Chapter 5: Here with me.

Play me ;)


 Photobucket

Later on the next day, as the sun was setting in the sky, Ana and Zander got to see their new home.
Ana admired that the boys had paid attention to detail: they had managed to put some flowers out front.

“Whoa babe, this place is perfect!” Ana said as she gawked in Awe
Zander admired the kitchen, because yes, it was 'his' space. Who ever said that the woman in the house should make the sandwiches is nuts. Even the lighting had his touch.  
“Let's go out to celebrate hun,” squealed Ana. Their friends could move the furniture. Yeah Ana could be bossy at times.

First stop was to Jamie Lio's party. They hadn't caught up in a while, with Ana keeping quiet and trying to get ahead in her career.
“I expected you to have a different kind of party, what happened to the wild child in there Jamie?”
Jamie just smiled at Ana with his dimplish grin. “We have to grow up some time don't we Ana? I heard Rue has been doing the same. Jarabi informed me they have 2 kids. Who would have ever thought those two would raise a family? I was thinking the dead was their kind of deal.” Jamie's eyes danced as he spoke. Ana always knew he had a crush on her; some things never change.

Ana heard a baby cry. “Who's little tyke?” She asked.
“My uncle's, this house is rather crowded these days.” Jamie said as his cheeks flushed.
Ana giggled as she walked down the hall and into the room of the small babe.
“Awww, aren't you an adorable wee soul,” Ana swooned.
“Ahhh I hope you're not planning on having those anytime soon.” Zander said.
“Do you make a habit on sneaking up on people, hon?” Ana laughed.
Zander just laughed and kissed his girlfriend, before walking off to the kitchen to sit down for the meal.

Apparently Jamie still cant cook that well, but Mac and cheese is always a winner. The two of them stayed yarning about old times afterwards, and later decided to head out on a date.


Photobucket

So the two of them went out and 'cut some shapes' at the Holy Grail. It was such a fantastic evening. They were both so tired after they headed off home to bed (which they do not share, would you believe that?)


Photobucket

The next morning while Zander was out gardening, Ana picked up their baby and went out to see Dad. “Babe, I am just heading out to see the kids, you want to come?” Ana asked as she was petting Lady Muck.
“No, I am ok, I need to pluck up [pull up? Harvest?]these veggies and get them to the market. I am sure I will see them tomorrow.” Zander smiled up at her. Ana returned his smile as she kissed her baby and put him down.
“At least you have Lady to keep you company.” And with that she went to catch a cab.

“Oh hey Ana, I didn't know you were dropping by,” Jarabi said, looking a little surprised. “Oh did Rue not tell you?” Ana questioned. “Nope.” Said Jarabi just leaving the question answered but hanging as well. “Coy is in the living room, I'm just doing a bit of house work.”. Ana smiled a sad sort of smile as she walked inside.


Photobucket

As Ana picked up her nephew, she wondered where her sister had gone. Her smiles were completely genuine whenever she was around the boys. She hugged Coy so close as she thought more of what was up with her sister. She had been doing so well in the last few months.
Ana lost that train of thought when she tickled Coy and heard his childish cackle.


Photobucket

Ana put Coy down and kissed him on the forehead. “Ana, can I grab you for a moment?” Jarabi called. “Yeah, just give me a sec,” she called back and scruffled her nephew's hair. “See ya tomorrow, scragamuffin.”


Photobucket

Jarabi then goes on to inform Ana that Rue is currently on a two day stay are the rehabilitation unit. She had gone back into insomnia again, and they are just running a few tests and seeing how she is coping. “Just don't let her know you know, or I will be dead,” he adds in at the end and screws his face up. Ana wonders if he is the type of guy who lets his wife beat him. Then giggles because it is such a redonkulous thought.


Photobucket

Ana felt like doing something nice for her boyfriend. So she went out to the community garden to pick some new plants for his garden. As she worked, she wondered whether or not she should go see her sister, and hoped Rodrigo is not noticing any of this. Should she invite him to stay over for a sleepover? “No,” she thought, it is probably best not to go stepping on people's toes and let them ask for help if needed.”


Photobucket

Just as Ana was about to leave, someone came in. “Hey Mum, are you ok?” asked Ana, looking a wee bit worried. Jordan was puffing away, and she looked up. “Odd place for you to be hanging out dear. Your mother was just trying to go for a run, I don't think I have it in me no more.”
Ana sighs and helps her mother to the bench. “You know you're not young anymore right? You have to take it easy,” she let out, flustered. “Yes, yes I know Ana, take a chill pill or something will you?” Jordan said, smiling at her daughter. Ana just rolled her eyes and kissed her mother on the forehead.
“Right, I better get off to work or Dad will have me for breakfast if I am late. PLEASE call a taxi home ok?” Jordan just smiles and waves.


