Re: [rp] Greystoke Castle

[Tasite]

Watching Corinna gently touch her stomach....and with a soft voice tell her they will not be wait long. Hearing Corinna tell her to push, Tas looks at Bri for comfort as she begins to push.

[Tasite]

gently encouraging

that's it m'Lady.... work with it... you are doing wonderfully

a quick glance up.. see that Lady Tasite's features are flushed.. but that she is managing the discomfort...

a little more... there

oooooooooh.. aren't you a cute one.... swiftly wrapping the bairn after carefully observing that all is well ... a happy smile as the bairn's cry pierces the sudden quiet .... nodding as the Princess and Ingrid help Lady Tasite subside back into the pillows... lying the babe on her softened abdomen and finishing that which must be done...

[Tasite]

Hearing the cry of the baby she smiles listening to Corrina she helps Tasite back into the bed.. Giving Corinna a glance and a smile she looks in the blanket curiously "Ohhh well aren't you the most handsome little man. You will surely make your father a happy man" she smiles again wiping off Tas's forehead before stepping back.. She whispers something in Ingrid's ear she nods to her "As you wish my lady I have the page notified and I will send the maids in with the baby bed." she nods to the lady and steps back over to help Corinna.

Glancing quickly at her to making sure she was ok "Corinna you did wonderfully he looks great. Both of you did wonderful.." whispering softly to her "Are you ok do you need to rest a bit?

[Tasite]

Hearing Corinna encouragement, Tasite continues to push. Feeling tired Tas wanted it to be over but she knew she couldn't not yet. She had to do this. Looking at the woman in the room she gives another push and she feels a slight relief, then another. When the cries of their child reached her ears, she knew now she could relax. Laying back in the bed with the weight of the little one on her stomach, she lays her hand over the baby. While she listening to Bri to him she realize it a boy. . Smiling Tasite softly speaks to him as well “Your dad is going to be happy to see you little man.”

Tasite looks over at Corinna, Bri and Ingrid and says "there are no words I could use to express how I'm feeling at this moment or how to say Thank you" to all of you for your help in bring him safely here..."

[Tasite]

Elson heard a cried of a baby. He jumped up and screen loudly

“My baby had finally come into this world.” He yelled.

He anxious to see Tasite and his baby now

[Tasite]

Somewhere in Coventry - Stafford, John Ming was busy doing as civil servant for county.

He got a message earlier that his brother in-law is going to give birth soon.

Up to date, you have not received any news from his brother.

"What is going on? " He mumble

[Tasite]

After the knowing that Tasite had done, Elson ran into the room and hold her hands.

"Are you feeling ok, my dear? You better get some good rest. I will cook some Chinese tonic for you."

He than take a look at the baby and carry him.

"It a boy" He smiles and hand over his son to the maid

"I must write to John and tell him this good news now. Or else, he is going to be mad with me." He say softly to Tasite

"John,

Tasite had give birth to a baby boy. Both of them are in good heath. Do plan your trip to visit us as soon as possible.

I love you

~ Elson

[Tasite]

unable to stop smiling, as she watches Lady Tasite with the babe.. finishing the clean up...

you are most welcome m'Lady.... he is a beautiful boy.. glancing up at the Princess .... I am doing well for now.... thank you for your concern.. the bairn lies well, though I am a little tired from the ride ... I think I will make some tea ... something that we can all share if we wish to ...

looking to General Elson having overheard his comment.. congratulations, Sir.. and I would be most interested in hearing what is in the tonic .. there is always so much to learn that may help people..

reaching for her bag... a puzzled look as she finds a slip of paper tucked inside.. opening it... reading .. a single tear forming and sliding down her cheek... quickly wiped away...

looking back at the Princess.. tis from my Beaker... he always seems to know the right things to do... her lips curving into a contented smile... tis the first time we have been parted since the joining .. and I have been missing him dreadfully..

he says to say hello, and to give you his love as well ....

My dearest friend,

By the time you find this little note you will likely be busy at Greystoke Castle, doing what you do best, helping people, and helping new life come into this world. I’ll be sitting in Stafford trying to keep another set of county elections from descending into chaos. You bring in the new life and I try to build a better world for those lives.

As I write this you lay sleeping in our bed, Henri cuddled with you. I look at you there, our child growing larger in you each day, and even though you are so close my heart is already weeping at our coming separation tomorrow.

I know it will only be a few short weeks at most but even a single day without you leaves me diminished. You are my balance, my anchor, my better mind, and my heart. I will be thinking of you with each moment, defying the distances that separate our bodies but not our love.

Yours always and forever.

Beaker

P.S. Give my hellos and love to my sister in law.

