David looked out the window of his Limo as it puled up to Ivory tower looking at the two massive doors emblazoned with his rival's company's symbol. He couldn't help but grimace remembering something his father once told him. David all that money you think you have means nothing you didn't work for it you got rich off the sweat of others. It's worthless. "Shows you dad." He said as the limo came to a stop. "Thank you Bertram." He said stepping out of the Limo as he walked towards the building the doors slid open. He looked around at all the people trading and buying stocks several taking notice of him especially the employees. "Oh Mr. Xanatos we weren't expecting you here today." David looked at the man and smiled. "No worries I'm not here to cause trouble just checking on my investments and such." He said smiling at all the other employers. "Good luck to you all in your purchases." He said heading for an elevator once inside he placed his hand atop the scanner riding it to one of the levels specifically designed for buyers of his level. Of course he made random visits here just to show his face around and let the supernaturals who entered this building know that he was here. He felt the elevator come to a stop and open up to his office. He looked around. He hadn't been here in a while as he stepped out the door shutting and locking behind him. He began shedding his coat. "Computer bring up stock 1225." He said tossing his coat on the desk. Right away Mr. Xanatos. Said the computer as a hologram came up. "Ahh yes the stocks." He said rubbing his chin as he reached into his pocket pulling out a cigar and snapping his fingers lit. "Right so let's make some magic shall we?" He said with a grin as he got to work.

There were so many things even now she would always be clueless about and never fully understand like her husband did. Back when she lived with her mother and sisters the world seemed so small the most she had to worry about was what she would wear and what to spend what little money she got allowance on. Once kicked out of the nest and forced out onto her own two feet into the world of humans she soon learned it was much much far bigger than she could've imagined and that mystery only seemed to grow and elude her more as humans got more and more advanced in their technologies where horses were once useful they were replaced by cars and where paper and quills once worked they too were replaced with various writing utensils and paper the biggest improvement was the computer and this so called internet. She knew David usually got up early to go to work to get an early start on his day which allowed her to sleep in a little until she was ready to get up and soon enough she did awake and after a cup of tea and some buttered toast with honey she got to work pulling out her songbook and worked for a few hours on her lyrics. Then knowing it was time for her husband's lunchbreak she decided to freshen up and shower before getting dressed in a nice dress for him and made him some lunch like she always did before calling his secretary to inform her to inform him she would be arriving soon and then she was off having one of their cheaffeurs drive her to his work since he refused to let her ride in taxis anymore since she was busted returning home with Aurora in her car letting him know she'd taken a taxi when she promised not to use them anymore but she'd been so excited for a little mother daughter time it slipped her mind really. Once there she headed up and was let into his office finding him at his desk. "I brought you lunch my dear," Reshira exclaimed as she walked in now holding his lunch container where he could see it before setting it down on his desk before him and sat down next to it looking to him directly now. "So I was wondering since I'm free tonight and you get off early what plans you had for us tonight? I was hoping we might go out for a change to a nice fancy restaurant we haven't had a real date since I got pregnant with Aurora!" Reshira asked and suggested twirling a little of her hair around a finger now.

David looked up as the door opened to his office seeing his wife walked in also letting out a cloud of cigar smoke. H adjusted his glasses and looked at her as he stubbed out his cigar. "hello honey." He said as he clapped the simulation he was working on vanishing. "I was going to meet you." He said looking at her skeptically. "You did take the limo this time right?" He asked staring her in the face to look for any sign of deceit. He knew his wife wouldn't lie to him about anything important, but she had no problem lying to him about things like this. He'd offered her many times to teach her how to drive, but each time she refused saying she would prefer a horse. he chuckled as he kissed her looking at the screen of stocks he'd been keeping an eye on lately. it still chafed him that he'd gotten beat out for the rights to land by Kgosi. That werecat pounced on it before David even had a chance to bid. This was to be a new lab for his company, but now the cat had made a stock market of it. Oh well he couldn't be mad he would just have to try harder besides a little competition kept one sharp at all times and Kgosi was indeed a formidable opponent. David popped open the Styrofoam lid of the container looking at what was to be his lunch. It was to his delight an Australian meat pie or at least a slice of one. He smiled grabbing a fork and digging into it. It wasn't his mother's but it was damn good. "Fancy restaurant hunh I think I can handle that just make the reservations wherever love and we'll go." He said speaking between bites. he didn't know how hungry he'd been, but then again he hadn't eaten anything since that sandwich this morning. "How's Aurora doing?" he asked.

