The angel and her demon

~Snow's winter~

-December 21-

Amber's POV:

We all wait outside for the Rosenbaum's to arrive at Robichaux. A black SUV pulls up, a man and two women exit the car. The gates open and we welcome them inside through the gates.

Michael says, "A most hearty welcome to Robichaux." Cairo Rosenbaum, the leader of the witch hunters says, "We're here to celebrate a hand clasp on a battlefield 600 years ago." Michael, "That changed the fate of both forms." They shake hands, and we all cheer in celebration.

Cairo smiles, "Michael Langdon, so good to finally meet you." Michael, "It's good to see you too, Cairo. May I introduce my wife, Amber." Cairo looks at me, "An honor. You really are as lovely and charming as they say." Then he introduces his wife, "My wife, Rosette Rosenbaum." Michael, "Rosette." She smiles, "I'm most pleased to be here, and to finally meet the famous Amber that we have heard so much about."

I smile, "It is wonderful to meet you as well, Rosette." Rosette extends her hand to the woman behind us, "And, our daughter, Blaise." As it turns out, (Lola's boyfriend's name) is surprised by the sudden appearance of Blaise, "Fantastic!" We waves to her and she smiles at him.

We welcome everyone inside the grand house, as we pour champagne into glasses and having beautiful soft and low Christmas music playing in the background. I take a seat by Rosette, and we both are provided with drinks. Rosette sips some red wine, while I just sip my water.

Rosette, "I have to say that you've adapted to your new role, beautifully, have you?" I say, "Oh yes. There were some growing pains, that's for sure." Rosette, "Congratulations on getting married, and for having your first child on the way."

I smile, "Thank you." Rosette smiles as I say, "Michael and I are simply excited to start our family. Do you have any other children besides Blaise?" She nods her head, "Yes. Elijah is 13. Vivian and Amelia are ten, Blaise being our oldest." I say, "Wow. Four of them." She smiles at me, "Right?"

Casen comes up to me, "You have never looked more beautiful, Amber." We hug, "There's someone I would like to introduce you to..." a woman walks into the room, and she stands by Casen, "This is Clara. She is my girlfriend."

I ask, "Wow. When were you planning on telling me." Clara loops her arms through his, "Well, we wanted to have some time, and we have been together for 6 months now, so, we thought, now is the perfect time to share the great news."

I smile, "Well, it is nice to meet you, Clara." She says to me, "To you as well, Amber." It begins to snow outside, and I watch with a smile on my face as Michael begins to set up the baby monitor later that night, "Testing. Testing."

I look at him, "I can hear you." He smiles, "Let's test it for real." He walks into the other room, "Are you seeing this?" I say, "Yeah." He is fascinated by the piece of technology, "Extraordinary."

In an attempt to get up, I loose my slipper. He asks me, "Amber, hello?" I say, "This is unbelievable" as I grunt in my struggle. He says, "Right? This is amazing." Just then he notices my struggle and he walks back into our room. I say to him, "I need a little help."

I whimper and laugh at the same time, "Amber, what is it?" I say, "I can't even reach my own slippers." Like a prince, he gets down on one knee and asks me, "May I?" I nod my head as he slips my slipper back on my foot. I say, "Now I know how Cinderella felt." He smiles at me.

He and I share a kiss as the snow and wind from outside of the mansion picks up and becomes a blizzard.
