Chapter 36 - Spin the bottle. Episode 1.

-----Evan's point of view------

Evan: I woke up the next day just past noon. My head was hurting, and I felt drier in my mouth than a hot summers day on a dirty highway. I stretched and looked around, no Andy next to me, so I decided to throw some random clothes on I found on the floor and quickly ran my fingers through my hair before I walked upstairs.

Robert: He was pacing back and forwards on the floor with his back against me, in front of the fire place, holding his cell phone to his ear. His posture looked defeated and sad, and he sighed deeply a few times. No Hannah. I know I lied to you. But he's your SON! He's OUR son! I couldn't just sit and watch him crash any longer, and you shouldn't ask me too either. He paused as he clearly got interrupted, and although I couldn't hear what my mom was saying on the line, I could clearly hear her yelling something. Hannah! They are IN LOVE! One time you seemed to remember how that felt. Our boy is happy. Yes, yes I know he's depressed, but that has nothing to do with his relationship with Andy. They have a nice, healthy relationship, and Andy takes such good care of our son, I am proud to have him as a son in law. If you would stop being so stubborn and come down here, you would be able to see it for yourself! It's been many years since I last saw so much love as there is in this house. He sighed softly Fine. Maybe I will stay here, if that's what you want. He sighed even deeper and lowered his voice, talking much sweeter now Hannah, I don't wanna fight any longer, please. I will come home one of the next days, and then we can talk it all out, okay? Maybe we need to go away a bit you and I? How about that trip to Italy we have been postponing for years? He paused for a while, clearly listening to whatever answer my mom had, then sighed deeply Yes, I was afraid it was heading towards this, I had just hoped maybe I could reason with you. But, if a divorce is what you want, I guess I can't force you to stay. But it saddens me. I would hate to lose you. He looked at his phone and sighed deeply, it was easy to guess she was no longer on the line as he pushed his phone back in his pants pocket

Congo: Frowned softly from his spot under the sink in the kitchen, as he turned to look at my dad I'm sorry Robert. That was probably a conversation I shouldn't have been listening in on. But my hands are kinda buried here. Do you wanna talk about it? He grunted a bit as he tried to loosen a screw on a pipe, clearly very busy with some plumbing If you need a place to crash for a while….

Robert: He sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead That's mighty generous of you, Congo. But I'm sure the youngsters wouldn't want an old dad around.

Congo: He chuckled deeply Robert, have you seen the size of this house? The kids mostly spend the time in the basement anyway, so they wont notice you're here unless they spend time up here. I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue, or I wouldn't offer. He smiled softly at my dad, then he frowned deep as he seemed to notice me. Evan… he quickly grabbed a dirty towel next to him and dried his oily fingers in it

Robert: He turned around quickly and looked at me with a worried frown Did you listen too?

Evan: Yeah dad… I frowned softly and quickly walked to the fridge, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone on the way, as I was still quite embarrassed by yesterdays little happening. I quickly grabbed a soda in the fridge, opened it and drank a good amount, still hiding behind the big door as I spoke up in a deep voice You can stay here…. if you need to….

Congo: He smiled at me warmly as he got up, and planted a big hand on my shoulder, giving it a light squeeze

Evan: I'm okay my voice was soft as I looked up at him with a small forced smile

Congo: He nodded understanding, and looked at my dad with a warm smile So it's settled then, Robert. You'll stay here as long as you need, and I wont hear more of it. So call and cancel your room at the motel, you're better of staying here, have some proper family time with us. I could need some company anyway. The young ones often forget me he chuckled softly and gave my shoulder another squeeze, before dragging me in for one of his big warm bear hugs. And I can't say it wasn't what I needed. I dug my fingers deep inside his back, and hit my face against him, letting the feeling of safety wash over me. Congo's arms had become a place I could hide from the world, even for only a few seconds, it always seemed to comfort me.

Andy: What did we miss?

