Chapter 32: Blank

Nathan drove to the house, not his house but the house the whole alien "family" had started off living in. His thoughts were racing in his mind. They got to the house and he stopped the car and quickly jumped out and headed towards the house, with Maree and Max, who was carrying Liam, in tow. He needed to get in there and stop them but his stomach turned at the thought of what he might see in there. He got to the door and managed to get in without the key that Maree had prepared to give to him, because Bella and Jack had neglected to lock the door. He got to the kitchen and glanced around, wondering which way the bedroom was. He heard Bella’s voice. He started to head in the direction of her voice, but then became aware again that Max, Maree and Liam were following him. He turned to them and said, “Stay here, you don’t want to come in.” Before Maree could object, which she would inevitably do, he took off in the direction of Bella’s voice. He got to the door and felt sweat drip down his neck.

He burst in and saw Bella and Jack lying on the bed, naked and cuddling. Their eyes went wide. Nathan’s eyes went wide. Nathan looked directly at Bella and his eyes went wider and he felt he must have looked like a tomato for all of the blushing he felt certain he must be doing.

Then Jack turned back to Bella.
“This cuddling is really nice Bella” he said.
“Oh thank God, you are only cuddling. You haven’t had sex yet” said Nathan, breathing deeply.
“Yes we did, we are just cuddling now. We did it lots. I loved doing it with Bella”

“What!?”
“Yes, isn’t that what we should do?” asked Jack.
“Isn’t that what we should do Nathan?” asked Bella.
“No you shouldn’t” said Nathan, “You Jack, and You Bella, have the some mother”
“You found my mummy?” asked Jack.
“Not now Jack, I did but the problem is you have the same as Bella. That makes you brother and sister. You don’t have sex with your brothers and sisters”
“Oh, really that sucks. Can I still put my head in between her breasts?”
“No!”

“Well that’s sad” said Bella, “I really like being with Jack. I mean we are even married”.
“That’s not a real marriage” replied Nathan coldly, then his voice softened and he said, “I’m sorry about this Bella but what you and Jack have is something you really shouldn’t. You definitely do not do what you just did with your brother.”
Bella and Jack looked at each other for a moment.
“I love you Jack” said Bella, “It is not nice to lose you as a husband”
“I love you too Bella”
Bella smiled. “Though it is very cool to gain a brother” she said. Jack smiled back at her.

“We actually have family now” he said. There was a cough near the door. Jack, Bella and Nathan looked at the doorway and saw Max, Maree and Liam.
“Kids, I told you to stay in the kitchen” Nathan said.
“We got bored” said Maree. Nathan turned to Bella and Jack.
“Cover yourself up you too, your fake children are there” he said.
Bella pulled the covers up over herself and Jack.
“Aren’t we your family?” demanded Max.
“You know what we mean” said Bella, “Our real family. We actually are related by bodily fluids.”

“Bodily fluids mean more than our experiences together as a family?” asked Max.
“No” said Jack, “You guys are awesome but it is just good to have bodily fluid family as well. Even with your occasional teenage issues and Liam’s smelly waste disposal dependence on adults, my experiences with you guys have been much better than any of my time on Banbazoia. I would adopt you all as my family any day.”

“Really?” asked Max.
“Yes, of course Max” said Jack, “Our fake family will change with these new revelations about me and Bella but it can only improve and we can be a great unit working together.”
“Okay I look forward to it” said Max.
“Now, get out of here you three. We are going to get up and get dressed” said Jack.
“Don’t worry about it Jack, we already saw both of you naked” said Maree.
“Just get out of here” said Nathan, “I will too and give them some privacy.” Nathan, Max, Maree and Liam left the room and returned to the dining room.

Nathan, Max, Maree and Liam sat at the dining table.
“What if the sex they had then makes them reproduce?” asked Max.
“Then we have a bit of a problem” said Nathan “We can only hope Jack was firing blanks”.
“What’s a blank?” asked Max.

Nathan did not reply to Max however, because something he thought was absolutely awesome, terribly terrific and completely crazy happened. What looked like a tiny rip in the air appeared – like a small black hole – and on the table next to the hole appeared a pile of money.
“Oh the money has come through the portal again” said Maree, absentmindedly.
“What!?” said Nathan.
“Oh we get Earth money from the organisation. They send it through the portal regularly” said Maree, still with a disinterested tone.
“That is great” said Nathan. He picked the money up and rubbed it between his fingers.
“It’s real” he said.
“It’s real” he screamed, “This is awesome. Remember Maree, I told you I was worried about money and didn’t think we could survive. This is the answer to our problems. Money for nothing. It is terrific. You are just given this?”
“Yes”
“We won’t starve and it doesn’t matter for us if this stupid six months thing comes through or not. I will survive. You will survive. All of us will survive” said Nathan.
“Okay, we get the point Nathan” said Max, “We will survive. Did you have trouble with money?”
“Yes Max, I was made redundant at work and I have been waiting to get government help and have been looking for work but struggling and even thought I might have to wait six more months because of something stupid the government is talking about but now we won’t run out of money for myself or your fake family and we will live fine” said Nathan.
“Well that’s cool” said Max, “I’m glad that you are happy and we could help you some way”.

Bella and Jack arrived in the dining room to see Nathan looking at the money in shock, Max talking to Nathan, Maree looking bored and Liam playing peek a boo with himself.
“Kids” said Bella, “Let’s go back to Nathan’s as our new changed family”.
Maree and Max stood up. Maree picked up Liam. Nathan looked at Bella and Jack and said, “You have free money. This portal is going to save us.”
Bella and Jack just smiled. Jack looked at Bella.
“That’s worth celebrating” he said, “Can I put my head in your breasts just one last time?”
“Yes” said Bella, “But don’t do that with your sister ever again.” Jack did so and then hugged Bella. They left and headed back to Nathan’s house.
