Freya's Gift

Chapter 29: Deathe comes a Walking

Friday 23 Oct

Another two weeks have passed and the only battles have been minor skirmishes, only needing two of us at the most.
Without saying it, the others are being as protective as possible about Lauren and I. 14 weeks pregnant for me and Lauren
is 12 weeks, Laurens bump shows now and mine is plainly obvious to anyone to see. Started using the phone app to keep up
with changing needs for clothes.

This weekend we have the Bowtween Seasons benefit shoot down in Eagle Point, Oregon, also for the weekend is another
photo shoot for Victoria's Secret. More important is Bruce's wedding to Jolene on Sunday after awards presentations. We
still have had no word from or about Gloria's father. We all fear the worst and believe he has been killed.

Before heading for bed, we make sure all is loaded and ready for our trip in the morning. The same film crew will meet us
at the registration area of the shoot. And because of our bumps, V.S. wants to play with that in this shoot, only this
time, we'll have to change clothes throughout the two days of the shoot.

Our lovemaking that night was very tender, Jimmy paid lots of attention to our bumps, kissing and talking softly to the
babies. There is something so amazing and sexy about a man who can be so caring and compassionate to his pregnant wife.
Lauren and I had noticed that as our pregnancies have progressed, our bodies have become more... heightened, is the right
word I think, to stimulation. My nipples alone were so sensitive, that very little play brought me to orgasm. And as to
sensitive, one light touch to my clit was all I needed to send waves of ecstasy crashing over my body. Lauren was as
sensative as I was too.

***********************************************

In the morning, we were up early and ready to go. After breakfast, all of us loaded into Austin's truck, Gilbert guided
us to a safe porting site and we jumped to there.

Katie teases and asks, "If we can magic a new truck for Austin, why am I driving that piece of crap my dad got for me.
I'd really like a new Mustang, how about it? Huh?"

"Katie, I know how long you've wanted a Mustang, so when we get home from the shoot, we'll get you one, okay?" I said to
her.

"Really aunt Freya? I was only teasing, but if you say it's ok, then I'll happily agree. We should give the old hybrid to
Maryanne, the lease is coming due just after the first of February."

Lauren adds, "That's a good idea Katie, we can port the car back to your parents house and leave the keys with Michael,
and he can give them to your dad. Then he can decide what to do with it. Does Maryanne have her licence already?"

"Yes, but she only gets to drive with dad or grandpa. So having the car back will solve two issues for her. Plus, she
likes it more than I ever did."

We pull into the field for the shoot and park. Getting ready to head for registration, people we've known from the other
shoots wave hello and comment on our attire, asking if we're doing another 'shoot' for Victoria's Secret. We tell them we
are and many say they had seen the ads from the last time and felt it really did a lot of positive PR for our mutual
sport. We thank them as we had to sign-in and say we'll see them on the field.

After that, we find the film crew has expanded to include some people from Bowtech, not realizing that Helen had sent
them at the last minute. But as this was a benefit event, we were happy to oblige. The head of the Bowtech crew said that
Helen and Richard would be here for closing ceremonies on Sunday. We all looked forward to seeing them tomorrow.

The VS crew had extra people to carry the changes of clothes and a fold up changing booth made from cardboard. Making it
very convenient for us, so Jimmy had no need to haul anything around except for our waters and snacks.

***********************************************

The shoot went as the past ones had and by the end of the day, the leader board had Bruce, Austin, Katie and myself at
the top. The one notable exception was a new person, no one knew anything about, a walk in that had signed up this
morning. We never even saw him at any point of the day, but people said he wore all black and his attitude matched his
clothes.

We spent the shoot with Bruce and Jolene, along with Dave and Nate. We ladies made plans to treat the bride and her maids
of honor to a bachelorette party, while Jimmy and Austin took Bruce and the boys out.

Before we took Jolene and her friends to dinner and then partying, Lauren and I came up with some things to give her from
Victoria's Secret. One thing we did was have her included in Sundays fashion show with us on the VS shoot. The other was
intimate apparel for the wedding night.

Jolene and her friends were not big on drinking, but that was fine with us, so we kept it to juice concoctions with
umbrellas for everyone. During the night Jolene kept asking about how our pregnancies were going and how the babies were.

Jolene says, "Freya? What does it feel like? Carrying the babies?" She seemed so into Lauren and I.

I said, "Well, they move around a lot for only 14 weeks, I love how they make we feel. Lauren and I are never sick at
all. Would you like to feel them kick? Here, just put your hands on my tummy and talk to them. They always move to their
names."

Jolene looks in wonder, "You've already decided on names? It's still early, isn't it? And are you sure of the sexes?"

Lauren and I share a smile, then Lauren says, "We have it on the highest authority that we are each having a boy and a
girl. Plus, when we started on names, they just fell into place for us."

Jolene asks, "So, what are their names to be?"

