Here's the treat. IAN'S POINT OF VIEW. Disappointed? Well thats not the only treat in this Chapter. :D

Chapter 18: Secretly

Ian's POV

"Well it's very nice to meet you all." Could Spinner said still looking a bit off put.

The guy who was sitting in front of the TV came over to greet us. "Hi, I'm Brandon; Wanda's biological father."

I guess it's because I grew up before the invasion but I got really nervous all the sudden. How much did he know? Did he know who I was? Did he know what Wanda and I had been doing? Oh God. Fathers were always scary before but now it's even worse, because if he doesn't like me then he could turn everyone in.

"Daddy this is Rebecca." Wanda said grabbing Mel's hand. "Landon and I met her and her partner Sky at the park. And this is…."

"Cameron." He interrupted her, "Yes I heard." He looked straight at me.

I could feel him sizing me up and determining wither I was a threat or not. I decided to not flinch or to show any sign that I was anything more that a friend to Wanda. Of course I wouldn't be able to keep that under wraps for long.

He finally sighed and reached out his hand to me, "It's nice to meet you Cameron."

I shook the hand he offered, "Nice to meet you too sir."

"Well now it's not just Brandon, Landon and I so your boys can help move some furniture so we can watch the best fashion show since the stopped using the catwalk."

Jared and I nodded. Cloud Spinner directed which furniture was to be moved and which should stay put.

It was kind of interesting. In the little interaction I saw Cloud Spinner and Brandon didn't seem like the other married souls I'd seen. The ones that were so affectionate and like a team. It was like Brandon just did whatever Cloud Spinner told him to do. And more than that, when it came to Wanda, Brandon was very forceful like all the sudden he had strong opinion.

Like when she tried to carry a chair. I was about to move it for her but Brandon got there before me. "Baby, that's not gonna happen. Why don't you take Cameron to your room."

I froze and Wanda did too. "What?" She asked.

"You can pack the clothes you want to wear and Cameron can carry the boxes." We relaxed.

If the invasion hadn't happened a father of a girl I was with never would have said I could go with her to her room. It was kind of exciting.

"Ok." Wanda said motioning for me to fallow her, "It's this way Cameron."

I nodded and fallowed her. We went up the stairs and down a long hallway. I was temperedly distracted by a room that had a sign saying it was Wanda's room but it had Carmen crossed out and said Pet. I was very curious. But she kept walking and I fallowed.

We walked into her room where her mom had a big clear tub open and she was putting shoes in the bottom of it.

"Hey mom. I'm here to help." Wanda said, "And Cameron's here to help me help you."

Cloud Spinner nodded and put a pair of sparkly 3 inch heels in the box, "Well then you can start getting the clothes from your closet to put in here." She tapped the bucket. "I'm gonna go see how moving the furniture is going."

Wanda nodded and walked towards what looked like her walk in closet. She turned towards me as Cloud Spinner, unimaginably, shut the bedroom door.

We rushed into each other's arms at the same time. I leaned down to crush my lips to hers. This was right. This house was the first place that we could be in the same room but I couldn't touch her. It was almost madness.

Wanda kissed back with gusto. I lifted her off the floor and she instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist. I had to try to remember that her biological parents were downstairs and that that boy Landon could walk up here and interrupt us.

She finally pulled back, "I missed you."

I put my nose and forehead to hers, "I missed you more." I paused then continued, "It's terrible that you're so close but I can't touch you in front of them."

"I know what you mean." Wanda said unwrapping her legs from my waist.

I lowered her to the ground and we entered her closet. She started grabbing things but I was lost. What the hell was I suppose to do? "What do I do?"

She turned and smiled at me grabbing a low cut shirt, "Grab anything that you want to see me in." she said winking at me.

I looked around; there was so much stuff in here. Of course it would be vastly inappropriate if I said that I wanted to see her naked again so I walked to the back where there were some garment bags and I opened one. It had a long formal pink dress. I had to see her in this. I took it off the rack and slung it over my arm then I looked back at the rack. I found some more dresses and after taking two off the rack I saw something that caught my eye.