Photobucket

That evening Ana got a promotion. She could not wait to get home and tell Zander.
“Ohbabeguesswhat” * takes a breath * “IgotapromotionandnowIamamemberofthesymphonicquartetbabe, Quartet” With the huge grin on her face Ana grabbed her man. “I fricken love you.”
Zander giggled a bit and gazes into her eyes. “I love you too babe.”


Photobucket

“You really are some thing amazing.” Zander started, and Ana blushed as she stood there in awe.
“There is no words, that can express the way I feel. And nothing that can stop this path in life.”


Photobucket

“Ana, I want to do this all the proper way. I want to give your my heart, my soul and my body.” Zander started jabbering. “Babe what are you doing?”


Photobucket

“Just shut up a minute would you. With this I present this small token, don't worry, it wont bite.”
Ana: * Oh my freaken god, has he caught something and put it in a box? Or is this real? Am I dreaming? *


Photobucket

“Ana Malkier, would you be the pleasure of becoming my wife?” Zander gazed at this beautiful woman standing in front of him. She was in pure shock.......


Photobucket

and pure ecstasy. “Hell YEAH!” and with the Zander put the ring on her finger, which it filled with promise, joy and the family he never had.

Chapter 4: Something inbetween


Photobucket

It was a sunny morning in Queenstown, Ana had decided it was the best time of day to head out and play for tips. It turns out not many people were out and about, apart from this lovely old woman.
"You do play the most beautiful music my dear." She said as she put $30 into Ana's guitar case.
Ana smiled pleasantly back to her as she played the song she wrote for her sister.

Photobucket

While Ana was off doing whatever she does, Zander was just getting up. What he walked into was not what he wanted to see. Lady Muck was chewing on the couch.
"Miss Muck, what the hell do you think you are doing. NO! bad girl." Lady whimpered as her dad yelled at her, she didn't know she was doing wrong. So Zander went out and bought her a chew toy. Lady Muck loved it so much, she spent her time chewing it when she wasn't zooming around the yard.

Photobucket

That afternoon, while Ana was at work, Zander decided that if he and Ana were to build a life together his ambitions were going to have to be smaller, so he got some of his friends to come and build a small kit set house while Ana out. She approved of this plan, at this rate the house was never going to get built. Some other friends of theirs were able to do the demolition of the house. The yard was now free to do the actual build work.

Ana and Zander sat on the couch that evening talking among themselves and settling into the snug new room.
"So, I am going to head out to the park with Rue tomorrow. Would you like to come?" Ana suggested.
"Well I was actually thinking about getting up really early and going finishing. I read in a book today that it is the best time of day to head out."
Ana giggled. "I wouldn't want to bore you with all our small talk now would I?"
Zander smiled back at her. "You are a rather thoughtful creature, right I am off to bed.  Don't you two stay up to late, and watch that she doesn't eat the furniture. I have caught her a few times." With that Zander stood up and kissed her on the forehead, whistling a song Ana had written.

Photobucket

Zander got up and done his usual things. As he walked into their new living room though, he caught a certain someone chewing on the furniture again.
"For gods sake Lady, how many times do I have to tell you. BAD GIRL!" Zander sighed as he grabbed his things and walked out the door. This puppy thing was harder then he thought.

Photobucket

Once Ana got up she decided it was a good time as any to read the book Vance gave her to read for work. She ran her hands over the cover, it read "Herding Cats: Music edition" Apparently is was to help with the leadership role the promotion to Talent scout gave her. She screwed up her face as she started to read. As she went on, it made more sense then the silly name on the cover.

Photobucket

It was coming on to 3pm which was when Rodriques finished school, so Ana went across the road to pick him up. Rue and coy were meeting them at the park.

Meanwhile Lady Muck was making new friends.

At the park, two sisters bonded with the help of two special boys. When once they were stuck with nothing to share, they now had common ground. With in a few hours they were laughing and playing and talking about work, their love lives and the little silly things they used to love as kids. Rue still thinks her sister is a tad nuts.

Once Ana got home it was late. Zander was sitting out the back reading a book.
"Hey you, whats going on. How was the fishing trip?" Ana asked as she sat down on the grass in front of him.
Zander beamed at her, her eyes were glittering in the moon light. "I am the luckiest man alive." He thought to himself.
Ana waved her arm around. "Hello, anyone home?"
"Sorry babe." He slurred with his husky voice. He put the book down on the bench slid beside her, kissing her on the cheek.

"It was good caught some more minnow, 10 more and I will be happy."
"Hey, don't you think that cluster of stars looks like a music note."
Zander just laughed, someone has been spending too much time writing on those pages. They spent the rest of the evening laughing and playing around in the evening dewy grass.
