Morning came, and the light of the new day was filling the room and spilling light into their eyes as they lay on the floor of the living room covered in a blanket and each other. Steven woke up first and just looked at the woman next to him. Though he remembered the night before well, he wished it had been slightly different. They both had things they needed to do and say before something like the night before happened. Steven knew he was asking her to give up her dream in a way. He had watched her sisters years before rearranging their lives to stay with Yuri and Maleek, and he didn’t ever want to be that guy to her. He wanted to be the one who gave her those dreams, not steal them away. He brushed the hair off her face softly as she slept and just wanted to hold her there close to him, if only for that night and this morning. A feeling took hold, and he didn’t want to let it go.
Calista opened her eyes slightly as the l
Steven walked into the house, smelling like food. He wandered around for a few minutes and found her in the Kitchen cooking something on the stove. He walked up behind her, “you know, I thought this would never happen.” He whispered in her ear.“I know you did,” she said as she turned in his arms to face him. “But it did. the laws of simple motion are the reason.”“Of course, they are.” He laughed as he smiled at her with an open fondness that warmed her heart. “So, how long exactly are you not going to live here?”“Steven!” Calista said as she looked at him.“Well, who could blame me for asking that?” Steven asked. “I mean, your sisters changed their lives when they realized how they felt for the others. Could I be as hopeful?”“Steven, I tell you what,” Calista said with a look. “We will spend
Two weeks went by, and Steven settled into the idea of sharing his life and house with Calista. He had made room for her in the office and had got her a desk. He was on the phone when she walked in the door.“Yes, dad.” He said as he looked slightly mad. “I know.”He was walking around as she placed her things down in the living room and went to the Kitchen. She heard him again, “ Dad, she is the best thing to ever have happened to me. No, she didn’t know about the money. She isn’t like your girlfriends.”“Steven.” She said softly, and he turned to her. He had explained that his family wouldn’t be as accepting as hers was.“Dad, No, I want you to listen to me. I have known her for years. I do not care that she is so much younger than I am. I love her dad. There is something you won’t hear me say again with anyone else. Now, if you have a problem with
Six months later……..All four of the men in the unit were on edge. Krissy would walk in, and they all would watch her. She shouldn’t be at work, and they knew it. Not only was she beyond her due date, and extremely large all of their wives were s well. Though no one would actually say it.“What?” Krissy asked as she looked at them.“Why don’t you go sit down, please, honey?” Mark asked.“Guys, I am not going into labor this second.” She said. “Neither are the girls.”“You are handling this a little too calmly,” Steven said as he ran his fingers through his hair.“Yeah, mom,” Yuri said.“I swear one day I will shoot you, Yuri,” Krissy said. “Honestly, I want you all to know if the girls all go into labor at the same time, which by the way, is a sure-fire way for Mark to go insane. It will
Friday came in like a storm. Steven got the first phone call at five in the morning. Gina was in the hospital, and they expected the baby within an hour. Calista wanted to go to the hospital. Knowing that everyone else would be there when she stood up, she felt the telltale sign of her water breaking. She calmly went over to the drawer and took out a dry pair of pants, and changed as Steven looked at her with a question.“I have to go to the hospital regardless of my sister,” Calista said softly. “Your son wants to meet his new cousin.”“What?” Steven said as he looked at her. Just then, the first wave of pain ripped through her body.“Soon,” Calista said. “The car is packed?”“Yes,” Steven said as he looked at his tiny wife.“Then, we should go.” She said softly, trying to remain calm for his sake.“Calista?” Steven as
Chapter oneBoogs Akechi, whose real name is Greg, was now finally twenty-two. He had joined the army when he had turned eighteen, just like his adopted father and where his mother had worked for the most of his life. Three of his brothers-in-law also worked with his mom and dad. They had met and married when he was nine years old when his sister Rin was abducted and left for dead by her boyfriend at the time. Since then, he had watched his parents and his older sisters all moved on with their lives. Reena had married Yuri, and they now had three kids. They had a set of twins that were born the same day as his other sister’s babies and the last set of babies his parents had. Gina had married Maleek, and they had four kids now. Lista had three kids with her husband, Steven.He was coming home from being deployed overseas, and he expected the entire group there waiting for him. His dad had retired from the military now. His mother, a doc
As they got to the house that had gone through a few upgrades since he was back home. He looked at the outside, and he knew he was home. He went to the door, and he heard all the people and the younger kids in there. As soon as the door opened, he was overwhelmed by all the people there to see him. His uncles, Sisters and their families, and all the younger kids. He was hugged more times than he knew was possible.The kids all wanted some of his attention as he noted who had changed the most. The Flowers, his two younger sisters that were named after flowers, were the ones who had changed enough to be remarked on. Matthew was also reaching close to his height as well. He knew this was how it would be if he stayed in. He would miss so much of everything.“So when are you going over there? “Lista asked with a laugh.“what?” Greg asked as he looked at his next oldest sister.“Don't try to ignore
After everyone packed up, and it was just the family. Krissy went off to herd all the little ones to bed. They all were wound up and not ready for it, but they wouldn't give their mother too much trouble. They would play with Mark until they fell asleep. Greg looked at the organized chaos and shook his head."Looks like a chow hall." Mark said as he chuckled. "if it was something good.""Well, I do have to think you might be right." Greg laughed. "I was thinking it was more like boot camp.""Well, your mother is a drill sergeant at times," Mark said with another deep chuckle. "So I will go help her in a bit. She knows I would give in to them, but after the second time they are out of bed, they will listen if I look at them a certain way. That is coming up soon. So here.""Why are you giving me your keys?" Greg asked as he looked at the item his dad was handing over."Surprise or not, we both know you are going across tow
The two were locked together, and they both knew that things were changing really quickly between them. The kiss deepened even more, and soon they had lost track of time. Greg pulled up first though he really didn't want to. "As much as I want this to continue, I can't let it.""Why not?" Morgana asked as she looked at him and his large green eyes."First off, you deserve a lot more than something quick in the back of a car." Greg laughed. "Let alone my dad's car at that. Your uncle might be okay and all, but I doubt he would let me stay with you tonight, and my house is full to the brim with people.""I see your point." Morgana laughed. "So what happens now?""Well, the best thing I can think of is in the morning I will get my car, and then I will see you at your graduation. I know you probably have plans afterward." Greg said as he ran his fingers down her cheek as he looked into her eyes."Actually, I don't. I think m