[Tasite]

Smiling softly "Aye he is a good man.. THe maids are bringing up a few things to snack on and also some tea just for you.. And Also the page is reading my old carriage.. Its the one Raythouse gave to me when I was pregnant with the babies.. It is a MacBratney heirloom in my eyes as it holds so many memorires, and I can't have my little niece or nephew bouncing around to much in there.. This way I know you are safe cuz if not im riding back with you to Beaker. Im sure he would love the house full coming home with you. " She chuckles "Although my darling Henri would not object I am sure"

[Tasite]

A pigeon had delivery the letter sends by his brother Elson.

"John,

Tasite had give birth to a baby boy. Both of them are in good heath. Do plan your trip to visit us as soon as possible.

I love you

~ Elson

After reading, John start to think about the gift for his nephew. Also he starting to brew some rice wine for his brother-in-laws.

Took a pen and start to write a reply to Elson

Brother Elson

Congratulation. Your are now a proud father. I am glad that Sister-in law and the baby is in good heath. That is most important that others.

I had start brewing some rice wine that I learn from Mom & Dad. It is good for the woman who give birth and help them to recover. I will bring them along with me in a week.

Have you name the baby yet. It has to be done before the baby full month celebration when we have our prayer to our Ancestor.

Take care and look forward to see you soon.

~ John

[Tasite]

After a long restful night Tasite wakes to find Elson holding and talking to there son, while walking the room. Sitting up she smiles at the sight of her two most favorite men in her life.

[Tasite]

waking feeling her love's arms about her, tasting his kiss on her lips... the woman lies quiet for a moment ... enjoying the closeness... then risees awkwardly from the comfortable bed...

her toilette complete she looks from the window.. a fair day.. and the road beckons...

knocking quietly on Lady Tasite and General Ming's door..

m'Lady?... do I disturb your rest?

[Tasite]

Looking out the window at the new day dawns, when she hears someone at the door.

Calling out she replies...."Please come in"

Smiling as she see Corinna entering and speaking. "Hello M'Lady Corinna. Please call me Tasite" she says with a smile. "Disturbing us never"as she giggles and besides, "I think our son has everyone beat on that one" as she looks over at the crib.

Turning back to Corinna and smiling. "Please have a seat dear and tell me how are you and the baby feeling?"

[Tasite]

gliding into the room.. a warm smile to Lady Tasite, and following her fond glance towards General Ming and the little one

Tis the work of the little ones.. Tasite.. they ensure we do not rest easily before their arrival, nor after... easing down into a chair near the bed

all is well with myself and the bairn... and you must call me Corinna .. after all.. there is no more close introduction than that which we have shared...

watching the Lady closely... ensuring that her color is good, and that she seems comfortable... and how are you feeling?

[Tasite]

Tasite wrinkles her nose then smiles at Corinna.... "I'm feeling a very sore and tired but other wise I think I'm going to be ok . I'm just very happy to have my son here to hold and watch grow into a wonderful man like his father, but I know you understand that after seeing your handsome little one at the dinner party... How is your lovely family?"

[Tasite]

Bearing a letter for Princess Brianna, a messenger wearing the colours of the Hamilton family, both the scot tartan and english colours, stands awaiting to deliver the letter and small iron-bound oak box.

He waits in the parlour fidgeting with the key about his neck as he stands near the table with the box and letter waiting on the arrival of the Princess.

Dear Princess Brianna, Grand Duchess of Cumbria and Guardian of the Northern Marches,

It is with pleasure that I reinstitute the honour of our family with the payment of land taxes to you from the estate purchased by my father from yours.
Your indulgence in keeping the deed of Workington Hall in the name of our family while I raised the needed taxes is a statement of your trust in us as your father had in my father.

The Hamilton family long has lived upon the borderlands and serves to the betterment of the borderlands, regardless of which side.. for we are all sons and daughters of Jah.
In the small box back taxes and payment of taxes for the 5 yrs, a total of 500 pounds in gold sovereigns of English mint.
It may please you to know that we are in the process also of dredging out the small harbour and building a pier. My brothers like their boats.. well ships.
May Jah Bless and Keep You and your Children,
Lady Gabrielle Hamilton de Grey

[Tasite]

nodding as the Lady responds

I miss Henri dreadfully.. even though he is not the child of my body, he is certainly the child of my heart.... I am sure that he is driving Enid, my maid and erstwhile nanny, to distraction...

tis amazing the mischief he can get up to , even though he is only 2.. and growing so fast...

soft smile he can be so like my Beaker sometimes.. the turn of his head, the little grin

settling back into the chair.. her mind half here, the other half with her lover... feeling his emotions surging over her at times... the connection as strong as ever

breaking her reverie

Twould seem then, Tasite, that you are doing well... this pleases me .. I fear that I must return to Evesham, as my own time draws near.. I know that I leave you in capable hands,however... the Princess has great experience in these matters, and will prove a strong support.. as I trove, your husband will as well another smile as she glances at the two

If there is a chance that you are travelling near Evesham, please feel free to join us at MacBratney House... we always enjoy company...

rising awkwardly from the chair, and curtseying to the Lady... slipping from the door.. asking a footman to ensure her mare and the conveyance from the Princess are prepared..

a note written, and left in the care of the major domo..

