Chereads / Married to an Alien / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 Father

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 Father

The girls took their new sleepwear from us and head to the showers. They are super excited about their onesies. We are all sitting at a table eating the food they have cooked for us. It is lovely to come home and find a warm meal waiting for you.

The girls all come back looking cute in their onesies. Zinnia looks like she is drowning her oversize unicorn onesie. She is smiling looking down at herself. I got her matching socks and slippers.

"Thank you for my beautiful onesies it is so warm and fluffy." She takes her hands and moves them up and down over the fabric of her onesie.

"Your welcome. Sorry it is so big I did look for a smaller size but there was nothing." I did try my best to find her size.

"No don't worry it is perfect." She comes and stands behind me kissing me on my cheek to say thank you. I did not expect her to give me a kiss she caught me completely off guard. Zinnia seems to be unaware of her effects on me. My brothers on the other hand noticed it and are smiling at me. Quinn and Conner seem to be thinking the same thing. Both of them moves their eyebrows up and down indicating they know. I just shook my head no in their direction.

We all head back to our camp for the evening. It has started to drizzle with rain. Zinnia put my warm jacket over her onesie and walks next to me. We reached our tent and went to bed. Zinnia sleeps close to me the whole night. She does not stay on her side of the bed I constantly have to move her back to her side of the bed. I decided to move her back onto her pillow and sleep half on hers. She leaves no space for me on the bed. How is it possible for such a tiny human being to take up this much bed space?

I woke up before her and decided to leave her to sleep in. My brothers and I have a busy day and I want to sort it all out before the day ends. We need to move on to the next city. I still need to phone my father to inform him of my marriage to Zinnia. I shall phone him today, I also need to let them know to come and fetch the rebels and take them to Mars. The sooner the better. We keep this part of our job to ourselves. We do not speak about it to the girls. It will upset them. If only the rebels know we do not like to split up families but they leave us no other option.

The best way to stop a rebellion movement is to send them away. It sends a strong message to anyone else who wants to try and stop us. A rebellion can lead to more people getting hurt we do not want that. We just want to work with the humans to secure Mars's food security. The winter on Mars will last another ten years. That is a long time and we cannot plant food it is too cold. Greenhouses work great but it still takes a long time to produce enough food for the whole planet. Food security is not the only reason we took over the earth. The humans were busily destroying their planet. If we did not step in they will go instink. If the earth is destroyed it will affect the other plants we cannot have that. It will have a ripple effect on other planets and nothing will ever be the same. It is in their best interest that we step in and take over the earth.

We head into the city to meet up with the leaders to discourse how we want them to run the city. We will also leave three Martians behind to lead the humans. We get the rebellions ready to go to Mars.

"When are you going to phone our father?" Owen asked me. They only want to listen in on our conversation. Henry pass me the phone. Guess I will be phoning my father now. Annoyed with my brothers I took the phone and daily my father's number.

"Hello, dad?"

"Hello, my son I was hoping I would hear from you today. How are you all doing? My dad always asks if we are doing good.

"We are all doing well dad." My brother whispers to me: "Tell him." I lift my hand to show them to be patient.

"Dad we need you to sent the spaceship to collect rebels. We will also need three Martians to stay behind in this city." My dad is quiet on the other side. He knows the humans are too weak to survive the cold winters. We give them special clothing and keep them inside but some of them does not make it. Others are thriving on Mars. There are a few humans who wish not to return to earth. They enjoy living on Mars.

"Son, I will do my best to keep them warm. Over the last few months, the temperature has dropped again. It is now colder." This is concerning. For now, the cold is okay for the Martians but what will happen when it gets too cold for them. They will all need to come down to earth.

"Dad, I got married." That was all I needed to say to change his mood.

"Yes! finally, you got married I thought you will never get married." I hear him walking fast to find my mother. He is going to tell her now.

"Honey our son got married." I hear him tell my mother. She is squealing from happenings and runs around the palace informing everyone I got married. My brothers think it is too funny and is laughing so hard they can not breathe.

"How did it happen that you got married? I am sure your brothers had something to do with it." My father knows us too well.

"I lost fishing." My father laughs at this.

"Let me guess they find you a woman that is not your tape?"

"Yes, dad. She is short and petite with short curly hair. She is the size of a jelly bead." This makes my father and my brothers laugh even more. They are enjoying my discomfort. I got upset with their silliness and cut the call.

We finished up our business and was ready to leave for our camp when we noticed the spaceship from Mars. We go and greet them. They load up the rebels handing them their gear to keep them warm. The city people come to watch as we load them up. Some are crying to see them leave others are glad the trouble makers will stop with their nonsense. Sending humans to Mars is never a nice feeling. My brothers and I decided to go and have a drink at the bar before heading back to camp. Our warriors welcome this plan and go with us.

It was late at night when we return to camp. Quietly I climb up the leader to the rooftop tent. I look inside to see where Zinnia was. She is sleeping in our bed. Not on her side but mine. I decided to change sides and got in bed on her side.
