Chapter Fifteen

Two days later I got a heart-breaking call from Sis. Larry was dead. He was riding in a helicopter, going to an offshore facility. The aircraft crashed, killing all passengers. The body lost, and they were doing a burial at sea ceremony without a body.

Our conversation lasted about an hour since she needed a shoulder to lean on. She told me before we finished talking that she was planning to move back to the states. Her plan was to live close to me. I asked her why not moving in with Auntie. It was almost a guarantee that Aunt Myrtle would be glad to have her. While talking, I also mentioned that I would have a house in a few months. Once our new house was finished, I told her that could have the farmhouse already on the property. She wanted to know why I was building a new house next to Auntie. This brought me to the good news that I was getting married.

“Which one of the girls are you marrying?” was naturally the first question she asked.

“Well, Sis, I’m marrying both of them. Not legally, of course, but we are having a ceremony for all three of us and we will just go on from that point,” I explained.

“In the history of the witch, a male witch has almost always been required to be married or mate with multiple partners. I guess what you guys are doing is right in alignment with our culture,” she said. “Let me think about the house. An apartment in town may appeal to me more than having a house to myself.”

Service men had few worldly things, so she would be here in a week. She said she might stay with Auntie until she found something locally. I felt bad for her. I knew it would kill me if I lost Shawna or Trisha.

Two days later, the girls and I had our big talk with Auntie. That’s a little incorrect. The girls had their big talk with Auntie, and I mostly listened, nodded or smiled occasionally. It was smart to keep my mouth shut. That way I didn’t put my foot in it.

The only serious shit was the witch thing. The girls didn’t hesitate a minute about talking about what they needed to know about marrying into a witch family. Things like would their first-born child be offered as a sacrifice on a blood altar. They went down the ladder from there. I must say that Auntie never got her feathers ruffled and tried to help my ladies adjust to the fact that their husband would be a witch.

Before this confrontation, I had naturally sat down and talked to Auntie and Len about telling Shawna and Trisha that I was a witch. I also mentioned that I had divulged that most of the females in my family were witches. Auntie wasn’t pissed, but said I should have talked to her first. I told her it was spontaneous, along with my proposal. My explanation was that I got emotional at the moment and blurted it out.
