"I missed you so, son...", Thaddeus sighed deeply, and Augustus, with his dirty blonde hair, yet more shaggy than Milo's hair, with hazel eyes, smiled, "Me too, Father...I'm not upset that Mother has found love with Greta, and I'm so happy for you. We saw the whole ceremony...You really love Abraham, huh?", as he pulled back from the hug as he wrapped his arm around his wife Lucille, having dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes.

Thaddeus smiled brilliantly as he glanced over to see Abraham talking to Greta while holding up little Klaus in his arms, "More than I ever thought...When I thought I lost him, it was like my heart broke in pieces all over again...worse than...you know...", with a sigh as he looked back at Augustus and Grace.

Lucille smiled, "It's okay, there's no pain or sadness or anger in the heavens, Thaddeus...We're safe and well, and we're proud of you as much as we are for Milo...I'm only sad that we cannot be there to be grandparents, but you two can be there for him and his growing family.".

"So, I was right...We are in a communal dream, but how?", Thaddeus breathed as the others came over, with Greta replying, "The Great Kings of the Past gave us a one-way visit to bless you both.", smiling as she brushed a strand of her light brown hair over her ear, her teal eyes sparkling with warmth and tender love as she kissed Grace on the cheek as Abraham clearly showed that it was okay between them and the children.

Abraham smiled, "I'm really happy for you two, and I'd never thought we'd never be able to see each other again until the end of our days...Why did they do that?".

Grace replied, "Two things...Those things would be really shocking surprises for everyone in the morning and all, but only if you want to...First of all, the Great Kings has decided to let us tell you that they wanted to gift you which is de-aging you back to your prime ages, so you two can have all the time you deserve with each other, which is a really pretty good deal, considering how you had saved Atlantis.", with a smile.

"You're kidding...", Thaddeus said as Grace chuckled. "Nope, not in the slightest...", she said as Abraham and Thaddeus looked at each other.

"Certainly would be a shock for others in the morning...", Abraham said. Thaddeus chuckled, "No doubt...but wow...our prime ages, huh?...Well, I'd have to say that 28 sounds good to me as that was the age when you were born, Augustus...".

Augustus smiled warmly, "Does that mean you want this?", and Thaddeus exhaled, "Spending decades with my husband, how could it be any better?", smiling nervously at Abraham who blushed, smiling widely, "Do you even have to ask? I'd not mind being 25.".

Greta smiled warmly, "Great...Kids, don't you have something to say?", looking at Marlene and Klaus. Klaus looked at Abraham, "Can we live with you, Daddy?", and Abraham smiled gently, "Oh, son, I'd love to see you again, but...people would be upset if you came out of the ground on the surface...it's not natural at all.".

Marlene replied, "Wrong, Dad. Klaus was asking if we can be the buns in the oven with you.", with a nod, interpreting for her little brother.

Abraham looked to Greta as she smiled, "They deserve a chance to actually live... before you ask, I'm fine staying behind myself... I have Grace to keep me company, remember?".

Abraham exhaled, and Marlene replied, "Dad, we don't have bad dreams or anything like that, but we still want to forget that part of the past...The Nazi camp was really awful...", and Klaus whimpered, "And scary too!".

Abraham shushed him gently, picking him up, "It's okay, Klaus, they won't hurt you anymore...", knowing that they suffered before and after Schimdt, and Hitler as well..."But how can they be...with me? I mean, I'm not a carrier...".

Grace smiled warmly, "The Great Kings will help out in that part, along with Thaddeus' help, and before you ask, their souls will remain the same, with a small part from Greta and me, as we have been looking after them a long time since we met in the heavens.".

Klaus smiled happily, "Mommy and Mama be part of family! And Daddy, I want to stay Klaus, but sister not want to stay Marlene!", and Marlene gasped at him, "Klaus, that's tattling!".

"But you supposed to be my brave sister, not scared!", Klaus frowned, and Abraham replied, "Kids, settle down...What do you mean by not wanting to be Marlene, my little darling?".

Marlene looked down, "Mom and Mama knows...When you were with the scary man, camp got bad...Bad men said that Germans can't be Jews...Made fun of my name because I was a Jew...Then I heard Mom talking with Mama while you were with Thaddy, about Mama wanting to have named a girl Rachel if big brother Augustus wasn't a boy...I'm sorry, Mom and Mama...I want to be Rachel...".

Abraham and Thaddeus looked to each other as they chuckled. "Well, of course, whatever it is you wish...", Abraham squeezed her tight in a hug. "You'll always still be my child, no matter what...".

She looked at him, "You don't mind, Dad?", and Abraham smiled, "No. I always will love you. And besides, with a small part from your mothers, while your new father and I...ah, help you two be the buns in the oven, you will always be my daughter no matter what you look like or with your name, my darling Rachel.".

Rachel's eyes teared up happily, "I love you, Dad!", hugging him back, and looked back at Greta and Grace, "Is that okay, Mom and Mama?".

