Sara and Blaise:  Third Times the Charm

                                       

Tapping the camera Blaise had on the table in front of me, I asked, "Is this thing on?" Watching him nod, ""Ok, here we go then!" I smiled.

"Insanity is a way of life.  Or at least it seems to be in my world. I swear, I have trouble magnet somewhere on my body," hearing Reg clear his throat beside me, I flipped him off, "Shut up Reg, no one wants to know where you think it is.  These people wanna hear about me, not your sick little mind!  Get your own World for that!"

With a roll of my eyes I continued, "Anyway, I was raised, if you can call it that, by my mother, if you can call her that...Merlin knows she wishes I wouldn't.  We lived above the bar she served at until I was old enough for her to send me to a year round magical boarding school in the states, her goal to have me surrounded by purebloods, but no where near her.  It worked out ok, I came home for Holidays and she had more than enough time to pinpoint all the things she didn't like about me and to instill a deep distrust of men in general.  Have I mentioned that my mother is lovely?"  I shook my head and laughed.  "Imagine my surprise when I came home for the holidays shortly after turning 13 to find my mother engaged to weathly Tycoon Alexander King.  They were married quickly, my step father a nightmare we can get into some other day.  For now, let's leave it at I was very glad to go back to school, now with my very own reasons to hate and distrust men.  I spent some wild child years at school, finding multiple ways to cause trouble without ever actually getting in any, returning home for the last time when I was 16, showing my darling step-father one of the many hexes I'd mastered for the male genitale.  Sometimes you really gotta love the dark arts.  Needless to say, I was allowed to spend my Holidays elsewhere after that."

"You know, I don't think you ever told me that's why you learned them..." Reg interrupted.

"Another story for another day..." I reminded him with a tight smile. 

"OK, ok...go on."

"Thanks for the permission," I said with a sigh, "Within weeks of my 17 birthday, I received an emergency patronus telling me my mother and step father were dead.  I was really and truly alone, my father someone I was told would want nothing to do with me, my mother, the only family I had, gone." I shrugged, "I moved back to England, taking up a steady residence here for the first time since I was 5 years old, buying my own place with the fortune I inherited as the only living heir to the King fortune.  The joy I derived from selling away every piece of the dynasty that man spent his whole life building is another story we won't get into," I couldn't help smiling at the memory. "For the next 2 years, I perfected my skills of complete self reliance, building up defenses I would have thought were in-penetrable." I nudged Reg beside me, "Then, one day while I was sitting at a small table in a little cafe, a handsome stranger slid into the chair across from me and changed my life forever."

"That'd be me," he said with a smile to the camera.

Laughing, I nodded in agreement, "It would be.  You remember that line?"

"You look like my first wife" he began and we finished it together laughing, "and i've never been married before."

Shaking my head, "You so stole that from a song..."

"They stole it from me." he replied with wink.

"Whatever." I pulled my attention back to the camera, "We ended up spending the day together, talking, just hanging out.  He made me laugh like I didn't even know was possible.  We were inseparable for the next few days.."

:"And nights!" Reg interrupted.

"That you spent on my couch!" I agreed with a laugh, "But yes, eventually, Sara King the consummate tease gave in for the first time ever."

He grinned, "I melted the ice princess."

"Shut up" I glared his way continuing, "I was in love, for the first time in my life, and someone actually loved me back.  I finally had more than just me.  He gave me a reason to laugh, to smile, somewhere to belong and in return, I made him my world.  When I found out about his drunken one night stand with Pansy, I was crushed,  It killed me.  I didn't even know something could hurt that bad.  It took alot of persuasion and persistence to convince me to not only give him another chance, but to agree to be his wife.  I did, we eloped, and we lived a year of wedded bliss before moving to Great Hallow."

"It was a good year." he smiled. "Lots of laughs."

"It was " I agreed, "And then we moved here." I laughed, "And it was all down hill."

"After the vacation."

"Oh yes, the vacation to end all vacations.  We came back with a souvenir," I nodded to a picture of my Brailee, "And a marriage on the verge of falling apart.  I was changing, finding out I was pregnant made me choose what kind of mother I wanted to be, a bitter one or a loving one.  I had experienced the first, I decided to be the second.  It made things hard, I wasn't the woman he married and he couldn't deal with that.."

