Harmonizer's Evolution (Balancer's Soul cycle) (3 page)

The world of
the
three immortal races.

Connor
smiled when remembering
his grandfather
speaking to
his
sixty million year old brother
,
Sorono. It was a rarity for both of them.
I
t proved that mortals and immortals could coexist peacefully
, under the right circumstances
.

He
continued
reminiscing
until
he
silently chuckled.

Sarah stirred and slowly pushed herself onto
his
outstretched arm. Her emerald green eyes opened and began sparkling in t
he darkness. She couldn’t see him
as clearly in the darkness as
he
could see her. She
yawned and placed a hand over his
sternum. “You’re feeling happy. What are you thinking about?”

Connor’s
right hand slid behind
his
head to increase
his
own
comfort. “About yesterday. I’ve finally gotten the answers to my life and it
only
took about twenty years
to get it out of them.” He
chuckled lightly. “Things are finally falling into place
, properly
. I’ve fina
lly gotten my mom to speak on
the topic about how she found me and
I
finally understood that look she
always
gave me when I
’d ask about my father. I never in my wildest dreams
expect
ed that
I didn’t have one. Well
,
not in the conventional sense.”

Sarah smiled and her beauty encompass
ed everything
. “Does it hurt or help to know what you do now. Would you still wish for ignorance once again?”

“No. I would always like the truth, even if is detrimental.” A strange look passed before her eyes, but it seemed happy
,
oddly enough.
His
senses were set off because she wasn’t talking about yesterday.
“Now tell me what is on
your
mind. You have a strange look and our bond is telling me you
’
r
e
hiding some kind of
secretive
happiness.”

Sarah reached into
his
mind and
he
allowed her full access. Her mind is as distinctive as one’s personality
or looks. Her mental tone was soft and loving.
“I’ve just been thinking about a few things.”
He
silently and patiently waited for her to continue.
“For once I’ve figured something out before you have and I’m waiting to see your expression. Let’s just say we will be under more stress than we’ve previously guessed.”
She smiled so beautifully and it
became
too difficult to understand where her thoughts were leading.

“I’m stumped, Princess. Can you give me more of a hint?”

Sarah’s rosy lips smiled even brighter.
“I guess I could since you asked so nicely.”
She raised herself up into a sitting position on the bed, with her
legs crossed in front of her. He
too sat up and mirrored her seating arrangement.
“Back during the Mélange meeting,”
She began with so
he
could follow her thoughts, but she wa
lled up some information from him
.
“we were in
our room…the first room we were given
. It was before the dances and
your disruption during the meeting. W
e had just finished being…intimate. Our minds were linked together and we were doing something that we haven’t done recently. I
recently
noticed a change
from
back then that you might have missed…”

“We were…”
Connor
looked at the ceiling as
he tried to
recall wha
t she was talking about. Then his eyes widened when he
figured out what she wa
s getting at.
His
eyes dropped from
her face for only a moment.
He
looked down from Sarah’s face and towards her lower abdomen.
Connor
brought
his
power forth and began using sonar. Sarah didn’
t jump when she saw
his
eyes begi
n
to
glow.
His
normal
, colored
vision became
completely
black and white, but
in return he
could see everything around
him all at one time
.
The background didn’t matter
because
the
immediate
focus
had
turned towards Sarah.

H
e
focus
ed
only on one place, Sarah’s womb.

It to
ok a moment to understand what he
just saw and it made
his
smile grow.

His
excitement couldn’t be contained.
Connor
instantly jumped up and scooped Sarah into
his arms. She began giggling as he
twirled
her
in circles on the mattress. His laughter was genuine and his
joy raised to a
whole
new level.

“Sarah, we’re going to have
twins
!”

He
grinned and she grinned back
even more
. She easily adjusted herself from a cradling hold
and
into an intimate hug
. She wrapped her arms around his
neck as he
wrapped them around her
lower
ba
ck. She looked up and her twinkling
green
eyes were joyous. “I know! I
only
figured it out last night.
It’s been bothering me this whole time.
They were so close together that we couldn’t see them properly
. They looked like a blur
, being so close together
, but that was because they are actually twins.
One was hidden behind the other.
”

He
couldn’t stop
him
self from kissing her and she
kissed
him
back
just as passionately. Her scent of apples and strawberries made the kiss that much more amazing.
They only drew away when they
had to come back
up
for air. Then they
kissed some more.

