“How is dad not Versi then?” Kathrine asked, not quite sure she was used to that word.

“Your dad is umm different,” Sarah explained. “His fangs are really small and he really doesn’t fit in with any type of Asuune I’ve ever known. Probably because of who his dad is. He’s very unique.” Sarah popped her fangs out for effect and Kathrine could see the difference. Her dad’s fangs were a lot smaller than Sarah’s.

Mark looked self-conscious with them talking about his small fangs. Sarah noticed and turned to him.

“Don’t worry, you more than make up for it in other places,” Sarah smiled and Mark blushed.

“Ewww!” Kathrine yelled at once. “I’m seriously gonna need therapy guys.” Kathrine wasn’t actually upset with them, she thought it was cute how good they were together. She just didn’t want mental pictures of them having sex, nor how big her dad’s manhood was.

“I’ll stop,” Sarah relented.

“Before I go I want to talk to you about the daughter incident,” Kathrine smirked. She loved to tease Sarah about anything. She’d never met anyone who could take it so well, it was sort of their thing.

Sarah looked nervously at Mark and Kathrine wasn’t sure if she realized that it was a joke. Then Kathrine had a devious idea. With a little finesse she might be able to turn this to her advantage as well as Sarah’s.

“I was upset, I didn’t mean to say it. It just kinda came out.” Sarah looked like she was asking Mark for forgiveness but he had no idea what they were talking about.

“You see Sarah was yelling at this girl. What exactly did you say Sarah?” Kathrine was enjoying her payback and Sarah would understand the reason behind it shortly.

“I said get your hands off my daughter or something like that,” Sarah mumbled.

“I’m not quite sure he heard you,” Kathrine teased. Teasing Sarah was just too much fun, she wanted to drag this out.

“I heard her,” Mark said, coming to her rescue. “Did that bother you?” Mark asked. He clearly didn’t understand that Kathrine was just teasing Sarah.

“No, it didn’t bother me. You’re missing the point, dad.” Now Sarah looked just as lost as Mark. Kathrine had hoped for some backup but she was on her own.

“Then what was the point?” Mark asked. He was always so calm when he talked to Kathrine. How was she supposed to get upset with him? She loved him dearly but he never seemed to get upset about anything.

“The point is, mom is dead. She’s been dead for seven years.” Tears formed in the corners of Kathrine’s eyes. She still couldn’t help crying a little when she talked about her mom. “You and Sarah, well Sarah is like mom. I’m not saying this well am I?”

“Keep going, honey,” Sarah encouraged, she now completely understood where Kathrine was going with this and she liked it!

Kathrine noticed that Sarah was wearing the necklace that she had given her and still her dad had not asked Sarah to marry him. At least not that Kathrine knew of. She was sure Sarah would have been jumping for joy and told her the second he proposed.

“Well you know how I said you always had two wives?” Kathrine asked.

“Yes, you told me that,” Mark replied.

“Well…I’ve always had two moms.” Kathrine gave a caring smile to Sarah. Sarah’s response was shock but she appreciated what Kathrine was saying. “So…” Kathrine hinted.

“So?” Mark asked.

“Oh geez, dad. Sometimes you’re so dense. But only when it comes to one of your wives. I’m not calling you dumb, you’re not dumb. You are just clueless when it comes to mom and Sarah.” Kathrine was frustrated.

“So what are you saying?” Mark asked.

“I sorta want to call Sarah mom too,” Kathrine said shyly.

“That is a choice for you, honey,” Mark said sincerely. He had no idea what Kathrine was getting at and she was getting more frustrated by the second. Why were men so infuriating?

“Fuck, Dad! Just ask her to marry you already! I want a real family again!” Kathrine yelled exasperated at the utter cluelessness of her father.

Mark was dumbfounded. He turned and looked at Sarah as if he was asking permission. Sarah clasped her hands in front of her and extended her arms. She looked like a child but this expression Mark understood. This was her please expression. Mark reached into his pocket and fumbled around until he pulled out a small black box.

“I was waiting for the right moment…” Mark started

“YES!” Sarah yelled and snatched the ring out of his hand before jumping into his arms. Mark was surprised but caught her. “I’m sorry, did you want to ask me something?” Sarah grinned sitting in Mark’s arms.

“I think you got it,” Mark smiled as he set her back on her feet and gave her a huge hug.

“Finally!” Kathrine exclaimed. “And I’m good with you referring to me as your daughter. I’ll probably call you mom once in a while.”

“Ok, daughter,” Sarah smiled. An airplane could fall from the sky, crushing their house and Sarah would still be grinning ear to ear. It made Kathrine sad and happy at the same time. Her mom was dead but she still had Sarah. Kathrine still had one mom left, she would make damn sure nothing happened to this one!