Evan: I turned my head quickly and smiled softly at him and Daniel as they had just walked in from outside, judging by their oil greased clothes Not much… my eyes flickered towards my dad

Congo: He planted a soft kiss on my forehead and let go of me, grabbing two cold beers from the fridge Catch! He threw one to Daniel, and one to Andy, then grabbed two more, and walked towards my dad, opening them on the way, and handing one to him Robert will be staying with us for a while….

Andy: Smiled a bit nervous towards me, so I gave him a soft smile back Uhmm?

Robert: It looks like me and the misses are getting a divorce. As he finished the sentence, he sipped the beer and smiled thankfully at Congo

Congo: He grunted softly and nodded at Andy Are you okay with this?

Andy: Uh… yeah… sure… I got no problems at all with that, if Evan is okay? he looked at me a bit worried

Evan: I nodded softly and grabbed a banana Yeah… I'm fine. I would rather have him here, than with… I frowned deeply and rubbed my forehead

Congo: Good… it's settled then… unless Daniel has…

Daniel: I'm good he jumped up to sit on the kitchen counter and smiled at me cheekily as I bit into the banana Uhh… easy there tiger he winked at me cheekily and licked his lips you know I like it rough!

Evan: I shook my head and glared at him

Andy: Chuckled hoarse and lit a cig, quickly making his way to me, and lightly wrapped his arm around my waist as he gently kissed my hair. It was good to know he was there

Congo: Alright… let's go make you a room upstairs, shall we? They both disappeared quickly upstairs

Andy: He looked at me with worried eyes

Evan: I shook my head softly I'm fine… really… If Daniel would just stop flirting with my banana!

Daniel: Oh honey, I'll always flirt with your banana! He grinned wide and sipped his beer

Andy: He chuckled hoarse but kept looking slightly worried at me You know it would be okay if you wanted us to stay next door a couple of days…. or if you would rather your dad stayed there? I could just casually let Congo know… you didn't have to be the one to say it…

Evan: I sighed softly I'm fine, really. I lived with him before. And he's pretty easy to be around. Besides, Congo looks way too happy about him staying here, I wouldn't wanna ruin that now I chuckled softly and shook my head as I noticed Daniels stupid ass face again I can't deal with this I quickly handed the rest of the banana to Andy and made my way to the fridge to find something less sexual to eat, although I was rather thankful for Daniels own version of trying to lighten the mood. I quickly grabbed a bit of left over dinner that was sat aside on a small plate, and when I turned around, I was not at all surprised to see Andy mimicking a blowjob on the poor banana while Daniel was licking the whole in the bottle neck of his beer... I sighed deeply. What did I ever do to get friends like this? After observing them a few seconds I couldn't help but burst out in a loud laughter. idiots!

-------Congo's point of view--------

Congo: The day had gone pretty fine after the gloomy news on the phone. Robert had helped me fix the sink while the boys had continued to work on their bikes. Evan had mostly just kept to himself, mostly reading in a corner of the garden. I had once in a while brought him a beer or a snack, and along the line exchanged a few words with him. He was okay under the circumstances, and I got the feeling he truly was okay with his dad being here, maybe even a bit relieved. Early evening we had all gone down the mountain to shop for food and other supplies, and when we returned home, Robert and I had fired up the grill. We had grilled for hours, enjoying delicious food, beers, wine, positive conversations, a nice atmosphere had spread through the whole garden, and as Sparkle around midnight had stopped by to look for Daniel, we had invited her to join us. That was now about two hours ago, a big bonfire had been made in the middle of our garden, and everyone was gathered around it. I had been laying in the grass for a while, with a hand under my head, observing the kids on the other side of the fire, smiling as I was listening in on their conversations

Sparkle: No! That's just stupid! She laughed loudly and pointed her tongue at Daniel, who at this point had stuck a corn cob inside his pants, letting half of it peek over the pants line, clearly imitating a dick Get that thing out from there!

