Author's note: Well the 4th chapter hasn't even come up yet so the reviews definitely haven't so I decided to keep writing anyway enjoy.

Daine was dreaming that she was practicing her archery and was getting bulls eyes one after the other and every time an arrow hit the board it would emit a quiet thunk but as she continued the thunks grew louder and louder, until she decided that she should stop shooting incase she woke somebody up with the noise, it appeared to be early morning. But when she stopped the thunks continued.

Daine sat up in bed somebody was knocking on the door "just a minute!" Daine yelled as she jumped up to open the door than realized she was quite naked, she looked over to the bed and a very naked Numair was waking up there also, grumbling about being waken so early, he than too seemed to realizing where he was and jumped up trying to dress himself as Daine was doing. Daine gave a glance out the window as she rushed to the door it was still dark, this worried Daine what if something were wrong. Daine threw open the door and Onua was there looking worried "sorry to wake you but there's a mare at the stables giving birth she needs help"

"I'll be there right away I just need to grab something" replied Daine rushing inside practically slamming the door in Onua's face, she rushed over to where Numair was cursing trying to get one of his boots on. "it's ok its just a Mare, I have to go help, its having trouble giving birth" Daine said in a rush.

Suddenly the door burst open "Daine! What could you possib...oh hello Numair" Onua said suddenly turning red "sorry to bust in" unfortunately Numair was only half dressed his shirt lay in a heap on the floor, he had one boot on but thankfully he had managed to get his breeches on. "errrr" said Numair nervously "we were just umm... Having an early morning lesson on umm..."

"the art of getting dressed in a hurry?" remarked Onua with a grin. Daine couldn't help herself she gave a giggle and was then dragged out of the room by Onua

"Bye then..." she herd as she was dragged away.

"There she is" Onua pointed to the mare "the foals breech I've tried to shift it but I couldn't the Mares stressing and I can't stop the bleeding you were the closest animal healer so..." said Onua sounding a bit guilty

"Its fine Onua I'm glad you got me" Daine said getting to work straight away calming down the mare. Onua left her to it not wanting to disturb Daine at work.

Meanwhile Numair was sitting on Daine's bed in shock at what had just happened "hmm..." He said to himself "I'd best move, someone else might come in." But for a few minutes he just sat there thinking, until finally he dressed himself and made the bed then sat again. "I don't think she sounded upset" Numair thought "She didn't even sound surprised" he concluded that Daine must have told Onua at dinner and that was that. Numair was about to leave to get some breakfast, he knew Daine would be a while with the mare and didn't want to disturb her for a while. Than Kitten came trotting in eying him suspiciously, than ignoring Numair started glancing around the room clucking to herself. "She's gone to help with a mare" said Numair guessing what the little dragon was looking for. Kitten looked at him again than settled herself on the bed. "Suit yourself said Numair heading own to the mess hall but than stopped, having an Idea. He than ran to the palace gardens feeling hopelessly romantic.

Daine had just finished with the mare and foal the mare was ok but she had only just saved the foal, he was now suckling happily at his mother. "So Daine?" a deep voice echoed through the stables "you managed to save the little one than" It was Stefan the groomsmen he had come in when Daine was trying to save the foal, but didn't want to interrupt.

"Yes" said Daine smiling "he's a beauty too" the foal was a deep liver chestnut with a beautifully shaped head; he had the dished face that some of the racing horses in the stable owned, although he was larger than most of the other racing foals.

"I wish I could heal sometimes" said Stefan gazing at the foal longingly "it'd be grand"

"It can be a darn Burden sometimes" replied Daine thinking of that morning. "But I wouldn't give it up for anything"

"no I don't suppose you would" smiled Stefan "have a good day Daine" yelled Stefan over his shoulder no doubt of to tend to the other horses.

"you to" replied Daine quickly running to wash she wanted to see Numair as soon as possible, as she turned a corner she ran straight into Numair and fell to the floor with a soft plop.

Numair hurriedly helped her to her feet "sorry magelet" Numair said helping her up

"no don't be" replied Daine smiling up at him.

"I have something for you" said Numair sheepishly "you probably won't like them...but its tradition or something" said Numair Holding out Four beautiful perfect roses.

Daine's smile widened "don't be silly, I love them" Daine grinned at the sight of Numair's face going as red as the roses that he held out

"I begged them of one of the palace gardeners" Numair said smiling in relief that she hadn't laughed at him. Daine took the roses in one hand and reached her other hand up to pull him down for a kiss; she smoothed her lips over his overjoyed at the feeling of being back in his arms again. They kissed longingly and heatedly, not caring if anybody saw. The heat in Daine's body threatened to overtake her as Numair run his hand over her body, Daine deepened the kiss while running her hand down his back and chest, Daine broke away from the kiss and looked down at Numair and murmured "whoops sorry"

Numair looked down and he was covered in blood, for a second he panicked than realized that Daine had just helped a mare give birth. He laughed "it doesn't matter, we should wash though or somebody might get suspicious.

"You're right" said Daine "and I want to put these flowers in a vase as well" she said smiling, shed never been given flowers before.

Stefan smiled to himself from the loft where he couldn't have helped but seen the couple kissing. "Isn't love grand?" he said to himself before getting back to work.

Author's note: I don't really know what to say here but I usually say something at the end of a chapter... I hope you didn't think the roses thing was too corny. Lol.
