(Anne's Pov)

I woke up to the sound of Alex's breathing. I move my head off his chest and looked around my room a bit before I look to see Marcy cuddled up to Alex's side and he moved a bit in his sleep and pulled her closer. I smile a bit at this and I slowly get out of the bed and put some clothes on. I head down the stairs and see my mom in the kitchen and she holds out a coffee mug and I take it.

"Thanks." I say and take a sip of the caffeinated drink.

"Thought you might need is after the long day you had yesterday." She says and I look to her and she winks and I turn red.

"Please don't say anything to them." I say.

"I won't… though I should make your room soundproof." She jokes and I sigh and rubbed my neck a bit.

"Oh, the Aunties want to see you three again, you up for a day at the temple?" She asked and I nod.

"Sure, sounds good." I say and then we hear the others come down the stairs and I look to see Marcy wearing Alex's shirt and Alex just threw on his tanktop and sweats.

"Morning sleepyheads, hope you have enough energy for today, we are heading to the temple." My mom says.

"Oh yes, I need to pick up more noodles." My dad says and I hand Alex and Marcy some coffee as my mom hands my dad his.

"Thanks." Alex mutters as he takes a sip and Marcy nods to me and I take a seat next to Marcy and my mom takes a seat next to dad.

"What time are we going to the temple?" Alex asked.

"After breakfast." My mom says and Alex rubbed his neck.

"I'm actually meeting up with my dad and mom today, but I can meet you all there later if that's ok?" He asked.

"Oh sure, we're there all day come by when you can." My dad says and I nod and so does Alex. We all eat breakfast and then Alex goes and gets changed as do we. Marcy gives Alex a kiss on the cheek and I kissed his cheek as well before he leaves to see his parents. Marcy and I helped my parents pack up the van and we head to the temple. When we got there, we helped my parents return any items they had borrowed and we talked a bit with the Aunties.

"แล้วสามีของคุณอยู่ที่ไหน?" (And where is your husband?). On of the Aunties asked.

"เรายังไม่ได้แต่งงานกันคุณป้า." (We are not married yet Auntie). I say and then smiled.

"But he will be here later today, he just went to visit his mom and dad." I explained.

"Ah got it. so have you planned out what you want to do at the temple for your wedding?" She asked.

"Oh right, the Planters will be coming back along with Marcy's friends and Alex's friends we just want to have a fun day, nothing too fancy just a regular day at the temple really." I explained.

"Oh, but will we have to dress nice at least?" Another auntie asked.

"You can, but make sure it's comfortable please." Marcy says and I nod with her.

"Ok, ok, got it." They say and I smiled at this.

"แล้วพบกันใหม่กับลูกๆ ทั้งสามคน เมื่อไร?" (Then we'll see you three with your children. When?). An auntie asked and I rubbed my neck.

"Uh, not too soon but soon maybe, we aren't sure." Marcy says and I laughed a bit.

"Yeah, what she said." I tell them.

"Oooh have you been teaching them Thai?" Auntie asked.

"Polly and I have been helping them." I admitted.

"I knew a little from when Anne told me some words when we were teens, but I'm trying my best, so I am sorry if I mess up." Marcy says and I pull her to me.

"Oh, it's fine, the fact that you are trying is what matters." An auntie says and I smiled at this.

"Well have you set a date yet?" An Auntie asked.

"We are between the seasons but I think we all want spring, not to hot or to cold for an outdoor wedding and party afterwards." Marcy says to them.

"So, are you having a big wedding where the Planters live?" We were asked.

"Well… we are ok with it but Alex, I think he wants something small, which we are also ok with." I tell them.

"Oh, something small?" They asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, though we don't blame him, he just wants something simple." Marcy says and I nod. We talked for a while and it was around twelve in the afternoon when we were in the middle of helping the Aunties set up some stands before a pair of hands covers my eyes.

"Guess who?" I hear and smile.

"Well, it must be Alex." I say and turn to see Alex looking at me and he was clean shaven and his hair was cut nice and clean.

"Oooh what's the occasion?" I asked.

"No occasion, mom thought I should get a clean cut, feels good, though I do miss the beard." He says as he touched his chin and I smile and place my hands on both sides of his face and I kiss him.

"Well, you look handsome either way." I tell him and he smiles.

"Where is Mar-Mar?" He asked.

"Right here handsome." Marcy says as she comes up to us and gives Alex a kiss and I smiled.

