Hey everyone, sorry for such the long chapter update. I know I said I wouldn't wait six months to update, and well, it's been over six months. And I am terribly sorry. I've had a lot on my plate and haven't had time to write. A lot has happened since my last update. I am now an official member of the United States Air Force. August of 2011 is when I will be shipping to BASIC in San Antonio, Texas. So I am going to try may damnedest to finish this and Accident before then. Well, here is the chapter, enjoy.
Changing Colors
Dinner was done and I was about finished with washing the dishes. Yes, we do not have a dish washer like most Americans do. Either Rena or I would do them without much complaint. Though, I'm sure when Vixi is old enough, she will complain like I did when I had to do them when I was a teen. I was working on a pan when I seen Rena from the corner of my eye coming from the living room. Vixi must of still been in there because Rena had come up behind me and gently wrapped her arms around me from my back. I smiled softly as my hands continued to wash the pan that was in my grasp. She slowly moved her paws up my side and traced them down my arms to cease me from washing the pan. My smile remained as she tenderly laid her muzzle on my right shoulder.
"Are you not done yet?" She asked in a tone that was mixed between a scold and joke. I slowly turned my head so it was turned towards her.
"Not yet Rena, but I am almost done. This is my final pan to wash, then I will be done." Rena let out a soft murr as she heard that I was close to finishing. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I resumed washing the final pan. "Are we becoming impatient Rena?" She didn't like that too much, because she slowly removed her paws from my arms and let go of me. At first, I thought that she was heading back to the living room, but I was wrong. A few seconds passed and suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my ass. Rena had used her tail like a whip to get back at me. My knees slightly buckled from the sharp pain. I gritted my teeth slightly as I fought through the pain. As I stood there, slightly frozen, I could hear Rena come back up behind me and place her muzzle next to my ear.
"That's for not letting me help with dinner or with the dishes, and for your little comment just then." Her voice had a stern tone to it, but I knew that she was only joking. I nodded my head as I stood back up straight. My hands went back to the sink to quickly finish rinsing the pan and placing it in the strainer to dry. As I turned around to look at Rena, I could see her tail whip back and forth behind her. Her arms were crossed under her breasts that were hidden under her thick white mane. I leaned back against the counter top only to quickly stand back up normal due to the pain still present on my behind. She had a slight grin on her face as she stood there. I just chuckled and shook my head. She had a way in making sure that I knew if I did something she didn't like. Unfortunately, that was not the first time she had used her tail as a whip on me before. She was getting quite good at using it too. Which, was bad news for me.
Without turning around, I pulled the drain plugs from the bottom of the two sinks; allowing the water to flow down the drains and leaving the sinks empty once again. I smiled softly as I still looked at Rena. "There, I am done." Slowly, I leaned back against the counter top, being careful not to cause any more pain to my behind. Though, the pain had dulled down quite a bit now. I was able to lean back against the counter with most of my weight. "So, how can I make it up to you. Other than you whipping me?" I slowly tilted my head to one side as I asked and my voice held a sort of mocking tone to it. She converted her grin to soft gentle smile as she slowly walked up to me and placed the end of her muzzle close to my lips.
"By snuggling with me." Her voice was soft and almost not audible, even though she was so close to me. I smiled softly and closed the gap between our lips. The kiss was short, but it did not lack the passion that I was trying to get across to her. As I pulled back to break the kiss, Rena released a soft murr. Her sky blue eyes looked up to me, half opened now. I slowly moved my hand forward so that I could grasp her paw and lead her back to the living room.
"Of course hun." As the two of us rounded the corner and headed into the living room, I looked over to see Vixi still on the couch, laying in a tight ball as she watched the large television screen. The two of us silently made our way over to the couch and sat down. I sat down first so that Rena could sit on my lap as we watched the TV. As she sat down she backed up so her back was against my chest, I slowly wrapped my arms around her abdomen and held her gently. I could feel Rena murring happily from just this simple act of being together. A soft smile crossed my lips as I sat there with my mate in my lap and my daughter laying next to me. It seemed that my life had turned around completely from what is was just months before.

