Nephele and Jett's wedding was beautiful. It was nice being with Raidyn's family and the tiny vacation overseas was much needed. I was thrilled when Raidyn's Uncle Zephyr asked if we would entertain the newlyweds for their honeymoon. I could use another girlfriend, plus Nephele, Raven, and I could all have breakfast or lunches together to just talk and I can hear some childhood stories, and since we're all mothers we can talk about our children.
Riesner is four years old which still blows my mind, the tutors says he's doing good in his studies, but what is most fascinating about him is how strong he is in his magical capability. I couldn't be more proud of him. Raidyn has been teaching him to ride and he's also started beginner fencing lessons which he enjoys.
Hollis is three and half and is bugging Raidyn nearly everyday to take him out to the stables, he's even asked for us to buy him his own horse. Hollis is very intelligent in his studies. Hollis looks like a year older than he really is. Him and Riesner are the best of friends always playing and talking to each other which warms my heart.
Adelaide, my Dela, she's two years old with her wavy, thick black hair and big blue eyes, she looks just like Daphne. Dela is obsessed with her father and is always following him around and when she's not, she in her father's arms being carried around.
I couldn't believe the twins are already a year old. Cassius has Dela's looks the black hair and blue eyes while Wynonna looks just like me with red hair and green eyes. You couldn't even tell they were twins with their different features, but you can see it in the face. They're extremely close, just like Riesner and Hollis, is almost makes me think Dela is lonely with the odd amount of children we have. Maybe another year or so Raidyn and I will have another, but right now I'm content with five.
We let Nephele, Jett, and Van get settled in their assigned rooms in the castle while Raidyn and I unpack and the nannies help the kids. I do a whole lot of not unpacking as I wrap my arms around Raidyn and look up at him lovingly. "Do you know how much I love you?" I stare into those beautiful electric blue eyes.
"Is that the effect of the wedding talking or my gorgeous wife?" He teases smiling wide.
"Your gorgeous wife." I smirk and stand on my tippy toes to kiss him. "But also the effect of the wedding. It was so beautiful and all I can think about was how amazing our honeymoon was being locked away in this room."
"It's good to be back home." He croons and jumps onto the bed patting the spot next to him.
"Why lay next to you when I can lay on top of you?" I crawl and straddle him. "Mmm, you're so beautiful."
"If I patted myself I thought you'd think I'm just patting my stomach." Raidyn laughs.
I chuckle, roll my eyes and bend down to kiss him passionately. "I love when we have this time together, no children to interrupt us..."
"I'm worried about Wynonna, she's still got that cough." He sighs and rubs his forehead.
I take a deep breath and straighten my back. "The healer is giving her medicine. It also didn't help that we were traveling. I think she'll be fine. I mean I'm worried too, but at least it's not poison." I weakly chuckle.
Within seconds we hear little fists banging on our chambers. The door creaks open and Dela enters running and laughing while climbing and crawling into our bed. "Daddy!"
"My baby!" Raidyn picks her up and spins her around while kissing her cheek. "I love my little sweetheart."
Dela giggles. "Oh Daddy." She grabs ahold of his face and puckers her lips. "I love you."
