Cyrus POV: Age - 40
I arrive home late as usual and as I turn to enter the door that I turn the low lights on I freeze in place at what I see all over my house. Party decorations and my family there sleeping all over my couches, the floor and living room. I do a head count and I see uncle Franco there sleeping on one couch. I see uncle Ayden with his kids, my cousins JD and DJ on the big couch sleeping together. I see uncle Wyatt sleeping against the wall with Felicity sleeping against him and all of them in the living room. I go to the kitchen and along with a cake and more party decorations I see RJ and TJ sleeping there. I save the cake on the fridge and all the food and sodas and going to the closet I grab a few blankets and give them to all of them. I sigh satisfied and as I go to my bedroom to sleep myself at last I find that my bed is already occupied with my cousin Unity and her kids Mugi and Neva. I sigh and fixing everything I buy a few things before I grab my sleeping bag and I turn to sleep on the floor by the feet of the bed.
The next morning as I wake up I get in the bathroom to brush my teeth and as I finish that I come out to make breakfast I see that two little persons are awake. I look at them but they just hide again in my room and I can't help but chuckle as I go back to getting ready myself for the day. Once I'm done getting ready Unity, dad and the kids are the only ones awake.
-Glad you're awake. Time to wake everyone else.
Owen-No, let them sleep.
-I have to go to work and for everyone's sake I want my house back to how it was before you all got here.
Owen-I make sure it happens. But before you go.
-What?
Owen-Happy birthday.
-Thanks but is not a big deal.
He sighs but he cups my cheek gently.
Owen-Come for dinner after work at least.
This time I sigh and pushing his hand away I speak.
-I'll be there. I promise. Now excuse me but I'm late for work.
Mugi-Aren't you staying to eat breakfast with us?
Neva-We came to see you.
-I know but I have to work right now but I'll be with you for dinner. I promise.
Unity-Alright you two, let him go to work.
They let go of me and smiling I leave for work.
I work as always and they, thankfully, don't call me through the day. After a while working I look at my phone and I am surprised at how fast the day went by as it already time to get out of work and go to dinner. Usually, in a normal day, I would stay late but I already promised I would be there for dinner so I start saving my work and packing up my things I turn to leave. Everyone looks at me skeptically but they don't ask me about it as they instead make rumors between themselves. I ignore them as I ignore everything else in life and so I turn to go home, to my dad's home.
As I expected dinner proves to be more than I can take and I end up grabbing my dinner to eat it under the shadow of the tree, my favorite tree, on the garden by myself. I sit there and I only manage to eat half of one bite before I just stare at my food. After a while dad sits at my side and I try to stay as normal as I can but he's my father so he's worried.
Owen-I know you're not alright and I know is been a while but you can't keep mourning forever. She's not worth all of that.
He brushes my cheek and I can't help a sob at that. I leave my food aside and pushing his hand aside I get up.
-I can't do this. I just can't do it.
Owen-Cyrus, please.
-No Owen no. I'm done with this, I'm leaving.
I get in my car and I hear how he calls me out.
Owen-Cyrus.
I still leave speeding away in my car.
Owen POV: Age - 67
Not wasting any time I get in my car and I follow my son Cyrus. I am not surprised when I notice he's not going home but he drives instead for a long while until he stops at a very secluded place in the outwards of the city limits. I stop and wait as I see what he does. He just turns his car off and he gets down from it and I watch him pace for a while before he just sits on the ground. I sigh and turning off the car I get out and go to him.
-Cyrus.
Before I can even do anything more than hold his shoulder he just turns to me and he cries on my shoulder.
-Is alright, I'm here. I'm always here and always will be. For you.
I shush him comfortingly as he keeps crying for a while more until he calms down enough.
Cy-Dad.
-Yes?
Cy-You're right. Maybe it is time to move on.
-But?
Cy-It hurts too much, even now it hurts too much. I thought it didn't anymore and that I was already over it but it still hurts.
-It will be over soon, I promise.
Cy-I thought..............it hurts. Dad, what do you think I should do? To get rid of all this pain. I want to forget, I don't want to.......I want this pain to stop so I can move on and be happy but I don't know how.
-Come here. I would highly recommend you see her again and you two should talk things over.
He gives me a look and I can tell he's scared. I chuckle and ruffling his hair I speak.
-I know you don't like it but some things have to be done.
He nods before he leans back on me.
Cy-I'm afraid dad.
-I know but there is something you have to understand about life and it's balance.
He shifts and ruffling his hair I speak.
-Hurt has four letters but so does heal, cry has three but so does joy. You just have to..................
Cy-Transform every negative energy into something positive.
I look at him and he shrugs smiling and I smile as he's coming back to his happy old self.
-Ready for a fresh start?
Cy-Yeah. I think I am.
