To be honest I thought y'all had forgotten about this little story, all of a sudden there's been a wave of interest.
Previously.....
"Thank you, for showing me the value of human life, call on me if you ever need assistance..."
"I will, and one more thing..." I glamoured him
"You don't wanna look like a deserter..."
"Wise child."
"Don't do anything evil..."
"I couldn't now, I have experienced what its like to do good, and I want to continue doing good, I think I'll become and X-Man... ain't that a kick in the head..."
I was walking back to my family when I saw him there on the ground trying to heal someone, it wasn't working, he slumped back, and there she was... Melinda.
Marvelously Charming
Chapter 47
Only The Good Die Young
Melinda
"Mom?"
"Yes baby its me."
"Am I??"
"Yes I'm afraid you are honey."
"But what about.... " I started crying, "Darryl, what about... my baby!?"
Wyatt
As I slumped back I knew this was true, my baby sister, gone... and I didn't have the power to save her.
Chris approached, "Where were you!?" He screamed at me, his eyes glazed over
"I was, I wa--"
"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE STRONG ONE, THE CHOSEN ONE!!"
"I know... I kn--"
"YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU ARE A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A LEADER, FOR A BROTHER, FOR ANYTHING!"
"You watch the way you speak to him." Pete said grabbing Chris's arm, to which Chris responded with a telekinetic wave of said arm hurling Pete across the daisy filled field
"THATS MY WIFE YOU SON OF A BITCH! AND HE... LET....HER....DIE!!!!" Chris broke down into dry heaves and held his stomach..
Chris pulled an in shock Darryl into a hug, and held him there, as the large man broke down in tears, "I know what to do, nobody is going to like it, but its the only way to save her, I've basically been dead, I know it takes longer than this to move on, leave it to me, I will fix this."
Chris
"You know what you are asking will drain our collective power, weakening us beyond repair."
"Yes I understand that, which is why I am offering up myself, I will join you if and when you do this for the greater good."
"Very well, we will grant your request, go now, time will reset itself to just before she is killed, you will have the power to resurrect her with the avatar power connected with your healing power."
Melinda
"Mom, I don't want to be here, I want to go back, I want to be with my family, to have my family, with Darryl."
Piper clutched her chest "Your brother, he's doing something, he's fixing this, you have to hold on baby, do not give in to death, he's going to fix it, you will be okay, I promise
Suddenly I am back in my body and being savagely beaten over the head with a rock, I see a claws appear through the assailants chest as he slumps down dead, and that's the last thing I see before once again I am hovering over my own body, I look BAD my face is unrecognizable, drenched in blood my skull is practically open, if I was alive i'd puke, I see Wyatt get to me too late, I'm already dead.
Then Chris orbs in, something is different about him this time, he isn't sensing Darryl's emotions like last time, he somehow has gained control over his powers that typically consume him, he holds out his hand while Wyatt attempts to heal he, a beam of bright white light appears from his palm, and goes directly into my heart, he holds it there, and doesn't let go..........................................................
NINE MONTHS LATER
"YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU ARE NEVER GOING NEAR ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!"
"Everyone meet Leila Raye Morris."
The rather large family bustled and fawned over the new baby girl, "How did you come up with that?"Johnny asked
"Simple, her names come from all four of her grandparents."
"Oh, I get it I get it." everyone talks it over
"She's beautiful.
Death the seemingly imminent portion of life, mothers fathers sisters brothers friends, maybe cousins, everyone knows the pain of loss, but for those who have found a ray of light in the darkness, thats what hope is all about, in death, we find life, in life there is always death, duality, though scary, is necessary to the spinning of the universe, this has been Ask Wyatt Live on KCSF 101
"Great show Wyatt, a little gloomy, but people really have responded, the amount of web forums popping up about you is insane, you have really got this whole advice thing into the 21st century, congratulations."
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Wyatt asked the stranger
"I'm Dean Robbins, big fan, avid reader, and owner of the station."
"Oh, in that case, its nice to meet, you Mr. Robbins."
"Please, call me Dean."
"Well Dean, if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to be." Wyatt said flashing a smile
TROUBLED WATERS
"OH FUCK!" Dean said as he collapsed forward onto Wyatts chest, "That was..."
"Fun, okay I've got somewhere to be."
"That is always your excuse."
"Well I have a husband and kids to get home to."
Dean gripped Wyatt from behind, "Then what are you doing here."
"I've gone against my nature for too long, I've been with one man for over ten years, and its boring, we haven't had full blown sex with each other for over a year, and this, this is just sex, its just a distraction."
"I'm cool with that, it's not like I need a boyfriend to worry about on top of everything else."
"And that is why I'm here, cause there aren't any strings, we fuck, nothing more, we dont talk, we don't kiss, its just business."
"Speaking of business we're expanding, you're going satellite as well as hosting TOP 40 with Ryan Seacrest."
"Cool, see you tomorrow at lunch."
"My place is much nicer than these hotel rooms you know."
"Well your place is personal, I don't want personal.
PARADISE
"Are you happy?" Johnny asked me as I played with my photo albums arranging all the kids' photos in a timeline
"Extremely, you make me as happy...." Chris stood up and straddled his husband's lap kissing him passionately, "AND as horny... as the day.... I.... Met... You..." Chris said punctuating with kisses
"Truly?"
"I swear on my entire shoe collection as well as my first born, you and those kids, are all I need to be happy, I am so in love with you Johnathon I could die happy right now, in your arms, exactly where I want to be, forever."
"You are the single most beautiful person on the planet Christopher, inside and out, you are my perfection, the one person that can brighten my entire life with a smile, you gave me children who all somehow have your smile, and that honey, is paradise, I am so lucky to get to share my days with all of you."