After
they
finally laid down in bed again she aske
d “Back at the meeting, the baby’s
shape looked slightly off. What does it look like now?”

They
have a better way of sharing information than talking.
Connor
sent her the mental image
he just
saw
moments ago
.
Their
children
no longer looked like spherical eggs
or a
n
oddly shaped manatee
, but
more
like a deformed
,
hairless rodent. There were tiny bones making a skeletal structure and the head has begun to form a skull. The most promising proof of their health was that they each had a heartbeat and they were strong. They looked like the fetus of a baby that was about
eight
to
thirteen
weeks old.

Tears began spilling across Sarah’s cheeks, but before
he
co
uld comfort her she spoke. “Those are
our babies. They look so healthy.” She closed her eyes so she could continue to look at the mental images that
he continued
sending her. “They will both be
so
very
beautiful…” Then her eyes shot wide open. “Great! Just
Freaking
Great!”

She sat up quickly and
rubbed the small bump th
at barely showed on her belly. Connor
sat up and she had a disgruntled
expression dominating her
face. He
could
only
tell s
he wasn’t upset about the twins
. “Sarah, what is going on?”

He
touched the side of her face and she instinctively leaned in for more of
the
touch, but she realized
what she did and jerked away. He
pulled
his
arm back.
What did I do wrong?
Her green eyes narrowed on him
soon after
hearing
his interna
l thought
. “This is going to be
all
your fault!”

“What is?”

She pointed to her belly. “Not only are your children going to be
big
,
but since I’m
now
carrying twins…” S
he shook her head while biting her bottom lip. “I’m going to be
huge
!
” Sarah finally looked down at her stomach. “You hear that girls, Daddy is going to turn your Mother into a beach ball.
” She sighed and looked at him
. She finally smiled.
“It will be worth it
though
.”

Connor
sighed in relief. “I thought something happened to you.” Befor
e falling back down on the bed he
saw that the outside
world
was beginning to brighten.

Sarah crawled over to him
and changed how s
he sat. She tossed a leg over him
and sat
directly
on
his
stomach. She
felt
as light as a feather. “Can I
tell you an interesting fact?” He
smiled and nodded while rubbing her
soft and
luscious legs. “In the entire h
istory of Balancer’s, only seven
women have ever given birth
to twins…well I’ll be the eighth
actually.” At a stray thought
a smile cross
ed
his
lips and Sarah caught it, now that she could see better. “What was that for?”

“I
just
wonder
ed
what Jillian will have to say?”

Sarah became completely still at hearing this.
He
entered her frantic mind as she guessed what her mother would do when she heard
the news
. Every scenario she came up with made her mother act the same way. Then she thought about her father and he acted the same way. Then
came thoughts of
Kara…

Sarah stopped thinking when Connor’s
laughter broke her c
oncentrating. She then joined him
in a laugh. Sarah then leaned down and kissed
him tenderly
. She pulled her head back by only an inch as she said seductively “We’ll see their reactions soon enough. Now what can we do to pass the time…?” She then slowly began leaning closer and
their
lips began to brush each other.

The mood was disturbed by someone knocking on the front door.
Sarah’s
head dropped lifelessly onto his
chest. “W
hy now of all times?
” She whispered
in annoyance
. She then sat back up and shouted “We’ll be there in a
minute!” Sarah then looked at him
and rolled her eyes.

She lifted herself off
hi
s form
and walked
over
to her dresser. She took his
shirt off and
became
fully dressed in fresh clothes within three or four seconds.
She quickly brushed her
waist length
brown hair to make herself somewhat presentable.
He
took the hint as sh
e walked through the door of their
room and walked down
the hallway to the front door. Connor
quickly slid
his
black pants on within a second
and strung his
belt at the same speed.
