Next Morning Tina Wakes Up….Hunter Pops The Question and Francine Meets Sam's Brother

Next morning Tina yawned at five fifteen in the morning… you know you just look liked your mother as you slept my dear…. AAAHHH grandpa oh it is… where is Hunter… he is still asleep… where… the couch…. Pa you made him sleep on the couch…. yes, my dear why… he is my mate my husband… in his religion, you may… I know…I know Pa…I am sorry if…if you what… have let you down… nonsense dear I told you to live your life and I meant it… then know I love him no matter what our religion is… I know…

You saw me covered in blood some of it was my own plus the soldiers from last night… did they give you much of a choice… no pa they didn’t I tried to combat them non-lethally but no matter how hard I tried it came down to a flight or fight response and the thought of losing you or Hunter I chose to fight back… as he hugged her there…there dear I am proud of you for standing up… then you don’t think I am a monster… no dear Tina I understand completely…But How…

Hunter and I had a very long talk last night by the fireplace… I can see he can’t live his life without you in it and told me about what you all do between the animal preserve and be helping others who are faced with this and can not control it as a means for them to find their own way to save haven... you always thought of others before your own self just like your mother dear… I miss them so much Pa I never told you this because I didn’t want to show weakness around you but I always wonder if I make them proud… of course, you do my dear Tina come time to get dressed and let’s give your man a breakfast like no other… you mean… your mom’s favorite breakfast special …. Yea homemade biscuits and gravy with Canadian bacon….

Back home at Wolves Haven Francine began helping her family and friends when she came and said can I offer you some Lemonade Sam as he spoke yeah that would be great and who is your friend here… friend ha this is my brother Zach… my the resemblance is uncanny… that is what happened when you have an identical twin brother…while she poured the two glasses as she accidentally said well Sam I think you are cuter….

Stopping there blushing red and running off as Sam said look what you did bro you scared her off... no, I didn’t… I think she is into you though bro I mean did you see her blush… get out man as they continued to work… you got to tell me does she have a sister…yes, she does Zach but I have never seen her much so who knows now get back to work…I am I am jeeze slave laborer… well you know mom will kick both our asses if I don’t bust yours… joyriding the neighbor’s car what was you thinking… I wasn’t I know… well, I hope the night in Jail was relaxing since I had to bring you here to keep an eye on you….

Hunter woke up to smell delightful food as Rick said come and get it when Hunter said what is that smell … when Tina said it is mom’s famous biscuits and gravy with Canadian bacon Bon appetite while Rick and Tina set the plates of food down and said dig in…

Tina spoke I heard Pa put you in your place last night my dear… I wouldn’t call it that love I respected his home and his rules and besides we talked and I asked him a question I been dying to ask you other than my mateship with you…Hunter, you got me forever what else is there… when Hunter took a deep breath and got out of his chair…

Hunter what is going on what are you doing as she watched him kneel down to one Knee… Tina Leanne Wilson ~Peters for the first time in my life when we mated to our goddess Luna you made my life complete but there is more than one religion in play here… Hunter what are you… Tina Will you accept… my hand… our hands…our hearts to your religion and take me as your faithful husband….OH MY…YES…YES…YES…THANK YOU THANK YOU… as Tina cried as Rick watched the two couple hugged tightly…

Rick spoke well congrats are in order I guess when Rick came over and hugged his granddaughter and soon to be grandson in law…Pa you knew about this… yes, I did dear he asked me last night as you slept… so do I need to start passing out wedding invitations or obituaries pages…. Obituaries pages Pa what are you talking about Tina replied…

Well if he didn’t ask you sooner I was going to have to murder someone and it was not going to be you, love… thank you, Pa… for everything… you are welcomed, dear… so where would you have it… Pa I… I just said yes trying to rush us into marriage this quick… as Rick spoke I am not getting any younger my dear… I know Pa but if we did I rather be home with family and friends… back in PA… no Pa Utah among our family and my friends there… I understand dear and I would come back for that as well for it is not every day I will walk my granddaughter down the aisle while they hugged tightly…

Tina spoke do you think N.E.S.T. will come back Dear I hope not but we may have to return home soon… better be back home with numbers advantage than just us three… Rick spoke I agree but how when we don’t have a plane… Tina spoke you may not have a plane but we do… remember Pa always prepared as they sat back down and began to eat their breakfast… I wonder how everyone is back home doing… as Rick spoke of what happened back home...

Pa N.E.S.T. attacked there too and destroyed most of our housing and when I called dad’s airstrip to find you gone… they knew how worried I was about you… my dear, you should have stayed behind and helped them rebuild… I couldn’t Pa does that make me weak… no dear that makes you a strong caring woman that your parents be proud of… that’s why I came here to find you and bring you home… Back to PA… no home with me and Hunter live with us in Utah… I don’t know what to say… Say yes… I couldn’t impose on your family…

Hunter spoke to him with the care of his own... my family who cares for your daughter just like she is one of their own asked us to bring you there… Please, Pa what do you say… Ok…Ok, I will come to your home…as they all hugged together as the crisp Canadian sunrise began heating up the day while back in Wolves Haven Love is in the air and the houses are beginning to take form from the battlefield that once stood there…
