“What did you do?” I ask, hoping little Alexander’s okay.
“He’s fine, and so are we, for another decade at least. Unless you’d rather...”
“Oh no! No-no,” I exclaim, letting everyone know it’s a good idea to save that kind of thing until they’re older.
Xander walks me over to the counter, still gripping my behind before he effortlessly lifts me up and sets me down next to the parcel.
He carefully peels the tape and takes out a set of framed images. Stars or gas clouds.
“Space stuff,” he says with mock silliness, setting each one out side by side.
“What are they, new pictures for your office?” I ask.
“For anywhere. But they’re our real legacy, from now on for all time,” he says. Not kidding now.
“What do you mean?” I ask, more than interested.
“These are all new, undiscovered stars in a new, uncharted system,” he remarks casually.
“Oh,” I say, trying to sound interested until he brings one of the images over and I can see the titles under each one.
“This is Gillian Sixteen,” he says, pointing to the brightest, biggest star.
“She’s kinda my favorite,” he smiles sheepishly and I can already feel the tears coming.
“And these two are Alexander Sixteen and Athena Sixteen. All part of the newly classified but largely unnamed Sexton Galaxy.”
“There’s a lot of unnamed stars there,” I point out sniffing back my emotions.
“Well, I figured we could start with the A’s and work our way through. The kids can add to it, naming stars or other aspects after their kids as our family grows, what do ya say?” he asks.
“I think you’re the most amazing thing to happen to me,” I tell him truthfully, kissing him and whispering, “I love you Xander Sixteen.”
“I love you more, Gillian,” he whispers back, letting his affection press into me as he pulls me towards him by my legs.
“And you’re pretty amazing yourself. You sure you don’t need changing?” he asks. “You feel all wet,” he says voice husky, making me gasp as he presses his hand against me.
I give a series of quick nods, letting him know I do.
“Good,” he growls.
“I’ll be quick, then put dinner on while you take a nap.”
“No need to rush,” I gasp, reminding myself to let Xander ‘change’ me more often.
Reminding us both that we have a whole galaxy to fill with names.
A whole family of stars to create.
