Ten months. It had been ten months since Cody and Bailey had said goodbye in New Orleans. Ten months since Cody got to go back to his old life and do well in school and graduating in the top two percent. He would have graduated in the top one percent but he was behind in social standing and he had to get the teachers to like him again. During that time, Zack's grades didn't drop substantially but just enough so that he went from a straight B student to a B and C student. Nevertheless, Zack had done better in school more so than compared to the rest of his academic career once Cody had disappeared from his life. At least he wasn't getting any D's while Cody ranked back up to a straight A student.

When Cody had been back home for about a month, Carey and Kurt came to the family suite together and announced to Zack and Cody that the wedding would be held on December tenth and that they were the best men. Zack rolled his eyes but Cody's eyes glimmered with joy. Carey and Kurt also told their sons that they would have small ceremony at the hotel and that Mr. Moseby would marry them. Zack and Cody both seemed fine with arrangement but Cody asked what will be done about the food. Kurt asked Cody is he also would like to make a menu but allow Chef Palo to cook since he'll be busy being a best man. Cody agreed with the proposal. The wedding was a success and Cody couldn't have been happier.

Another continuous event that occurred during the ten month period until Cody saw Bailey again was that they sent each other texts every other day, called each other at night most nights, and sent letters to each other. At first when they sent letter, Cody and Bailey were playful with each other simply informing the other what was the biggest news of that day or week. As time went on, Cody and Bailey got a little more romantic writing letters to each other and then eventually some saucy sentences here and there. There were a few occasions where they would give the other one a photo of themselves that went with a letter. Cody sent Bailey a photo of him with Zack and his parents after the wedding and explained in the letter what was going on in the photo. Bailey sent Cody a photo of her and Diane sitting next to each other on the couch just being two sisters looking like how siblings should look: loving yet annoying. Diane was trying to push Bailey out of the frame but Bailey fought back or at least that's what it looked like to Cody while he looked at the photograph.

One May evening when Cody and Zack were done with their homework and they were getting ready for high school graduation, Cody was admiring one of Bailey's latest photos of her while he lounged on his bed. It was just a picture of Bailey sitting back on her bed but she wore an outfit that got Cody's blood flowing. The outfit wasn't terribly revealing but it was revealing enough to get a guy's attention and leave the rest to his imagination. As Cody looked at Bailey in the photo, he rubbed one of his thighs as a way to comfort himself since his mind was busy driving him crazy. All he thought about was him and Bailey spending quality time together. Most of his short fantasies involved a secluded area, at night and in the most private part of a house or cabin and somewhere in the woods or rainforest. Cody could feel his mind get all fuzzy and his groin area was warming up. But just before Cody could go any further with his fantasy of seducing Bailey, Zack barged in the room and saw the photo. He snatched it from Cody's hand and looked at him. He guessed that the beautiful girl in the photo was Bailey and even Zack had to admit that Cody was right: she was beautiful. More than beautiful, she was hot! Zack could even feel himself warm up. Cody took the photo from Zack's hands before he could begin to drool and whacked him in the head stating that only he was allowed to be aroused by Bailey's photo. Zack pleaded Cody to share Bailey with him and Cody explained that there are certain things and people that you don't share and Bailey wasn't a girl to be 'shared' between twin brothers. Zack then begged Cody if he could borrow the photo and Cody whacked Zack again in the head stating that Bailey is too good for anything to happen to her or to photos of her with a guy she hasn't met or like. Cody then went on to say that even he wouldn't try to please himself in the presence of Bailey's photo but certainly had the right to if he wanted to. Zack grumbled wondering why and how Cody got such a hot girl to talk with him. Cody told Zack to bug off since he was in the middle of spending some time with Bailey or at least her photo. Fortunately, the little incident with Bailey's playful and saucy picture was taken care of and Cody kept it in a safe place.

