Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 682: Fussy prophet.
Chapter 682: Fussy prophet.
"The children are sleeping right now. Why don’t you sit down and let’s talk about things. I know that you have questions for me just as I have questions for you__, both of you. Like what happened to you in the months that you were gone. How did you come to an understanding to share the body? Most importantly, how you feel about me being a grim reaper and...."
"I have been summoned." He looked up and said while she was still talking.
He teleported away without even bidding her goodbye which drove her mad with fury because she didn’t like it when he did this. He was always using the excuse of being summoned to dash out on her, behaving as if the only available grim reaper to handle whatever was going wrong in every world on every universe.
He was angry with her. Nyx was not angry but Esong was, she could feel it. He didn’t know how to treat her now that she wasn’t who he thought she was. He was experiencing the same emotions she experienced after finding out that she had been unknowingly dating and sleeping with Nyx sometimes.
She sat down in the rocking chair and sighed. Would this marriage work out? What was going to happen when they returned to the human world? Would he keep avoiding her? The threat to their children had been handled for now but she didn’t know if it was permanent. There were many things which were worrying her.
She sighed and twisted, then twisted again to a different side in the chair experiencing discomfort. She was feeling too unsettled to just sit around doing nothing but she also couldn’t leave the children and just teleport away even though the hounds were keeping watch outside and inside the house.
Suddenly, she started thinking about going home, after all, who in their right mind would touch the children of a kopuko when they were all so frightened of her?
They had been staying in the underworld for two weeks so far and she had been drowning in her own thoughts the whole time. It was not how she planned to spend the rest of her winter. Her mind was made up suddenly.
"Severus, Grimm, Shadowpaw, everyone, we are going home. Come and grab everything that we will need."
The hounds teleported into the house at the sound of her voice, one by one and they came with their fears and questions.
"We are going home, really?"
"Why are we going home?"
"Does Nyx know that we are going home?"
"This is a bad idea, very bad idea."
"One at a time or I will not be able to address you." Scarlet told them.
She waved her hand and brought out a life pod that was large enough to carry five children. She placed all the babies inside carefully. The oldest, who was the fussiest, cried a little bit at the disturbance.
"Great you woke her up and now I have to babysit." Grimm complained.
"You are her hound. It’s your duty so quit complaining and get to soothing." Severus told him.
"You say this because your partner is an adult. Why don’t we swap for a day, I take Scarlet and you take fussy prophet over here."
Scarlet turned to Grimm and she asked, "Fussy what now?"
It wasn’t her intention to laugh but a small chuckle escaped her lips as she looked at her oldest daughter and the words fussy prophet continued ringing in her mind.
She laughed some more and said, "To think that I have been racking my mind for names when I could simply call her that."
"Don’t do it, she will hate you." Severus said in a sing song voice.
Confused, Shadowpaw asked Severus, "Why are you singing?"
"Because my voice is sweet." He answered.
"I hear a lot of talking but see no packing." Scarlet called out.
Severus noticed that she was packing everything, including the hand crafted toys which Nyx prepared for the children. Even the rug in the room, the basinet, the little flute which played music that put the children to sleep, the rocking chair were packed up. When she moved on to the bed, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Are we moving back home or are you taking advantage of the opportunity to clean him out?"
"It’s for the children." She answered.
"Even the bed?" he said skeptically.
She shrugged and replied. "The children like the bed, it’s a comfortable bed."
"And the carpet?" he asked.
She furrowed her brows and asked him, "What are you, the captain of the robbery squad of the RGB? What’s with all the questions? She turned to the more obedient Blaze and said, "Don’t forget the little train set and marching band toys. Also, get some of those tea leaves from the kitchen. I don’t know which tree produces such fragrant rich tea leaves but if I find it, I am uprooting and taking it with us."
Severus huffed and hid his eyes behind his paws. "Now we are stealing his plants? What else, the water in his house?" he muttered.
He couldn’t help feeling like a thief, no matter how Scarlet put it. The children were not old enough to drink tea so of what use would they have for tea leaves? She was taking all the things which caught her fancy.
"He said I can have anything I want Severus, don’t over think it and don’t worry. We are not stealing; we are simply making sure that we are as comfortable in the human world as we are here in the underworld. I may hate living in this place but it has been a rather comfortable little cave to hide for a while."
The hound looked at her and asked, "Then why are we running like thieves in the night? Why can’t we wait for him to return? You guys fought again, didn’t you?"
"We always fight lately because he won’t talk about things." She answered mundanely.
"Have you considered giving him time? The hound asked her. "You took time away from your family to deal with your issues and protect the children. That time alone allowed you to deal with your emotions and sort them out. Perhaps he needs the same thing as you. Don’t force him to talk or do anything. Just allow him to deal with what has become his new normal in his way. Unlike you, he wasn’t given much of a choice in this matter." The hound advised her.
She scoffed and thought, first he is a robbery detective and now he is a therapist. What a great talented hound.
"That’s why we are moving back home, so that he can have that time and I can get a chance to breathe again." She answered.
She took one last look around the room and then teleported back to the Blue star.
