"Get back here!" I called to my children running after them asfast as I could holding my dress up. Citizens moved out of my way asI hurried my (green turning to blue/magenta turning to purple/yellowturning to orange) gown being held up to my knees as I ran after themischievous little devils my (hair color) hair pulled back to keeproom for my satchel.


"Never mama!" Violet, my oldest, called out. Violet had my haircolor while she had Lily's indigo eyes being so close to purplealmost, she had my smile and eye shape but Lily's nose and facialstructure. She seemed an almost perfect mixture of Lily and I. Therewere leaps and bounds in my old world with technology making wherethey could turn bone marrow to sperm cells and were working on makingit where the stem cells of bone marrow make eggs so two women and twomen could have children. But it was so much simpler in this world. Aritual allowed Lily and I to have a child, she carried Violet as Iwould carry the child fathered by Jason.


Despite being not born from Jason we all three were considered theparents, there was no difference from the child between Lily and I orthe child between Jason and I. Violet wore her purple sundressrunning along with her hair meticulously braided as I had doneputting the violets in her hair to shine against the soft locks. Shehad just turned seven and despite being five years old physically shewas full of energy and especially when I had to move in these longdresses for official queen business made it harder.


Her younger siblings, twins Phoebes and Luna hurried to follow aftertheir little sister. Phoebes looked so much like his father itsometimes was off putting. He had my eye color, he being the only oneto inherit that, and my nose and he loved to be a little knight intraining. Though we had all three explained that a knight did not dothis, he as well as his twin sister would do whatever Violet did. Hiswhite blonde hair was shaggy and his dark green tunic showed off hispale snow white skin as he jumped over a few obstacles.


Luna was the youngest, having been born a few minutes after Phoebes.She looked the most like me of my children, she had Jason's eyeslooking almost fully blue seeing only a hint of purple under certainlights. She had her daddy's grin and almost everything else made herlook like me when I was three. Her (hair color) hair was cut to justher shoulders and one lock was taken and braided and a pink bow tiedto the end to hold the braid in her short hair that matched her dressthat was a longer more princess like dress her not yet being changedfrom us meeting with the East Kingdom.


We had just returned home, we still needed to help Phoebes and Lunachange back to play clothing but Violet could change herself. She hadcome to our room from her own down the hall to see and seeing bothher siblings had been changed gave her call to them and theyimmediately ran after her.


It was my turn to run after them.


All are children were good, we were blessed in that regard. But itdidn't mean that Violet wasn't rambunctious. When the time came theyall three would inherit this kingdom and Violet already was in themaking to be a good ruler. She would be serious when she needed to beeven if she loved having fun which is good. And she adored her littlesiblings and they loved her, as well as each other.


Phoebes was obsessed with the stories I remembered of fairy tales Iwas told as a child as well as the more kid friendly story of all theways we had met though it had to be in symbol since I did not want toexplain to them me dying several times. While Violet loved to hearany and all princess stories she could, all three were kind tochildren and took to inviting any they considered to be left out oreven bullied in their group, making a friend group that was basicallyall the rejects of other groups.


I liked them playing fine but not inside, there could too easily makea mess that I didn't feel like cleaning up. Sure there were servantsto do that but they were not our slaves to wait on us hand and foot.Suddenly there was a flash of green and Violet was lifted up gigglingand I smiled as I heard my children's excited cries.


"Uncle Larry!" They called and Lawrence chuckled.


"Are you being trouble for your parents?" He teased and whilePhoebes looked down embarrassed and Luna gave her sweetest smile andbig doe eyes shaking her head in the negative Violet was much more honest.


"Yes."


Lawrence chuckled at her answer handing her off to me as I took her."Thank you brother," I thanked and he patted my shoulder.


"Any time sister, I am sure Jason and Lily will be here any-therethey are." I turned to what he was saying and saw them in theirnormal clothing and grinned as they came and I relaxed as Lilygrabbed up Phoebes and Jason picked up Luna.


"Mommy!" Phoebes grinned nuzzling into Lily while I sighed andJason leaned over to kiss my cheek getting a chorus of 'ew's from ourchildren immediately followed by giggles.


"You three made your mama tired." He chided lovingly as theylooked up at me with those sweet faces I couldn't be mad at if Iwanted to.


"Oh no you three don't." I am at least able to fake it to themthat I can be strong with them. "Now you three have letters towrite." I smile and they giggle happily, about twice a moon-ormonth-they would write a little expert that would be sent to eithermy parents, little sister or older brother so each set would get aletter from myself and their grandchildren/nieces and nephew everymonth and a half. Jason and Lily would occasionally write as well.


I visited my family a handful of times in the three years betweenbeing with Jason and Lily and marrying them as well as a couple timesafter but I slowly pulled that away visiting less and less claimingthat we had moved to the other side of the world and could not get tothem.


"Come on," I wave goodbye to Lawrence and get to the room settingthem down while I get to change into some normal clothing. Passing byI see one of the lima beans that one of the servants children wasgrowing was starting to die. Making sure the little boy was no wherein sight one hand came from playing with Violet's hair to put my handdown and make the lima bean be okay for a while even if she doesn'thave quiet the gentle touch to it. After the ritual to make me likeLily and Jason my powers came mine being the ability to controlplants, the same power that Lawrence has.


That's it. Thisstory is done. I love Jason and Lily and hope you guys have as well.
