Now what was 3 months of me living here in the healing house, My arm has healed and I learned enough Italian to get by. I rub my hand through my hair with some water. I poured another spurt of water over my head from my water jug. I wipe my face with a drying rag.

I've been slowing the green bottle down to a drink before bed.

And some days I would even forget all about it, so tired out from the days I would go to bed without it.

I threw on my blue short sleeve tunic.

I walked to my room's door and walked out, closing it behind me.

I used the staircase to get to the lower level, once there Asmay had the pouch of coins I needed for the medical supplies. I smiled at her And picked up the pouch from the table then I walked and opened the front door to walk out into the street closing the door behind me. The street was full of people.

The healing house is near the city center, so it was always busy in the streets, rain or shine.

Aside from helping Asmay with whatever she had me do. My job at the healing house,was to go to the vendor and acquire

Medical supplies that we needed for the caregiving aspect.

Bandages, healing herbs, bottles of urine.

Once I arrived at the vendor I asked for the items.

The vendor jokes about the urine bottles,

"you're sure thirsty Hank."

I shook my head "no I need the urine to wash some bloody clothes."

Smiling, the man said "I only kid around. Here my friend please have this plum to show respect to our friendship."

I nodded and took the purple plum.

"Thank-you sir."

The vendor smiled. As he counted the bag of coins I handed him.

I turned and walked back up the street through the crowd, I noticed the usual to old man sitting on the side of the street begging for coins or food. I stopped and handed him the plum and continued walking till I finally reached the healing house. With the medical supplies.

I walked throughout the door.

Asmay smiled, "thanks for grabbing the stuff."

"No problem." I placed the stuff on the table and Asmay went through the items.

Pulling out the herbs for her healing slavs she was crafting.

Standing in the kitchen with Asmay I spoke to her.

"I never asked, why did you help me Asmay?"

"I wanted to help you.

You were laying there on the side of the road bleeding from your broken head and I also noticed you had a fractured arm."

She took a deep breath.

"Being the healer I am, I brought you back to the house with the help of my cousins, you know them."

"Maximus, and Alexander, of course, of course, I met them awhile ago when we travelled to Ephesus, wow it was wonderful there."

"Yes at the time they were traveling back to Rome with me from Ephesus they were coming to help me with the house after my dad was drafted into the war."

I looked at Asmay this whole time I thought she just ran the place.

Asmay looked up at me and handed the healing creams over to me.

" Hank Please can you go place this stuff, on the wounds of the patient. In room four."

"Sure."

I walked up the stair case and down the hall to room four.

I knocked and entered the room of the patient, he was a roman soldier.

With a mortal gash we stitched up across his stomache three nights ago."

"Water.." he spoke through the pain.

I gave him some water lifting the cup to his lips, pouring the small amounts for him to drink.

He laid back an I mentioned to him.

"I'm Hank, can I use this on you."

I showed him the cream and he nodded.

I placed enough of the healing oinment on to cover the wound then I Stood up to walk out the room.

"Don't let them take me back to the war."

I looked back at the man on the bedding as he fell asleep. Then I walked out the room closing the door behind me.

I walked back down the stairs to Asmay.

She was crying in the kitchen.

I walked up to her.

"Asmay is everything alright?"

She wiped her tears and looked me in the eyes with her beautiful green watery eyes.

"I had travelled to Ephesus to see the Oracle who traveled there to give readings."

"She told me I would find my true lover bleeding on the side of the road,but as fast as I would fall in love with him, He would be taken from me."

I took two steps towards Asmay,

"Asmay." I reached to embrace Asmay.

"Stop! Hank, I'm scared, I don't want you to be taken from me, I don't want to lose you or what we have."

"In My passed life I lost everyone I had loved and it was killing me everyday there, the day I woke up here and seen your eyes, it was Asif life had meaning again, for once in a long time someone actually looked at me and gave my existence something to feel, you make me feel like I mean something."

Asmay had a tear fall down her cheek.

"I love you Asmay, nothing can take that away."

Asmay wrapped her hands around my head and started to kiss me, I couldn't help myself I started to embrace her with all my heart.

I took off my tunic and she took off her clothes aswell her beautiful body, Asmay had and athletic body. So the sun light really defined her core muscles as she laid back on the table. I took a moment staring at her and those beautiful tits. I knelt down and put her legs over my shoulders and tasted her beautiful Vigina.

She moved her hand around my hair and moaned, I made sure she felt good from my tounge. I stood up after awhile with my erect member and I entered her slowly enjoying the feel of Asmay. Our eye contact was a feeling of entering ones life force. I could feel her heart beat as I humped into her.

Breathing heavy, she wishpered into my ear. "I love you."

"I love you Asmay."

And I continued to thrust faster and faster, then I ejaculated into Asmay. With a final thrust one of the wooden table legs breaks and the table comes down knocking everything off, the bandages, healing bowls and herbs all fall onto the floor. Making aloud crash. We both got up. I helped Asmay to her feet both of us still naked.

"Oh my what is going,Ohhhh! Sorry."

"Mother, please get out!" Asmay yelled.

I felt dumb and put on my tunic and started cleaning up the mess.

Her mother closed the front door and waited outside.

As we both got fully dressed.

"Did she say she was stopping by today?"

I looked at Asmay with a confused look.

"I don't know."

"Ugh, mother it's ok to come in all is fine."

Asmays older mother walks In.

"I knew that man would give me a grand child sooner or later, I just didn't think you too were gonna make the baby here on the wooden table your father made."

Asmays mother looked at me.

" I suppose you can fix this?"

I nodded and the old woman smiled.

"We'll get too it I wanna eat and you too horn dogs keep it in the room the patients don't need to see that happening at all down here."

"Will do ma." Then I walked out the house, when I got outside I questioned myself "will do ma? Who am I."

I shook my head and walked to the vendor for some repair supplies.

The streets were busy with people carrying goods out from city center and people carrying goods into city center. It was marvelous all the stuff travelled during the day by hand, and at night the noise from horse carriage is so loud, I almost have a hard time sleeping.

I reached the vendor and he was smiling.

"Hank! welcome back, What else can I sell you my friend?"

"I'm looking for some wood tools to repair my table it got old and fell over, you got anything that could help me fix the one leg?"

"Sure do my friend, I got here some nails and some extra timber, that should do the trick."

I handed him the last of my coins I had earned from the work I've been doing at the healing house.

I reached on the vendors till and grabbed the timber and nails then began my carful walk back to the healing house.

As I was walking back I noticed the homeless man was gone. Interesting he's never not sitting there.

"AHHHHHH!" I heard Asmay scream.

I dropped the boards and nails then I started running towards the healing house.

When I got to the entrance of the healing house I could see Roman military taking Asmay by the arms.

"Stop! Where are you taking her I questioned aloud."

The captain turned to me looking me in the face.

"Why, you ask?"

"Cause a pregnant women is no help to the war effort! Take me instead I know just as much as her, if not more!"

The guards look to the Captain who held up his hand, then he waved it." Let her go, were taking this man what is your name?"

"My name is Hank."

"No!" Asmay screamed

I held her tight breathing in the scent of her hair. I whispered in her ear.

" I will come back to you my love, I promise."

Asmay kisses me as we are broken up by the guards and I'm pulled away and down the street looking back at the crying Asmay.
