496: Creatures

Creatures

  Ever since after that trip somewhere in the jungle and after she got pregnant, she's been seeing a lot of things. Like the creatures that they fought up in the mountains before they separated the air gem. She didn't know what was going on with her. But she felt that something was going to happen. Something big. 

"Hello," Connor bent down and kissed her neck while his hand traveled to her navel. "Sexy," he mumbled and gave more kisses to her neck. 

"Babe, I was thinking." She said and held the back of his head. 

"Hmm?" 

"When we were out hunting for the gems, there were rare creatures that we fought. I thought I was dreaming but it was all real." 

  Connor snuggled to her as she continued telling her story of what happened. The way she described each of them made Connor believe that what she was saying was true. He would believe everything that she would say anyway. 

"So, what do you think will happen?" 

"Dragon could foresee if a disaster or chaos would happen and somehow, I had a dream about those creatures and my insides felt the same." She held his hand tightly. "Our baby is a blessing of one of the gems, my love. So, believe that it was true." 

"What should we do?"

"We should get the half of the air gem together. Or else, everything will be in chaos. That's what I feel." 

"Jo!" Keira exclaimed as they smiled when Keira and the others arrived. "How's the bride?" 

"I am trying not to eat a lot and looked bloated in my wedding gown." 

  Keira looked at her stomach. It was still flat like she wasn't even pregnant. 

"You don't have to diet at all. Anyway, everyone is here so we will get ready. We will check around the area in three hours. Dione was busy screaming around." She waved off and left. 

  Johanna gently pushed her fiancee as she stood. Then, she reached his hand as they went upstairs to the playroom where everything was chaotic. Quinn was crying over something, Kal looked guilty, Calli looked chill in her father's arms, Granger looked like he had just gotten out of the prison, Dione was screaming while running after her bunny, Levina was busy on her teether, Kaiden had his eyes wide while watching everyone. How come it becomes this chaotic?

"What's going on?" She asked. 

"It's just some normal day," MJ said as she watched Cole and Dione trapped the bunny.

  There's also Guinevere who hugged Jade. It seemed to be final that they are going to adopt her. The papers are done and Jade has to stay here. 

"Baddie!" Quinn threw her stuffed toy toward Kal. 

"No. No. You baddie." Kal told her. 

"What's going on?" Johanna asked Kal. 

"Kin-kin want~buy Vivi toys," Kal said. Johanna looked at her man. 

"Love, did you also do the same thing whenever you want something? Like throwing money at them?" 

"Nope." As a good father, Connor picked up Quinn and wiped her tears. "Say sorry now, little lady. You can't buy anyone's belongings." 

"Sowee." She sniffled and continued crying. 

"Say sorry to Vivi." 

"Sowee, Vivi." She cried more dramatically and hugged her father's neck. He can't give in to the simple manipulation of her daughter. But Gray found it very amusing while he was watching from the corner. Connor glared at him while Gray watched something over his phone. He will surely harass that man later. 

"Stop crying now," Connor told her as she pressed her lips to stop crying. She was about to run to Johanna but Connor stopped her. "No." 

  She pressed her lips even more, as her face turned redder than before and tears rolled down her cheeks. 

"Do not do it again." He said but she didn't agree with him and she pushed him. Then, she ran off somewhere. They watched as she ran around and then hugged Cole. He patted her head and she cried in front of him. "There we go again." He mumbled. 

"That was kind of harsh," Gray said. "But she's so adorable when she cries." He added.

  Keira wanted to get away from the noise so she took her husband and child to the garden and since it was chilly, they had to wrap up Calli and put hot pads close to her. She hugged her husband who was busy talking to Calli over his chest. 

"Love," 

"Hmm?" 

"I have a very, very odd dream." 

"Like?" He kissed her lips passionately but she pushed his face a little. 

"Listen. I remember each detail of my dream and this might be a message." 

"Okay," He adjusted his body to face her to give all of his attention to her. 

"I dreamed about these creatures. They looked mythological but I know all of the details of how they looked. She took out her sketchbook and showed it to him one by one. These are air creatures, then ocean creatures…" 

"Ocean creatures don't exist and air creatures." He said. 

"I know, but it might be possible since Lefebure was after it." She mumbled. 

"So, if they are really what are the side effects?" 

  She moved closer to him and her lips were very close to him. 

"Remember when Jo has to work with the Lefebure to gather each of the gems?" He nodded his head. "They saw these creatures while they are after the air gem and the guardian break the gem so it won't create chaos. But since the gems are broken and afar from each other, those creatures will continue to went through danger to get the other half. In that way, those creatures would stay wherever they should be. I don't know about science and black holes, and other stuff but it just makes sense." 

"And if the other half was in the Charles Facility it only means that these creatures will go there and kill people?" 

"They don't kill unless they are threatened. That's what I know." Keira still thought of the gem in the Ocean HeadQuarter. Somehow, there are no creatures~~like what she dreamed of going around the headquarters and if there were, they would just roam around and won't break the facility since the gem was protected. 

"Guys," Karmina called from the balcony. "Get in. We have to eat." 

"Great. I miss mom's cooking." Keira quickly stood and took Calli from her husband. 

  They all rushed back inside and headed to the dining hall on the second floor. The kids were noisy but it made Karmina happy. 

"It smells good already," Keira said. 

"Your mom and I have been preparing since early this morning." Henry hugged her daughter and kissed her forehead. Then, he took Calli and give her more kisses. 

"Dad, your beards!" She exclaimed at him. 

"I just shaved." He told her and gave more kisses to Calli. 

"Oh," Keira giggled, taking her husband's hand but she somehow reached his belt. She turned to him and grinned then, she pulled his shirt. 

"You need to watch what you are grabbing." He whispered to her in a very low voice. 

"Sorry," She giggled at him. He pulled a chair as Henry can't get enough of just holding Calli. He even tried to pick up Dione but the little girl didn't want to be carried. "Dad," Keira laughed. "You can't get all of the kids together." 

"You guys have fun while I will take care of these babies." He finally decided. "We will have fun." 

"Hello, great people!" They all turned their heads to Alex's dramatic entrance with Gena, Tracy's mom. 

"You guys are late," Karmina said while she was busy serving the kids their favorite dish. 

"Mom just sits down," Harvey said and squeezed his mother's hand. "We are big guys. We can take care of ourselves."  1

  In the middle of their meal, Keira and Johanna's phone rang at the same time. They checked their phone and stood at the same time without noticing it. They both went in different directions. Sandro and Connor looked at each other. They both shook each other's heads like they didn't know what their business was all about. However, the girls need privacy and it surely wasn't any man that they would cheat on.

"Mama!" Quinn called in a high pitch and Connor took the table napkin and covered her mouth. Quinn giggled as she was about to call out again. 

  Shortly, the two went back and they sat down. Johanna cleared her throat. 

"Currently, the Charles Empire is being surrounded by unknown insects," Johanna announces as she gets back to her food.

"What?" They all looked at MJ who shook her head. "I have no idea about that." 

"That wasn't MJ's plan. But it was because of the gem. They need to surrender it to the Dragon." Keira said as they all looked at her. 

"I didn't plan anything about insects," MJ mumbled. 

  Karmina shrugged as she finally sat down to eat. 

"Well, it was their fault after all. Karma has its ways." Karmina said. "Let's not talk about any of that Empire and let's have fine food. This is the first family to get together at one table for a long time now."