""So how was your day so far?" He asked us.

"Nothing too bad, Aunties asking the same thing, when is the wedding, how is the wedding being planned out, what will we be doing at the temple, when will we have kids." I list off and look to Alex and he looked to me.

"Mom asked the same thing, when are we having the wedding exactly, can she come to the temple for the little ceremony, what she has to wear if she does come, same with dad, they want to actually come here." He says and he looked happy at this.

"Did they ask for kids too?" Marcy asked.

"I mean… yeah, but what parent doesn't?" He asked.

"That is true." I say and he helped us with setting up the stand. When we finished up I go and get us something to drink and as I come back with some water bottles I see Alex picking Marcy up.

"What are you two up to?" I asked.

"Marcy doesn't think I can lift her above my head." Alex says as he does try.

"I'm liking the view; wish I could be taller." Marcy says and I watch them.

"Stay short Marcy we can gang up on Alex together." I joked and he was able to lift her above his head finally but then he quickly put her down.

"Gang up on me hu? shorties." He says and smirks.

"Well, that's no way to speak to us, the future mothers to your kids." Marcy asked and Alex turned red.

"So, water?" He asked and I nod as I hand them each a water and Alex took a drink.

"Oh uh… I should have mentioned this earlier but… Dad and Mom want to know if you and Marcy want to come have dinner with them? I told them I would ask you guys first before I agreed." He says to us.

"I wouldn't mind that; I think my parents would understand." I say.

"Well… they wanted to invite your parents as well, sorry I should have said it would be next week." He says.

"It's fine and I think both our parents would agree to dinner." Marcy says and Alex nods. The aunties then came over and talked with all three of us. My parents then came by and Alex asked if they would like to join his family for dinner and they said they would join. We stayed till it was almost night and Alex was having a drink with my father as Marcy and I got food with my mom.

"Alex's other mother isn't going to be there is she?" My mom asked.

"I don't think so, but I doubt she would come anyway with how she reacted the last time we tried to talk to her." I say as I got some noodles for Alex and dad, Marcy and my mom got some vegetables for everyone and we found them walking around a bit.

"Oh, look at Anne." Alex says as he points to a photo of me as a teenager dancing, I was fifteen in the photo actually.

"Yeah, after Anne came back and got to understand what the people here did for us, she began to be more active here." My dad says as he points to more photos.

"The planters had fun here too." He says and we come up to them.

"Got to have a lot of fun here." I say and look to the photos so see the planters and I. We went to take a seat and eat dinner and chatted for a bit and I look to Alex as he looked deep in thought.

"Are you ok Alex?" I whispered and he looks at me and nods.

"Yeah just… it's nothing." He says and eats another bite of his food. I look to him a bit longer and then take a bite of my own food Mary, Alex and I decided to walk around the city a bit and my mom and dad would head home early. We passed by the park and I look over to it then look to Marcy and Alex as they kept walking.

"Do you guys… ever wonder what would happen if we never met?" I asked.

"What has you thinking like that?" Marcy asked.

"Well for instance we met here, we played here as kids, we got transported to another world, it's just… it's the best thing that's ever happened to us… apart from all that's happened that was bad." I say to them.

"Yeah… in all honesty with all that's happened it would be weird." Alex says.

"It's like we were meant to be together, call it fate or whatever but I'm glad we all met when we did." Marcy says and I smile at this.

"You two honestly are the best thing that has happened to me." Alex says as he looked to the park and I look to it as well.

"Same." Marcy and I say and we laughed a bit at this. It wasn't long till we finally get back home and we headed to bed. I know we had been asleep for a good while before I woke up to Alex moving a bit in his sleep so I opened my eyes a bit and look to see that Marcy had also woken up to. We look to Alex and move a bit so he had some room to move and I look at him to see he looked like he was in pain.

"Alex?" Marcy asked as she put a hand to his face and he quickly opened his eyes and grabbed Marcy's hand and she looked to him.

"Fucking… damn it sorry." He says as he let her go and Marcy grabbed her wrist.

"No, it's fine sorry." She tells him and he shook his head.

"No, I just… I'm sorry it was a bad dream." He mutters and I look to him.

"Hey, what happened in the dream?" I asked and he pulls his legs up to his chest.

"I… don't know I just… it was nothing." He mutters.

"Alex." Marcy says.