Reshira was hardly phased by the cloud of smoke really expecting it by now. She didn't exactly prove of it but she allowed his habits as he allowed hers. That was being in love was learning to tolerate and put up with one's imperfections since nobody was perfect not even she was. "Hello," she replied with a smile as she approached his desk now setting down his mentioned lunch and looked up at his question and the skepticism behind it. "I know but I like to bring your lunch to you sometimes and of course the driver Jimmy brought me here today," Reshira replied tapping her fingers lightly on the top of the container as she hummed a little to herself now. Of course her husband was a persistant man and tried to show her all the benefits of driving herself but she insisted she just wasn't ready for such a feat just yet but she guessed it was about time to relent and give it a try since Aurora seemed to be doing so well at it now surely if Aurora did it she could do it herself as well. She'd smile and kissed him back before taking a peak at all the graphs and numbers now and shrugged she'd never really understand his hobby with them but it was how he had made his riches so it was really important to him and he was good at it he rarely ever screwed up on his stocks. She wasn't a five star chef and could hardly make his favorite recipes one hundred percent but she'd gotten pretty good at cooking for him lately and so decided to try and make his favorite austrailian meat pit for once and well it wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn good she thought having a small slice of it herself before. "Well there's that really good new steakhouse I heard about so maybe there," Reshira replied scratching her chin a little before looking to him at the mention of their daughter now. "She's like her usual self again I'm really glad you two made up." she replied before sighing a little hands in her lap now. "Seems like she's all grown up now and doesn't really need me anymore as much. Feels like she was just two yesterday." she added before walking to the window and looking out at the city below now bustling with life hands resting over her abdomen now she really was beginning to suffer from the empty nest syndrome she really missed having a child who relied on her for so much like guidance and tutelage.

He sometimes wondered where he would be without his beautiful wife as much as he harped at her for simply things she did the same for him back when he was just starting his business working out of a below average lab working days on end. HIs wife would come in reminding him to eat and bathe. She would make him leave the lab for at least eight hours to sleep and eat. "Oh thank goodness." He said sitting back down with his pie as he looked at the stock market charts before turning off the TV looking at his wife as he tore through the rest of the meat pie wiping his hands off and throwing the container in the trash as he headed for the elevator grabbing his coat. "Well that's enough of the stocks." He said shooting an email to his board members. He pulled up the website for the steakhouse as they got in the elevator before getting a big grin as he pulled his wife towards him kissing her passionately. "it's rare that I get to show such affection my dear." He said stroking her cheek. "And I know you've been feeling a tad bit unfulfilled what with Aurora being grown and such, so I was thinking that maybe we could have another baby just to you know pass the time." He said as he pressed the call button on his phone signaling his driver to pull around.

Her mother probably would have said that she rushed into things with David that she barely knew him and couldn't possibly love him so quickly like she did. She'd roll her eyes at that and shake her head she loved David deeply and never regreted coming to live with him and especially didn't regret marrying him. Sure at times they nagged each other a little about certain things but that's what being married and in love was about in the end it made one all the wiser and closer to their significant other and though they nagged each other a little they never really got into a serious fight they always came to an understanding with each other. Course she would not tolerate him overworking himself like he tried to do and made sure he was well groomed and fed looking his best for the day and made him take breaks when it seemed he might get ill for not sleeping enough or eating right. She'd roll her eyes a little with a smile shaking her head as she smoothed out her dress a little now and moved to the window as he ate his lunch and sighed a little as she placed her hands over her abdomen now. She missed having a baby to care for and raise it was a nice refreshment from the mundane work life she lived designing her fashion lines and working on her music. Some of her happiest and beautiful moments had been with Aurora as she learned to walk and talk she'd never seen her husband happier than welcoming his daughter into the world and spoiling her like he did wanting her to have everything he didn't at that age. She wanted to feel that happiness again and see him light up so much when they welcomed another child into the world but he didn't seem too keen on it right now. She'd smile as she joined him in the elevator as he seemed ready to leave now and kissed him back before leaning against him now nuzzling his chest a little now. Then she looked up at him again eyes lighting up at the mention of a new baby now. "You really mean it? You want another baby with me honey?" Reshira asked smiling wide before nodding a little. "I really have missed having a little one sure it was a lot of work but nothing made me happier than being a mother. Now that Aurora is moving on and someday will have her own babies I feel ready for a new little one of my own again," she added and well she felt Aurora would love a sister when she found out what a joy it was to have a baby sister she might be inspired to have her own babies then.

