Plumber Base: Medic Ward
"What is going on?" A groggy Swift asks as she wakes up from her sleep
"Nothing much, you just had a really long nap" Ben answers
Swift looks over and sees Ben standing next to her bedside
"How long have I been out of it" Swift asks Ben
"I really don't think you should know" Ben says
"I need you to tell me" Swift says
"You've been asleep for five years" Ben tells Swift
Swift doesn't know what to say, she just grows extremely quiet before she sees that Ben is trying to keep a serious face and hold back some laughter
"Don't make jokes like that" Swift says punching Ben in the arm only to flinch from pain
"Careful Emily, the doctor says you need to take it slow while you recover" Ben tells Swift
"You mean the doctor who also happens to be your wife" Swift says
"Unfortunately we aren't married yet, I think we are waiting for Benjamin to fill the nest up a bit more" a voice says
Ben and Swift look over to see Mina walk in with her white lab coat on and clipboard in her hands
"Geesh Mina, don't say things like that, you know how easily embarrassed I get when you talk about my love life" Ben replies
"Are you embarrassed of us?" Mina asks in a joking manner
"No, I would never be embarrassed of you" Ben answers
"Please stop this show of emotion, it hurts just watching it" Swift says
"Alright Emily, I checked your vitals and looks like you have a clean bill of health" Mina says
"That is always good" Swift says
"However while you continue to recover, I suggest that you take things slow and try not to do much physical activity until you are ready" Mina says
"Oh by the way Benjamin, I've got those papers that you wanted" Mina adds handing her clipboard to Ben
Ben takes the clipboard and goes through the papers on it
"This is really good, thank you Mina dear" Ben says kissing Mina on the cheek
"What is so important about those papers?" Swift asks Ben
"Well Emily, these papers here state that you are able to be released from plumber custody but will be checked on by a parole officer, oh and once you finish some classes you will be eligible to rejoin the plumbers" Ben answered
Swift didn't know what to say, she just laid there awe struck by what she had just been told
"How? Why?" Swift asked
"What you did back in the cell block proves that you are a good person and deserve a second chance at helping people" Mina answers
"Oh by the way, your parole officer will be me and tomorrow you'll be moving into your new place" Ben tells Swift
Time Skip
Apartment Building
The next day came and Ben was busy helping Swift move into her new place. It was a small one bedroom flat like apartment on the third floor. Swift didn't really have anything but thanks to Ben and the plumbers they were able to get Swift the basic necessities. Food, furniture, utensils, personal care items and clothes, all pretty basic items.
"Alright Emily, here are the keys to your new place, I will be checking up on you every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Sunday" Ben told Swift as he handed her the key
"Thanks again Ben" Swift said taking the key
"You've pretty much got everything you need here but if you want to buy extra stuff you'll need money" Ben said
"How will I be getting money?" Swift asked
"Here is a card that has enough money to last you for a month, each month money will be reloaded on here until you complete your classes and rejoin the plumbers" Ben answered handing Swift the card
Swift took the card and put into her pocket
"It is best advised that you try and avoid doing anything that will strain your body until you've fully recovered" Ben says
"Who suggested that?" Swift asks
"Well Mina, your official doctor recommended that and you now how she gets when you don't follow her medical advice" Ben answered
Swift shuddered a bit remembering the last time she didn't follow Mina's orders
"Alright then, it looks like I need to be leaving, remember our first check up meeting" Ben said as he walked to the door
"Wait Ben" Swift said grabbing Ben's arm
"What is it Emily?" Ben asked
"Thank you for believing in me and giving me this second chance" Swift answered thanking Ben
"This is mostly because of you, if you hadn't shown so much want to be better then non of this would of happened" Ben said
"You believed in me" Swift said hugging Ben before flinching from the pain
Ben didn't know what to say, he kind of blushed at Swift's show of emotion
Time Skip
Bellwood Elementary
"So what are you going to name that one?" Ray asked Lucia pointing at a silhouette of an alien on her omnitrix
"That's a Biosovortian, my papa calls his Lodestar but I want to be original" Lucia said
"So you don't have a name for it then?" Ray asked
"No, its kind of hard for me, I'm not like my papa when it comes to naming them" Lucia answered
"How about Polaris then?" Ray asked
Lucia thought about the name Polaris for awhile
"That sounds like a great name" Lucia answered
"Cool, if you have any more you can't name let me know" Ray said
Over with Eira and Sammy, they were playing on the swings. Eira was still confused about how she should feel towards Sammy but Mina's advice did help a lot
Flashback
Ben's House: Eira And Lucia's Room
"My sweet Eira, you have your first crush" Mina said
"What's a crush?" Eira asked
"Well, a crush is when you really like someone but you are nervous or embarrassed to tell them that you like them" Mina answered
"I have a crush on Sammy?" Eira asked
"It looks that and from what you told me, I think she has a crush on you as well" Mina answered
"But mama Mina, Sammy is a girl and so am I, is that wrong?" Eira asked Mina
"Sweet girl, there is nothing wrong with you liking Sammy even if both of you are girls" Mina answered hugging Eira
"But mama Mina it still seems wrong to me, you and the other mamas love papa and your girls even aunty Gwen loves uncle Kevin and she's a girl" Eira said
"Look at me Eira, you are your papa's special girl, there is nothing wrong with liking Sammy like we love your papa but remember this, many won't agree with your love like most don't except your father loving so many people, don't let them stop you from being you" Mina told Eira
Flashback Over
Bellwood Elementary
"Hey uh Sammy" Eira said as she swung
"What is it Eira?" Sammy asked
"About the last time" Eira said
"Yeah about that, I am sorry if I came on you too strong" Sammy said
"It's not that Sammy, I actually wanted to thank you for liking me for me and saying is was beautiful" Eira replied
"Then what is it Eira?" Sammy asked as she slowed her swinging down
"I don't know if you feel the same way but I think I like you" Eira answered stopping
"I like you too Eira" Sammy said
"No, not that, I like like you" Eira replied blushing
"I like like you too" Sammy replied smiling
Time Skip
The day was over and it was time for the kids at Bellwood elementary school to be picked up or ride the bus home. Eira and Lucia waited for Ben to pick them up like he usually did. The girls didn't have to wait long as Ben was already pulling up.
