Dimitrius nodded, Aye, I like that. What shall we do with the pine? Are there any furniture options?"

"Aye, it's all doable," Pulan nodded as he dug through his paperwork and pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to the couple, "On there are the pine furniture options we have here in Winterglade. You may be able to find more over in Elimlee, though."

"When can we have the blueprints laid out?" Ariala asked as she looked over the paper. "I want the house to be built and ready to move into by the wedding." She said, looking back up at Pulan.

"Blueprints are already made for the frame and division of the inside," said Pulan as he handed her four different blueprints, "We can have the blueprints for the individual rooms done by tomorrow after you decide which house you want."

Ariala smiled as she bent to the ground and opened the four sketches onto the dry grass. "Which one do you like?" Ariala asked Dimitrius as she ran her fingers over the different pages. There was one with a large area near the front of the house that she could use for the kitchen and another with four bedroom areas rather then three like all the others.

"Hmm, I like the four bedrooms, it'll give us more room for children," Dimitrius added softly as he placed a light kiss upon her temple, "Which one do you like best? Bedrooms aside since we can always add them on in an addition to the upstairs."

Ariala's brow furrowed as she looked over the designs, the four bedroom house did have a larger kitchen area then the other two sketches. Taking the four designs into her arm, Ariala stood back up and turned to Pulan. "I like the four bedroom design as well." She smiled warmly. "When do you want me to get the construction crew from Elimlee to help? You probably want to consult with them before the actual building process." Ariala smiled.

"Of course," smiled Pulan as he motioned for his second in command to put the chosen blueprint onto a bulletin board to set in front of the work site and work from. Rolling up the unwanted blueprints, Pulan turned back to Ariala, "If they're ready to go today, we can begin cutting the trees immediately once we've discussed everything with them."

"I'll get them." Ariala smiled excitedly as she stood on her toes to give Dimitrius's cheek a soft kiss before whispering, "I'll be back in a few moments."

Running off for Elimlee, Ariala found the head construction worker, Turak, in his office and explained the Winter Elves at the border. Turak eagerly gathered a crew of his men and followed Ariala to the meadow, enthused at seeing a Winter Elf, and greeted the other crew warmly.

"Let's build a house." Turak laughed as he looked over the blueprint. "Is this the final design?" He asked as Ariala made her way back to Dimitrius.

Shaking hands with Turak, Pulan smiled, "Pleasure to meet you. Yes, this is the final design. If you see any irregularities or anything off, be sure to let me know and we'll discuss before fixing it on the blueprint. What we've figured.." Pulan went on as he discussed how wide of an area they were going to need for the house, what trees were going to be used for what, etc.

Dimitrius smiled as he placed a long, tender kiss upon Ariala's lips. "Are you happy with the plans, love?" he asked between kisses.

"Very happy." Ariala smiled as she wrapped her arms around Dimitrius's neck to return his kisses eagerly, tuning out the dull chatter of the construction workers. "I can't wait to have our own house. Especially for the baby." She smiled as she looked down at her flat stomach, not able to get over the shock of having something growing inside of her.

Dimitrius smiled as he placed his hand upon her stomach and caressed it gently with his thumb, "My sentiments precisely, love. Who would have thought we would have conceived so soon," he said happily before teasing with a tender kiss, "Perhaps my idea to wait wasn't such a wretched one as we thought."

"Guess not." Ariala smiled as she stood on her toes to give him a gentle kiss. "And I didn't think it was a wretched idea. I liove being your wife and the less I had to wait the better." Ariala assured him, placing her hand over his on her stomach.

Placing a long tender kiss upon her lips, Dimitrius chuckled, "I know exactly what you mean. Though, I must admit, I'm going to miss our nights together," he whispered against her neck as he placed light kisses along it.

"We'll go back sometime." Ariala whispered as she nibbled his earlobe gently. "Then we can make all new memories." She smiled as she kissed his jaw tenderly.

Bringing her lips back to his as he held her slightly tighter, Dimitrius whispered teasingly between kisses, "Mm, but I don't think I can wait over a year with you tempting me so much."

"Why, I don't know what you're talking about." Ariala said innocently as she curled one of her hands into his hair and sucked gently on his lower lip. "I would never do something like that." She smiled.

Dimitrius chuckled softly as his hand slid into her hair to caress her head as he deepened their kisses. "Really, love? Then it must be your natural charm tempting me, 'cause right now you're completely irresistible and extremely tempting," he murmured against her lips between kisses.

"Maybe I'm just naturally amazing." Ariala smiled devilishly as she returned his kisses eagerly. "And maybe I'm not the only tempting one here." Ariala smiled as she tugged loosely at the hem of Dimitrius's shirt before pulling out of his embrace. "But since we have two constructions crews nearby and Erre with Dimeria in the meadow, I'll just have to let myself be tempted later." Ariala grinned.

Dimitrius laughed as he pulled her in for another passionate kiss before turning to Pulan and motioning him over, "Everything set?"

"Yes, Turak and I just finished planning everything out. We're going to pile the trees according to species in the meadow. once the area is cleared, We're going to start cutting the wood into boards for the house and fence. Have you decided what to use the pine for?" asked Pulan as he looked at Ariala.

"I'm not sure." Ariala said, looking up at Dimitrius. "What do you think?" She asked as she tok one of his hands in her's and entwined their fingers.

"We could always do the trimming and accents with pine," Dimitrius suggested as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

"That sounds perfect." Ariala smiled as she looked back at Pulan. "Can we do that?" She asked, resting her head on Dimitirus's shoulder.

Pulan nodded as he took out his pencil and made a note on his paper, "Aye, it's doable. Now, you're positive this is what you want? Just want to make sure so we don't end up having to rebuild," he added with a chuckle.

Dimitrius nodded, "Aye, this is what we want, right love?" he asked softly as he placed a tender kiss upon her head.

"Right." Ariala said happily before taking her hand out of Dimitrius's and wrapped her arms around Pulan's shoulders and into a warm hug. "And thank you." She smiled before moving back to Dimitrius's side. "What should we do now?" Ariala asked Dimitrius as she slipped an arm around his waist.

"Well, since we'd be in the way of the crews if we stay, we'd best head home, unless you want to visit anyone before we go home?" Dimitrius as as he put his arms around her waist and placed a light kiss on her forehead. Leaning close to her ear, Dimitrius suggested in a teasing whisper, "Or we could leave Dimeria with Erre for a little while and let her play for awhile while we have some time to ourselves."