Day after day, it was the same thing. My life had become a constant repetition of the previous day. When I had come back to the human world, it seemed as if this world was the fantasy rather than the reality. I had my entire life taken from me in a matter of seconds and I didn't even have the chance to fight it. After my wounds had healed and I was released from the hospital, I was alone. My mother was gone, she had passed away from a car accident just before I left for the Digital World with Rena and I had no family here. Rena had become the only family I had. So when I returned, I was alone. Even with this fact, I forced myself to resume school; even though I was almost half a year behind. I was able to stay with one of my teachers until I was able to get a place of my own or until I graduated. Thankfully, that little bit of kindness gave me the strength to carry on and get a part time job. Though, I wasn't able to make enough money to get a place for rent, so I continued to stay with the teacher that had taken me in.
Years passed and my life had regained some of it's sanity. I had been able to resume school and graduate with a fairly high GPA for not attending for half of my sophomore year. After I had graduated, I looked at colleges, but couldn't bare the fact of sitting in a lecture hall for another four to six years to get a degree that would get me a fairly good paying good job. With a traditional college out of the picture, I looked to tech schools, but they held no interest to me either. Then the military came into the picture. I couldn't see myself as a grunt or a regular foot soldier, so the Army and Marines were quickly ruled out. Leaving the Navy and Air Force to choose from. I gave great thought on both, but the main con for the Navy was the deployment that was sixteen to eighteen months at a time. Thus, leaving me with the Air Force. Truly, I was always fascinated with aviation and the mechanical aspect of jets. So when I signed up and went through the processing. That was what I chose for my AFSC or in civilian terms, my job. I was to be a tactical aircraft maintenance apprentice.
I had signed up for a six year term, thus allowing me to move up the pay scale to an E-3 and having my rank be an Airman First Class. My plan was to retire from the military, so it seemed more logical to me to take the six year term rather than the four. The first year was pretty tough, mostly getting use to the new way of life. Surprisingly, BASIC was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thankfully, my Drill Sergeant did not even realize I was there until week six. When I graduated from BASIC and Tech school, I was assigned to the Air Force base in Las Vegas, Nevada; Fort Nellis. I kind of grinned at the fact that I was in Sin City working. Though, I never really hit the Casinos as I thought I was going too. Work seemed to take up the fair share of my free time and when I did have time off, I used it to rest and relax. When I was asked what sort of housing I wanted, I requested for an off base house, mostly because I wanted to be away from work when I rested. Thankfully I was granted a house only fifteen minutes away from the base that was located near Lake Mead. It wasn't directly on the lake, but I was only about five minutes from Las Vegas Bay. Which was nice since in the summer, it can become almost unbearably hot.
Then, that day that only seemed to happen in my dreams came. The man named Yamaki requesting me to come to Japan to greet my Digimon, no my mate back to the real world. Yet, I had no idea had become pregnant from our first mating and had Vixi. Who was already four at the time. When the fact that I had a family sank in, I was happy. Hell, I was overjoyed. I told myself that no matter what happened, I would risk my life to make sure my family was together always.

When I bothered to look at the clock, I was amazed to see just what time it was. The digital clock read 10:47pm. My gaze moved down to Rena to see that she was still watching the program that we have been watching for the past hour. I personally didn't care for it, but Vixi and Rena seemed to be very interested in it so I didn't request to watch something else. She realized that I was looking at her and her head moved so that she could look at me. I gave her a gentle smile then motioned my head towards the clock. Her gaze slowly followed mine until her blue eyes seen the time. Rena moved one of her paws off of her lap and gently nudged Vixi. "Hunny, it's time for bed." Just as any child would do, she gave a disgusted sigh.