"Hey girls, how was school today?" Ben asked as he got out of the car
"School was good" both girls answered as they got into the car
"No fights I hope?" Ben asked
"Nope" Lucia answered
"Not a single one" Eira said
"That is good to hear, oh guess what? Your mama Isis is making something really special for dinner" Ben said
Both girls cheered as Ben got into the car and drove off towards the house. As they drove home, Eira decided to tell Ben about her and Sammy.
"Papa, there's something I need to talk to you about" Eira said
"Yeah sweetheart, what exactly did you need to talk to me about?" Ben asked
"Well I already talked to mama Mina about it and she said that it was OK if I told you" Eira said
"Okay, I'm all ears" Ben said
"Well, I like Sammy and Sammy likes me" Eira said
Ben was confused a bit by that
"That's great that you have a friend that you like" Ben said
"Not like that papa, I like Sammy like you like our mamas" Eira replied
Ben was a bit shocked that his daughter had already had a crush and now was in a relationship with someone
"Please don't be mad at me papa" Eira said
Ben stopped the car and turned around and looked at Eira
"Eira, I love you and would never be mad at you, just please don't grow up so fast" Ben replied pinching Eira's cheek
"Oh yeah papa, Sammy wanted to know if the two of us could spend the night at her house?" Lucia asked
"This Friday, sure I don't see why not, just no funny business" Ben answered in a joking manner
Ben then started the car and continued on his way back to the house
"Hey why don't we listen to some music" Ben said
Both of the girls cheered
"Great, this is one of your papa's favorite classic songs" Ben said as he turned on the radio
"Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga, Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga, Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga, Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga" the song started out
Elsewhere
"So why all of a sudden did you decide to change your plans to free me?" Khyber asked Albedo
"Don't ask me ask the crab" Albedo said
"Alright, what do you want from me Psychobos?" Khyber asked the crab like alien
"Well Khyber, I changed our plans because you can be of some use to us" Psychobos answered
"And what would you exactly have me do?" Khyber asked
"You see that young Necrofriggian over there in the cage?" Albedo asked Khyber pointing over at the red Necrofriggian in the cage
"Is that one of Tennyson's children?" Khyber asked
"No, it is mine but unfortunately it doesn't possess evolved DNA in its body so its only use is giving us bits and pieces of normal DNA" Albedo answered
"How would I be able to collect this evolved DNA?" Khyber asks Albedo
Ben's House
"Man Isis, this dinner is really really good" Ben said as he ate his dinner
"Yeah mama Isis, this is really great" Eira said
"Really good" Lucia said as she went to take a bite of her pasta
"Thank you my pharaoh and you young ones, I worked very hard on this meal" Isis said
"I am able to taste everything you put into it" Eunice said as she ate
"The meat you used really really tastes amazing" Diana says
Ben and the others laugh
"What is so funny?" Diana asks confused
"Nothing Diana, you just are being yourself" Isis answered
A/N: And done, another chapter out of the way and I do hope all of you readers enjoyed it. Sorry that there wasn't much action in this chapter but I was still developing Ben's and Swift's relationship. Yeah Albedo has a plan, I wonder what it is, can you take a guess as to what it is. Coming up in future chapters there will be a new harem member arriving on the scene. Can you take a guess as to who it is going to be? With that out of the way, I will be answering questions and responding to comments from the last chapter. redfro, I can exactly give you an exact order of when each girl will be introduced into the harem because I'm just going at random. However you should be expecting the arrival of Lucy into the story in the next chapter. With the question answered let's get to responding to some comments from the last chapter. Ohma flame, that one kind of made me laugh a bit, super funny and where do you come up with that stuff? Now as usual, thank you for reading and for your support, I will be seeing you all later
