what do you want-Wessex the 9th century

Aviana:(*looked at Sihtric*)"What are you doing here? Are you lost?...(*Sihtric shook his head*)...then you know where the exit is!"
Sihtric:"Do we really have to sort this out before Steapa?...(*Aviana lowered her head*)...is that your way of sorting things out?!"
Aviana:(*took a deep breath*)"Steapa?...(*Steapa looked at her*)...would you leave us alone? I will call you as soon as I need you!"
Steapa:"Of course, Your Grace!...(*Aviana smiled at him*)...don't get yourself in any deeper, Sihtric!"
Sihtric:(*watched as Steapa disappeared*)"Why are you ignoring me?...(*Aviana laughed maliciously*)...our daughter doesn't know why her parents are behaving so stupidly! Can we at least pretend for her that everything is fine?!"
Aviana:"If everything was fine, I wouldn't be so damn angry with you!...(*Sihtric lowered his head*)...I won't deny that I have been an angel for the last almost 24 hours, but you have made the bigger mess of it!"
Sihtric:(*laughed maliciously*)"So it is my fault?...(*Aviana shook her head*)...then why don't you fucking talk to me?!"
Aviana:"Don't shout at me!...(*Sihtric took a step back*)...and now get the hell out of my throne room! GET OUT!"
~~~~~~~
Sihtric left the throne room with teary eyes! All he heard after he closed the door was a heart-rending scream from his wife! Steapa immediately rushed into the throne room and caught Aviana...she broke down with tears streaming down her face! Sihtric walked towards an ale house...Uhtred, Finan, Osferth, Gisela and Eadith were already waiting for him! His eyes were red and when he sat down, he immediately put his face in his hands and let the tears run free! Gisela and Eadith rubbed his back, whilst Finan and Uhtred tried to find out what had happened!
~~~~~~~
Uhtred:"What happened?...(*Sihtric sobbed*)...did you have a fight with Ana?"
Sihtric:(*nodded*)"More likely a war made of words!...(*he lifted his head*)...I fucked up last night!"
Finan:"How far did you fuck up?...(*Sihtric scratched his head*)...that is not good at all my friend!"
Sihtric:(*sighed*)"She wanted to talk and we did...(*Uhtred looked at Finan*)...but then it degenerated and we shouted at each other and I left her alone in the end..."
Eadith:"Did anything happen on her part before you left?...(*Sihtric nodded*)...and what was that?"
Sihtric:(*took a deep breath*)"She kissed me and I didn't kiss her back!...(*everyone went quiet*)...and then I left..."
Osferth:"You have a big problem!...(*everyone nodded*)...have fun making it up!"
Sihtric:(*looked at him*)"And what is the best way to do that?...(*Uhtred cleared his throat*)...does anyone have any tips?"
Uhtred:"Buy her flowers, give her a house!...(*Sihtric rolled his eyes*)...you are aware that your wife is pregnant and that her hormones are going crazy? She is sensitive from the ground up, you can't blame her and your action didn't make it any better!"
~~~~~~~
Sihtric put his face back in his hands and sighed! Eadith and Gisela excused themselves and disappeared! Meanwhile: Steapa calmed Aviana down and took care of her! Gisela and Eadith appeared moments later and entered the throne room! Steapa looked at them before standing up and leaving! Eadith stroked Aviana's head and Gisela rubbed her back...she stopped crying and stared stubbornly straight ahead! Her eyes were red and emotionless! Gisela looked at Eadith before looking back at Aviana! After a while, Aviana took Gisela's hand and squeezed it...then she smiled at Gisela and stood up! Eadith gave her a confused look, before watching her leave! Gisela and Eadith immediately followed her, but she disappeared into her chambers! Uhtred, Finan, Osferth and Sihtric soon appeared behind the two women and gave them confused looks! Eadith then explained, what happened and Sihtric's face grew pale! In the evening, everyone went to their chambers...only Sihtric didn't quite know which one to enter! Samarthia slept in Hild's house...she was fine! Sihtric unceremoniously entered Aviana's and his chambers!