Daniel: Laughed cheekily and nodded at it Not until you lick it!

Robert: He chuckled softly and reached a beer down to me as he came back from the toilet Are they always…

Congo: I nodded softly and sipped the beer, chuckling a bit as I shook my head They're just getting started.

Robert: Chuckled softly and sat down next to me, sipping his own beer

Daniel: If you don't lick it, you wont get any of this! He wiggled a joint in front of her eyes and lit it with a grin, blowing a big cloud of smoke out in her face

Sparkle: Pointed her tongue at him Well, I won't need to smoke if you keep doing that!

Daniel: Chuckled hoarse and took another big drag, keeping the smoke in his lungs as he grabbed the cob and dragged it out of his pants, biting into it and started munching

Andy: Chuckled hoarse and pointed at the joint well at least pass that on if you plan to eat now…

Daniel: Grinned wide Sorry… Congo? He reached the joint towards me and nodded softly

Congo: I smiled softly No thanks Daniel, not tonight… there's no reason scaring Robert away so fast I chuckled warmly

Robert: He smiled friendly at Daniel and reached his arm towards him I'll take it…

Daniel: Smiled surprised and reached the joint towards Robert Way to go Robert! I never took you for a smoker?

Robert: Chuckled softly I used to smoke quite a lot before I got kids.

Daniel: Chuckled warmly I'm surprised… have fun! He winked at Robert and returned to munching the corn cob

Evan: Uh… dad…

Robert: Smiled warmly at his son Yes dear?

Evan: Frowned softly Just be careful alright… it's pretty strong medical joints, so no more than a couple of puffs alright?

Robert: Looked at the joint a bit hesitating, then took a small drag Thanks for the warning.

Congo: About an hour later the joint had really kicked in, and everyone around the fire was chuckling and laughing. The mood was high and all worries seemed far away. I had stuck with alcohol though, but had switched to stronger medicine, such as my all time favorite, Whiskey. By now, even I was feeling a light buzz in my system, and it seemed as if happiness was the only feeling in my body.

Daniel: Suddenly jumped up like something had stung him Oi! Let's play a game of truth and dare?! he looked way too exited for any of us to disagree, so I quickly grabbed a wine bottle and handed it to him with a small chuckle, watching him eagerly spin it around, and his face light up as it landed on Sparkle Truth or dare?

Sparkle: Shook her head chuckling a bit Uhm truth…

Daniel: Grinned wide How much do you love me?

Sparkle: Chuckled warmly Uhm… this much? she held two fingers up measuring about the size of Daniels dick

Andy: Laughed out loudly and Daniel followed as he finally got the joke as well

Sparkle: Chuckled warmly and grabbed the bottle, spinning it around, smiling softly as it landed on me Truth or dare big guy?

Congo: I smiled warmly Well, I always liked the truth…

Sparkle: She smiled warmly Uhm…. Have you ever had sex with a woman?

Congo: I smiled softly Yes, as a matter of fact I have. Twice.

Sparkle: Looked at me surprised

Congo: Methos… I smiled softly and grabbed the bottle, spinning it and smiling warmly as it landed on Evan Truth or dare dear?

Evan: Sighed softly and smiled at me Dare…

Congo: I smiled softly I dare you to… give Andy a kiss.

Evan: He smiled warmly and leaned to the side where Andy was sitting, planting a gentle loving kiss on Andy's lips, slightly blushing at the thought of us all watching

Andy: He smiled happily at me as Evan grabbed the bottle and spun it

Evan: Smiled softly at me as the bottle once again pointed at me

Congo: I'll take truth again, please…

Evan: He smiled at me softly Are you ready for the wedding?

Congo: I chuckled softly As ready as I can be. I quickly explained everything to Robert, and along the way of course invited him to join us for the wedding 3 days later. Then grabbed the bottle and spun it, chuckling cheeky as it landed on Daniel Truth or dare Mr Hartwig?

