Fifty Four
Greg was driving the hour to go back to his parent's house while holding her hand. He was going over everything he had told her about them to make sure he wasn’t leaving anything out. He looked at her, and though she remained calm looking on the outside, he could feel the energy again coming from her and not the babies. “Why today?” she asked as she looked at him. She hadn’t really said anything the entire time.
“What?” he asked, confused as he tried to find the right words to answer her as well.
“Why did you decide to tell your parents about me today?” Kristen asked as she looked at him. “We have been together for months now. We have been married for a few months as well. I mean, the timing is weird that you want me to meet them today or all days.”
“Kristen, first off, I would have told them about you earlier, but I wanted you to be comfortable with the idea of maybe l

“Lucy, don’t,” Greg said as he looked at his younger sister. “You have no idea what you are talking about.”“Come on, Greg,” Lucy said with a laugh. “I mean, she is huge. You really think it is yours. She has to be even younger than me!”“She is,” Greg said as he stared down at his sister. “Her age doesn’t mean anything. However, I highly suggest you keep your mouth shut on things you don’t know about. This is one of those things, by the way.”“Greg, I mean, I don’t really care if you want to throw your entire life away on this but really? She caught you in a trap.” Lucy said as he looked over Kristen once again. He watched and waited as his parents were on the steps and not saying anything. “One you fell for hook line and sinker. I mean, you probably think they really are yours. She was already pregnant w

His phone was constantly ringing the entire way home. He already felt bad for even thinking this was a good idea. He honestly didn’t know why he thought his parents would be happy and pleased for him. He had been hopeful and was riding the high of finding out about the twins. That was his only excuse for this. Though he didn’t know if she would ever get over it either. This was worse than taking her in front of her parent's house and letting them throw insults at her. He felt horrible. He would never do anything to hurt her on purpose.Kristen had stopped crying, though. She didn’t say anything and only stared out of the windows. She was lost in her own world, and he knew that this was her way of dealing with everything. Though she normally talked things out now, sometimes, when something really bothered her, she went back inside herself and had to stay there until she was ready to deal with the problem head-on. That almost worried him that she

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

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

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 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

“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 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.
