The Visitation by Frank Peretti

(9.5 out of 10! Love yourself enough not to watch the film adaptation, thank you~)

Sparrow insisted that this is one of the best books he'd ever read. I was surprised upon reading the description because Sparrow is also openly agnostic and uncomfortable with organised religion. I knew even this fact was worth me stepping outside of my usual genres and into Christian fiction, but I couldn't predict how universal the plot points would be.

The plot is mostly from the third person POV of a retired pastor, Travis Jordan, in the small town of Antioch. He's recently widowed, depressed, and hardly taking care of himself. Then, nearby, a statue of the Virgin Mary starts to weep and the population whips itself into a nearly mob-like frenzy as they discover the tears actually have instant healing properties. Arthritis is instantly soothed, paralysed limbs become mobile. Then people begin to see 'Jesus in the clouds.' And then, right on time, a mysterious stranger looking a lot like Jesus, 'Brandon Nichols', shows up and performs healing miracles. This promptly forms a cult of people who believe they are now personally involved in the Second ComingTM.

The cult aspect, of course, is what I find uniquely fascinating about this story. Not only is the town referring to Nichols as Jesus, but local Mary Donovon convinces herself that she is actually the Virgin Mary reborn. She even starts referring to when she raised Nichols/Jesus fondly, just seemingly making up random stories that seem straight out of a Bible 'slice of life' fanfiction. You even had a John the Baptist. Everyone just gathered around Nichols and started LARPing as Bible characters, which turns into a realistic combination of laughable and eerie. The most memorable moment for me is Mary, dressed in robes in the grocery store, when someone asks how she's doing. "My soul doth magnify the lord. And behold! These peas are on sale."

Travis, despite his embittered state towards the idea of 'Taking Antioch for Jesus' isn't buying Nichols' scheme, so much of his plotline is discovering Nichols' fascinating hidden past and also recounting his long, fraught journey into preaching. His gruff but cheeky point of view added just the right amount of humour to what can be considered a harrowing tale. One of my favourite lines: "Kyle wasn't just an accident waiting to happen. He was a disaster trying to happen."

Honestly, this was sublime if you're Christian, agnostic, or even religiously traumatised. Peretti's antagonists use the idea of God to sow chaos and create horrifying abuses of power. And his protagonist uses his own belief in God to try to take down the false Messiah/abusive cult leader. It speaks a lot about religious trauma---What happened to Nichols at the hands of a pastor is horrific, but Travis Jordan had also had his fair share of toxicity within the church. From uncaring, prayer-factory super churches to stuffy, tenured preachers that want nothing to do with change, even (or especially if) it hinders progress. There were also repeated references in Travis only wanting to preach the word of God, but how his fellow churchmates just devolved into wailing in tongues. He and his allies were a refreshing rational voice in the sea of spiritual frenzy and obsession.

Not to mention, everything about Nichols was eerie. His charisma, his bursts of anger as the mask slips, his apparent omniscience, his sickeningly ironic backstory, his powers. The author could have made him cartoonishly evil and made this a typical 'Christians vanquish the actual devil', but he made Nichols relatable not only to the religiously traumatised, but also the protagonist himself. There were so many layers to this book and I'll be thinking about it from years to come.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

I did have just a few minor problems with some of the narration. The reader is led to guess early on that Travis' departed wife may be the reason he stepped down from being the Pentecostal pastor. But even with the dozen or more flashbacks that depict the lead-up to their relationship, I didn't really see it give insight into why Marian's death caused Travis to resign. Was it because prayer couldn't save her? But I thought he'd learned that lesson early on with some of his church members? There seems to be a huge blank between her death and his life as a jaded but knowledgeable former pastor.

I also wish there was more of a follow-up to the day that this cult tore the town apart. I want to know how families reconciled, I want to know where everyone else was a year from the incident, I want more information about those who died that day and its general impact. Seeing Travis remarry was cute and all, but you had demons tearing dogs apart and an electronic store that blew up, I want to read more about that!

