Chapter 115 - VISITING THE HORNE FAMILY

Following our lunch, I decided to go with EZ back to his parents' house. He hadn't really been home since he started staying at my old place with Bastian. They were currently looking for a place that would be perfect for all of them to stay. And, of course, Bastian and Laremy were coming with us as well.

I knew that once I was officially engaged, EZ was definitely going to make me tell his parents. They were going to love the idea of it all. I can picture the whole scene in my head right now. I already needed some aspirin, and I wasn't even there yet. Ugh.

The moment I got to EZ's house, or former house, I knew that even my headache- inducing visions had been far from what was going to happen. And why had I been so wrong about it? Well, that was easy to figure out and answer; Amethyst, the youngest of EZ's sisters, was at the house today. I just knew that she was going to make something big about this.

"Jacy?!" Amethyst had called out the moment that I parked the truck in the driveway. "I am so pissed off at you young lady!" Tiny little Amethyst was yelling at me. "You missed the last family brunch. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I'm sorry, Amethyst." I said as I walked closer to her. "I had a lot going on at the time."

"Really? So much that you needed to take my brother with you as well?" She asked as she started to turn toward EZ. "Don't think I am going to let you off the hook for this, Ezekiel Andrew, I am very ang-." She stopped mid-sentence as she saw her brother walking toward her, he was holding hands with both Laremy and Bastian.

"Hey sis." EZ giggled out when he saw his frozen sister. He just pecked her on the cheek and flitted past her with his double arm candy.

After a moment Amethyst seemed to unfreeze enough to look at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

"J..Jacy?" She was stunned and that was not an easy feat. "Who were they?" She asked me as she looked toward the house now.

"Come inside, and I am sure you will find out."

"Oh I will, but I need to make some calls first."

I hadn't even taken two steps by the time she was on a double call, talking to both of her sisters at the same time. She cut through whatever greetings they were giving and yelled at them in a run.

"Get your asses here now! EZ and Jacy just showed up here with two guys." The excitement in her voice was a little unnerving.

"Oooh, does Jacy actually have a boyfriend?" Sapphire asked.

"Well, not only did they all show up, but Jacy is wearing a ring." Damn that girl was perceptive.

"EEEEEEE!" The squeal was only coming over the phone, but it was enough to hurt my ears. I tried to ignore it, and thankfully it cut off after a second. The next thing I knew, Amethyst came running up to me and grabbed my arm.

"Let's go inside and wait for the others. My sisters wanted to be here too." She was giggling.

"Sure they did." I rolled my eyes at the door as I walked inside. Great, this was going to be even more fun now.

Twenty minutes later, I was sitting in the living room drinking a cup of tea that Laurell had given me. That was how long it took the other two sisters to get to the house. The door to the  house burst open, and the two of them practically tripped and fell over each other as they hurried to get inside.

"Where are they?"

"Let us see them. I want to know what's going on too."

"Calm down you two." EZ giggled at them as he stood there with his hand on his hip. "You're embarrassing yourselves. You need to be more ladylike and poised, use me as an example." He walked back to the sofa to sit between the two men.

"You're not a damn lady." Emerald shouted at him.

"That's right honey, I'm a queen! And don't you ever forget it." The whole room burst into laughter then, even Bastian and I laughed.

When the laughter died down, and everyone was once again on their feet or sitting in a seat, Laurell took control of the room.

"Well, now it is a lovely surprise to have all five of our children here at once. I can't tell you how happy I am about this. However, I think this all has to do with EZ and Jacy. Do either of the two of you have something to tell us?" Laurell's hands were clasped in front of her chest, and she was giving the two of us very knowing looks.

"I think Jacy does." Amethyst prompted me with a little pushing motion of her hands. "Come on, tell us what you've come to say. We're all ears."

"Hahh." I sighed at her urging.

"Yes, we really want to know, Jacy. We're here for you." Sapphire smiled at me.

"We're going to support you no matter what." Emerald was talking like it was bad news, but she couldn't stop grinning.

"Fine." I just rolled my eyes. "I came to tell you all, though I thought it was just going to be Bechard and Laurell, that I am going to be getting married."

