Greg was in his dress uniform as they loaded everyone into his parent's cars. Both had minivans for the younger ones that they had. He got into his car. He smiled as he followed his parents to the local university, and he parked in the back lot, and then he started to where he would be sitting with her uncle. He was steading himself for that.
When he saw the small group that was waiting for him. He also noticed that people were looking at him. Kenshin smirked as he looked at his uniform. "I can't believe you chose to wear that."
"Well, I did just get home. "Greg said as he put out his hand to shake the older man's hand. The little kids were there around his legs waiting to be hugged. He lifted them all up to look at them, and they giggled and laughed.
"Well, not really just got home," Kenshin said as he looked at the younger man. "She told me."
"She did?" Greg asked. He was really surprised.
"Despite the differences between us, she is
Greg stood off to the side at the party. He was thinking of everything that still needed to be done quickly. He had one thing he really wanted to do right now, but he wanted to do it in private. He knew what the answer would be. He knew that she was his future. He had always known that.Everything and everyone was a little too much for him at the moment. He was getting antsy. He looked at his father, who was running around playing with one of the kids. He looked at his mother and then at his sisters and their families. He knew what he wanted in life. He wanted it all right now."How’s it good to be out of the warzone?” His father’s old boss asked as he smiled at boogs in his uniform.“Who said I was out of it.” Greg laughed. “right now, it feels like I am still there.”“We all understand that feeling.” He said with a laugh. “If you need some air go get it. You probably
Greg drove to the new house he had signed for hours before he had seen her again today. He watched her as her eyes widened. “What is this?” She asked.“Hopefully, our first place.” He said as he got out and met her at the door of the house.“What?” she asked.“I told you things happened fast when I asked my parents for a little help.” Greg laughed. “Here is your key.”“Are you serious?” She asked as he handed her the key. She unlocked the door and was amazed at how the house opened up.“There is a second and third floor, really. This is like a gaming room or something.” Greg said, and she was racing up the stairs. She was standing in the middle of the main room when he caught up to her. She saw the air mattress and everything else that was there for them to use for the night. “Do you like it?”“I love it.” S
Four days later, the group stood on the front lawn of the Uesugi house. There were cars lined up and down the street. As the couple stood there and watched as their families all were happy along with friends and all the kids playing together, Morgana’s parents showed up. “no.” was all she said.“Morgana? “Greg asked as he looked down at his wife and saw her expression change. He looked up and saw her eyes on a well-dressed, somewhat fancy older couple walking up to them. “Those are your parents?”“Yes. “She said as she could breathe again.“Morgana. It is time to pack up and come home with everyone else. Ah, Kenshin.” Her mother said as she looked behind Morgana to her uncle, “It is time to have everyone in their rightful place, and the kids come home.”“Well, my home is here,” Morgana said as she looked at her mother and father, who were
All eyes turned and looked at the new arrival. The rain had made most of the people not even bothering to come to the second annual Alone unValentine event as the guys at the building were calling it. The group of fifteen or so men all looked her over and were surprised she had ventured out in the rain to come. It was out of her office, which she seemed more apt to hide in than socialize with them.“I can’t believe she is here.” one of the guys said softly, just loud enough for the group as a whole could hear over the music. They all had their drinks, and though it was supposed to be an event for the specialized teams, it seemed more of a Friday night get-together. Everyone had stayed in their own groups that were made up of people they worked with or knew for years. There were a few younger ones who tried to mix in though they often left the group within a short amount of time.The woman who had just walked in and looke
“A young man to surprise?” she asked.“He isn’t expecting me,” Mark replied with almost a glee underlying in his voice.“No, he is probably not expecting you or someone like you,” she replied. She looked up at him and had to smile. She had seen this man many times outside her office. She knew she could daydream about him without letting people know she was doing anything other than working. She had done that many times. She didn’t think he of all of them would offer to help her in any way, though. She thought he would run as far away from her as fast as he could, just like the others who showed a little interest in her only to find out she had kids. She knew what she had given up. She knew better than anyone else.“Like me?” he prompted.“What?” she asked as she was lost in her own thoughts.“You said he wouldn’t expect someone like me,” he repli
Gina’s actions spoke to her more than anything else. She knew then what Mark had been looking over to the others and saw. She was about to lose it. Mark sensed the oncoming storm and whispered something to boogs as he placed him on the ground, and then he wrapped his arms around her.“It’s okay. I promise it is okay,” he whispered in her ear.“She wasn’t at his house,” she said softly.“No.,” he said back. “Look, they are with the kid's father, right? That has to mean something.”“It depends on which father,” she said.“What do you mean by that?” he asked.“He has two dads. One of them is perfectly normal. He fits in with people who can talk to them and has no issues. The other is weird. Something about him was off. Reena thought so and would never do anything if that one was going to be the other drive
“I need a map of the area,” she said as she had completely changed as they went outside into the crisp cold air.“Krissy?” Mark asked as he saw the change in her.“This is what I do in my office, Mark,” she said. “You guys go out and do things. I research and make deductions between all of our skill sets. We can at least look for her while the cops waste time and ask questions.”“Good plan.” the leader said as he walked by. “Get her the maps.”Soon they were all at the back of someone’s pickup truck, and she was pouring over one of the maps and then another. She repeated the process a few times as she began to think. Someone lit a cigarette around her, and her head popped up. “Can I have one of those?” she asked.“You smoke?” one of them asked.“Not normally.” she said, “Unless I am completely st
The twenty-minute drive was hell for her as she watched her daughter go in and out of conciseness. She sat back and let them do what they could for her. She watched them unload her quickly and rush her into the emergency section. As the doctors and nurses all crowded around Reena working on her, she stepped back and Saw Mark being rushed in as well. His color was coming back, and he wasn’t shivering anymore. Though he was wrapped in a thermal foil sheet, and his shirt was off.“This isn’t how I planned on showing you everything,” he said.“Your making jokes. You must be feeling better,” she said with a hint of a smile. The doctors and nurses were not rushing to him as the emt’s told them he was already responding. They placed him in the hallway.“How is she doing?” he asked.“I don’t know,” she said, and he reached his hand out to her.

