- JUST the WAY I'm NOT ;; - {enye}

[James]

How could one person be so tired? Not that he had expected the job to easy but it was exhausting. He had always been fit, or assumed he was, but not it seemed to be wearing down on him terribly. Ever since the war and River’s death the shifters had fallen apart; James having to slowly pick up the pieces. The whole shifter village had been redone and it was finally done. He had been over seeing it for the past few months helping out when other duties weren’t nagging at him. Although he did feel guilty about leaving Enye and the twins here alone; it seemed to happen a lot recently. But thankfully most of the larger projects were completed and now less important ones remained. This would give him far more time with his family; something he desperately wanted.

James rolled over groaning slightly when sleep seemed to be slipping away. Enye was out of the bed meaning she was probably in the kitchen or in the living room. Those were the normal places to find her in the mornings although a rather, tempting, scent seemed to lingering in her spot in the bed. She was in heat…again. Dammit. It seemed very often; or far more since they had met. It wasn’t that he wasn’t attracted to her, quite the opposite, which tended to be the problem. It smelled quite strongly too. How wonderful. James pulled the blanket over his head and laid under there for a few moments before he finally drug himself out of bed grumbling while rubbing his eyes.

He walked down the hall first going into the bathroom and splashing some cold water onto his face hoping to wake himself up some. James hadn’t really even said hello to Enye or the boy in the past few days. He normally arrived home long after they were in bed and left before they were up. He truly did feel guilty but this wasn’t a job he could just up and quit. He was tempted to just curl back up in bed and sleep for the rest of the day but he didn’t seem to be able to. His mind was so busy!

James walked into the kitchen feeling sleepy that he was tempted to grab coffee or something with caffeine possibly depending on what was easiest. It also seemed to be where Enye was. He yawned and stretched listening to his back crack when he did so before he walked over to her and kissed her passionately. He had missed her terribly since he had been gone. If he didn’t trust her as much as he did he would have said she would have moved onto someone else. But he doubted the woman would do that really.

It had been three years since they had first met. Or he first rescued her. Although he had heard that vampire had died almost two years ago; good riddance. The twins still hadn’t shifted for the first time; or as far as he had known. It wasn’t strange for shifters to shift for the first time at any time in their third year. He had shifted only a few days before his fourth birthday from what his family said. Though they had been less then pleased about his color. Something his brothers tended to tease him about. But he hadn’t seen them in almost three years. He hadn’t said one word about Enye or the twins when his mother called every few months. He had little want to see them much less for them to show up. Another reason he never said where he lived. Not that they wouldn’t like to know, or wouldn’t like Enye, but he hardly wanted them in his life anymore.

James continued to kiss her, wrapping his arms around her waist to pull her to him, planting kisses across her shoulder softly. ”I missed you”

[Enye]

Enye really didn't know what to do anymore. Her mate was busy with whatever it was in the village, number of shifters were getting low. So very low. It ached her that there were so few. It made her want to have more babies. That might be a reason why she seemed to be in heat a lot that and everything was perfect to have babies. The boy were playing in their room. It would be any day now that they would shift. Any day. She couldn't quite put it on any day but they knew that their sons would each be a predator and a prey animal.

She was making toast for herself and the boys. James seemed to be very busy and sleeping still though she could make more. Suddenly she heard footsteps then James' lips were on her. Moaning softly she kissed him back, smoothing her hands around his neck. The kiss continued and it only turned her on a bit more. Pressing herself into him as he pulled her close she sighed softly. "Mmm missed you too." she smirked smoothing her hands along his face. Really did he have to spring this on her right now in the kitchen? When she was in this state of mind. She was wearing a dress, all they had to do was...

No. They couldn't have sex in the kitchen when their children were awake. Could they? "Let's have sex." she whispered heatedly against his hair. Her fingers went through the black strands and she scratched gently at his scalp. He had probably picked the worse time to spring this on her. Kissing her like that and what not. They could be real quick couldn't they? Her parents had had sex in front of people before, it was nothing for shifters to just go at one another even in a meeting. It was normal wasn't it?

[James]

Shifter numbers were of course a major concern although he wasn’t going to throw something else on Enye’s plate so he tried to talk little about what was going on. He didn’t need everyone else worrying about everything when he could worry about it himself. Which was less then pleasing on his end but he dealt with it. Mass hysteria in a village of shifters would be something truly awful. They had two elephant shifters and they alone could cause so much damage. But for now it wasn’t something he could control. Or at least the population. It wasn’t like he could order people to pair up and procreate. If it was that easy he would have done that ages ago.

James could hear the boys playing in their room with their toys and seeming to be quieter then they used to be about it. He figured they must have been sleepy still. Or maybe they had gotten quieter? He hadn’t been here so that could very well be the case.

