At least that is what he was hoping for, but knowing this family as well as he did, he knew what they were. If Deanna realized she wasn’t reacting to it as he looked down at her. He was trying to stay focused, but the more he looked around, the more he wondered at the woman next to him and how she had wiped this mostly from her memory. The low light of the candles that lined the walls though he realized they were the type that was battery operated, but he could see they were newer. The dried wax was running down the walls in places in long strips. It added to the idea that this place was never really found by anyone else before.
The other stains on the wall were there, and he had an idea as to what they were. As he looked around, he waited to see these other people that were here, but Max had begun to think he had already see

Max looked at the three small girls and wondered what universe he had walked into though he knew whatever the person who had a hand in raising them as they had been raised to believe in a much higher purpose for themselves and everyone around them. Deanna looked at him and smiled softly as she looked back at the smaller girls. She nodded to them as her smile got bigger, “He is exactly that, my shining knight.”“Well.” Max started to say, but she cut him off, “Are there any more in here?”“Of course, there are.” The smallest of the girls replied. “We must always be at seven or thirteen.”“And how many are there?” Max asked.“Thirteen with all of us.” The little girl looked up to him.“Why tho

“Could they be Henry’s sisters?” Max asked as he looked at the two closer. “They are the same size if not a bit smaller, and they have the same eyes. Deanna, I think they are.”“Triplets?” Deanna asked as she looked at him. “Samra didn’t say anything about more than one when I went to Winter Haven. She said she had to make sure he was okay, not they were okay.”“But if she had already made plans for them to be taken care of by her uncle, she wouldn’t care, would she?” Max asked. “I mean, we aren’t dealing with a normal birth either.”“Max, my parents had to file papers for Henry when he was born and then adopted. They are in my father’s desk. We should go and see.” Deanna said as she propped the toddler on her side,

Max sat there and answered all of the questions that the social worker asked as he helped the two little girls finish their plates as Deanna sat behind one of them, helping her as well. As soon as the toddler was done Deanna got up and went over to the other bunch of girls in her mind she had dubbed the flowers. She smiled at everyone. “Was it good?” Deanna asked as she sat down with them and looked around.“Yes.” She heard as each of the girls spoke and nodded their heads.“Good.” Deanna smiled. “These people that are here right now are going to be asking you some questions, and they will have you taken to the hospital. Doctors are there and will be checking you out, and then they will find some nice people for you to stay with. Some of you might be together, but we will have to see. Soon I will be there to vis

As she walked through the front door she felt the cool air of the season and let it fill her lungs. It felt good but she could feel the two little girls shiver in her arms. Deanna smiled as she walked back into the house and to one of the closet doors. She opened it and pulled out a jacket and two smaller ones that were for adults but they would be fine to wrap the girls in. She put hers on and then lifted the two in her ams and they wrapped their little arms around her neck as she wrapped the jacket around them.When they got outside she sat down and both girls huddled in front of her on her lap. She had wrapped the jackets around the two of them and soon both of them were fast asleep in her arms propped up on her chest. The social worker walked passed her and smiled as she then sat down on the grass near Deanna.

Mitchel walked over and looked at the small woman in his son’s arms. He shook his head as he looked at his wife who was still standing on the porch and looked like she was going to cry as well. The older man knew how much simple words could ruin a relationship. Though he was not known for his encouragement or his kind words he looked at his son who was doing better than he ever did.“She didn’t take her meds today. The morning one or the evening one.” Mitchel said softly. “We have had a few issues with her doing it. I am sorry Deanna that you happened to be the one she targeted today. Normally it is me.”“It isn’t your fault.” Deanna said as she sniffled slightly.“But it is in a way.” Mitchel said. “Maximillian you are a better man than I am that is for sur

“Maximillian Anderson you are a huge pain you know that? You had me scared you didn’t want us here with that look and the I think we need to talk thing. Why did you go in the front door instead of coming through here?” Deanna turned on him as he hugged her.“Cause it was closer and the garage door was open but you were trying to breathe for a minute.

As they looked over the crowd that had gathered he leaned closer to her, “I said small by the way. I had no idea.”“It is fine.” She said as she smiled up at him. She smiled at the crowd that was making their way up to the pair. She saw the other flower girls and smiled at them. Her aunts were here with their new families as well. “how?”“I have no idea.” Max said with his grin. “it is just a magical day when a human marries the elf queen.”“I don’t get you.” She said as she shook her head and he laughed. The first wave of people finally had made it to them. As Max introduced her to his extended family one by one she smiled and was true to form in being the nicest person in the world. After the first wave the second came upon them. These people she alr

After getting the girls ready Deanna sat on the bed knowing Max was getting himself and Henry ready in some other place in the house. She looked at the mirror in Max’s old bedroom and she smiled as she got in her dress. Her hair was another story. As she brushed it out the natural waves came through and she smiled as she knew anything she tried to do to it was going to fail.She applied the light make up she had chosen and then brushed the hair again as it was drying. When she placed the veil on her head along with the metal leafed crown that Max had insisted on because of course she was the elfin queen and she had to look her part for the day. As she smiled when Marie had knocked and opened the door at her answer.“You look so beautiful.” She said as she looked at Deanna with approving eyes. The older woman looked to be on the verge of tears. “I know that this

When they woke up in the morning they tried to keep the kids on the schedule thy normally stayed with for the mornings before work. Everyone was dressed in normal clothes and Max had already taken the outfits for the ceremony out to the car. Everything was now packed up including travel beds and treats along with meals. The day was ready to begin for real now.Deanna went into the car after they got the kids in it and was sitting there ready for the day. Still a little tired from the night before as they had enjoyed the last night of being single. Max smiled at her and started the drive. Though it would take an hour he was fine with the relative silence in the van.His parents house would be a staging area for them. They would unload the van from their stuff for the day and then they would pile up back into it to set up for the day. Then they would retu

Max led the way to the car after putting the portable cribs back in his office. It was always a hassal of lugging the cribs back and forth but he wasn;t willing to leave Deanna for any amount of time where he couldn’t act if he had too. The news had hit about the Watson siblings and that added to the frenzy around the orginal case. She was still very much in the crosshairs. Max wasn;t willing to budge on the fact he needed to be there around her and he had to be armed as well.He would gladly protect her from any of the possible threats that could happen. Though for the most part people seemed to respect her privacy and didn’t ask to many questions some thought it was okay to dig deeper into her life. Soon one element would be erased. It was a beginning to end the nightmare that had surrounded the two.Max was more surprised when he received

The next few days flew by as they settled into a new routine. Max was doing the barest minimum for the class. The students all noticed and more than a few had questioned him about it. The office hours had been cut and the lectures had become almost boring as Max spent more time holding one of the kids than he spent talking to the students.“I know that you all were interested in the class however things have come up and we will not be continuing like we were before. I know in the beginning of the year I explained how I want all of you here for each lecture. Now the only thing that will really be required is that you show up for the exams and the final.” Max said as one of the students looked at him and asked what was really going on.“So you are finding that letting your TA and her kids into your life a little too much?” one of the girls asked from the second r

She yawned as they got in the van after putting the kids down. He smiled to himself knowing the reason she was so tired lately and for once it really didn’t have to do with the family she had left behind. It was the family they were building together. The baby would be the one to unite them completely though it didn’t matter to much to him. it was more about the life they were building together. The baby was just a symbol of the love he had for her and the reverse was also true.She had walked into his life three times and changed it each time. The only student he was ever attracted to and the one who had his heart and had taught him that he could love. She had given him a purpose in life with her presence and with her little elf siblings. He now felt more at ease with himself and his life that he was okay with losing his job though he had planned on leaving it.
