The Clands Legacy Generation Four Chapter Two

Welcome back, last time we ended with the death of Isidro, Volina's first love. Let's go see how she's taking  his death, shall we?

The death of Isidro had taken Volina by surprise deeply, and she didn't know how to deal with it. Should she try to forget about him and turn to Efren, or should she still be true to Isidro, even though he's dead? Even though she wasn't sure how to continue her love life, she knew one thing, the stereo had to go.

Efren watched as Volina moved the stereo that had taken Isidro's life away from the house. He wanted to show himself to her, but he wasn't sure now was the time. Maybe she'd be able to work things out by herself. 

He watched as Volina placed the explosive on the stereo, turning it on and starting to run from it, only for it to blow up before she made it far enough away from the blast zone.

Efren: No!!!! Volina!!!!

Efren ran over to the blast zone, finding Volina and seeing if she was hurt, or even still alive. The sudden realization of what he'd feel like if he'd lost her was coming over him. He couldn't live without her, he couldn't! When Volina saw Efren, she started to cry even more. He was here, he was here.

Volina: Efren... you're here...

Efren: Are you okay? Are you hurt? Please tell me your okay!

Volina: Efren... you're here...

Efren: Yes I am, and I'm not leaving you again! Too much has already happened for me to leave you alone.

Volina wrapped her arms around Efren, her tears landing on his shirt.

Volina: Efren, Isidro is dead...

Efren: I know, I know. I'm here now, everything will be okay.

Volina: No things won't be okay, Isidro's gone! My life will never be complete again-

Efren: It will get better, trust me on this one. Your life will turn out  greater than you think. Just don't give up on yourself.

Volina: I don't think I can do it myself-

Efren: That's where I come in.

Efren didn't know what to do, maybe just being here would help Volina right now. It seemed to be working currently.

Efren: Do you want me to bring you inside?

Volina: Yes... can you bring me to the master bathroom? I need to clean up.

Efren: Sure, whatever you need.

Efren carried Volina inside and up the stairs. When he got to the bathroom, he was about to head into the bedroom to wait when Volina spoke up.

Volina: No Efren, please don't go! I've already lost Isidro, I can't lose you too! Your not going to run from me again!

Efren turned around, his hands holding on to her arms.

Efren: I'm not leaving you Volina... I can't. I can't stay away from you. I tried to stay as far as I could, but I just found myself back here. I'll never leave you, never.

He didn't know if now was the time, but he had to show Volina he cared, and this was the only way he knew how. He meant for it to be a quick peck on the lips, but as he tried to pull away, Volina wrapped herself around him, bringing him back.

Volina was ten times more happy when he looked at her again, and her actions were just proving how much he'd already helped her recover.

Volina: Efren, you said you'd only be with me if I wasn't with Isidro, right?

Efren: Yes, but...

Volina: Shhh, you have no excuses now. So the only question is do you still want to be with me?

Efren: Hmmmm *Looks over at the shower* How about you tell me as I help you get cleaned up?

Volina: Naughty Naughty Efren! Making me wait for my answer, how could you!

Efren: Hurry up and you'll get your answer sooner.

That night Volina had her first gig at the opening of a new hang out. She'd brought Efren along so he could finally hear her sing.

Efren was loving every minute of it. He'd heard a lot of great singers, but none compelled in comparison to Volina, and he wasn't just saying that because he thought so, she was!

After the show, Efren went up to Volina to explain how good she really was, not expecting what was coming for him.

Efren: That was amazing! I've never heard a voice like your's. 

Volina: Oh, you're just telling me that.

Efren: No, it's true! Out of all the voices I've heard, you are by a long shot the best!

Volina: So, out of around a hundred people, you think I'm the best? The odds of me being that good are kind of low in my opinion.

Efren: But you are! By the way, it's out of a thousand, not a hundred.

Volina: Now I know you're lying, but it still sounds good when it's coming from you.

