Heterochromia- Aftermath

{Part 2 of the three cases because I couldn't help myself!}

Case One: She had no idea what to think or how to go about what happened. The Flash was her soul mate. After he introduced himself, she noticed that he saw her wedding bands. It was no wonder that he didn't say another word to her; he actually left the three to be alone. The last time she saw him, she was giving the founding members her thoughts on Tabitha's character. The man fidgeted and avoided looking at her the entire time. Dr. Lindsey left Watchtower full of emotions.

Her real problem would be at home, she knew. There was no hiding the fact that her left eye was brown. How she wanted to be like the majority of the natural brown-eyed people at that moment; she had heard that the change was wholly unnoticed by the lot of them!

She got home just in time to greet her children as they got home from school. The most perceptive of the three, Jamil, widened his mixed brown eyes at his mother.

"Your eyes are the same, now, momma!" he nearly gasped. Embarrassed, Jamila gave the boy a smile as she went through his backpack, the yellow lightning bolt a constant reminder of who her true love should be. Jamil's voice drew the other two and they gaped and stared as well.

"Yeah... they are."

"So, that means... you met him?" A.C. asked. Jamila nodded at her oldest but tried to busy herself into getting the children's folders.

"Alright, you three; let's get your homework done before your daddy gets home." Jamila immediately changed the subject. She was glad for the change as the three grumbled and headed towards the dining room table.

The silence at dinner was very uneasy. Her husband clearly had a lot to say but refused to do so in front of their children. He gave the three their hugs and kisses before they ran upstairs for bed, leaving Jamila to tuck them in. She sighed heavily as she made her way upstairs. The roles had been reversed that night; she was the one who cleaned the table and kitchen while Albert got the triplets ready for bed. Of course, she didn't mind watching the three as they washed their faces and brushed their teeth. She fought laughter as the boys argued over whose pajamas were whose; a quick suggestion that they should sleep naked resolved it quickly.

The three shared a room and Jamila knew that soon, she would have to clean out the other that served as a storage room for her daughter. For the moment, the three had no problems sharing a room. She took her time tucking her children in, wishing them sweet dreams.

"Momma...?" her daughter called out before she could close the door, "Does this mean... you don't love daddy...?" her question made Jamila's heart drop. She made her way back to the girl's bed and sat on it, shaking her head.

"No. It doesn't mean that at all."

"But, you met him. And... and Miss Henry said that once that happens, you have to be with them!" A.C. chimed in. She watched as his eyes glistened and her heart continued to crumble. Jamila held in her own tears as she motioned for her sons to join her.

"Come here..." she waited until she had all three in her arms, "I don't care what your teacher says. It's not true. I love your daddy very much. Did you know that the four of you are my world? And that I wouldn't give that up for anything?"

"You mean that?" A.C. sniffed.

"As far as I'm concerned... I'm already with the one I'm supposed to be with..." she smiled widely. She wiped her children's tears away and they got back in bed. When Jamila looked up, she saw her husband standing in the doorway. Albert quickly raked his hand over his face, something Jamila knew he did whenever he didn't want anyone to know that he was crying. He waited in the hallway as his wife gave their children more goodnight kisses and closed their door. She immediately hugged him.
