Feedback: YES PLEASE! (keeps my muses happy)
Archiving: If you like them take them. Just tell me thanks.
I look out of the window and smile at the sight that meets my eyes.
For there in the backyard are my two grandchildren
with their parents playing in the rain. I can remember a time
when I thought I wouldn't see such a sight. After my son, John had
vanished along with Farscape One........Then after about five
years a miracle happened! Farscape One was back and John
wasn't alone. he had brought a friend, her name, Aeryn Sun.
That was fives years ago. And what has happened since I wouldn‘t
have missed for the world. I've seen Aeryn grow and change in ways
I can't believe. Sometimes I forget that Aeryn is an alien. The fact
she can speak, read and write english helps alot. That was John's
doing or so I've been told. He even said he had to force her to learn
at times. I still can't see John forcing Aeryn do to anything, not after
some of their stories anyway. But they do love each other, very much.
I think that's why Aeryn came with John and she doesn‘t have a home
as such to speak of. Not what I'd call a home.
They argue sometimes. What married couple doesn‘t? I can remember
having some real dozzies normally to do with a mission or John.
When they argue Aeryn reverts to speaking sebsean, her native language.
It's interesting to watch trying to guess what they are arguing about.
The first time that happened when the rest of the extended Crchtion family
were here, at the wedding no less! They all wondered what was happening
so I said that John had married a foreign girl. They seemed to accept that.
They just have no idea just how foreign Aeryn is. The only people that
know apart from IASA are myself and DK. I don't mind the fact that my
son has married and alien. I am the only man with an alien daughter in law
and two half alien grandchildren.
Playing in the rain! They'll be in soon, soaked to the skin. That's one thing
Aeryn has never got tired of is rain and snow come to that. She holds her
new home in awe even after five years. She still reminds us how primitive
we are once in a while but John and I don't mind. Aeryn is happy here in
her home and doesn‘t bother to hide it. I'm happy too. I have family here.
John, Aeryn and their children. After ten years I have family again.
What more could a Father want than to have his family at hand.
Here they come time to get the towels.
Title: Family: John
I can't believe I'm out here in the rain! But then the three kids are having
fun. Yes, Aeryn is like a big kid still. I'd do almost anything to keep
her happy and just to see her smile. After what we've been through I'm
just glad Aeryn is here with me. I can't see myself here without her,
that much is certain. I love her and I want to keep her with me.
When we got back everyone was surprised to see Aeryn.
And when I said she was an alien that had every one.
I wont forget the moment when I said casually as I could
that Aeryn was going to have our baby. I think that brought
all of IASA to a stop. As things turned out it was twins!
A boy and a girl. Dad was pleased as he finally had
grandkids to spoil rotten. And I'm happy to as I can't
think of anyone else who I would want as their mother.
The kids start school soon so that's going to be interesting.
I wonder how Aeryn will go at our first parent teacher night?
The kids have already made friends round about and know
not to say anything about their mother being an alien.
We've never told them anything. They just know that
their mom is different somehow.
Time to go inside. I'm soaked through! But I don't
mind the smile I see on Aeryn's face is worth getting
wet for. I have my family round me so that's all I want.
Dad, DK, Aeryn and the kids. That's my family now.
I hope Dad has the towels handy!
Title: Family: Aeryn
It's raining and we're out in it! I know John's not keen on being
out here but he is all the same. I smile at him and he smiles back.
I love him, really I do. John can be so frustrating at times so can
Jack and DK. But they are my family now and earth is my home.
When I met John all those years ago I didn't know what to think
of him. But when he insisted that I came with him and D'Argo,
my life changed for the better, in the end. But it was a hard road
and John was always there for me. Why I'm not sure. Maybe
because I look human? Who can say. But somewhere along
the way we fell in love and I never looked back.
Once I thought I was here on earth but now I am on earth and
I don't want to leave. So earth is not that technically advanced
but it is a beautiful planet. It's my home and I love it.
IASA has retrieved my prowler from the moon. Where we
left it as we thought it safer to arrive in John's ship.
So maybe there are some good things to come.
I look at our children. They are a product of our love.
When I told John I was going to his baby he was thrilled.
And soon after as luck would have it we found earth!
John and I made the decision to come here as Moya was
no real place to raise a family. So we left Moya, everyone
was sad to see us go but knew we wouldn't be happy if
we stayed. So my family is here with me. my husband
and my children. My father in law and my husband's best
friend. All one big family.
We head for the house as we are all soaked to the skin but
I like rain. I look at John and the look on his face is one
of deep love. I'm smiling, I know it. John always likes it
when I smile. I see the sparkle in his eyes that tells me
he doesn‘t mind being wet because he got to see me smile.
I kiss him as we go inside.

I watch the Colonel looking outside, the smile I see tells me he's happy.
And why wouldn't he be? John is back larger than life or so it seems.
And there is Aeryn, wow what a woman. She is hard to describe but she
is John's wife. And she don't take carp from no one, well ok maybe John,
myself and the Colonel but on one else. She was down at the mall the
other day and this guy was hitting on her. God knows why! You can tell
she's taken she's got a wedding ring on! John doesn‘t say a word but lets
Aeryn do her thing. She walks up to this guy looks him right in the eye
and then drops him with a Paka Jab! Man that was sooo funny.
The Colonel and I couldn't believe it when Farscape One showed up.
The bigger shock was when they landed. I say they as John wasn't alone
he had a ladyfriend in tow by the name of Aeryn Sun, an alien too!
That was a real shock I can tell you. But what the hey after five years
I was just glad to see my best buddy. And the stories, it made Star Trek
look tame! But were they through with the surprises, oh no there was one
more. Aeryn was going to have a baby! So now I'm Uncle DK!
They are just two little miracles those kids. The Colonel and I spoil them
both rotten, much to the distain of their parents. But that's what Uncle's
and Grandad's are for right? I'm sure they know what their mon says when
she speaks her native language, which is rare. At lest they seem to know
what she says. I think it's cool that John and Aeryn have something special
like that between them as John knows what Aeryn is saying and we don't.
I look passed the Colonel. Are they playing in the rain again? There are
going to be four big drips come in, soon. But I sure as hell wouldn't
trade this for anything in the world. I have my best buddy back along
with his family. Family, when I think about, these people are my family.
The Colonel, John, Aeryn and their kids. I've known the Colonel and
John as long as I can remember. Aeryn, she just seemed to fit right in.
As for the little tikes, well they grow on you after a bit, like all kids.
I like this, family all back together.
