We invited Mina to visit. She came here. We still have deep feelings for each other it is clear. If she and Gordon can get along, maybe the three of us can be together. Somehow I think we can be good for each of us. I think Gordo would love twice as much attention, but I'm not certain if Mina can handle a situation like this. We'll have to take this one step at a time.

We took the kids trick or treating for the first time. Gordon coordinated the whole thing including the costumes. He did a farm theme so the three of us took the wee ones around the neighborhoods. He was the farmer, Mina and I were the front and back of a horse (Mina was the horse's arse). Phin was the most adorable turkey and Rosie was a Holstein cow complete with udders. She was not amused. She wanted to be a princess. I promised next year she can be a princess. They loved getting candy and Phin got into the spirit of things by making gobbling noises. Rosie on the other hand settled for a dead-pan moo.

My sweet Green Eyes gave me a Triumph with a side car for the kids.  I was gobsmacked.  I should have guessed that he would do such a thing, after all he and Rosie and Phin have been goading me into buying one for months. I know its because they want a lift.  Its maroon and gold and shimmers in the sunlight.  It felt so grand to have her between my legs. I haven't driven a motorbike in years.  Evelyn gave me this wicked leather jacket.  Tori and Chris gave me a helmet for myself and Gordo and two tiny helmets for Phin and Rosie.  I didn't think they made helmets that small.  I wonder if Chris had them custom made.  I spent most of the day driving  everyone around at the house.

I didn't think I wanted a bike because I don't want the responsibility of insurance or maintenance.  Now I'm glad i have it.  Since I've come to Southport  my life has changed more than I could possibly imagine.  Gordo wants us to buy a house of our own so the kids can have their own rooms and we can have some privacy.  I can deny him nothing at this point.  I love him so much.  So tomorrow we go house hunting.
 

Worrying about Belladonna, I started thinking about another woman in my life. I find that I still care for Mina. Gordon sensed this too. Is it possible to love two people at the same time? He says he wants me to be happy so eventhough he is jealous he said I could phone her. I did expecting that she'd hang up the telephone. She was surprised and glad to hear from me. We've started emailing again.

Da found Belladonna crumpled on the ground in his garden.  She was near death.  He will keep her at his home until she is well.  He will use his knowledge of plants to nurse her to health.  if anyone can do it, he can.  Maybe i shouldn't have sent her away. I thought that Lorcan would take care of her.

I've been worried about Belladonna lately.  She hasn't come around in a while.  The kids are even wondering where she is.  The last time I saw her she looked rather ragged.  It would seem that Lorcan, the one she fancies, is indifferent to her feelings.  It must be hard to be in love  with someone who doesn't love you back. Hmmm.  I tried to comfort her, but it didn't seem to help much.  Chris and Tori say she's someone else's problem now.  Chris really hates Belladonna for the way she treated me.  I pity her, but I could never hate her.   She gave me Phin.

Gordon has passed his psychological exam.  Without the demons inside him, he is a stable, caring, human being.  Last night we initiated him into the Knights.  Alastair Finch, Evelyn's Grandfather, and Bishop  Albert Grant  presided.  Gordon took his oath with  dedication.  I am quite proud of him.  His sincerity  is  touching.   There are not many who would pledge to dedicate their lives (quite literally in many cases) to the protection  of  humans and enchanted creatures from evil.  I'm not sure in what capacity they'll use him, He comes from a mage family, the same one as Chris, but I haven't seen him manifest any raw power.  Although he has more energy than anyone I know (in and out of bed) and he likes to climb things and his reflexes are astounding.  No wonder he was captain of his Cricket team.

I was noodling around on Denver Doll Emporium this morning, and checking up on their stock of 12mm eyes, when I found myself wandering into the 60cm BJD's, wondering idly how one might go about en-dolling Harold Two Horses.

...

This hobby, it's a sickness, I swear it is.

Myself, Gordon, Phin, and Rosie went to visit Da. I wasn't sure how he would take the relationship between Gordon and me. Da is Catholic so I wasn't sure that he wouldn't cast me out of his house. Thankfully, he didn't. He wasn't thrilled, but he wasn't angered either. Da asked me if I was happy. I am. That seemed to satisfy him.

I played in the garden with Phin and Rosie while Gordon and Da had a long talk. I've no idea what they said to each other, but they talked for a long time. When Gordon came out to the garden, his hair was wet and smelled like Da's herb garden. I didn't think too much of it at the time because Da always is making natural teas and lotions and soaps.

This morning I woke wrapped in hundreds of silky golden threads. I was alarmed at first, until I realized that the golden hairs were attached to Gordon's head. His hair had grown about two feet overnight! He was startled when he woke too. Apparently Da had made a growth potion for him. That's why his hair was wet. I don't think he suspected that the potion would work that fast.

His hair falls to his arse. He looks stunning. I just want to run me fingers through his golden hair. I don't know if I'll be able to keep me hands off him.

I'm as happy now as I've ever been in my life. Daniel says he loves me.

I could live the rest of my life like this and die happy.

Gordon has moved in with me. He spends most of his nights here anyway. I opened the wardrobe and his silk shirts and dress slacks were hanging up next to me tee shirts and jeans. Thankfully, he doesn't have many possessions. This room is one of the larger ones but it isn't that large.

Last night Gordon helped me put the kids to bed. Phin asked if they could sleep with us. The next thing I knew there I was with Gordon, Phin, Rosie, Misty and Fernando all snuggled in bed together like a pack of wolves.

