Chapter 13
April 14, 2022 at 9:00 am
Sportacus sat in the wheelchair van as it drove through the winding roads leading back to LazyTown. It was an hour drive and that gave him plenty of time to think about the whole episode inside his head. Especially since everyone had gone back before to prepare things.
In some ways, the above average hero felt betrayed. His mother hadn't told him everything but she might have been trying to protect him. However that hadn't worked out so well in the long run.
Joshua's skills had come out right away and now the above average hero understood why his son would be a little hesitant to become a hero. Yet, as Robbie had told him, Joshua still wanted to be a hero. Should I let him, if he's going to get in an accident and take his girlfriend with him? He thought to himself. If I don't will he hate me? How do I explain any of this to Stephanie or Joshua? Thoughts buzzed through his head.
Soon the driver announced that they would be in LazyTown in five minutes. Sportacus hoped he had come to the right decision and hoped he could discuss it with Stephanie before going ahead with anything.
"Here we are sir. I'll be right over to help you out." The van driver smiled.
"Thank you for everything, Henry." Sportacus said as the young man operated the lift and grabbed his bags.
"No problem. Wow!" Henry exclaimed when he saw what appeared to be left of LazyTown.
"Yes, wow. But we'll rebuild." The above average hero told him.
"I'm sure that you will I guess I just didn't realize how much damage that twister caused." Henry said.
"There you are." Stephanie smiled as she came into view. Henry's eyes went wide.
"Hey baby. This is Henry. He drove me here." The van driver was still mesmerized by Stephanie.
"Hi." He said.
"Do I have something on me?" She asked. Somehow she couldn't help but giggle.
"Down boy, that's my wife you're staring at." Sportacus teased.
"It must be good to be a hero." Henry said.
"You better believe it." Sportacus smiled.
"Ma'am, sir, I wish you the best of luck." Henry said finally regaining his composure.
"Goodbye, Henry. Thanks again." Sportacus and Stephanie told him. The couple watched the van drive away.
"Wow! I didn't think I still looked that good." She commented.
"Are you kidding me? You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met." Sportacus smiled.
"Nice try buddy. I'm still not giving you a sponge bath tonight." Stephanie's eyes twinkled. Sportacus smirked and looked at her. At thirty-nine, Stephanie's hair wasn't as pink as it used to be and t was now down to the middle of her back. She still had her curvy figure and was still agile as she had been the entire time he'd known her. Her brown eyes still sparkled when she smiled and they still pierced into him like they always had.
"Oh no. I must have something on me." Stephanie smiled pretending to check out her dress.
"I see something." He smiled.
"Where?" She asked.
"Come closer." He said. Stephanie leaned closer to him and he grabbed her with his good arm. Their lips came together and the two began to feast on each other's lips.
"Ewwww. That's my mother and father." Joshua said.
"Well they're my Aunt and Uncle." Samantha told him.
"It's the kids." Stephanie said pulling back a little.
"So what?" Sportacus smiled. The two kissed a tad more politely and then separated.
"I do believe its time to go home." Samantha said.
