Goose bumps rose on him, eyes widened as they stared back at the husband's fond smile. Marcus peered over to where Rachel could be seen at shock as well. A look of hurt flashed on the submissive thinking that his mother had revealed the secret, only to have the woman waving her arms signaling a 'no'. He sighed. So it was all you, huh. You always know how to hit the spot, Ri. Smaller pair of arms brought them back to hug, tightening ever so slightly, before letting go to lead his mate on the prepared table.

On the table was several dishes covering a whole meal course. There was the fruits and meat and soups. The family dinner table was yet to be changed so it still was a table for five. Of course, the fairy's seat was next to the human's.

Well, let not the food be wasted, sons. Dig in! Rachel kept a mindful watch on her son, see if she needs to quell some nausea. She was relieved to see shy hands grabbing again and again serving spoons. They had conversation as they ate, but when she would be idle, the mother would just observe on how her once introvert of a son open up so happily with Rorik. Thank the gods Rorik found him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dinner ended and soon the couple was to go home, but before completely leaving, Rachel caught up on them to give a bag to Marcus. It was a bag of herbs he'll need, Marc knows. Thank you, ma. He leaned to kiss her, but then the parent spoke. You better tell him soon, dear. And congrats on your triplets! Eyes widened for the second time that night, followed by a tighter embrace on the mother.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was your day, love? Marcus asked, certainly in good spirits. They were preparing for bed, his husband being rewarded with skilled hands massaging sore muscles for what was expected to be another tiring day for his lover.

Next week, it will be our anniversary. Do you have some plans up your sleeve? You didn't forget, right? He had teased and chuckled quietly from behind the bigger man. It may be him who gets surprised when he reveals everything on that day. Why is the fairy not scared anymore? Let's say that mothers really do have their way with words.

He was now confident that Rorik won't leave them no matter what. Now the only problem is, how should he tell without freaking out the human so much?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcus was back to work the following day, the herbs were really effective with his sickness and now he feels invincible. Recess came and he spent the time with his best friend.

Rin, I plan to tell Rorik soon.


And how soon is 'soon'?


Uhh... next week. It's our wedding anniversary you see, and I think that if ever he'll receive it well, it would be the best gift that I could give him?


Ooohhh... anniversary. What are you're plans?


Well...


You don't have any, don't you? Come by our at place later, I'll help.


But.. uhh okay. I'll just call to inform Ri. The forest fairy got up and made his call. The line was heard to be busy at the moment and so he opted to just leave a message.

Love, I'll be at Erin's and may come back late. Please cook dinner if I'm not back at 6. Love you! *beep* He sighed. Why did his mate turn his phone off? The human rarely does it.

I'll be with you, Rin. Make sure to have food ready. His laughter was pure, innocent from the angst to come.
