JJ (Jasmine James) POV: Age - 551
I arrive at my grandfather's house and I'm reunited with my more immediate family. My cousin CC, my dad CJ and uncle AJ and their dad Calix. Only I got here with my family tagging along, my husband and our four kids.
CJ-Jasmine James, my little girl.
-Hi dad.
We share a tight hug and it takes us a while but we do it.
-Cousin.
CC-Cousin. Are those your kids?
-They are.
CC-They have grown. Can I?
I nod and he goes greet them as I greet my uncle.
CJ-What brings you here? All the way from the land of dragons.
-We can visit and I miss you all amongst other things.
Deva-Mama.
-Is alright, come here with me.
Victor nudges her in the right direction and I catch her getting her in my arms.
-Is alright. Be patient a bit more.
She just leans on me and I smile at that as I put her back down.
-Kathik, go explore the house with your sisters. Yes?
Kathik-Let's go find the garden.
They instantly cheer and I watch them go before I sigh.
CJ-What's going on?
-You know me too well. Let's sit down to speak.
Calix-You go on ahead, I'll get the drinks.
AJ-Thanks dad.
They turn to go and I take a deep breath to calm down when his presence comforts me.
V-It will be alright.
-Thanks.
He kisses my cheek as he passes me and so we go inside and I sit on the couch as my husband sits on the floor playing with our youngest son, 3, Kitai. Dad moves to sit at my side and I sigh.
CJ-What's wrong?
-Deva. She, I'm not certain of what she has but I can tell it has to do with vision, with her eyes and I think grandpa can help her better than I can.
AJ-She seems fine.
-She does but we don't want to take any risks. I would like to train her and teach her to get in life by herself but I don't think I can do it.
CJ-You can do it. You'll see and we will help you do it. Right dad? Brother?
AJ-Of course we will.
CC-That's what families are for.
-Thanks.
I drink my milk and I'm feeling at ease now. I feel better.

Having finished about Deva I turn to look at my youngest child and getting out of dad's hug and leaving the empty drink in the table I turn to sit on the floor.
-Kitai.
He turns his attention from Victor to me and I smile stretching my hands to him.
-Hi baby Kitai.
Kitai-Mama?
-Play with me?
He throws me his toy and laughing I hold it in my lap as he comes towards me and his toy but mostly his toy and so he plays by himself in my lap.
-What a sweet sugarcube he is.
CJ-Does he speaks much?
-He mumbles a lot and speaks a few random words. For now he can only speak and associate the most simple ones. Mom, dad. He abbreviated bo for his siblings as brother is still too hard for him. He hasn't found a word for food but he knows and we understand his hungry actions better.
CC-What does he does when he's hungry?
-Most of the time he chews the first thing he finds. Lucky us, we found a time pattern to when he gets hungry and we can avoid his chewing most of the times.
AJ-What does he likes in general? Sorry, his favorite food. What is it?
-Mashed potatoes. Is his favorite and he is, stubborn when he gets to eat it.
CJ-Do tell.
-He cries when I feed it to him or anyone. Is messy and all but he does eat it himself but I still got my means and ways to help him finish it.
CC-He wants to go with his siblings to play.
-Yes, he wants that but he's still too small to join them so he won't.
I kiss his head before I just toy my fingers on his hair.
CJ-Overprotective mother.
-Of course not. I just love them, like a mother should, like a father loves a daughter.
He smiles at me and I laugh at that before a scream calls all of our attention.
Tikvah-Daddy! Dad, dad, dad, help me please, ah!
She rushes in the room and she goes to hide on Victor's arms crying. I turn to look at the door from where she came in and I see Kathik and Deva there and suspecting what happened I call them out.
-Kathik, Deva, come here.
They come in and I let dad take Tikai.
-What happened?
Kathik-Nothing.
Deva-A bit of fun but he didn't wanted to scare her.
V-Kathik.
He sniffs and then he just looks at his sister.
Kathik-Sorry.
He approaches cautiously to his dad and sister. We adults exchange looks but we let them fix it themselves so we keep looking. Kathik pokes his sister and she just looks at him from behind her father before she asks.
Tikvah-Is not there anymore? You don't have it.
Kathik-Is not here. I didn't wanted to scare you. Sorry.
He sits on the floor just looking at his sister before she cheers up slightly. She gives her dad a kiss on the cheek before she moves out and she sits with her brother.
Tik-It was ugly. Very disgusting.
Kat-It was curious.
She moves to sit in front of him and she smiles.
Tik-Mom, is it true or false? Kathik's curiosity is ugly and disgusting?
-Depends on what he did. What did you do?
Kat-I...........there was a spider. She asked me to get rid of her, I tried to but it jumped on her. She ran, I turn to scare it but they were both gone.
Deva-I don't think it was that bad except when she screamed.
-Deva.
Deva-She was being so loud, I only heard her.
Tikvah-Mom, I'm hungry. Can we eat?
-Sure. Go wash your hands first.
AJ-Come with me. I'll help you with that.
-Go on. Go with him.
They do and so we move to the dining room to where we find that Calix has already made and served dinner and so we all sit down together and dinner is full of cheerful noise and chatter.