Greta smiled, "Darling, you'd always will be our daughter, and you know what, Rachel is better fitting for you.", kissing her on the forehead as Grace gently ruffled her bangs, as Abraham gently dropped Klaus to the ground to hug his mothers.

Thaddeus exhaled, "So, that was the second thing, huh? I'm going to miss you, Grace, but I know you'll be safe and happy with Greta...And son, I'll tell Milo that you and Lucille said hi, okay?", feeling like this is now approaching the time to depart and wake up.

Augustus smiled, "I'd not expect anything better than that. And before you ask, when you wake up, you won't need your glasses anymore, as the Great Kings has been working on you two while you've been with us.", hugging Thaddeus warmly.

"I really miss you, son...", Thaddeus sighed as Augustus nodded, "I know... I hate that we couldn't be there for Milo... but you did a wonderful job with him...".

Thaddeus smiled, "He's such a chip off the shoulder, alright...You don't mind, right?", and Augustus smiled, "Are you kidding me? He's an amazing young man because of you, and now he's in a place where he can belong, with an incredibly compassionate woman who is clearly stepping up from princess to queen in a few more days or a week, and of course, a little one that can bring the best of both worlds in a way to Atlantis.".

Lucille replied, "And we couldn't be any prouder of him than we are, Thaddeus.", with a kind, warm smile, as she hugged Thaddeus gently, "Don't worry, we will see each other again, just not for a long, long time.", before they nodded at him, leaving the group, disappearing into the misty clouds.

Grace smiled at Thaddeus, "You deserve to be a father again, and a grandfather once more to Milo's child...You can make your life with Abraham, and the kids...Just don't forget to tell stories, eh?", hugging him once again with a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Thaddeus chuckled, "Oh, believe me, I'll have lots of stories to tell Klaus and Rachel, and Milo's child, and all the Atlantean children when I can while exploring the ruins.", and Grace chuckled, "Good. We will keep watch over you, Thaddeus.", with a smile before joining Greta.

Greta hugged Abraham, "It'll be weird, believe me, but it's worth it. Being pregnant was one of the greatest things for me. You're very lucky that carriers last for 24 months, so you'll have a lot of remaining time to be a safe place for our kids to grow up as buns in the oven.".

Abraham exhaled, "I promise I'll look after them, Greta, and I'll have probably more respect for you in the end of it all than I would ever realize.", with a smile. Greta chuckled, "I know you will...we will guide the kids when it's time. There's no need to rush tonight, after all, as you want this to be special with Thaddeus, as you'll be distracted by him, not that I'd blame you.", with a smirk as Abraham blushed brightly.

"True...", Abraham chuckled before looking down at Rachel and Klaus, "I know you two would be impatient, but try to behave for your mothers...We will have you home soon, okay?".

Klaus giggled, "Okay, Daddy, and we not want to be too small! I wanna hear you and Thaddy!", and Rachel nodded, "We're gonna be twins, if that's okay, Dad? We don't want to hurt you if we're months apart or something...".

Abraham looked surprised as Greta replied, "As Rachel is 8 years old here, 8 months would be too much shock on your body, so, they decided to be 5 months old in place of Klaus being 5 years old here, and that would be 4 months of being 5 months old, and so on, like Klaus said, old enough to hear you and kick.", with a smile.

"Will that be instantly or...", Abraham looked over to Thaddeus as he took a deep breath. "Well, I know that we certainly had our chance at a few points of... consummating our love for one another but we both thought we might have just been too up there in age for it...".

Greta smiled sadly, "You two were too up in age for it, but now, with the Great Kings gifting you and currently working on you two in de-aging to your chosen prime ages and making you a carrier, Abraham, you can have your chance back at consummating your love for one another, and it's not instant, but think of it as like 5 hours of steady acceleration after...ah, the tadpoles reach the eggs, and you will wake up to find yourself pregnant.", now nodding as she tried to put it in simple words with the kids nearby.

"I see... not much of a chance to at least get used to our revitalized bodies by the time these two get to be coming around again...", Abraham chuckled as Greta smirked, "Sounds like someone's eager to try some things again after so long...".

Abraham blushed again, "Why are you so bold?!", and Greta giggled, "Being together with Grace...It's strange, but I'm liking to be myself more than ever than I was before with you, Abraham...No offense..".

"None taken...", Abraham smiled, and Greta replied, "Well, you do have some time to get used to it. Remember how I was?", and Abraham was a bit confused before he remembered...He then smiled, realizing that within the span of the remaining time of the 24 months pregnancy, from 5 to 7 months, if carrying for four months each with each stage, he can have more chances to do lovemaking with Thaddeus, thanks to the horny hormones and all.

Then a humming bell sound echoed through the dream, and Grace replied, "That's the signal that the Great Kings are done. We love you, boys, and we will see each other again in the far, far future, no doubt about it.", with a smile.

