Bob and I were very busy for the next few months between planning our marriage, working, and our superhero business. We decided to have our marriage in only three months to get it over with.

I was still working at my job under Lucious. He was dating another woman, so thankfully we stayed with our partners instead of straying. I was hoping his relationship would prosper for both our sakes. We still glanced at each other in a yearning way from time to time, but we knew better.

The day of our marriage was a very busy day. For both Bob and I had so much super hero business to attend to. It was ridiculous how much crime, disasters, and other random people were in need of our assistance that day. It was bad luck for us all. Even Frozone had a lot to work with that night.

I was a bit concerned when I got to the church a few minutes late and Bob wasn't there as well. I had gotten into my bridal gown and had been waiting for about an hour for Bob to arrive in my changing room. I was beginning to panic that he wouldn't show up.

Lucious came into the room dressed in his tuxedo and he just stared at me in my white gown.

"You look beautiful," Lucious commented me. "You'll make a lovely bride on that alter."

"Lucious! You're here!" I rushed up to hug him. "I'm glad you decided to come."

"Well, I'm close with both of you," Lucious said as he held me tenderly. "I wouldn't miss this day for the world."

"So," I asked. "Did you bring your date?"

"No," Lucious told me. "We broke up yesterday and I wasn't able to find anyone else to come with me."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's alright. I'm just glad to be here."

"So, did you see Bob come in?"

"No, I saw him earlier, but it looked like he had to save some jumper."

"Oh, okay…"

"Hey," he whispered to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "He'll make it in time."

"I hope so. If he doesn't show, than I think he prefers his duties over me."

"How could any guy take anything else as priority over you?"

"You know Bob."

Lucious sighs and places his hand on my cheek. "May I kiss the bride?"

I smiled. "Of course."

I leaned in to give Lucious a peck on the mouth. Lucious surprised me with an open mouth kiss. I gave into his kiss and we began to make out on the nearby couch. I began to take off his jacket while he began to unzip my dress when Lucious suddenly stopped and sat up while still on top of me.

"What's wrong?" I asked him curiously.

"You are a beautiful bride," he complimented me. "But you're not my bride."

I sighed and knew he was right. "I guess we still have to get over each other. And I might just be nervous that I will never be able to have another relationship."

"Well," Lucious began to tell me. "If Bob doesn't arrive here in the next half hour, I'm going to propose to you and marry you right here and now."

"Lucious! You can't do that! You should be moving on!"

Lucious leaned in and kissed me again.

"I want to do it because I love you. If Bob can not show up and make you happy for the rest of your life, than I want to be the one to make you happy."

"Lucious…"

"If the time comes, will you say yes?"

I began to ponder it over, but I couldn't find an answer for him.

"I will let you think about it," he told me as he kissed my forehead and walked out of the room.

I sat on the coach pondering over things, but then I realized I should be up at the alter waiting for my future husband to arrive, whoever it would be…

I was at the alter, waiting for Bob to arrive. I kept looking up at the clock hoping he would arrive soon. Twenty-five minutes went by since Lucious made his proposal to me. I was nervous that Lucious would come in and make a huge scene by asking to marry me in front of all of my superhero friends who came to the wedding. True, I did wonder how it would be if Lucious decided to marry me instead of Bob and part of me still longed for him, but I knew Bob would be devastated if I betrayed him and I didn't want to lose him. I would be angry if Bob never showed up while Lucious was willing to marry me instead, so in the end I think I would have said yes to Lucious anyways.

After thinking about these things, I looked at the clock again as the minutes wore on. Four minutes left, three minutes left, two minutes left, one minute left…

I began to expect Lucious to come barging in through that door at any second, and I began to wonder where Bob was. I was wondering what could possible take him this long, and if he truly loved me.

Just then the doors behind me opened. I turned to see if Lucious arrived and instead I saw Bob strolling in just in time. I sighed with relief, but I also felt very angry at him for keeping me there angry.

I glanced back to see Lucious strolling in after him. Lucious sighed and kept a smile on his face. I was relieved that he was accepting of this.

After the wedding, I was dancing with Bob on the dance floor. We were enjoying ourselves profusely and we kept on talking about our honeymoon, which we were planning on going to Greace.

"I look forward to the sunny beach, the warm sky, and the tropical atmosphere!" Bob commented.

"My that sounds relaxing," I agreed with him. "And beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you."

"Oh Bob…"

I kissed him right then and there as we danced. A new song began to play, but we didn't notice.

"May I dance with the beautiful bride for a moment?" Lucious came in and asked.

"Sure thing," Bob told him and stepped aside. Lucious held me close and we began to dance.

"Thank you for not making a big scene," I whispered to him.

"I didn't want to ruin anything," he whispered back. "But my offer to become my wife instead will always be open."