I broke it off with Mina. I regret that I had to do it over the phone, but it was impractical to go to Washington D.C. just to say goodbye and turn 'round and come back. She said she'd be fine, but I could hear it in her voice that she wasn't. She'd fallen for me and I'd hurt her. Bloody Hell!

It's been three days since I told Gordon that Mina and I have broken up. He still looks at me as if he doesn't believe it. I assured him it was true. I gave up Mina for him. He hugged me so hard that I thought he would crush me ribcage. He's been clinging to me like if he lets go he'll lose track of me. I'm not going anywhere as far as I know. Of course I'm not sure how long this relationship will last. All I can do is be here for him and give him what he needs. God, I hope he's happy.

Mina came to see me. This time I got to show her the sights. We went to Chicago to the museums and Navy Pier so I could play in the fountain. We ate at Pizzaria Uno so she could experience real Chicago style pizza. In Kenosha we went to Escape While There's Still Time and Once in a Blue Moon.

I tried to take it slow, but when I looked into her emerald eyes I wanted to make love to her. She gave in. It was strange, but somehow I expected more. I knew I could fall in love with her and I thought that sex would bind us closer and send me over to the next level. The sex was great, but I'm not sure what was missing.

When I woke in the morning, it seemed odd to find Mina in the bed rather than Gordon. Often when I would go to sleep alone I'd wake to find Gordon in bed with me, other times we go to bed together and wake together. I realized that it seemed natural or right to have him with me. What does that mean?

Mina went back home and left me with me thoughts. I think I love Mina, but I think I'm in love with Gordon. I'm not sure what to think of that. I've never had this kind of relationship with a man before.

I thought the best thing to do was to talk to Gordon about it. We talked for a long time. He can be refreshingly frank. I think that's one of the things I love about him. Apparently I've been blind. I've hurt him by my relationships with Belladonna and Mina. I wondered why he didn't seem to like either of them. He was jealous. He's in love with me. He wants ME. He said I should've known that at Chris' wedding when I asked him to marry me. I did it for a laugh. We'd had alot to drink and he was wearing that Tiara so I "proposed". He accepted, but I thought he was going along with the joke. Days later Tori congratulated me, but I thought that was a joke as well. Gordon seemed upset when I told him it was a joke but then he dropped it. I know know that he meant it and it hurt him that I didn't.

Well, I've never wanted to get married to anyone. I know most people do want to get married at some point. Maybe that's why me relationships don't last long. He said he couldn't go on like this. He felt like a toy. I never meant for him to feel like that. I can either be with him or Mina, but not both. It seems that all I do is hurt him. Why does he love me? I want Gordon to be happy. Can he be happy with me? If I'm what he wants I'll do me best to take care of him. I'll have to break it off with Mina. That means hurting her. Why is everything so complicated?

Tori: I live in jeans and a tank top, but... My favorite outfit is a white silk corset, a kinda gothish black miniskirt with a million layers of black tulle under it, funky teal thigh-hi stockings with black and white flowers on them, and my black ballet flats. *nods*

Chris: On my birthday, my aunt sent me a silk sleeveless kimono-style top in blue, black and cream, and a pair of matching black pants. It's very comfortable, and my wife says it makes me look exotic.

Daniel: Me jeans and sunglasses. I wish I had a Guinness tee-shirt...

Gordon: I prefer to be naked.

Briar Rose: I like all my clothes, although my daddy says that I don't ha... *sniff* ha-have enough room in my clo-closet to buy any more... *sad sniffle*

Phin: I have a white wb and a pair of black track pants that are totally sick. My daddy also gave me some wicked bling. It's a blue flower on a long blue chain. My Uncle Chris says that it's so big on me that it's "blong" and not "bling". I love my daddy.

Joan: *gurgly baby noises* (translation: my blue checked dress and a diaper)

Belladonna: I want a filmy, gauzy dress, but haven't found suitable material yet. I'm beginning to like clothes...

The kids are badgering me to buy a motor bike. Rosie says I'd look cool and Phin says I'd look hot. I'm not sure how what to think about that. Phin tends to repeat things that he hears others say without really thinking about what it means. Gordon agrees with him about me looking hot on the back of a motor bike. I think he just wants me to get one so he can ride it. I know that's why the kids want me to but one. I could see meself flying down the highway. I'd enjoy it, but I really have no intention of owning one. The more possessions you own, the more they own you.

Daniel's been seeing a woman that he met by chance at Navy Pier. She lives on the East Coast, so I'm quite sure he doesn't see as much of her as he would like. Which is probably a good thing.

You see, Gordon is moping. He slumps around the Hall like a bloody sluagh. It's annoying the hell out of me, although I try to be kind. I've noticed that, when it comes to the two of them, I will always choose Daniel. I'll side with him in a dispute, inquire about his opinion, ask him to the theater before anyone else, even Tori. Oddly enough, my wife seems to understand completely, as if she knows by some instinct that Daniel was my blood brother, my sidekick, my mentor, long before I met her.

But Gordon doesn't grasp that. He's young, and seems to think that if I go to Daniel first, I can't go to anyone else, can't hold anyone else as dear. He seems to think that it isn't fair, that he's my only living relative, that I don't chose him over someone that isn't technically related to me at all. It's all very primary school, and it grates on my nerves.

I must remember to be kind to him sometimes, when he gets like this, catty and jealous, and terribly wounded. It's the wounded bit that reminds me.