Volina: Efren, how much do you know about my culture when two people who are in love?

Efren: Well, not much really, but from what I know, one of the people who is in love asked the other one to spend the rest of their lives together, and asking the person is called engagement. Then their is a party, called a wedding, and the two get married. That's about as much as I know.

Volina: That is pretty accurate to what actually happens. So what do you think about this marriage thing? 

Efren: I think it's something I could look forward to, it sounds a lot better than arranged and forced marriages, which is what I grew up with. It gives both people the choice to be together... what's behind your back?

Volina: Oh nothing, I was just wondering...

Volina: ... Will you marry me?

Efren: You... you want to be with me?

Volina: Yes I do! So do you want to marry me?

Efren: Yes Yes Yes!!!!! A million times yes!

I just love these two! I had something else in mind before, but Isidro's death was just so... perfect. Is it sad if I think Volina looks cuter with Efren than Isidro?

Volina: Oh wow, my stomach just decided it was time for some turning around.

Efren: What's wrong?

Volina: I'll be right back, I need to puke for a moment.

As Volina was by herself in the bathroom, she realized that she might be pregnant. She was happy for a moment until she realized she'd who hooed with Isidro before Efren, so there was a chance that if she was pregnant, it wasn't Efren's.

Outside the bathroom, Efren was waiting for her. Should she break the news to him now, or later?

Efren: You look upset again, what's going on?

Volina: I think I might be pregnant... but if I am, there is a chance it's not your's...

Efren: You mean it could be Isidro's baby. That's okay, I'm fine having a step-child. Are you okay with me being it's dad, even if I'm not it's real dad?

Volina: Are you volunteering to be a father in place of Isidro?

Efren: That's part of the deal of getting married, isn't it?

Volina: You're getting yourself into a lot of trouble becoming my husband, you know that?

Efren: I knew my life was going to be troublesome the moment I decided to try and save you from my dad. I signed myself up for this, and I'm ready for whatever is thrown at me.

Random Townie: I hate hearts, it means love, and love is for idiots, cause the only thing love causes is pain.

That lady has a positive view on life.

Volina: OHMYPLUMBBOB!!!!! It took our picture while we were inside who hooing! This is bad!

Efren: It can't be that bad... Oh no... DESTROY THOSE PICTURES NOW!!!! I refuse to be that hairy!

Volina: I like your hair though! It adds character. I'm destroying these so our children won't have to see this in the family photo album.

Volina: Die photo die!!!! *Rips picture apart* There, now can we do something that we would be okay with  putting in front of our children?

Efren: Agreed, our kids don't need to know how they came into this world by seeing a picture of it.

Efren: This one is so much better, no hairy back side showing.

Volina: I still like your hairy back side.

Now to meet Amit and BreAnne's first grandchildren. This is Jaeger and Sambuca's baby girl Shantel... She's so blue and adorable! Her eyes are bright blue, and they've stolen my heart for sure! I'm also in love with her hair (Amit's) and how bright her skin is. If it wasn't for how cute Efren was, I'd be complaining on how I wanted Jaeger to be the heir instead!

I also have to introduce June, Ziv and Jada's baby girl. She had a darker shade of green than her mother and has the lime green eyes, so she'd my little green baby, just like Shantel above is my blue baby :D June also inherited BreAnne's hair. This one also won my heart.

Then we have Callie, Eneco and Mandie's girl, who has her mother's skin, and her grandma BreAnne's hair and eyes. She's not as cute as Shantel and June though. No stealing anything from me on this one.

Sure enough, Volina was pregnant. Efren really didn't seem to mind that the child could very possibly not be his. He viewed it like it was anyway. Anything that was important to Volina was important to him.

Volina loved having Efren around. He reminded her so much of Isidro, but he was still his own self. What she really loved about him was how much he cared about her. She could go and take about anything to him, and he'd somehow understand what she was going through.