Dearest Princess

Thank you for your hospitatlity, and for ensuring that I have a safe way to retun to my love. I fear my time is approaching, and must return to Evesham.

Please feel free to join us there at any time.

Lady Corinna MacBratney

[Tasite]

After a few days rest Tastie started moving about castle with there son in her arms.

Looking for everyone Tasite make her way downstairs and to the kitchen... "Goodevening Ingrid have you seen everyone,"she says with a smile. "It seem that it has been deafly quiet as of late has everyone disappeard" she says as she giggles.

Feel the baby move in her arms, she starts to rock him gently..[/url]

[Tasite]

Packing a few bags she begins to walk around the castle it had been touch to deal with so many things that had happened lately.. She needed a break .. a trip... It would be good for her.

Hearing a soft voice in the she gets up and heads out of the room into the hall, smiling as she saw Tas holding Ma "Well hello there you two"

[Tasite]

Hearing Bri, Tas smiles at her. "Hello to you too my dear... How are you feeling honey. Were you able to sleep any. Sorry for not being there for you dear, but your little cousin wanted to make his entrance into the world." Tas smiles at Ma then looks back at Bri. "I can help now is there anything I can do for you... I didn't Know Roh that well but I do know he love you and the kids. He will be missed buy everyone that knew him."

[Tasite]

Tasite was feeding her son when there was a knock at the door..

"Come in"

When Martha enter the room smiling. M'Lady you have receive a letter from home.

"Thank you Martha"

Opening is she see it good new Ten had a girl. Looking down at her son she begins to smile with joy.. "Ma it a girl" she giggles knowing he doesn't understand a word she says. Stand as Martha reaches for the baby. Smiles as Martha take him to his crib.....Tas moves to the desk looking for parchment to write a letter and send the gifts she had made for the baby and something for her little friend Zak. While she was writing the letter there was another knock at the door... looking over at Martha she giggles well I know it can't be you.

"Come in"

Ingrid walk in and handed her another letter.

"Thank you very much" she says as she smiles.

Reading this letter made her mood sank as she slumps in the big chair behind her. It was sad new this time.. Along with her joy she had to deal with the death of her husband Danetaff.

Tas couldn't believe it. "Poor Ten" she said loudly

Tas knew that Ten was a very strong young woman but she also knew that she would would need her family and friends for strength in this time of great joy and sorrow.

"Martha can you find someone to deliver this letter and gifts to them for me."

"Yes M'lady" then she leaves the room

[Tasite]

A little pigeon, tired from his long flight from Reading, lands in Tasite's window. He gives a little chirp to let her know he is there and drops the note on her windowsill. Glancing around for some seeds as a reward, he does a little dance while he waits for her to pay attention to him.

Dearest Tasite,

Thank you so much for your kind wishes. Miaka and I are both doing well. She has her father's eyes and his quiet nature, but luckily my nose and mouth!

I hope to see you soon so that Miaka and Marius may meet. Hmmm, do you prefer Ma Chao or Marius? They're both lovely names...

I pray that everything is well with you and Elson and that Penrith has become a good home to you. I promise to write you more often my dear friend.

Love always,

Tenshi

[Tasite]

Sitting on the edge of her bed when she heard something behind her. Turn she see a pigeon at the window with a note. "Awww aren't you cute"she said as she watches the pigeon do a little dance. Giggling "Ok, ok here you go" as she give him some seeds for a reward.."Now let me see the note you brought me"

Tas smiles as she reads the note from Tenshi....Looking up she started giggling as the pigeon flew away. Well I guess sending her a message back will be different...

Hearing Marius crying Tas turn and heads for his bed. "Ok little one"she says as she pick him up. "Let go find your dad and have a walk around the grounds. Time for us to have some fresh air. Looking at him very tenderly she kisses his cheek. "I love you my little man"

[Tasite]

Sitting down for a bit after chasing the kids and watching them play with Marius. Tas decides to pen a letter to Bri. Laughing very hard as she pens the letter.

Oops there goes Martha and Ingrid looking for the kids again.

Well I better ok save their sanity for now.

Handing the letter to the courier with his pay. "Get this to Princess Brianna in Lewes". Thank you she saids as she watches the courier leave. Then Tas hurry to save the two women from the kids again.

[Tasite]

The messenger rides back to Grey stoke bringing word from the princess ..
