Chapter 3: My Wife And Kids
In the mean time, Stork was being whirled round in what appeared to be a purple tornado, before...THUD. Face first onto the floor.
Moaning, he picked himself up and observed his surroundings whilst rubbing his nose.
"Storky poo!"
Looking round, he saw a female merb running towards him, followed by some merblets.
"Dad, dad."
"WHA? You must have me confused" slurred Stork, still dazed from the fall"
"Stork, where have you been?" beamed the female, coming to a halt in front of him and giving him a cuddle.
She had a golden ring on her finger, and looked roughly the same age as him.
"DAD" screamed the children, knocking poor Stork to the floor and smothering him.
"Who are you?" he asked, pulling the squirming kids off him.
"Stork, don't be silly, we're your family, you know, Emily-Jane, we've been married for two years and we have 3 children, Ash, Kim and Dawn, ring any bells?" she giggled and pulled Stork to his feet.
Bewildered, he looked her up and down, from her wavy jet black hair, to her perfect bust, down to her curvy hips and slim waist. She was beautiful. "C'mon, lets go home" she pulled him off, without giving him a chance to speak.
Once again, new surroundings adjusted in his blurred gaze as Stork tried to take it all in. A wife, 3 children to whom he had never spoken, and what made it worse, he didn't know where the hell he was, he never even considered going outside, never mind having a family.
"Look, I know you might think im your husband and father to your children, but really, I have to get back to the condor, my friends and Finn need me to fly it and-" He began.
"But sweetheart, who's Finn? What happened to you, you're acting like you really dont remember us, you went out for a walk and then we find you half a mile from the house and you haven't got a clue who we are?"
"Daddy, I missed yooooooh" Smiled Kim, looking up at Stork admiringly. Looking back, first at Kim, then at the other two, he quickly realized that these merbs really thought he was thier beloved Storky, and that Kim was the youngest and Ash was the oldest. Impossible, he thought to himself.
"Ummm, Emily-Jane, was it? Yeah, can I talk to you in private?" he said through gritted teeth.
"Sure" she sighed, taking him through to what looked like a bedroom which aquired a double bed, a neat pile of clothes, including a suit, a chest of drawers, and what appeared to be handcuffs.
Gazing round, he blurted "THIS ISN'T ME, I DONT LIKE HANDCUFFS AND I WOULD RATHER JUMP INTO THE WASTELANDS THAN WEAR A SUIT AND-"
"Will you keep your voice down Stork I don't want the children to hear you talk about our sex life and whats more is thats your favourite suit! Also, whats a wastelands?" she looked puzzled.
"All Im trying to say is that I have to go home, this place isn't mine and I don't want you and the kids to-"
That felt so right. Just saying those words...you and the kids...like he'd said them before.
"I think I need to sleep now...my head hurts" complained Stork.
"OK" Emily-Jane started towards the bed but Stork stopped her and said "alone"
"Oh, ok...I understand" tears streaming down her cheeks she slowly walked to the door and towards the spare room...