He knew it was a bad idea to spring it on her but well he had. What ever was happening after this was going to happen. Hormones taking over and all for both of them in all likely hood. Not to mention she seemed to be in heat something awful this time. Well he liked the sound of her statement but he wasn’t about to do that in the kitchen while the kids were in their room awake. Well he doubted they would be out for a while anyway. Didn’t matter they could be quick? Couldn’t they?

He swept her up in his arms kissing her again before carrying her to their bedroom kicking the door shut then locking it. As long as the little monsters hadn’t learned how to pick locks they were fine but he honestly doubted they had. James carefully set Enye down on her feet pulling her to him again and kissing her passionately. One hand moved to her back to unzip the zipper on her dress the other moving the straps down off her shoulders to let it fall to the ground.

[Enye]

It seemed this session of sex would be rushed. Not that she minded at all. They couldn't spend every time making slow passionate love. Kissing him back she giggled as he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom. Though she thought locking the door was a little much but she didn't exactly want their sons walking in on them. A soft array of noises came from the woman as she felt the dress loosen around her body.

Her own hands working on his clothing and soon they practically naked on the bed panting what seemed like a half hour later. She had tried to remain quiet and had bitten her lip or his shoulder even to keep herself from screaming. She did remember urging him on at the very end though. "oh gosh." she swallowed hard still breathing heavily. Smirking she rolled over to face him still sweaty and kissed his stomach. "What do you want for dinner?" she was trying to get both their boys to eat opposites of what they liked. Plus it wouldn't hurt for her to have some meat now and then.

They had not exactly used a condom this time or so it seemed. Having sex during heat did not mean she would get pregnant though. It took sometimes several times a day to get pregnant. Licking her lips she sat up completely. They couldn't stay here and cuddle forever. She had to get dinner ready and the twins. She hoped they hadn't heard or if they had thought nothing of it. Most importantly she hoped that they weren't out in the kitchen.

The last thing she needed was two boys in the eggs smashing them all over the place. Pulling her hair into a pony tail she quickly went to the bathroom to wipe herself off then came in and put new clothes on. Unlocking the door she opened it to walk down the hall and see that the twins were still playing. Going to the kitchen she found nothing out of place. Good. It seemed they had been good. Regardless of James' answer she pulled out things for a salad and steak for dinner.

[James]

Having her still be in his home was wonderful. The sex was really just a bonus. Dinner really wasn’t on his mind honestly. He hadn’t been thinking much about food recently at all. Not enough time he figured. But oh well it seemed the woman was up and off before he could even answer her. James stretched and sighed laying there for a little while longer before he finally decided to get up and get ready to go eat. It would be nice to really see the boys for more then five minutes. That was all he seemed to have as of recent. Every time he spent was over in paw print village. He never got any free time recently.

James groaned getting out of bed and getting dressed and such before walking out to where everyone was in the kitchen and yawning. He kissed Enye’s cheek sitting down while she began to cook. ”Do you want help?” he asked her standing up and then walking to the fridge to grab something to drink along with something he figured she would be reaching for. He handed it over when she seemed to turn to open the fridge being careful she had a firm grip and wouldn’t drop it. He grabbed a glass from the cabinet next to the fridge and put some ice in it grabbing the ice tea they had in there. Caffeine didn’t hurt did it? Just a little?

He heard the boys come running into the kitchen; though it was hard to miss them really. They mad enough of a racket thundering across the floor like a herd of buffalo after what ever they could. James watched them jump onto the couch and start wrestling. Although it didn’t seem to fair since Aiden jumped on Andrew. But the other boy seemed to be holding up on his own well enough. But of course well enough was the key word. They were twins but that didn’t mean one wasn’t’ stronger then the other one. And it seemed Aiden was a little stronger then his brother at this point. James cringed when Andrew screamed and he walked over separating them. ”Please no yelling; your going to give daddy a head ache.” he said picking up Andrew and setting him on his feet on the floor.

Of course it was good for them to learn how to fight properly but not when they were going to tear apart the house and when they were cooking. James had noticed they liked to throw things around the house. Last thing he needed was for something to catch on fire. Or well last thing they needed. James picked Aiden up sighing and putting him on the chair and leaving Andrew on the couch turning on the tv for them. At least it distracted them for a little while. And fast too. They seemed mesmerized by the television in seconds.

James smiled a little and shook his head. Oh if only life could be that simple again. It would be more then wonderful. To forget all your worries all of a sudden like that. How nice it had to be to be a kid. He didn’t want to see his family again though. The whole childhood was far from enjoyable on his end. His older brothers liked it very much until he grew to be bigger then them. He was gone in a few years after that not wanting to stick around for them to find a new way to torment him.

[Enye]

She wasn't sure what to do with dinner and just decided on a salad with left over chicken pieces from the night before. Honestly she did not feel like cooking anything today. She just felt so..listless lately. Sighing she licked her lips and had taken a few pieces of celery from James since he seemed so happy to help. "No but thanks." she smiled over at him then went to pulling the head of lettuce apart. Of course she had washed her hands before beginning this adventure.

