Family Is Forever
Bella's POV
Bella woke up and yawned as she did. Looking over at Prince, she saw that he was still sleeping but had a huge smile on his face. His eyes were moving and she knew he was dreaming. Whatever the subject was made him happy and so it made her happy too. She knew it was still very early but, Uncle Henry would be here soon with the rest of the food. He had put much of it in the refrigerator and what wouldn't fit, he had put into coolers that he had thought up on hot ice. He would bring the desserts this morning and there would be a ton of them. Of course at the top of the list was sweet potato pie, then apple pie, lemon tarts, strawberry shortcake, and finally brownies. Also, he would want to warm the food in the new oven they had dreamed up yesterday. He said it cooked like a dream. So Bella got up, made her morning water, washed her hands, brushed her teeth and went into the kitchen to make the coffee. She also decided to make Malt O Meal as they would start eating lunch very early, but still needed something of substance in their tummies until then. She cut a melon in half and made melon balls as well. She heard no sounds of movement from either Amiir or Prince. Going back into her bedroom, she dressed quickly but quietly. She wore a beautiful pair of deep purple sweats with gold trim on the jacket and a gold tee underneath. Her gym shoes were also gold. She pulled her long hair into two pony tails after parting her hair down the middle. She then secured them into rose shaped balls with gold hair pins. Her eye shadow was lavender, her blush a soft violet and her lipstick matched her blush.
She was going back into the kitchen to check on the Malt O Meal when she heard Prince say "Mama you look so beautiful. You make me so proud that you are mine". She walked over to him and kissing him on his lovely full lips asked how long he had been awake? "I watched you from the time you started dressing". "Why didn't you say anything", she asked grinning? "Because I love watching you dress. You are so feminine. It makes me feel good to watch you". Bella kissed him again and said "I am going to serve the food. Please get Amiir up and come and eat". "Ok baby", Prince said. Prince went into the bathroom, relieved himself and washed his hands and brushed his teeth and then went to wake up Amiir. Amiir was sleeping with one of the pillows over his face. Removing it, Prince woke him up gently and he said he would be right there. He took care of his morning business and then after washing his hands joined them at the table. "Good morning Bella. That looks good. I love Malt O Meal", Amiir said. Prince said the grace and they dug in. Bella poured the coffee and Prince asked for seconds on the melon balls. Amiir asked for seconds on everything. They both got what they asked for from a smiling Bella. After briefing them on the plan this morning as laid out by Uncle Henry, both of her men went and made up the beds and dressed. Bella cleaned up the kitchen and then went outside and started to put the table cloths on the tables. As she worked she heard JR and Uncle Henry's voices. They had the desserts on trays. Amiir came out to help them. Prince heard the word desserts and came flying out of the house with a big grin on his face and as he looked at the contents of the clear plastic containers said, "I call dibs on everything"! "Oh you" Bella said laughing. They put the desserts in one of the largest coolers and Henry then started the process of heating up the meat in both the indoor and outdoor ovens. He never did believe in using microwaves to do that as he said it changed the flavor of the food. Bella went inside and got the plates and glasses and made certain there was an endless supply of fresh lemonade which she thought up in a fountain that sat on its own round table. They were ready. All they needed now was for the family to start arriving. First to arrive was Bella's Mom, Dad grandmother and grandfather and Uncle Maurice. Her mom and grandmother insisted on helping Uncle Henry. He knew better than to try to stop them, so he let them help. Next to arrive was Prince's mother Mattie, brother Duane and sister Lorna. Bella's cousins Dominic, D'Angelo, Aunties Dorothy, Verna, Ann, and her cousin Nida and great-grandmother Isadora all arrived together. They greeted one another with hugs and Holy kisses and talked about the different things that had happened since they last visited. Then they heard the unmistakable sound of Angel's wings and Michael and Sandalphon joined them and within minutes Samuel, Sarah and Mina had arrived also. They helped themselves to the Lemonade remarking on how good it tasted and Henry announced food would be ready in about 30 minutes. "Just enough time for me to beat you guys at shooting some hoops", said JR. All the guys including Michael and Sandalphon headed to the hoop to start some practice shots. "No using the wings guys", said JR. Everybody fell out laughing. Bella's mother who had been quite athletic in life asked for some people to join in badminton. Dorothy, Verna and Ann were the first to want to play. Everyone was having fun. Henry said food's ready and all those that had been playing lined up to wash their hands in the bathrooms or the kitchen.
Family is Forever
Prince's POV
Once everyone was seated, as the senior member of the family, Prince invited Isadora to say grace while they all held hands. Once grace was said, they all dug in. The food was amazing. There was Brisket, pork ribs, grilled fish, shrimp and lobster, spinach soufflé, baked beans , cold slaw, potato salad and hot yeast rolls and cornbread. It was truly a feast While some of the family got seconds, Bella went into the kitchen to put on a large fresh pot of coffee as some of them might want some with dessert. Amiir had dreamed up a rolling dessert cart and he and JR set the different desserts out on the cart and then took it around the tables so that each person could pick what they wanted Henry then cut the pieces for each family members choice. Prince took great interest in that making certain that there was some of each of the choices left in one of the coolers.