I say, " My girl is Kira Nerys Blake and the boy is Miles-Edward Obrian Blake. In short, Kira and Eddie."

Lauren says "And mine are Annika Hansen Blake and the boy, Thomas Paris Blake. Annie and Tommy for short."

Jolene gasps, "You guys like Star Trek? I thought I was the only woman around that like those shows. Those are great
names." She leans forward and rubs my bump and speaks "Hello Kira and Eddie, I can't wait to meet you face to face." Then
the twins put on a good show for her, moving a lot. "They really heard me, wow, that's so wonderful." Then Jolene looks a
little down.

Lauren and I ask, "What's the matter Jolene? Why do you look so down?"

She starts to cry and explains, "I love babies so much, you two are so lucky. I'm just afraid that I'll never have my
own, unless we adopt." Wiping her tears she continues, "Bruce is willing to adopt, but I know he'd love to have his own
children. But I don't think I can conceive. I had a bad illness when I was a little girl, and the doctors said because of
that fever, I'd probably never have a child." Now crying into my shoulder.

Lauren says, "Doctors can never be 100% sure in those situations, so if I was you, I'd just forget about it and just
enjoy yourself with Bruce. Cause you never know what miracles can happen."

Jolene raises her head, "You really think so? Oh, I hope so!"

I say, "Jolene, if you believe in it enough, it will happen." With those words, Lauren and I who are holding Jolene, push
the magic of healing and fertility into her slowly, so no one will notice.

She comes up and says, "Thank you for caring so much. You are such good friends, it's hard to believe I've only known you
both for so short a while."

Lauren just says, "A stranger is just a friend that you haven't met yet, at least that is what Will Rogers used to say.
And he had a good point."

The rest of the night was pleasant with all the girls together, but soon it was time to head to our hotel, or home for
us.

Back at home, it turns out the boys had a very mild time of their own. But Jimmy and Austin refused to tell us the
details.

***********************************************

Sunday was mostly a repeat of the day before. Although we did try to keep a look out for the mystery man in black, but we
never got more than a glimpse of his back, even with our enhanced sight. The only thing that was clear, was his aura was
stained in greys and blacks and a hint of burning red. Whoever this man was, he was very angry about something.

At the end of the day Bruce and the mystery man were tied with perfect scores including x's. When they called for him,
his name was Walker Deathe, he was not to be found. The officials ruled that since he was gone, to name Bruce as male
champion. Katie and I won our classes as well, making the three of us co-grand champions of the shoot.

As soon as the presentations were complete, Bruce took the microphone and announced that everyone was invited to the
wedding to follow in a short time. The only time needed was to create an aisle with ribbons for the bride to walk down to
the stage. Bruce had arranged with one of the local club members to preside over the ceremony, who being a minister was
happy to bless their union.

Lauren, Katie and I got Jolene and her bridesmaids dressed in Victoria Secrets clothing similar to what we had worn
through the past two days, and then joined the rest of the audience assembled before the stage.

As Jolene walked down the aisle, wearing a long white Georgette Halter babydoll. Bruce stood stunned right until Jolene
took her place at his side, the whole ceremony, his eyes were fixed on hers. Through the ceremony, Jimmy held Lauren's
and my hands and we said the words as Bruce and Jolene did. When the minister pronounced them man and wife, Bruce kissed
Jolene long and hard. When they broke from that kiss, it was plain to all, that the only thing either of them wanted was
to begin their honeymoon.

The local club had allowed the use of their hall and those that stayed had a great time. After all the fanfare had cooled
down, Helen and Richard found us in the hall with the wedding party. After they were introduced to the new married
couple, Helen and Richard offered their best wishes to them. They congratulated us on our shoot performance and teased
Bruce with offers for sponsorship. Bruce thanked them for their kind offer, but said that Mathews had always been good to
him and would stay there, unless something unexpected happened. Richard said, the offer was open anytime he chose to
change brands.

Bruce and Jolene were going to Cancún for their honeymoon, straight from the hotel to the airport in the morning. Their
flight was out of Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport about 10 miles south of Eagle Point. We wished them best of
times and said to call with any news, and made both of them promise to do so. And we wanted to see plenty of pictures on
FB. We kissed and hugged all around, I made sure to push more magic into both of them in doing so. With that they were
off to start their nuptials.

We headed home to a well earned night of rest before taking up the regular days events to follow.

***********************************************

Monday 26 October

We woke to a wonderful morning, I stretched, then hugged and kissed each of my partners. Rubbing Lauren's bump and
getting mine rubbed by Jimmy and Lauren. To think, a little over three months ago, I was an aging man. Now, it was hard
to conceive that I had ever been other than I was now. Would I change back given the chance? HELL NO! I loved my life as
it was, and once our children were born, it could only get better.

After a short soak in the bath, we made our way to make breakfast. While I made bowls, and Lauren made tea, Jimmy set the
counter for us to eat. As we sat down, Jimmy started to chuckle over something he was thinking about.