When summer rolled around, Cody and Bailey continued to communicate with each other through photos, letters, texts and phone calls. There were times when Cody talked to Bailey after dinner for two straight hours just romancing her over the phone. On occasion on a weekend night, Bailey would call Cody to seduce him or when she had a bad day the she would vent to him. When he was being seduced over the phone, Cody could always feel his pants tighten. When Bailey called him to vent about her family and friends to him, he felt honored that she told him about her problems. He knew that they shared a real love and that made him happy. It had all the right elements that signified their love as something strong and very real: passion, lust, playfulness, innocence, compassion and understanding. Cody was convinced that his love for Bailey was real not just because of the elements that it so but also because they would fight and make up. They even laughed over childhood memories that they shared. And when it was indicated in a letter that one of them got an injury or a little sick, one of them would console other through a phone call with their voices laced with worry. However, they still yearned to be near each other because there was nothing quite like being able to touch and hold the one you loved. Physical touch and feel was one the thing that Cody and Bailey lacked and wanted the most. But all of that changed when they had decided to go to Yale together. Bailey could only get a scholarship to there and Cody was able to go to any college that Bailey was able to go to. And so, once summer was over, Cody and Bailey made their way to Yale and contacted each other for the first two weeks of classes before they could settle on a day to meet with each other since they had not coordinated to try to get classes together. They would fix that problem the next semester and for the future years to come.

Cody and Bailey finally made plans to have their first date together on a Saturday night after the third week was up. They would have met a week prior but they got a little busy. On Saturday night, Cody dressed up in laced black vans, black slacks, a dark blue collared shirt and a green, light jacket. He checked his wrist watch to see when he had to pick up Bailey at her dorm room and saw that he had ten minutes. He quickly grabbed his wallet and cell phone and shoved them in his front and back right pants pockets. The cell phone went in the front and the wallet went in the back. Cody then grabbed a bouquet of half a dozen Irises and a box and card that he could carry in one hand. Then he grabbed his keys and left the room locking it behind him. He made a mad dash to Bailey's dorm room and made it a minute before he had to pick her up. Cody got his breath and then knocked the door. Bailey opened it and had a wide smile on her face. She was wearing a blue and white dress that had an empire waist and went just past her knees. The dress was accompanied with a pair of white flats.

"Hi, Cody! You're just on time."

"Thanks. This is for you."

Cody then hands Bailey the Irises. She has a sparkle in her eyes.

"Cody, you remembered…..How sweet."

"Oh, it's no big deal. But you might want to put them in some water because I have two more things to give you."

"Oh, Cody, that's not necessary. I'm just glad that you came. The Irises were icing on the cake for me. What else could you possible give me?"

"Chocolate sprinkles and cherry to go with the icing."

"Very funny."

Cody playfully shoes Bailey away so she'll put the Irises in a vase of water.

"Just put the Irises in some water and come back."

"Alright."
Bailey rolled her eyes in amusement and left Cody. When she got the flowers in a vase with water, she came back to Cody as soon as possible.

"So, what else do you have for me, Candy gram man?"

Cody then gave Bailey a card sealed in an envelope and a red box. Bailey opened the card first and read it. When she was done reading the card, Bailey had a huge smile on her radiant face.

"That was a really sweet card, Cody."

"I know, but now you got to open the box."

"Okay."

Bailey carefully opens the red box and finds a snow globe in it. The snow globe had a miniature replica of Dorothy Gale and Toto in her picnic basket standing underneath a rainbow. If it was even possible, Bailey's smile had widened and then she flung her body onto Cody's and brought him into a tight and loving embrace.

"Thank you so much."

Cody rubbed Bailey's back before he drew away from the hug.

"I just remembered that you were Dorothy Gale last Halloween and I knew you liked snow globe so I got you this."

"Thank you, Cody. I really love it."

"I'm glad. May we go and start our first date?"

"Just a moment. Come in while I take care of a few things."

"Okay."

Cody walked inside Bailey's dorm room as he waited Bailey to be ready. Bailey had set down the card and snow globe safely on her desk next to the vase of Irises and grabbed her small handbag that carried her personal belongings and a white sweater to go with the rest of her outfit. Once she had all that she needed, Bailey then looped her right arm through Cody's left one.

"Now, we may go."

"Wonderful."

Cody and Bailey leave the dorm room and Bailey locks it behind her and Cody.

The date went smoothly. Cody and Bailey first went to a café for dinner and then they saw a comedy at the movie theatre. Afterwards, they found a park to take a night stroll through. Midway through their stroll, a young man around their age got in their way. He appeared to have his eyes glued on Bailey.

"Hey, cutie. What are you doing with this dud? You can hang onto my arm."

Bailey was flabbergasted and offended. Cody was just plain outraged. He immediately walked in front of Bailey and stood in between her and the guy.

"Excuse me, you asshole, but I don't appreciate you hitting on my girlfriend. So, if you don't mind, we'd like to finish our walk."