"It was nothing I promise." He says and I look to Marcy then back to Alex as he put his hands to his head a bit and I rubbed his back gently.

"Why the hell am I having bad dreams?" He mutters.

"Because you had a bad experience." Marcy says.

"Wasn't that bad." He mutters.

"Hey, we told you before, our traumas are all different, but…" I look to Alex as he looked to me.

"But it's still valid and we should talk about it." He says and Marcy and I both nod at this. He kept silent for a bit and then takes a breath and looks to us.

"I almost got our homes destroyed." He says.

"It was not your fault." Marcy says and I look to her a bit.

"It was… I knew what I was doing when I let them take me, I knew what could happen, I just… I knew." He says.

"But you weren't in control Alex." I tell him.

"That's like saying I knew what was going on when I was in the core." Marcy says.

"But you didn't know… you didn't know Andrias would do that, you didn't but I did, I knew." He says and we both hug him and I feel him shake a bit as he cried.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't want to hurt anyone." He cries.

"We know, we know." I say and rubbed his back gently.

"Fuck… I'm acting like a dumbass." He mutters and we pull away from him.

"Well, you're our dumbass." I joked and we laughed a bit at this. He takes a few breaths before he finally calmed down and I place my hand on his and Marcy places her hand on his other one and he looked to both of us.

"Sorry." He says.

"Don't be sorry, it's ok." Marcy tells him and a few minutes pass and he lays back on the bed and we move back to laying down as well. I had my head on his chest and Marcy had her head near his neck and he just looked to the ceiling.

"Hey I know how we can get your mind off all this." Marcy says and we both look to her as she smiles a bit and I look to Alex as her takes a quick breath and I giggled a bit at this.

"Oh yeah, we should help get your mind off all this right?" I asked him and moved my hand down his chest a bit and he took another quick breath.

"Damn it you two." He mutters.

"What? Don't you want a little fun?" Marcy asked.

"I do just… fuck." He says as I moved my hand down more. A whole week would pass us by and we were getting ready to go to dinner with Alex's parents. We were going to a new fancy restaurant that opened up and I was putting my heels on as Alex was tying his tie.

"Hmm, why did they have to choose fancy? I mean it's nice and all but it's a bit much." I hear him say.

"They wanted to do something nice for the three of us." I say as I get up and he fixed his tie a bit.

"It's just… I'm use to the idea of making dinner at home, and talking while making said dinner." He says and I smile at this.

"And I enjoy that as well, and we can do that when we go back home to Amphibia, but for now let's just get through this." I say and he nods and I fix his tie a little and give him a kiss on the cheek and we headed out to the living room to see Marcy with my parents and we all head out to the restaurant. When there Alex's parents greeted us at the front and we all head in and are seated at the table. We gave the server our drink orders and looked at the menu's a bit.

"So how has everyone been?" I start off.

"Good, as usual." Marcy's dad says and we were all silent again and I look to Alex and Marcy who looked to each of their parents and I think.

"Alright, we all are here for our kids, and to support them in their future." My dad says.

"Right, so let's have some fun." Alex's dad says. We talked a bit about how the wedding is going to be, we finally decided that it would be during spring breaks so Marcy and Alex's siblings could come to Amphibia if they would like. We even told them how it might go as well.

"That sounds lovely, and you said you'll be having a small event at the temple, is that after the wedding or the honeymoon?" Alex's mom asked and I look to Alex as he turned red and Marcy giggles a bit at this.

"After the honeymoon, Alex actually planned it out himself." I tell them.

"Yeah heh, we're just going to travel around a bit so we won't be back for about four months." Alex tells them.

"Sounds romantic, a trip around the continent it's like a trip around the world here." Marcy's mom says and I nod.

"Well, more like we are on a trip around the world, we have other continents that Sprig and Grime found on their travels, heck we found another continent not that long ago with Sprig, I got eaten by a plant." Marcy says.

"Why would that be-." Her mom tried to say and Alex laughed.

"It's fun, plus Marcy is fine, Anne and I keep her safe, plus Marcy has been working with Polly on new technology for everyone back in Amphibia, see." Alex says as he pulls out the hand held for them to look at.

"Oh interesting." Her dad says as he holds the device.

"And I have modified our to be able to talk to each other, so if Anne, Alex or I come here and the others stay in Amphibia we can still call each other see." Marcy says and shows them how it works.

"You should apply to the technical university here." Alex's dad says to her.