~~~~~~~
Aviana:(*looked at him*)"Don't you like your new chambers?...(*Sihtric remained silent*)...has your mouth grown shut?"
Sihtric:"How long are you going to keep this up?...(*Aviana sat herself up*)...I'm tired of being mad at you!"
Aviana:(*took a deep breath*)"Unfortunately, I'm not done being angry with you yet!...(*Sihtric swallowed*)...also, I'm surprised you don't have as many words to throw at me as you did last night!"
Sihtric:"I told you everything I wanted to say last night!...(*he sighed*)...now I just want to take you in my arms and kiss your forehead!"
Aviana:(*thought briefly*)"You may sleep here but only under a condition!...(*Sihtric listened closely*)...you are not to touch me or kiss me, is that clear?"
Sihtric:"Nothing has ever been clearer to me!...(*Aviana smiled proudly*)...good night, Ana!"
Aviana:(*turned around and smiled*)"Good night, baby!...(*his eyes widened*)...sleep well!"
~~~~~~~
They soon fell asleep and were awakened by loud noises! Aviana rolled her eyes and looked at Sihtric...he was sleepy and annoyed! They stood up, got dressed and opened their door...only to see Steapa training new guards and shooing them through the corridor leading to the chambers for practice! Steapa widely smiled at Aviana before disappearing! Aviana again rolled her eyes and closed the door...then she looked at Sihtric! The first time, she had a normal expression on her face! Sihtric wanted to say something, but she cut him off! She wished him a good morning and told him to be ready in 5 minutes! After these 5 minutes, they went to the lake...to wash themselves!
~~~~~~~
Aviana:"Did you sleep well?...(*Sihtric nodded*)...wonderful! The child you put in my stomach will be the death of me!"
Sihtric:(*laughed*)"Is it that bad?...(*Aviana nodded*)...and now you probably want to tell me that after this child is born, you don't want any more, right?"
Aviana:"That's right! But I also know that you want to have at least 4-5 children!...(*Sihtric nodded*)...and since I cannot deny you any wish, it will continue after this child!"
Sihtric:(*shook his head*)"Not if you clearly state that you don't want any more children!...(*Aviana lifted her head*)...I will take your wishes into account, don't worry!"
Aviana:"Listen...yes this child is stressing me out and this birth won't be easy but...(*she cupped Sihtric's face in her hands*)...I love bringing your children into the world! These little creatures are everything to me and Samarthia is living proof that little Sihtric's can also exist in female form!"
Sihtric:(*smiled*)"Does this mean that my dream of 4-5 children is possible after all?...(*Aviana nodded*)...you are honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me!"
~~~~~~~
They washed themselves and then went back to the palace! Lady Ælswith and Æthelflæd crossed their way and greeted them! Edward was sitting in the throne room, waiting for Aviana! When she opened the door, he immediately jumped off his seat and walked towards her! He pressed a letter in her hand and then disappeared...she opened the letter and read it! It was an invitation from King Constantin! His nephew was to marry a daughter of an Ealdorman! She wasn't sure whether to accept the invitation or to just burn the letter! Sihtric gave her a confused look, before she gave him the letter...he read it and thought briefly! Uhtred, Finan, Osferth, Gisela and Eadith soon joined the two of them and together they decided, to attend the wedding! 4 days later: the group was on their way to Scotland and little Samarthia was riding with Sihtric! She wanted to come along and Aviana eventually gave in! When they arrived, King Constantin instantly greeted them and led them to the palace!
~~~~~~~
King Constantin:"I am very pleased that you accepted the invitation, Your Grace!...(*Aviana gave him a thankful smile*)...is this your daughter?"
Aviana:(*nodded*)"This is Samarthia!...(*Samarthia lifted her head*)...she really wanted to come and I couldn't say no!"
King Constantin:"We can always use support!...(*Aviana slightly laughed*)...the bride and groom should arrive any second!"
Sihtric:(*cleared his throat*)"I am sure you are very happy that your nephew has finally found happiness!...(*King Constantin turned his head*)...who is the lucky one?"
