“Grandbabies?” this is all too crazy, and somehow, my future love life overwhelmed me.
I felt anxiety rise. My chest tightened, and my palms sweated. The pounding of my heart thrummed in my ears. I saw Terrek in my mind, and I was certain I love him. I looked at the display disk and watched Flame as she worked.
I was attracted to her, and she sent heated vibrations of lust throughout my body. I really liked her and our budding friendship. I just never envisioned falling in love with two people simultaneously. When I think about Flame, Terrek, and I all together, desire enveloped me, and I wanted that. I craved it. I would not let cravings hurt Terrek, though.
“I love Terrek, and I don’t want to complicate that. I already chose Terrek. I consider us married already, for Christ’s sake!” I insisted.
I’m trying to ignore my building need for Flame.
“Yes, Terrek is your mate. You love him. He will continue to love you as he will love Flame. Loving Flame doesn’t jeopardize what you have with Terrek.” Harmony said.
“Can’t I wait for another life if we need to, if it’s too much for me right now,” I said, trying to figure out a way not to complicate life more than it already was?
“Sweety, no, only if one of you should die before you bond. You will always find each other. There is no way around my mother’s decree. You will be happy when you accept it. Besides, I know you truly want Flame. It is just a matter of acceptance.” Hecat and Harmony shared a look.
I was so upset with Hecat. It took me time to get to know and forgive him so that I could become agreeable. I truly love him now.” Hecat kissed Harmony’s head and hugged her.
“The three of us together, is this accepted? Will we be judged?” I asked all of them.
“Oh, I see, you did grow up in East Texas, the bible belt of judging people,” Jason said with a giggle.
“Darah, you know better than to worry about what others think.” My mother scolded me.
“I raised you better than that.” She continued.
“Darah, all we care about is your love and happiness. However, that looks and works for you. If my baby girl is happy, then I am happy.” My Dad insisted.
“Things are different than the way they are on Earth. It is not uncommon to have polyamorous relationships with multiple partners, whether my mom has designed that or not. Don’t worry. Trust how you feel in your heart.” Harmony said reassuringly.
“Baby girl, I am so proud of you. Look at how you rallied the galactic empire and your saving slaves. You deserve love and happiness, and I am honored to watch over you and see how you live an extraordinary life.” My Dad said, a bit choked up.
“You’re going to make me cry, Daddy. I don’t feel extraordinary. I do what is right.”
“Darah, honey, you just keep on doing that, and know we love you, and we are always near.” My mom said, hugging me.
“Big sis, you know I got your back. Kick ass and take names.” Jason’s words faded as I woke up and lost my vision of them.

(On planet Harmony, a universe far away)
I emerged from the seas with my bag full of pearls. Rina, the water dweller, gifted them for my aunt Brooke’s baby shower. My mom has me flying all over the place to gather all the gifts and supplies. My auntie helped my mother raise my siblings and I. That means Brooke being pregnant is the event of the century, and my mom was over the moon about it; everything has to be perfect.
Auntie Brooke and Uncle Fang adopted Phoenix when he was orphaned during the war against the vampire a thousand years or so ago. We have been grown for over a century now. Now that Brooke and Fang are expecting, the entire Dragoon Kingdom is celebrating. My mom was so happy.
She was insisting on throwing a surprise baby shower, one of her and Auntie Brooke’s customs from their birth world, Earth. I guess that makes me half-human, but I have never been to Earth. Our god portal is one way only. We call it Harmony’s delivery door, a nickname my mom and Auntie Brooke named it when they first arrived on this planet through that portal door.
I transformed into my dragon form and flew. Soaring to the grand hall so I can treat myself to the human food that the food replicator delivers through the god portal. I saw my sister Blaze perched on a crystal pedestal cloud that was floating up in our colorful skies.
“ Mom is waiting on those pearls. She wishes to hand them to the jeweler so he can create those necklaces for Auntie.” Blaze’s voice booms inside my mind.
I landed on the crystal and stared down at the mountain that Harmony’s hall was built into.
“I know, Blaze; I was just visiting with the water dwellers; here, take my bag of pearls to Mom.” I gently unclenched my claw and dropped the precious jewels into my sister’s open claw.
I am craving an animal-style cheeseburger.”
Blaze gave me her knowing look as she closed her claw around the bag.