"Oh no, I mean… we aren't planning on living here." Marcy says.

"Well, what about your kids? Don't you think they would like to know about this world?" Marcy's dad asked.

"Well, we would bring them to visit-."

"What about schooling? What if they want to go to college? What if they want to live here?" Her mom lists off.

"Hey we would let our kids come here if they want, we aren't keeping them in Amphibia forever." Alex says.

"Do you plan on going to school and getting a job here?" Marcy's mom asked.

"I mean… no I have a job-."

"But if you plan to let your kids, come here, where will they live?" She asked.

"Well… we just… bring them here for classes if they want to go to school here." I suggested.

"As good as that sounds it would be a good idea to have a home for all three of you and the kids you'll have, and jobs here as well." Alex's stepmother suggests and we look to each other.

"Yeah, but what if they want to stay in Amphibia with Grime and the others, it's basically a double edge sword situation." Alex says.

"It would still be a good idea to have a place to stay when you are here though, and we can watch the house for you three while you are in Amphibia." My mom suggested.

"Yeah, but I don't think any jobs here would take 'We live in another world so we need more days off than what you would want from us' as an acceptable form of taking time off." Marcy says.

"Plus, we have jobs back in Amphibia it would be a bit… overwhelming for some of us." I say and look to Alex a bit then to our parents.

"Maybe work part time, I know the Aquarium would work with your schedule Anne." My mom says.

"And plus, Alex could get a GED." Marcy's mom says.

"And study what? Only thing I would be able to do here is join the military… or construction work." Alex says to them.

"We can help you find work you would like, but these are just suggestions." His stepmom says and he looked to her then to everyone else.

"I'm going to step out for a bit please excuse me." Alex says as he gets up and heads outside and I look to Marcy and we both get up and follow him. When we did find him, he was sitting on the curbside and we take a seat next to him.

"Hey." I say and he looked to us and smiles a bit then looks to the ground and takes a breath.

"Sorry about my parents but they do mean well." Marcy says.

"No, I get it, they are right though, I mean what if our kids do want to come here? Start school here and such." He says and sits up a bit more and I look at him.

"We can tell them to not bring this up until later." I say and then a car pulls up and we look up to see Alex's other mother come out the car.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" She asked as we got up.

"Why do you care?" I asked.

"Well, I was here for a date but now I have to cancel since you three are here." She says and I glare at her.

"Well, that's a relief, don't have to stare at your ugly face." I hear Alex mutter.

"What was that?" She asked him.

"Getting up in age hahah." Alex says.

"Hm, seems like you haven't change from being an idiotic child." She tells him and Alex shrugged.

"Hey let's go back inside." He says and we nod as we head back in just in time for the server to come and take our orders and we see that his mother was seated over at another table with a man and I shake my head as she gives us dirty looks.

"Oh god she's here?" I hear Alex's father say.

"It's fine, she's on a date, and we both know she wouldn't want to look bad." Alex tells him and they both nod at this.

"So, I really want to know about visiting our home in Connecticut." Marcy's mom says.

"You know we were actually going to go visit a friend in Connecticut her and her wife so we can visit you and her." Marcy says to them.

"Oh, a new friend?" My mom asked and we nodded at this.

"Yeah, turns out she's been to another world too like us, except for her she went to basically a magical world." I explained a bit.

"Magical?" Alex's dad asked.

"Witches, spells and such, actually Luz's wife is a witch." Alex tells him.

"Oh, that sounds very interesting." His stepmom says and we nod.

"Yeah, they actually offered us to join them to their home in the other world." I say to our parents.

"The fact that we know it's possible still makes us worry." I hear Alex's dad say to us.

"It's fine, dad we're use to it." Alex tells him and he nods at this.

"I know, I know but a parent can still worry." He tells all three of us and I look to my parents who looked to us. We get our food and eat for a bit and we explained that we would not like to discuss about what to do with our kids at the moment, but that we did appreciate the concerns and would take their suggestions into consideration. They were ok with that and we ate our dinner and chatted for a bit, all of our parents said they would try to make it to Amphibia but we told them not to worry if they couldn't make it since we would be doing something small here for them just in case, we understand if they get busy. When dinner was done Alex's dad paid even though mine and Marcy's parents offered to pay too but he refused.

"It's fine, I asked for everyone to come." He says and once the bill is paid, we all head out and talk a bit in the parking lot.