BreAnne wasn't sure she liked this Efren fellow. She'd only just met him and she really didn't know anything about him. What if he was out to harm her daughter? She'd already had her heart broken from the death of Isidro, she couldn't possibly go through another broken heart.

Volina: What's with the glasses Efren?

Efren: It's for my career outfit. I've chosen to be called Shades, hence the glasses.

Volina: Oh, that makes sense. I've been going by The Emperor, in honor of my mom who wants to become the Emperor of Evil.

Efren: She doesn't seem to like me. You have any idea why?

Volina: She doesn't really know you yet. Once she gets to know you, she will adore you!

Efren: Why did you bring me up here?

Volina: I've been working on a little project. You remember all those pictures I made you take with me?

Efren: Yes...

Volina: It was for this, go check it out!

Efren: This... This room is beautiful!!! 

Volina: Thanks, I knew you'd like it!

Efren: The work you did on this room is only half of the reason I like it. The other half is because you did it.

Volina: You really know how to win a girls heart, you know that?

Townie: What's with the gizmo?

Amit: It's to see if your body is working perfectly okay.

Townie: Do you even know how to use it?

Amit: To a point... yes. I know if the thing starts beeping, your as good as dead.

*Beep Beep Beep*

Amit: Not that beeping sound.

Efren: *I can do this! I will succeed at my first gig* 

And for my next magic act, I need a volunteer from the audience!

Old lady: I will young man!

Efren: *Oh no... it's her...*

Efren: Step right into the box my dear, and don't move 

*Whispering to the lady* Why are you here?

Old Lady: *Whispering back* I need to speak to you about the girl you've fallen in love with. That's all.

Efren: Sure Yvette, we can talk after the show.

Efren: Why are you here? I haven't done anything wrong!

Yvette: Yes you haven't, I've just come to check on you. How is your life going with this human girl?

Efren: She's not all human you know. She is part Mythic.

Yvette: Yes, I know. I helped her uncle, Erik, back when him and an old neighbor of mine were just starting out their lives together. I know she's part Mythic, I've been studying her family history and there is something you need to know... if you do marry her, you'll be out-lawed.

Efren: What?!?!

Yvette: Her great grandpa, Lemon, was a criminal. He was out-lawed here for his crimes, and so therefore this is a non-legal family. They shouldn't be here, cause starting a family while out-lawed is illegal.

Efren: But from what everyone tells me, Lemon was an amazing man, even reached the top of his career in law enforcement!

Yvette: True, but becoming the good guy isn't enough to pay for what he did. He tried to organize a rebellion against how the Mythic system works. We caught him before any major damage was done though. He was sent here to learn a lesson, not start a legacy!

Efren: So are you telling me just to leave Volina, with a baby who's father has died, and return to the Mythic Society?

Yvette: That just about sums it up.

Efren: Well, it that's the case, I'm not going.

Yvette: Huh?!?!

Efren: Sorry, but if this is how the Mythic Society is going, I don't want any part of it. I love Volina, and I'm not leaving her when she needs me the most. Out-law me for all I care, I've lived with it my whole life already because of my father. You can even take away my powers, but I'll still stay with Volina. You know why? Cause I love and care about her, along with her child, that's why!

Yvette: Wise choice Efren, and smart too, but I'm afraid because of the law you still will be an out-law. I'm sorry it has to be this way...

Efren: Don't be, I never really fitted in with the Mythic Society anyway. I feel more at home here than anywhere else I've been.

When Efren had just gotten home, he started to hear Volina up stairs yelling that the baby was coming. He quickly helped her to the hospital, and after hours of waiting, the first child of Generation Four was born...

Please give a warm hand for Jake Clands, the son of Volina... and Isidro. Yep, the child wasn't Efren's, but that didn't matter to him. To Efren, the child was his, and always would be in his mind.

Jake has his mother's eyes, his father's skin, and some random hair color that I think suits him.

Thanks for reading, and by the way, isn't Jake cute? I seriously can't wait to see what Volina and Efren's children are going to look like!
