Aednat and the Wolf

Chapter 6 Swimming at Chandler Park

"Let's walk over to Grandpa's" Rosemary said, "Davey's there working on his car. Besides I want to introduce you."

"OK, Davey left very early."

"It's hot out so you can wear a pair of my shorts and a shirt."

"Thank you."

"Can Ulfy go too, it will be so cool? Shoes are optional," Rosemary said. They dresses together in Rosemary's room. "Don't you wear underthings Nit?"

"Should I, David never..." Rosemary was laughing at her distress.

"Hey, I won't either, no one will know." They walked out and traveled two blocks down Roxbury and turned right on Berkshire. "My grandpa's house is on the corner of the next block on Lakepointe. They continued walking. "I see Davey and grandpa by the garage, lets skip the house." They walked to the garage, "Hi Grandpa," she shouted.

"Rosie, no shoes? Who's you friend?"

"She's Aednat, Aediy, Davey's new wife."

"So David prefers red heads." David slid out from under his car.

"I was going to bring my wife over later. She speaks very little English."

"Just call me Grandpa," he said in Faroese, "I would like that. You and Rosie could pass as twins."

"That never occurred to us Grandpa," Rosemary said innocently.

"Is that your dog?"

"Actually it's a wolf, but keep that a secret. I'm going to take Aednat in to see Grandma." She hugged then kissed her grandfather's cheek as did Aednat. "Grandma!" Rosemary shouted as she entered through the side door, "I brought Aednat to see you."

"Davey said to speak Faroese to you, are you from there?"

"I'm from Greenland..."

"Call me Grandma. I have apple pie, so sit and tell me about yourself." She cut two large pieces of pie and sat with them.

"David rescued me from an ice cave, then asked me to marry him."

"Just like that?"

"I think he wanted to protect me."

"Do you love him?"

"With all my heart."

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear. My daughter tells me your Rosie's age."

"I'm a bit older."

"Have you been to school?"

"No, Davey is teaching me to read and write."

"Your wolf is magnificent, I knew a Puca once." Aednat was totally thrown off guard by this revelation. Grandma simply laughed with delight. "Your name is Irish, it means little fire, it's an apt name for you."

"I wish I knew who named me."

"Just a little advice, I know for a fact the Rosie here is not the little angel everyone thinks she is." She looked at her granddaughter and winked. "Don't let her get you caught up in all her tricks."

"But Grandma!" Rosemary cried looking shocked, "I am an angel."

"You are a good girl, just a bit more adventurous than most." They spent the next hour talking then walked home.

"Let's try on our bathing suits," she put a finger to her lips then led Aednat to her room. I got two bikini's which one do you want?" Aednat pointed to a blue floral print. "You can't tell anyone, Mom would kill me. Put it on." Aednat watched Rosemary put the panties on and tie the waist ribbons and did the same. "I'll help you with your top and you can help with mine."
