Kara sighed with relief and smiled at Hallbjorn when he called her his wife and mate. She chuckled a bit when he brought up his last name, then shook her head. “I didn't even think to ask you what your last name is. I guess that means we still have plenty to learn about each other. I'll keep Walker for now, because its easiest and I don't want to forget my parents.”<br/><br/>She frowned slightly, because talking of her parents reminded her of the choices she needed to make. Kara loved her parents deeply, and did not want to give them up. Her friends she could give up, and in fact found it easier to do then she thought. She would say goodbye to the people at the senior center, and probably Butch, her old boss, as well. But giving up her parents saddened her.<br/><br/>Kara pushed that sadness aside, because they still had plenty of time. Hallbjorn's question brought a smile to her lips, and Kara closed her eyes for a moment as she thought. When she opened her eyes, there was a fondness in her expression.<br/><br/>“When I was a little girl, my mother bought me a tea set, because I loved having tea parties with her. I kept the tea set, because it was beautifully made and while I don't have tea parties anymore,” since her friends had scoffed such things, “I always want to remember those times that I shared with my mother. I would definitely bring that.”<br/><br/>Kara ate another bite of her pasta before continuing. “Then there are my pictures. I have pictures of me and my parents, and pictures of me growing up that I'd like to keep. Though, the one of me in the bathtub as a baby, I'm not so sure I want you to see that one.” She winked at him playfully.<br/><br/>“There is my baby blanket, which is the only thing I have from my birth mother. I want to keep that with me.” Kara didn't need to explain the importance of that, since she knew Hallbjorn would understand. She ate a bit more as she made a mental list of what else she wanted to bring.<br/><br/>“My clothes, because they are all in good condition and it would feel odd to leave them there. Also, I have a slew of text books from all of the different college courses I took, that would help fill up our library nicely.” Then she added, “And I do have some jewelry. Its nothing fancy, but there are pieces that mean a lot to me. Like the necklace my father gave me for a father-daughter dance we attended in middle school.”<br/><br/>When she looked down at her plate, Kara found that she'd finished her dinner. Upon seeing that Hallbjorn had finished his as well, she asked him, “Shall we do the dishes together?”