Daniel: Grinned wide Dare!!

Congo: I chuckled warmly and everybody laughed at Daniels growing enthusiasm Alright… I dare you… to… kiss…. no… I dare you to…. it was fun seeing his enthusiasm getting ready to burst to… go grab another round of beers for us all… I laughed warmly as he pouted dissappointed

Daniel: Okay… he pointed his tongue at me as he got up, and quickly ran inside, only a minute later he joined us again with a flock of beers, sat down and spun the bottle fast, grinning wide as the bottle pointed at Andy Truth or dare?

Andy: Chuckled hoarse Uh… truth…

Daniel: Who is the best kisser around this fire?

Andy: chuckled warmly Do I HAVE to pick?

Daniel: Nodded eagerly Yes!

Andy: Uhmm…. he chuckled hoarse and blushed lightly I can't choose… uhm… Robert?

Daniel: Looked at him surprised You kissed? He laughed loudly as he finally got it was a joke Ahh good one!

Andy: He chuckled warmly and grabbed the bottle, spinning it lightly Ahh… speaking of the devil he smiled warmly at Robert Truth or dare?

Robert: He smiled warmly I'll go with truth, please.

Andy: Are you happy you decided to stay?

Robert: Yes, I am very happy I decided to stay. I'm having the most fun I have had in years! That might be the joints doing, but I like to think it's the great company. He smiled warmly at all of us you seem like a nice group of people… I'm happy my son has people like you in his life. He sipped his beer lightly and spun the bottle, chuckling softly as it once again landed on Daniel Truth or dare?

Daniel: Dare!

Robert: Chuckled warmly I dare you to light another of those miracle joints.

Danie: Fuck yeah!! I thought no one would ever say it!! Glad at least one around this fire gets me! He laughed warmly and we all laughed with him

Congo: I'm pretty sure we all get you, and got what you wanted… Robert is just the only one nice enough not to tease you.

Daniel: Rolled his eyes You people! I don't know why I put up with you? We all know I'm better than all of you!

We all laughed loudly for quite a while, and as the joint started circling between us, even I joined in

Daniel: Spun the bottle and smiled eager as it pointed at' Evan Truth or dare?

Evan: Sighed softly Truth.

Daniel: Are you happy your dad is here?

Evan: Nodded softly and smiled at his dad Yeah… it's nice to see him happy.

Robert: Smiled warmly at his son and took a drag of the joint

Evan: Grabbed the bottle and spun it, smiling lovingly as it pointed on Andy Truth or dare?

Andy: Truth…

Evan: Will you still love me when I get old and wrinkly?

Andy: I will love you even more! He leaned in and gave Evan a long and tender kiss, then kissed his forehead gently when he pulled away to spin the bottle Ahh Miss Diamondsheart… truth or dare?

Sparkle: Giggled softly for quite a while

Andy: What's so funny?

Sparkle: My last name… continued giggling

Andy: Started chuckling

Daniel: Chuckled warmly I think you have both had enough!

Sparkle: Coughed softly to pull herself together Uh… truth please.

Daniel: Smiled satisfied Who has been your best fuck ever?

Sparkle: Shook her head and chuckled softly You Daniel…

Daniel: Smiled bright I like that!

Sparkle: Of course you do! Pointed tongue at him and spun the bottle Daniel… truth or dare?

Daniel: Truth….

Sparkle: Who has been your best fuck ever?

Daniel: Grinned wide Andy. Sorry Sparkle…

Sparkle: No no… who can ever compare with Andy? She chuckled warmly and pointed her tongue at Andy

Andy: Chuckled hoarse and smiled satisfied

Daniel: Spun the bottle Ahh Robert… truth or dare?

Robert: Chuckled softly Truth, please.

Daniel: So now when you're practically a free man, are you gonna run your horns off then so to speak?

