Chapter 53 Why Do You Even Like Me?!

"Hwhat?!" Both Frank and Helen exclaimed, and I grinned at the once old man, but now he looked the same age as me.

"Now, Let's give Grams a bit of a boost!" I said, turning to the gray-haired woman in bed that was breathing heavily.

No one spoke. The three in the room were transfixed on Grams as she became younger, but I also targeted Frank and Helen.

Within moments, everyone in the room looked the same age, and Grams sat up from her bed, staring down at her hands. Before anyone could react, Pops tackled Grams back down into the bed and started to kiss her.

I turned back around and found Helen and Frank wrapped in each other's arms, already doing the same thing. I guess that I really could blame them.

This was about the time that Victoria came down the stairs holding a small chest with a flip lid I recognized. That had been on her vanity since she was little, but it had always been closed, so I had no clue what was in it.

"What happened to everyone?" Victoria asked as she walked into the makeout fest.

"Well, I made your family all about our age and in the best shapes of their lives. Looks like they are putting them to good use, and Grams is clearly better," I laughed.

"Victoria! Dear! It is so good to see you! Herbert! Get off me for a moment so I can say hello to our granddaughter, you old horn dog!" Grams barked, and Pops rolled off her, looking up at Victoria.

"Little Vicky?! Wow, feels like I haven't seen you in years!" Pops said with a laugh, but Victoria burst into tears, shoving the chest in my arms and then running to grab the once old man.

"Pops!" Victoria cried, and I smiled.

Seeing this made it all worth it.

Suddenly, I was hugged from both sides, and I looked down to find both Helen and Frank.

"There are no words to express what you have just done. All I can do is thank you from the bottom of my heart!" Frank said with tears in his eyes, and then he broke away from me to go hug his father with Victoria.

"I always knew that you were special, and so did she, but you have always had a complicated life with girls. I was surprised when I saw you and her kissing, but now I can see why. She must have witnessed more things like this, and it would be hard for her to keep her resistance up after that," Helen laughed, and I grinned.

"I have always cared about her, even with her flaws because I have just as many, but I never knew that she felt the same way as me. Still, all that is well ends well, and everything worked out in the end. I was just glad that I could help people now," I said.

Helen was still holding on to me, and she was a brown haired splitting image of her daughter.

"Mom, how long are you going to hold on to Daniel?" Victoria asked as she was suddenly standing before me.

"Oh, just a bit longer, dear. His is so delightfully warm, and I can see why you finally let your guard down! If Frank wasn't with me...." Helen said as she fidgeted, pressing her breasts into me.

"MOM! Get off him!" Victoria screamed and pulled her mother off me.

"What about me, Helen?!" Frank cried, and I rolled my eyes, rubbing a hand over my face.

Victoria grabbed the chest from my other hand, slipping under my lifted arm. I looked down, and she was blushing again, looking down, making me grin.

This violent woman could be so damn cute when she wanted to be.

"Come, let's go see about the seeds. We can leave these four to themselves for a bit," I said, wrapping my arm around Victoria, and she nodded without speaking.

The two of us head to the back door of the house, walking out into the backyard. The greenhouses were already warm, and I could see the greenery moving around inside.

"Why did you do that for them?" Victoria asked as we walked into the first greenhouse.

"You love them, right?" I asked.

"Of course I do!" Victoria shouted at me, and I nodded.

"You also must be worried that one day they won't be here anymore, right?" I asked, and Victoria stopped.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"I try not to think about it, but yeah. Grams and Pops were really old, and we might have lost Grams if you hadn't come and helped, but they aren't your real family!" Victoria exclaimed, and I gave her a look.

"Really? You don't think I don't consider your family like my own? What do you think I would come over for? Just the shit and abuse that you loved to dish out?" I asked, and Victoria's eyes went big.

"But I am always so mean to you! Why do you even like me?!" Victoria shouted at me and took a step back, her face awash with raw emotions.

"As much as you are mean to me, you are so kind to other people. You like plants, and you do a great job at taking care of them. You don't like sports, but you were at all the girls' games, and you sat with me most of the time, even if just to complain," I explained, and Victoria took another step back.

"I just don't get you! I really like you, but I don't understand why you feel the same way! You have all the other girls!" Victoria shouted, and I nodded.

"True, but all of you are different, and none of them are you. I didn't choose this life, Melody wanted us all to be together, and that woman is impossible to say no to! I am sure that you know this, but the thing is that I really care about you all, so I will treat every one of you as my close family," I declared, and Victoria tried to take another step back but fell down on her arse to stare up at me.