Cyrus POV: Age - 47
I wake up to soft and gentle kisses along my face and smiling I speak still sleepy.
-Morning.
D-Morning.
We share a sweet kiss before we just lie in the bed side by side just looking at each other.
-So beautiful. The sun comes out just to see you.
D-You're so silly.
-I still feel like I'm dreaming this. All of this.
D-Be happy because is not a dream, is a reality and is wonderful. We actually made it and now we're finally husband and wife. You're my husband and I your wife.
-My wife.
D-My husband.
-I love you.
D-I love you too.
We share a kiss but it gets interrupted by her stomach growling with hunger.
-Was that.........?
D-Guess I'm hungry.
-Then allow me to cook you something good for breakfast.
D-And then we can take a bath together.
-Yes. Come on, let's go.
We get out of bed and after breakfast our day passes slowly and is after lunch that we actually go out of our room and to our private pool.
D-This is heaven. I'm in paradise.
-The sight is good.
She looks at me and I make it more obvious I'm looking at her. She plays along and she poses sensually.
D-Do you like what you see?
-Oh yes. Very much.
D-I want to swim. Do you want to join me?
-Later, I want to admire you a bit more.
D-Suit yourself then.
She gets undressed to her swimsuit and I watch as she swims around the pool.
D-Still not going in.
-In a minute.
D-Then perhaps you need a bit more incentive.
-I love admiring you before making you mine.
She smiles and she swims towards me. When she comes up at me she smirks.
D-Then why don't you stop admiring me and make me yours already?
I lean in kissing her but I stop shocked when her hand comes up my leg and under my pants giving me a boner.
D-You're ready. Come to the water with me.
She pulls away and she leaves something in my lap. Her bikini, I look at her and my heart leaps at the sight of her naked.
D-How much longer will I have to wait?
-Coming.
She laughs and getting naked myself I go in the water and reaching her I kiss her deeply.
-I'm so in love with you.
D-I know and I'm also very crazy for you.
-Now then, what did you wanted to do? I kind of forgot.
D-I want to practice with you how to make babies.
I laugh at her choice of words before I speak.
-We could try and have one now.
D-I'm not on my fertile days yet.
-When will that be then?
D-By the final days of the honeymoon.
-Then if you allow me, those days will be heavenly for you as we try harder and more vigorously to have our child.
D-We can have fun in the meantime, right?
-Definitely.
She smiles at me before we kiss and so we make love in the pool and as the days pass we make love everywhere we can do it and before we know it is time to go back home and continue our life and work. We made a few changes to our lifestyle but we're still good and happy.

Once at home the days pass until they turn into weeks and so they turn into months and the seasons change. We married in spring, the honeymoon was all summer long and right now is autumn. One certain morning I admire her as she sleeps until she wakes up.
-Hi sleeping beauty.
D-Hi.
She says it in a way that I can tell something's wrong.
-Are you alright?
D-Not exactly. I feel like I'm sick.
-Do you need me to call the doctor? I know of a few doctors that..................
D-Cyrus, no, I don't need a doctor.
-But you just said you feel sick.
D-Cyrus. Calm down, trust me.
-Dalilah.
D-Wait here, I have something for you.
She gives me a slight kiss before she goes get her purse. I wait patiently and she comes back with an envelope.
D-Open it.
-I know. I only hope is nothing like cancer or that you can't have kids or well, anything like that. I mean, I hope is not bad.
She gives me a look and I clear my throat before I finally turn to open it and so I read it and I almost can't believe it so I turn to Dalilah.
-This is..................
D-It is. 13 weeks.
-You already passed the first trimester?
D-Yes.
I cover my face in my hands as I start crying and she, of course, notices.
D-Are you crying?
-No. I'm happy, why would I cry when I'm so happy.
She knows I'm lying and I know it too as I keep crying a bit more and she comforts me. I calm down with that when a sudden thought comes into my mind and so I start asking.
-Have you told someone else? When can we know it's gender? How will we name our baby? Can we see it already formed with ultrasound? Does he already has a heartbeat?
D-Wait wait wait. Calm down. Cyrus, please calm down.
-Alright.
D-Cyrus, I did my math and if I'm not wrong our baby will be born on April along with the start of spring.
-Then we better hurry. We have to get the crib, diapers, clothes, milk, toys, we have to paint the baby's room and decorate it. But then again, how can we choose anything if we don't know if it's a boy or a girl and we have to tell everyone about it. That last part we can after we know our child's gender.
D-Cyrus, I have no doubt you'll be a good father. An excellent father but as much as we have to prepare, can we stay here in bed today? At home.
-Of course and I'm going to spoil you and protect you and love you, both of you.
I rub her belly with the back of my hand for a second before I pull away instantly and after a moment of reconsidering I touch again but this time I stay like that. We laugh and so we stay at home for the rest of the day speaking, planning, dreaming.