"Lucious! I just got married."

"I know," he told me as he kissed my cheek. "But if anything happens, you know where to find me."

"What makes you think something will happen?"

"We both know how you two were when you two were dating. If you want to be with me again, I will gladly take you into my embrace."

I began to wonder about that. Would something occur for Bob and me? Were we wrong to get married? Should I have gotten married to Lucious instead?

The song ended and Lucious stepped back.

"I will see you back at work in a week," he told me as he left.

I looked at him for a moment more until Bob came back and we sat down.

It was a magical night in Greece. Right after the wedding, we flew out of the country and immediately spent the night in a hotel. It was a little odd at first when we made love, but after a few times we got the hang of it and had a blissful sexual experience.

"Oh my!" I proclaimed as we lay down next to each other naked under the sheets after our vigorous activity. We were drenched in sweat and gasping for air. "That was better than I thought it would be."

"I can't believe it either," Bob agreed. "We actually made love."

"Well, this is only the first time," I explained as I climbed into his embrace. "We have the rest of our lives to have sex."

"I look forward to the rest of our lives."

We smiled at each other, leaned in to give each other a kiss, and then we fell asleep. I was happily laying on top of him with my head on his chest. It appeared that our marriage was going to be perfect. I couldn't have guessed as to what events would come to pass.

The next few months were very strenuous for the two of us as well as for all of the super heroes in the world. Thanks to Bob's actions, all of the superheroes have been forced into retirement and live normal lives. Many supers held a grudge against Bob for a while, but it passed. Even I held a grudge against him.

I was devastated when I couldn't be Elastigirl anymore. I kept telling Bob it wasn't his fault that the supers had to retire, but deep down I actually resented Bob for his actions though he was only doing his duty. It led to ridiculous arguments over mundane things. We were able to find some times to have fun still, but for a while I began to doubt our marriage.

One Monday Bob returned to the apartment from work and I was waiting for him at the kitchen table. He appeared too tired to care about anything, but I was angry at him.

"You forgot your chores this weekend," I reminded him.

"I've been very busy."

"So have I, but I have made an effort to keep this place clean."

"I'll get to it after I take a nap."

"No!" I shouted at him. "You always forget to do what I tell you after you take naps! Do it now before you go to sleep!"

"Helen, I'm exhausted from work! I need some sleep before I collapse!"

"You're super strong! How tiresome of work could you possibly have?"

"I don't want to do this right now," he told me as he walked to the bedroom and locked the door behind him.

"Bob!" I shouted at him as I knocked on the door. "Bob! Get the hell out of there! …Fine! I'll leave you to your peace and quiet!"

I slammed the door behind me as I left the apartment. I didn't feel like spending the night with my own husband when he was behaving like an ass. I had another option.

I arrived to his apartment not much later that evening. Lucious came and opened the door and appeared surprised.

"Helen, you…"

I held his head firm and kissed him passionately. He didn't resist for a moment and dragged me into his place. I felt an intense attraction to him again. We moved towards the coach where we continued to make out. I began to remove Lucious's shirt when he suddenly stopped me and broke away from our kiss.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You're still married to Bob," he explained. "I can't go too far with you and ruin your marriage to him. He would never forgive me."

"He hasn't been there for me recently," I told him. "He's been very difficult lately. I just want to be loved."

"I do love you, but still…"

"Can we at least spend some time together? Maybe you'll warm up to the idea of becoming physical again after we share a few dates."

"Alright," Lucious agreed. "But if this dysfunctional marriage with Bob continues, you should divorce him so that we can be together."

"Alright," I accepted his terms. I kissed him again and just remained there on the couch cuddling with him for the night.

Bob and I obviously remained together. We began to go to a marriage councilor to help us fix things. We began to realize that we still needed time to adjust to the transitions that we were going through. We worked very hard on keeping our marriage together, though we still had our arguments from time to time.

Unfortunately, I couldn't control my urge to secretly go out with Lucious. I needed something to fulfill my life that our marriage wasn't. Perhaps it was because of the fact that I lost my super hero privileges and couldn't go on exciting missions anymore. Either way, I began to feel guilty whenever I went to see Lucious. Months went by and I was still seeing him. Bob and I managed to find some time and sleep together, but Lucious and I appeared to be getting very serious again. I was about to have an affair with him.

I was at work when Lucious called me into his office. I locked the door as he shut the blinds. Then we ran to each other and began to make out.

"I can't help myself with you," I exclaimed. "You're too irresistible."

"I've wanted you for the longest time," he told me as he began to strip me of my clothes. "I can't wait any longer, I want to make love to you right now!"

"Oh Lucious…"

I began removing his clothes too as we made out. He cleared off his desk with his arm and I laid down on top of the desk. He got on top of me and we continued to make out profusely. Lucious began to remove my bra and underwear as I began to remove his boxers. Suddenly Lucious's phone rang.

