Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Planning a better future

Belle's POV

I had just hung up from talking to Elle about the meeting we should do regarding our plan when I hear my boys crying. I walked to the nursery and picked them both up to feed them, sliding down onto the blue comfy rocking chair I keep next to their crib. I rested my head against it and relaxed as I waited for them to fill up their stomachs.

I gazed at both of them and smiled as my eyes filled with tears. I wondered how long I would be enjoying moments like these since children grow up so fast. They cheer me up every time I lay my eyes on them. I love them to death. Jean walked in, resting himself in the doorway, scratching his head as a habit.

"You look so beautiful, darling. Motherhood suits you. Surely I couldn't choose a better wife than you. You are everything I always wanted," he said smiling at me with glowing eyes.

I returned a smile and looked down at my babies as they were quietly sucking.

"I love you too darling. You are a great dad too. When they grow up, I make sure they know how hard you worked for their safety, and how much you have sacrificed for them," I answered back looking into his eyes.

"It is soon time to go. I prepared the bag for the younglings so that you will have some time to change," he told me.

"Thank you, my love, you are the best you know?" I said using my seductive tone.

"I am so ready for today. I promise you, Jean, we are going to give our children the best future," I continued gazing at them.

"We will sweetheart. They are our responsibility till death" he said with a smile on his face.

When the boys were done from feeding, I placed them back in the crib, kissed my handsome husband and left to change into something comfortable. I opened the wardrobe full of clothes and brought out a sports bra and trousers. I quickly put them on and tied the white shoelace tightly and tucked them inside the black sports shoes. It was the first time to be doing some good action since I had lee and Zaden. I do not count the little bit I did on earth as that was just the beginning of what I am willing to do to protect my planet from those monstrous aliens.

We all left the house to meet Elle and Elijah at their house, holding one baby each as we walked amongst the trees. As soon as we arrived at my childhood home I placed my babies in the crib we keep in Elijah's kitchen. The first thing I noticed was the engagement ring on Elle's finger. It had small diamonds on a dainty small crown that was on the top part of the ring.

"Oh my! Elle!" I squeaked with excitement as I held her hand, observing it's detailing.

"Congratulations are in order. You deserve to be together, you cute lovie dovies. I am so excited!"

They each received a firm embrace between my arms and kissed their cheeks. Jean shook Elijah's hand firmly and hugged Elle too.

"Congrats guys," he said smiling at them. "Can't wait for the ceremony!"

"Oh, Wow Elijah. Is this the first time you shifted?" I asked noticing that he was different.

"You both look the same as humans. The doctors were right on point. They said you have the same genetics, almost like identical twins" I continued to explain.

"We have given each other's best sides you mean, right? including our looks and our abilities."

He winked at me, then turned towards Elle, smiling.

"I hate to spoil the fun, but we should start doing something about the meeting," Jean interrupted.

Elijah's POV

I helped Elle place a piece of huge and heavy luggage on the kitchen table.

"What do you have in there? It must weigh a tone!" I said as I dropped it, making a loud thump against the wood.

She opened the luggage, exposing all the weapons Elle and Belle brought with them from earth. She slowly started placing each weapon on the table for us to see. There were guns, arrows, bombs and traps that were going to be all very useful during an attack.

The girls were explaining what they were and how they work. Jean and I watched them intently as they pulled the triggers whilst pointing the guns at the empty glass bottles that were placed on a table outside our house. They fired and hit each time. I was stunned at how good they were. Elle looked dead gorgeous with those tight pants and sports bra and as I observed, I noticed how much she was enjoying herself.

Then it was time for Jean and myself to try them out. It wasn't easy at first as we never used any of these weapons before, so it took us a while to get used to the feeling of the gun. Finally, I managed to hit the first bottle after a long time trying.

"Yes, yes, yes," I squeaked happily.

Soon enough Jean hit his first bottle too and lifted his arm holding a fist, jumped up and down feeling happy he did it too.

We spent days and nights training, using different weapons to get used to them. We have finally managed to perfect our skills and we were now well prepared.

"I was thinking," Elle said, "maybe we should tell Shiloah about this. We can teach her too and maybe, if she gets interested, we can help her train everyone else."

I nodded as I placed the last weapon back in the case.

"She is our leader. It is a must that she should know," I insisted.

"It is time to take things more seriously from now on. Our future depends on our present. With these weapons, we can strengthen our army and we will suffer fewer deaths and make Rignau the safest planet to live in," Jean said sipping the last bit of his drink.

I watched Belle smile at him before picking the crying babies up for their hundredth meal. They were growing up so fast and I noticed that they were becoming more active. I couldn't wait to settle into a family, myself.

Elle's POV

I have contemplated for months if I should teach the art of Karate on planet Rignau too. It is a good way how to face your enemy should one not have a weapon at hand. I asked Shiloh and she agreed that I should train everyone from children to adults and Elders so I found a really good spot to start teaching. It was the first day of the lesson.

The children gathered in front of me all excited about something new. I have asked Elijah to join me so we would start with a good show for the kids to enjoy.

"Good morning everyone! Welcome to our first session. Today, Elijah and I are going to start the day with a good example of what you will be trained to do. Elijah, if you may", I said, turning towards him.

We both bowed down and prepared for action. He tried to hit me with a punch and I quickly grabbed his hand and twisted his wrist and brought him down to the floor. All the kids gasped and after a few seconds of silence, one started clapping and the others joined in. Whilst I was staring at the kids feeling good about myself, Elijah took the opportunity to grab me from behind and lifted me and tried to push me to the ground but I grabbed his head whilst I was in mid-air and brought him down with me.

The children started to laugh as I stood up quickly. Elijah pushed himself up and with a grin, waiting for me to make the next move. I decided to let him win this one round, so as soon as I moved in for a punch, he grabbed my arms, turned himself in a way that he came behind me, then grabbed my neck and pushed me down.

The children were enjoying the show but then it was time for them to learn too, so I put them into two's to start teaching them the art of Karate.