"We must make peoples' teeth hurt." Chris smiled and kissed Johnny once more
"Probably, but true love is supposed to be sickening on some level, right?"
"Sure thing baby."
They snuggled in the chair until they fell asleep, lovingly in each others arms
New Territory
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That's all I hear, ever, this is all so new
"Come on Leila, lets go to sleep, hush little baby don't say a word, mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird."
"And 4 hours later, the queen has gotten the Princess to sleep!" Melinda exclaimed as she silently shut her bedroom door
"About time my queen." Darryl said with a slight chuckle
"Who knew parenting would suck so bad...?" Melinda collapsed into the soft bed
"Everyone, your brothers have like a hundred kids, they may have mentioned the first year sucks, every day... yeah but they did year one like a hundred times, they only got better at it, we are only on kid one..."
"Only on.... oh no baby, these legs are CLOSED for that sort of business, I am not giving birth again."
"You're really done?"
"That baby in there is a miracle, I wasn't even supposed to be able to have kids, and then now I have physical damage from the battle."
"Don't remind me."
"Chris may have healed me, but he only gave me life, the internal damage and scar tissue is still there, its just a miracle that Leila had powers at all, enough to shield herself from damage."
"I know, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try."
"Baby, let's get through year one, before we start talking more kids."
"Deal, this really is all so new."
Bridging the Gap
"TALK TO ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"
"Nothing." Wyatt said not looking up from his book
"You can't even look at me can you, who is he?!"
"Dean."
"Dean as in your boss, as in not that cute I only have eyes for you DEAN!??!"
"Yes that's the one, we have sex daily." Wyatt said still not looking up from his book, which was then ripped out of his hands and torn into pieces
"Look at me when I speak to you." Pete said with a dangerous edge to his voice that made Wyatt gulp as he looked at him, "He fucks me like you haven't in over a year." Pete's eyes glazed over and narrowed as he grabbed Wyatt by the shoulders
"How could you do this?" He cried, his massive frame suddenly looking so tiny, "I raise your children, I cook for you, I provide a house for you, I am there for you at the end of everyday, how could you do that, to our family, your children, your own flesh and blood, to me, your husband..."
"I have needs." Wyatt said shrugging off Pete's hands
"That's it, that's you GREAT EXCUSE IS THAT YOU HAVE NEEDS!?"
"You haven't been passionate for over a year, you barely even touch me, I wanted to feel the touch of a man, I wanted to feel the passion of a hot fuck session, to feel myself be penetrated with such fervor that I couldn't help but scream at the top of my lungs, like I used to with you, you drove me to it, always worrying about one thing or the other, look at Chris he has way more kids than we do and still manages to ride Johnny nightly, sometimes twice a day, and he films movies, records albums, makes public appearances, is a charmed one, and to top it all off he still operates the restaurant and night club, and Johnny is a full blown whitelighter, he's always off somewhere helping a charge, and they STILL have a better marriage, kids, a SEX LIFE, they have everything we lack, passion, attentiveness beyond the children, they have true love where we have lies, and I just can't do it any more I won't do it anymore, I want to get a divorce, you can have anything you want."
"I only want the children."
There is was like a slap in the face, "You can have my condo."
"You have a condo?" Pete asked in disgust
"I've had it forever, my Aunt Phoebe owns the building, you can live there, just pack up the kids and get out."
Wyatt took Laura and Grace and gave them hugs, "You're going to love the city, and have so much fun, i'll visit you as often as possible."
They just nodded, "My lawyer will have all the papers ready for you to sign in the morning, "I want you to relinquish your parental rights."
"What?" Wyatt said
"Look you can do this quietly and still see the girls whenever you want, or we can go to court, and when I win, I will cut you out completely, its your decision." Pete said and they left
Wyatt collapsed in the nearest chair, "What have I done???"
_________________________________________-
The Power of Three
"Vanquish this evil from time and space!"
"Wow, its been a while, almost forgot how to vanquish those."
"Who's up for some wine?" Chris asked
Wyatt produced three glasses and Chris popped the cork
"The power of three." they clinked their glasses together
"So...., is that like a fashion choice?" Chris asked Melinda pulling on her hood
"Very funny, like I have time for anything else."
"Honey I went through that way more times than you and aside from a fat ass, looked hot any time of day, at least you sprung right back to a size 4, jeez.... slut."
"How's everything Wyatt?" Melinda asked
"As of this morning, divorced and not legally a parent." Wyatt said somberly
"WHAT!? How could you not tell us there were such serious problems!" Chris chastised Wyatt
"I cheated, I let my boss fuck me.... a lot.... and I couldn't lie when confronted directly by Pete, he told me that all he wanted was the kids, no money, nothing, just the kids, he's been more of a father to them than I ever was, they deserve his stability, i'm not cut out to be married with children."
"So you just gave them up??? You didn't fight for them??"
"I DON'T DESERVE THEM, AND THEY DESERVE BETTER, BECAUSE INSTEAD OF SPENDING ALL MY SPARE TIME WITH MY KIDS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY WORLD I WAS TOO BUSY GETTING BENT OVER MY BOSSES DESK... SO NO CHRISTOPHER I DID NOT FIGHT FOR THEM I DID WHAT'S BEST, I AM NOTHING BUT A CHEAP WHORE WHO THEY ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT!!!"
"You don't mean that..." Melinda said cautiously
"Don't I... I am horrible, I am selfish, the girls weren't even sad when they left, and what's worse, they didn't even make me promise I would come visit, they are so young, and they know I'm not worth my word."
"I can't believe my ears..." Melinda and Chris got up and left
"Perfect..." Wyatt said and gulped down the bottle of wine, "Power of Three my ass."
That night Chris and Melinda made passionate love to their husbands, twice.
To Be Continued