David didn't become a millionaire, by ignoring what was right in front of his face. His wife wanted another child and well when she first brought it up he'd said no he didn't want another baby at the time he was deeply involved with his company at the time and didn't have time to help raise a child. that had been one of the mistakes he'd made with Aurora he was constantly working, and never got to see her so to make up for that guilt he'd spoiled her rotten. he refused to do so again. He'd take the time to raise this child and groom it so that it didn't make a lot of mistakes as Aurora did, but mostly he didn't want another spoiled child. he smirked as she kissed back and then asked if he wanted another baby with her. "Well who else would I be having a baby with silly." He said stroking her cheek. He nodded. "Child rearing is no easy feat we both know that especially if that child happens to be a siren like her mother." He said shaking his head. They'd been naïve when they had Aurora he thought he could do it all running a multinational company and then come home and be the perfect father. "I want to make up for the things I didn't do for Aurora. I missed so much. Her plays, most of her birthday parties." He sighed. "Whenever I think of how much I've fucked up I can't help, but hear my dad laughing at me!" He growled a little as he climbed into the limo. He reached for another cigar and then looked at it. "Damn I'm gonna have to stop smoking these things if we're to have another baby." He shook his head. "The things I do for love."

Reshira respected that he was a hardworker he'd done so much to get where he was now and sure he always made time for her but one should only work for so much in one day before needing a break to relax and unwind a bit before the next day of work came so he was refreshed once more. She was hurt sure at the time when he said he didn't want another baby that they had a child already so she dropped it then. She hardly hated him for that though she couldn't force him to have another child if he wasn't ready for another one yet and figured he might be once Aurora was grown enough and living on her own or with a husband of her own. She was surprised more than anything that he said he wanted another child now and had to make sure he was serious now and smiled sheepishly as she hugged him tight now briefly before letting him go again. If not me you'd be in big trouble buster," she repleid poking his chest for emphasis before giggling a bit shaking her head a little now. "Well I hope your ready for another daughter then because we fae only have girls y'know. I'm pretty sure I told you that when I got pregnant with Aurora," Reshira replied. That day had been pretty amusing he was so panicking about possibly having a son considering how his father was but she told him she could only have girls and when he didn't believe her she introduced him to another siren Felicia and her ten siren daughters if he wanted a son at some point he would have to adopt one sadly or get a surrogate human mother to bear him one using her egg instead. "You did the best you could and to be honest we kind of rushed into Aurora but this time things will be different and just know that Aurora does love you honey even if she doesn't always show it," Reshira replied joining him in the limo now and leaning against him now head on his shoulder now. Maybe we can name this girl after your mother this time," she added as a suggestion now and smiled as she looked up at him now. "I love you so much my husband,"she said nuzzling his cheek a little with her own now.

David knew some of the struggles a man such as himself might go through with a wife. Was she just in it for the money, or maybe she was cheating on him? He couldn't help, but laugh at those idiots. If you pick up a woman by showering her with money, then that's all she'll expect from you. He'd met Reshira when he was just starting out when he was in Japan he was training to be a sage which meant he had renounced all his money at the time, but he'd failed at the training, but he'd met Reshira and brought her back with him and started his business again. David smiled. "No need to worry love I have eyes only for you I promise." He said holding her tight as they left. He sighed at that he wanted a son, but if he adopted he knew the news hounds would have a field day and that his board members would start advising him to keep the child out of the will or make sure they got very little control of the company. that was a headache he didn't want right now not to mention how his daughter would take it. Then there was a surrogate mother, but that was a migraine waiting to happen. Who's to say the mother wouldn't try to mess things up or get her claws into his company through the child. "I suppose it's for the best then me and my father have spoken in half a century, so I doubt the bond between me and my own son would be any different." He didn't even know if his old man was still alive if he was he hadn't contacted him and if he wasn't then he hadn't left him anything which was fine his father's entire life couldn't culminate to what David had done and he was just getting started! "yeah we kind of did, but we'll do better we're wiser now." He said kissing her cheek as they rode in the Limo. "So do you want to go to the steak house now or later?" He asked as he held her.