"Just five more minutes. Please?" Vixi pleaded as she kept her gaze on the television screen. Rena slowly shook her head and started to stand up from sitting on my lap. I let go of her as she stood up and reached down to pick up Vixi in her arms.
"Not this time hun." Rena pulled Vixi up to her chest and gently nuzzled the side of her cheek. "Tell daddy goodnight." The small little ball of fluff looked over to me and tole me goodnight in a sweet voice. I remained in the living room as Rena took care of Vixi. Normally, Vixi would fall asleep in her room, but then come into ours in the middle of the night sometime. After a bit, Rena came back down from Vixi's room and reclaimed her spot on my lap. "Mmm, she fell right asleep." My arms quickly wrapped around her tightly as my head came to rest on the top of her shoulder.
"That's good. She's got a big day ahead of her tomorrow." I smiled softly to myself as I realize again that this is the first time I am able to be with my daughter for her birthday. Rena slowly got up and turned around. She straddled my lap as she sat back down on my lap. Her sky blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the dim lighted room. I always fell for those eyes of hers. "I love you." My voice was just above a whisper.
"I love you too Adam." She slowly leaned in and tilted her muzzle so that her nose would not crash against mine as she kissed me. My lips met hers half way as I pressed my fleshy lips against her furry ones. I could hear her murr happily as she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. The two of us held the kiss for a fairly long time before one of us pulled back. Surprisingly it was Rena who pulled back first. Her eyes were still closed as she pulled back and sat there in a state of bliss. I couldn't help but smile tenderly as I seen her cute face.
"Do you think we should head to bed as well?" My voice stayed low and passionate as I spoke to her. Rena's eyes slowly opened as she nodded.
"Yes." She thought for a moment and her cheeks burned slightly as she looked down at my chest. Her paws came up to rub my chest softly. "C...Could you carry me to bed. Like you did when I first came home?" I blinked a few times as I heard her request. Though, a smile quickly followed as I nodded and slowly kissed her lips.
"Of course I can." A smile came across her muzzle as she looked up to me and into my eyes.
"Thank you." Her voice was tender as she laid her head against my shoulder.
After a few minutes, she stood up and I quickly stood too. In one quick swoop, I picked her up bridal style and carried her close to my chest as the two of us went to bed. When we laid in bed together, she scooted over to me and pressed chest against mine. Her arms wrapped around my chest as she snuggled up to my chest. I smiled tenderly as my arms moved around to hold her as she quickly fell asleep.

Even though it was Saturday, I woke up at five thirty, thank the Military for that. I slowly opened my eyes and seen that Rena was still curled against my chest. A soft murr was radiating from her as she slept soundly. For once, I didn't see Vixi in bed. Maybe she was able to sleep through the night and didn't have to come into our room to sleep. I smiled softly as I nuzzled Rena before removing my arms from around her. She let out a soft whimper as she lost the warmth of my body. Slowly and quietly, I swung my feet onto the floor and stood up; heading to the shower. On my way to the bathroom, I grabbed a clean pair of boxers, shorts, and a muscle shirt. I took a quick hot shower and placed on my clean clothes before exiting the bathroom to head downstairs to make some coffee for myself. Just as I walked out of the bathroom, I seen Rena slowly sit up and look at me.
"D...Do you have to go to work?" She asked. Her voice was still drowsy from just waking up. I shook my head as I walked over to her side of the bed and kissed her lips.
"No hun. It's Saturday. You go back to bed and sleep for a bit longer." Rena smiled as she heard that I didn't have to work today. She nodded softly as she laid her head back down on the pillow. Her paws moved to grab my pillow to hug it to herself as she slowly fell back asleep. A soft smile crossed my lips as I seen her fall back asleep. "I love you so much." I moved out of the room and went to check on Vixi. To my surprise, she was still in her bed fast asleep. I slowly closed the door and moved downstairs to start the coffee for myself.
