That was not until December twenty-third. She had told him that she had an appointment and he asked if she wanted him there.Blushing everywhere that he could see, and he could see a lot of her, she shook her head no. Now, as she walked into Jolene’s room, she wished he had gone. Helen smiled at the two guards that were at the door of her daughter’s room.“Is everything okay?” Helen asked as they both stood up.Nichols smiled at her. “Yes, ma’am, Miss Helen. The family is in there and we were just giving some privacy.”“Oh, thank you.” She said placing her hand on the handle.“Miss Helen,” Nichols said nervously. “I want to apologize.”Turning towards him, she looked at him, confused. “For what?” She was already emotional and was afraid that she would start crying.“
Mermaid Thighs Chapter 82: Christmas
You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them. – Desmond TutuThe ornate grandfather clock from England chimed the midnight hour in the formal living room. Or as Dean called it, the special guest living room. Other than a few special occasions, she couldn’t think of a time that they had used that room. Unlike Reese’s house, this one was two levels. The top floor was the more formal part of the house. It had formal dining and living rooms, chef’s kitchen, billiards and game room, a mother-in-law suite and a media room. All precisely decorated and rarely used. From the front, it looked like a single-story house with the second story being built inside the hill. The lower level was where they lived. Except for the large deck that extended the length and about half the width of the lower level. Whenever they had a princess party, it was typically on the deck. The perpetually decorated deck was large, mostly covered and looked over the pool. The heated poo

When everything goes to hell, the people who stand beside you without flinching – they are your family. – Jim ButcherNeo knew that Shelby would be pissed at him. And he was willing to live with that. He was also certain that she would eventually forgive him. Pretty certain that she would. Or she would kill him. It was a fifty-fifty chance at this point. Then again, that was just about every day of his life. It was a good day when everyone made it home at the end of the day. While he was a police officer in the Marines, there were several days that not everyone came home. Those days still hung heavy over him. But today, Christmas day, was not going to be influenced by those days.Today, he was going to focus on the woman who kept his office running so smoothly. And the little boy who can make his whole staff pitch in to guarantee the best Christmas ever. Although, right now, it probably seemed like the worst.Neo knocked on the black door with the green wreath on it. Shelby opened

Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticize anyway. – Eleanor RooseveltIt quickly became obvious that the hospital president did not know Reese as well as the administrator did. Jon, the president, told him it was a logistical nightmare. Robert, the administrator, asked for an apple pie.It was an all-volunteer staff from his three restaurants and two of his clubs that prepared the meals. Between them, they made enough food for every hospital staff member to receive a full Christmas dinner. And an apple pie just for Robert. Reese made sure that all his princesses knew that Helen and her family wanted some time to themselves. Early in the morning, he went to wake up Dean and she wasn’t in her bed. He found the two teens snuggled up together in JD’s bed.Before Reese, Cheryl and Dean went to join them at the hospital, nis niece crawled into his lap and again he was reminded that she was still a child. “How are you doing, princess?” he asked as they sat on his

Mermaid Thighs Chapter 86: Princess Party
It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters but who’s around it. – Charlie BrownThirty minutes after Monster invaded, Reese’s princesses were still laughing at JD as they gathered around the pool. The sun sails stayed up year-round protecting the pool and sitting area. The heat in the pool was turned up slightly causing it to give off a little steam in the cool air. The outdoor fireplace was roaring, and the portable heaters kept the whole area cozy.Reese walked out with his arms loaded with presents, he was followed by his princess’ husbands and boyfriends who were also carrying presents. Starting with the younger girls, he handed them out. Once the gifts were all distributed, the men went inside the big house and played pool and darts upstairs.Each gift, or more accurately, each stack of gifts, was picked for each princess. Even the wrapping paper matched their personality. Disney characters were abundant. As were snowflakes, reindeer and snowmen. Dean received a new

Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. – George AddairThree days after the Princess Party, Cheryl and Waylon flew back out to Colorado. Dean and JD had gone over to Jolene’s new apartment to paint the walls with Jaxon. Certain that they would not be disturbed, Helen walked into the living room carrying a large gift bag. She sat on the couch next to Reese and sat the bag in his lap. He placed his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. Smiling, he kissed the top of her head. “What do you have there, Kitten?”She blushed slightly. “I didn’t know what to get you.”“You don’t have to give me anything.” He tipped her face up to him and kissed her lightly. “All I need is you.”“Good. That’s what I got you.”“Are you telling me that you put yourself in this bag?” He asked as he ran his finger along her day collar.“Not exactly.” She blushed brighter. “You’re blushing, sweetheart.” Reese murmured softly. Her blushes drove him crazy. Every one of them sent his i

Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Make it a good one. – Brad PaisleyHelen and her kids had always stayed up together on New Year’s Eve. This year was no different. The situation was different. But the traditions remained the same. Dick Clark was gone, but they still watched the ball in Times Square. Jolene didn’t have anyone to kiss at midnight. Ty offered.“It would be like kissing my brother-in-law.” She said hoarsely. “And don’t even offer, Reese. You’re practically my stepdad.”“I wasn’t going to offer myself. I would offer one of your guards, but it’s all hands-on deck. Cheryl’s brothers are in town.”“What about Neo?” Dean asked with a grin. “Who’s Neo?” the night nurse, Violet, asked. Like the other nurses, she wore a superhero scrub shirt and black pants. “Snake tattoo.” Dean said, motioning to her left hand. “He’s hot.” Violet said and fanned herself with her papers. “Hell, yeah he is.” Bunny agreed. “Like make a straight guy gay and a lesbian straig