I think I'll start posting here again. I realized its a good way to vent even if no one ever sees it. Here's zelda but cool.

AIGHT

the time is come for me to talk about my fourth ritual and MEETING MY FICTIONAL HUSBAND FACE TO FACE

My friend picked me up and we drove to the venue, we got into our outfits (I wore a cape that is VERY similar to Copia's cape that my friend made me) and we ended up making friends in the VIP line.

Then we got our VIP merch which I'll share later

We went into the Veneration of Relics, which is the same room that we'd be meeting my husband later. Some VERY intimidating music was playing as we got to take pictures with the bodies (FAKE) of my parental f/o Nihil and my brothers Primo, Secondo, and Terzo. It was VERY eerie.

After that I got to get some merch at the merch table. I got some pins and also a poster!

So we waited until 7:15 when the meeting Papa begins. In the meantime, we made some friends in line, got some free dip n dots from the nice ladies working the stand, and chilled out.

We didn't get to see the two openers but honestly hearing it I wasn't missing much

And then....meeting HIM? MY FICTIONAL HUSBAND? MY PAPA IV? MY HUSBAND?

my friend gave me a pep talk before I went in by myself, because damn it I had so much anxiety pent up. The damn intimidating music from earlier was still playing and IT DOESN'T HELP THAT THE BODIES OF THE EMERITUS FAMILY ARE STILL ON DISPLAY. I put my stuff on a table before I was let into a curtained off area....

And there he was. Holy shit he WAS PRETTY. also jeez I forgot that he is actually not much taller than me. But oh my goodness. I knew there was a barrier with plexiglass, but HE CAME FROM BEHIND IT AND STOOD ACROSS FROM ME, JUST A COUPLE FEET, TO TALK TO ME. he was gorgeous oh my lord-

He said hello and asked how I was, as well as saying he liked my cape!

Ofc I asked him how he was doing too, and he said he was doing very well! He said my cape was "very velvety" and omg I had to keep myself from bursting out laughing. I showed him the inside and he was like "yeah yeah yeah!" I told him I was here to celebrate graduating college and he said "congratulations! That is an enormous feat!"

I told him it was a coincidence because it room me four years, this was my fourth ritual, and he was Papa IV, and he responded "I think the fourth ritual tops all of that"

Then the picture was taken. Forgot to ask for a pose and take off my mask bc I was so transfixed on Copia tbh.

Then he congratulated me again and wished me well in life, and he was like "you're doing more than me, I have no degree"

And I said "no but you've done enough, like you deserve this

"Naww, thank you"

And he said to take care of myself, I said you too,

And I said bye Papa

And that was it.

When I got out of there, I wanted to cry. Like....I met him. The love of my life. Selfshipping with that man for four years, it was the sweetest thing. And I'll never forget it.

Then my friends and I, after we all met him, we went into the pit and waited for Ghost to start!

Amazing as always! I didn't see much because we got there late and ofc tall people. But that was ok. From my line of sight I could see Aether and then diagonally through some heads I could see Copia down on the catwalk. My phone sucks so once again my pictures I didn't take many. But they put on a great show as always!

Oh also after the show we waited for hours where the buses were. Swiss and Fire came over to say hi because they felt bad we were standing in the misting rain. It was so cool to talk to them for a couple minutes and say thank you and all that.

We left the venue around 2 in the morning, I got a PB and j sandwich at a gas station so I could eat, and then my friend brought me where I was staying, which put me getting to bed at almost 4 in the morning.

This is a night I'll never forget, for sure. My husband, my love, I love you. And it was a privilege and an honor to see you.

Returning the favour for those DIFFICULT questions (which I'll answer ASAP) 😁 , #5, #9, #13, #20, #31, #33 -that-scouse-wizard

LOL that was the point 😁🤣 Alright, hit me with your best shot!