"So, we will see when we can visit you guys in Connecticut." Marcy tells her parents and Alex was giving his parents a hug and then both set of parents left and we got in my parents' van and we headed back to their home.

"So, are you three going back to Amphibia tomorrow?" My mom asked.

"We were actually going to go back tonight Sprig and Ivy need us to help HopPop watch the triplets and Polly is going back to school in Newtopia." I explained.

"Sprig should bring his kids by I'd live to meet them." My mom says and I smiled a bit at this.

"We can see when Sprig and Ivy come back from their trip." I say and I look over to Alex and Marcy as they had fallen asleep. If I had to be honest, they had not slept well the other night, they did seem a bit worried about this dinner but that's what's to be expected, all our parents talking to each other again.

"I'm surprised Alex's mom didn't say anything or come up to us." My mom says and I look to her.

"Well, she did talk to us in the parking lot…. It wasn't… bad but we dealt with it." I tell her as she looked to me.

"What did she say?" She asked.

"Nothing we couldn't handle trust me, we handled it, and she didn't come over and bother us." I tell her. I hear her mutter something in Thai and I shake my head a bit at this and looked back over to Alex and Marcy. When we finally got to my parents' house, I woke them up and we all headed in and we changed out of our clothes into something comfortable and Alex, Marcy and I headed out to the back yard and take a seat in the grass and Alex laid back onto the ground.

"Sprig and Ivy leave tomorrow?" He asked and I look to him as he closed his eyes.

"Yea, so we can head out in an hour or so." I suggest.

"After a nap…. God I'm so tired." He says and Marcy put her hand over his eyes making him laugh but he didn't move her hand.

"Yeah, same here." Marcy yawned a bit and I put my hand on her back and rubbed it a bit.

"Why were you guys so worried?" I asked and that's when Alex moved Marcy's hand from his eyes and looked to me.

"I know I had asked for my dad and stuff but… having all our parents meet under the circumstances that we're all getting married to each other is a bit different than being friends…. Plus, I didn't know what anyone was going to say." He explained.

"I don't know if my mom would have brought up Alex's education, I mean it was brought up but, I don't know I just didn't want anything brought up that might make us feel bad or question a lot of things." Marcy says.

"Hmm, yeah… I don't know, I mean I get why they want us to be here especially if we have a kid or kids, depends." I say and I see Alex smirk a bit and I lean over and hit his hand and he looked to me.

"But think about it, they didn't really think to ask how Alex would feel, especially when it comes to finding a job that he would like, we don't have a high school education, we don't have diplomas, or degrees to show off." Marcy says and I look to her a bit.

"Like what am I supposed to tell them? Oh yeah, I was just in another world?" Alex asked.

"Same here, and possessed by a helmet filled with a bunch of dead Newts souls?" Marcy asked.

"Speaking of that, you two haven't had any issues with them, have you?" I asked and Alex lifted his patch and it was red and then he covered it back up.

"They've been bothering me all day." He mutters.

"And you didn't say anything?" I asked.

"Same here I think it happens when we get stressed out." Marcy tells us.

"Yeah, that's when they get really bad." Alex says as he sits up.

"And neither of you told me?" I asked them as they look to me.

"We didn't want to bother you with it." They both say and I look to them.

"It wouldn't have bothered me." I tell them and then look to the ground.

"It makes me feel like you two don't trust me to help you." I tell them and I feel them hug me.

"We talked to each other about it, but we just didn't feel like it was something you needed to hear about… we are sorry that we made you feel this way." Marcy says to me and I look to them.

"Sorry." Alex mutters as he puts his head near my neck.

"It's fine… at least you two talked to each other about it, I'm glad you two didn't bottle it up." I tell them.

"Yeah, learned that the hard way." Marcy says and I pull her close to me.

"Alright come on you two, you need some sleep." I say and I try to get up but Alex held us both to him.

"Hmm, don't want to move." He mutters and Marcy and I laugh at this.

"I think cuddles in in bed are way more comfortable, don't you think so Anne?" Marcy asked and I nod.

"Way better in bed, if you know what I mean." I joke and I feel Alex pull us even closer to him.

"Perverts." He mutters and then he chuckles and we laughed.

"Oh, now he doesn't like it." Marcy jokes and he looks to her and sticks his tongue out at her.