When Gina got there, she looked over the two men and laughed. "go." She said as she watched over the younger ones along with her own kids. She went into the Kitchen and began to get some meals for the family. Everything was going to busy for the next few days. Though she was a baker, she was married to a cook. She had learned a few tricks.The two men went to go look at the places after Mark sweet-talked some people into giving them the keys. He was ready to jump when they looked in the first place. Greg looked around, and then he walked up the stairs. "Dad, this has four bedrooms.""Yes, and you will need that many." Mark laughed. "Do you know how hard I had to work to get you the chance at a huge place?""I know," Greg said as he looked around. "Thank you. I like this one, and I think she would as well.""Are you sure?" Mark asked. "We can look at the others.""This one," Greg said as he looked around."I figure
The morning came too soon. Greg got up and walked downstairs. He saw there were things all ready for him to go through. "Why are these boxes here?""Because I think it is time for you to move out," Mark said with a smile."Well, that is the plan," Greg said."No, I mean today," Mark said with a huge grin. "I made a few phone calls this morning. I have so many more contacts than even your mother but don't ever tell her that.""Dad, what did you do?" Greg asked. He walked into the Kitchen and knew he needed coffee for this. He really had no idea what his father had done."Well, I thought about what I said last night. This was actually your mother's idea." Mark said."Mom wants me to move out?" Greg asked as he took a sip of his coffee."Well," Mark said."No, I don't." Krissy said as she entered the room. "However, I know what you have to have to get the kids.""The kids?" Greg asked."That is the poin
"give me a few hours to think everything through. This is not something that we can rush." Greg said as he looked at her. Everything needed to fall into its place. "The biggest thing is you have to act like you haven't seen me, and we don't have anything up our sleeves.""I think I can do that," Morgana said as she looked at him. "Greg, I will do anything to keep them away from the neglect they will suffer at the hands of our parents.""I know." He said as he hugged her close. "Are your parents coming here tomorrow?""I don't think so." She said as she looked at him. "They have never thought to do anything for them or me unless they wanted something.""That works in our favor," Greg said. "I am going to go home and think about this some more on what we can realistically do.""Whatever, Greg." She said as she nodded, "I will do whatever remember that.""I completely understand that." He said as he kissed her forehead. "Go get so
The two were locked together, and they both knew that things were changing really quickly between them. The kiss deepened even more, and soon they had lost track of time. Greg pulled up first though he really didn't want to. "As much as I want this to continue, I can't let it.""Why not?" Morgana asked as she looked at him and his large green eyes."First off, you deserve a lot more than something quick in the back of a car." Greg laughed. "Let alone my dad's car at that. Your uncle might be okay and all, but I doubt he would let me stay with you tonight, and my house is full to the brim with people.""I see your point." Morgana laughed. "So what happens now?""Well, the best thing I can think of is in the morning I will get my car, and then I will see you at your graduation. I know you probably have plans afterward." Greg said as he ran his fingers down her cheek as he looked into her eyes."Actually, I don't. I think m
After everyone packed up, and it was just the family. Krissy went off to herd all the little ones to bed. They all were wound up and not ready for it, but they wouldn't give their mother too much trouble. They would play with Mark until they fell asleep. Greg looked at the organized chaos and shook his head."Looks like a chow hall." Mark said as he chuckled. "if it was something good.""Well, I do have to think you might be right." Greg laughed. "I was thinking it was more like boot camp.""Well, your mother is a drill sergeant at times," Mark said with another deep chuckle. "So I will go help her in a bit. She knows I would give in to them, but after the second time they are out of bed, they will listen if I look at them a certain way. That is coming up soon. So here.""Why are you giving me your keys?" Greg asked as he looked at the item his dad was handing over."Surprise or not, we both know you are going across tow
