"You do love me though, right?" Sabrina asked her aunts.

"Of course we do, Sabrina," Zelda replied. "You're like a daughter to me and your Aunt Hilda."

"Why else would your parents let us raise you?" Hilda smiled.

"Because Sophia lives in Rome and you guys don't like to talk about Vesta?" Drell smirked.

"...Sure, put it like that..." Hilda muttered as she also began filling her plate. "Honestly, I think I'd be better off starting a family of my own..."

"You should before your biological clock gets away from you like it did to me..." Zelda frowned softly. "About 350 years ago."

"Zelda, how old are you?" Atticus asked.

"Would you believe I'm actually 900?" Zelda replied.

"Uh... No." Mo said with wide eyes from that.

"Speaking as someone who lives more in the Mortal Realm, that took me by surprise," replied Lionel. "At best, you look like around late 20's-early 30's."

"Oh, I wish!" Zelda replied. "I feel like I'm not as attractive as I once was... Unlike Vesta."

"I think you look gorgeous, Zelda." Cherry said.

"Oh... Thank you, Cherry," Zelda gave a small smile. "That's very sweet of you to say."

"No problem," Cherry replied.

"Well... Even if you can't have children of your own, you can adopt." replied Lionel as everyone finished eating.

"And besides, Hil; I guess it would be neat having a kid around." replied Drell.

"Oh... You'd let that happen?" Hilda cooed to him.

"I'm up for it if you are," Drell smirked as she leaned up against him. "Maybe we could try after dessert."

"I don't wanna hear this!" Cherry cried out to them.

"No one's asking you to listen." Hilda tutted to her.

"Then STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AT THE DINNER TABLE!" Cherry groaned.

Drell and Hilda just chuckled to each other like school kids.

Cherry rolled her eyes from that. "Oy."

"Okay, if there isn't anything else... I'd like to share something with the family..." Thor said as he tried to sound mature.

Everyone sat down and turned to face Thor.

"Ahem..." Thor cleared his throat. "Um... What is love anyway?"

"Thornton?" Moxie called.

"Mom... Dad... Bebe... Everybody else..." Thor sighed shakily before he spoke strongly again. "I've found love... It's made my stomach empty and my heart full."

"Whoa," said Hilda. "That sounded very profound."

Thor looked to Atticus.

"Very deep and very serious." Atticus defined for him.

"Oh... Well, thank you!" Thor beamed from that.

"Well, that's great, son!" Zolten laughed as he slapped Thor's back a bit. "Who's the lucky girl?"

An awkward silence drifted over the group.

"Well... Actually... It's a girl... And a boy..." Thor replied.

"Oh, of course it's a girl!" Zolten beamed. "Why wouldn't you-... Uh... What?" he then asked. "What did you say?"

"I'm in a pierogi relationship!" Thor replied.

"I believe you mean polygamy." Zelda corrected.

"Uh, yeah, that." Thor said from that.

"...You love a boy...?" Zolten asked as that seemed to have a negative tone.

"Oh, man... I knew this was gonna go badly." Lionel gulped as he ducked, putting on an army helmet.

"Son...?" Zolten asked Thor. "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, Dad," Thor stated as strong as he could. "I love Cherry and Lionel." he then wrapped arms around both before kissing their cheeks.

"...Well... I guess that explains why he likes watching My Little Pony with his sister..." Drell spoke up.

"Among other things..." replied Hilda.

Lionel glanced around. "...Oh, jeez..." he sighed.

"Oh... This is a surprise..." Moxie said. "Thornton, are you sure-"

"Yes, I'm sure," Thor replied. "I really feel good around these two and they feel good around me."

"Hmm..." Zolten hummed firmly from that.

"Zolten, please..." Moxie told her husband.

"I'm sorry if this upsets you," replied Lionel. "Especially after you two were so willing to invite us to dinner."

"Well, I'm not really upset, I'm just a bit more... Surprised..." Moxie told him softly.

"Hmm..." Zolten hummed sharply.

"Zol, I don't wanna tell you how to raise your children, but if they're happy, you should be happy too." Drell told his brother-in-law as he looked him firmly in the eyes through his glasses.

Zolten looked on quietly in response as if lost in thought.

"I... Should probably go." said Lionel.

"Oh, please... Please don't go..." Thor pleaded before glaring at his father. "It's people like you that disgust me, Dad! I don't wanna hate you!"

