“Why he go fight I
not?”
“Because Cyanne, he’s a boy, and the knights don’t train girls, maybe
sometime, once your older we ca see about Ursa training you,.
That is if you can keep yourself from flooring your brother. That’s the only
way that’s going to happen. Besides he's not going until the summer
so don't worry about it now."
“No Fair!”
“Cyanne,
please go somewhere and play for a bit before you get yourself into some
trouble.” the little girl sighed as she slowly walked off.
“Up
Mamma up!” Turning to Chyanne I spoke,
“Up
what?”
“Up please” She
replied raising her hands to me.
“That’s better.” I
told her as I lifted her into my arms. I had to laugh,
she was covered head to toe with paints.
“Did you make
something wonderful with the paints? She nodded and laid her head on my shoulder as she
drifted into sleep. The cubs are a handful sometimes, and the days sometimes
don’t seem to end but at times like this I wouldn’t trade any of it for
anything in the world. I Just love it like you
wouldn’t believe. I looked to my daughter before carrying her to her room. As I
did I could hear shouting down the hall, laying Chyanne
into her bed I headed to see what was going on.
“Skyla, Shanda, and
Darlita what is going on here?”
“These Brats,…”
“Hold on one minute Darlita,
you are not to refer your sisters as ‘Brats’ start over and tell me correctly.”
“Those two came in
here when I had left the room and took this out of here! She said holding up
her journal. I sighed as I turned to the two little girls that stared back at
me looking sheepish. I knelt to there level and looked them in the eye.
“Do you not know
better then to go into someone's room without permission?” The two shook there
heads, “And are you suppose to take things that doesn’t belong to you without
asking?”
“No Mamma” both
girls answered in unison.
“Now I believe you
have something to say to Darcy now don’t you.” Both stood quietly for a moment.
Not wanting to put up with this I grabbed both girls and pulled them into their
rooms, and told them each to stay in the corner. That I would come back and get
them when time was up. Shanda nodded with the tears rolling down her cheeks,
“Nock it off Shanda Kiri that’s not going to work. Now turn around. I’ll be
back.” I told her as I heard Sukura’s cry. Once she
was fed and sleeping again. I headed out to see what was going on with the
other children. I had to laugh as I watched Timmy and Elliot in Timmy’s
personal room he had turned it into a gym so that he could train while he was
here and not with Buddi and Ursa. The two were attempting to spar with each
other, knowing they weren’t trying to hurt each other I let it go and just
watched although I reminded the boys to both be careful. They were truly loving
it. I could see it that’s for sure and knew that I had made the right choose by
letting both of them do this. I though back to what Elliot had told me the
night before.
“Mamma, I want to be
like the knights, but I want to come back here after and be a knight
here!” I wasn’t sure how that would be
possible, but I held him close, and told him.
“You can be what
ever you want to be, Elliot.” He grinned as he buried his head into my lap and
fell asleep.
