Reece and I exhausted ourselves even further than we already had been. And when we woke up, it was almost three in the afternoon. We didn’t have that long before the kids started to get home from their various schools.
Rushing through a shower and dressing as quickly as we could, we rushed down to the dining room and ate a meal that Abigail prepared for us. It was a quick and easy lunch because she knew that we needed to hurry. And we had just finished and made it to the living room when Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley came walking in. Talia had gone to spend some time with her friends, so she wasn’t home yet, just them right now.
“Hi, Mommy!” Zaley called as she ran toward me. I don’t think that she expected to see us here when they got home.
“Daddy!” Zander ran toward Reece and leapt into his arms. “You’re here.”
“Yeah buddy, we’re here. Where else would we be?” Reece asked him calmly.
“I thought you might have left again. Not for long, just a little while. I thought that you would have another meeting or something.”
.....
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“We have more meetings, son, but we wanted to be here with you. I am sorry that we made you worry.”
“It’s OK, Daddy.” Zander hugged Reece tightly. “I am glad that you are here.”
“Me too, buddy. Me too. I wouldn’t want to miss out on these hugs.”
We spent a little bit of time just sitting there and talking to the kids. We learned that Zaley was doing better with school, now that she had a friend. And that Breanna was just as quick to defend her friend as the boys were. That was good to hear. I had to have a talk with some of the parents from their school after they picked on Zaley. They weren’t too happy with their kids, but I knew that they were as much at fault as their kids were. They were the ones that told their kids that Zaley was Edmond reborn, and they were the ones that preached the hatred of Edmond to them. It was their fault, and I had needed to threaten more than a few people to stop the hate from spreading too much. Yeah, I know, counterproductive, but no one messes with my babies.
A little while after Reece and I sat down with Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley, we heard someone else coming in. Reagan and Rika were home now, and they were who we needed to talk to. The quads understood that Mommy and Daddy needed to get to work now, and they were happy to have had that time with us when they got home. Now though, they were going to do their homework and prepare for their lessons that they had in the afternoon.
Reagan and Rika saw that we were waiting for them and looked at us with perplexed eyes. They wanted to know what was going on, but I think that they were a little iffy about actually asking us about it.
“You both want to help, right?” Reece broke the ice and opened the floor to the conversation.
“Yes, we do.” Reagan nodded excitedly. “What can we do? How can we help?”
“Did something new happen?”
“We had a friend, Darrol, come in to hack into the computers from the NSA. He managed to get in, and he has a lot of information that needs to be sorted and processed. It’s tedious and boring work, but if you want to help, this is where you start.”
I thought that they would object to the offer to help. I mean, it was menial work meant for an intern or an office gopher. I didn’t think that they would want to help with something so tedious.
“Yeah, we will help.” Rika nodded immediately.
“Hell, yeah we will. We get to see the secure files from the NSA. Who wouldn’t jump at that opportunity?” Reagan’s excitement was palpable.
“Alright then, if you still want to help, then come with us. It might take more than one day, so you can tell the others to come and help later if they want to. I know that Shawn and Dietrich most likely told their kids what was happening, the same as I told you. And Carter, Cedar, Juniper, and all the others. And all of you can help us in various ways.” I explained to them as I started toward the door.
“Hey, Mom.” Reagan called out to me, stopping me before I had gone more than a step or two.
“Yes?” I turned to face him.
“I was thinking about something recently. Something that I think will help us out a lot.”
“And what is that?” Reece asked him quizzically.
“It won’t help out the issue at hand. It will actually be centered on me and Rika. And the others. Levi, Luka, Alyssa, Alexandria, Elias, and the others. We are the ones that will eventually take over when you retire, or just want to take a break. And we will be helping out with things when we are done with university. I think that we need to learn more about our people and our kingdom. There is a lot that has happened over the last twenty years, and while we know about a lot of it, I am sure that there is a lot that we need to learn. And yeah, sure, the world isn’t what it was when you were our age. There are still so many things that we need to figure out on our own, but there is also so much that we can learn from the two of you. And it is not just the two of us that needs to learn this stuff. And I know that it’s not just the two of you that can teach us. We need to learn all that we can from you and Dad. Uncle Shawn and Uncle Dietrich. Uncle Vincent, and Uncle Gabriel. All of them have knowledge that we will never get on our own. We need to be taught. And that is why I suggest that we start learning it all as soon as we can. We have been sheltered enough, it’s time for us to grow up.”
“I agree with him too, Mom. We need to learn all of this. I know that I have been immature, selfish, and sheltered lately. And I am ready to move past that. I need to better myself so that I don’t make the same mistakes ever again.”
“I am proud of you two. You are both growing up so fast, and seeing this right here and now, I see that you are more mature than I ever thought that you were. And yes, I agree with you. We need to start teaching you how things are run. We should have done it sooner, to be honest. However, like you said, you were sheltered. I thought that by keeping the dark things away from you I was protecting you, but I was wrong. I left you na?ve and that is on me. Can you ever forgive me?” I felt shame then, so intense that I didn’t know how to get past it.
“Of course. It is on us as well. We didn’t have a desire to learn until now. Not until the truth of the world was shown to us. And, honestly, I am glad that you gave us a childhood that didn’t have darkness in it. I loved my childhood.”
“Thanks.” I felt a little better after that. “Now come on. Let’s get to work.”
The four of us left the living room together. I got to talk to Reagan and Rika for a while on the way down. I chose to take the stairs because it gave us more time together. And I knew that moments like this one, where they were so open and carefree with us, were limited. They were getting older, and soon they would have mates and families of their own. That was such a heartbreaking topic for me to think about.
Then again, it wouldn’t be all that bad either, would it? I mean, when Reagan and Rika found their mates they wouldn’t be my babies anymore, but they weren’t that right now anyway. They would both be happy, and they wouldn’t need to worry about their futures at all. They would eventually have kids, and that would mean grandkids for Reece and I. And the other kids, Talia, Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley would all be aunts and uncles. They would probably like the idea of that, even if Reece hated it with every fiber of his being.
And if I am being honest, seeing Reece flip out over the kids, specifically his little girls, finding mates was going to be hilarious to watch. And I just knew that I was going to be right there, front row center, when he had his first meltdown. Honestly, in a way, I couldn’t wait for them to move on, but I also valued this time with Reagan and Rika so much that I was torn and unwilling to make a true decision.
I guess that, in the end, they would do things at their own pace. And Reece and I just needed to watch it happen. And until then, we could continue to prepare them for the world and their future as best as we could. They needed to know as much as they could about our world and our culture. More than they had already been taught. Way more.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
