In reply to: Mairah/Loch 's message, "inside" on 23:51:35 04/11/06 Tue

(She smiled as she took a moment to think back on the beginning of her relationship with Lochlann MacTierney.. though she would remember that first moment forever she was sure.) Well, the year I was to be brought out in society, my Ma was drivin' me bluidy insane with all the rules and ediquette and e'erythin that I had to learn in order to make a good wife.. and I was sick of it.. (She laughed a little.. sure she loved her mother, but she could be quite the general at times.) ..well, that night I had taken as much as I could, so I called up my best friend and we snuck out to go down to her uncle's pub in town.. and Loch was there with his friends. He kept lookin at me all night like there was something wrong with me.. and he claims he knew that he was goina have me right then.. (She shook her head a little, looking over at Mairah and letting her brow furrow a bit.) My da was a complete arse to him, when he came to ask for my handfast.. said he was ne'er goina be good enough for his lass.. but Loch ne'er wavered a bit, ne'er backed down and I think my old da just saw the strength in him and finally realized he wasn't going to let it go. (She took a drink from her lemonade and shifted so that she was facing Mairah on the bench, leaning forward as if gossiping.) I'll tell ye the truth, Mairah.. I fell in love with him hands down within a week of livin with him.. but I made him wait until the day before our year was up before I agreed to stay with him, didn't want him to think he had me so quickly, ye know? (She said with a little laugh and then cringed when she heard the wails from inside.) Och.. that'll be wee Jailynn.. she'll be wakin the lads, do ye want to see them? (She got to her feet then, waiting for Mairah before leading the way inside and up to the room where the tiny lads were already waking and preparing to fuss.) (He too winced a bit when he heard Jailynn cry, though it was more from surprise than anything. He wasn't an idiot, he knew that labor was painful on a woman, and Jailynn was an especially small woman to say the least.. but he realized as he heard her throaty cry of pain that perhaps it would be best for all of them if he and Mairah waited to further consumate their marraige. He didn't know how he would react to watching her grow with pregnancy knowing that she would have to go through this sort of pain eventually. He smiled as he watched Lochs eyes light up as he mentioned his lads, and knew that the pain and everything that went with it was worth it to bring those miracles into the world.. but that didnt mean he was ready to suffer watching.. or hearing.. Mairah suffer. Tipping his head, he thought about her and sort of lost track of what Loch was saying until he said something about them being brought to their knees by a single look, then he blinked to clear his thoughts and looked over at Loch.) Sometimes I don't think I can remember what it was like to think straight anymore.. (He said with a somewhat nervous laugh, then walked over to help himself to another glass of scotche.. he was going to need it if he was going to listen to women and babies crying and all the while thing about his own lass.)
