			            Aysu glanced warily up at their home on stilts. Perhaps, when they were making it, they weren't exactly expecting a monsoon to come on the first day. However, she was certain that it was rock-solid structure with all the effort they had put into it; hopefully, it would withstand the growing winds and pouring rains better than she feared.
  The naiad quickly swam to shore and arrived on land, tail forming into legs relatively seamlessly. Her body had gotten used to transforming back and forth so often, almost to the point where Aysu would admit feeling equally as at home in this form as in her original form. "So you said they lived in a cave? You got any idea what direction it's in?" In the meantime, Aysu fished around in her bag for something that might help.
  Perhaps she could get a compass from somewhere...

			            He nodded, walking them to the door of her mother's home. He searched with his eyes for the women that she called parents. From what the angel gathered, there was one on the beach and the other in the water...
  "Cover your ears." He warned, Seraphim didn't need cinna going deaf while attempting to alert her family they were safe. The male waited for his mate to have her ears covered well before using his ability, sort of certain that his voice would be heard over the storm. "NOEL AND AYSU, RETURN TO YOUR HOME, CINNA WISHES TO SEE YOU NOW." He called, voice sounding perfectly normal just very very loud.

			            Cinna did as asked and covered her ears. Even then she could feel the pressure of his voice's volume. She waited until he was done to uncover her ears. "They built a nice house." She looked around the outside of it, to get in it looked like they had to swim and climb a ladder. "Should we wait to go in?" She asked as the storm blew her hair around face.

  Noel nodded as the arrived at the shore. She then heard an unmistakable voice over the howling wind. A shiver went down her back, not because of the storm, it was Phim. "That's him!"
  Noel whipped around to see the two were close to the house. "How did he know?" She asked Asyu as she started to shake from nerves and the wind, cold didn't bother her at it's coldest times. "Do we go back?" She was really letting Asyu lead here, Noel was too emotional.

			            Scratch the compass, she needed something else. The fact that this freak of nature knew where she and Noel lived was a little frightening, especially since neither of them had seen Cinna or Seraphim recently. Heck, Aysu had never met Seraphim personally herself... but she had more than enough of her share of stories to believe that the man was indeed a being of pure, unadulterated evil packaged into a form with dark wings.
  What did people like that need? A rusty steak knife. To the face.
  The naiad swung her bag behind her and shoved her hand into it, visibly smirking in a way that would seem oddly devious compared to her usual state. "Sure, we go back... but not inside." Aysu had other plans, and the drenching rain with the horrid winds were almost the perfect condition to do it in. He'd never hear her coming. "We need to ask him, first, how the hell he found us."
  She paused, before adding, "And I don't trust that b*****d inside our new home anyway. He's... not invited to our housewarming party."

			            They had found the place by sheer chance, he doubted he'd be able to find it again so easily. But then, if they didn't want to believe that then that was their choice. It wasn't like he spent his time scouting to find Cinna's parents.
  It was clear he wasn't welcomed, but for Cinna's sake he wasn't going to bow out and be polite. There was more to it than just bringing her around for a house warming party. He couldn't hear much, just rain and wind howling past his ears. 
  The male angel wrapped his arms tighter around Cinna, but not in a way meant to hurt. It was more of a protective motion. She was carrying something he was still rather angry about but he considered it precious even through the anger. There was still so much potential regardless of if Cinna ran after they were born. Of course, Phim had no idea his 'brother' had spoken ill of him to someone that would spread the word about his true nature. He wasn't going to be very happy when he found out.

			            Cinna held tightly to Pihm. The wind and storm was really starting to fatigue her. "Let's go inside!" She shouted to Phim as she pulled him inside. She found the couch and sat herself on it. She had no idea how her mother's thought about Phim. She was just happily smiling and hoping for a wonderful reunion.

  Noel watched as the two then went inside almost hearing Aysu's disapproval. "Too late." She said to Asyu. She was starting to worry about Asyu, she wasn't acting like the naiad she fell in love with...she was starting to scare her. 
  "Cinna looked tired." Noel explained as they made their way back to the house. "Please don't do anything rash." She pleaded with Asyu she loved Cinna and didn't want to lose her after all this. Maybe Cinna didn't know about Phim? Or maybe she did...Noel was just too confused and upset to think straight.

			            "Rash? Why would you worry about me doing anything rash to Cinna? No, no, there's someone else I would rather do rash things to," coldly remarked Aysu, as she made her way back to their house, hand still gripping the object she had summoned into her bag. "But even those actions aren't rash. I know his nature. He can't hide it from us. He'll try to, and I'll just destroy him. And then Cinna will be safe, and the world will live happily ever after..."
  Aysu had never had any particular reason to be out for blood before. Perhaps this was still the woman Noel had fallen in love with, just a side of her that had been buried underneath all of her reasons to be happy. Why would she have been upset? She had Noel, she had her family, they had a fantastic life together...
  And then Cinna decided to shack up with a jackass.
  No, someone was going to die today. "They just invited themselves into our house? I'd've accepted that from Cinna... but Seraphim has never met me personally. What makes him think I'd let him in?" Aysu snarled, now given a perfectly good reason to use the object she had summoned. And so, she ascended the ladder.

			            He wasn't making himself at home. The most he had done was move to let Cinna sit. There was no need to make her stand with that swollen stomach. Phim's ear twitched, turning around to look at the females entering. He looked at Cinna for a moment, adjusting his facial features to not seem angry. It was clear through any of them, to Cinna at least, that he was still pissed at her. But for now, he would do what he could to make her family believe that he was happy for this.
  It wasn't really Cinna's decision, it was him. He had dragged her into this sort of life, though it was her who had decided to stay. "Still happy?" He asked, looking at her, honestly wanting to know if she was.