5) Do you think any of the Hogwarts staff ship them or think they’re cute together?

Professor Flitwick, 1000%. Judith did confess that she fancied Talbott in his classroom back in their third year before erasing his memory. He’s been waiting for the two to get together. He better against other teachers that they’ll get together.

Professor McGonagall as well. I like to think of her as their Animagus mother and thought the two were quite cute together. She’s the only professor who believes Flitwick and smirked as the other teachers gave up their Galleons after losing the bet at the Festival.

9) What’s their primary love language (words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, or physical touch)?

Oooo, good one.

I would say quality time.

They both enjoy spending time together. They can focus on each other and not the stressors outside of their relationship. They feel the most at peace with each other. 

Fifth-year was a tough one because Judith spent a lot of time with Rakepick and her team of Curse Breakers. It didn’t help when she’s constantly being pushed to focus on the task at hand and to revise for the O.W.L.S. She rarely has time for herself, let alone spend time with Talbott.

It did affect her depression (which she hid) and it wasn’t until 6th year where things began to smooth over and they could spend time together again. It was a rough time for her and Talbott. Since Talbott rarely sees her, he can’t help her release the pent-up emotions and irritations building inside her.

Even Judith becomes more selfish with her time, so she can have quality time with her bird boy.

13) What’s the dumbest or most ridiculous thing they’ve seen each other do?

Lol, okay another good one.

For Talbott, it would when Judith said she wanted to adopt a Ukrainian Ironbelly. He knew that she loved magical creatures but he sometimes feared for her wellbeing. 

It wasn’t until she invited out to Scorched Valley at the Creature Reserve. Talbott didn’t see his girlfriend around until a giant shadow covered him. He looked up to find blood-red eyes staring down at him. Judith was sitting on the massive dragon’s head, covered in soot and waving at her shell shocked boyfriend

“Hey, Talbott! Meet Iroh, my Ukrainian Ironbelly! Wanna go on a ride?”

That was the last thing Talbott remember before passing out.

For Judith, it was when Talbott wanted to try out her training regime as a Beater.

“Talbott, no offense, but you’re asking to get hurt.” She tried to warn him. He insisted.

It wasn’t until he got smacked in the face with a Bludger. Judith didn’t know if she wanted to laugh, wince or shake her head but decided to check to see if her boyfriend’s nose was broken.

20) What’s their least favorite thing about each other?

Hmm...

For Talbott, it’s how Judith tends not to take care of herself when she’s under stress. And how she suppresses her feelings and tends to go into hiding when she wants to be alone. 

For Judith, it would be Talbott telling her that he’s fine when she could clearly see that he’s not.

“I’m fine, little bird honestly.”

“Tell me that again when you’re not ready to burst into tears. Get your feathery arse over here and just listen to the sound of my heart.”

31) If one of them were to die, how would the surviving party react?  Who would take it the worst?

Oof, you went straight for the jugular...

If Talbott were to die, Judith would have to put on suicide watch. Not to spoil any future writings, but basically, Judith has this extreme fear of the words “I love you” because everyone who said that to her is either gone or has left her. At that point, she would be completely torn and just want her life to end because she wouldn’t have much to live for (in her opinion).

If Judith were to die, I can imagine him mourning for years. She would’ve been all he had left. The one he let into his lonely heart, only for her to die, and effectively leaving him alone all over again. He would never let her memory die.

33) Is there any circumstance in which you could see their relationship falling apart?  If so, what and how would they handle it?

I’m going to be completely honest, no I can’t. Not to say this as a super hardcore shipper but because of how I can see their personalities and how their past is set up.

Both of them has lost people in their life. Very important people.

Both of them are slow to trust others, especially with something as precious as their wounded hearts.

Both of them are hesitant to let people in and see the real them.

To let the other in and at some point breaking up and walking away? Nah, can’t see that happening here.