"But Flint could" he injected.

"Yes, yes he could" I responded, sticking out my tongue, "He was a good friend, only a good friend, until you said you couldn't love me and our marriage was dissolved."

"For like 5 mintues,"

"Shut up, do you need to go home?"  I laughed again, "It was dissolved that's all that matters.  Anyway, Reg came crawling back when the sun came up, which lead to a fun talk in my kitchen, a drunken cook-out, and a surprise.  My life hung in the balance do to unforeseen complications.  Reg stayed by the bed every moment until he was sure I would be fine, at which point he asked me to be his wife once more.  He set everything up and we got married in the my hospital room."

"Yeah that was smooth." Reg threw out.

"It was, all the way up till it killed me!"

"That was not my fault!"  He exclaimed. "And I did find someone to save your life!"

"Yes, you did" I grinned, "Thanks for that by the way."

"Anytime" he laughed.

"So, after that, we went home, married once more, and opened up our own adult toy store, The Nightstand.  6 months into marriage number two, I found my husband wrapped around one of our employee's on the stockroom floor."

"OK, yes, you did, but you wanted to be with Marcus anyway!"

Ignoring him, I pushed on, "3 1/2 years after meeting him, we were done for good this time, our second marriage dissolved, but we stayed friends."

"Best friends," he said.

"You know it" I nudged him once more, grinning at Blaise, "Your my best friend right after Blaise."

"Does that mean Marcus is on the bottom?"

"Yes," I giggled, "You are the mean in a Marcus and Blaise sandwich."

"See, that's just wrong" Reg began with a laugh, "Tell them about you and Marcus."

"Me and Marcus...we were friends that dated...kinda...but not really...ummmm....and now we're friends again.  That pretty much sums up me and Marcus" I said with a laugh, "His wife is hot" looking to Blaise, "Shh...do not agree."

Reg piped up, "Can  I agree?"

"Sure...go on over and tell Marcus you think his wife is hot" I laughed, knowing how that would end.  "Peni is a great friend and a wonderful God-mother.  He couldn't have chosen better." I smiled.

"So, life continued, Reg was my loser ex-husband"

"HEY!" he exclaimed.

"Shut up." I said once more, "Marcus was getting married and expecting kids, and I met Sebastian, a nice distraction that was meant to be my boy on the side, but when he couldn't play by the rules I had to toss him aside," I grinned at Blaise, grabbing his hands and tugging him over, "That's where you came in"

Blaise moved into the screen with a smile and a wave, pulling me into his lap and pushing Reg out of the way, laughing as he fell over.  "Hey!" Reg exclaimed with a grin, "Is this your way of saying you don't want me?"

"The stories not about you anymore. It's about me now, and my Oni-temi." Blaise answered giving me a kiss.

"Me and you forever and ever, aiya-mi." I told him with a smile.

"And me, and Marcus...and Peni...and Jalil...and the kids...and Morowa...and Maranda...and Ewan...and Ab...and Albus....I mean, what would your story be without us?" Reg asked as he pulled himself from the floor.

"Just background to the main characters. All extras," he pointed between us, "being the staring roles."

"I was thinking it would be much quieter," I grinned, my hands making a chattering motion, "Gawd knows Reg never shuts up, no matter how many times you tell him too." I waved my hand to shoo him out, "Go home, Go home go home" I repeated until he stopped arguing, laughing as he left.

"Blaise had a love life of his own, that he never wants to talk about, but I have decided to tell you about anyway!"  I said with a laugh,

"I think they're good. I've been married twice. I have two kids besides ours. And we're getting married very soon." he shrugged, "That's all there is to tell."

Rolling my eyes, "There's a little more to it than that."

"Nope. Not really. That's about it." he said with a big smile and a kiss on my cheek.

Seriously..these guys...shaking my head, I pretended I hadn't heard him, "Blaise's first wife was his school obsession, and when he finally obtained her, he was stupid enough to marry her without stopping to think first." 

He chuckled, rubbing his head, "I thought for a minute.  I got her.  I won..."

"And your prize was 5 years of being drugged...only to finally discover all this when you saw her on her knee's with her ex-boyfriend!"  I reminded him.

"You summed it up very nicely. Thank you. Let's immortalize forever the moment."