She'd learned quickly a lot of humans were superficial when it came to money and could be a little paranoid when it came to dating and whether they were dating a gold digger or not. Reshira had made it clear to him she had no interest in his wealth only his love and devotion to her but that didn't mean she'd stop him spoiling her like he did if it meant she could be some nice clothes and dresses she wasn't too big on shoes really like some women were she liked to go barefooted when able to do so like at home really. He hadn't owned much when they first met but he was so cute and handsome she wanted to give him a chance to prove himself to her and that he was worthy of her time and love and she had never regreted that even now she was happy here by his side there was nowhere else or anyone else she rather be with right now. "I know I just like to hear you say it your the only man for me now and forever long as we both live," Reshira replied with a purr as he held her close as they headed down now to his limo in order to leave now. If he really wanted a son she didn't mind letting him adopt or find a surrgote mother but he didn't really seem too keen on that right now. She knew it had to do with aspectes of his work and the council he worked with and how they feared losing any bit of their stake in this place to some son of his. "Now now I think you would be a great father to a son baby having one would be a chance to show your father what he missed out on with you," Reshira replied and simply nodded at that kissing his cheek in return now and stroking his head a little now. "Well it's a little early don't you think you just had lunch silly man we got time to kill until then," she replied with a purr pressing herself more against him now. "Perhaps we can get started on that baby first then we can go out for dinner and maybe a play?" she suggested and asked with a smile trailing a finger up and down his chest now purring a little now.

David had been cautious about the women he'd run with and made sure every single time his player had on his "uniform" before each game no way was he going to knock up some girl only to have her come back wanting half of everything he'd built, which is why most times when he went out to get a woman he'd let his Australian accent slip they were less likely to think he was a business, than a stranger from a strange land just looking for kicks, but Reshira had been different he knew from the moment he saw her that she was going to be something special to him, so he'd promised her he'd make her a queen and for all intents and purposes she was. "You sure about that darling you'll live forever barring any fatalities or something me on the other hand I'm good for another few centuries at best, but eventually I too will kick the bucket." He said with a sigh. "I don't want my memory to keep you and Aurora from living a happy life." He smiled at her and stroked her cheek. "You always know what to say." David laughed. "What do you mean too early it's never too early for a hot meal!" He said his accent coming out in full force. "Crikey I remember back when I was still in the silver mines my bloes and me would have at least 10 cut lunches a day, and god what a crook they were too terrible things I tell ya. Bread was either hard enough to chip a tooth a molded to the point of being penicillin." He said looking at Reshira as he coughed. "You bring out the Aussie in me Sheila." He said grinning. "took the words right out of me mouth. Bertram take us home will ya the wife wants a bit of root before dinner." He said looking at her. "you are an insatiable creature you know that."

Reshira could relate to that some men could be rather obsessive with beautiful women like her. They didn't really want a relationship with her they just wanted her body to show off like some trophy. David was different though sure he was mesmerized by her beauty and liked to show her off but it wasn't like she was a trophy to him he treated her like his equal really his queen and spoiled her so much to prove it. They just got each other like no one else could and she could tell his love was always geniune towards her and their daughter. He just made her so happy and she cherished all the times they shared together she knew his time wasn't as long as hers was sadly but that didn't matter she'd enjoy it while it lasted. "I will love you always even after that and I will cherish all our time together even when your an old man," Reshira replied clasping their hands together and smiled sadly at that now. "I wont deny how painful and hard it will be losing you someday love but I will make sure our children live long and happy lives and know what a great father they had. I might move on someday eventually but you'll always be in my heart," Reshira replied smiling back at him now and nuzzling his hand with her cheek in return now. "I try," she said with a sheepish smile on her face now and then giggled a bit. "I swear you'd eat until you were a blimp you silly man you," she replied and giggled a bit poking his stomach a little teasingly now. She'd giggle a bit as his austrailian accent seemed to spontaneously explode as he spoke in his antive tongue now and giggled a bit at that. "proforá sas mou gyrízei pragmatiká se perissótera gno̱rízete," Reshira replied with a grin and a purr now as she licked her lips a little as he commanded they be taken home immediately now and kissed a little at his jawline now. Tha mou me af̱tón ton trópo i̱ agápi̱ kánei," Reshira replied sitting in his lap now and kissing him more now smiling wide now.
Translation proforá sas mou gyrízei pragmatiká se perissótera gno̱rízete --- your accent really turns me on more you know Tha mou me af̱tón ton trópo i̱ agápi̱ kánei --- You make me this way love

