Epilogue
Two years later.
I feel the warmth on my back as my senses begin to wake me up. I am on my front with the left side of my head resting on the soft pillow. I feel the silk sheet covering the lower part of my body just above my bottom, whilst the sun streams onto my back warming me. Suddenly a gentle kiss is placed on my left shoulder and then another, the kisses move across the top of my back and I smile. I feel gentle hands following the kisses that are now travelling down the centre of my back, touching my sensual spots and making me moan softly. This is most enjoyable, a great way to be waking up. I muse to myself. The kisses increase into the small dip I have in my lower back sending a tingle through my body. This person knows my weaknesses. I murmur in the delightful pleasure the person is causing me.
"Good morning, beautiful."
"Good morning, gorgeous," I smile to myself. "I hope this is the mother of my daughter or my wife is going to be very jealous." I tease as I turn onto my back to face my stunning wife hoovering over me, her arms supporting her body, smiling with those sparkling blue eyes that I love so much.
"Well if I was her I wouldn't leave you for a second." She gently places a soft kiss on my lips.
Bo continues to kiss down my neck as she moves tentatively on top of me, our bodies melding together effortlessly, whilst my hands tenderly stroke her back. My arousal is beginning to spread and I move my hips in rhythm with hers, closing my eyes and moaning in bliss at the sensations coursing through my body.
Mama!
Mama!
Comes the cry through the baby monitor, Bo grins and I let out a huge sigh.
"I will get her, but I need payment later." She smirks, rising from the bed and winking at me.
I chuckle, pull up the sheet, and lay back thinking of the last two years since my amnesia. Leitha had been wonderful by enabling me to recover most of my memories, apologising constantly for accidently going too far. About half of the group survived together with Frank, they had their memories changed and were integrated into a different part of the country. It was the only way Bo could allow them to live out their days, as I requested, and satisfy the Elders. The only memories I could not regain were to do with my time in Afghanistan, which is probably not a bad thing.
The wages from the Light and Dark have meant that we now live in a large modest three bedroom, two story house thirty minutes' drive outside the city, located at the edge of the countryside. With a large back garden containing a pool and the obligatory barbeque, with which we have enjoyed plenty of happy times with family and friends. The large basement is divide into two, a lab for me and a weapons area for Bo. The front of the house has a white picket fence and gate, but we do not have cat or dog yet.
I am now head of the joint Light and Dark Fae clinics and hospitals that Bo has set up, two of each so far. After the first few difficult months of convincing both sides that the establishments would be safe, they are now more accepting. With a mixture of fae and human doctors and nurses the clinics and hospitals are always fully staffed to accommodate the varying kinds of patients. Both human and fae doctors and nurses have been trained in the possible ailments of both species, and are able keep the secret through a more stringent vetting process. All the staff are paid a handsome wage, even me, which comes from several different sources including the rich fae. The Elders of the Light and Dark are more accepting of humans now that Bo has become head of the council and queen of the fae. The council of the fae, include representatives of light, dark, unaligned and Evony, and oversees any problems. Evony loves her role and is quite a thorn in the side of some of the Elders. I chuckle at that thought. Although some of the laws have been changed regarding the treatment of humans, there are a few older fae that nonetheless do not approve of the mingling of fae and humans, but recognise that Bo is very powerful and it would be foolish to challenge her. How long the statist quo will last, is always a worry. I still have a lab for my research at the hospitals when needed or, as is more recently, when I find the time.
We visit Elizabeth's homeless shelters in their new buildings down town, regularly. We have helped set up four shelters in different areas of the city, although Elizabeth still does not know about the fae, Casey does having discovered the truth through her hacking our computer system. Casey works part time at the hospital to help pay for her University costs, she rejected our offer to pay the fees, and has totally updated and maintains the IT systems. Casey is studying IT, but I expect that she can teach them a thing or two though.
Since dealing with her father, Bo is comfortable with how to control her powers and has found that she only needs to crowd feed once a week at Vex's nightclub to be satisfied. The only sex she has is with me, as our love has grown and grown together.
With the residual effects of being a conduit and Bo using hers powers in order for me to enjoy our sex life better, we found that Bo could impregnate me. The first pregnancy, some months before my amnesia, sadly ended in a miscarriage. As a result we decided to wait for a less hectic time to have a family. I had been taking a formula to prevent me from getting pregnant, however with the amnesia I did not take it, which resulted in our lovely daughter being conceived. Our beautiful daughter Charlotte was born with difficulty, but safely in one of the new clinics. The pregnancy was tough, but Bo was magnificent in helping me. The morning sickness, the strange cravings, the after midnight trips to the shops and especially putting up with my horrible mood swings. She has proven to be a loving, caring mother and wife, in amongst her other duties as queen of the fae. Elizabeth and Casey love us taking Charlotte to visit them, it is wonderful seeing the broad smile on Elizabeth's face when she is holding or playing with her.