-Good. Let's go home, is getting late.
Cy-Actually, let's go have a casual but private dinner. Just you and me.
I nod and so we go have dinner together.
Prince POV: Age - 22
I smile as I see my sisters looking around the clothing stores smiling happy and cheerfully. They are identical twins but even though they are not completely alike they aren't not so different either.
Jyo-Prince look at this, oh my lord, so very beautiful.
-Let me see.
She points to what she finds so amazing and I smile as I see is a bikini in a design of blue camouflage.
-Is cool but you have to ask dad for this one.
She gives me a look and I roll my eyes as she walks past by me and into the store. Not long after Maya pulls me towards another store and she shows me a red dress that she seems to like.
Maya-Look how beautiful is that dress. I want it.
-It is beautiful..............
Before I can even finish speaking she goes in the store to buy the dress and I groan at that. I keep shopping with them and carrying their bags until we finally turn to go home. Thankfully we came in two different cars that are both big and is clothes what they bought with a few shoes for each. We manage to fit everything with spare space. Once home I help them both get their clothes to each room with dad's help and when they finally let me leave I just go to my room and I fall asleep completely exhausted.
Unity POV: Age - 41
I look at my kids, Mugi(13) and Neva (9) as they play a board game together. I smile as each time Mugi gets a bad play she kisses his cheek or ruffles his hair and each time she gets a bad play he kisses her cheek or gives her a hug and when either of them have a good play they both cheer happy. My beautiful kids, I love them so much.
Five years later
JJ (Jasmine James) POV: Age - 549
I wake up back at home as my daughter wakes me gently.
-Hi.
Tikvah-Hi mommy.
-Where is your brother?
Kathik-Good morning DAD!
I turn just in time to see how Kathik wakes his dad Victor by jumping from the end of the bed to his stomach and he wakes without air. I can't help a laugh at that that I try to cover as I grab Kathik towards me.
V-What a way to wake up. Kathik.
Tikvah-I can heal you.
She passes across me and to his dad lap hugging him gently.
V-Thank you princess. I feel better now, a lot better.
He looks at Kathik serious and he shifts in my arms a bit when he raises his hand but his body relaxes when he only ruffles his hair.
V-You really are an energetic and healthy little boy. I love you.
Kathik-Love, love you too dad.
Tik-Daddy, can we go be king and queen with you and mom and our siblings.
Kathik-Yes please, can we all go together? With the dragons too.
-Let's get your siblings and get ready for the day first and then we can start doing the things we have to do.
V-Go on.
They both nod and they run away from our bed to their own bedroom and we turn to each other.
V-I saw you laughing at my wake up call.
-I laughed yes I did, and? What are you going to do about it?
V-Nothing bad or that you don't want either.
I shiver as his hand explores underneath my clothes and up my thighs.
-Ah.
V-Interesting.
He kisses me and I feel his hand slipping away and I pout when he breaks away to get ready for the day.
After we get ready and have breakfast we go to the throne room and we are all together there. I hold our youngest baby boy Kitai, he's almost one. He holds our four year old daughter Deva while our seven year old twins sit on out respective thrones, Kathik takes Victor's place as the king and Tikvah takes on mine as the queen.
V-Your majesty.
Kat-Dad look, I'm the king now.
V-Yes you are and as the king you must have a crown, don't you?
His face lights up with happiness as his dad offers him his crown. He takes it and places it on his own head joyfully and we laugh as it falls sideways since his head is still too small for the crown.
Tik-You look like a cute king.
Kat-Fitting for a beautiful queen to have a good looking king.
He sits straighter and we all laugh at his enthusiasm when someone enters the throne room. Both of us recognize him as the chef and we know is almost lunch time.
Chef-My king, my queen. What would you like to have on the lunch menu for today?
V-King Kathik, what do you want to eat?
Chef-My king.
V-Let him think. Is a really hard choice to make.
He nods and we turn to Kathik as he thinks about it. He whispers with his dad before making a decision.
Kat-Today we will eat steak with a lot of sauce, shrimp with a lot of sauce, a......hmm......basket of fruit, orange juice and warm milk.
Chef-Anything else?
I feel a pull on my skirt and I lean down to my daughter as she asks softly.
Tik-Can we have sweets?
I look at Victor who nods so I turn to her approvingly.
-You can have sweet.
She smiles and she whispers on his brother's ear softly.
Kat-Make sure you have colored sugar cookies, caramel apples and.........
He pulls on his dad and he asks him about it but for some reason he turns shy to ask again.
V-Croissants. Powdered with cream and sugar.
Chef-It will be ready shortly.
V-Thanks, you're dismissed.
With that he goes away and we notice that Kathik seems a bit down until we go eat and he perks up instantly happy as he goes to eat with his sister.
To be continued....................