"Come on, let's get you two to take a nap." I say as I finally get up and so do, they. We waked into the house and the two went to bed and I told them I was going to talk to my mom real quick before I joined them, though they did want to argue I was able to get them to go to the room and I go over to my mom.

"How are you?" My mom asked as I go over to her.

"Good, and you?" I asked.

"Fine, how are Alex and Marcy?" She asked.

"They're tired, but we have to go back to Amphibia so I told them to take a nap." I tell her.

"You should take a nap as well." She says.

"I will, I just wanted to talk to you." I tell her.

"Oh, what about?" She asked.

"Anything really, I mean… Do you think this is a good idea?" I asked.

"Are you having second thoughts?" She asked.

"No, no god no I want to marry them I really do want to marry them…. Just… is it a good idea?" I asked.

"If you love them very much then yes you should if you really want to." She says and I look down a bit.

"There has to be more to it than just you asking me if you should marry them." She says and I twiddle my thumbs a bit.

"I feel like…they don't trust me when it comes to helping them." I tell her.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"They were stressing out and I didn't know, I'm supposed to know if they need help." I tell her.

"Did they ask you for help?" She asked.

"No." I tell her.

"Did they talk to each other?" She asked.

"I mean… yes they did." I tell her.

"Maybe they didn't want to bother you, or at least they think it would have been a bother to you." She tells me.

"But I can at least help if they talk to me, it's not a bother, I'm supposed to help them too." I tell her.

"Yes, you are but it'll take them some time to talk to you about it… Alex and Marcy still have to work on themselves as well, and it's just going to be a little longer before they can tell you about it… all you can do is help them when things get bad." She says.

"Why wait till things get bad? I don't want to wait for them to have a god damn breakdown in order for them to ask me for help, I don't want them to hurt themselves before they could ask." I tell her getting worried.

"Alex… freaked out so much when his eye turned red, Marcy didn't say anything about the core bothering her until then, mom I'm worried for them." I tell her and she sighed.

"They worry about you too… Alex and Marcy have come to me and your father when they felt bad after you… destroyed the moon… when they talked to us they felt like they couldn't help you if you have any problems from that… I mean dying is a big thing." She tells me.

"But I have talked to them-."

"Did you tell them everything?" She asked.

"I mean if they asked." I muttered.

"See… you don't like talking about your trauma just like they don't like talking about theirs… it's something you three need to work on together, maybe while you three are back in Amphibia you can talk about it." She tells me and I nod.

"Yeah… ok I'll ask them." I say and she rubbed my back and I smiled at her then I get up and head to my room and I hear Alex snoring and I giggled a bit and I get ready for bed. once done I get in bed with them and they both moved a bit and I smiled as I placed my head on Alex's chest and I hear him sigh. Marcy then puts her arm across and placed her hand on my head and I smile as she rubs my head a bit. We all ended up falling asleep until my alarm went off and I get up quickly to shut it off. I look down to see Alex and Marcy were still sleeping and I rubbed my eyes a bit and looked at the time. It was three in the morning and I set my phone down on the night stand and lay back down.

"Don't wanna wake up." I hear Marcy mutter and then Alex snored pretty loud and we both giggled at this.

"God he's loud when he's in a deep sleep." Marcy says and I look to her as she looked to me.

"At least he is sleeping." I say and she nods a bit.

"Sucks for you two I've learned to fake it." We hear Alex say and we both look up to him to see him looking at us.

"How?" Marcy asked.

"Ok some of it was real, but hey good right?" He asked.

"Please tell me you actually got some good sleep?" I asked and he nods.

"I did, I woke up when the alarm went off." He tells us and I put my head to his chest.

"We have to go soon." I mutter and he laughed.

"I know." He says and then rubbed the back of my head and I look up a bit to see he was rubbing Marcy's head as well.

"This is making me more sleepy." Marcy mutters as she closed her eyes. I put my hand on her face and she looked to me and I smiled at her as she smiled back at me.

"Well how about you and Anne cuddle a bit longer and I'll get our bags ready." Alex offered.

"No, I wanna cuddle both of you." She mutters and puts her face near Alex's neck and we both chuckled at this.

"We can cuddle more back home." Alex says but Marcy doesn't move.

"No." She mutters and I look to her.

"Do you not want to cuddle me?" I asked and then Marcy hurried over Alex as he laughed and cuddled next to me.

"I'll cuddle you." She mutters and Alex gets up from the bed and I grab his hand and he looked to me as I looked to him.