The guy just laughed. He doubled over and was laughing so hard that he was crying. Cody could feel a large amount of adrenaline rushing through his system. He could feel another feeling but he couldn't identify what it was. As soon as the guy was standing up straight, Cody gave him a punishing blow to the stomach which made him fly ten feet back through the air and had hit a tree. Cody unclutched his fist.

"What an idiot."

Bailey casually approached Cody and patted his back to calm him.

"You might have been cured but there always will be some little bit of werewolf staying dormant most of the time. I guess you called it for some help."

Cody quickly turned his head toward Bailey.

"What do you mean? That was sheer adrenaline and anger."

"Cody, don't try to cover up. You know you also had some killer instinct in there. But you had the decency to hold back."

"You really think so, Bailey?"

"I'm pretty sure. Don't worry about it though, Cody. You're a full human and that's all that matters. It's just that you have a fragment of your werewolf side somewhere inside of you. You're more like ninety nine percent human."

"But-"

Bailey placed her fight index finger over Cody's lips.

"Shh…Everything is fine. I'll love you no matter what or who you are. You're my Cody."

Then Bailey took her finger off Cody's lips and then playfully rubbed his ear lobes with her fingers and thumbs. Cody began to happily pound a foot. Bailey leaned in and whispered in one of Cody's ears.

"Besides, I'll be needing you to have extra energy for future love making."

Blood rushed to Cody's cheeks. Bailey had let of Cody's ears and blew in each one as her hands rested on his shoulders. Cody felt weak in the knees. Bailey finally drew away.

"Plus, it's nice that my boyfriend can defend me. Thank you, Cody."

"You're welcome."

Bailey bit her lip and smiled. She took Cody's left hand and they strolled right out of the park. They walked back to campus and Cody escorted Bailey back to her dorm room.

"Thanks for a great time, Cody."

"It was my pleasure. When will we get to see each other again?"

"That's up to you."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, after our little run in with that jerk, I'd thought that you would want to keep your girlfriend safe from sexual predators. My roommate, Clair, won't be back until tomorrow night so I'd thought you want to keep my company, Cody."

Cody didn't get what Bailey was getting at. Then he suddenly got the message when Bailey flashed him a flirtatious smile and leaned against her dorm room's door even so slightly licking the tip of her top lip. Cody's mouth was dry.

"OH."

"You don't have to stay with me tonight if you don't want to. You can stay with me if you want 'mark your territory'."

Cody's mouth twitched.

"Bailey, we shouldn't be in the same room at this time of night."

"Why not? We're in college. It's not like we're at some academy or boarding school or some other college prep school. This is it. But regardless what your decision is, I'll respect it and I'll still be grateful for this night."

Bailey then grabbed onto Cody's shoulders and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek. She pulled back and turned toward the door and fiddled with her keys to find the right one for the lock. Once Bailey opened the door to the room, Cody could feel something boil up inside of him. Before Bailey could cross the threshold, Cody grabbed onto her waist from behind and breathed heavily on her neck. Bailey had a wicked and most satisfied grin on her face. Cody began to nibble onto Bailey's neck and dug his hands into Bailey's sides. He didn't have claws or fangs but he still retained an animalistic lust and a killer instinct. Bailey invited Cody inside of her dorm room and from that moment on, Cody and Bailey were never again separated. They had a happy and healthy relationship with a little extra spice as compared to other couples on campus.

The next Halloween night, Bailey went as a sexy yet playful school girl with her hair in pigtails. She got the attention of other guys' and purposely provoked and seduced Cody. She wore knee high socks, black high heels, a short, red skirt, button up shirt, a red necktie, and plastic, black glasses. She wanted Cody to make it clear to other guys that she was his. As for Cody, he had dressed up as a high school teacher with a plastic ruler as a prop. And he certainly kept Bailey close to him and kept other guys to stay away from them. And there were days long after that Halloween night in which Cody would discipline his naughty student and give her a lesson she wouldn't forget. Many months afterwards were full of meaningful bonding time that included intellectual and emotional connections. But there would be times when Bailey would wake up the small part of Cody's werewolf-like side if they had a very long dry spell of sexual activity. Certainly, they would have friendly competition and would partake in physical activities such as Ping-Pong, mini golf, bowling and the like when they didn't need to wrestle naked in bed.

Long after their undergrad studies and Medical School, Cody and Bailey kept staying strong and loving each other to no end. They led happy lives being happily married. When the time came, they would have their first child out of three early in their marriage. Cody and Bailey had left their worries behind them and shared the rest of their lives together. They finally could feel that their lives were complete.

The End.