Like I previously said, Judith has a fear of the words “I love you”. If you say that to her, she will lash out in anger. 

You have to really mean that phrase. She doesn’t like letting just anyone in. And Talbott isn’t just anyone to her. Talbott would see her the same way.

Whew, that was a lot. Goodness, @that-scouse-wizard you definitely put me to work lol

Magical girl au Chapter 4

Yang: *bursts out laughing in the quiet of the room* “how long were you sitting on that one?”

jaune : *grinning ear to ear* “all my life i’ve been waiting to use that” *nods his head* “nailed it”

Yang: *laughing harder now* “you certainly did loverboy, you certainly did”

Jaune: *raises an eyebrow* “loverboy?”

Yang: *looking away* “er right what I meant was…”

Jaune: *shakes his head* “it’s fine, just don’t go spreading that around the school. I’ve got enough problems without thirsty thots trying to get in my pants”

Yang: *goes quiet* “where’d you get those scars from?”

Jaune: *looks yang dead in the eye, the quiet of the room becoming oppressive* “I fight a lot, but that makes me wonder”

Yang: *Tries to look away but can’t*

Jaune: *leans forward* “how exactly did you fight like that? I saw no skill. Just pure power and don’t get me wrong I’ve got enough sense to know when I’m in over my head. I’ve fought… things, way stronger than me”

Yang: *takes a step back*

Jaune: *eye’s almost glowing with intensity* “how exactly are you that strong yang?”

Yang: *stays quiet and sweats under the intensity, opens her mouth to answer, Not sure if it would be the truth or a lie*

Nora: *dramatically opens door downing the last of her drink* “jaune-jaune we’ve come to save you!”

The atmosphere of the room suddenly lifts

Jaune: *starts laughing* “I’m saved! Oh, how can I repay you oh valiant queen Nora?”

Nora: *wiggles her eyebrows* “Well, Rennies here too, you wanna fool around?”

Ren: *sighs, but smiles* “it is good to see you well jaune, can you leave?”

Jaune: *forces himself to stand not letting the pain show on his face* “yeah I’m fine, might try skipping school tomorrow though” *leans in and whispers conspiratorially* “there’s this crazy blonde chick who beat me up there”

Nora: *whispers back* “I think she might be in this room jaune!”

Ren: *smiles* “perhaps Nora and I might do the same then, I have been in need of a personal day”

Nora: “Even Renny's in on it! He never lets me get away with this jaune. I told you he had a crush on you!”

Ren: *sighs*

Jaune: *wiggles his eyebrows suggestively*

Nora: *wiggles eyebrows*

Ren: “both of you stop that”

Jaune/Nora: *wiggle aggressively*

Ren: *sighs with a smile on his face* “might I inquire as to why you took our dear friend?”

Yang: *coughs awkwardly* “I uh… kinda hurt him accidentally and felt bad”

Ren: *looks at jaune, who is still aggressively wiggling his eyebrows with Nora* “then we shall leave it at that *turns to walk away smiling ruefully* “come along children”

Jaune: “can we stop for Wc Ronalds on the way back”

Ren: “there’s food at home”

Nora: *fake cries* “I hate this family” 

Jaune: “yeah you never let us do nothing”

Ren: *opening the front door giving a brief nod to summer on the way out who was on the phone* “that’s because when I do, I find you passed out bleeding in front of a burning warehouse”

Jaune: “one time!”

Nora: “he’s got a point jaune-jaune, today it’s an extra milkshake, tomorrow you’re selling crack and taking over the criminal underground” 

Jaune: *looks at Nora incredulously* “that’s a pretty slippery slope there Nora”

Nora: *nods sagely* “that’s why we listen to daddy!”

Ren: *sighs* “please don’t call me that”

Summer tensely waited to qrow to pick up the phone, she wasn’t blind. She saw those scars on that boy like he’d been ripped apart and stitched back together several times. She knew only one man who was like that.