Robert: Coughed a bit on his beer laughing I don't know Daniel. Let's get the divorce papers signed first? But it's not too far off, maybe I should? Lord knows I haven't had good sex in a couple of years, and I could really use to let some steam off very soon… sorry Evan…

Evan: Grunted softly Yeah, no… it's okay… understandable I guess…

Robert: Smiled apologizing at his son

Daniel: So you're horny?

Robert: Smiled softly at Daniel Let's just leave it at that.

Daniel: Chuckled cheekily Alright, your turn.

Robert: He spun the bottle softly and smiled relieved as it pointed on me

Congo: I'll take dare for a change

Daniel: It was just, I have someone in mind if you needed to let some steam off…

Robert: Chuckled warmly and smiled at me I dare you to make Daniel stop talking…

We all laughed warmly

Congo: I can do that I winked at Robert and smiled cheekily at Daniel Shut your mouth, boy.

Daniel: Bit his lips and moaned softly

Robert: I'm impressed. You should do that some more… you seem to have a good grip on him.

Congo: Yeah, trust me on this one I chuckled hoarse I shouldn't… at least not while you're around, or it might end up in another sex scene unfolding in front of you I winked at him and spun the bottle

Robert: Looked a bit confused Ohh… so… oh okay he chuckled warmly and grabbed the joint as Andy passed it to him

Congo: Truth or dare Andy?

Andy: Licked his lips hungry Dare…

Congo: I dare you to… kiss me…

Andy: Bit his lips hungry I can certainly do that! He slowly crawled closer, and leaned in, kissing me passionately for a good minute before he drew back and returned to his spot, spinning the bottle, I can't say I didn't feel ready to eat him right there and then, damn those joints always got me fired up! Truth or dare Sparkle?

Sparkle: Mmm… I'll take dare this time She smiled goofy and chuckled, clearly very stoned at this point, and I can't say the rest of us were less stoned

Andy: I dare you to kiss… me?

Sparkle: Instantly blushed bright red Uhm… would that be okay? She looked a bit hesitating at Evan, but as he didn't protest, she leaned towards Andy and placed a big kiss on his lips, quickly drawing back again and sipped her beer shyly as she spun the bottle Uhm.. truth or dare Evan?

Evan: Just stared blank into the fire with no certain expression on his face

Sparkle: Earth calling Evan?

Evan: No sign of him hearing anything at all

Andy: Are you okay? He lightly brushed a few strands of hair behind Evan's ear and kissed his cheekbone softly

Evan: chuckled softly Sorry… got a bit lost there… as he looked up he had a goofy smile on his face, and his eyes was very red, not from crying, but from the joint. Somehow Evan seemed to be the most stoned one of all of us

Andy: So, you're good? Chuckled hoarse

Evan: Nodded very slowly, and his speak was also very slow and blurry yeah… I'm good… he chuckled softly I just need…. to lay…. and watch the…. stars…. he bumped down on his back and laughed softly as he spread his arms out to the sides

Andy: Observed him for a while chuckling

Sparkle: Chuckled softly is he alright?

Andy: He good… he real good….

Sparkle: Chuckled Should we?

Andy: Nah… it's better we leave him like that, right now all his worries are gone… he deserves this. He spun the bottle and chuckled hoarse Truth or dare Robert?

Robert: Smiled warmly Truth.

Andy: Do you trust us with your boy now that you have come to know us all a little better?

Robert: Smiled warmly I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else in the world… you are all the perfect people for him to be with… specially you and Congo… thank you… all of you.

We continued playing for about an hour before Robert decided he was too tired and wanted to go to bed, and as I got up to help the very stoned Robert to bed, I noticed Sparkle had fallen asleep a few meter away from the rest of us on Daniels jacket

Congo: I'll take care of her when I get back…

Daniel: No… I can just…. started chuckling uncontrollably

Congo: Yeah… don't… I'll do it when I get back. Stay where you are. That's and order… boy!

