169 Brothers heart to hear

That evening When Aisling was getting ready for bed she asks Astila his opinion. 

"I called Uncle Audis today and asked him about the house. He said he will set a price on the house and let me know in June. I umm also asked him about letting Winona move into it. I told him about her ex and that Marshal wants her to stay here. He says that it would be good for his kids to think that she is renting it. That way they may not say anything later. He also is going to see about getting her on at the hospital. What do you think. Is it something she will be ok with or have I overstepped to far?" Looking anxiously at her husband hoping that he isn't going to scold her for meddling. Astila just gives her a look and sighs heavily. Shaking his head at her he lays on the bed. Pulling her into his arms . He gently kissed the top of her head as it rests on his shoulder. 

"I honestly don't know her well enough to know how she will take it. I asked for her because I knew her husband had been violent and felt she could empathize with Remi. It was also to help her get away from him for awhile. She was having a lot of trouble with Brayden fighting. I felt him being in a different environment may help. So I can't say anything to you about meddling this time. It would be kind of hypocritical since I meddled by bringing her here. I know she likes it here and I see the way Marshal acts with her. So if she stays it would not be a bad thing. What if she doesn't what are you going to do with a second house?" He has a good idea but wants to hear it from her. 

"We are having twins we will need to have a house for each of them when they are adults. I was really thinking of giving it to either Yona or Salali. They each have someone that they love . Randy only rents his apartment in Remi's building. I know that Remi wants a house but now she has a building. So the house won't go to waste there are a number of possibilities for it. I just don't want Eva and the others to just sell it without thinking of what their parents would want. They would want it kept in the family if possible. I just want to make that happen." Aisling snuggles deeper into his arms and closes her eyes. In a matter of minutes she is sound asleep. Astila listens to her even breathing and slips out of bed. He goes down stairs to get something to drink when he sees the light is already on. Yona is sitting at the table with his computer up. 

"Why are you in here and not in the sitting room?" Astila asks his brother as a gets a glass of water. 

"Hmm I would rather not say." Truth is even though they took the bed out of the room . He still only thinks of the morning he left for Japan. It's the first time ever he lost  control enough to not even use protection. He is still anxious about if Remi May have gotten pregnant that day. It's still to early to tell. Part of him hopes so and the other part is scared as hell. He can't say that to his brother though . 

"What are you working on?" Yona smiles wistfully and tells him 

"I'm looking for a place to take Remi. We have only gone on one real date and I want her to myself for a few days. " Astila sighs and thinks about dates him and Aisling never really dated. They just were together from the moment they met. He wonders if they will get to date at some point. He wonders where she might like to go. He feels like he needs to warn Yona about how the family is about premarital sex. 

"Umm they do not look kindly on premarital sex. They consider it a sin. Luckily they will allow you a hand fasting ceremony that gives you a year together to live as husband and wife before actual marriage. Though Aisling and I knew we were getting married quickly. I was honest with Norma about my feelings and within a few hours we were joined . So I haven't had a moment away from her except when she was in the hospital since the day I met her. " Yona knows that it's not like his brother to let emotions rule his actions so he asks him. 

" Have you regretted it at anytime?" Astila is very quick to answer . 

"Not a second I was drawn to her the moment I first saw her. I thought I would be annoyed with trying to watch over a kid. Then I saw her and my heart stopped. It was like time stopped. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I could hear my heart begin to pound in my chest to the point I could hear nothing else. Then she ran away. No one ever made me feel like that. I never had that happen until the day I drove up the drive. What about you with Remi?" Knowing that Yona is a playboy he wants to be sure his feelings are real. 

"I was protective of her before I met her. I think it's because of Crystal. I had an argument with Thomas over her and Crystal. Then she pulled up in the drive and I was filled with excitement just looking at her. The fact that she didn't speak did not matter to me. I was surprised at how protective I was of them. I never normally pay attention to kids or women unless I want to sleep with them. On my trip this time not a single girl event sparked my interest. I only got excited when I knew I was going to talk to her. Even the others noticed the difference and teased me. " Astila hears the softness and warmth in his brothers way of speaking about Remi he sees his smile easily crossing his face . He knows that his brother loves Remi now not just with his words but his face and how his eyes shine as he talks. They are destined for sure. The two sigh with contentment that they both have a family . Astila finishes his water and tells his brother good night. Looking back at him he reminds him.

"Talk to John about a hand fasting if you don't want people to gossip about Remi. She has been the subject of gossip for too long. Dont let others have a reason to hurt her. Don't wait to long ok."  Yona looks at his brother and nods he was way ahead of him. He already thought about it and has an appointment with him the next day. He closes his computer and heads up to his room. Remi went back to her apartment for the time being and he is missing her . He hopes she will visit him tonight when he falls asleep. Now that he is home he wants her beside him not just in his dreams. 

Yona goes upstairs and gets settled for bed he hopes that morning comes quickly. closing his eyes he drifts off to sleep. 

Remi hasn't told anyone that since having therapy that her nightmares have increased. She isn't sure why but she is trying to keep it so that no one worries. It's the same dream though over and over. Luckily when she thinks of Yona she is taken to his dream and out of her nightmares. It only works though if he has fallen asleep. Tonight her nightmare is more scary than normal. It feels more real. It's always the same though. She is in a dark cold cellar and there are rats scratching around. She hears a guttural voice calling her to come to him. That she is his and no one else can have her. Remi breaks out in a cold sweat and can't breath the smell is overwhelming and making her dizzy. She is crawling around trying to find a way in the dark. She feels something crawling in her back . Opening her mouth to scream nothing  comes out. 

"Yona please please hurry I can't breath please." Tears are streaming down her face as she calls for him. Finally she sees a blinding light and she runs towards it. Knowing on the other side Yona is there. Stepping through the light she is in front of the lake Yona is waiting for her. She runs to him and holds him tighter than ever. Wishing she could be in the light with him always. Not knowing that in the shadows the evil is watching and waiting.
