The Past And Future Collide

Alexander snorted softly as he smirked, amused. "There is that bottle of water, of course, though I'm not sure if there is enough for washing clothes. Might be enough to make the bread, though. If I can find some wild yeast, it would make fixing the bread quite a bit faster, perhaps in hours rather than days," he quipped. He shivered slightly as she hugged him, though he hugged her just as close. "You're the only one I'm insatiable for, Angelina... my Angel," his tone was teasing.

He scooped up the bottle of her own sweet juices, capping it closed as he stirred the fire, quickly discovering the hot coals. He checked the rear door and found a good stack of quartered logs and carried a couple of armloads inside. It didn't take long to get the fire back to life. He got the empty pot and exited the cabin, seeking a close, clean water source.

Angelina began cleaning the cottage after Alexander left. She made the bed and put away their personal items from Alexander's bag. The fruits and herbs that she had gathered along the way she took into the kitchen area. She found a broom and swept every inch of floor, getting up all the dust and dirt. When he was able to find water and bring a bucket, she would scrub the stone floors clean.

She had enough of the stew from last night to feed them a mid-day meal when Alexander would arrive back to the house. And she looked around at the furniture. As long as they were in the cottage they would need a crib for the baby. Eventually. And she knew that she would need to have an alternative should they need to flee. Though she didn't need anything just yet.

Alexander smirked slightly as he knocked on the rear door of the cabin. A hollowed log a third as tall as he, just under two feet long, and just under a foot and a half wide hung down his back. A thick woven vine rope held it in place across his upper chest.

He'd filled it with water after lining it with moss, using a freshly fallen tree's sap as glue not only for the interior, but also as waterproofing to 'glue' the bottom and top in place. "Found water, and found a bigger hot spring pool. Those are always awesome in the winter, even if getting down there and back wouldn't be so fun," his voice was low and amused before he crouched, the thick log thumping against the stone floor.

She looked at him as he entered carrying the "container" that he had created.

"My love, you are incredible." She ran to him, laughing and clapping her hands. "And water nearby. Now I can scrub the stone floors and make everything clean and beautiful for you." She was so happy.

"Wash your hands and come to the table. There is just enough stew left for us to eat it." She ran over and dished up the stew into his bowl, placing it at his place at the table.

Alexander exhaled softly as he tugged off his thin gray-black gloves. "Frankly, dear, there is only one thing that I would wish to 'scrub' and make 'clean and beautiful' at the moment, but it isn't the floors," he deadpanned as he sat.

She sat the food down on the table and smiled at him. "I know what you want to scrub. But it shall have to wait until I finish scrubbing the cottage. I desire something first before you eat. I want a kiss."

Alexander chuckled softly as he tilted his head. "Well, I can't kiss you if you don't sit in my lap, and I intend to help you with cleaning up after, along with the cabin. Besides, what would take a few hours would take half that with help, and a third if we work together," he quipped jokingly.

He knew that Angelina would very much notice his body's stiff manhood, though it was very hard not to react around her.

She laughed at him. "Very well!" She sat on his lap. "Now give me my kiss! And a kiss is all! We have too much to do right now."

Alexander laughed as he hugged her close before kissing her deeply. "Don't worry, honey. We're going to have plenty of time for more fun later on. Right now, we feed our bellies and get this cabin in livable shape, though I did find something nearby... well, it's highly intriguing as I suspected that there was something... here... nearby, but it seems dormant," he said shyly as he glanced towards the south, though he didn't reveal what precisely he'd found.

Needless to say that it was very... odd... to say the least. He wondered if the dormant something he'd sensed was what he suspected it was.

She stood up and served the stew. As they sat at the table eating, she considered herself lucky to have fallen in love with such a caring man. He was willing to help with the housework. Many men considered such things the job of a woman.

He was very secretive concerning what he had found out there. She hoped it wasn't anything bad.

They finished the stew and she had Alexander carry the pot over to the basin so it could be cleaned.

Alexander smiled as he helped Angelina. "I'm sure most would say that housework is 'a woman's work and duty'. I don't give a damn what other people say, as it's not called a 'housewoman', eh? Housework, as it's name states, is working around the house. It doesn't matter who does the work," he said quietly, unintentionally voicing very similar thoughts to his lover's.

Angelina got busy cleaning and scrubbing every inch of floor. She was so thankful that Alexander helped her and between the two of them it only took several hours to scrub and mop up the floor in all the rooms of the cottage.

By the time they finished, she knew that she needed to prepare something for the evening meal. While he finished the mopping up of the water, she prepared another stew with a different variety of ingredients: pears, rosemary, some salted pork. She couldn't believe the perfectly good food left behind.

Maybe the previous owners had been forced to leave.

Once that was done, she was exhausted as the stew cooked over the fire in the fireplace. She wished that she had been taught how to cook. Mama had expected her baby daughter would marry into a house where there were servants who would cook, clean, and do manual labor.

But Angelina would not change a thing. Though they were not married, she considered him her husband, in her heart. And it did worry her that her child would be considered a bastard, born in the wrong side of the sheets. But she already loved her son, though if she figured correctly the baby would not be born for 7 more months. And she would do what she had to to protect him, even if that meant dying for her baby. And she loved Alexander that much too.

Right now, she was bone tired.

Alexander had managed to find a broad board and used it to push the water out of the cottage. He was a bit exhausted from the hard work, but didn't mind it at all. "See? It took less time. Probably would have taken a few days to get this done alone. Maybe after we eat and get the dishes taken care of, we can get a good hot bath. Best thing after a long day," he said with a soft sigh. "Besides that, you deserve a thorough pampering, sweetie," he teased.

