Chapter 203: Setting Off pt2

"Why are you taking Tescelle and not me?" Nurwari complained, with hands on her hips and a pouty look on her face.

"You know why, Arrentia is coming with me and you are staying to help with the people that need it back at Dreams. And you also want to come with me to the Cresting Wilds after this right? Arrentia will be taking your place when you do."

"Ho! Fine! But then you are coming with me!" 

Nuwari grabbed me and started to drag me away, but I stopped her. I knew what she wanted and I was more than willing to give it to her, but I wasn't going to leave Addel and Nina waiting for us. 

"Wait until I talk to the other girls, and then you can drag me away, okay?" I asked, but Nuwari pointed to an open door and then to a watch on her wrist that wasn't actually there, but I got the message.

I walked up to Nina and smiled down at our son, Graph. There was a little snowbird nestled into his blonde hair, one of Wendy's snow pets it looked like. I looked up from our son, into Nina's violet eyes with her brown hair framing her delicate face. 

"I am going to miss you, dear," I said leaning forward to kiss Nina.

"You know I will always be with you! Nina said taping my forehead with a finger from her free hand.

"No, Eva will always be with me. The two of you are different people now, but you are right, we will still be able to feel each other as long as Eva is with me. I wish I could be here to watch him in his first month, but I will be home after and we can all go on the trip."

I leaned down and kissed our sleeping son on the head and felt a weird pulse come from Graph. I straightened and looked at Nina with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you feel? There was some kind of pulse that just radiated off of Graph when I kissed his head."

"Yeah, I felt it, and it made me feel…" The voice from my shoulder stopped because I was staring into his dark little eyehole sockets.

"...Icle?"

"Is that the best name you could come up with?" The little snowman on my shoulder said.

Had one of the girls slipped me some drugs as a funny joke? But seriously, there was a miniature talking snowman on my shoulder complaining about the agreeably horrible name I chose. 

"Oh yeah? What's your name then?"

"I don't have one!" The little snowman said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Then what do you want to be called?"

"I don't know, I'm not good with names and such, but Icle...no thanks."

"Fridge, I like Fridge. What do you think? It's a place to put this to keep things cold," I asked the little snowman.

"Sounds pretty good, but we will work on it, Fridge sounds a bit clunky. So what are we doing now, boss?" Fridge asked me.

"Well, looks like you have a new friend now to keep you company when you get lost, hehe. I love you and I hope you have a safe trip," Nina said before she leaned in to give me a kiss.

"Woah, what are you doing with your face? Can I try it with you, master? You guys looked like it was pretty enjoyable!" Fridge asked.

"You're funny, no, it's a couples thing. You need to find another...we will work on this problem in the future. Right now I have one wife left you to go see and then one I still have to go feed!"

"Feed? What do you have to feed her master? Is she just a child?" Fridge asked with curiosity.

"She isn't a child and I am not actually going to feed her...you know what? You don't need to know this, why don't you go see what my little girl is doing with her little snow kitten, maybe you can make friends?"

"Fine master, but I want to hear the rest of the story when you get back from feeding her!" Fridge said as he jumped off my shoulder and then splatted to the ground. 

The snow all reformed into the three little balls and rolled over to where Kyla was playing with her kitten. The second Fridge reformed into a snowman, Snowy attacked him and knocked his two balls off, and started to chew on him. Fridge only complained about the cat not playing fair, so I left him to be a chew toy, not like I could bring him with me after, hehe!

I walked over to the last person I needed to say goodbye to, Addel. This woman had been avoiding me like the plague since we slept together. I was starting to think that I have done something wrong, but it was her that snuck into my room that night. 

I know we did things for the wrong reason, but I didn't think it was that bad. The other woman just told me she needed time, but I didn't understand what she needed the time for. So, seeing her here now, and ready to talk to me felt good, I really hoped I could find out what has been keeping her from being at my side.

"Hey, babe, long time no see."

"I know that I have been being unreasonable, and I have been being selfish, but I wanted to enjoy this pregnancy."

"Really? That's it? Hmm, I have a question then. Do you want to keep your magic? I think that will stop you from evolving."

"Yes please, I wasn't meant for these games, you know that, and now that I'm pregnant. I really just want to enjoy the time, since I never got to in the real world."

I took her hand with my left and to the magic, but something came with it.

'Oof! How did I get in here?' -Female voice.

'Eek!' -Eva.

Oh, you have got to be kidding!