It was a pitch black garment bag. I've gotta see what was in there. I opened it and saw a pair of white wings. I smiled, it reminded me of that lingerie store we had before the invasion. Victoria Secret. The models use to wear something like that on the runway. I smiled and took the hanger holding the bag off the hook it was on. There was a note attached to the bag, my curiosity intensified. I read it.

My dearest daughter,

I know that you'll probably have sex someday and you're not going to want to tell us about it.

I hope you will wait till the two of you are married, like your father and I.

But since I was your age once I know how it feels.

So since I can't stop you I hope you will let me prepare you.

In the medium box is a box with condoms inside.

In the big box is some lingerie I bought for you.

If you're gonna do it, do it well; like you do everything.

Now I know that your only turning 12 but I lost my virginity at 14.

So I guess it's never too early.

I hope we'll be together soon.

All my love eternal yours,

Your Mother.

My jaw dropped open. This was the weirdest thing I'd read. My mother just said "Don't have sex in the car and if you do have sex, don't get her pregnant."

I raised my eyebrows, Wonder where the lingerie is.

"What's that?" Wanda asked walking over.

"I just found it and read the note." I said showing her. Wonder what kind of lingerie her mom gave her. Probably shouldn't be thinking that.

She looked at it and read the note. "Huh." She said turning pink "Wonder why Cloud Spinner didn't sign her name."

"Not the question I was thinking." I said winking at her.

She turned even pinker and pocketed the note, "Put it back and keep looking through the clothes."

I smiled maliciously. I've gotta find that lingerie. Assuming she still has it.

I looked around and spotted an ottoman at the back by the shoe rack. I walked over and opened it. It had white shopping bags in it. Strange. I took them out.

"Yourica!" I said pulling out a bejeweled bra.

She turned and her mouth dropped open. "Where was it?"

"In the ottoman." I said gesturing, "And there's more." I turned back to the box, "Wonder if there's some bottoms to this."

"Ian stop looking." She said walking over and trying to pull me away. She didn't even budge me. I picked up a while bra with see though fabric hanging down. I think it's called a bralette "Now this has to go with the wings."

"Stop." She said blushing a darker shade of pink than I'd ever seen on her and moving in between me and the garments. "Look I'll wear dresses, I'll wear skirts I'll even wear bikini's but I will not wear that."

Someone cleared the throat and Wanda grabbed the bra from my hands and hid it behind her back as I turned to see her dad.

Oh god. I'm gonna die.

"Hi daddy. Whatcha doin'?" Wanda asked smiling.

"Cloud Spinner wanted me to come get you too. She says it's time for the show to start." He said not taking his eyes off his daughter.

I took a big gulp and grabbed the dresses I picked out and grabbed the clothes she picked out while Wanda stuffed the bags and the lid on the ottoman. I walked past him and put the stuff in what was left of the box and carried the box downstairs.

I took it into the kitchen and a few minutes Wanda came in pursing her lips together like she was trying not to laugh. Mel fallowed her in, "Did you dad catch you two making out or something?"

I shook my head and Wanda bit her lip. "Worse?"

I shrugged, "Tell you later." I muttered before walking out.

I walked back into the front room and sat on the edge of the couch next to Jared. I wasn't sure how I felt about the plan anymore. The plan was to come back tomorrow during breakfast and take Wanda. Now we had to bring Landon so he could meet Jeb. And now I'm starting to worry about Wanda, she seems to comfortable here. She'd so cozy with Cloud Spinner and Brandon calling them mom and dad. She had a hard time getting over Cloud Spinner after she came back but she had this new connection with her bio dad. She called him "daddy", from my past experiences, before the invasion, when a girl called her dad "daddy" it meant she was either hiding something from him or she was close with him.

I sighed as Mel came back in and sat next to Jared, "It's about to start." She whispered.

I took a couple of deep breaths and relaxed into a rather comfortable couch. It's be nice to live in this world. I could imagine a world without the invasion but with Wanda.

I'd come over and sneak a kiss before I sat on the couch and bonded with her dad over terrible ref calls and terrible plays and maybe some home runs in football. Then her mom would ask if I would stay for dinner and I'd graciously agree. Then after dinner Wanda and I would "Do some homework." Or something. And then when I had to leave I'd wait to sneak back into her room and spend the night like I had last night. And I'd take her on dates; I'd have a job where I could earn money to buy her stuff.