Laughing at how cute he was, I told him, "Everyone wants to know what makes you tick gorgeous!" I kissed his cheek, "Now, onto wife number two, Peni.  And yes, that is the same Peni that is now with my good friend Marcus." watching as he rubbed his face, "Blaise and Peni had been friends for awhile, Peni was friends with Annie, and Blaise turned to her when their marriage fell apart, not knowing he was actually Peni's imprinted. Peni was Blaise's rainbow" I said with a roll of my eyes, "She gave his world color" I laughed, knowing it was true, "He fell in love with her, in-spite of the fact that she was married to someone else.  When her own marriage came crumbling down, Blaise was there to pick up the pieces, already loving her and her kids as if they were his own.  When he found out later that Deni, her oldest, actually was, it was just the cherry on the icing on his cake.  Bonded, forming an unbreakable vow, and with her imprinted, they were set to have the kind of life most people dream of, tied together in ways few people can understand, completely in love and with a second child on the way.  Blaise pushed past his own personal issue's to do what was needed to help Peni find a stability within herself." I glanced at him, seeing his eyes fixed on the ceiling and I laughed, if either of us should be uncomfortable with this story, it should be me, "The day came and Bliss was born, while Blaise stood ever helpful at Peni's side, and their world was complete surrounded by friends, family and love. At least for that day" I took a deep breath, continuing, "But what is it they say about being most aware at times when your the happiest?" I shook my head, "Peni and Blaise found that out the hard way, the life they planned together interrupted when the past came back to bite him in the a---butt.  His mother was in danger, and despite all Peni's words and warning, Blaise decided he could save her by himself...I mean who needs a whole pack for help when they can instead depend on their half wit of a brother" I raised my brow in his direction.

Hearing him groan, I knew he wasn't jumping in to help me continue, so, I pushed ahead, "After telling his wife, sorry now ex-wife, and beloved to have sex with other people, and go ahead and get pregnant, Blaise left on his little adventure, somehow fooling himself into believing that things would be the same when he came home..."

"It was more complicated than that?" he said with a smile.

"Do you want to tell this story?" I asked with a smirk,

"No. I'm good.  Continue.." he said laughing.

"Alrighty then, back to way sane people viewed this, Peni fell in love with Marcus, Blaise fell into several skanky chicks, and yet somehow, he still felt the right to be outraged when he came home to Peni pregnant with  quads, she is a dog after all..."

"You know this tape isn't going to see the light of day, right?" he interrupted once more.

"What are you talking about?" I teased, "I'm planning a viewing party...dude she feeds in wolf form, she can't hate on my calling her a dog...You call Jalil a dog all the time..." watching him rub his head once more and shutting up.  I loved how I didn't have to tell him.

Laughing, I kept on going, "And engaged to Marcus.  He tried to stake his claim, shooting daggers at Marcus even after Marcus was one of the ones that helped save his a--but.  Anyway though, it didn't work, Peni ripped him a new one, and he ended up at the bar, where I come into the story!"

"Finally the good part" he said, making me smile as I leaned into him more.

"So, see, this is where he got me drunk and tried to take advantage of me." I said, smiling innocently at the camera.

"Wait... wait... that is not how that happened at all."   he said laughing, "No strings was your idea."

Glaring I said, "I don't know what your talking about....and I thought I was telling the story!"

"Tell it right. It's more romantic that way." he commanded with a smile.

Laughing I asked, "So you want me to add in the closet thing too?"

"If we're telling the whole story...we might as well..." I rolled my eyes, there were some things that needed to remain between friends.

"Ok, ok, so we mutually decided to start off in a more...ummm....unconventional relationship." I laughed, thinking that was a very nice way to phrase it, "But our game plan of staying feelings free didn't last long.  See, Blaise, he wasn't following the rules either, coming over looking for company and friendship, " I said with a grin, "More than just a good time."

"I'll take the blame. How can a man resist such wonderful company." he said with a smile.

"Yes, well, not resisting me at that point was what he was doing between baiting Marcus with my panties and jewelry he said was his ex-wife's, dogging me at bars with Reg, and panting after Peni."  I reminded him with a shake of my head.

"Come on!  That's just skewed!" he exclaimed.

I reminded, "It's not skewed...it's what happened...what did you call it...Panty gate?"

"Your mixing up fact. We fell in love and created a life together. The end."