"Cuddles." I tell him and he sighs and lays back in the bed and pulls both of us to him.

"Damn your muscles are huge." Marcy says and he laughed.

"Thank you, got to keep you girls safe." He says and nuzzles into Marcy's hair a bit then looked to me.

"I love you two goofballs." I mutter.

"Oh, my Anne, I'm embarrassed." Alex says and I look to him.

"Really now?" I asked.

"Maybe a little." He says and I smile at him. He smiles back at me and then kisses my hand gently and I feel my face heating up a bit and I move my face into Marcy's neck and she holds me more.

"Ok, now I really need to get packing for us." Alex says.

"Noooo." Marcy says and I kissed her neck a bit.

"If we get back home, we can get back to sleep earlier." I tell her and she sighs.

"Fine." She mutters and I let Alex go and he kisses both our heads and gets to work and I hear him shuffling around the room a bit before I get up to see him picking up a bag and he turns to look at me.

"Good there Anne?" He asked.

"I just like looking at your muscles." I say and he smirked at me.

"Good I keep in shape for you and Mar-Mar." He tells us.

"Our strong man." Marcy mutters in my neck and I nod.

"Very strong man." I say and Alex seemed to smile more and then he finished packing our bag and then comes back to the bed with us and Marcy kisses him and he kissed her back. We all finally got up completely and we grabbed our bags and we headed to the portal. When we got back to Amphibia, we headed to the Planters house and picked up the triplets and they all climbed up on Alex who was laughing at this.

"UNCLE ALEX LOOK WE GOT OUR LEGS!" They yelled.

"Yes, I can see that." He responds.

"That means we can go on adventures with you and Aunt Anne and Aunt Marcy." Leaf says.

"Oh no, no adventures till you're bigger." Ivy says.

"No fair, Aunt Polly was younger than us when she went on an adventure." Leaf says and Alex looked like he was thinking.

"Actually, we could go camping." Alex says.

"Noooo, we want to go on the ships." The youngest says and I go and grab them.

"Come on Bea, camping is fun especially with Uncle Alex." Marcy says.

"Yeah, come on it's fun with me." Alex says and they look to him.

"…. Fine." They all say and Alex laughed at this.

"Thank you for taking them for the month Anne, HopPop has to go to Newtopia for a play he's working on and Polly is working on some new tech." Sprig says.

"Of course, but a month?" I asked.

"Yeah, we want to get as much exploring as we can." He says.

"It's fine, we can think of any activities we can do with them." I say and we go and take the triplets to the house and they run around a bit.

"When are we going to go camping?" Bea asked.

"We can go next week for now, Anne Marcy and I want to relax a bit, so how about you three and I go and make some tea for your aunts?" Alex asked and they ran into the kitchen and Alex set his bag to the side and went into the kitchen and we hear some clattering so Marcy and I go and help them.

"No, you two out." Leaf says and we laughed as her and her sister push us back to the living room and we go take a seat on the couch. We talked for a bit before Alex came out with a tray and he sets it on the table and we all get a cup of tea and relax for a bit as the triplets talk about how they are going to have fun during the camping trip. When we finished up the triplets then hurried to the spare rooms to put their stuff up and Marcy grabbed the cups and tray and we cleaned up a bit before they came back and they climbed on Alex as he grabbed our bags.

"Come on you three let Alex do what he needs to we can head outside for a bit." I say and they hurry off him and we head outside and they run around in the field a bit and Alex and Marcy come outside and they begged Alex to play with them. They play tag for a while and then they try to see who can jump the highest. Alex tried his best but he could never beat a frog in a jumping contest, but it was fun to watch. They played for hours and hours before the night came and we all decided to have a little campfire where Alex showed them how to make a smore. We had some fun before Bea yawned so Alex picked her up and then Marcy and I grabbed the other two and we took them to bed. Once they were lying down in bed and asleep Marcy and Alex headed to our room and I made sure to keep a night light on for the triplets before I went to our room and Alex was in the middle of changing so I go up behind him and kissed his back.

"Woah, hey there Anne." He says as he turned around and I kissed him.

"Hey there Alex." I say and kissed him and he kissed me back.

"Oh Alex, I… aww I want to join." Marcy says as she comes over to us and we laughed before she kissed me and I put my hands on her waist and we look to Alex as he stared at us.

"Hot." He says and we giggled and we take him over to the bed.