"Hello?" Lucious answered. I tried to wait patiently underneath him as I layed on his desk completely nude while he was on top of me with his boxers slid down just below his buttocks, but he hadn't penetrated me. "Oh hi Bob!"

I panicked when I heard that. Lucious got off of me and pulled his underwear back up as I got up and began to get redressed.

"Sure I'll get her," Lucious told him on the phone. He handed me the phone. "It's for you…"

"Hello?" I asked after I took the phone to my ear. I wondered why he would call me randomly while I was at work. I glanced down and realized I was still completely topless as Lucious stared at my bare chest. I turned around and covered my breasts with my open arm.

"Hi Helen," Bob greeted me. "Sorry for bothering you at work, but I just wanted to apologize."

"That's okay Bob," I told him. "You didn't mean what you said last night."

"It's not just that," he explained. "I'm sorry for everything I have or haven't done in the past few months. Truly, I have not been the greatest husband, and you truly do deserve better. If you want to divorce me, I won't try to stop you."

That came to a shock for me. I couldn't believe he was making such a sacrifice for my happiness. I turned to glance at Lucious, then turned away to talk on the phone again.

"I'm sorry if I hadn't made you feel like you deserve me Bob. I can't possibly see myself without you. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Listen Bob, I need to go back to work, but I'll see you again tonight. Alright?"

"Yeah, I'll see you tonight."

I hung up the phone and put my shirt back on. I turned to Lucious, who was looking down and gloomy. I felt bad that he had to watch that display of affection.

"I'm sorry Lucious…"

"It's fine. He's your husband. This entire ordeal was wrong from the beginning."

"I'll see you later Lucious. Maybe we will do this some other time."

"I hope so."

We gave each other a light smile and pecked each other on the lips before I went back to work. I realized later that I forgot to put on my bra and my panties. I asked Lucious if I could have them back, but he denied ever finding them. I had a suspicion that he kept them as a remembrance of me, so I let him.

A few weeks went by. I spent much more time with Bob, and I didn't nearly spend any time with Lucious anymore. My attraction to him was finally fading, but I kept having this distinct feeling that I would never give up on him.

I began to feel sick and my period was late. I felt all sorts of symptoms that confused me. When I realized what those symptoms meant I rushed out to get tested. Bob showed up from work later that day, and I told Bob some startling news. We celebrated that night and made arrangements as soon as possible.

The next day I went straight to work. I didn't stop at my desk, I just continued to Lucious's office. He greeted me with a warm smile.

"Hello Helen. What's new with you?"

"I'm sorry Lucious, but I'm leaving this company."

He was instantly distraught. "What…? Why…?"

"There's been a change in plans. I'm going to have to be dedicated to my home life."

"Helen, if you don't want to have an affair with me that's fine, but do you seriously have to stop working here?"

"It's not that," I explained to him. "Bob and I… are having a baby."

Lucious was truly surprised at this announcement. I could see in his eyes that he was slowly beginning to understand.

"Alright Helen. I guess this is goodbye."

"Lucious," I stepped forward. "We can still be friends, but I'm having a child now. I have to be a good influence and not give into temptation."

"I understand," he told me. "I have started to move onto another woman. I guess we truly were not meant to be."

I stared sadly at him, and then gave him a hug. "Goodbye Lucious."

With that, I left his office, packed all of the stuff on my desk, and left that office building never to return. I glanced back to see Lucious staring down at me from the window. He turned and slowly walked away. His total distress really touched me. He loved me and I loved him, but there was nothing left for us. I left that job thinking I would be able to live out the rest of my life peacefully with my family.

Over fifteen years went by, and I was able to be faithful to my family. Bob and I had Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Lucious had been married to his own wife for quite some time as well. I thought my life was perfect when I was able to be a superhero again with my family. Nothing in this world is what we expect.

I stood completely naked by the window looking out into the world. I was contemplating about my life. I wondered about certain choices I've made in my life and what might have happened if I picked differently. I wondered about missed opportunities and what made me happy.

After a long while of standing at the open window, allowing the cool night breeze to dry the sweat on my bare skin, I returned to the bed I came from earlier. I was ready to have more sexual pleasure with the man under the covers.

"I hope I didn't make you wait too long," I provocatively said to the dark skinned man next to me. "You've just taken a lot out of me."

"Not at all," Lucious assured me as he laid there completely nude under the covers with me. "The longer you wait, the more I desire you. Now come here and give me some sugar."

I smiled and climbed on top of him. I kissed him as I told him. "I love you…"

"I love you too…"

We continued to have our secret affair that we have had for the past few weeks. At some point in time, the desires you can never seem to get rid of can get the better of you, no matter how much of a hero you are…