"Not something I'm looking forward to I'll have you know." He said shaking his head a little sure his life span was longer than any regular human, but to an immortal his life would be like the blink of an eye. He wished he could live forever not for himself, but for his family. He sighed inwardly he'd been down this road before and he would not do the whole body switching thing it was something for a skilled necromancer and that was a skilled he possessed nor would he learn. He gave a slight shudder at the thought of Reshira being with another man, but it was something he couldn't help happening. He refused to be that selfish. "Thanks baby and well just make sure that Aurora doesn't drive my company into the ground, or that the stock board members don't eat her alive. For all her power she would be nothing against them one wrong move and she'll be out on her ear and they'll be running the company." David rarely let his accent slip he wanted to give the perfect image of a business man and that meant not saying words like bloke, or Aussie. Still when he was with Reshira he let himself unwind letting his accent come out in full force. He'd listened to her speak and smiled he'd learned a while ago to speak her native tongue and grinned devilishly. "I guess there's no helping it then me and you together we're toxic together, and I like it!" He said biting her lip.

Reshira would simply nod at that as she stroked his head a little now affectionately. Her mother had told her all about human mortality and it's effects on them. Their lives were so short and though he was a Magi and lived about as twice as long as a normal human he's still die of old age someday and knew it was not something David really liked to talk about. His only option to live was a technique necromancers possessed the ability to place their soul in a new body but her husband seemed against it and seemed to value dying more when it time came then prolonging it after all eventually a body would reject his soul and he'd be lost forever. She never really thought about dating again after David died it just seemed so hard to do moving on it'd be a long time before she could love someone again like she did David. Living that long though seemed bearable with their children around with her still. "You forget she takes more after you honey no one walks all over Aurora she'll make them think twice about doing so but I promise our children will be well cared for and loved always," Reshira replied smiling at him softly now. She really missed when he spoke in his natural accent it'd been pretty confusing to her at first. When they first met her english was rather broken and she couldn't really speak too well outside her Greek. He'd made it his mission to teach her better English and in return better understand her own language and eventually she learned enough Austrailian to understand him better when he spoke it. She'd smile and purr at that kissing him now. She was so happy when they finally made it home she'd never seen David move so fast carrying her up to their penthouse now and to their bedroom. It felt like their honeymoon all over again really they'd spent well into the night making love and that was when Aurora was conceived after all so it was quite a special time when their anniversary rolled around being Aurora's birthdya as well.

David smiled at that. "You think so I guess that's why we always argue we're too much alike." He said rubbing his mustache. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. "Damn I look like my father." He said, but he could see his eyes were starting to Darken. It had been a bit of a gap to overcome their speech difficulties, but he'd managed alright, and now they both spoke perfect English. "you ever think we should have taught Aurora how to speak our native tongues, I know she can speak plenty European languages that school I sent her too had a full class curriculum." He said as he saw Reshira climb into his lap. "Really right here in the car even I'm not that bold." He said chuckling as the driver pulled up to the gate of his home. "Just hold on a minute we're almost home you minx." he said getting out of the car. "Will that be all sir?" Bertram asked and David nodded. "Thank you for the drive Bertram I'll call for you again in about two hours." he said staring at his watch as he and Reshira moved deeper into their lavish home. He lead the way up the staircase to their master bedroom shutting the door once the two of them were inside. They wouldn't be heard from again until David called for Bertram to bring the car around to make it for their dinner.