Lauren and I looked at him as if to ask, when he volunteered, "I was just thinking about Saturday night out with Bruce
and the boys."

Lauren asks, "And what happened? Strippers? Poker? Bar?"

Jimmy smiles, "No, nothing like that. We did about the same as you girls did, you know, dinner at a restaurnt and just
talking about things. Marriage and children."

I ask, "What kind of things?" Wondering if we knew where he was headed with this.

"Well, Bruce was asked what it was like to be an expectant father. Then he confided after a little prodding, that Jolene
had told him that she couldn't have children, and that they would probably adopt, when the time was right."

We admitted that Jolene had told us the same thing. And told him our idea to help them along by wanting to heal Jolene.

Jimmy says, "Austin and I thought the same, so we put a little magic on Bruce to be more potent. Hoping it would get past
any problems that Jolene might have." Lauren and I shared a look of scared wonder, "What's the matter? Did we do wrong
helping them?"

We shake our heads, "No, you did the right thing. Only, Lauren and I did the same for Jolene." We all start to laugh as
Katie and Austin came down stairs, wondering what we are laughing about.

Jimmy says to Austin, "You remember what we did for Bruce? Well, Freya and Lauren did the same for Jolene." Katie and
Austin suddenly realizes the extent of the situation and start laughing too.

I say, "Between Jolene's fertility and Bruce's potency," breaking up in fits again, "She was probably pregnant just
standing beside him. We owe them such a good baby present after this."

After calming down, the kids eat as we finish getting ready for the day.

Then I have everyone follow me out to the garage, and we stand around Katie's car, hands on the roof. We call for Gilbert
to find out if the driveway was clear back at my sister's house. When it was, we ported the car to the house and Gilbert
would give the keys to Michael.

That done, we join hands. I say to the others, "Think only about giving me the magic. I have an idea. Katie, you also
think of the color you want and the interior. Now, on the count of three. 1... 2... 3."

Beside us, in Katie's spot in the garage, a car appeared. Not just any car either. But a 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R,
blue with charcoal rally stripes and aero package. Katie, opens the door and looks in, the keys are in the ignition, the
keychain reads 'Katie's Pony'. She sits in the form fitted seat, feeling the way the seat seemed to mold to her body.
Austin sits in the passenger side and admires the dash.

The dash looks very plain at first, until Katie turns the key. Then the dash looked like it had come off the USS
Enterprise NCC 1701-E. Touch screen interactive controls. The only normal thing is the steering wheel and foot pedals.
All of them gaze in awe of what we had done.

Austin is first to react, "What did you do? This thing looks like it came from the 24th century."

I smiled, "Well, not really, the touch screens are current tech, mostly because of the show. But the real tech is under
the hood." I ask Katie to pop the hood and we all meet at the front of the car. When Jimmy raises the hood, their eyes
are nearly popping out of their heads. What they see is a matter/anti-matter reactor with a dilithium regulated reaction,
powering Tesla inspired electric motors at each corner of the car.

In stunned wonder, Katie asks, "I'm not sure what I'm looking at, could somebody explain it to me? Please."

Jimmy smiles, "Well, if what I think is correct, basically it's an all electric car with a battery that never needs to be
charged. Am I right Freya?"

I answer, "You are correct. The power available to the motor will make the car equal in performance of the best supercars
on the planet, as well as passive restraint systems, active and passive shields, and even phaser based weapons. And to
keep it from falling into the wrong hands, the car will only allow our family to enter without being stunned and
restrained until one of us releases them."

Katie asks, "Just how fast is this thing going to be? And are the brakes going to be able to stop it?"

"Well, top speed should be around 300mph, 0-60 in under 2 seconds. Braking is generated by the motors at all four wheels
that drive the car, all done electronically. On top of that, a field is generated inside the car to minimize the feeling
of acceleration and braking. In other words, it's basically a shuttlecraft with a Mustang body."

Lauren smiles, "We should do this to all our cars. No more stopping for gas in the rain. And the only expense will be the
tires."

Jimmy says, "Great idea, let's do it."

I just smile and say, "And who says macic and science don't work together?"

Lauren adds, "One persons technology is anothers persons magic."

***********************************************

While we were all at work or school, Lauren used her time in her office to check and see if either the Victoria's Secret
filming crew or the Bowtech crew had caught the mysterious Walker Deathe on camera. After many hours going over the raw
footage that had been shot, a curious anomaly was found. In some frames, an image was blurred, enough that all that
appeared was a black / grey blob. Even on film, this man had a sense of evil, to those with altered sight.

This week many sightings were reported that we checked on. After dealing with each incident, checking with the locals of
the area, the mysterious man had been seen, but no one could describe him to us. Clearly the work of one of Loki's
lieutenant's, and given how close he came to us during the shoot, they were trying to pass on the message that they knew
who we were.