Angelina hugged him, hearing his heart beat in her ear.

"My love, you are so good to me. And I think that you will make wonderful father. Have you by any chance, considered what you would like to name your son?" She was interested in what name he would like.

She had him sit at the table while she served him the stew. As she sat down with her own bowl, she smiled at him and placed her hand on her stomach, feeling the baby growing there. She somehow felt that this baby was a special baby, though she couldn't say why.

Alexander tilted his head in thought. "I was thinking Sebastian or Vincent... and maybe use your father's name for his middle name," he said after several moments in deep thought. He saw her eyes widen in surprise at the gesture, making him suspect such a thing was quite uncommon.

He looked thoughtful as he rolled his shoulders. He had to admit that he knew little about Angelina's family save for the shorter than he preferred time with her mother. "I did find some wild yeast, which will speed up the bread process, and the best thing is that it takes very little to do a lot, so even a single yeast plant will last a good while, though I found five plants, so it's possible for us to grow our own," he said thoughtfully.

She was surprised. That he was willing to honor her Papa touched her, bringing tears to her eyes.

"My Papa's name was Aubrey Jerard du Vairmer." She threw herself into his arms, hugging him tight. What he said about the wild yeast didn't even register with her as all she could think at the moment was just how much she loved this man.

Alexander was quite surprised at Angelina's emotional reaction. "From your reaction, very few father's seem to appreciate their wives as they should. It isn't just the father's family and name, but the mother's as well. What do you think of Sebastian Aubrey dú Vairmer?" he said shyly as he hugged Angelina close to himself.

He'd already put the wild yeast in a nearby room that could, at least for the present time, keep the cold that would soon arrive from killing the plants. "Now, we have to fill our bellies and take care of the dishes, then we can go ahead and get a nice hot bath," he said wryly. Fortunately, he did know a good recipe for sourdough bread.

...What do you think of Sebastian Aubrey dú Vairmer?

"But, my love, what about your name? The baby is yours too. He must have your name." She was worried. Did he think that the baby was someone else's? Did he plan on leaving her?

Alexander exhaled softly as he ate, thinking about how to answer. "To be honest, my family name... my parents had traced my family all the way from its 2014 time back to the late 1600s, though I don't know for sure how far back it goes. My parents... and grandparents for that matter... weren't kind or caring people. Maybe it's a good thing i didn't know them all that well before they died from a plane crash. They had this... problem that they thought they knew everything, and I'm pretty sure it was a big factor in their demise," he said quietly. "If I'm honest, I actually had my last name legally changed, though I used an old Gaelic form of the Irish phrase Èirí nae, 'Èirílae'," he said quietly. He was certain she wouldn't understand that phrase and likely ask about it.
OOC ||› His claim about his family is actually true for mine. My grandmother has traced our family line all the way back to 1690.

She listened to him speak. Her heart hurt for him.

As she kept her arms around him, she spoke.

"Alexander, my love, this child is yours. And I do not want my child to be a bastard. Those who know me will know that my child was born on the wrong side of the sheets if he has the last name of du Vairmer. I will not make claim on any of your property, but your child will have your name." She paused, trying not to cry. "I understand if you do not wish to be tied to a family. But I love you, and I'm not ashamed to have people know that this is your child."

She didn't know what that word meant, she only knew that it was a foreign word.

She left and went into the bedroom, sitting on the bed as tears filled her eyes. She felt a stirring and placed a protective hand over her stomach, calming the baby within.

Alexander blinked as she spoke before he exhaled softly. He leaned against the doorway, watching Angelina. "It's not that I don't want to be tied to a family... it's that I'm.... tired of being tied to MY family. They... are killers... if I had the choice, I'd take your family name," he said quietly, seeing her head snap up in surprise at the end. "Besides... I really haven't been born yet and won't be for another five hundred and seventy one years, so technically, I have no property," he said quietly. "And Èirílae means sunrise. Seems fitting for a woman who is my Sun." His tone was mildly teasing.

She listened to his words before rising to cross to him.

"Then, my love, you shall be reborn. You shall have a new name. You shall name yourself. And we will be your family. The baby will carry your new name, as will I. We shall create your family. And those who see your son will say, "there is the son of a wise and kind man." She smiled at him.

"Your son will be Sebastian Aubrey..." She paused. "What last name do you want? Èirílae? What, my love? Just name it. For if I am your sun, then you are my world."

Alexander blinked before he took a slow, shuddering breath. "That would be enough for me, and I don't care what others think... only you," he said shyly as her accent rolling his preferred last name made it sound so.... seductive. "You're my croí agus anam, my heart and soul," he said quietly as he hugged her tightly but gently.

She stood there enfolded in his arms, and felt pure joy. Their son was now named. And though they were not married in a church, she considered Alexander her husband. From this moment on, their family would continue on.

She turned her face to his, and with all her heart kissed her love.

Alexander was struck by a thought as he stumbled back, falling back onto the bed as they kissed passionately. He didn't realize he'd laughed aloud until he felt Angelina's hand lightly swat his chest. "I just thought of a phrase that was well known. The heart wants what the heart wants, meaning that even if people don't know it, the heart will find its way. I never would have imagined falling in love with a woman as beautiful of not only body, but heart and mind as well.... even when she's a total mess in appearance," he said shyly, teasing Angelina near the end.

"Now, we still need to finish our meal, then we can show our love however you desire... whether it's as simple as washing each other or... more sexual, as I've noticed you thoroughly enjoy," he teased. He was unaware that he was, in fact, much more well endowed than most men found in this time.
