    The day was finally over as Max and Deanna packed up the two small children, Henry and Michelle, from the office that they all shared in the basement of the old building. It had been a week and few days since Deanna’s worst day when all the truth had come out about her parent’s death, which had happened a few days prior to the news being blasted all over the television and radio. When it was announced that her oldest brother David, who was also her biological father, had not only killed his parents but also had caged and raped numerous of his cousins, the news went wild with the story.Deanna had accepted the news of her birth and that of the two small children who were now in her care with Max as a fact even before the blood tests had come back. When they did, and she knew for a fact her mother was both her mother and grandmother, Her brother was both her brother and father. It was disgusting to

    Chapter TwoWhen they walked in the door, her phone started going off again like it did most days when they got home. One or more of her siblings would be calling to try and understand how she was now the one who would receive the most from the payouts, and then she would go and ignore her parent's funerals. Deanna was tired of talking in circles with them. She knew what the money was really for. It was for her silence. Her father, or the person she had thought was her father, had set up the meeting with David and had demanded he stop and release the girls he was holding. Calling that meeting had caused his and his wife’s deaths. He had planned it out, so it did.Deanna hadn’t realized how much the man had planned out in advance. Somehow he knew that Deanna would question where they were. He also assumed that

    The children went to bed easily now that they had a system. Henry had been moved upstairs to his new bedroom while the baby still slept in the portable crib in their bedroom. Michelle woke up a few times a night to have a bottle. Deanna cleaned up the kitchen as Max looked at the box of opened letters.He had to guess there were over a few thousand dollars sitting in another bin. He was amazed, but he was trying to think about what David was doing right now. The man only worked for his own interest. To bombard his oldest daughter with letters like this was very much in his plan. He shook his head and wondered if they would ever get the chance to understand the man that causes so much pain.Max hoped Deanna would finish doing whatever she was doing and quickly. They both needed to shower and then relax before bed. He had a few ideas on how to find that relaxation. He walked back to see

    Though they did wake up and start moving about an hour later, he saw that she was dragging with the relaxation that was still steeped in her muscles, but she wouldn’t finish and go to bed until everything she wanted to get done was almost completely done. He helped her move through the house and pick things up and put everything away. With the dishwasher now going and the clothes moved to the dryer again. She was almost ready to retire for the night.“Michelle will want a bottle in about fifteen minutes.” She said softly to him. He went and made it, so he was ready to feed and change the baby girl. While he did that, he saw that Deanna had pulled out clothes for both of the kids and laid them out for the next day. Max began to wonder how he never noticed all the small things she did to make sure the mornings ran smoothly.He looked at

    The next few days were basically a repeat of the days previously before. When they got home, there would be a mail truck waiting with more bins each time. Every day for nearly a week. Thousands of letters all for David but addressed to her. Money in nearly every one of them. By the time they had gone through them all, there were fifteen thousand dollars in the other bin that they had put the money in.“This is ridiculous,” Deanna said as she looked at it. “First off, we can’t keep it in here or anywhere in the house.”“Well, what should we do with it?” Max asked as he moved through the house after he had placed Henry upstairs in his bed for the night. She had done the same with Michelle a few minutes before. “Did you talk with the lawyer?”“I did, and all he could say w

    It was three days later the news of the custody came through. The social worker they had been working with had come to check on everything in the house and the general care of the two small children. Deanna had already known that her father, the one she had thought was her father at least, had paved the way for her to be able to adopt Henry. His guardianship was never truly in question. Michelle was another story, and Deanna’s siblings had all shown some interest in being her guardian only because of the amount of money that the newborn was set to inherit. Luckily for Max and Deanna, the social worker had been able to see through their fake concern for the small baby girl.“Max, did someone call you?” Deanna asked as she walked into his office as he was holding his later after hours while she had her last class for the night. Though they now had the two cars,

    Max could see she was starting to hate when they were going home. She knew what was waiting for them when they did arrive. The boxes would be stacked at the front door and piled high. She was starting to hate everything about those hours that she would have to open the letters to get what was inside and then throwing the letters into a box for the police to go through. He thought of something that might make her ease a bit.When they loaded up the car, he turned on the music and started driving. She had closed her eyes and laid her head back, so Deanna had no idea they were headed to somewhere other than their house. About ten minutes into the drive, which would be nearing their house, she opened her eyes and saw that they were nowhere near it. She looked at Max with a confused look on her face.“I thought we were going home?” Deanna said so

    The two got the kids settled for the time being with his parents and assured Henry that they would be back soon, and everything was okay. Max’s father took him out back to the yard where he had put up the playscape that he had told Henry he would be getting while he was in the hospital.“I told you I would get it.” Max’s father told all of them as he smiled. “Now, maybe there will be some joy in this house when it comes to children.”“Thanks, Dad,” Max said with a smile as he took hold of Deanna’s hand and led her out of the house and to the car. “We will only be gone for an hour or two. You don’t have to worry.”“I wasn’t worried,” Deanna said softly.“My love, you are the worst liar on the planet.” He

    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.