Daniel: Bit his lips hungry and moaned as he let himself fall down in the grass

Congo: I smiled softly at Andy who was finishing the last joint we had lit 15 minutes ago I'll be back shortly… I'll just quickly help Robert find his bed, okay? Have fun!

Spokane's Missing Persons: Is Robert Thompson the Unidentified Man in Cadillac Apartments

The Man in the Apartment

As firefighters rushed to put out the second blaze at 228 W Sprague Ave that year, 1978, they found a deceased man on the second floor in an abandoned apartment. The first fire was in a restaurant on the main floor. This one had apparently started where the man lay, a lit cigarette most likely catching his sleeping bag on fire after he fell asleep. The medical examiner determined he was 5'6", around 130 pounds. He was missing his teeth and his left index finger. He showed signs of liver disease -- possibly due to alcoholism -- and Osteoarthritis in his lower back. But without fingerprints or dental records to go on his identity could not be verified.

Who is Robert Thompson

Robert Theodore Thompson was born in Bixby, South Dakota in 1932. His family took up residence in Corvallis, Oregon. He moved around a lot, following fairs and circuses and working as a cook. He also was missing his left index finger. According to his daughter, DNA has been submitted to see if there is a match between Robert and the John Doe in the Apartments.

A potential sticking point in the case is the time. Robert went missing in 1974 but, assuming the man in the apartment is indeed a match, he wasn't found until 1978. However, since he was by all accounts transient and without knowing how closely he kept in touch with family, it's not at all outside of reason to assume four years would not have been a long time to go without contact from him. As is repeated over and over again in the unidentified cases that are eventually solved, the family knew the person to be difficult to pin down. They lived in multiple areas, sometimes multiple states. They often led a vagabond lifestyle.

It is also possible the family may have assumed at one point that he wasn't coming home at all. His family grave in Corvallis has his name In Memoriam. Not the action of people who still anticipate the arrival of their brother.

As always, these are difficult cases and my heart goes out to them. I hope the Thompson family gets answers soon, so Robert can get the proper rest he deserves.

Chapter 46 - Lost in thoughts again. Episode 4. Congo: I woke up early that morning by some noises in the garden, sounded like…. Daniel and Robert? I moaned softly and stretched quietly looking to my side, getting quite surprised as I found Evan already looking at me.

Evan: He blushed softly Oh…

Congo: I chuckled softly What?

Evan: He chuckled shyly Nothing…

Congo: Judging by his blushing he got shy I had caught him starring at me, so I chuckled again and planted a tiny kiss on his forehead Good morning. I stretched my neck a bit to look behind him Andy's still asleep?

Evan: Yeah he nodded he's sleeping like a stone!

Congo: I chuckled softly As always. How long time has that been going on? I pointed towards the big window in front of us, clearly gesturing towards the noise in the garden

Evan: Hm… about 15 minutes, at least… it woke me up.

Congo: What are they doing anyway?…. it's only I looked at my watch 8.12? I frowned softly Why on earth are they up so early roaming around the garden?

Evan: It's Daniel…. who really knows what's going on in Daniels head?

Congo: I nodded You might be right there I smiled at him softly Alright, I guess I'm gonna go down and see what the fuzz is about I made a move as to get up, but Evan quickly wrapped an arm over my chest, gently pressing me to stay down Or not? I smiled softly

Evan: Please stay here a bit… just a couple more minutes…. it's so cozy.

Congo: I tried my best to hold back a giant smile, which resulted in a shy chuckle instead Okay… I can do that.

Evan: Mmmh… he snuggled his face at my chest and breathe me in I like your smell…

Congo: I smiled softly And what do I smell of?

Evan: Mmh.. I don't know… wood? There's always this mild scent of wood on you, even after you shower. There's always a tad of coffee… Whiskey… he sniffed again mmmh… some spices, and some sort of perfume I can't quite make out. And warmth… just warmth and comfort.

Congo: Mmh I kissed his hair, sniffing him in as I closed my eyes, smiling happily I like your smell too.

