Chapter 1-Accepted again
After all the rain, the humans and Wanda and Sunny, go back into their rooms. But Wanda falls pregnant. How does she and the rest of the people in the caves take it?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The caves eventually got back to normal. Something had changed, but it was better. Melanie was back. She and Jared shared what used to be Jared and Jamie's room. Jamie moved in with Kyle and Sunny but stayed in our room for most of the evenings anyway.
I had changed a lot. I was different now. I wasn't strong or tall or fast. I was weak and small and slow. People would pat my head or say how cute I was. It was odd at first but I got used to it. I still had work to do and I tried my best to work as hard as I did when I was Melanie, but I did have to rely on them a lot. This had made me feel guilty but I was always needed on supply trips. I fitted in more here, than I had in Melanie's body. I was accepted. Again.
"Mel," I called one day. "What are we doing today?"
"Kitchen." She replied simply. I already knew everything about her. She was my best friend and the wall she had put between us before had vanished. Ian walked quickly through the caves to catch us up. He had been sleeping before and I didn't want to wake him. We had become inseparable. I loved him and he loved me. There was no one to get in the way of that now.
"Wait up!" He yelled and it bounced of the cave walls. When he caught up with us he grabbed my hand and settled to our pace. "Why didn't you wake me?"
"Because you haven't had a whole lot of sleep recently." I smiled brushing a strand of hair from my new face.
"I guess." He muttered, the bags under his eyes showed clearly now. "Oh I forgot." He leaned in and kissed me. The kiss lasted about 5 seconds but was magical none the less.
He always did that. Everyday.
