The Future

As we stared at my parents standing in front of us, they smiled.

"Huh, can we help you?" Flynn asked with a puzzled look.

"We are the Hanovers and we have come for you all!" the woman said.

"I'm sorry if we have startled you, but we have come in urgency to request that you come with us," the man said with a smile.

"But what do you want of us? Where do you want us to go?" I asked them.

"Darling, we are your parents and we finally have come from the future to get you!" my father said.

"Won't you come to the future with us?" my  mother begged of me, "Flynn, you haven't told her yet?"

"I'm sorry Geraldine and Jeremiah. With the children having come sooner than I expected, I hadn't gotten around to telling her that we would eventually need to leave here and go back to the future," Flynn explained.

"Future? All of us? Including my babies?" I shuddered. I was nervous about going to the future and leaving the house where Flynn and I had spent so much time together.

"Please darling, it's for the best!" my mother begged.

"Flynn, why hadn't you told me before?" I looked at him and frowned as I became more anxious.

"Joviana, don't get scared, please? This isn't as hard as you think, trust me please? I'm sorry I didn't tell you yet. I didn't think they'd come so soon!" he said as his smile turned into a frown.

"Oh Flynn, don't get sad... we can go," I said anxiously, "But how are we going to go?" 

Suddenly a black hole emerged from no where, behind my parents, and a bright white light shined through.

We walked down the stairs and followed behind my parents. As they walked through the black hole, they disappeared...

As they reemerged on the other side, they changed form!

My father's brown hair and beard transformed to a bright purple color and he had a black suit and pair of slacks on instead of his grey suit coat from before. My mother's aqua and magenta hair became a light rose color. Her face was covered in magenta scales that resembled that of a lizard's skin. She also had on different clothing from before; her pink dress was now a purple and lavender suit dress...

As we entered through the portal, our children flew out of our arms and began to grow a few inches and Hibiscus's hair grew in length...

The children came out of the portal holding hands and a different change of clothing. My babies had grown up a couple of years! They looked like they were almost four years old!

Flynn and I were the last to emerge from the black hole...

We must have aged at least a couple of years if not more by the time we walked into the future! Flynn had matured into a handsome young man and I was a gorgeous mature woman. It was incredible! I felt completely different from the time we entered into the portal to the time we exited!

There was a beautiful older woman awaiting our arrive on the other side when we stepped out. Flynn later on referred to her as Flora, but he told me she was his mother! She looked a lot like him, so I could see the resemblance. It was nice to finally be able to see Flynn was really from the future and not someone who just popped out of my dreams. I mean it's a bit hard to believe some of this if you know what I mean!

We were escorted by my parents to a room where we would live for now on. We put the children to bed upstairs and were told to meet later on in the tech room below our room.

Later that evening, Flynn and I arrived in the tech room only to find no one was in the room.

Flynn heard my parents calling for his presence, so he asked me if I didn't mind waiting here for awhile. I nodded and said it was fine. I sat down beside the small pool located in the center of the room and waited for my husband to come back.

Meanwhile in a corner of another room next door...

"Alright, Joviana is doing fine and she seems to be just fine with how everything is. What did you want to see me about, Jeremiah?" Flynn asked my father.

"Well you see, we had to come sooner than we planned because Joviana is going to have to transform soon. We had to age you a few years because your bodies will handle everything better this way. We also need you to transform along with her, will you be okay with this?" Jeremiah asked Flynn.

"Yea, I can't say no. I want to be with her in every step she takes. This can be a major shock for someone if it happens alone," Flynn replied.

"Flynn, we also have one more thing to request of you," Geraldine asked.

"Okay, what is it?" he asked with a smile.

"We want you two to get married now that you have kids, will you do that for us?" she requested.

"Oh yes! I have been wanting to marry her for my whole life!" he smiled with excitement.

"Okay then you shall marry tomorrow and we shall begin the transformation soon after that!" Jeremiah replied.

"Alright! Then I shall let you announce this to her! She already knows I want to marry her and I got her a ring long before now, but she will need a wedding dress," Flynn said to Jeremiah.

"I will make the preparations!" Jeremiah said with a huge grin.
