DILEMMAS UNTOLD

It took quite a while for us to totally heal Lilith like...months, and we didn't know why or what caused the explosion, we just decided to care for her more.

My mom on the other hand, decided to create a new martial art of her own, fusing everything she'd learned from other martial arts into one deadly, effective, efficient and powerful one which she named Mpuan ni kinyorbaan, which meant; unity is strength, in Konkomba, the language of the native tribe of her best friend.

She also began teaching it to several people, with it being noted as the first official Ghanaian martial art, but most people came to her classes just to see the beauty that had come out of her hiding place, even though she was married and twice all their ages.

The triplets also were improving fast, Ricky for one, found out gravity wasn't a real force, yet he had total power over it, he then figured out that he could actually manipulate various manifestations of mechanical energy, not just ' forces ' which meant he could control energy of all sorts, control false forces like the Coriolis force and even invent his own forces and forms of energy.

Nicky was learning not only Chromosapien skills and sub skills, but also Anti Chromosapien ones and even Teleporter ones from her parents.

Micky actually schooled me on how to make an Ironman transformation into my Monster Hunter uniform and other clothes by hydroteleporting sections of my desired clothes and placing them carefully onto the right side of my body.

This skill took practice and I ended up making a huge tear in my first uniform...so as the fifth, but after that, I got the hang of it and was able to impress little kids with a wink, right before taking to the skies.

He also learned how to control anti water on his own and how to make all sorts of illusions like normal Illusions, Hyper Illusions, Ice Iridescence, Memory Lane, Aqua Orchestra and Dream Catching (which was where one displayed their dreams while in sleep) on his own.

Catherine had also stopped being a Tomboy and started acting more like, well...a girl.

She said she was doing it for Titus but whenever asked, he'd say he actually preferred her in any way she was comfortable, not in the way to impress himself.

Alex on the other hand, seemed in a dilemma and guilty of something and when I asked him...

"I cheated on Phyllis."He said.

"Wait, what?!"I yelled.

"I'm sorry, I was just drunk and there was these women who had been eyeing me ever since I entered into the bar."He explained.

"So you slept with them?"I asked.

"And got one pregnant."He said, ashamed.

I looked at him, surprised. If he hadn't added the last part, he could have told the shallow gold-digger of a woman, but now he was expecting a child with some woman he didn't know, I said,"You can't let her know."

He looked at me with puppy dog eyes then asked,"What?"

"She'll break up with you, why were you in that bar alone anyway?"I asked.

"I don't know, I was just bored and wanted to do something dumb, well, I'm satisfied now, and puking."

"Just don't tell her, or anyone else and no one will know, except Lilith, and Jessica...and Alek, maybe Maame and Apollo and..."

"Okay, okay, I get it... she's calling me, I've gotta go."

I tapped his back then whispered,"Don't tell her."

He nodded then vanished.

Alex was thrown onto a couch and Phyllis climbed over him then kissed him on the lips.

He tried to play along but he couldn't.

He pulled back then got up and she asked,"Is anything wrong?"

He said without looking at her,"I cheated on you Phyllis, and am expecting a baby."

She gasped then said,"I cheated on you in the Space between spaces."

"Wait, what?"He asked.

"I know, I know, but the guy was just really rich and promised me the world should I sleep with him...and he was a Teleporter."

"Don't tell me it was Curtis."

"You mean your brother in law? Oh no, this guy was an Arab, but I'm sorry."

He walked closer to her then cupped her cheeks and said,"I'll only forgive you if you forgive me."

She bent closer to kiss him then he gently lifted her up and placed her on the bed and got up then began unbuttoning his shirt as she breathed heavily, then he came closer and kissed her but she pulled back and said sadly,"You can't be with me, I'm a bad girl and you're a good boy."

He smirked then said,"I was worse."

Then he kissed her passionately on the neck...

***

Nicky slapped a mosquito that landed on her cheek and reversed time on one so it flew back onto her thigh, then she slapped it.

She waved a swarm over her head while yelling,"Buzz off you bug eyed boulder brains!"

She was about to literally disintegrate them with her light when Curtis said from behind her,"Woah ,woah, woah, Nicky, why don't you just control the minds of the flies instead of torturing them in another dimension?"

"I control dimensions dad, I don't talk to bugs."She said, angrily.

He realized something then sat besides her and asked,"Sweet pea, is anything the matter?"

"No, does it seem that way?"

"By the way you're answering, I'm guessing, yeah."He said.

She sighed then said,"It's personal."

He smiled then kissed her forehead and said,"Then just know that I'll be here anytime you want to talk about it."

He then walked away and she looked back, rolled her eyes then spoke telepathically to the flies in the fourth dimension, telling them to buzz off and they did.

***

Apollo woke up to see Maame wasn't on the bed.

He sensed her in the bathtub with her tail and went to her.

He knew she never got up first without planting a kiss on his face, waking him up in the process, so something was different.

He hydroteleported to her then squatted on the floor besides her, but she seemed not to have realized his presence.

He kissed her on the lips then she gasped slightly and when she saw him, she looked away shyly.

He asked what was wrong but she said it was nothing and there he knew, something was wrong.

He then walked away and stretched his muscular arms, making swirling currents of water envelope his limbs while changing the clothes he wore and in a few seconds, he was in his towel.

He went to sit in the tub with her and she wanted to get out but he held her arm then begged her to stay and talk to him.

She sighed then said,"I'm pregnant."

He gasped then asked,"Really?! That's all?"

"You don't get it, I'm a mermaid, I give lay at least ten thousand eggs, at once, we'll never be able to take care of all of them."

He cupped her cheek then said,"I wanted to have children with you, for us to spend the rest of our lives together, that's why I married you, we'll find a way, if you want to abort, you want me to imagine the number to be lower or you want to give birth to all of them, it's your call, and I'll be willing to answer."

He then kissed her gently on the lips and got up.