Evan: He smiled bright And what's my smell?

Congo: I chuckled warmly Musk… always musk and sometimes a dash or myrrh… other times there's a hint of Amber… but always just a lot of Evan…. and that's my favorite one.

Evan: Mmmh… kiss me He smiled at me warmly, how could I say no to that face?

Congo: I bend my head down to him, planting a few loving kisses on his lips, smiling at him warmly as I stopped Did you sleep good?

Evan: I slept better than I have in a long time…. I was so relaxed…

Congo: That's nice… that's really good my voice was warm and deep

Evan: Yeah… how about you?

Congo: I slept like a dream… having you in my arm all night, is always a great pleasure… knowing you're safe…

Evan: Yeah… I really love hiding by your side…

Daniel: YAWN!!! He walked into the room fast, heading towards the kitchen there's only so much soap opera mumbo jumbo I can listen to before my ears falls off! He chuckled hoarse and opened the fridge, searching for something

Congo: I sighed deep and shook my head Maybe you shouldn't listen in on other peoples conversations then?

Daniel: Maybe so… but it was either that, or walking in on you two kissing, and I assumed Evan might just turn into a tiny mouse and run and hide in a hole in the wall if I were to see forbidden deeds like that, although I have seen you two kiss in the kitchen already, but hey details like that seems to be forgotten, and we all know I always remember who kissed who, and most importantly who fucked who! He grinned with a chicken leg in his mouth as he for a second peeked at us from behind the kitchen door Anyway… he mumbled due to the chicken leg I jusssht came up heeer to tell you two Akn isshhere to talk with you about the resssultsch ofthe testreshulsts.

Congo: No one understands half of what you say with that chicken leg in your mouth.

Daniel: Pardon me he slammed the kitchen door and grinned us again, then took the chicken leg out of his mouth, munching it a bit. Akin, test results of your blood, sick boys, he has words for you… go go… you find big man in garden! Big man make fire! Big man has news!

Congo: I chuckled deeply and shook my head Alright alright…. I shook my head again and grabbed Evan's boxers, quickly handing them to him, then managed to locate my own, and grabbed those as well, getting them on under the blanket. I'll quickly put some coffee on and go get dressed… let's take it to the balcony so we don't wake up Andy, hm? I assume you want to be a part of it, as I expect him to have news about you know what as well?

Evan: He nodded at me and sighed softly Yeah… I'll go get dressed… meet you in the balcony 5 minutes from now? I'll pick up Akin on the way.

Congo: 5 minutes later, Evan, Akin, Robert, Daniel and I were gathered on the big balcony where also the hot tub and the big barbecue grill plus outside dining table were located. We all had something to drink. Most of us coffee, while Daniel had settled for a beer.

Akin: So, the news are good. You are both cleared now… no more to find in your blood samples. It seemed to be a minor virus infection you got, due to the bonds. I guess both your bodies needed to adjust a bit, that's all. I have no answer as to why Andy didn't get affected, once again I guess it's just the magical mystery of Andy? He chuckled warmly You should both be okay, and no need to worry about affecting others any longer either. You might still experience some tiredness, but beside that everything should be normal. As for the mate bonds and getting married. We have after much searching been able to find one other case like yours, back in the early 1700… where a young woman got married to two male mates. Neither bonds broke. Actually the quite opposite happened. The bonds got re-enforced and seemed stronger than any mate bonds ever made. Creating some very unusual strong connections between the people involved. Nothing bad, so please don't worry. It was more like a certain awareness of the people in the bond, such as detecting their mood better than you would normally detect a partners mood. A deeper understanding of each other. A deeper connection so to speak. It's hard to explain really, as it didn't explain in details. But I would expect it to be something in the same direction of what you and Andy used to feel back when Andy still had a bit of supernatural blood and you two exchanged blood. He nodded at me Back when Andy could feel your feelings… But nothing quite as intense as that, so you should be able to breath freely and not feel buried under supernatural things again, as I know you wish to have as little to do with that as possible. He smiled softly Let's take it easy, and if something becomes too overwhelming, we will work it out somehow, okay? We can do lots of things, you will not be left alone in it. But the clan and I have agreed, it should be perfectly safe for you guys to get married he smiled warmly at Evan So all that's left, is to pick a date for you and Andy… or all 3 of you, if that's where you're heading? He winked at both of us and smiled cheekily

