Aislynn knew that the rock wouldnt be their forever home.  For two really good reasons. Ciera and Jason Lannister. 

Tyland knew of Aislynn's dislike for his family and he understood, he didnt like his family most days. He loved the family he made with Aislynn but his mother was over bearing and his elder brother was a pompous idiot. 

Aislynn walked out on the balcony the sun hitting her face. Maybe there was a third reason Casterly rock wouldnt be there forever home. She loved the breeze from the waters, loved their home but she wanted to be more south. She was a southern lady. 

Finn was in lessons with Tyalnd, aislynn loved that Tyland wanted to teach Finn himself. Said a good father puts in the work with his children, all his children. A good husband puts the work in with his wife, with their home, with their marriage. Aislynn loved his work mentality. Loved that he was driven. 

Aislynn found them in the library, Tylands collection of tomes had increased since they bought the house.  Aislynn's collection of dresses and accessories had increased as well. 

AIslynn came up behind them draping her arms over Tyland's shoulders. He smiled looking up at her. 

"Mum, dad taught me out to do useless numbers today." Finn remarked holding up his parchment. 

"Useless numbers." AIslynn repeated taking a seat beside Finn. "That sounds like a good way to waste a morning." 

"It's not useless. It's money management." Tyland corrected. "It's important. You want to have money, and make a profit, get a good job one day, you should start with learning how to save money." 

"Mum likes to spend money." Finn countered. Aislynn pursed her lips trying to keep from laughing. 

"I mean he's not wrong." Aislynn agreed. 

"And if you, Finn want to be able to give your future wife everything her heart desires, you should know these useless numbers as you say." Tyland remarked. 

"Tyland is a smart man, Finny." Aislynn remarked. "You should listen to him." 

"I did, I said I know how to use the maybe not so useless numbers." Finn altered. 

"Great, now that we got that sorted, lets go the market and pick up some of that yummy spread I love so much and some of that flat bread to go with supper!" Aislynn decided. 

"Mum we are saving money." Finn mused. 

"We need to eat." Aislynn corrected. "And I'm not buying a new dress. This is food. It's different." 

Finn pushed the stroller with Titus and Tobias in it while Aislynn moved about buying food for the week. She put things in and on the stroller when Titus jumped out. 

Tobias was gnawing on a hunk of bread, slobbering all over it. Titus poked at all the pretty shiny jewelry that caught Tylands eye. 

"Which one would mama like?" Tyland whispered. He glanced back at Aislynn and Finn as they taste tested from a vendor. 

"That!" Titus declared pointing at the little sparkly bracelet. Titus even at barely two years old, knew Aislynn liked the simple but sparkly jewelry. 

Tyland picked it up and nodded. Titus was very much right. 

"I will take this." Tyland remarked paying the woman. 

"A lucky lady?" 

"It's for My wife, and I'm the lucky one." Tyland assured. 

"I think we got almost everything but I saw mangoes and I need some," Aislynn remarked pressing a kiss to Titus' head. "Whats that smile for?" 

"I got... you... present." Titus whispered in her ear slowly. 

"You did?" Aislynn coed. Titus kissed her cheek. "Best present ever." Aislynn assured. She glanced back to make sure Finn and Tobias were still there. Tyland wrapped his free hand around her waist pulling her to him. 

"I got you a present too." Tyland whispered kissing her. 

"I like that present." Aislynn agreed touching his cheek. She bumped her hip against his and his cock twitched in his pants. 

Tyland held out his hand and Aislynn's eyes dropped to the shiny bracelet. Her jaw dropped. 

"You werent supposed to buy me anything." She whispered. "We had that talk about money and Finn- dont let him see it." Tyland laughed out. 

"I wanted to get you something." Tyland corrected. "Do like it?" 

"I love it," Aislynn assured. "But..." she sighed as he latched it onto her wrist, she touched the little jewels. "This is not part of Finn's good with money talk." Aislynn reminded him. She kissed him quickly before her eyes dropped to the bracelet again. "Its gorgeous." 

"I help!" Titus reminded her. 

"Thank you baby." Aislynn agreed. 

"Helped with what?" Finn questioned. 

"Nothing." Aislynn assured. 

"Mamas gift." TItus corrected. 

"Oh, ratted out by a child." Tyland whispered into her. 

"Mum!" Finn declared. "What happened to just buying food?"  he scolded. 

"It was not me, blame your father!" Aislynn assured. 

"Dad, you are an instigator." Finn realized. 

"Someone has been paying attention in our language lessons." Tyland countered. Aislynn loved when Finn called Tyland, dad. Finn was her baby, just as much as Titus and Tobias besides the fact she didnt have to push him out. Finn quickly adjusted to Tyland because Tyland treated his AIslynn right. Tyland ruffled Finn's hair. 

"I am the instigator of your mum's spending." Tyland agreed. "But I love spoiling her."
