"How is she? I heard that she had a bad attack. I am grateful that you were there and that you were able to care for her." Irene looked at Gabriel scared. "She is doing a lot better now. I think that the worst has now pa.s.sed and we just need to keep an eye on her. She is resting at the moment." Gabriel stepped aside and sat back down. He changed the cloth of her forehead and noticed that her temperature broke. He let out a sigh in relief.
Edna came into the room and saw the two children and smiled. "This is a beautiful moment. Thank you gabriel for taking my daughter. I know that you have a lot already on your plate."
Kazuki peeked his head in and saw Mayumi sleeping and the girl that was sunwell was in between the two youngsters. He nodded his head.
Suzuka stepped into the room and she beamed in happiness. "This is truly beautiful. I was a little worried that she would be causing you issues but here we are and everything is just fine." She looked at the girl in the middle and saw that she was still unwell. "Will she be okay?"
"Yes, she will recover. These attacks are pretty normal 9ufor her. It is just very concerning that it is happening so often. She wasn"t supposed to have any more attacks today but here we are. I will stay with her as long as she lets me. You guys go ahead and get unpacked and we can all have lunch in the next hour or so when it is ready." Gabriel went back and sat down above her head.
Amelia opened her eyes and looked at Gabriel as he sat down and she smiled. "Thank you for staying." She looks at the others in the room. "h.e.l.lo." She ran her hand down Inari"s fur. "Thank you as well Inari."
Gabriel touched her forehead with his hand and she smiled at him, "I am glad that you are awake. How are you feeling?"
"Mmmmmm, I am a lot better than when you came home. I am sorry for freaking you out. I should"ve went back inside but when I saw the carriage pulling up I freaked out. That is what set off this attack. I am sorry that you had to deal with the effects of an attack." Amelia sat up slowly then looked beside her. "Who are the little ones?"
The boy is Itsuki. His father is the reason I was able to come home early. Subaru helped me collect the herbs that I needed and on top of that he is becoming my apprentice. The girl is my niece. I found my brother and his wife. Suzuka is the lady that is over by the door.
Suzuki walked over and kneeled in front of Amelia. "I am Suzuka, the mother of Mayumi. I hope that you do not mind that I have returned with Kazuki."
"Please don"t bow like that. It will add strain on the little one in your belly and I would not be able to forgive myself if something happened to your baby." Amelia bowed her head slightly and smiled at Suzuka.
"Thank you, I did not know that you would be here but I am glad that you are feeling a little better now." Suzuka looked at Amelia. "You are a sweet girl."
Gabriel pulled Amelia down and had her relax into his embrace. He was hugging her gently from behind. "Do you want to go alone?"
Amelia nodded her head. "I would like that. If it is possible." She relaxed in his embrace and before she could say anything he lifted her up and carried her out of the room and onto the porch. He leaned down and grabbed the blanket by the door then walked away. He took her to under the sakura tree and wrapped the blanket sound both of them and sat down on the ground leaning against the tree.
Amelia rested her head on his chest, while one arm was around his neck and the other was in her lap. "What would you like to talk about?"
"I know that my mother brought you to get the wedding dates. I can just hear her excitement right now. She will gush about anything that she wants. What did Fujiwari say to you?" Gabriel looks down into her eyes and kisses her forehead.
"Hideo said that he is willing to come and do the ceremony at the house here so that I do not need to climb the stairs. *I should tell you that Sachi is his daughter so I know him. He helped me up and down the stairs. He also knows about my illness due to me staying over at Sachi"s place. He treats me like another daughter." Amelia took a deep breath and then kissed Gabriel"s cheek.
"I did not know that those two were related but now it all makes sense. I guess it is a safe a.s.sumption that you got the wedding dates but have not set anything in stone because you wanted my opinion?" The sakura tree flower petals started to fall all around them.
"I was given three dates. One is six months from now, another is a year from yesterday, and the final date is fifteenth of next month." Amelia smiles as Gabriel looks like he is thinking this over.
Gabriel watched her as she smiled. "You are so beautiful to me and I think the sooner the better. The fifteenth is that destined day for us then. Has mother made your life difficult?"
"Difficult? No, she has been really nice to me and very sweet. I am very grateful as she gave me a room that has such a pleasant view. We made wagas.h.i.+ together and I did some flower arranging in my bedroom. I also made your mother tea. She was very impressed with my work." Amelia reached her hand up and pulled a sakura petal off his head and let it go in the wind.