Qrow: *over the phone* “eightball's pool hall eightball speaking”

Summer: *shakes her head with a smile* “I know it’s you qrow, I need your help.  I think I found a kid going through the same things you did,”

Qrow: *worried* “that bad? I mean, my dad was a real piece of work. You saw what it did to raven”

Summer: “he honestly looks more beat up than you do”

Qrow: “I fight grim and criminals for a living”

Summer: “he’s more scars than skin qrow”

Qrow: *is quiet on the line*  “… alright, I'll… I’ll look into the kid, but if he’s mixed up in the criminal world like I was he’s gotta be willing to leave it, raven’s a good example of what happens when you try to force people to be good”

Summer: *smiles* “thank you qrow, thank you so much”

Qrow: “don’t get too attached summer, you can’t save everyone”

Summer: “you don’t get it qrow, this kid… he’s special. We need to save him. If his parents are like yours…”

Qrow: “I’ll try summer that’s all I can do”

Summer: “I know, thank you qrow”

Summer hung up after qrow, part of her wondered if she was trying so hard to save jaune because he reminded her of Tai.

Tai, and qrow both. 

Idly she thought of how she and Tai were but that led to thoughts of what she raven and Tai got up to.

It was only when she placed jaune in one of her fantasies that she forced herself to stop. 

She clearly needed an outlet if she was thinking about a boy half her age just because he was blonde with blue eyes. She hadn’t been with anyone since Tai, nor had she really felt the urge. Depression then several years of constant struggle against the forces of Grimm solo had really put the kibosh on her sex drive. 

She was glad ruby wouldn’t have to face the Grimm alone like she had but… she wasn’t sure those girls were ready for the responsibility that they had. Even with all their power, the idea of maiden’s was a new one and Oz gave up most of his power to make them. On top of qrow’s enhancements. The old wizard was stretching himself too thin. 

And now her baby girl had brought home a young blonde so much like she had (though her meeting with Tai had been much like ruby’s rather than yangs) was she really that pent up that any young blonde would do?

She shook her head that could all wait for later, for now, she would start on dinner, and yang would start on her baked apology. The fastest way to get a boy to forgive you was to bake him some sweets.

Jaune sat at his table head down, hood up as Nora and Ren spoke around him, their voices calmed him, let him know things were safe. And all in all, gave him a peaceful nap.

The day since Yang's beat down of him had been quiet. Even the Grimm had been quiet which really helped as he was trying to recover from his last fight. He’d made great progress though. Probably because he wasn’t having to push himself anymore

Yes all in all things would calm down now

Yang: “hey loverboy, I made you this”

A plate of cookies was slammed down in front of him as either side the other maidens of beacon sitting. Ruby took the seat just next to him as Yang sat across.

Ruby: *puppy dog eyes* “can you share?”

Yang: “rubes you had your own plate earlier, these are Jaune’s”

Jaune heard the whispers of loverboy all around him

By the end of lunch, the school would have heard of it.

By the end of the day, he was gonna have idiots thinking with the wrong head coming after him to try and claim yang for themselves

And he was going to have to fight all of them

Jaune: *takes a cookie, eating it* “fuck my life”

Yang: *looks around, then back to jaune sheepishly* “well at least they’re not talking about the thing with you molesting ruby anymore”

And now he had to deal with rumors that he was sleeping with both sisters goodwitch already had it out for him this would be just the excuse she needed to make his life harder

Jaune: *deadpan face* “thanks sunshine, ya really made my day brighter”

Fast cars & Freedom: From the ground up (14/?)

Ellie gets a surprise visit and revelations are made. Catch up HERE.

Pairing: Logan x Ellie, Colt x Ellie

Raiting: Mature

It had been a few days since the Divorce hearing, well the hearing that came to an abrupt halt when she fainted.  Ellie sat curled up in the couch attempting to watch a movie, her mind everywhere else but. She finally had the answers, she knew who Luca's father was and she spoke with the Judge via CCTV. Big changes were coming and she wasn't exactly sure how to move forward. It was Friday night and she still had not heard from Colt.  Her dad and Sally away at the grand canyon, Luca had a long week at school and went down easy.

