Babysitting: At the Lake with Nani ~ pt 2

Tinania keeps singing and the story moves one how the princess waited months for her prince to come to her side. But he never came to her, she had given up all her hope, until one night she heard horses. Looking over the window there she saw him, her prince.

Surion reached forward leaning towards the image trying to touch the horse curiously

Tinania smiles as the story continues on. The prince claimed his love for the Princess. Because the princess felt the same way the spell was broken. At the bottom of the tower the doorway appear. The prince jumped off the horses and ran up the stairs to be greeted by his princesses open arms.

Surion looked up at Tinania and smiled and giggled he liked the song even if he didn't understand the language

Tinania finished the story as the Prince carries the Princess off to his kingdom. Looking down at Surion she smiles "Did you like my singing?"

"Tinanana sing pretty" he told her nodding, he did indeed like it. "pretty song"

Giggling she smiles "Thank you...Sur, I'm glad you liked the song." she kisses his forehead before looking to Tari and Celia who were still sleeping. "I think they wore themselves out swimming.."

"They sleep lots" he observed leaning against her. He looked at her leg that he sat on and used a finger to draw little circles on the skin. He looked around and then got up walking out onto the sand and sitting again to play in it

Tinania watches him smiling. She shook her head sighing. "He is finding a way into your heart Nani..." she wanted to watch over him and protect him forever. Standing slowly she walked over to the sand and sat down next to him watching him play.

Surion looked up at her "Tinanana play in sand with Sur?" he asked patting his hands on the mound of sand he had created

Tinania nods then smiles "Sure I'll play in the sand with you Sur." she runs her hands though the sand making a mound herself before she grabbed a handful of water and poured it onto the sand. Slowly she started to mold it.

Surion watched her curiously then grinned getting up and running for the water to get some water for his sand, he didn't know till then adding water let him make things better

Tinania giggles and slowly she builds the sand upwards into a tower. She craves windows out of the side then looking around she grabs a leaf that was on a small twig placing it on the top.

Surion made several trips, his little hands and excitedness only had brought a few trickles of water for his sand each time. He eventually had a soppy mound of sand that had no special shape but had a 'cave' on one side

Tinania smiles watching him, she giggles then looking around she digs a moat around her tower then dug out to the lake. Slowly the water flow into her man made river then around the tower.

Surion watched it in awe "Neat neat" he said with a grin his mound had a half a dozen caves in it by the time he was done

Tinania blushes then looks to what he had made "What do you have there little Sur?" her wings fluttered a little from the wind as it blew them.

"Cliffs" he said with a grin "Dat a cave, Vina live one" he said

Tinania smiles "Ah I see, maybe one day I shall see this place and meet Vina..." she touches his nose then looks up at the sky. The sun was starting to set, looking to Surion she smiles "Come on let get the other two that way I can get you to my home so you'll be nice and warm." she leans over picking him up.

Surion smiled "Okie" he replied and wrapped an arm around hers turning his torso to watch ahead of them, "Tinanana...." he said a moment later looking at her again with a semi-worried like look

Tinania looks down at him as they reach the other girls "Yes sweetie?"

Celia was already sitting up rubbing her eyes as she lifted her arms above her head.

Tari was still fast asleep on the ground.

"Sur gogo" he said quietly not sure where he'd go but that didn't change the fact he had to

Tinania eyes widen then looking around she picks up her wand. Slowly speaking in eleven she holds her wand out. Slowly out of the ground a potter potty. Walking over to it she help Surion remove his bottoms then places him on the potty.

Surion giggled "Sur knows" he told her, he simply needed it, thankfully it was something he picked up fairly quickly after the last time he'd been around her at the clinic

Tinania nods then turning to leave him alone she walks over cleaning up and packing everything. Celia pushes at Tari who groans as she wakes.Tinania shakes her head as she finishes packing then looks to her two friend "We should head back home soon. Its getting near dark"

Both Celia and Tari nod as they both stand pulling there clothes on.

Tinania glances back to where she left Surion as she pulled her clothes on.

Surion was standing pulling up his now dry but sandy trousers. he looked at her "Sur cold" he said having no top still

Tinania leaning down she grabs a blanket that wasn't used. Walking over she picks Surion up wiping his sandy trousers off before wrapping him up in the blanket with her. Turning back she head after Celia and Tari who had everything in the car.

Tari looks around "That everything?"

Celia nods as she climbs into the car "Yup, lets get out of here.."

Tinania smiles climbing into the car holding Surion. Tari turns the car over then turning she heads up the dirt road heading back to Barton.

Surion smiled cuddling into the blanket and against her. he had forgotten the jeep till they got back in and was curious about it again

Reaching Barton they drove towards the other end of the town. Upon reaching the other edge of town. Tinania leans down whispering what sounded like a address into Surion ear.Tari drove on but this times she took a road that seem to just appear heading into the forest.

Surion blinked confused and looking up at her, he had no idea what she meant

Tinania smiles, she knew he wouldn't understand it now, but just by telling him he would feel any of the spells or charms. She held him close at they reached the clearing to her home.Climbing out she picks Surion back up before looking to Tari and Celia "You to be careful..." with a wave she turned walking up the stairs to her home. She looked at Surion before looking though her emo bag for her key.

Surion watched Celia and Tari for a moment waving as Nani walked to the door. "Tinanana house?" he asked looking up at the large house definitely larger then his home

Tinania nods as she opens the door, stepping inside she closes the door behind her. She looked around. It seem everyone was gone still. Walking over she sat Surion on the couch before walking over to light the fireplace with her wand. "Yes this is my home. But this is also Damien home. Our families live together.." Walking back over she sits picks him up placing him back in her lap. he looked him over "Hmm we need to get you warmer clothes..."

