It was two months before news came back from Dawn's expedition into the wild lands . It was a relief to hear that it was successful and to have the people who had gone come back in fairly good condition .
Kaldrek was relieved that no major mishaps seemed to have occurred to the party . Though Dawn's message was brief and only said that it had been successful and that no one had been drastically wounded during the mission .
She did not go into details over what had happened or why it had ended up taking so long, but it did not really matter . At least it was done and Jayesh would have one less thing to worry about .
Kaldrek watched his best friend leave to go find Fayre to assure her that those who had harmed her were dealt with . After watching till his friend had disappeared, Kaldrek left in search of his own wife .

AdvertisementIt was not hard for him to find Zylvia . She was lying on their bed asleep . Not wishing to disturb her he sat beside of her and stroked her hair instead .
She had been tired lately, her pregnancy wearing her out . Watching her squirm in her sleep, brow furrowing in discomfort as she tried to get a more comfortable position he sighed .
Kaldrek lay beside of his wife and took her into his arms, cradling the life she was growing . Their child . All over again it struck him that he was going to be a father soon . The thought was no longer as scary but left him with a sense of awe .
It was perfectly normal for him to lose track of time while holding Zylvia close to him, but before he knew it she was stirring in his arms . Feeling her stirring he quickly pressed a kiss to her forehead .
"Kaldrek?" She yawned and leaned closer to him, "What are you doing here?" Even as she asked the
question her hands wrapped around his neck . She blinked up at him, her lashes fluttering adorably .
"I came to be with my sweet wife . " While he spoke, he brushed her hair away from her face . A smile lit up his face as he pulled her just a little closer to him with his other hand .
"Mmm . " Zylvia shifted closer to him and found his lips in a gentle kiss . When she pulled back from kissing him she decked her head against his chest . "Did you need anything specific?"
He placed his chin on top of her head, enjoying their closeness . "Well, um, I thought you might like to know that the Grimshades have been dealt with . "
"That's wonderful!" Her hands hugged him tightly for a second and he had a feeling that there was a bright smile on her face .
"Yeah…" He murmured . "It really is . "
As she fell silent, Kaldrek pulled away from his wife and looked down at her . Zylvia eyes were closed and she had nestled into his chest . A very pleased smile hovered on her lips . Resisting the urge to kiss those lips of hers he instead kissed her on her brow .
She giggled softly and nestled closer . He looked down at her, "Oh? Are you awake, love? Here, I thought you had fallen asleep on me . "
"Nah, I'm awake . I was just enjoying being in your arms… . " Her voice dropped to a whisper but he could hear her clearly .
Hearing her say that brought a smile to his face . He had to admit that he rather liked it when she acted like this . Somewhat clingy and deliriously in love . And her pregnancy was enhancing her clinginess in some very cute ways .
Kaldrek was besotted with his lady and he knew it . While she had faults, and he could even name a few, most of them just endeared her to him . Made him want to protect her . Zylvia brought out the best in him . It was a fact that was undeniable . It was not just from wanting to impress her but from wanting to deserve her love .
He kissed her cheek, "Well, I enjoy holding you, my lady . More than I can even say . "
She leaned back from his embrace and tilted her head back as she looked up at him . When she did not say anything he took it as an invitation and kissed her lips gently . From the way she kissed him back he figured that she had in fact wanted him to kiss her .
When they broke apart, he leaned his forehead against hers and shut his eyes, "I love you . " The words came out as a whisper as he was still somewhat breathless from their kiss, "I really love you . "
"I love you too," Her voice was sweet and soft as she relaxed completely in his arms . Her smile lit up his entire world and he was glad that she was a part of his life .
