sure she could ever forgive, it was too hard. She'd been tested once again and while her faith in the Goddess was unwavering and her love for her family was unquestionable her grief still picked moments to strike her down with anger or tears.

She finished packing the last of her music room up, glancing around at its changed state. No longer her room it had a bed and some furnature for her in laws. Her beautiful view was the last thing they would see and the first in their morning too. She sighed, but it was without bitter or jealousy. Cadee was just hopeful of easing their burden's for a while. She hoped having his grandparents may balance aiden also.

With the sound of aram arriving with his parents she returned to the living room to greet them.

[Aram Prince]

Aram came to find her, leaving his parents in the yard with Aaron and Talia. He wrapped his arms around Cadee's waist and kissed her softly. He loved her so much- And appreciated her selflessness. Even Talia said she would have problems moving in with her family. Then again, Aram's parents were a different sort than the Oaks. "Hiya, mirishin." Kissing the soft skin of her forehead, he smiled. "Where's my boys and Isolde?"

Of course, family was the root of Aram's existance. They were what kept him going. When Aiden died, he had a few minutes where he questioned everything... But his kids and wife got him through. Cadee was his soul mate in every sense of the word and he knew without her, he might not have made it throught he challenges of the last couple years.

She smiled up at him, accepting his arms willingly. "The boys are playing fort on our bed and Isolde's been down for a nap." She twisted in his arms, leaning into his chest and holding his arms around her for a moment, breathing in his warmth. "Is everyone ok?" She asked, eyes still closed. "Ma and Pa?"

[Aram Prince]

He nodded, "Everyone's fine. Ma's fussing already, wanting to know what she can do to help you."

"Oh nothing." Cade shook her head. "And you mustn't let her either- she can come in and sit and take tea and play with the children and be a lady of leasure for once in her life."

[Bails]

He stroked her cheek, "And she'll feel useless and mope?"

[Cadee Prince]

With something a Noel look about her, Cadee drew out of his hug and poked him in the chest. "I have no intention of letting your mother mope around the place, but she is a guest in our home Aram." There was a playful sparkle in her eyes, and she gave him a cute smile. "Now, why don't you help your father put their things in the music room- I moved everything out of it this morning, so it's their room now. And Ma can round the boys up, the clutchs need new hey and the eggs can be collected- they can do that together."

[Aram Prince]

He cupped her face and kissed her. "You are wonderful." He told her happily, "And I'll go help Da if you want to go find my Mam. She's excited to see her 'Lil Cadee.'" He laughed and kissed her again, before going to help unpack them.