Surion nodded listening to her "Dameen live wif Tinanana" he looked around he was interested in his surroundings it was to him different then any house he'd been in

Tinania nods "Yup Damien lives here also." she smiles as one of the house elves come walking up holding a tray of warm milk. Nodding to the house elf she smiles "Could you find some warm cloth for this young man here please?"

The house elf nods then turning heads up the stairs.

Tinania turns then pulling out Surion cup she pours the warm milk that was in the second glass into his cup. Holding the glass out to Surion she smiles "One day when your older I'll show you all of Emerald Haven.." she picks up her glass of warm milk sipping it as she held his still.

Surion took his cup and watched the curious creature over her shoulder until the elf disappeared "Who dat?" he asked curiously before taking a sip

Tinania smiles then giggles "That one of Damien's house elves, they live in the home. She really sweet..." she takes another sip then places her drink down.

The house elf comes back down the stairs holding some black sweats and a little sweater.

Tinania takes then and smiles "Thank you.." the house elf turns and retreats back into the kitchen. Tinania looks to Surion "Okay lets get you into these so you'll be warm."

Surion watched the elf disappear again before turning back to her "Otay" he said putting his cup on the couch it made no mess it had a lid, he got up on the couch ready for changes

Tinania smiles pulling the sweater over his head making sure not to hurt him. Pulling his trousers off she helps him pull on the little sweat pants before picking him back up "There all better." Tinania returns the hug she lays down on the couch before picking him up to lay next to her. Placing his cup on the tray she smiles looking at the fire then Surion. "Did you have a fun day Sur?"

"Sur have fun" he nodded then yawned softly

Tinania smiles running her finger along his hair "That good...and that all that matters.." she yawns herself before looking out at the fire in the fireplace.

Surion cuddled against her and closed his eyes tiredly

Tinania smiles then looking over she waves her wand so a blanket float over then lands over both of them. She yawns then holding Surion close she watches the fire trying not to fall asleep.

A while later Ala was dialing Tinania's number now back at the house from her outing with her mate

Tinania opens her eyes rubbing them for a moment. Looking down at Surion she smiles before leaning over to grab her cell from her bag. Flipping it open she presses talk "Hello?"

"Hi Tinania, it's Ala" she said hearing her answer, she wandered around then sat

Tinania yawns then giggles "Oh hey Ms. Ala, how was your day with Torvil?" she looks down making sure Surion was still sleeping.

Surion was still fast asleep despite Tinania's movement

Tinania smiles pushing her hair from her face "It was fun, I took Surion out into the water with me. He is just like you. Right now he sleeping on the couch at Emerald Haven, well we both were. I woke up hearing the phone."

Ala smiled "I think it's the Kerrsalian in him " she mused "It's a lil late should I come there to get him?" she asked

Tinania smiles "If you like, I promise my mum I would be home before she got home from work which isn't for another three hour, but after today I'm tired. So if its not to much trouble please.." she yawns again then shakes her head trying to keep her eyes open.

"That's no problem, I know how to get there" she said, she didn't know if Krista or Lenore had told her that fact or not. "You do sound tired"

Tinania eyes widen a little "Mum must have told you how to get here. And yea I am tired, Its been a long day. Just look for the extra key sitting in the jewel on the sign above the door. I'll see you in a few Ms. Ala..." hanging up the phone she looked to make sure everything of Surion was together before laying back down closing her eyes.

Ala turned off the phone and walked out of the house spreading her wings, it didn't take too long before she was landing leaving her wings unfurled and looking for the key Nani had mentioned finding it and slowly opening the door "Hello?!"

Tinania was already asleep as Ala walked into the house. The house elf that had retreated into the kitchen peek her head out looking at Ala. She smiles then points towards the couch before going back into the kitchen to finish her duties.

Ala chuckled seeing the elf and wandering into the living room she wished she had a camera just then the scene was absolutely priceless and she was going to have to tell Krista about it. She walked up beside them "Hey Nani" she said quietly placing a hand on the girl's shoulder her wings rustling a lil

Tinania yawns slowly opening her eyes, blushing she sits up straight "Hey Ms. Ala, um I see you found the place alright..." she pushed her hair from her face feeling very embarrassed to have fallen asleep even though she should have been awake.

"Aye, it's hard to miss if you know where to find it" she said with a smile "How long has lil man been asleep?"

Looking down at Surion Tinania smiles "All of an hour I believe." she yawns covering her mouth then smiles "He was such a good boy today..."

Ala smiled "I think it helps he has a babysitter who is a good influence on him" she winked

Tinania giggles then looks to Surion "No he just a great little guy all together.." she blushes then smiles.

Ala smiled "I suppose I should get him home to his own bed" she said softly moving to pick him up and noticing the clothing "I'll get these back to you guys" she said

Tinania shakes her head smiling "No worries you can kept them Ms. Ala." she leans over kissing Surion's forehead "Night little guy.." she lays back against the couch then yawns "Night Ms. Ala..." she rubs at her eyes before they slowly close on her.

"Sleep well Nani" she said collecting the rest of Surion's stuff and wrapping him in his blanket then disappearing out the door taking once again to the sky

The house elf slips back out of the kitchen. She looks around before walking over to pull the cover up over Tinania then heading to the door she locks it. Looking around then with a nod the lights go and all that is left is the fire in the fireplace before she head back into the kitchen.

Ala got her son home and tucked Surion into bed before calling it a night with her mate
