Chapter 57 Now That Things Are Settled

"No, you bozo! I want to go flying with you! It looked like a lot of fun, but Vic didn't look like she enjoyed it, but I will! And we can go really fast if you want! I just want to fly through the trees!" Melody exclaimed.

"I would like to have a turn after!" Katie called.

"Me too, Papi! But I want to fly with you!" Called Sofia.

Gaia and Marley also looked excited, but Amy didn't look too interested.

​ "Sure, but I need a good soak first. I went through a bit of a change, and I think that I need a recharge. How are you all feeling after the trees started growing?" I asked, and I walked through the girls, and they followed me up the stairs.

"I feel content and relaxed now, but I think that is because you know that everyone is mostly safe now, right? I also feel much closer to you now, if that makes any sense?" Melody asked as most of the girls save Gaia and Melody headed in separate directions.

"I feel the same way. It's like I can look at you and feel how much you care about me, even though we just met, and it makes me feel warm inside," Gaia said with a smile as the three of us headed up to the Rejuvenation bath.

"I am glad that you both feel that way," I said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Gaia. Daniel had always been this way. I don't know if he thinks too much or not enough, but he is swift at deciding how he feels about people. Most people dwell in things for days, but I am pretty sure that Daniel only thinks about things to the absolute minimum," Melody laughed, and I narrowed my eyes as we reached the bath.

"What is wrong with that? When have I ever been a bad judge of character or made a rash decision without knowing all the consequences?" I asked, and Melody shrugged with a smile.

"Not saying it's a bad thing, but you aren't the type to beat around the bush, that's all! You have been hanging around Vicky too much, and now she has got you one guard! I should go have a talk with that girl one of these days!" Melody demanded as she and Gaia stripped down with me.

"No, just leave her alone. I like her just the way that she is right now. We had a good long talk and made some real progress, so just leave her be," I explained, and Melody signed.

"I guess that is good, but it always irritates me that she treated you like that, even if I am friends with her! Still, you seem to like her whirlwind attitude for some unknown reason, probably Stockholm Syndrome or something. I will leave her be," Melody said and then got into the water.

I sighed, and Gaia shrugged, but we got into the water with Melody. Her large breasts were floating in the water, and I glided over to kiss her, then sat beside her.

I motioned for Gaia to come to sit on my other side, and I wrapped my arms around each of the girls, pulling them into me. I leaned back, closing my eyes and relaxing, a beautiful woman on each side of me.

"So, now that you have saved everyone in the city, what is your next big plan?" Melody asked as she rested her head on my shoulder; Gaia did the same, copying her.

"Well, I would like to get Orphus out of my head, and then I want to pick his brain. I need to get some more info on the human body. I don't think that he will do as well in a body like I made for Gaia; she grew into it," I explained, still keeping my eyes closed.

"I can share my knowledge with you, and that should help you with creating new life, right?" Gaia asked, and I opened my eyes, looking over at Gaia with a grin.

"You are absolutely right! Where better to get the information from than the Mother of All!" I exclaimed, kissing Gaia's forehead, and she smiled brightly.

"I am glad to be able to help!" Gaia said, cuddling into me more.

This was perfect, and it was something that I would start working on tomorrow morning. Today, I wanted to waste the rest of it with the girls, doing things that they wanted.

We had gotten through many crazy things over the last couple of days, but things were starting to become a new kind of normal. Sure it was nothing like the life that everyone had before, but everyone had a place to sleep and food to eat.

"I think that after this, I am going to try and spend time with the girls that I haven't. Of course, after taking you flying, I also want you to spend the evening and night with me tonight. You have been with your grandparents for the last week, and I missed you," I said, kissing Melody's head, and she purred as she cuddled into me more.

"You can take me flying some other time. Spend time with the other girls now if you are going to take all of my time up tonight," Melody said quietly, and I smiled, leaned back, closing my eyes again.

This quiet was just a prequel to the danger that would be coming in the future, so I would take every chance that I got to enjoy my girls. Times were going to get a lot harder in the future, so I needed to capitalize on the time that I had.

The three of us relaxed in the water, and I enjoyed them both tucked tightly on each side. The next step was to go find Marley, then Katie, and then it would be bedtime or somewhere near there.

I was curious how Marley was going to act with me after the time we had. I hope she wasn't too mad about it, but at the same time, I really hoped that she learned something from it.