Zolten looked shocked at that, as Thor went after Lionel, who was sitting on the porch outside.

"Heeey, buddy..." Thor said as he came out to see Lionel. "I'm sure Dad'll warm up to you soon... He's probably just having a rough day. Mom seems to be okay with it so far... So does Uncle Drell... I didn't think that he would approve of all people."

Lionel looked up at him. "Hey... At least he approved," he said. "You, uh... Maybe wanna catch a movie sometime?"

"I think we could do that," Thor smiled. "Cherry too or just you an' me?"

"She can come too," replied Lionel. "After all, it'd be at her new place. She lives with Ms. Kyle now."

"Oh, that's official now?" Thor smiled. "No doubt that she'll be happy from that, huh?"

"Oh, for sure!" Lionel grinned. "Also, I picked the movie. Transformers 1986!"

"All right then!" Thor beamed from that.

"Thornton?" A tiny voice spoke up.

"Huh? Oh, hey," Thor said as he saw his little sister. "What're you doing here?"

"I wanted to give you somethin' that I just made..." Phoebe said bashfully with her hands behind her back.

"Hmm... What is it, kid?" Thor asked.

Phoebe looked at them before taking out a crayon drawing of Thor, Lionel, and Cherry together, holding hands with hearts all around them. "Here." she then said with a cute smile.

"D'awww...!" Lionel gushed. "Thank you, Phoebe! I'll treasure this forever!"

"You're welcome." Phoebe smiled.

Thor ruffled up his sister's hair a bit.

"Hey, quit it!" Phoebe cried out with a giggle.

"Aw... Just for that, you get to be flower girl at our someday wedding." Lionel beamed.

"I do?" Phoebe beamed back happily from that.

"Yep!" Lionel nodded.

"Oh, yay!" Phoebe beamed.

"Congrats, Doodlebug," Thor chuckled. "So, uh, do you have any questions."

"Well, I'm a little curious," Phoebe replied. "I didn't know two boys could love each other like one boy and one girl."

"Yeah," replied Lionel. "It's actually very common."

"I never saw it before..." Cherry said. "Plus you both have a girlfriend?"

"You'll understand a little more when you're older," Thor told her. "I just hope you don't think any less of your big brother."

"I still think you're my big brother," Phoebe smiled. "No matter what you like."

Thor grinned as he hugged his little sister.

"Awwww..." Lionel gushed.

Cherry stared at the ground as she came to see them.

"Hi, Cherry." Phoebe smiled.

"Hey," Cherry said softly. "I thought I'd just see how you guys were doing."

"Well... We're doing good," replied Lionel. "You up for a movie day this Saturday?"

"Yeah, I think that's a pretty good idea," Cherry said. "As long as I get my homework done in time. Aunt Selina highly suggests that I do my homework right after school so I don't have to worry about it later."

"Sounds fair." Lionel replied.

"Well, I'm glad I have you, even if Dad might not like it." Thor said before pulling her into a hug.

"Guh!" Cherry gasped from the tight hug.

"Mm-mm! You are so snuggly, cuddly, buggly!" Thor beamed as he hugged her like a doll.

Cherry's legs flailed a bit as she looked trapped from the hug.

"Aww... Isn't that adorable?" Drell smirked as he came to see them.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Cherry muffled with deadpan.

"Maybe another day," replied Drell. "Skippy didn't bring his camera. Besides, you all are pretty cute together."

"Thank you for your blessing," Cherry muffled. "...Thor, if you wanna keep up this relationship, you better let me go now. I'm starting to see a dark tunnel with a bright light."

"You're the dark tunnel to MY bright light, Cherry..." Thor smiled as he held her longer before finally letting go.

Cherry plopped on the floor from that before breathing in deeply before breathing out slowly.

"And you guys are the sunshines on my cloudy days!" Lionel added as he kissed them both.

"I'm happy if you guys are," Drell told them. "Hey, I might seem dark and cold at times, but I have a heart."

"Oh, I knew that," Cherry said to him. "I just always assumed it was in a jar on your nightstand."

"I wonder about you sometimes," Drell rolled his eyes. "Though, I guess I can't be angry with you if my special little guy loves you."

Thor beamed as he and Lionel each put an arm around Cherry's shoulders, and they stared up at the night sky. Drell smiled to them as he came back inside as it seemed that the three would have a bright future together for the rest of their time together in a relationship. And they would all have more fun adventures together, but that would be another story. Many more, to be exact.

The End