Enye did not like it when the boys wrestled but she knew it was necessary. Though she had broken up a few spats that had ended up with a few scrapes and what looked like bite marks. She wasn't sure how to break either of biting each other while they were wrestling. At least they did not bite randomly. Sure they had tried but she scolded them after a few time outs and swats on the butt they stopped. Though the screaming was a bit too much for her. Closing her eyes she sighed softly before setting things down and wiping off her hands. "I need a breather. I'll be outside." she said before grabbing a small clutch purse of sorts and going out the front door.

The woman walked several feet away from the house and pulled out a cigarette. She did not smoke all that often but at times things got stressful and she did not need to worry about the boys this time since James could watch them. She made sure that she was away from any windows and sat behind a tree that was facing away from the house. Sighing she placed the thing in her mouth and lit the end of it, taking a slow drag. Yes, she knew that they would make her sick and they technically did not calm her body down but she felt...more relaxed some how.

[James]

He nodded when she said no thank you and let her be. She seemed a little bit listless after everything. He was really confused frankly. She had been more then fine only a short while ago when he had walked out into the kitchen but it seemed now she was quiet. He sighed heavily and just sat on the couch with the boys trying to keep them from fighting with each other. There was no need to let them start fighting again where either James or Enye would have to break it up. While it wasn’t bad for the boys to learn how to fend for themselves when it was unfair he honestly didn’t think it was right to allow them.

The biting he was less then pleased about, Aiden having tried to bite him when he separated them, only to have his butt swatted. He hoped the little boy wouldn’t try it again. Although with them being as stubborn as Enye could it seemed it would be a likely hood. He looked up when the woman said she needed a breather and nodded. Well he could let her be for a while. She dealt with boys more over the past few months and was probably quite exhausted from being more a single mother then them being a couple and taking care of their sons together.

That he felt truly guilty for but there was little he could do with the shape shifter clan in the way that it was. And it wasn’t doing well for that matter. Probably the reason for her going into heat as much as she was the stress. Or she had mentioned something about it before. He hadn’t been fully awake for the whole long speech she had given at one point or another. He was hoping she would be back soon; although if she was smoking he wouldn’t have been to pleased. He hated cigarettes. He couldn’t stand the smell and the effects to your health only made them more hated from his point of view.

[Enye]

She was not sure what to do anymore. The stress of so few of their species was riding on her. Like she would have to repopulate the world with shifters. That was crazy of course. The woman took another drag off the cancer stick and flicked the ashes away, not knowing that the smoke was going toward the house and the smell was possibly going into the window. Cigarette smoke was curious of course. It was visible for only a short amount of time before it seemed to disappear. Well, anyone that had seen the nasty stuff knew what she was thinking about.

The smell though would linger and spread around. Enye was not even sure what to do right now. Everything felt so hopeless. They had to have more babies. They had to. It was as if it was ingrained in her mind and she could not stop the thoughts. If only she had poked holes in the condoms - no that would be wrong. It was almost against her upbringing to use them but they could not really take care of another baby. The house was small and James would only have to build on more rooms. She did not want to move of course. The place was nice.

Quiet and out of the way. She could walk along and be alone for hours before even seeing another shifter. Flicking more ashes away she took another drag before slowly exhaling. Of course she had been breathing this whole time. If there were only more females and a few males. A breeding tree of sorts like the humans had done in zoos to dying species of animals. Either way she was going to stay out here for awhile. Just to think things over.

[James]

James had been trying to figure out how to bring more shifters to the area but it wasn’t easy. He couldn’t command everyone to find a mate and suddenly reproduce. If it was that simple he would have done that ages ago and there would be plenty of shifters all over the place. But it wasn’t. he couldn’t command anyone to do something without a good reason. Of course he himself could help with the shifter population but he doubted the woman really wanted more children now. It wasn’t a problem to build onto the house honestly. Although it would just about kill him he could always call his family to come and help. He and his brothers could finish it in a few days along with his father. His mother of course was really there to break up any fights that would happened between the siblings.

James had a problem letting go what the others had done to him when he was younger and how they continued to torment and pick at him as he got older. He had been the only one to take a mate and grow up; they had yet to even leave home. Not to say they weren’t hard workers but they were more out for fun instead of work and rathered to sit around the house all day if they weren’t forced to work on his family’s farm or if they could find work elsewhere. To say the least James had always been willing to work and to get out of the house. It had been one of his only escapes!

The man sighed heavily and felt something in his lap as Andrew handed him a toy. He picked to boy up and handed him back the toy and watched as he played with it before handing it back with James obviously wanting to play. James played with the boys for a while before they got occupied by the tv again. He figured he should go look for Enye but he wasn’t about to leave the kids alone in the house. They were enough trouble when they were being watched.
