The morning light lit up the bedroom as Max groaned as he once again heard a noise in the other room, though when he blinked his eyes open, he didn’t feel the soft, warm weight on his chest that he had grown accustomed to. He looked around and saw that Deanna was not next to him, and the door that he knew he had left open after he had got up with Henry was closed. He moved and stretched as he stood and went to the door and opened it. Though he was still half asleep, he saw Deanna in the kitchen as she was talking to the floor, at least it looked like that to him from the angle he was at in the room.
She looked up and saw him and smiled as she walked over and prepared him a cup of coffee. As he walked over to take it from her small hands and look down to find a toddler waddling around. “Good morning, my sweet.” Max said as he bent down to kiss her quickly, &ldq

They found themselves at her apartment a few hours later. Max was running the show while she had Henry close by as he was trying to help. Max had a couple of his fellow officers there, and they were all understanding about his need to get her out of the apartment. Everyone worked well and quickly as they loaded the truck up with the furniture and the boxes the pair had left. Soon she was walking through the apartment with someone from the office, and she was signing papers to release her from the apartment.Max was waiting by the car as his friends were in the truck. Henry was making everyone laugh with his faces to things as they waited for her to be done. When they walked out, she stopped and looked back at the apartment and smiled. It had been her place for nearly four years. She knew it was time to move on to other things.She got into the car as Ma

Deanna walked away from the scene of people everywhere and hit the send button to her father’s number. She waited for the answer though she wasn't all that hopeful he would answer.“Hello?’ her father finally spoke as he sounded tired and dejected when he talked.“Dad?” Deanna asked as she knew this wasn’t going to be easy to ask the questions she had too.“What do you want?” he spoke with a harshness she rarely heard from him. She sighed, knowing it was going to be like this.“Dad, I have a few questions to ask.” She said as she lowered her voice instinctively, and she then realized that he had conditioned her as well. She knew then it didn’t matter how he snapped at her. She was an adult and didn’t need his approval for things anym

After everyone left, she was upstairs going through the boxes that they had placed in the far bedroom. She knew she wouldn’t be sleeping there and decided that it would be the guest room if they even had any. Though she was still contemplating everything, she learned she pulled out an old textbook about genetics and started to go through it.She remembered a chapter on what would happen if the two parents were related and the things that could be enhanced by that fact. She found it and was engrossed as they started with a first relation relationship, which she knew was what she was the result of. Though the textbook Was giving the worst-case possibilities, she saw a major pattern to them. Though she did not have almost any of the effects that were described, she saw a few that were the possibility of the rela

As his hand held the back of her head as she deepened the kiss, the two found the mouths melding and tongues were running against each other. When they broke the kiss, they were both gasping for air. “We can’t do this now,” Deanna said softly.“He is asleep,” Max whispered to her as he moved to her neck and began working his magic on her slowly. “This is the perfect time for us to play and then rest.”“Max,” she said as he found that spot on her neck under her ear that when he ran his teeth across, it sent a thrilling sensation through her body. “We don’t need to play all the time.”

Deanna felt Max move from in back of her to stand and slightly chuckled as he stood up as she wiggled in her half-sleep back to the spot he had been in for his warmth. He had heard Henry start to fuss in his crib though he didn’t think the boy was awake yet completely. Max would allow her to rest a bit more before he would ask her what she wanted for dinner.He looked around the loft and the beginnings of the two rooms that had been filled with things in the past few hours. Everything was being put into place and would find it’s way into their everyday lives. He knew that he had to call his mother and check on his father as well. Though doing that on the phone might bring the toddler to completely awake. Instead, he decided they would take a trip out that way to see them both. He needed to make sure the

A car ride was a treat for Henry. Deanna knew they probably kept him at home and locked away in the upstairs nursery with his nanny and not much else. She began to wonder where the woman was in the first place. Deanna had not thought of that. Where had the nanny been while her mother had done the things that she did to Henry’s little body? The thought was heartbreaking, and she didn’t want to really think about that. Even in two days, his little body was doing much better. Though they both were pale, it was good to see that he healed quickly.She knew there would be bruises and bumps in his life, but never again will anyone ever hit him again. She turned to look at him as he was smiling out the window as he saw things that he probably never had before. He was a fluke of nature like she was. A child that

The car ride was quiet as they all had a lot to think about. Max had come to grips that though his parents were very flawed, they were as bad as he thought. Sometime soon, he wanted to go to the cemetery that his sister was and at least pay his respects now that he understood who was there. That would be sometime in the future, though. Right now, he had enough to deal with adjusting to the fact he was no longer alone.Deanna was trying to think of how the next day was going to go. Though she had been a part of the family, not many of the wider family seemed to like her. It may be because of the facts of her birth. They probably knew how she was there. No one wanted to say it, including her. Talking to her younger cousin was not going to be easy, but sh

Winterhaven was a looming building that resembled a small Victorian castle in the middle of the woods though its appearance for what it really did was in the fifteen-foot fence, and razor wire that lined the top of the fence was easily seen and understood. Though the building was in good shape for housing all the people there, it had a stain on it that made it seem dark, dank, and dirty to the observer who stumbled across the place.Deanna was not looking forward to a foray into the building at all, even knowing that she had a car ready to leave with both Max and Henry in it. The discussion which became heated during breakfast was that Max didn’t want her to go alone. Deanna understood the reasons why, but instead, she thought he was treating her like a child. She wanted to do this without help, but he won in