After the coffee was ready, I grabbed a cup and went into the garage to grab Vixi's presents and wrap them. I had already grabbed the cake last night before I went to bed. Without Rena knowing, I snuck out of bed and went down into the garage and pulled the cake out of the truck and placed it in the fridge. It took me a bit to wrap the presents. The gauntlets were easy because they were in their box from the company. Yet, the small bow proved to be more troublesome than I would of liked. Though, I guess it would of helped if I actually knew how to wrap things. I could count on one finger how many times I wrapped gifts. Just as I finished wrapping the gifts and put them back in my truck to hide them, I seen Rena come into the garage and lean against the door jam. Her tail swaying back and forth in a happy manner. I smiled softly as I stood in front of the Subaru.
"Good morning hun." My voice tender and soft as I spoke. She nodded and let out a soft giggle.
"Good morning to you too lover." She looked over to my truck. "Did you get the gifts all ready?" I nodded and looked back to the truck.
"Yes, the cake is in the fridge and the gifts are wrapped and ready for whenever you wish to give them to her." She smiled and moved from the door jam to my arms. I smiled softly as I wrapped my arms around her as my hands rested just above her tail. Her sky blue eyes looking directly into my hazel eyes. She leaned up and kissed me tenderly.
"Do you want me to start breakfast?" Rena smiled softly as she nuzzled her nose into my chest. She always loved how I smelled. I was never sure if she just liked the soap that I used or if she could smell my natural scent. My head moved in a simple nod.
"Sure hun. I'll help too. Let's make pancakes for Vixi. She always seemed to like that the most." The Vixen nodded and smiled.
"Of course. Hopefully by then she will wake up. I checked on her before I came down and she was still asleep." I nodded and told Rena that I had checked on her after I showered and told her to go back to bed. Rena lead me back to the kitchen and started to get things ready for making pancakes for breakfast. I looked over to the clock on the stove and seen it was a little before seven.
It took the two of us just over a half hour to make pancakes, eggs, and some hash browns. Just as we sat the table and placed the food on the table, Vixi slowly entered the kitchen and looked at the table.
"Are those pancakes?" Her drowsiness had quickly disappeared as her little nose picked up the scent of the pancakes. I nodded and smiled down to her.
"Well of course. They are your favorite and a little girl gets her favorite breakfast on her birthday." Her eyes lightened up as she seen that I had remembered that it was her birthday. She quickly scampered over to me and I quickly picked her up in my arms before she could even reach my legs. A soft giggle and squeal escaped from her muzzle as I tickled her. Rena smiled softly as she stood behind her usual chair.
"Come on you two, let's eat before this food gets cold." I looked back at Rena and nodded. Vixi stayed in my arms until I moved her over to her chair. I had made her a modification for her chair so that she could sit high enough and eat with us. It was very similar to a high chair, but it was made to accommodate her. Once I placed her in her seat and I sat down. We all started to eat.
About an hour later, he had all called it quits. Most of the food was gone and I was sure that all of us ate a little more than we should. Vixi was moaning out and saying that she had ate too much. Rena had a full expression on her face as well and so did I. We told Vixi that she could go into the living room and watch TV while Rena and I took care of the food and cleaned the kitchen. The two of us joined Vixi watching TV about half an hour later and I sat down on the couch. Rena moved in front of me and sat on my lap like she always did. I smiled softly as I wrapped my arms around her.
"Just don't lean back to much hun. I might get sick." I joked as I pulled her back so that her back rested against my chest. She smiled and giggled.
"You're not the only one that over ate hun." She placed her paw on her stomach and looked back at me. Vixi, who was sitting on the cushion beside us, moved over and crawled into her mother's lap.
"So what are we going to do today?" She asked as her little tail wagged excitedly. Rena looked down to her and smiled softly.
"Well, we are going to spend the day together and later in the day, you have some presents to open and some cake to eat." Rena paused and gained a motherly smile. "And on this birthday is the day that you digivolve into a Renamon like me." Vixi's tail wagged even more quickly. I could of swore it was going to fall off.
