2.10 That Special Someone

It was like the house was build for us to live in. It was wonderful, spacious and it felt like home the minute we stepped inside.
Before long it was time for the twins to grow into toddlers. We held a big family party to celebrate.
First i held Ian to blow out his candles.

Then it was time for Beatrice.

Then we all sat down and ate cake. It was nice to be together with all my family again.

We didn't see each other often enough, and i promised myself that from now on I would spend more time connecting with them again.
James came up to me and said: "What a lovely party. Congratulations on the twins."
"Thank you. I can't believe how fast they grow up. Before long it will be time for their first day at school, and then their first girlfriend, high school and so on."
"I know. I still can't believe Moses and Diego is young adults already. It seemed like yesterday they were little toddlers just playing around with their xylophones and dolls."
"How about we all go out for dinner sometime? To catch up and talk about what ever." I sent him a smile, which he returned. "That's a great idea. I'll talk to Malinda about it and we'll find a day that we all can."
"That sounds great." We kept talking for a while until it was time for the guests to leave. Then i cleaned up while the boys played with the twins.

The twins loved to play together. They would often be found at the doll house, biting the heads off the dolls.

Elle and I had taken it upon ourselves to teach them to walk and talk and potty train them. It went smoothly enough, but Beatrice seemed to have a harder time learning. She easily got distracted and went to do other things in the middle of it.

Elle's Pov

One night i got a call from  Zack Durwood. He asked me to meet him out in nowhere. He was an acquaintance of mine so we weren't exactly what you would call good friends. I agreed and went to the empty spot across town. When i had waited for about ten minutes, i was freezing my butt off. Then suddenly he drove up on the sidewalk in his car and got out. He walked up to me and kissed me on my cheek. "How are you?" he asked.

"I'm freezing, but otherwise i'm fine. Why did you want to meet me out here?"

"I have something to tell you, but, well it's hard for me to express in words." He looked down at his feet.

"You can tell me. It's better to just let it all out than go forever with it inside." I felt a bit sorry for him as he stood there, not knowing how i would react to what was about to come.

"Okay here it goes. I like you. I've liked you for a long time, but i didn't know how to tell you, and i was afraid of how you would react. I mean, you barely know me, but i know i could make you happy, if you would just give me the chance to prove it to you."

I did not expect that. 

"I have a boyfriend," was all i could say.

"Oh, i see. Well, i guess you were right about getting it out in the open. I feel much better now, knowing that instead of going on forever being in love with you."

"You're in love with me?" Javon had never said to me he loved me.

"Well yes,"he said, looking into my eyes. He had beautiful eyes. I felt like they were looking deep into my soul where nobody else could see. I suddenly had a strong urge to kiss him. And i did.

"Wha-what was that for?"
"I just felt like it," I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well how do you feel about this?" He raised his arms and placed them on either side of my head.

"Quite good," I said as i melted away. He kissed me with his soft lips. I wanted him more than i had ever wanted anything else.
"Come," he took my hand and i followed him to his car. We drove in silence to his apartment where we made sweet love all night. The following morning as i woke up, i felt a pang of guilt in my heart. I had cheated on Javon! How was he ever going to forgive me. Oh i had really screwed up now.

Camille's Pov

It was 8 o'clock in the morning when suddenly the front door opened and closed. I went out to greet her.
"So, i guess you had a good night, eh?"
She looked down at her feet. "I cheated on Javon last night." Tears appeared in her eyes.
I went over and held her tight in my arms. "Shhh... shhh... it will be okay." I said while rocking her from side to side. "Maybe he will forgive you."
"I don't think so. I'm not sure i want him to forgive something like this." Tears started to stream down her face now as she cried onto my shoulder. "There there. Come into the kitchen and i'll make you some coffee." When i had made it we sat down at the table and drank our coffee while we talked it all over.
"Maybe you should make a list of all the good things and bad things of each of them and then make a decision about who you want to be with." I suggested.
"Well, Javon is very family oriented, but he is also a workaholic. He spends most of his time at work so i don't get to see him that often. Zack on the other hand doesn't work. Other than that i don't know much about him. But they are both sweet and lovingly and very passionate."
We kept on talking for a while, until I heard the twins waking up upstairs.

Third Person Pov

One afternoon Aidan's cousin Alysia, Rie and Jerry's daughter, came with him home after school. Alysia had been somewhat cautious about going home with him. She had heard rumors that he was a bit insane and extreme, so she wanted to see it for herself. Aidan was excited about bringing home a friend. He didn't have many friends at school so this was big for him. She stroke up a conversation with Aidan and it was going fine until she asked him what his future plans were, considering he was about to graduate in a couple of years. He then started talking nonsense about how it didn't matter since gnomes were about to take over the world and that they were planning on human extinction. 

She looked at him in disbelief before saying "I can't believe you would say that. What's wrong with you?" and she walked out. He just stood there like he had been slapped in the face, looking at her leaving. Wasn't family supposed to accept you no matter what? He knew that his views of the world was different than others and that he himself was different. But he still thought that family should stick together no matter what. 

The next day at school he was mocked by the other students. Alysia, who was rather popular, had apparently spread word about Aidan being insane and about the gnomes he had talked about. He was called insane and stupid and gnome lover all day. He had never felt worse. As he was about to leave class at the end of the day, a girl came up to him and said: "I don't think you are insane, i think you are cute," and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. That definitely brightened up his day. He was floating on a pink cloud for the rest of his day. 

The next couple of days he didn't mind the bullying. He was spending most of his time with the girl who's name was Wilhemina Wolff. He had heard rumors about the Wolff family being different, but he thought about how other people thought he was different too, so it didn't bother him. 

He invited her home with him one day and she accepted. When they got home she said she had a terrible secret she wanted to share with him. "What is it?" he said very curious. He loved secrets and he thought of himself as a great secret keeper. "I'm actually a werewolf. Everybody in my family are." She looked at him carefully. "You're a werewolf? That is so... cool!" He exclaimed. "You really think so?" she said looking happy. And then he kissed her.

"I do," he said. After that, their love blossomed for each day they were together. They spend every waking moment together either in school, at her place or at his place.
One night they were lying in his bed exploring new things with each other. "I love you," Aidan told her. "I love you truly with all my heart. I'm so glad you can accept me for who i am,  as everybody else see me as different and strange."
"I love you too," she told him, looking at him with both kindness and lust in her eyes. They moved under the covers and had their first time with each other. It was both awkward and romantic, as neither of them really knew what they were doing. They just followed what they had learned in sex education class in school.
Afterwards they lay there holding hands and complimenting each other. 

It seemed like time stood still for the young couple, but in truth time went fast and soon they had been together for three years. Camille had gotten a lot of promotions during that time and the twins kept learning new things every day.
Elle had taken a job at the local hospital and had also gained a few promotions.
Then finally it was time for the twins to grow into kids and they did so on a Monday night while everyone was busy with their own things.
First it was Beatrice.

 And then Ian.

Camille decorated both the twins bedrooms herself as a birthday present.
Here is Beatrice's bedroom.

Here is Ian's bedroom.

They loved it instantly and thanked their mother over and over again for their cool new rooms. As they tried out their new outfits their mother had bought for them, she took pictures of them both for memories.

The two of them were very close, just as twins often are. They almost knew what each other was thinking before saying it and they had their own special language.
