Darius wrapped his arms around Rosalina and held her close. "Nevertheless, I don't want you to be without help. Even if we may be in separate rooms if you stay here, at least I trust Gareth may be able to help you," he added.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Shh," Gareth murmured to Calista as she continued to cry softly in his arms as he rocked her gently. "Just relax and gain your strength," he whispered as he tenderly stroked her hair.
"I-I'm sorry," Calista whimpered again. "I-I don't want to hurt you," she whispered against him. "And I seem to be only causing you pain..." she added, regret in her voice.

Rosalina nodded. "We can talk to him." She held Darius closer. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. i didn't think you would let me go unless you hated me."

Wrapping Rosalina into a gentle embrace, Darius just pulled her close. "Yes, the sooner we talk with him, the better," he remarked. Darius then gave Rosalina a small smile at her apology. "It is forgiven, love. Your heart was in the right place. But just know that I could never hate you," he said softly.
------------------------------------------------------------
"You don't cause me pain," Gareth whispered to Calista as he continue to stroke her hair as he rocked her gently. "You are my light, Calista. Without you my life would have no meaning."
"You are just too good to be true," Calista murmured softly against him as her sobs slowly abated. "And I love you, my handsome mage, protector and fiancé. You are my reason to live," she added, content to remain in her beloved's arms.
"And I love you, Calista, my dearest maiden and fiancée. You have healed my heart and brought me joy when I thought that the world was filled only with sorrows," he whispered before kissing her brow.

Rosalina sighed. "I know. I just don't want to see you die because of me." She said.

"And I don't want you to get hurt because you left trying to protect me," Darius whispered before planting a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
------------------------------------------------------------
Sighing contentedly at his words, Calista just rested her head against Gareth's shoulder still feeling weak from everything.
"Just relax and rest beloved. I will always be here for you," he whispered.
"Thank you beloved. And I will always be here for you," she whispered as she snuggled against him.

Darius nodded and pressed a quick kiss to Rosalina's forehead before taking her hand and walking out of the room with her. Guessing that Gareth would be with Calista, they went first to the young woman's room and Darius knocked on the door.
------------------------------------------------------------
Hearing the knock roused Calista from her light sleep and she glanced up to look at Gareth questioningly. "Stay here," Gareth told the semi-alert woman as he laid her gently on the bed before rising to answer the door. Seeing both Darius and Rosalina standing outside he gave them both a small smile and let them enter before closing the door and walking back over to Calista's bed. Taking his love in his arms again as he sat down, he just waited for the other couple to speak.
"Is everything all right?" Calista asked them as she just rested in her beloved's arms.

Rosalina bit her lip. "were wondering, if there was another spare room for me to have for the time being."

"A spare room?" Calista asked softly.
"Rosalina is concerned that if I worry too much over her that a seizure might kill me," Darius replied.
"There aren't any more bedrooms," Gareth remarked.
"I see, " Calista murmured as she tried to puzzle out the dilemma. "Rosalina why don't you take my room?" she finally suggested.
"And where will you sleep?" Darius asked slightly horrified, knowing that Daniel would probably throw a fit if they kicked his daughter out from her own room.
"In my room," Gareth replied, already paranoid over his woman's health.

"It's fine," Calista remarked with a smile. "You and Darius are my guests. I don't want to put either of your lives at risk," she added.
"And I won't mind having the love of my life share a room with me," Gareth added with a slight smirk. "And it would be safer than me leaving her alone," he added softly remembering how her heart had ceased to beat for a time.
"Thank you," Darius told them finally.

"You're welcome," Calista told them both. "Just make yourself comfortable," she told Rosalina with a soft smile. "I'll just take some of my dresses to Gareth's room so I won't have to disturb you," she added, still resting against Gareth as he kept his arm wrapped around her, wanting to make sure she did not overtax herself.

"You're welcome, Rosalina," Calista remarked again as she tried to rise. Yet her legs buckled beneath her and Gareth quickly moved to catch her as she fell. "Love, you need to rest. Your body still is weak from everything," Gareth whispered in her ear as he carefully swept her up into his arms.
"Calista, take it easy," Darius told her as he put an arm around Rosalina. "If something happens to you, the mage will go mad with grief," he remarked.