But that world was gone. It'd never happen because the world was ruled by souls that didn't trust us and would never let us keep ourselves. I'd be taken over by a soul or just deposed of and I'd never be able to be with Wanda.

"Alright" Cloud Spinner said walking out of the kitchen, "She's ready. Let the show begin." She smiled and took her solitary chair next to Brandon.

From the kitchen I heard a click, click, clicking sound. I smiled. Heals.

I watched as she entered the hall wobbling a bit on the heals under a knee length red dress that tapered in the back so that it looked like those short dresses that were long in the back.

It suited her and it took all my strength to not stare to long at how low cut it was. The only problem was that Landon was looking too. I tried not to watch him stare instead I looked at her. She was mine.

She twirled and strikes poses and as everyone clapped she looked at me for my approval and I smiled at her trying to tell her with my eyes that she was even more beautiful than usual. She must have got the message because she smiled broadly at me and strutted back into the kitchen wiggling her butt a little more than necessary. If I had to take a guess I'd say she loves torturing me.

It was a couple minutes before she came back out. This time she was in a more comfortable outfit. This one she defiantly picked out herself. She was in a gray hoodie that I'd seen her sneak into the pile she got at the store the other day. She was also wearing a jean skirt over top of some black leggings. And to top it all off a pair of comfortable looking tennis shoes. I could tell she loved it by the way she strutted around taking more poses and smiling widely.

Brandon whistled at her and Landon stood up clapping. I was almost afraid to do anything, Landon knew I was human, he made that perfectly clear in the park. And Brandon was most likely looking for any indication that I was a threat to his daughter. But I guess if their showing appreciation for her I might as well.

I stood like Landon, I was taller, and started to blow kisses and pretended to swoon falling back onto the couch. Mel and Cloud Spinner were laughing at us boys and Jared was clapping smiling at Wanda. Landon didn't like my display but Brandon didn't seem to mind. After I swooned he pretended too as well.

Wanda was really getting into it returning my kisses and throwing a few at no one in particular.

I gazed at her wishing I could walk up to her and give her a real kiss but then when I was about to get up I started to hear a clicking. I turned and realized that it was Cloud Spinner. She was kneeling and crouching in front of Wanda taking pictures like a mad woman and telling Wanda to make a couple of poses for her.

After a minute Wanda walked back into the kitchen and Cloud Spinner sat back down.

"What do you do with the pictures of her?" Mel asked.

"Oh." Cloud Spinner said getting all excited, "Before I was inserted my host loved modeling but she couldn't do it because the humans were so particular about their "skinny girls with big breasts" but now that we have the modeling industry anyone can model. But I still can't because I'm older but I edit out the backgrounds of the pictures and I keep her just the way she is. Then I send them to a modeling agency in LA and they use them for advertisements."

I was shocked. Obviously some things had changed and others hadn't. Mothers still pushed their girls into fulfilling the dream they never got. Anger welled up and I was about to say something when….

"What?" It was Brandon and he was mad, "Why didn't you tell me this?"

"Because," She said rolling her eyes, "Before she was abducted I was the one raising her not her father and before she was taken by humans you didn't really care about her."

I saw movement; it was Wanda in a stunning baby blue sunflower dress and white platform sandals.

"Ahhhh you look stunning." Cloud Spinner said beaming.

Wanda didn't smile back, "What did you say?"

"You're stunning." She repeated.

"No. Before that. You raised me instead of my father?"

Cloud Spinner nodded, "Well you remember. He was always working or in the garage and he only came out for meals and for bed. It was usually just us girls."

Her face still didn't change from a mask of blank confusion, "I want to get something out in the open." She bit her lip then said, "Cloud Spinner. Is your host my biological mother?"

Cloud Spinner cocked her head to the side, "Why would you ask something like that?"

"No."

We all turned out heads.

"No baby." Brandon said with a apologetic look on his face and his hands out stretched, "She's not your biological mother."

Oh Snap! TWIST. I decided I wanted to make a change. It almost felt like it was ending, and I dont want it to end... Not just yet. Next chapter we get to see who Wanda will choose and what she does with this new found information. Let me know your thoughts on the change. ;) (That basically means send me reviews. I love seeing them even if it means you hate it.)
