(Cal's POV)
She said yes! ...Goddess, I sound like I'm going soft... Cal, the unconnected, unemotional guy is in a relationship and is about to take it to the extreme... who would have ever thought...
I walked into the house and took a deep breath, it was time to tell my mother the news. "MOM!" I yelled, loudly enough so that you could hear my call from anywhere in the house. I heard hurried footsteps, and my mother appeared before me looking very worried.
"What's wrong dear?" she asked, "Is Morgan alright? Did something happen to her?"
"Morgan's fine mom." I said, a smile settling on my lips, "She's perfect... in fact, that's what I need to talk to you about... but let's sit down first." We walked into the living room and each took a seat in one of the chairs which were facing each other. My mother had a puzzled look on her face. "Mom." I continued, "I found my Muìrn Beatha Dàn." She gasped. "It's Morgan, Mom, She's the one... that's what I went over there to talk to her about this afternoon... we have come to an arrangement concerning her family and everything..."
"An arrangement?" Questioned my mother, smiling, "Please share."
"Her parents are very religious, very- Catholic... they would never approve of us getting a hand fasting... but they wouldn't object to us getting a Christian marriage... So, here's what we said we'd do: We have the hand fasting in private, with no one that could tell her parents in attendance, then we do not live together, so it seems we are just going out still, then we ask her parents if we can get married and do a Christian wedding further on down the line... thus pleasing both religions and resulting in no sudden deaths of Morgan's relatives..."
My mother nodded, "Sounds good to me. So Morgan said yes?"
"Yes" I said smiling uncontrollably.
"Wait- I thought you said you couldn't find your Muìrn Beatha Dàn through the scrying stone. How do you know Morgan is the one?"
"I figured that out as well..." I said, "Mother, Morgan is the daughter of Maeve Riordan, high priestess of Bellwickett... She has a protective shield over her, making it impossible to see her through a scrying stone... also she is the daughter of - Cia-"
"DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE!" My mother warned, " I am well aware of who you speak of... I would prefer if you do not utter his name... My Step-Brother is your Muìrn Beatha Dàn's father... how interesting... Very well, one can not change who his or her parents are... I'll begin making the arrangements..."
******************************************************
Mom's step-brother is Morgan's father? I wasn't even aware that she had a step brother... or a step anything! I wonder how Morgan will react to the news that she is my mothers step- niece.
"Hey Bro!" Elijah greeted me on my way to the kitchen.
"Hey Dude, sup?" I returned.
"Nothing much, how was the girl?" He asked.
"Good, We're- um... never mind- so... school tomorrow?" I said, avoiding the subject of marriage.
"Yep, unfortunately." He answered glumly.
"Don't worry. It'll be okay... listen you don't have a girlfriend or anything do you?" I asked.
"No... why? Are you suddenly in love with me?" He joked.
I laughed, "Naw, I think I have a girl that will so totally be into you, she is very... um... physical"
"Just my type!" He exclaimed, "Make sure you point her out to me as soon as you see her tomorrow! This is going to be fun!"
"Right! I'm gonna go get a sandwich or something now... have fun unpacking." I said.
"Later Bro!"
Hmm, he reminds me of myself not to long ago, except I wasn't dicking every girl I laid eyes on... Only kissing... lots of kissing... mmm
"Having a nice time in outer space?" Asked Sara, she was sitting at the kitchen counter drinking a Dr Pepper and Eating some type of soup.
"Yes, very" I answered, "Whatcha eatin'? It smells good."
"Soup... Potato soup with bacon... I made it... want some?" She asked, glowing with pride.
"Sure," I answered, smiling kindly. Having step- siblings wasn't too bad so far. It was actually kind of nice.
"So... How's your girlfriend?" She asked, trying to start a conversation, "Morgan right?"
"Yeah, Morgan is good, Morgan is VERY good..." I answered.
"Glad to hear it!" Sara responded, "I will get to meet her right? She sounds cool."
"Sure you'll meet her... in fact you'll meet her tomorrow when we pick her up for school... her car is totaled after the wreck" I answered.
" Wreck?" Asked Sara, puzzled. Right, she didn't hear about it, she wasn't here yet.
"Oh, yeah.. She was in a car wreck the night before you guys got here... she blacked out, almost didn't make it... I don't know what I would have done..." I said, "I know we've only been going out for a few weeks, but I love her so much... is that weird?"
"No." Answered Sara laughing, "That's not weird, it's sweet!"
"I'm sweet?" I asked skeptically, "Scary thought... just kidding... I'm glad it sounds sweet because it's the way I feel. It would be kind of sad if it sounded lame..."
"Kids!" Interrupted my mom, "You guys need to get to bed... it's REALLY late."
Looking at the clock I found that it was around two in the morning... I had spent about four hours talking to Sara... it had only seemed like minutes... I guess that's a good sign...
I got up and went to take a nice hot shower before bed... Tomorrow is their big day, I'm going to need energy to show them around without falling asleep ... My thoughts drifted between various subjects focusing on Morgan as I fell asleep. I could not wait 'till I saw her in the morning