			            Cinna smiled, "Very much so!" She knew he wasn't happy at all, but she was. She wasn't always happy in this relationship, but for once she did get what she wanted. She looked down and rubbed her belly as the Mother's came in. "Mom, Asyu! Hi!" She waved to each.
  Noel nodded and followed her love. She would follow Asyu to the ends of the world if she could. She did love every aspect even this raging anger at a supposed b*****d of a pae. 
  She walked in and ran to Cinna. She then stood back as she saw the huge belly. "Cinna?" Was she pregnant with his child? Her hand flew to her mouth as she looked at the happy Cinna and the smile on Phim's face. He looked just as happy. "Aysu?" She looked at the angry naiad, what did they do know?

			            Aysu had a bit of a one-track mind.
  While Noel was looking at Aysu, Aysu's eyes had narrowed, focused on the purple and black-winged angel that was standing next to Cinna. He looked happy enough, but that expression on his face didn't sit right with her. Even if it had been a truthful expression, with all of her assumptions Aysu would have never believed it. That smile was simply a way to cover up the feelings held deep inside.
  "Cinna," hissed Aysu, her voice containing a harshness that Aysu had never shown to Cinna before, "get away from this man! Do you know what he does?" She quickly drew her hand out of her bag, revealing the slightly rusted steak knife that she had been gripping onto. "He deafened my sister's fiancee, on purpose! I'm sure you remember him, Bneut was his name?" With a snarl, she continued, "I've heard from my brother to avoid a certain someone named Seraphim or Scott because one of his friends happened to be Seraphim's brother-slave."
  Her focus centered right on Seraphim's chest. "Now, you've got some talking to do, before I gut you, apparently." She would have been more up to just gutting him, but she would go with Noel's wishes...

			            Seraphim's facial expression changed instantly. It went from happy to pissed in a fraction of a second. someone blabbed about his true nature. But that wasn't even the half of why he was angry. Not only had someone told anther about what he really did, there was someone threatening to try and gut him. He gave off a low growl, grabbing the rusty steak knife by the blade and yanking it out of Aysu's hand.
  "Now, if you're done trying to threaten me, Cinna has good news." He stated, tossing the rusty thing aside. He hadn't winced to the blade that had dug into his skin, cutting him deeply. "Though it looks like her news won't be welcomed here" His voice was cold, accusing the two women who seemed like they would gut Cinna to get his spawn out of her and not care what happened to the children. At least Aysu gave off that vibe. Noel seemed more willing to give him a chance
  His facial expression changed once more, looking at his mate. While others may have thought it as mean or angry, he had given her a look that showed he cared. Even just a little. "Cinna, after you tell them we're leaving. I'd rather not have to fight your mother in law because of my brother."

			            Noel's eyes widened at Aysu's behavior. She was shocked, but knew why Aysu was acting this way. The nest few seconds seemed a blur... good news...leaving...Noel jumped to Cinna's side. "No, you can't leave!" She couldn't let that happen.
  "Aysu, Phim!" Cinna shouted as her mother-in-law pulled out a knife and then Phim threw it away. What was going on? Why was everyone so upset? Cinna felt hot tears start to course down her face.
  She was scared for everyone. They didn't know what Phim was capable of! She screamed as she felt a wave of pain go through her. She didn't know what the pain was from...emotion or labor. "It hurts!" She said to Noel and the rest, not knowing what to do.

			            (( Umi, just a reminder... you need permission to control other people's actions. Controlling Aysu's reactions to any extent is considered godmodding, and that includes assuming she wouldn't try to hold onto the blade. Please don't do that again. ))
  Aysu snarled at Seraphim's actions, drawing her hand into her bag and summoning another rusty steak knife, before pointing it threateningly in his direction again. "Wanna try that again, b***h?" She asked, yellow eyes flaring with a fire of anger burning inside. Seraphim thought he could shrug her off so easily? The naiad wasn't going down without a fight for Cinna's life.
  She was about ready to lunge forward and stab him when her daughter-in-law began screaming, and the naiad dropped her arm. "You're safe for now, jackass." With that, she dropped the knife back in the bag and ran over to Cinna, willing to ignore him momentarily... until she figured out what Cinna was screaming about.
  "Darling, what hurts?"

			            His eyes narrowed at Aysu, "She's rather pregnant, do the math." Seraphim growled at her, brushing some hair out of Cinna's face. "This is going to hurt. A lot. You've had worse, just take it out on the couch." He tried to soothe her, not helping his case any. In any case, he had a good idea of what to do. Cinna wasn't the only one reading the books that Leitha had brought back.
  "Noel, hot water and towels. Aysu, just go stand in a corner." That was, if they would listen to him. He wasn't going to let the two who would rather him be dead than let Cinna be happy, deliver their children. No, that was his job, it wasn't like he was going to faint or something stupid. "Deep breaths Cinna, you know how to deal with pain." He stood up, whispering something in her ear. "If it gets worse, there won't be consequences for hitting me right now." It was low enough that his mate was the only one who could hear it.

			            Cinna flinched away from Aysu when she asked what was wrong. She could understand and deal with Phim....it was his nature. Aysu, she was always loving and kind...she didn't understand and had no time too. She reached out to grab Phim's hand.
  Noel nodded and then went to Aysu, "Do you want to help?" She figured Aysu wouldn't want to leave Phim alone. "We won't be long." She grabbed her hand and pulled her just a little to see if she would budge.
  Cinna moaned in more pain. She took deep breaths as Phim suggested. She looked up at him and actually gave a smile to his comment about hitting him. "I..just...may..." She then giggled like her normal self.
