129 129 Small Taste of Sake

"You are one of the few people that do not need to thank me. I know that this is my job but I am extremely happy that you are the one that I get to work with from now. I will do as you requested and I will bring you the medication should the meeting be extended." Miyuki took the pouch and held it close. "We should get going now. The others are waiting for us."

"You are right, let us be off then." Amelia opens the door and starts to walk out to the front door with Miyuki trailing behind her. 

Mayumi peeks from a room and looks at Amelia. "AUNTIE!! You look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

"Thank you, Mayumi. You behave now and I will return later. I have a gift for you and Itsuki." Amelia waved and walked to the entrance. 

Miyuki came through the door first and helped Amelia down the steps. "I will be outside the carriage. It is a lovely day." She blushes and looks at Kosuke. 

"If that is what you would like then I will not get in the way." They reach the carriage and Kosuke helps Amelia inside. She sits next to Gabriel.

As soon as Amelia comes into sight Gabriel grabs her by the waist and pulls her into his lap. "You look simply ravishing." 

Squealing then giggling Amelia falls into his lap. "Stop, Edna is here. And you said you would behave." She squirms, but with the way, he was holding her she couldn't get far.

"Do not mind this old lady. I think that it is amazing that my son has finally found a girl. Let me let you in on a secret," Edna smirks and looks at Gabriel then back to Amelia, "This is the happiest I have ever seen him and it is all thanks to you. If Gabriel did not find you then he would be just a hollow shell with nothing to live for. Honestly," she places her hand on her cheek, "I think this is quite nice, BUT, no babies… yet. You hear me, Gabriel?"

"It is not like that is a top priority right now. I hear you loud and clear Mother. I will help her before I hurt her." Gabriel snuggled his cheek into the nap[e of her neck.

Amelia giggled and hummed in appreciation. "Thank you Mother for looking out for me." 

"Dear, I had known that you were his match since the time that I followed him through the garden. Seeing the two of you there was like two people destined to become one. I tried to find out everything that I could about you. So, I want you to know that I told Gabriel that I would agree to anything if you were the one that he wanted. Also, I cleared the marriage meeting that he destroyed." Edna smiles at both of them.

"Gabriel, you have done more than enough." Amelia's face was a light crimson. "Mother, I will admit that I am glad that you decided on me." She held out her hand to Edna. 

Taking Amelia's hand, "I also told Gabriel that we would help you out in any way that we could." She patted Amelia's hand smiling. "I am glad that you are joining us." 

"If you say so but there is so much more that I can and will do for you. If you want a child I will give it to you but Mother is right we shall wait until the timing is right. You are mine and we have as many years as I will greedily take." Holding her Gabriel closes his eyes as he is afraid for once that he could lose the love of his life. The carriage stops and the door opens and Edna steps outside. Gabriel set Amelia down and got out. He waited and held out his hand to Amelia. 

Amelia sat there for a moment and caught her breath and then took Gabriel's hand and let him lead her into the building. "This building is really beautiful. I know that this is my second time here but looking at it, it is the place where our lives became connected." 

Gabriel didn't let her hand go and held onto it so that he could easily catch her if she fell. "Yes, this is where everything started. Where the love of my life rested on a bench and I picked a sakura blossom out of your hair." 

Clarence, Irene, and Edward showed up in a carriage and Irene rushed to Amelia. "You look so beautiful." Tears started to pour from her eyes. 

Amelia pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed her mother's eyes. "Mother, I am okay. Please don't cry." 

Edward came up and hugged Amelia and Irene. "My beautiful ladies. I can not believe that it is finally time as well. It seems like just yesterday that I was holding you as a baby." 

"Let's continue inside. It is not good for Amelia to stay out for too long where the Sun could be beating down on all of us." Clarence says this and slides the door open. "Hey, Tomoya. Is the lily room available?" 

"It is. You told me to keep it open for you today. I hope that this will be the last time I see you here." Tomoya laughs and waves them in. 

Amelia and Gabriel walked hand in hand. Amelia blushed and followed Clarence and Gabriel. When they got to the room Amelia let go of Gabriel's hand and sat in between her parents. Her face was blushing deeply and she looked away from Gabriel. 

Gabriel sat in between his parents, sad to be away from Amelia but he tolerated it as he was getting her for the rest of their lives. 

Clarence looked at Irene and Edward. "Thank you for agreeing to this meeting but honestly we both know that once love is found no one can replace that someone special no matter what." 

"I agree with you." Edward picked up the sake decanter and poured sake for everyone but Amelia. "I would pour you some but we do not know what it would do to you." 

Thinking for a moment, "Father Clarence, do you think it would be okay to try\u003e Given that you are now my main doctor?" Amelia looked at the sake wondering what it tasted like. 

Gabriel picked up his cup and lifted it up and drank the contents but held a little in his mouth he got up and walked to Amelia and turned her head away and kissed her and licked her lips to gain access. Once her lips parts, Gabriel gave her a small amount of Sake. "Now you have a small taste but no more as it is true that we don't know what it will do to you." 

Amelia drank the liquid and it burned slightly down her throat. She shivered from the taste and licked her lips. "Gabriel, you didn't…" She covered her face with her hands.

The parents watched and were happy at the display. "Well, aren't you love my dear." Irene smiled and placed her hand on Amelia's

"You don't know the half of it, Irene. If we leave them alone for a short period of time they will be cuddling. All the way here Gabriel would not let her sit down." Edna shakes her head and sighs. 

"If he is treating my baby girl like the princess that she is then I have no complaints." Edward lifted his glass and drank the sake. 

Gabriel went back to his seat happily and sat back down. He drank the sake that Edward kept giving him. "Edward, I would like to be able to walk after this. I want to walk with Amelia in the garden. As this is when we first formally met each other." He drank the cup and set it aside. 

Before Edward could pour more Irene took the decanter away and filled her husband's glass. "Let Gabriel have a break." 

Amelia pulled out a small package and held it out to Gabriel. "This is a small gift I prepared in secret from everyone. I hope that you will like it."
