2024-10-29 19:42:56She was tired by noon. She found that they worked well as they compromised with the things they had to do. The first thing was switching her phone to a new plan. She knew that she had to do that, and it was on the forefront of her mind the morning while they waited for different stores to open. She didn’t want to add to any bills for him, and though they had discussed it, she was unprepared for how he handled it when they walked in.
They had talked about the basic things before they had left the house. He kept trying to get her to understand it would be less expensive for them if he just added her to his plan. He knew that a single phone was almost twice as much as it would be to add a phone to an existing plan. She didn’t want to be too entwined, but he knew this was it. Though they had a few things to work out, he knew that this was his life now. She hadn’t realized it just yet. They had moved quickly, but their human side did n

“What?” she asked, confused as she looked around for the person who had yelled ‘Mr. Bridger” out. All she could say was it was female. Though by his reaction, she thought it had to be someone he really didn’t like too much. It had to be a student to call him Mr. Bridger, though. That was something she didn’t know how to handle. The area was considered a small town. Most people did know each other or at least someone in someone’s family. It seemed the whole area was connected somehow.“Did you not pay attention to anyone in your class?” he asked with a laugh. “Out of all my students, this one was the one who liked causing drama the most, and she was in your class. This is not going to be fun.”“Oh. Wonderful.” Kristen said. Greg was unlocking the door. He opened the door for her to get in though he was standing right there close to her. He knew that he might actually have to use

An hour into the shopping, Kristen was amazed as to the number of things that teachers had to do to get their classrooms ready. She was looking at some of the posters, now having more of an idea as to what he was teaching for the subject. They had found a few posters to put up in the room and some paper to cover some of the other walls with a border that he could change throughout the year. That way, things could be redone rather quickly, and he wouldn’t be stuck coming up with new ideas every few months. It was all laid out for him right now.She had gone into one of the other grades and had found the ladders that she had talked about. Though she looked them over, she thought it would be okay to get only one. The movable parts could be the classes instead of doing one for each student. They were middle schoolers and not little kids. She had to remind him a few times. It was a difficult age to be in because they were not little kids, but they were not yet

“So she works for you?” the man chuckled.“Yes,” Greg said. “She isn’t a student anymore, no conflict. Please remember that I teach sixth grade now. I don’t teach in the high school any longer.”“I see.” The older man said. He knew that he could not really say anything to Greg in this. It was well known among most of the teachers in the high school that the man had his favorite students every year. Though no one had proof of the possible affairs, they were there and happening in the school. “I think that middle school will be good for you.”“I hope so,” Greg said as the man walked away.“What was that about?” Kristen asked as she looked at Greg. She knew more had been said without the use of words. Though she might not have understood things the way they had happened, she did know that Greg had staked his claim on her in front of the man. Sh

Watching Greg shop was something like a horror movie for Kristen. She knew that he had not been like her when she saw him pick something up and then throw it in the cart. He moved through the store as if he had known where everything was, but he acted surprised when he found something new. It was a wake-up for her that he just enjoyed life to the fullest most days. He enjoyed looking at things as well. She normally knew exactly what she was there for and only went to get that.Though there wasn’t a lot that he needed to get at the store, he still looked at nearly everything, “Some times you see something you didn’t know you wanted or needed. We have the time today, so why not enjoy it. When we get home, you can take a nap.” He chuckled as they continued to walk around. “Last time I was here, I found these cool pens and got them. They turned out to be the best type of pen I have ever used. So I count that as a win.”&ldq

“We do need some, but I wanted to explain it to you in a way that could make sense. With my shirts alone, we need something strong to get the stains out. I tend to be rough on my clothes even when I try really hard to not be.” He said with a laugh. “So something like this works, but I figured maybe you knew some Jedi trick or something.”“Why because I am female?” She asked as she met his eyes. Though he never said anything to the fact she had seen him defer to women on a lot of things in the past. She had to wonder if he thought it wasn’t unnoticed.“No. it is because you have been on your own since you were born.” He said. “I figured you probably knew things that I don’t know because you had to find out the hard way how to do things. I don’t mind helping or whatever. But I do know that you have had a much different life than I have. One that was harder, and you probably know a lot m