Thaddeus smiled, "We love you, girls, and we will never forget you two...We will not take too long for the kids.", as he took Abraham's hand, squeezing it lovingly, and Abraham smiled, "Indeed. It is not goodbye, but rather, see you later.", as he waved his free hand to the women, as the children hugged around the men's knees, and joined the women, as they disappeared with the misty clouds becoming bigger and bigger, and then darkness before they realized the light of their crystals as they woke up.

Thaddeus was the first one to truly start waking, his mouth feeling fairly dry as if he was tasting something off the whole time. He groaned as he gently rubbed Abraham's chest as he felt that the two of them were still spooning one another.

Thaddeus heard Abraham murmur in his waking sleep, and he smiled, feeling Abraham's slight abs and firm pecs before realizing that it wasn't thin fat that he had before. He then realized that he is seeing more clearly than ever before, 20/20, and he moistened his mouth as he slightly sat up to use his crystal to turn on the pedestal light above them, turning the dim setting to bright.

His breath then caught in awe as he saw Abraham, not scrawny or elderly thin, but a beautiful, respectably wiry frame, with slight muscles, seeing the warm tan skin complimenting the tattoo he got earlier, seeing lush, healthy, and slight curly, scruffy dark brown-ish black hair, with full cheeks, having a thin, supple mustache/goatee of the same color as his hair, with no scruff on his jaw sides or cheeks, and Thaddeus can see how strong his back is, with an attractively tight ass.

He can feel his arousal waking up in a long-awaited, familiar way as he smiled, kissing Abraham's cheek, "Abram...Wake up, my heart...", caressing his side, glad that the Atlantean wedding clothes was slightly more formal in robes and yet more casual in skin modesty, than surface wedding clothes.

Abraham groaned as Thaddeus kept nudging him. "Five more minutes please... I'm old...", he said as Thaddeus chuckled, "Sorry, but you can't make that excuse anymore for a long time...".

Abraham half sleepily replied, "Tad, five minutes...", and Thaddeus raised an eyebrow before smiling as he whispered sensually into his ear, "I doubt five minutes would satisfy us, eh?", his other hand moving under Abraham's sarong-kilt, teasing his own revitalized and healthy penis, earning Abraham to moan and gasp in surprise and pleasure before finally realizing and waking up as he turned around to face Thaddeus who smiled wryly, "Hello, Abram, my handsome husband...", seeing Abraham's beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

Abraham himself was in stunned awe as he took in the revitalized vision of his husband, his Thaddeus, as he is very attractively handsome, having a lean and strong body with definition to his abs and back, like he had been traveling all over the world on expeditions and all, full cheeks, with healthy tan skin, showing off his tattoo beautifully, with his hair now a dark chocolate brown, lush and healthy and wavy long hair just of the nape of his neck, with a strip of a mustache of the same color, like how professors have it, thick and healthy, with his eyes a strong beautiful warm brown color, like Milo, no fade at all, and he exhaled, "You aren't wearing your glasses.".

Thaddeus smiled tenderly, "Nope. Looks like you aren't needing yours either...They really fixed us up...From the feel of it, I'm definitely 28, just like I wanted...And you?".

"Certainly feeling young and full of energy again..Defintely 25 like I wanted." Abraham chuckled. "Certainly going to take a bit of time to get used to it again... not to mention trying not to shock everyone else with our radical change.".

Thaddeus grinned softly, "Certainly...All the same, you are the same Abraham Thatch I fell in love with...", before leaning in to kiss him passionately and vigorously, probably the first time in a long, long time since he did, as Abraham gasped, wrapping an arm around him, returning the kiss happily and eagerly, feeling Thaddeus doing the same, and then felt a tongue licking at his lips, asking for entrance, and Abraham let him in, moaning and gasping in pleasure as they wrestled tongues passionately, barely breaking up for air before going back to it under seconds.

It lasted for several minutes before they stopped, panting lightly as they touched foreheads, with Abraham whispering, "Oh, Tad...That was...oh, gods, I never thought I'd do this again...You really are the Thaddeus Thatch I fell in love with...", with an overjoyed smile.

Thaddeus whispered sensually, "You truly are a natural kisser, but what about everything else?", his hands moving to caress his body through the skin revealing slits and such, and Abraham blushed, feeling that long-missed, familiar desire come back to him, and he shyly bit his lip, "We really have been wearing pajamas and nightshirts and such all those times in bed and all...You really think I'm handsome under those Atlantean robes and such?".

"I can certainly hazard a guess...", Thaddeus chuckled. "Well, it might be a bit disappointing, I wasn't exactly the greatest in shape when I was young. I certainly wasn't going on exotic expeditions and having to stay in shape just to survive.", Abraham said.

"Somehow I get the feeling that might have been fixed with our recent change; especially considering where we are.", Thaddeus smiled widely.
