mother.
    Morna and Luca do their best to comfort her but she interrupts them; “Mom, listen to me.  As soon as you resolved in your heart to do what you could to protect me, this vision came to me.  Now that you are wavering from that resolve, the vision is fading.  My visions depend on the decisions people make.  We all need to make these decisions together, Mom.  Get Sammy to help me watch the future and then we can make our decisions, guided by what we see.”  Nora says logically.  Morna is amazed at how mature her little seven year old daughter has become.
    Aideen, who had been sitting silently listening to all this finally speaks up, “Mom, she is right.  You shouldn’t be trying to solve everything for everyone by yourself.  You have a lot of smart and talented people who want to help you.  These same people have a lot at stake, possibly our very lives and futures.”
    “I agree, Ladybug,” says Morna softly.  “I think we all need to meet first thing tomorrow and make plans.  We should be utilizing all the talents we have available to us to combat the threats against us.  We need to make sure that everyone is protected and yet contributing to resolving this threat.  When we get to Airendell I will push the Guild to give me their decision so that I can focus on protecting my family, friends and my Guild.” 
    Morna smiles and says, “But first, we have a wedding and a massive celebration ahead of us.”  Morna hugs and kisses her youngest daughter.  Luca takes Nora out of her mother’s arms and hugs and kisses her as well.  Morna turns her attention to her oldest daughter and holds her arms out to her.  Aideen comes to her mother and the women embrace for several silent moments.
    “Mom, Nora, Aunt Breena and I have been working on a surprise for you.  You should go eat, bathe, whatever you need to do and we will join you in an hour with our surprise,” Aideen tells Morna.  Nora giggles and nods happily.  Morna smiles tentatively at her girls and wonders what they are up to. 
    Luca takes her hand and leads her back to their suite.  Once they are inside he asks, “Are you finished eating?”  When she nods, he picks her up and carries her into the bathroom.  He sets her down gently on her feet and kisses her tenderly, lingeringly before turning to the tub to start running a hot bath for her.
    “You know what the girls are up to, don’t you?”  Morna says suspiciously.
    “I do.  Don’t worry, it is a good thing.” Luca assures her.  “Now let us get you undressed and in the tub.”  He reaches out and gently strokes her face and then trails his hand down her neck.  He smiles as he leans in to kiss her, and gently peels the bloodstained blazer from her body.  He gently removes the amber colored blouse and says, “I should have gotten you out of these clothes hours ago.” 
    Morna moans her agreement as he cups her breasts through her bra.  Luca leans down and kisses the almost imperceptible scar where the witch’s dagger pierced her flesh.  “I was very angry with you for allowing her to stab you.”
    Morna stiffens and moves out of his reach.  “I don’t want to talk about that right now.”
    “Why not?” Luca insists.
    “Because I wanted to drain that witch’s body of every single drop of blood.  I nearly fed on her.”  Morna confesses in a tortured whisper.
    “Well, of course you did.  But you chose to control yourself.  It is what we do.  We do not let biology rule our actions.  You were magnificent, baby!”  Luca breathes as he kisses her gently between the valley of her breasts.  He reaches up and unfastens the chain bearing Odin’s pendant above her glorious breasts and lies it on the bathroom counter.  He unhooks her bra and slowly slides it down her arms, and tosses it behind him.  He takes her loosely into his arms and caresses her back as she starts to undo the buttons of his shirt. 
    She sighs happily when she peels the shirt off of
