Ch. 51 - The Goddess and the Green Guy

My computer was well and truly fried after sending Jovan's mother on wild ride through space.  I did my best to repair it but if replacing my computer was what it cost to keep her out of the way for the foreseeable future it was worth it.

Jovan had been staying in touch and we had gone out on a few dates when his work schedule allowed.  He had been serious about my space rock collection and had taken three that he couldn't identify into the science lab with him.  As it turned out they were never before seen elements, Jovan and his co-workers were working hard to discover all their properties.

Allia had done well with her pregnancy and gave birth to a beautiful foal we named Baron.

"Congratulations on another strong young steed Sutter my sweet."

Jovan came over to see our new arrival and to share some exciting news after work.

"Aphrodite I got a promotion and a huge pay raise thanks to those space rocks you gave me.  Would you like to go out to dinner with me to celebrate?"

"Of course I will.  You've really worked hard these past few weeks to earn that promotion congratulations Jovan."

"There's something else I wanted to tell you," Jovan said excitedly before leaning in for a kiss that was out of this world.  "I want to try to have a baby with you.  I think that what you are trying to do for those cursed spirits is amazing and I want to help you reach your goal."

After a wonderful dinner at the bistro Jovan and I sat in the garden to stargaze.  

"You never did ask me about your mother," I said surprising him.

"After our last encounter I decided to cut her out of my life completely.  She was my mother only in terms of my genetic makeup.  My real family is in Monte Vista and the wrath of you gods is literally legend.  I thought it was best to know as little as possible."

I laughed remembering how impulsive we were in the old days.  "I'm not nearly as dramatic as I used to be I promise."

"With some help from my daughter I was able to plot a new course for her ship.  She'll be taking a very round about trip back to that home planet of hers."

"Its that little star right there to the left.  Do you think you'll ever want to go there to meet your people despite how she was?"

"No, the Earth is my home and I'm happy exactly where I am."