As they finished dessert, Bella poured coffee for those that wanted it and Emma, Bella's grandmother and her Auntie Dot refilled lemonade cups for those that didn't. Once everyone had a refill of their beverage, Prince stood and asked everyone for their attention and began to speak. "As all of you know, Bella and I have been getting ready to return to earth for some time. During our Walk time with Jesus recently, I was informed that I would be leaving really soon to experience birth again on earth. We were also told that Bella would soon follow. Amiir has asked to join us and so will do so at some point as well. Until then, he will stay with Bella until she transitions and then will be with Uncle Henry and JR until his own transition occurs. I want you to know how much it has meant to me to spend time becoming reacquainted with some of you and getting to know others of you. Most of you know that I did not have a great time of it with family in my previous existence so this has really been a very positive experience for me and also for my sweet Bella and son Amiir. I want to let you know that Bella and Amiir are going to need you when I leave. Please watch over them and love them just as you have while I was here. Also when Bella leaves for earth keep our son Amiir close to your hearts and spend as much time with him as you can. Certainly we will return someday and I know we will all pick up where we have left off. This experience will be true for some of you also as time goes on. If I have learned nothing else, in my former life and in Paradise, the most important thing in the world is family. It is the only thing that is truly forever. Please lift your glasses with me and let us toast to our extended family sitting here, some by blood, but all by love"...Prince raised his glass and said, "Family is Forever", all repeated it aloud. Family is Forever! "Please if you would like more food help yourselves. If you wish to play games enjoy...we have some board games available also. Please stay as long as you like...we truly enjoy having you here", Prince said. People began to migrate toward their choices of what to do next. The garden was filled with the sound of laughter, and friendly competition. Bella sat and talked to her parents and aunts for awhile and then did the same with Prince's mom and his sister and brother. Prince circulated and then joined in an enthusiastic game of hoops as did Bella's dad among others. It had gotten late before the party began to break up. Emma and Lilly as well as the Bruner women cleaned up. When all had left all was as neat and clean as could be including the grill and outdoor oven and the kitchen. JR, Dominic and D'Angelo were the last to leave and Bella hated to see them go. She knew that the next exit from her home would most likely be Prince and she knew that she would miss him more than words could ever express. Michael had told Prince that he and Sandalphon would be escorting his soul back to earth. He also told him they would be at his mother's bedside as she delivered him. Nothing would be allowed to chance for his birth. Further Michael told him, whenever he was needed even in the next life, to simply say his name and he would be there. He touched Prince's forehead to seal that fact into his memory both conscious and subconscious. Michael and Sandalphon had both embraced Prince and Bella before taking flight and heading to their own places of residence. All but Amiir had left. Amiir said it was a great party but he was a little tired and wanted to take a bath. He hugged his Dad and kissed Bella and headed into the house and to his room.
Prince took Bella by the hand and into the house and into their room. Sitting down in a chair he had Bella sit on his lap and told her thank you for the great party. He also said thank you for loving his son Amiir as her own. She kissed his cheek and said you are welcome. But loving Amiir is so easy...Prince he is a part of you. I loved him before I ever met him. Prince nuzzled her neck and she felt his happy tears but said nothing about them. Instead she asked if he would like her to bathe him tonight. He looked at her with eyes brimming with tears and nodded yes. When he had told Jesus about the party and asked if that one night Worship could be as it had been before he arrived in Paradise, Jesus had graciously said yes. He did not know if he would be here tomorrow night or if this was his last with his Bella...but he intended to make the most of every moment they had until he was gone. If he was here tomorrow he would go to Worship, but Samuel would direct. Bella was running his bath water and had gotten his robe and taken it in the bathroom. She was dressed in an identical bathrobe with nothing underneath...he could tell. He went into the bathroom and undressing stepped into the hot water. His eyes never broke contact with Bella's as she bathed him until he stood up to wash his privates. Once he rinsed off, he got out of the tub and Bella dried him off and then led him into the bedroom where he put on a pair of underwear and she gave him his Lavender massage. She then washed out the tub and ran a bath for herself. Prince climbed into bed and waited while she enjoyed the bath water. When she was done cleaning the tub she slathered her body with Vanilla Coconut Lotion, put on a white and silver short sheer baby doll nightgown that had mysteriously appeared in the closet this evening and then went into the bedroom to join her Prince.
