(Alex's P.O.V.)
I and Ashley smiled warmly. "So, Uncle...you know that grandmother and our mom have been...?", I asked quietly. "Fighting? Yes, sadly.", Uncle Josh said with a heavy sigh.
Ashley piped up, "Do you think it'll be all over once we move, and with Grandpa doing the divorce with her? Are you freaked out by your dad and your mom divorcing? I mean, Mom said that you are and were the first kid ever for them before our other aunts and uncles along with Mom came.".
Uncle Josh was silent for a moment before he replied thoughtfully. "I can't say for sure...but sometime in the future...it will all be over." Uncle Josh smiled. Uncle Josh hugged us closer to him. I smiled, "I hope so. You didn't answer Ash's second question...".
"To be honest...after seeing how Mother pushed Angela away like that...for what had happened...The mother I knew is long gone...and I am glad Dad is going to divorce her." Uncle Josh said with a quiet smile. "We're glad as well.", I said with a grin.
Ashley smiled brightly, "So, can we play, please? I mean, you are seeing us officially for this one time, and I wanna have fun with you, Uncle as we never played with you before because...you weren't alive anymore...", a frown on her face, and I was to comfort her like usual when Uncle Josh smiled reassuringly, and cradled Ashley's face with a hand, lifting her up to meet his eyes.
"There is one thing I have always wanted to do...it's something I and Angela did when she was a little girl.", Uncle Josh said with a faint smile. "What is it, Uncle?", I asked curiously.
Uncle Josh smirked lightly, and poked me on the shoulder as he grabbed Ashley along, sprinting off to the playground as he called out, "You're it!", and I laughed heartily as I realized what he did, "Oh, no fair! I am gonna get you!", leaping off the bench.
I ran after them. I then smirked as a plan came to my head. I then hid behind the slide.
"Where's Alex?", Ashley asked nearby. Uncle Josh shook his head, "I don't know. Did we lose him? Maybe we ran a tad too fast.", rubbing his head, messing up his hair slightly, and I waited patiently as they walked closer...closer..closer...Target in sight...
I then touched them in the back, and I ran as fast as I could. "You're it!" I shouted as I laughed loudly.
Time skip-
"I'm beat.", I said as I sat on the bench beside my Uncle Josh and Ashley sat on the other side. I think we played for two hours. "I'm so tired.", Ashley said with a groan.
Uncle Josh rubbed our shoulders warmly as he held us close, and he chuckled, "Here, lean on me, and I will sing you something nice, okay, pups?", and I sighed softly, "Aww, but we don't wanna go sleep! I don't want to leave ya, Uncle Josh.".
"I know..I don't want to either...but my time is almost up...and I at least want to do one more thing before I have to go.", Uncle Josh said, ruffling my hair gently. "Okay.", I and Ashley said quietly as we leaned onto our uncle who hugged us.
Uncle Josh then started to sing...And I faintly recognize the song as I yawned lightly, smiling at the thought that he saw Disney's Tarzan.
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different
But deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Don't listen to them
Cause what do they know?
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
And destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more
Oooo, you'll be in my heart
You'll be here in my heart
No matter what they say
I'll be with you
You'll be here in my heart
I'll be there always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always
Uncle Josh rubbed our backs as he kissed our foreheads warmly. "Remember that I will always be there...looking after your mother and you two...", Uncle Josh said tenderly.
I hear Ashley reply quietly, "I love you, Uncle Josh.", and I snuggled into him, "I love you too, Uncle Josh.".
"I love you two...with all my heart.", Uncle Josh said quietly as he hugged us even closer to him. I blinked, struggling to keep my eyes open, but I fall asleep as I felt his hand ruffle my hair softly.
(Angela's P.O.V.)
I then slowly opened my eyes. I yawned, and I turned around to see Hopper. "Morning, my angel.", Hopper said with a tender smile.
I smiled warmly as I moved closer to kiss him on the nose, giggling lightly as I replied, "Morning, flyboy.", and Hopper raised a eyebrow with a smirk, "Is that the best you got for me, a nose kiss?".
I slyly grinned, "Oh, I don't know...Come and kiss me to find out.". Hopper then got on top of me, and kissed me on the lips. We started to make out as Hopper was kissing me with even more passion.