I look down and stroke the bump signifying the coming of our planned second child, when Bo enters the bedroom with our bouncy 16 month old racing towards the bed. I beam at Charlotte.
"Be careful Charli, mama has only just woken up." Bo says lightly as Charlotte climbs up on to the bed with a helping hand from Bo.
"Mama seepy head." Charlotte shouts at me as she comes in for a hug, putting her arms around my neck and grabbing as tight as she can, I respond by encircling her with my arms.
"I wonder where she has picked that up from." I say, lifting an eyebrow whilst looking at Bo over Charlotte's head.
Bo smirks and shrugs her shoulders. "I wonder. Any way how are you feeling?"
"Fine, which is different seeing as this one gave me a lot of trouble," I say looking lovingly at Charlotte as I tickle her. She lets go of my neck and collapses on the bed giggling.
"When is the appointment love?" Bo asks walking towards the bathroom.
I look at the clock next to our bed. "In a couple of hours, so we better get a move on. You get Charlotte ready whilst I make breakfast" I reply moving to get up, with Charlotte following me.
"Okay," Bo says coming back out of the bathroom "Come on Charli let's get you ready for Grandma Elizabeth." She picks Charlotte up and heads out of our bedroom.
"Why?" Charlotte asks whilst struggling to get out of Bo's arms.
"Because mama and I are going to the hospital find out whether there is a brother or sister in mama's tummy." Bo replies.
"Sis, sis." Charlotte shouts as they enter her bedroom.
I laugh to myself as I get up, go to the bathroom to shower, clean my teeth and dress. I make my way down to the kitchen and start making pancakes, Bo's and Charlotte's favourite breakfast. Bo and Charlotte enter the kitchen just as I am plating up. Bo puts Charlotte in her chair and sits next to her, ready to cut up the pancakes up for her.
Bo grins at me. "So what do you think it is?"
"We know what it will be, love." I say giving Bo a quick kiss on the lips, as I sit next to her.
I notice her smirk. "What?" I ask puzzled.
"Nothing." Bo replies, but still smirking.
"What have you done?" I ask, frowning.
"Nothing." Bo says firmly, as I shake my head in disbelief.
"Bo if this is something that I am going to freak about, please tell me now." I say, now starting to get worried.
"I promise it is nothing to freak about." Bo replies, kissing me on the cheek. "Casey said that Kenzi might visit with Dagny soon." Bo changes the subject.
"Dag, Dag." Charlotte repeats.
"Oh great, more late nights." I reply sarcastically.
Bo giggles. "You know you love Casey and Kenzi really."
"Yes, but not together." I retort.
We deliver Charlotte to Elizabeth and watch happily as Casey starts to play chase around the garden. Saying our goodbyes, we turn and walk through the house towards the exit, hand in hand.
"So what are you going to call this one?" Elizabeth asks whilst we walk.
"If it is a girl we liked to call her Elizabeth after you." I say stopping and turning to our host. "If that is okay with you?"
Elizabeth smiles at us, one of her warming ones. "I would like that very much." she replies.
"If it's a boy, we are going to call him Ethan." Bo suddenly states smiling.
I recognise why Bo has said that to Elizabeth, as she doesn't know about the fae, so we have to give the impression it could be either. However, even though Bo can impregnate me it is certain that the baby will be a girl, as both of us are women and both contribute an X chromosome it will produce a another female.
We arrive at the clinic for my scan and sit in the waiting room. Bo is fidgeting beside me.
"I hate this waiting bit." Bo whispers in my ear as I am flicking through a magazine.
I turn towards her smiling. "It won't be long, love. It's only a formality, we know it will be a girl. We just have to make sure she is healthy."
Bo smirks again and leans in to me. "Are you sure?" She says just before leaning over more and kissing me gentle on the lips.
Before I can ask her what she means the nurse calls my name, and we follow into a side room for the ultrasound. I lay on the bed, undoing my pants and shirt a little way for the nurse to obtain access to the bump. The cold gel is applied and the nurse moves the wand over my bump. Bo is holding my hand, whilst watching the screen intently. Slowly the picture shows our baby.
"There you go, a nice healthy baby." The nurse states as she stops the wand over the baby.
My mouth drops as I look carefully at the screen and gasp.
No! That can't be right.
Bo beams at me and squeezes my hand. "Say hello to our son Ethan."
The End.
Thank you for reading this first piece of writing I have completed, and I hope you have enjoyed it.
