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.

    Max watched as Michelle eyelids fell slowly as he placed her in her crib that was in their bedroom. It seemed that he had gone from sleeping alone to having his room filled with beautiful females. Soon they would have to get Michelle ready for sleeping in her own room so the new baby can have this spot. Three new cribs would have to be ordered soon enough. Right now he wanted to do nothing more than to hold Deanna as the hot water eased the stress of the day. It had been a crazy one and had uncovered so many new clues to her families insanities.He knew under all the strength she seemed to have while dealing with anything that comes out about her family she was undeniably upset and hurt by the actions of those people she had called her family. They all had plotted around her because of their parents. So many people had got hurt because of them that Max knew she was hurting as well. Though she was trying to no

    With the morning light Max rolled over and found the bed empty. He moved his hand over the spot Deanna should be in and found it cool to the touch. He got up and stretched as he moved across the bedroom floor. He walked out into the main living room area of the house and looked down and saw both girls were in their beds still asleep. He looked back into the bedroom and saw that Michelle was asleep still. As he moved into the room he glanced over to the kitchen and saw the time on the stove.It was still early. It was earlier than they normally woke up and he knew something wasn’t right. Letting his sense search the house he couldn’t hear anything or anyone moving. He began to wonder where she was. She didn’t seem to be in the house at all.As he was trying to figure out where she could go he opened the garage door and saw that the car

    Deanna settled in for the morning as she watched Michelle in the swing and the three toddlers play together on the space between the couch and the tv. The three of them seemed to be speaking their own language as they would babble to each other and a toy would be passed to someone. Henry was showing them how to play as Deanna was sure that they had never seen a toy in their lives. It was amazing to see them interact. There was no doubt in Deanna’s mind that they had spent a good amount of time together. She couldn’t figure out when they would have though. Her mother was too busy beating the tiny boy and would have noticed if he wasn;t in his room. Her father had seemed indifferent to the boy to a point but she now knew that he had been a part of Henry’s life because of this interaction between him and the girls.Max had left a little more than two hours ago to

    Max had been sitting in the dealership that his uncle owned and was waiting on the last bit of paperwork for the van to be his. He had found the perfect one the second he had walked on the lot. Everything was simple as his uncle had mainstreamed the process so all he did was have to get insurance for it and he did that and had the cards sent to the dealership within a few minutes of sitting down to talk the vehicle over with his uncle who was glad to see him again with his father.“Here you go Max.” His uncle Mark said as he handed the keys over to his nephew. “You didn’t tell me why you needed such a vehicle with that much space. What did you do like sponsor a little league team or something?”“Dad didn’t tell you?” Max asked as he looked at his uncle and he was shaking his head. “I am in the proces

    “What do you mean we will be getting the majority of the estate?” Max asked.“The lawyer called while you were gone. He explained that I can amend the will as long as I include them fairly because the chances of them being declared legally insane is high. I said that they would get a lump sum that was held in trust that would cover the cost of their treatment to a point but also the kids get a fair share again that is held in trust for them to get treatment and for them to go to college. Even with all of that Max we are looking at getting close to seventy million.” Deanna said as she watched his mouth drop open and him go blank for a minute.“Can you repeat that?” he asked. “I just need to see if I heard that right.”“Seventy million but there is more also.” Deanna said

    She looked at the van again and shook her head. Though it was the size of a normal van and was one solid color it was the fact he had gone for what she thought was a mini van and came back with this thing in front of her. The interior of what she had to think was a work van had been transformed into a transport van for small children.She saw his smile as he watched his co-workers place the car seats down and secure them in place. The three toddlers were moving there to be closer to the two adults they knew. Deanna bent down and picked up Poppy and Max did the same for the other two. “See why we can’t ask your dad to go to buy things for us?” Deanna asked with a laugh.“It is a good van.” Max said as he looked down at her. “Normal ones can seat six or seven you know. This one can seat ten.”

    When they got to the store they realized how unprepared they were for this. Normally Max pushed the cart with the two children until they started piling the things in the cart then Deanna held Henry until they finished. Now with four they had no idea how to do this. “Okay you take two and I will take two until we have to use one of the carts. Poppy and Clover will then be moved into this cart and I will push the heavier one.” Max said as he thought about it. “We will get one of those baby holder things for next time. The triplets can then ride in one cart and I will wear Michelle.”“Or I can.” Deanna said as she lifted Poppy and Clover into the cart. “Max this is going to be an adjustment regardless of everything else. We will find a way to get through it as long as we work together.”“I know that, my sweet. However you already hav

    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.

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.

    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.

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.