Riya had texted her several times asking her if she wanted her to come over and have a girls night. The doctor had given her the clear to leave with minimal restrictions except to stay hydrated and eat, that and follow up with her doctor. The diagnosis something she did not expect, she wasn't really sure how to tell those closest to her so she said nothing at all. Ellie heard the thunder outside, the rain had picked up as well.

 They weren't expecting a storm but they helped her sleep, and how she needed the sleep. She stood up, turning off the Tv and making her way to the stairs when she heard a knock at the door. It was 9pm, who would be there that late. She walked to the door, cautiously opening it, she was surprised to find two dark eyes staring back at her. "Colt?"

He stood there soaked to the bone "Come in here, what were you thinking driving your bike in the rain." She ushered him inside and closed the door behind him. "I don't know, I just needed to get out. So I drove, and I ended up here." He spoke as Ellie ran and grabbed him some towels. "I shouldn't be here." He wiped his face and headed towards the door.  "No. Colt wait. Don't go." He abruptly stopped, the sound of her telling him to stay made his heart flutter, but it was quickly snuffed out by the hurt and anger he had pent up. "Why do you care huh? Im yesterday's news. You didn't waste any time divorcing me." He snapped.

"Im sorry Colt. I-" she tried speaking but he cut her off. "I love you Ellie. I always fucking will, but you never gave me a chance." His voice getting louder. "I know and I'm sorry I hurt you but if you-"

"I know, You're sorry.  Sorry doesn't help my hurt. I should go." He cut her off again.

"You're an asshole." Ellie snapped, Colt gave her a half chuckle "I'm an asshole?"

"Yeah. And a cocky smart ass too." She stood her ground.  

"Well thanks a lot for stating the obvious.  I thought you were smarter than that." He scoffed at her. "Good luck with Logan.  I'm sure you guys will make a real great family." He turned hand on the door. "I couldn't go through with it." Colt froze in place, unsure if he hear her right, or if she meant what he thought she did.  He turned looking at her. "What did you say?"

"I didn't go through with the divorce. Its you Colt, it's always been you. I was just to stub-" His lips crashed against hers, silencing her immediately as she melted into his kiss. "I love you." She whispered as she pressed her lips to his again. "I love you too." He pulled back their eyes locked, searching one another for some sort of sign. Ellie pressed her body against his bringing her arms up around his neck, her hands threading his dark locks before slipping down pulling the damp shirt over his head.

They made short work of their clothes, Colt lifting her by the thighs and carrying her to her bedroom. He laid her down on the bed, he carefully climbed on top of her, his lips finding hers, this time much softer. "I feel like i'm dreaming. Like i'm going to wake up and you'll be gone. I'll be alone again."

She grabbed his hand guiding him up her sides "You feel that? This is real. I'm not going anywhere, I'm yours colt." Her words igniting a fire within him. "You're mine." He whispered into her lips as he lined himself up, and slowly sank into her. He set his pace slow and steady, he wanted to take his time with her, to show her how much he needed her, to please her. His hands tangled in her hair, their lips pressed together, swallowing each others moans, his thrust hitting just the right spot each time. He could feel her walls fluttering around him, he knew she was close,  he also knew he wouldn't be able to hold back much longer after that. He lifted her legs slightly so she could wrap them around his waist, he thrust deeper as she called out his name, coming completely undone. A few pumps letter he found his own release.

He rested his head against hers, looking into her eyes. "I love you,  so much." He kissed her nose. "Mmm I love you too." He rolled over on the side of her, resting his head against her chest. The steady beat of her heart beginning to lull him to sleep. "Colt."

"hmmm." He murmured.  "I'm pregnant." He propped himself up on his elbow "Yeah?"

