Forget Forever

[Amorentia]

Peni POV

It was something so Marcus to do. Planning a out-of-nowhere romantic, surprise lunch in the middle of the day without even breathing a hint of it. When I saw the note, I squeed like a dating teenage girl. Now that the Quad's were getting older, with all the Pack stuff going on, life was busy. Now, we love our busy life. We take great pleasure in our family. But it was things like this that were the decorative candy a top the icing on the perfect cake. 

On the way to the Portkey from Wisa Place to Minx Way, I saw Sara walking the same way clutching an identical note. I could hardly believe it! Marcus and Blaise tolerated each other at best. But I knew Blaise was trying really hard for Sara. And Marcus and I were really concerned about Sara and Blaise, so I figured this a way of trying to help. Greeting Sara with a big hug I said, "What a surprise, huh? Our guys doing this together?"

Sara gave me a smile smile as she returned my hug, "It's definitely a shocker."

"It's kind of nice, though," I hoped maybe she's loosen up and let me in a bit since our men went to all this trouble planning this for both of us. "To do something with you guys. I've missed you both. But are you doing well?"

"I'm great. Really," Sara stated before asking, "You?"

I was determined to accept what she would give me. Putting my arm through hers, I answered, "Wonderful. Much better now. I'm so excited. Marcus is always full of surprises. And Blaise? Wow... ." This took trying to a whole other level for Blaise. This was so good of our men to do. "I wonder if we should have brought anything. They didn't say."

Sara POV

I'm smiled over at her, trying to figure this all out myself.  Setting up something romantic with Marcus sounded completely out of character for Blaise.  Alone, just the two of us, sure, but a double date with his ex-wife and my once lover, not so much.  "I'm sure they would have told us." I said as we went through the portkey. coming out on Minx, "It's weird coming back here." I glanced around the neighborhood we once called home, "I thought when we left, I'd never set foot in this place again."

"It's a strange choice of location. But, I mean. you're house is still empty." She sighed, smiling over at me, "Maybe they went all out."

"Between Marcus and Blaise, that is a very real possibility.  I was once promised dancing dwarfs and flashing t-shirts...." I thought back to that night on my porch under the stars, Jim telling me everything he would do to make sure I knew he loved me.  Without doing any of them, I knew he did without a doubt.

Peni laughed, a sound I'd missed during my seclusion and I wondered if there was a way that maybe we could work it out where I could at least keep her and Marcus in my life, "Sounds very romantic. All we would need are the Honking Daffodils." she suggested as we made our way up the porch.

Smiling, I reached for the door as I added,  "Flashing I love you banners would be a nice touch"

"Singing fairy's...." Peni teased.

"Gnomes with flowers..."  my voice trailed off as the breath left my body.  My eyes drank in the sight before me, Blaise, my fiance, was laying on the rug in the middle of the living room we'd once lived out life in.  But instead of me, it was Pansy sitting astride him, his hands gripping into her hips, his eyes racking over her as she rode him with abandon.  It took actual effort to drag my eyes to her, seeing her mouth wrapped around Marcus' member, his fingers buried in her hair, his head thrown back.  I could feel the air tearing back into my lungs as I forced myself to breath, the pain constricting my chest.  placing my hand over my mouth, I closed my eyes, not wanting to see any more, wishing I could tune out the sounds of his moans of pleasure.  And then it came, the rage, the anger at seeing him doing the only thing I'd ever begged him not to with the one person it would hurt the most to see it with.  I took a step back, opening my eyes and watching his fingers trail up her ribs like I wasn't even in the room.  I took another step back as his fingers continued to explore upward and without a word, I turned, walking out of the room, out of this house, and out of his life for good.

Peni POV

It was as if my chest was ripped open with all the contents inside spilling out onto the floor at the same time the carpet was being pulled out from under me while the world turned upside down and the sky started crumbling in. No. A couple of times my mind sputtered no. Then I just reacted.

Rushing forward, I grabbed a handful of Pansy's hair carrying her across the room off of my beloved husband and stupid Blaise. Before I could turn to really plant my fist in her face, she apparted away leaving me with a handful of her hair. In a blind fury I planted a foot in Blaise's side feeling bone give way to my foot, before I used both hands to send my traitor of a husband flying into the wall.

How he pulled one over on me. It was a through con job he pulled convinsing me to let him into every part of me. He decived me beyond reason undoing me completely just to rebuild me with every part of me connected to him so that now, seeing him with her, tore me full on in two. Hot tears spilled down my face as my fists pounded his chest again and again for every ounce of trust he'd scammed from me asking, "How could you?"

But he wouldn't fight back. I wanted him, too. I wanted him to raise his hand so I could thoroughly rip him apart making him feel physical pain to match the devastation he was releasing inside of me.

In the back of my mind, back at home, I could hear my baby Johni begin to cry through the connective ties I always left open with them. Johni, with his blond hair and blue eyes accenting features so like his Father's. My sweet angel so the likeness of the devil that now stood in front of me.

Suddenly my mind was split in two spontaneous thoughts. He was Father to four of my children who didn't deserve to be punished because I seriously hurt or killed their Father for his many levels of treachery. That's when I realized I have four infants. Four infants, a toddler, and three boys. Eight children. Eight children and just me, alone. There were babies to feed, homework to do, projects to build, clothes to wash, booboos to fix. Out numbered eight to one, I could not afford to come undone. To keep my children afloat, falling apart was not an option even though the bottom just dropped out from  under me. They couldn't suffer because Marcus lured every part of me into dependency on him in order to just turn around destroying me completely. They were worth one hundred of him. Backing up, hot tears were pouring down my face as I pointed a finger at him telling him, "No... no...". He'd taken enough of my love and my life. I wouldn't give him anymore - not even one last look. Closing my eyes, I tried to shake him out of my head as I apparated myself away.