The words she said lingered in his head for hours after they got home. She was in the room that was hers, but he hoped she never really used. She was unboxing things. Though she was trying to figure out where to place them as he walked in and saw that the closet was now filled with clothes that he thought were all too big for her. Understanding that she had not been the one to pick out the things she wore was a big thing to him. She probably needed some more things for herself that she could pick out. That was for another time, though. They would start off slow for her new wardrobe.He was propped on the door jam watching her work as she noticed him standing there. She continued knowing that he would either say something or continue to watch her. She wanted to get at least two more boxes done and emptied before she started on their dinner. He had limited food in the house, and they had discussed the next day going and getting more.

“What?” She asked as she placed the phone on speaker. She looked up to Greg and knew he was slightly surprised that she spoke like that. It wasn’t like her. He knew then how tired and worn out she really was.“Are you done with this farce?” Her mother asked. “I don’t know how you got all your stuff out of the house, but it is time to come back and end this little stunt you are playing. I mean, Kristen, we all know you aren’t with a man. It is simply impossible to think about. That is how we should have known you were lying last night.”“Mom, it isn’t a stunt,” Kristen said. “I moved out. I am fine, and right now, I am unpacking, so I am a little busy and tired.”“Who was that man we talked to last night?” her mother demanded.“That is Greg,” Kristen said. She was careful not to say his last name. Knowing that her mother could have poss

Greg held her in the open kitchen and living room as she cried. He knew she was letting go of all the past. It had hit her all at the same time. Yesterday had been hard, but she didn’t really process any of it. Now she had no choice. Her mother had pushed her too far. She had to do that to be able to move forward with him. Though he knew her mother was trying to get under her skin and doubt herself and him. It made him furious in so many ways. She didn’t know him or what he believed. It was then he knew without a doubt that this was the right thing for them both. The fact her mother had tried this route was speaking volumes. He was angry but not for himself. Kristen had her life run by this woman. At the first chance, Kristen had to find her own way. This woman did this and had the chance to be happy and away from them taken from her. Gently he moved her to the couch and held her against him as he moved the pair to lay down. She was prop

Though the boys were early, they were of a good size, and neither of them had to stay in the hospital longer than a normal birth. Greg was beaming with pride as he helped her out of the car to go home. He then got both car seats out of the car. Though he knew that his parents were itching to see the twins, he wanted a few days of just them, and he had told his parents that. He knew that they need a few more days to adjust to the newest additions to their family. Kristen was sore, but she was looking like she had used to. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her as she walked in front of him. Though she was still slightly swollen, and she was also curvier than she once was, he thought she was even more beautiful now than she had ever been. He knew how much he loved her when they were in the hospital. Now he could show her more openly. She opened the door, and he walked in behind her and closed the door with his foot. He place

Kristen spent most of the day lying on the couch or trying to watch things on the television. Though she knew the twins needed more time to grow but she secretly wanted them out. The energy they produced at times was too much for her to take as she could feel it in her bones and all around her in everything she did. It was becoming overwhelming to her more and more as she felt she was losing herself within the energy. Though when she said as much out loud, they both seemed to tone it back. They were always there making themselves known to the world or at least their parents.Greg was helping her with even the most basic of things now. She hated relying on him for anything. However, she knew she had too. She had to let him help. It was the only real-time that she could feel anything but the twins when he was around. So when the pains started right before he got home one Friday evening. She knew it was time to finally meet the twins that had been gro

As the weather started to turn warm, Kristen hated the thought of moving too much. The weight she had gained now only in a few sections of her body was just too much for her tiny frame to handle for any period of time while standing. She continued to go to class, but she was able to finish early for most of them. She had smiled as she talked to her teachers, explaining the situation to them, and they all understood. Everyone had understood at the university, which allowed her to take all her tests early, and she was officially done with her first year in college and also some of her second years as well. She was more on track them most students were for any degree. Though she had an idea of what she wanted to do, she was debating with herself as well.Greg was still working hard at his classes though he often would call home in between his classes to make sure she was okay. He would smile at his students as they walked in and would

