Take a deep breath... breathe... just breathe...

I don't enjoy anything more than the time I get to watch Gabriel interact with Orion. He is such a wonderful father and he is always so happy with his son. they play and wrestle some. Now that Orion is more mobile Gabriel is able to have even more fun with him with the games they play.

Yes, my life is complete. I feel safe and protected in Gabriel's arms. But most importantly, I feel extreme love in him. My life is perfect...

Word has filled this home... Gabriel is dead. Zahara has been released from her blood vow, and he is gone... I know I shouldn't be- but I am greatly saddened by this. Though I don't know if I am saddned because it is just a death, o if I still had some great love for him I had kept buried in an attempt to protect what was left of my heart from him... Guess I will never know.

besides... what was felt for him no longer matters now...

Ori and I have officially gotten married. It was a nice little ceremony that I greatly enjoyed. He was so sweet through the whole thing. Orion even showed up. He has been so good through this whole thing. He really has accepted Ori better than I thought. He can be so much like his father sometimes it's scary, but he has really surprised me.

The only person who didn't know was Raven... We were unable to find her before the wedding. We agreed after that we would find her. The reception was nice and small. relaxing actually. and the night... we... it wouldn't be fair for me to reveal everything now would it? lol

Anyway- the next morning, we got ready and made our way to Adrian's palace.

And there, we were met with terrible news.

An accident had happened. My baby girl was terribly hurt. Something about an injury to her eyes, but the guy wouldn't tell me exaclty what. When we reached Raven's room we found her cradled by Adrian... he was holding her so.. so softly, gently, almost like a man saying goodbye to his wounded lover... I could smell the fear emanating form him. And Raven...

there was a cloth wrapped around her head, hiing her eyes from view. Adrian never really told us what happened either... only that she was going to be able to choose teh color eyes she wanted...

Change the color of her eyes? I don't understand. I've always loved those golden eyes on her. They seemed to shine with her light. But she said she could no longer stand to see them. They reminded her too much of her father.

I hadn't realized she was still being affected by his words and his choice. She loved him so much... So very much...

Ori spoke to her. Promised her he would be her father and always be there for her. She asked him a few questions. I could sense her thinking. She was plotting something. the next thing I knew she told Adrian that she had made her choice and whispered it to him. He spoke a chant and after a little while the cloth was removed.

It took her a little while to open her yes, but when she did...

She had Ori's eyes...

She has shown him the ultimate acceptance in him as her new father. I am not exactly sure what he thinks, but I was impressed...

If for some ungodly reason Gabriel wakes and returns... he will never recongize his daughter when he sees her. She has grown up and matured. Her hair isn't as dark as it used to be, her body has... "filled out" into a more womanly look, and her eyes are no longer gold... No .. he would never know she was his daughter.

Ori and I noticed though... The way Adrian held her, looked at her, cared and doted over her... I think we are both wondering just how close they are. He has been taken care of her in Gabriel's absence, but she was with Legato. Is there really something between Adrian and my daughter?

if there is, just how much of a something is there? how deep does it go...?