Laurel and all three of her daughters were now jumping for joy. The three sisters were all holding hands and jumping in a circle as they celebrated.

"Last time, she wasn't even dating someone."

"That we knew of."

"And now she's getting married."

"I am so excited."

"I can't wait to go to her wedding."

"I hope she doesn't push it off too long."

"Still, who is the guy?" When Emerald asked that, they all stopped jumping. "Last time she didn't have a man. Who is this guy that she agreed to marry so soon?" The three of them turned to look at me now, they were like the three Furies as they bore down on me. At that moment, I just wanted to get away.

"Oh, that's right, you three weren't here when she and EZ came to see us. That was such a lovely day, meeting Bastian and Kyle. To think they were both so happy." Laurell sounded like she was reminiscing fond memories.

"MOTHER?!" All three of them shouted at her at once.

"Huh? What? Oh, I take it this means you don't know that Jacy is pregnant?" I think Laurell was having fun with all of this.

There was another shout and another shriek. I think that those of us with special hearing almost went deaf. It didn't matter to the Furies. They descended on me now, but instead of trying to kill me they were happily hugging me and asking questions so fast that I didn't catch a single one of them.

"Alright, stop it." Bechard raised his voice until it boomed and clapped his hands. "Leave the poor girl alone."

Finally, I was able to breathe again. I knew that I hadn't gotten much reprieve though, all of them were poised and waiting for me to explain. Except for Amethyst, she has always been the most impatient one of the bunch. She stood up and turned around. With a hand pointed right at one of the men sitting next to EZ, she started speaking.

"Which are you, Kyle or Bastian, and who are you with?" Her voice was stern.

"I am Bastian, and I am with EZ." He smiled and looked at his mate next to him.

"So you must be Kyle." Amethyst pointed at the other man.

"Sorry doll, my name is Laremy."

"HUH?!" All three sisters were surprised.

"Yes, I have been wanting to ask for an introduction, but when you all came in, EZ said we needed to wait until everyone was here. Can we have that now?" Bechard looked at his son.

"Of course, dear father, I can introduce both men so that my dear sisters can meet them as well. First off is Bastian over here, him and I became a thing not too long ago. It's hard to explain to all of you right now, but we will in time. Just know it's like a soulmate thing."

"That is so sweet." Sapphire looked at her brother lovingly.

"And this is Laremy. I met him a little bit after Bastian, and it was the same thing. Soulmate bond. There is an unusual circumstance here, so I don't want to hear any of you talking about how I have two men in my life. I will explain the circumstances when I think you're all ready for it, but I want you all to know that I love them both with all my heart, and they both love me. We have accepted each other the way things are. They are both with me, but they are not with each other."

After a few minutes of letting that news sink in Amethyst threw out some more of her questions and input.

"I don't have anything against what you do, EZ, as long as it makes you happy and isn't illegal. However, polygamy is illegal so which one will you marry? I don't want you to lose either of them, and I know that, flamboyant and free spirited though you may be, you still want to get married. Or have you changed your mind and given up on marriage?" It was a well thought out statement, considering who it came from. She really did love her brother. She didn't want to see him throw out one of his biggest dreams. 

"I will still get married." He assured her with a smile. "And when I do we will figure it all out so that it is the best situation possible."

"Then that is all we need to know. I am happy for you son. It looked like you've got two very strong men to protect you, and that lets me rest easy." Bechard was giving his son a loving look.

"Thank you, Daddy, that was so sweet."

I thought that they had all forgotten about me. Nope! Now that EZ's issue was settled, the Furies turned on me again. They wanted to know everything about Kyle. They wanted details, descriptions, pictures, anything they could get on him. They wholeheartedly approved, especially after they were told about the way that Kyle could handle me. We fudged a little on the date that I met Kyle, since I was due in just under five months. They wouldn't understand if I gave them a sixth month breakdown for my pregnancy.

The rest of the time there turned to talks of my wedding and baby shower. And I was happy to say that there was some talk about EZ's wedding as well. That gave me a little relief from the spotlight so that I could relax somewhat. I wanted to go home already, and conveniently Kyle was texting me that he was on his way home. What a perfect excuse to leave.
