Promise (A Garmau Fanfic) {Book 1}

Chapter 7

Aphmau's POV

It's been about a week since I've started living with Garroth. It took awhile to get set up but we made a small room, which we split into half with some bookshelves. And after Zoey heard what had happened, she used her powers to make Levin a new crib. I didn't know she could even do that. But on one side of our makeshift bookshelf room, we had the crib Zoey made, and one of Garroth's spare beds for Malachi. On the other half, there was Garroth's other spare bed for me to sleep in. Both bookshelf rooms were tiny, but they were a fine size to sleep in. We also made Levin and Malachi a corner, right by the door for them to play. The dogs, which I had completely forgotten about, managed to escape through the door I broke. But they stay outside to keep watch. As for the two guards sent by Zane, they were let go as long as they stayed away. Which probably won't turn out in a good way but whatevs. No regrets.

And for the record, the only time I take off the necklace Garroth gave me is when I sleep. I wear it all the time. I just love it, and not just because it's pretty.

I think a part of me has always liked Garroth as more than a guard and friend, but I never really noticed it because I was always pushing my feelings aside, for I thought I had bigger things to worry about. But as soon as I heard Garroth tell me how he felt, I realized that I felt the same way. And now I feel like I'm floating.

Right now, I'm fixing us all a steak dinner, to make up for the burned steak, although, the steak isn't what everybody's worried about. Malachi is drawing at the kitchen table and teaching Leven about shapes. Gah, they're adorable. Garroth is on his guard duties. He gets up super early every day, but he always leaves us some breakfast. So to thank him for breakfast every morning, I make him supper, and he seems to really enjoy my cooking. One day I will give home the day off so we can have a day of good times, because its been awhile. Okay, its been a week and a day, but I am a woman of fun.

It was around 8:00 when Garroth came in wearing his armour that I gave him. I smiled. I loved the away it looked on him. The way the metal protected him, while still being light enough to be comfortable. And the way I had it made will pieces of musgravite made him look mysterious. It was a purplish black, similar to the colour of my hair when Nicole dyed it, while we were on our way to take Kiki to the wolf tribe village. That seems like forever ago. 

"What are you smiling at?" Garroth interrupted my thoughts.

"Nothing, just thinking..."

"About what..."

"About how ridiculously hard it was to get the musgravite for your armour. I didn't know it even existed." I laughed. "Dinner's ready by the way."

"Yes, another lovely dinner, from a lovely lady."

"Made for a lovely man..." I said.

"And two lovely children!" He added, smiling.

Malachi looked up from his drawing, and smiled.

"What you dwawing Malachi?" Levin questioned, "I dwaw circle! Hehehe!"

Malachi grinned mischievously.

"I drew a picture of Mom and Garroth! See? Hehehehehe!" He giggled.

Both Garroth and I looked away as we started blushing. It was, sure enough, a picture of Garroth and I, with a huge heart in the background. 

"Okay, supper time!" I proclaimed, as I began to clean up the crayons. I absolutely could not deal with my son teasing me about Garroth. 

A/N-- Hai! Isn't Malachi adorable? I absolutely love him. Also, here's a text convo I had with my friend, SkullHailey. Check her out, if you like vampires or werewolves.

Me: Pick one:

SK: I don't know, the third.

It was at this point where I made my 'How Dare You?!' face. Even though she doesn't watch mine craft diaries, so she had no idea what they were, and I was like Zane is EVIL! So that didn't go well.