"You said to tell the whole story!"

"The important parts." he explained.

"The closet was an important part?" I asked.

"The closet was. Pantygate, no so much." 

All in the eyes of the beholder,I thought with a shake of my head.  "So, he got over himself enough to ask me to help him plan a Disney trip for the kids...no wait, I'm telling it right...he started talking about how no fun he was and complaining that Disney was for muggles, and in a fit of sympathy for the kids, I volunteered my services as a travel agent so they wouldn't end up at some lame magical museum." I grinned.

"I love you, Sara. You saved me from myself." he teased.

"That's when he asked me...no wait, assumed I was coming with him, but I'm a pushover so I went along with it," I turned placing a soft kiss on his lips, "Best decision I ever made."

"Do you love me? Cause it doesn't sound like it." he asked with a pout.

Laughing, I kissed his cheek, "No pouting, we haven't gotten to that part yet.  So, while in Florida, we went from friends with benefits to actual strings...I think they got tied somewhere around the time I ended up in Vampsteamy's lap," I said with a wink as he shook his head. "The next morning I asked him to be my boyfriend."

He pulled me closer, "Now we get to the good stuff."

"He said yes, we watched his ex-wife marry my ex-whatever Marcus was, while I played the part of the best man. We came home together with his son, Deni, and his daughter Bliss, while Peni and Marcus went on their honeymoon.  Within a few days he said he loved me..."

He smiled, "Because I do,"

I kissed him with a giggle, "And I L word you, right gorgeous?" the memory of how hard getting those words out the first time made us both laugh.  "I found out we were having babies, we dealt with the whole thing where I might die, and somewhere in the midst of that, I realized that I loved him too...or not that I realized, but that I could say it."  I turned in his lap to look into those warm brown eyes, "I love you."

His eyes softened as he said low and serious,  "I love you too sweetheart. Now stop looking at me like that till after the wedding." his chuckle reminding me of my current vow.

Taking a breath, I continued, "We fought it out with Reg, dealt with possibly the worst moment of my life...and he was always there.  He was my hero...my Prince Charming...and am I being sappy enough yet?" I asked with a laugh,  "Um, he asked me to marry him, not once but twice, the first time being wildly spontaneous and quite literally sweeping me off my feet, the second time being so incredibly romantic it made me melt," I leaned forward, whispering to the camera as I held up the rock on my hand, "The gigantic ring didn't hurt."  his loud laugh told me he'd overheard, "We had our babies...well, I laid on a bed holding onto a ....um....stress reliever while Blaise delivered them because our doctor was...gorgeous, what's a nice way to say wasted?"

"Wasted just about sums it up. With Reg. Reg got our personal physician drunk the night Sara went into labor.."

"Yeah, but the fact that we were somehow surprised by that is what amuses me." I said with a smile, "Anyway, you wouldn't trade that moment now.  You were the first person they saw when they came into the world." he smiled with a nod, "Your so talkative gorgeous, really, everyone's getting such a great idea of our lives together" I said sarcastically, "I talk, he nods and smiles." He nodded and smiled again and I used my middle finger to scratch my nose pointedly, laughing as he pulled it to his lips for a kiss.

"So, now we're counting the days until the wedding," I grinned, thinking about just how closely we were watching that calendar, "How much of that counting has to do with my new no sex until you make me your wife rule?"

He sighed, "I'd say it's split down the middle. We're very excited to start are married life together. But the idea of the honeymoon has us rushing to get there."

I  sat quietly biting my lip for a moment, "Is that it?  Did I forget anything?"

He looked at the camera with his hand lightly rubbing my thigh, "From here on out we live happy ever after, right?" smiling.

I turned in his lap, my legs moving to either side of his as I looked at him in mock horror, "You know you just jinxed us right?"

Smiling, his hands moving into my hair, he said, "No, that's just superstitious. It's all smooth sailing from here."

I leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on his jaw as I snuggled into his shoulder, "Ya know what, bring on the bad luck, the bad guys, the overly friendly girls, the crazy guys, the pack brothers, the vampires, the tons of kids, the ex's and whatever else life can throw at us." I leaned back to look in his eyes, "I can take it, as long as I have you."

Wrapping his arms around me, he whispered, "always" using his wand to turn the camera off.