As she walked in the bedroom Prince sat up and marveled at how sensuous and lovely she looked. Her breasts were clearly outlined by the sheer top and her nipples were standing at attention. Her tiny waist was clearly visible as were the amazing curves of her hips. His member was standing at full attention in just seconds of looking at her. "Bella turn around baby; I want to see and remember all of you". She did as requested and he sighed a deep sigh as he took in her slender shapely legs and the amazing curve of round behind and said "Holy God Bella; You are beautiful". He got up and walked toward her and kissed her. As he did his member rubbed up against the silky hair of her beautiful hidden place. His breath hitched and his dick started to drip pre-cum. He kissed her again and picked her up and put her in the bed and snuggled up next to her. He wanted to feel the wetness of her with his hand but knew that Bella would not allow that. It was too easy to get excited and enter her and if he did with his fingers both of them knew his dick would be right behind...so his Bella did not allow that. Right now he just wanted to kiss her into ecstasy and so he began to do exactly that. He kissed her and kissed her and she kissed back in kind, matching exactly the level of passion with which he was kissing her. He asked her baby, "can I kiss my titties"...she nodded yes, her almond shaped eyes were closed and she looked so beautiful it was all he could do not to cum without any further contact. He gently started to nibble her nipples through the sheer top of her gown. As he did, he remembered the first time he had kissed her nipples through her gown in his sleep and he had thought he was dreaming. She had slipped the gown off her shoulder and he had found her naked nipple and sucked her so very greedily as he was doing now because Bella had just reached inside her gown, pulled her nipple out and guided it into his mouth. Pre-cum was running down his thigh. He started to feel himself just for a moment but he was too far gone and he came. She rolled over on top of him and gave him her other nipple...his dick began to harden again. He said Bella, "please baby suck me...I am so horny, please suck me"...Bella smiled at him and she backed down his body leaving a trail of wet from her dripping pussy and finally put her wet mouth on his dick and started to suck him slowly but with great desire and passion. Her sucking became more urgent and she went faster and faster until he couldn't take it anymore and he came and when he did he called out Bella's name. When he came, she did too without so much as being touched. She swallowed his cum and wiped her mouth on the tissue he gave her from the bed stand. He pulled her up to him and kissed her again and could taste himself in her mouth. " Bella I love you and I will always love you. I promise to make you proud". Bella said, "I am already proud of you and I love you more than you can possibly imagine". He kissed her one more time and they fell asleep.
Prince woke up in the night feeling a little odd. He felt as though he was adding some sort of weight to himself. Sitting up he saw that the diamond dust appearance of his skin was changing before his eyes. His skin was becoming a butterscotch/pink color. What in the world...and then he was floating high above his body. He looked and saw Bella sleeping next to where he had just been and then he saw the body in which he had been since he had come to Paradise disappear. He floated right up through the ceiling of the cottage. "Goodbye my Bella for now; ...see you soon". He also thought "goodbye Amiir; I love you Son. See you soon". It was then he saw Michael...who greeted him with a smile. Sandalphon came up on his left side and said, stay between us Prince...we are taking you back to your temporary home. With speed that he could not even imagine they took off. He saw the same hideous beings he had seen on the way to Paradise...but this time they seemed to run away from Michael and Sandalphon. As they continued he saw the Orb known as Earth with its blue outlines of water where the oceans were and its pinkish grey outlines of rugged hilly areas where mountains were. They began to slow down and he heard Michael and Sandalphon speaking in the Ancient Angelic language and as they did his body changed and he found himself in a warm liquid environment and heard groaning and someone saying in a loud commanding voice "push...you are doing great". "Savannah push"...and then more groaning. For awhile things were quiet but then he felt great squeezing all around him and he heard those words again..."Savannah push" he also became aware of someone breathing funny like they were blowing with their lips formed like they were whistling...but they were not whistling, just blowing. He heard a man's voice say "Savannah blow"..."I am blowing Royal" a woman screamed and then the first voice, also male say, Savannah push". He didn't like this pushing business, because each time she did he felt squeezed to the point of discomfort. Then he heard, "one more, one more big push Savannah". She pushed as hard as she could and he felt his face being squeezed out of something and then his face felt really cold. Then his shoulder and his belly slid out of whatever warm place they had been...then his legs and feet. Some crazy person smacked him on his butt and he started screaming but sounded funny. Then the guy that the Savannah lady had called Royal cut a line that was close to his naval and put a clip on it. They laid him on Savannah's chest and he could smell something that smelled a little like warm milk. They draped a sheet over him as he lay on her chest, while they did something down near the warm place he had been. Then somebody picked him up again and put something in his nose that pulled some liquid out and then they measured him and he screamed as they laid him on something really cold and they said something like 6.5 pounds. They then submerged him in warm water which felt good so he stopped screaming. Someone was rubbing something foamy all over him, that felt good too. They rinsed him off and towel dried him and then put something made out of soft cloth on him and added a cap and then laid him back on Savannah's chest. The man named Royal said "Savannah, he is a perfect and beautiful baby boy".
Savannah held me close for a little while which I liked but then they put me in a little clear plastic bed and rolled me away to a room with a lot of others in the same kind of clear thing and Savannah was rolled down the hall to where I could not see her. I started to scream again but then I saw them...Michael and Sandalphon, both of them smiled at me and one was on each side of my bed. I had nothing to fear, so I went to sleep.
And so it was that on June 5, in the year 2191 at 3:05 AM a baby boy was born to Royal Prince Anderson and Savannah Anderson in the city of Chicago, IL. They named the boy Royal Prince Anderson Jr. He was average size with a thick cap of curly dark brown hair. He was fair like his father with skin that was very pink now but would end up being the color of butterscotch and right now, he was sleeping peacefully with two Angels guarding him in his hospital bassinette. A new journey had begun that would bring joy to this male child, a wife who would join him soon and several children and great hope and joy to the world as well.
