Back To War

Chapter Twenty-six

"Well there is twenty-five girls and only twenty-four boys. The land of Alaska used to be yours so the dominant genes are gonna be yours. It's simple really."

Ivan nodded slightly. "Ah."

"And...I've seen him in my sleep. If they makes any sense..."

Ivan shook his head. "Nyct. It makes some sense. I had seen Alaska during a snow storm and Fredka must have seen him as he was leaving the hotel."

"I wonder why we see him.....it's a bit strange. Sometimes I see him when he's about seven physically. Ten, and one time my physical age. I...I worry what that means for the future."

Alfred found the two of them and leaned against the door. "What it means is our family will be finally complete when Alaska finally decides to show up. We'd all be united." Alfred smiled. "I got that list you asked for Ivan." he held up the envelopes. "The second one is some money for new clothes."

Ivan smiled and stood up as he walked over to him. "Spasibo Fredka." He looked at Jocelyn. "I need to go get some new clothes. Maybe we can chat later, da?"

"Yeah. Where are you going?"

"Ivan had some business to take care of while he's here in the US, Jocelyn. He'll be back later on."

Ivan smiled. "There a mall around here?"

"There is one downtown I believe. There's also lots of stores as well."

Ivan nodded and took the second envelope. "Spasibo Fredka." He kissed him quickly. "I'll be back. Put the first one in my bag so I can go over it without getting interrupted." He whispered into the American's ear.

"Of course. Just be careful." Alfred said as he put the envelope in the bag.

Ivan smiled. "I'm always careful." He kissed his temple then walked out of the room.

Alfred looked back at Jocelyn, who had a smug look on her innocent face. He blinked. "What?"

"Nothing, Dad." moment of silence. "Looks like Uncle Matthew won the bet against Francis."

"That's nice.......wait what bet?"

"The one on how long before you and Ivan would.....uhm, frick frack?" Alfred just stared at Jocelyn.

Ivan took a deep breath as he stepped outside. He looked towards downtown and started that way.

Jocelyn then poked Alfred's stomach.

"What are you doing?"

"Hmm? Oh......nothing?" Alfred frowned.

Alfred rolled his eyes and almost didn't hear what Jocelyn had said when she left the room. He looked back at her. "You're acting strange."

"Hmm? It just confirmed something Alexa had predicted with her weird Voodoo magic. Later dad."

Alfred frowned some more then poked his own stomach.

Ivan looked around the mall. "Oh. I better call Fredka." He pulled out his phone and called Alfred.

Alfred looked out his phone and raised an eye brow. Then answered it. "Yes, Ivan?"

Ivan smiled. "I was just calling to let you know that my eldest was going to send my sniper to your house. I didn't want you to worry or get scared if a random person knocked on the door and handed you a box."

"Oh. Uh ok? I don't think they send things that quickly though. Unless you're Alexa, who just voodoos the hell out of everything."

Ivan smiled. "He likes to get things done quickly. I'll be back in half an hour. He should be there in two hours."