Greg settled into the bed and again knew he was trying to search within himself for the answers he now needed to have. He began to drift off to sleep. She was now comfortable next to him now. She was now fast asleep. Greg could feel the weightless feeling that was there as he passed over to the sleep realm. Somehow he knew that this was going to be different. Something was going to happen.With a blinding light, he was standing next to Tok again. Greg looked him over and saw that nothing had seemed to change for the being that was there. He did have a slight smile on his face, though. “Welcome back,” Tok said as he looked over the man. “This time, you actually brought yourself here.”“How did I do that?” Greg asked as he looked at the being who went to sit down on the ground. Greg followed his lead and sat down on the ground in front of the being. He wanted to see what he could do to further his learning of their past.

“Do you ever think about what we had to get through to get here and then to meld with humans? What if we weren’t compatible. How much of a waste would that have been?” She asked one night as they lay in bed. Greg chuckled as he rubbed her back with one arm, and the other hand was resting on where the twins were kicking. The whole process of them growing in her still amazed him in a way he didn’t know he cared about. After learning how to teach the reproductive cycle to younger kids and high schoolers, he did think he would ever really care to experience it like this. Now that he was, it was completely different. This was his wife, and these were his children. It still took his breath away that all of this was real. He was enjoying it more than anything else in his life.“You know, I never really thought about it like that,” Greg said as his baritone voice filled the room in the darkness of the ro

Greg helped Kristen to the car, and they took off. He was surprised at how completely different this night had been than the one before it. She had shined all night, and it came through more and more. It was like a side to her had to be reawakened, and it was now. “Why did you stand up for us like that?” he asked softly.“It was easy, Greg. It was like I had a vision of how much your mom and sister thought they could control you through the way they treated me.” Kristen said as he took her hand in his as they drove back to the apartment. “I have dealt with much worse than those two, and I know how much you wanted to have them in your life and how much it would hurt you. I couldn’t allow that. Just like you won’t let someone hurt me. I won’t let them hurt you. I figured it was just the way to go.”“Kris, I do want them in our lives but not at your expense.” He

Greg looked at his small wife, who was standing next to him, as did his father on the other side. Everyone in the room went completely silent as Kristen stared back at his mother, who was clearly shocked that the woman next to her son did indeed have a backbone. She nodded slightly, only enough for the younger woman to see. “Good. Now that we have that settled.” Kristen said. “I don’t think that we will have to bring anything like that up again.”His mother looked at her, and Kristen smiled. There was something in the smile that made even his mother want to take a step back. Greg was slightly afraid of his wife for a second, as well as being proud of her for being able to do something like that. He had never seen someone stand up to his mother that way and without even raising their voice. His parents had fought a few times, but it was not like that. His father often just gave in to his mother on whatever she was going

Greg shook his head. He didn’t want this to be happening. However, when he looked at his mother, he saw it right in front of him. His father probably had no clue and didn’t know that he was being used as a pawn for his wife. Greg felt his own energy change in a way it never had before. He also felt the babies reacting to his change. He had to calm down. The simple fact he was the one who was causing the change in the babies scared him. They knew he was angry, beyond angry.Kristen was looking at him. She knew something wasn’t right, but it wasn’t until he was almost pulsing with a different type of energy that she knew he was beyond mad and upset. She took his hand in hers quickly. The other woman watched as it seemed the small gesture calmed her son. He had focused on her tiny hand touching his. She was still his center. She would always be his center from now on, and he knew that. As soon as he felt her tiny fingers rubbing his hand, he

The next night they were back in front of his parent's house. He wasn’t too happy that this was happening again, but he was willing to try because Kristen had asked him to. He got out of the car with a sigh and knew that he was going to be on high alert the entire night. He helped Kristen out of the car and then walked up to the door and rang the bell. His mother was the one who answered, “Why didn’t you come in?”“Because this is not my home anymore,” Greg said as he shrugged off his coat and then helped Kristen out of hers. His mother looking at the smaller woman and seeing how her son doted on her. She couldn’t be sure until the children were born, but she felt something was off about her. Kristen looked up to her and saw the look on the other woman’s face. Kristen knew then something was not right here. She was watching Kristen like she was the worst thing that could have happened to her son. Kristen let out a
