Change Of Species

Chapter 21

**Mackenzea's POV**

I smiled at Zach, sunshine exploding out of my chest. Our problems were solved and I would be able to stop attacking my own husband for no reason. I still felt guilty about injuring his arm. He was only trying to stop me. I exhaled slowly and hugged Anna against my chest. She was half asleep and cuddled closer to me. I was finally at peace. I was no longer this horrid monster trying to hurt everyone I loved. I was a wife again and that was all that mattered. We put Anna in her crib and rocked her to sleep. We walked back into our room and relaxed. We huddled together under the blankets and closed our eyes. It wasn't long before we both fell asleep, the perfect ending to our day.

I stretched my arms, feeling compeltely refreshed. I opened my eyes and Zach was looking down at me. I smiled up at him. "Good Morning, sweetie. How are you?" I grinned and kissed him gently. "Morning, darling. I am good. I feel good and completely at ease." He laughed softly and hugged me against his chest. "I'm glad." I exhaled slowly and stretched my legs. I had never felt so amazing in my entire life.

Alex knocked lightly on our door as we walked into the kitchen. He walked right in and leaned against one of the countertops. "How is it going today?" I smiled at him and he cocked an eyebrow at Zach. "Everything is fantastic. Her episodes are cured." He nodded and smiled at both of us. Things were going great. Zach began to make breakfast as Alex left. Hopefully our lives would stay simple and carefree and nothing would go wrong. Of course, that was an imaginary land where unicorns exist. Life was full of complexity, no matter how simple you tried to look at it. I ate my food and enjoyed my families company. Anna was a happy little toddler and ate every piece of food that I gave her. She was like a mini vaccuum. It was amazing.

**Zach's POV**

I loved her with al my heart and soul. I washed the dishes and couldn't take my eyes off of my beautiful wife. I kissed her forehead gently and sat down beside her on the couch. I relaxed a little and changed the channel to one of my favorite shows. Zea just leaned against my chest as we enjoyed some quality television. Anna was sleeping peacefully in her play pen.

I kissed Zea's forehead and held her tighter against me. I had the best life. I couldn't ask for more. I closed my eyes and fell asleep holdin gmy baby. I had these horrible dreams about losing my family to some mysterious stranger. I woke up sweating and glanced around the room. Zea was curled up beside me, her chest rising and falling in perfect rhythm. I smiled and checked on Anna. She was deeply asleep in her crib. It was just a dream and I had nothing to worry about.

I went into the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea. Nothing would happen to my family if I had anything to say about it. I drank my tea slowly and started to relax. I stared out the window and watched the stars. They shone brighter than I had ever seen them. I finished my tea and set the cup in the sink. I sat down on the couch and wached television until I fell asleep.
