Chapter 189 - An Unexpected Surprise For Daven And Laura
In the morning, little Laura woke up from her sleep and opened her beautiful green eyes with great joy before turning her head and looking at Daven sleeping.
Using her small hand, she began to move him to wake up.
"Daven, wake up, today dad Einar and our moms are going to talk to us about something important at the opening of the orphanage.
I don\'t know what they want to talk about, but I\'m extremely happy that we can finally have a room to ourselves. "
Daven, who was also somewhat happy, opened his eyes and, using his hands, began to clean his eyes.
"I\'m already awake Laura, I\'m also happy because the orphanage is so big and I\'m also curious to know what Dad Einar wants to talk to us about."
Using his hand Daven scratched his hair "Although you don\'t tell anyone, but you have realized that Papa Einar and our moms treat us better than the rest of the children."
Laura smiled, showing her white teeth revealing some places that had no teeth.
"We already knew that for a long time, but I am really curious to know what they are going to tell us.
Although I do not know why I feel a feeling in my chest of happiness because I am sure that what they will tell us will be something fantastic.
You can say that it is like a sixth sense, but let\'s not waste any more time it is time for breakfast because today will be the last day we eat in the great hall. "
Daven nodded, and without wasting time the two children quickly began to arrange their things to take them to the warehouse so they could have their breakfast.
After placing their things in the storage room for the last time, the two children quickly went to the kitchen, where they found, to their surprise, a large cake in the middle of the table.
Although it was quite simple and was only a large white bread covered in honey and butter, it made all the children too surprised.
In the case of Daven and Laura, it was a feeling of happiness, because they had already tried something similar a long time ago on the birthday they made for Daven months ago.
Also, from time to time, Papa Einar or one of their mothers gave them cupcakes or sandwiches behind the other children so that they would not feel jealous.
This made the two children feel more and more comfortable with Einar, Kassia, and Helmi so that every time they met them they were unconscious like a real family.
Laura and Daven took their seats, and it was then that they saw Einar enter, who looked at all the children fondly, although he took a little time to take a closer look at Laura and Daven.
"Today, children, is a special day because it will be the last time you spend your time sleeping on the floor of the Great Hall. From today all of you will be able to enjoy a bed for yourselves in a completely warm room.
You will not be cold again, and your meals will improve enormously. You will also have a place where you can feel a family atmosphere.
Where they can grow without any inconvenience or problem until they are 16 years old, where they can go to work directly in any company in my family.
With them you will be able to start your life as true members of the tribe, also because you are children before the age of 16, you will not undergo any kind of training on the battlefield.
So in case we face any war or invasion by Vikings, you are only going to help in the logistical tasks, and for nothing in the world are you going to face any enemy.
You are all the future of the tribe and it is my duty to take care of you at all times, even if you move to a different place.
I will always be with you, my children. Papa Einar is not going to abandon you, and I will also be with you when I have to teach you important things or general knowledge.
The only difference is that I will have to go to the orphanage and you will not have to come to me. "
Wiping away some tears that had come out of his eyes, Einar looked at the children lovingly "So now, my little children, enjoy this special breakfast made exclusively for you.
Also, once they finish, I will personally take charge of teaching them how to make paper balloons so that at night, during the opening of the orphanage, you can release them and put on a fantastic show.
But I think it is not correct to take away more of their breakfast time, so to eat my children or the food can cool. "
When they finished saying those words, all the children quickly began to eat the food that was on their plates, while Einar served them a cake on ceramic plates.
When they finished breakfast they helped clean the table and it was, then that Kassia and Helmi entered the room carrying already cut paper, small candles, string, and pine glue.
As she left all the things on the table, Kassia placed herself in front of all the children and, looking at them with pride, began to give a small speech.
"Children, with these materials I am going to teach you how to make some very beautiful paper balloons with which the inauguration of the first school orphanage of the tribe will begin.
Although I would like to say that there will be no more orphanages, there will always be misfortune in our lives, so it is important to be prepared to face them.
I know that many of you suffered a lot when you lost your parents, but I can promise you here and now that I as a wife and mother, that will take care of you and future children who need it.
Well, I have a moral task with all of you, just like Mom Helmi and Dad Einar. Now children follow in my footsteps while I teach you how to create paper balloons."
After giving her little speech, Kassia began to teach them how to make paper balloons, for which she had learned directly from Einar the night before.
Well, she wanted to teach the children a beautiful technique. For their part, Helmi and Einar were in charge of helping her with all the tasks that the children were doing.
Laura, who had quite liked using the pine glue, followed all the instructions that Mom Kassia had given to the letter. From time to time, she received the help of Helmi, who treated her with great care and affection.
For his part, Daven had no problem following in Mommy Kassia\'s footsteps. It just took a while to try to shape the paper balloon.
But for his fortune, Einar, who saw him suffering a little, helped him so that he could finish his balloon quickly and without problems.
When everyone finished making their balloons, Einar gave them some charcoal pencils, so that they made some drawings in which they would have to draw something for their parents.
Well, it is promised that all those paper balloons would reach Valhalla, where their parents could see them and with it would be a way to honor their memory.
All the children had mixed feelings, so it was normal to see some cry and others extremely happy because they could draw something for their parents who had died a long time ago.
While all the children were drawing themselves in different situations, Laura and Daven were a bit different as they drew themselves with a new family.
Einar, Kassia, and Helmi, when they saw the drawings of the two children, shed some tears of happiness, so the three of them decided to advance their conversation with Laura and Daven.
About something that they had been planning for a while and that they had decided as a completely personal measure.
When the children finished drawing on the paper balloon, they wrapped the string around the bottom of the balloon and tied it to the small candles.
"Very well, children, leave your balloons here and enjoy the afternoon that you have completely free. You can go out to play in the tribe or enjoy the view.
But remember that when it begins to get dark, we need you to come back and nothing to leave the walls of the tribe because it is dangerous.
Who dares to go out is going to receive a punishment. Now before you leave, I would like to ask Daven and Laura to stay for a moment. "
All the children who had heard Einar\'s strange order obeyed him and left, leaving Laura and Daven alone.
Laura looked at Papa Einar and her mothers curiously, for she could see strange happiness on their faces and at the same time a little fear.
"Papa Einar, did I do something wrong?"
Einar, upon hearing Laura\'s tender words, stroked her golden hair that she had "Not at all, you and Daven have behaved very well, but after seeing the drawing that your mothers and I have made, we have decided to advance the talk that we promised them in the night.
You see, we\'ve been wondering for a long time if you want to be something more with us, not just have a caregiving relationship ... "
Seeing the confused faces of Daven and Laura, Einar just laughed "What I mean is if you want to be our children, we may not share blood but the bond we have been creating we don\'t want to lose.
I, Kassia and Helmi, want to take care of you until you are of legal age so that you can go about your life without any inconvenience.
We want to be present in all the moments of your life, take care of and protect from you how our children are what we want.
If you agree to start living with us from today and in the future, you will be able to spend time with your brothers and sisters.
But the last decision is yours. What do you say, do you want to be our children? "
Laura and Daven, at that moment, began to cry with happiness.
But it wasn\'t until Laura looked fondly at the three adults in front of her "But Papa Einar, you have always been my father and Kassia and Helmi have always been my mothers.
But I do agree to be your daughter, dad. "
After those words, Daven also said something similar and it was then that Einar, Kassia, and Helmi hugged their children.