She nodded her head. "I found out when I fainted at the court hearing. Im about 6 weeks.  Turns out, we're pretty good at making babies." She giggled.

In that moment Colt was over the moon, He got his wife back, and she was giving him a baby. "You have no idea how happy you have made me." He tilted his head kissing her. "Wait, you said babies. Are there two? is it twins?!"

"No. Just 1 in there." She waited for him to catch on, And finally he did. His eyes went wide. "Are you saying? Does that mean?" He sat up in the bed, the tears now welling in his eyes.  "Luca is your daughter. You were right all along." Colt was never one to show emotion, but his heart was so full he thought it would surely burst. He went through his whole life feeling like something was missing, feeling half full. He chalked it up to his father pushing him away, but now he knew that it was Her, this family they made, that was the missing piece.

Ellie told him about how she fainted at court was taken to the hospital where they ran blood test. Logan telling her she was making a mistake, his words hitting her hard. So when Darnell came in and they had the video chat with the judge, she informed her she was not wanting to go forward with the divorce.  Instead she wanted her last name changed, and pending a positive paternity test, Luca's last name changed to Kaneko as well. The doctor giving them the results to the paternity test right after, and then she found out she was pregnant.

Colt pulled her close to him,placing frantic kisses all over her face. "Are you happy?" She giggled as he pulled away.  "Hell yeah!" He grinned placing his hand on her flat stomach. "I can't wait to have a son. One of each, I just. I can't even wait. I love you Elle."

"How do you know its a boy. We have a girl, maybe it's another girl." She countered. He gave her a sideways smirk "wishful thinking."

"So um, not to kill the mood but. I take it Logan knows." She nodded her head yes. "He does. He was a little upset but honestly he took it pretty well. He's just excited to be uncle Logan, and spoil her rotten."

He chuckled "He's a good guy," Ellie shot him a surprised look "Don't make me say it again."

"And Luca? Does she know?" Colt traced lazy circles on her invisible bump.

"Not yet. I think we can tell her in the morning." She smiled down at him.

"Sounds good to me, but until then." He smirked as his placed open mouth kisses on her neck. "Were not getting any sleep tonight are we?" She softly moaned out. He shot her a mischievous look as he made his way down her body. "We have 6 years to make up for. What do you think?"

The next morning Ellie woke up to an empty bed, she would have thought he left if it weren't for the aroma of bacon teasing her nostrils. She got dressed and crept down the stairs to find a shirtless colt standing over the stove. She leaned up against the entryway watching him "the bacon grease is gonna get you." He turned towards her,  "No it's, oh shit. Ouch. Ouch. Not." He said dropping a slab of bacon i to the grease jumping back. Ellie squeal in a fit of laughter. "Oh you think that's funny?" He rushed over tickling her. "NOOOO, Colt, stop it." She giggled, finally he pulled her into him, wrapping his arms around her. "Morning Wifey.." He murmured, brushing his lips against hers. "Good morning, hubby."

They pulled away hearing the echo of little footsteps coming down the stairs. Luca appeared moments later, her eyes lighting up immediately "Colt! You're here, you're here." She ran into his arms. "Hey Princess. I missed you." He picked her up hugging her tight. "I missed you Colt. Don't leave anymore." She nuzzled her head against his shoulder. "I won't. I'm not going anywhere anymore, I promise." He sat her down at the table next to Ellie, he went over to the stove pulling the food of and plating them. He sat two plates full of food in front Ellie and Luca before grabbing his own and joined them. "Mmm chocolate chip pancakes my favorite. And mommy, look its Mickey Mouse!"

"Grampy told me chocolate chip pancakes were your favorite." Colt beamed. "Can you cook us breakfast every morning Colt?" Luca said as she enjoyed her breakfast. Colt and Ellie shared a look. Ellie cleared her throat "Well baby, we have something we would like to tell you."
