Dinosaur King - Chains of Love

Chapter 16 I See This Life

As time passed, everything settled in again.

Reese and Zander were just laying in the bed, spending all the time they could together—they were reading.

He rested his head on her lap; he started singing and kissing her belly from time to time when the reading got too boring. "My sweet angels..." He planted a kiss on the belly and then looked up at his fiancée. "You're wonderful, have I ever told you that?"

"Every single day."

"Because it's still true! I'd do anything for you two, no matter how stupid it is."

"You're just worried because of Seth, aren't you?" Reese asked him.

"Of course I am! He basically forced you into an abortion..."

She stroked his hair. "But Gelly talked him out of it, didn't she?"

"I'm not so sure about that. I don't trust either of them... And that Ellie spends so much time with that Gel Jark alone does not calm me down. I don't want her to get hurt; I don't want to lose Eric."

"Ellie can take care of herself. Also, Gelly isn't as evil as you might think."

"You really think so, angel?"

Reese nodded.

"Well... if you trust her... She might not be that bad..."

She smiled. "Glad you think so because I'm going to hang out with her, Ellie, Cretacia, and Laura today."

Zander immediately shot up. "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"

"You just agreed with me," Reese reminded him with a frown on her face.

He jumped off the bed. "I didn't know you're about to spend time with that... with that... pudding!"

"Don't call her that." She sat up.

"Why not? She's the enemy after all!"

"The enemy?!"

"I just don't think she can be trusted-"

"So? She explained all her and Seth's reasons."

"You said yourself that reasons don't matter."

"And yet you excuse our actions by the relatable reasons." She took his hand. "I know that you don't trust Gelly or Seth, but you can at least trust me."

His ahoges hanged down sadly.

"Please..." She stood up and pecked his lips.

"Of course I trust you, angel."

"There's no need to worry about us."

"I guess..."

"I'll head out in a while; Sarah and Amour are in their room in full size. Could you take care of them while I'm gone?" she asked him.

"And what if I came with you? Minmi can take care of them instead," he suggested.

"I'm sorry, love, but this is ladies' afternoon. Gelly needs to spend some time with people and knowing how much you and your family despise her, it isn't the best idea for any of you to come yet." She stroked his arm reassuringly.

"Maybe..."

She smiled and went to change her clothes from her layback outfit to a more socially appropriate and warmer one.

"Wait! I think we should talk about our wedding; we still haven't planned anything-"

"I am not staying, Zan, no matter what you say."
