  She looked at the van again and shook her head. Though it was the size of a normal van and was one solid color it was the fact he had gone for what she thought was a mini van and came back with this thing in front of her. The interior of what she had to think was a work van had been transformed into a transport van for small children.She saw his smile as he watched his co-workers place the car seats down and secure them in place. The three toddlers were moving there to be closer to the two adults they knew. Deanna bent down and picked up Poppy and Max did the same for the other two. “See why we can’t ask your dad to go to buy things for us?” Deanna asked with a laugh.“It is a good van.” Max said as he looked down at her. “Normal ones can seat six or seven you know. This one can seat ten.”

  He was still whispering in her ear. “Find one of the workers and tell them someone is following you and the kids. They will have to call security and then we can get the stuff and get out of here but I don’t want to take any chances that she can follow us.” Max said quickly and directly in her ear. “Something isn’t right.”“Alright.” Deanna said as she moved throughout the aisles and she could hear Max behind her and the woman who was still following them closely. Though the woman was older it seemed that she was trying to get closer to Deanna at times when Max would block her off quickly. It also seemed it was the one time she couldn’t find someone that worked there.Three more times the older woman tried to get up closer to Deanna who changed directions quickly and Max blocked the woman off.

  Max was waiting for a phone call from the department. He knew they were still investigating the house and the people that had lived there. The Watson siblings were all being taken care of at a few different hospitals. He knew it wouldn’t be hard to see the truth for the doctors that most of the siblings were clearly insane.He didn’t have to witness any more from them to know it. He hoped the doctors would see it as cut and dry. Though he never wanted to have them released and the criminal charges would be there waiting for them when they were it was easier to focus what was in front of him. Deanna had her own issues to get through. He hoped she would open up to at least him at some point.“You do know that you can talk to me about anything, right?” he blurted out as they were waiting for the food he ordered for dinner to arrive.

  Deanna knew Max wanted to go with her after work to help her find the perfect dress for the day that would mark their joining as a married couple. Though she could use the alone time for once she knew he wanted to make sure nothing else happened that was odd around her. The simple fact was the idea of shopping with him was more comfortable though that meant four little ones were coming as well.The days seemed to blend together in the office without any windows. They knew when they had office hours and when the classes were but neither of them seemed to want to do anything but spend the day in the cool room with the children. When Max had class he often would set up one or two of the portable cribs on the stage off in the lecture hall and one or two of the triplets would be there with him as he gave his speeches for the class.He had changed dramaticall

  As the two walked through the building looking in stores for some things for the kids and themselves. They stumbled into another store while laughing.at themselves and the kids as they pointed to things they had never seen before. When Max looked at the wall he saw the two dresses that would be perfect for the girls for the wedding. He pushed his way over there and reached up and took the two dresses off the wall.They were two different colors though they were of a similar style. They would be easy enough to remember who was in which one. Though they were identical they did have very different tastes in things he noticed in the short time they had them. It would be easier to tell them apart when they were older. Max looked around and wondered why people would dress their twins in matching outfits and whatnot. It would lead to confusion for the parents and even more important i
