The Stables, Saturday Afternoon

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Everything was lovely today, walking with Spirit back to the stables, she couldn't help smiling and blushing at thoughts of Prom and earlier in the morning.

"You're in a rare mood, Adora," Spirit said, nudging her shoulder.

"I'm happy, Spirit. Things are going so well with Edward and everyone is safe for now." It was rare that she could say that and feel she wasn't about to jinx herself with a Horde attack.

"You do realize when you say things like that--"

"Yes, Spirit," she cut in with a laugh. "But I mean it. Nothing can ruin this happy day."

Poor Adora was still so new.

"Then you shall have it!" he promised. "There are all kinds here, I've learned!"

That was okay, wasn't it?

He glanced at Adora expectantly.

"You want to take," she had to breathe here, "my children for ice cream?" He might have just become the best boyfriend ever.

"But of course!" he replied, cheerfully. "They should enjoy ice cream, should they not? Besides, if magic is at play here, I cannot feel things that I shouldn't." It made sense!

He peered down at the blonde headed children, and smiled.

"Thank you," Adora told him, pushing her hair behind her ears. "You don't know what it means to me that you believe me."

He reached a hand over to trail his fingers down her cheek and cup her chin. "I have no reason not to believe you."

She leaned into his touch, feeling much better about this whole mess. "I--"

And then there was a child tugging on her. "Yes?"

"Are you cheating on daddy?" Hamilton asked, judgment in his voice.

Prince Edward smiled and looked down at the boy child.

Oh. Tough question.

Poor Adora.

"Of course she is not! I am her very dear friend," he replied, hoping to quell any child fears.

"Considering I have never been with their father," Adora muttered under her breath.

"Children, this is Prince Edward, my very good friend."

"A Prince?" Madison scoffed. "Our daddy is a King!"

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"But that is..." No, he could hardly argue with a child.

"I will be a King one day! Ah-hah!" he preened, showing off his excellently pressed princely attire.
