chapter 41: the ties that bind - tagx4 and open

He took more than a little bit to take it all in when he heard Cami. "Throw me to the fishes," he said as he turned his attention to this situation. He took just a few seconds to rub the palms of his hands as he thought about to handle this and to help his thoughts he turned and ate more cake. Then the young lady, as lovely as she was mentioned getting a round of drinks. "I'm not in the mood for a drink but if Taylor feels the need to toast then by all means have your way."

Jealousy was not something that he was used to feeling and so for the time being he was extremely uncomfortable but had a good poker face. "Heather is that your name?" Where the hell had she came from, as in, she did what? He turned and looked at her a bit longer. Oh the meek girl from ARI, a complete nobody. "Attaching yourself to my husband to be something is that what you are doing?" Petty. "Sweetheart, aim higher. Taylor this conversation is over because I refuse to ruin a good day, but learn to be better won't you?"

Star turned to him. "Is she why we can not get in we can only see?" She did not like this at all because how was it fair. "This woman is dangerous or either so controlled she does not realize it." Fudge. "We need to accidentally meet her on our own."

"Heather I will get you a drink in a minute. You see that young lady over there, her name is Mickie you can go say hi," he said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You look amazing by the way." Once Heather was gone he turned to Carter. "Baby, you need to chill out." He narrowed his eyes. "I thought you said you could handle it and yet the magic is going through you and turning yourself into someone I do not recognize, do not do that."

At least Mallory and herself were on the same page as thinking a hall would work. An apartment probally wouldn’t be big enough anyway given how many friends her brother made. Cami also wasn’t keen on the idea of the Stratin Children being involved but it could be resolved depending on every bodies plans.

“We will have to figure out if we involve any of the future children or not. Especially if their baby and toddler forms are going to be there. We might well need a hall anyway” she replied to Cami. Her parents would be there for sure and Mamma and Papa Quinzell didn’t know about future children being here. She’d made sure not to tell them. Mallory had an explaination of the why of what was happening at least. “I wonder if that was when we first found Lilith. She asked about Carter when she became humanoid. She said she sensed him leave his body” she added. Cami wouldn’t have known about her cat being human before but now she did.

Looking to Mallory she softly said “you’re right about them being boys. This is the calmest I’ve ever known my brother but can it last?”

There was not enough alcohol to get her drunk enough to ever not find this funny which was so bad because Carter clearly needed help. "That poor man," she said as she still listened. "What?" she asked. "Your cat can be a human?" Exciting really. "Well maybe you and that Cat need to talk to Carter because he is obviously flipping his shit." It was hilarious however. "Wait body switches?"

She had to have time to think about it all and she spoke. "We will continue to keep them seperated though Hayden and Gillian are my next two to speak with. They have something to tell me apparently and I can only hope it's good news." She did not know however. "I love when men disagree it shows just why they are the inferior gender."

Pretty people always do the weirdest things she realized as she shook her head. "It's all the energy around them." She had been studying. "Magic is a different type of energy if you believe in that and I think with them having literally been in each other in every way possible their emotions are a bit attached and detached maybe even glitched," she said. "Also those kids being here seems to be working it's way towards permanent which is interesting. They seem to be going on and off about their lives which is good but they are still closer to each other than others."

"With a name like Lilith what did you think but yeah maybe she just sees something in him we can not, who knows." She was trying to remain at a neutral view. "It's love at it's finest and well those connections that they make do not stop, just different in this timeline for them." She looked at Cami and sighed. "Well you guys are going to find out sooner rather than later so here it is."

She did not want to know these things they just told her. "She's having a baby, and you know how oddity pregnancies are so you're new year might be rung in becoming a grandmother. I'm not telling Taylor and Carter, you are there wife you need to but you also need to understand that they are scared Cami. They may look like adults but their emotions seem to be all over the place, they are still children in ways but that romantic gene is playing out in different ways for all of them."

She took a second to look at Madison and then went on. "Love is so different but it has to be carefully driven too. At this point whatever is going on with all these children seems to center around them finding themselves while finding feelings on different levels. If it makes them happy, just fucking let them have it because it seems as long as they have it they are just leaving everything else alone and as little as they mess with the better I would think."

She could not say one hundred percent. "I mean look at Taylor. His kids are calmer now and happier living their lives even if we do not agree with the ways and it seems to be working so why mess that up?" They were strong willed look at their family tree. "Guys those kids are Quinzell, Carter, and Stratin genes, not to mention Ashfords, if they could not truly handle anything, I doubt they would be here in the first place."

She thought again. "As for Lilith, well Madison and I keep getting surrounded by the oddest things that like one or both of us and it's not that bad, it's taught me to be a better person and I never thought that would happen."

He turned to William. "Not going anywhere alone with you, you wouldn't make it back alive," he said honestly as he looked at him and then Taylor had his hands and he felt a little strange as he shook his head and tried to take his hands back but was unsuccessful but he still remained calm as he spoke between gritted teeth. "Taylor let my hands go."

He looked down at their hands and seen the magic not overtaking one or the other but meeting in the middle. "What are you doing?" he asked him as he still remained calm. It did not hurt but it felt like change was in the air, not a bad one just a much needed one as he put himself up against Taylor. "If you hurt me I will kick you I do not care how many people are here."