King Constantin:"Her name is Mildrith!...(*Aviana raised an eyebrow*)...her godfather introduced her to my nephew and they fell in love straight away!"
~~~~~~~
He laughed and Aviana turned to Uhtred! He knew, what she wanted to say and pulled her aside! King Constantin showed the rest of the group, their chambers and the rest of the palace! Uhtred and Aviana talked about the fact, that Mildrith was a girl from Wessex and Domnal the nephew of the King of Scotland! Uhtred frowned and Aviana just sighed...how could Odda allow this to happen? Not that Aviana doubts that this marriage is good for the alliance of both kingdoms...rather she doubts that Mildrith had much to say about this marriage! She hated it when her people were humiliated! Soon, Uhtred and Aviana also entered the palace and her gaze immediately met Mildrith's gaze...this girl was viably scared!
~~~~~~~
Aviana:(*tapped on Uhtred's shoulder*)"Do you see how scared Mildrith is?...(*Uhtred nodded*)...what should we do?"
Uhtred:"You certainly won't like my answer!...(*Aviana's face dropped*)...we should let Domnal marry Mildrith and get out of here in the morning!"
Aviana:(*sighed*)"Right, I don't like your answer!...(*Uhtred laughed*)...I will not leave Mildrith to that greaseball!"
Uhtred:"And I love you for that, little sister!...(*they smiled at each other*)...what's your plan?"
Aviana:(*glanced over at Sihtric*)"I need my husband for that!...(*Uhtred raised an eyebrow*)...trust me! Sihtric, come here!"
~~~~~~~
Sihtric walked over to Aviana and Uhtred gave her one last confused look! She then explained her plan quickly and Uhtred smirked! Sihtric rolled his eyes before he eventually gave in! Finan, Eadith, Gisela and Samarthia were standing near a large pillar and Uhtred joined them! Finan gave Uhtred a confused look before he explained Aviana's plan to them! Aviana wanted to make Domnal jealous and Uhtred would then free Mildrith from his grip! Sihtric didn't like the idea, being used for such a stupid plan but he trusted his wife...
~~~~~~~
Domnal:"I didn't think you'd come!...(*Aviana looked at him*)...and why on earth is Sihtric Kjartansson with you?!"
Mildrith:(*smiled at Aviana and Sihtric*)"Dear, he is probably just her companion!...(*Domnal gave Sihtric a sneaky look*)...let's dance and then when it is time, go to our worship service!"
Aviana:"You'd better listen to your future wife!...(*Aviana then wrapped her arms around Sihtric's shoulders*)...I for one am enjoying the dance with Sihtric!"
Sihtric:(*kissed her forehead*)"I enjoy the dance as well!...(*Domnal gave him an angry look*)...why are you giving me the evil eye now?"
Domnal:"Because you are dancing with the woman I have admired all my life!...(*Mildrith got sad*)...I just don't understand why Sihtric Kjartansson, of all people, gets a dance with you?!"
Aviana:(*looked at Domnal*)"Because he is hot?...(*Sihtric smirked and placed one hand on her arse*)...looks like he has more privileges than you!"
Sihtric:"And I will probably have them forever!...(*Domnal pushed Mildrith away*)...now I have made it angry!"
~~~~~~~
Domnal clenched his fists and punched Sihtric in the face! Uhtred and Finan brought Mildrith to safety, whilst Aviana was proud of her work! Osferth and Gisela took care of Mildrith, whilst Uhtred eventually helped Sihtric! Sihtric pushed Domnal away and broke his nose! Aviana walked over to Gisela and Eadith and gently rubbed Mildrith's back...she eventually placed her head on Aviana's shoulder! Uhtred and Sihtric finished Domnal off, before they walked over to the rest of their group! Sihtric looked at Aviana and gave her an approving nod! She then fetched some of her guards and told them, to bring Mildrith back to Winchester! They nodded and soon disappeared...Mildrith gave Aviana a thankful smile! Domnal soon was back on his feet and searched for revenge! Sihtric and Aviana agreed to begin round 2...
