Dark Love

Chapter 28

Damon handed me Katherine's file I read the file I couldn't believe that Katherine didn't have any living family members I felt bad for her I handed the file back to Damon. 

"I want to help the people in the Slums." I said sternly. 

"How?" Damon asked. 

"A lot of the people in the Slums work as fishermen and sell goods like jewelry, homemade spices, clothes, and blankets." 

"They don't make a lot of money?" 

"Only during market days do the sellers earn a lot of money." I explained. 

"I'll talk to my mother about this." He vowed. 

"Babe the Slums could really use shops they don't have any." 

"Do they have a place to worship?" 

"No there is no place in the Slums for people to worship there is no schools or libraries." I said. 

Damon wrote down everything that I told him I got up from my chair and was about to leave Damon's study when I felt Damon grab my hand it's been weeks since he touched me let alone hold my hand. I turned around and faced him Damon gently pulls me towards him and gave me a passion filled kiss I felt him wrap his arms around my waist I wrapped my arms around his neck we heard the door to his office open Katherine came into Damon's study she ran over to us. 

"What do you think of your governess?" Damon asked. 

"I like my governess very much she's very nice to me." Katherine explained.

Damon picked Katherine up and kissed her cheek she laid her head on his shoulder. 

"I'm glad you like your governess." 

"Daddy, I'm sorry for the way that I have been acting I hope you can forgive me." 

"Sweetheart, you have nothing to apologize for I should be the one apologizing to you." He said. 

"I forgive you daddy and I love you." Katherine replied.

"I love you, your mother, and baby sister very much." 

Damon, Kathrine, and I left his study and walked downstairs we put on our heavy cloaks and walked outside Katherine ran over to Chossa and hugged her Damon and I walked over to Katherine and Chossa we watched Katherine train Chossa when she was finished training her dragon Katherine fed her. 

"Mommy can I ride my pony Buttercup?" Katherine asked. 

"I don't see why not." I said. 

Katherine and I walked to the stables we walked inside the stables I helped Katherine saddle up Buttercup she led her pony out of the stables by the reins Katherine climbed up on the saddle Damon and I watched proudly as Katherine rode Buttercup around the grounds. 

"Why does Katherine carry the sword you gave her?" 

"Protection I guess because I always carry a knife in my boot and when I wear a gown, I have daggers strapped to my legs." 

"Katherine likes to dress like you." He said. 

"I know she does but I don't mind one bit." I replied. 

When Katherine was finished riding Buttercup around the grounds, I showed Katherine how to groom her pony Damon cleaned out Buttercup's stall Damon gave her fresh water and feed I handed Katherine an apple she fed it to her pony. Katherine, Damon, and I walked back inside the mansion and freshened up for dinner we decided to eat dinner in our private dining room.

"Baby have you ever been to the book festival?" 

"No, I never attended the book festival before." 

"Would you like to go to the festival? Damon asked.

"I would love to go." I said excitedly. 

"Daddy can I go too?" 

"Of course, sweetie." 

After dinner Damon, Katherine, and I walked into the sitting room and sat down on the couch Katherine was looking at my growing stomach. 

"Mommy, when can I meet my baby sister?" Katherine asked. 

"Not until Festival of Ghosts." I said. 

Katherine was starting to get tired I took her upstairs to her room and got Katherine ready for bed she climbed into bed I tucked her into bed I handed Katherine her doll and kissed her forehead.

"Mommy." 

"Yes." 

"When my sister is born am I aloud to hold her?" She asked. 

"Of course, your allowed to hold your sister when she's born." I explained.

Damon came into the room and kissed Katherine's cheek I blew out the candle and kissed her forehead. 

"Babe, Katherine thinks she won't be allowed to hold her baby sister." 

"Katherine when your sister is born you are allowed to hold her no matter what." 

Damon and I left Katherine's room we walked up the hall and walked into our room Damon and I got ready for bed and climbed into bed we were snuggling in bed he was gently rubbing my stomach and feeling the baby kick he kissed my stomach. 

"Have you thought of any names for our daughter?" Damon asked. 

"No not yet I'm going to wait until I hold her for the first time and then name her." I said. 

Damon blew out the candle I kissed him he brushed the back of his finger against my cheek I gazed at him and smiled Damon looked at me and smiled back we fell asleep.