I was deeply engrossed into our makeout session when I was startled by something poking me on the stomach, and I gave out a gasp, stopping Hopper to ask me in concern, "Are you alright, my love?", before noticing his newfound condition with confusion and surprise, "It comes alive?".
I breathed lowly, "That would be your manhood waking up...I hear some people calls it morning wood...", and Hopper saw my expression of shock and fear, "Should I leave? How can I stop this?".
"No...it actually...feels good..", I said breathlessly with a blush on my face. And before Hopper could respond, "MOM! DAD!"
"The twins!", I said with surprise. I got out of bed, glancing at Hopper, and I blushed, "Good thing I showed you the bathroom yesterday. Take a cold shower. I don't want the twins to come in the room and see us.", before I walked to the door, and I looked back at Hopper before I reached out to open the door, "What were you going to say?".
"Umm...maybe later...don't want the twins to hear it.", Hopper blushed as he walked into the bathroom.
I nodded, and winked lightly, "Gotcha. Later then.", giving him a tender smile before I turned to open the door and close it quickly, sprinting over to the twins' bedroom, and I walked in, seeing them already dressed up, "You know you're both 14 years old. You're mature enough to not call for us every morning.".
Alex smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Mom, but we got big news to tell ya!". I blinked in surprise, "Big news? Okay, tell me.".
Ashley grinned brightly, "We officially met Uncle Josh last night in our dreams!", and I widened my eyes, gasping in shock, "What? Are you sure?".
"Yeah..he was there, and we were in a playground!", Alex said with a wide smile. "We played tag and other games with him!", Ashley said, giggling softly.
Their eyes told the truth, and there is happiness and excitement at bringing up the memories that happened in their dreams, and I smiled as I breathed quietly, "Thank you, Josh.", and I could feel a light breeze even if the windows in here are closed. I kissed my twins fondly on the cheeks, "I am so happy that he met you two. Now, go downstairs and check on everybody else. It will be a while until breakfast time.".
"Yes, mom!", The twins said as they got up and left their room. I couldn't stop smiling as Josh did keep his promise, and he visited his niece and nephew. I then walked back to I and Hopper's room, and I saw that Hopper was shirtless, only wearing pants as he was deciding which shirt he wanted to wear.
I closed the door behind me, and I walked up to him, wrapping my arms around him, "Blue looks so handsome on you, love. I sent the twins downstairs, and the door's closed. So, quick off the cuff, before you forget, you can say what you were to say before the twins interrupted...hmm?".
Hopper then puts on the blue shirt. "I wanted to ask...if when the time comes..when we make love to...each other...will it not give..you nightmares about that...day?", Hopper asked steadily as he turned around.
I looked at him directly, "No, because I know you and you know me. You aren't like them...With you, I feel safe, and I know you will focus on being gentle and steady...With you, it's the first time I'd be having pleasure, and yes, there's bound to be pain, but the good kind...not the bad kind from that day...I know you'll wait for that special time because you love me, yes?".
Hopper then cupped my cheeks in his hands. "Angela...I love you with all my heart...if I had never met you...I would still be a evil and cruel grasshopper...", Hopper said warmly.
I smiled softly, "I love you too, Hopper.", before grinning lightly, "I made a new rule for the twins to follow. They are not to bother us when we are alone, and until it's a extreme emergency, they are allowed to knock on the door and call out for one of us or both of us. I think being kids again as grasshoppers have degraded their individuality, and now being back to teenagers, they have to learn once more to be mature, independent just like they were before we came to your old world.".
"Well, those kids learn fast.", Hopper said with a chuckle. "Let's go downstairs...Dad and Chris said they would be going out to buy stuff for breakfast before we move all our stuff to the mansion.", I said as I held Hopper's hand.
Before we started to walk to the door, Hopper glanced at me, "You were..er, right about the cold shower...I understand that there's certain things I can't say or see around the twins, but is there any chance I'd talk with Chris...er, about the manhood stuff I need to learn? I want to make certain if the special time comes, I don't want to scare you and stuff still even if you have convinced me that you feel safe with me. And no, I don't wanna go to your dad...THAT would be awkward and embarrassing...".
