Thirty three
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

As the two settled into the house as Henry took a nap. She was working in the kitchen, preparing the stuff for dinner as Max was working on some papers. He looked over to her and knew she was thinking about everything as she was doing the things somewhat mindlessly. He wanted her to talk to him but also knew he couldn’t push her. The argument they had in the morning showed him that she still thought he was trying to treat her like a toy. Though he didn’t think he had, he was trying to understand how everything was for her.She had just found out everything in her life had been someone playing games with her. Even from her birth, she was wanted and expected to be something other than what she was. Max knew that in itself could be mind-breaking, and he didn’t want to push her any more than he had in

As they prepared to make another drive, and Henry seemed happy to be going into the car. Max looked at Deanna and knew the amour she was wearing thin. Though he was extremely impressed that she could focus at all on anything after being dealt the hand, she was just given. She was not reacting as he thought she would, but at the same time, he knew that it could hit anytime soon as well. The shock was like that.“Sweetheart are you sure you want to do this?” he asked as they pulled out of the driveway.“I see no other choice.” She replied as she looked at him as he kissed the back of her hand as he started driving.“I know you’re still mad at me.” He started, but