"I'm going to digivolve?" Her voice could hardly hold her excitement. I would of said something, but I had no clue about any of this, so I just sat back and smiled softly. Rena nodded and explained how it worked and all of the details to Vixi.
All of us watched television along with a few movies. Given that they were digimon, I really couldn't do what a normal family would do. Like take their child out to dinner and somewhere where they could have fun. Though, Vixi was more than happy to spend the day like we were. When it was about two in the afternoon. Rena looked back at me and nodded. That was the sign to get the presents and to get the cake ready. Truly, Rena wasn't sure when Vixi would evolve, but she knew it was going to be today. I excused myself from the two of them, saying I had to go to the bathroom. Vixi thought nothing of it, mostly because she was too involved with the movie that we were watching. I quickly went to the truck and pulled out her presents and carried them back into the kitchen. The presents were set on the counter as I moved to the fridge and pulled out the cake. I moved to the cupboard and pulled out the candles. The sound of Vixi laughing at a funny part in the movie echoed into the kitchen. I placed five of the small candles in the cake before moving over and grabbing a lighter from one of the drawers. My hand that held the lighter went into my pocket as I placed the lighter in there until I needed to light the candles. I picked up the cake and placed it on the table. After that, I quickly grabbed the presents from the counter and placed them on the table as well. Slowly, I moved into the living room and stood near the couch. Rena looked back at me and nodded.
"Vixi, how about we go into the kitchen. I think Daddy has something for you." Vixi's little eyes lightened up as she looked back at me. I affirmed Rena's statement with a soft nod. Honestly, I couldn't recall the last time I seen Vixi move so fast. When she scampered past me and looked at the table to see the cake and presents. Her little tail wagged so quick. Rena stood from the couch and hugged to me as we walked into the kitchen. She let go of me for a moment to lift Vixi onto her chair so that she could see the cake. I moved over and lit the candles quickly and looked over to Vixi.
"Now, this is a human tradition. See the candles? You need to blow them out." As I said that she started to take a breath. "But not yet." I chuckled softly. "Before you blow them out, you make a wish in your head and once you do. Then you blow the candles out. Okay?" Vixi nodded softly and smiled softly. Rena and I could see her thinking as he thought of a wish. A second or two pass and she blows out the candles. Both Rena and I clap and Rena moves up to push the presents near Vixi.
"Here I will help you open these." Vixi smiled and giggled happily as she peered at the brightly wrapped box. The first one that she opened though was the small pink bow. She smiled happily and giggled.
"Can I have it in my hair now?" Both Rena and I nodded and she smiled softly. Rena placed it above her eyes in a place where bangs would be on a human girl. Vixi smiled softly and thanked both of us.
"You still have one more to open hun." I said softly as I watched her. Rena pulled the large box in front of Vixi and started to unwrap it for her. When Rena pulled out the gauntlets, Vixi squealed. "Those are for when you digivolve hun. They are just like Mommy's except yours are pink." I could read her face, she wanted to digivolve now so that she could wear them.
After a bit, all of us had some of the cake and we had moved back into the living room to relax. Vixi's gauntlets remained in the kitchen until she did digivolve. It had to be getting around five or six, because I was starting to feel hungry when I heard Vixi say that she didn't feel good. Rena nodded and told her that she was probably going to digivolve. On cue, Vixi jumped down onto the floor from the couch and stood there for a moment. Suddenly, a small little ball of light engulfed her and my hand quickly moved up to shield my eyes. The blinding light seemed to last for a few seconds until it disappeared. When it did, I removed my hand from my eyes and smiled softly. Standing in front of me was a smaller version of Rena. In the Renamon's hair sat a pink bow. Vixi, was now a Renamon.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I couldn't think of a better chapter title, so this will have to work. Please remember to review. Your comments help a lot. Until next time, XxXDragonManXxX out.
