Chapter Thirteen

“Okay my little loves, it’s time to go to sleep,” I said, tucking my precious babies into their cribs.

Their room was everything I’d wanted as a child and didn’t have. The walls were a bright, happy yellow and the squishy carpet was a grassy green. The ceiling was sky blue with puffy white clouds floating through it and a smiling sun peeked out from the far corner.

At night when the lights were out, tiny, bright glow-in-the-dark stars twinkled above their cribs. Turned out my buddy Simon the skunk had many hidden talents and was a wonderful artist along with being a kickass singer. He’d painted a mural of all the Shifter animals of Assjacket on the walls and it made the room even more magical.

Board books and stuffed animals finished off the living fairy tale and all the furniture was a beautiful natural wood. But the very best things in the room were my babies. Mac’s and my wonderful, perfect, little foul-mouthed babies.

“Goddess, they smell so good,” Mac said as he kissed Henry and gave him his favorite stuffed dinosaur.

Audrey slept with a one-eyed bear that had been Mac’s as a child. She dragged the sad looking stuffed animal everywhere with her. I knew it tickled Mac to no end that his daughter had taken possession of something he’d adored as a little boy.

“Mamma,” Audrey whispered as I stroked her soft cheek with my fingers.

I froze. My eyes filled with tears. It wasn’t her first word… bullshit was and Crapass was her second. But mamma was her third. And the third time is a charm.

“Did you hear that?” I whispered through my tears.

“I did,” Mac said, kissing the top of my head and pulling me close.

“Mamma,” Henry grunted, not be outdone by his sister. “Dadda. Crapass. Buwshit.”

Mac’s threw his head back and laughed. “I think you might rate a bit higher than me.”

“Dada, dada, dada, dada,” Audrey sang and clapped her hands.

“I love them so much it might be unhealthy,” I said, giggling.

“Then I’m in the same boat, my beautiful witch,” he said, patting the children’s kittens, Lucky and Charm, on their furry little heads.

They took their jobs as Henry and Audrey’s familiars very seriously and followed them everywhere. The kittens were just babies themselves, but they knew who they were there to protect.

“I don’t know what I did to deserve them—or you,” I whispered, watching Henry try to put his feet in his mouth and Audrey get comfortable on her tummy with her cute little bottom high in the air.

“I love you, Zelda,” Mac said, lifting my chin so our eyes met. “I love you and I choose you. I will choose you over and over and over again. I choose you without hesitation, without uncertainty and in a heartbeat. I will always love you and choose you.”

“My world,” I said as I brushed my fingertips over his smiling mouth. “You and the babies are my world.”

His smile undid me and I wanted to jump his bones and show him I was a really good choice, but that would have to wait.