Evan: Coughed in his coffee and blushed bright red Ehh…

Robert: Who already had happy tears in his eyes from the news of the marriage, looked at us with a small squeak-like sound Is there something going on between you two?

Congo: I looked at Evan a bit hesitating, chuckling nervously Akinnnn I chuckled nervously again that was not supposed to be public….

Akin: I apologize… I thought everyone knew? It's quite obvious anyway.

Congo: I smiled a bit forced Perhaps. But we both prefer some privacy around this, so things wont be too overwhelming. Besides, there's no reason to steal the spot light from the upcoming wedding, right? So can we just keep it around this table and not let it reach more ears? Please?

Akin: He nodded agreeing Absolutely. And I apologize. I just thought everyone knew.

Robert: So… that means…??

Evan: Yes dad! He sighed deep and grabbed my hand, sliding his fingers between mine… a bit irritated, but he did it, And that was a great start Can we just… he blushed softly and sighed deep I don't want Andy to know about anything…

Robert: Andy doesn't know about you two?

Evan: I give up on you he shook his head lightly and sipped his coffee

Robert: I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep up with all of this… it's hard son.

Congo: I chuckled softly I apologize Robert, it's not your fault. Evan didn't get quite right out of bed today. I smiled softly at Evan and stroke his hand with my thumb Yes Robert, Evan and I have… found each other, and I guess we are sorta

Evan: We're a couple yes! His voice was still irritated and he only blushed more by the words, seemingly trying to focus on something on the ground, not to have to keep eye contact with anyone

Congo: I smiled softly I hope everyone is okay with that, cause that's how it will be from now on. We are all 3 a couple. And let's keep it like that for a while before talking about marriages and such I glared a bit at Akin and chuckled softly But, Robert, I assure you I love your son very much, and I will do my very best to be as good to him as possible.

Robert: Sniffled his nose as few tears fell from his eyes I know you will..

Daniel: Robbie! OI!!! He threw a pack with paper towels to Robert you're leaking!

Robert: Chuckled softly and grabbed the pack of towels Thank you.

Akin: He observed Daniel with an amused smirk on his face What happened to you anyway?

Daniel: Sighed softly Feisty Sparkle.

Akin: So what did you do?

Daniel: Why do you assume I did something wrong?

Akin: Looked at him with poker face

Daniel: Yeah, okay, you're right. I messed up. She told me she would like to take this guy, Danny, to the wedding… I had assumed she was gonna go with me. So… I guess I said a few things I shouldn't have…. and…. punched Danny? He frowned and sipped the beer And then I made fun of him for not fighting back… And then… the little one got pissed he pointed at his face and sipped his beer again

Congo: Yesterday you sai…

Daniel: Frowned softly I didn't want you to worry… you were relaxing with the long haired one he gestured towards Evan you both looked so cute… just because I'm a social fuck up who can't make a relationship work, doesn't mean I have to ruin others as well, right? He pulled his shoulders and searching his pocket for his joint tin It's fine… let her take Danny, if that's what she

Evan: No one is going to that wedding, except our family and closest friends. He looked at Daniel with an intense gaze, that somehow said 'she wont bring him as long as it's my wedding, I got your back'

Daniel: Smiled softly and lit his joint Well, that was an unnecessary pile of bullcrap drama we didn't need…. will everyone please light the fuck up? There's a wedding to be planned!

Congo: We all laughed, and for the next hour we all planned together, how, when, and where the union should take place.
