Chapter 1: I think he knows
Yasmine's pov:
" When I was younger I always wanted to be different from everyone else. Mainly to escape periods and stuff. I have to say, I’m exactly where i’m supposed to be. I have a daughter with my friend Max. We planned for her but we’re not together. It seems strange but It’ll make sense later on."
"Hey Yasmine, Where’s Willow’s giraffe? I can’t find it and she’s not happy." That was Max.
"I left it in my car. Here’s the key."
" Ok, brb."
Yas: Hi honey what’s wrong? Made your daddy go get your best friend? It ’s ok baby he’s coming.
Max: got it.
Yas: So demanding and strong willed, just like her parents.
Max: That’s true
Yas: Remember when we made the big decision to have her.
Max: Yea that was interesting.
Yas: Should we finally tell our friends that we’re telepathic?
Max: Idk they might think we’re insane.
Yas: They might think that anyway if we tell them we planned to have Willow without being in a relationship.
Max: It’s not like we were teenagers.
Yas: That’s true. So, when did you really get in touch with your powers?
Max: When I was 16. I didn’t know it at the time, I just thought it was weirdly accurate dreams.
Yas: I started at 15. That’s when.. I’ll get her this time. She must be hungry.
Max: ok. I’ll call Alex.
Yas: Ok
Max: Hey man.
Alex: What’s up?
Max: Your goddaughter screaming at the top of her lungs.
Alex: So everything’s normal? Got it.
Max: Yea.
Alex: so how’s coparenting with Yasmine?
Max: It’s like a partnership. How you’d expect friends with benefits to be. Except we don’t have sex anymore,
Alex: That bad?
Max: You know that’s not true. It’s just not what we want.
Alex: That sounds weird but do you.
Max: As much as I love Willow, I don’t want another kid anytime soon.
Alex: Oh I get it.
Max: Well I gotta go now.
Alex: Bye
Max: Bye
Yas: The princess has been fed
Max: I think Alex suspects something
Yas:It’s not like he’ll figure us out. He’s not a believer in the supernatural. It’s Harper you have to worry about but I don’t think she knows. Relax Max. Even if we told them, they wouldn’t believe us.
Max: Want me to stay here tonight to help you with her?
Yas: Sure. You know where the guest room is.
Max: Ok. I’ll go tell Willow goodnight
Yas: I’ll meet you there in a sec. (I had a flashback of how everything started. The first thing I’d sent to Max. The one with all the images of Willow I saw in my dreams She was adorable from when she was born to her current age of 4 months.)
Flashback to 4 years ago
Yas: I had a weird dream last night.
Harper: About?
Yas: I um I got intimate with Max. ( I wasn’t that freaked out but since I usually freak out about everything I had to make it believable.)
Harper: You had a wet dream?
Yas: Shut up.
Harper: It’s funny, You’re sexually attracted to Max.
Yas: Shut up Harper.
Harper: Calm down Yas, I’m sure it means nothing.
Yas: You’re right. ( This dream was the final piece of the puzzle. The puzzle that Willow sent for me to follow)
Harper: Well I gotta go. My dad wants me to run errands.
Yas: Ok. I’ll be here with my crazy subconscious
Harper: Maybe you like Max.
Yas: Shut up Harper.
Harper: I love you too
Yas: Bye Harper. Now Willow I know what I’m supposed to do but give me a few years. I don’t even talk to Max often. How am I supposed to get to him? How do I get to you through him? Willow, send him all the images you’ve sent me but blur out my face. I hope he doesn’t have a problem with the name Willow. I guess you can tell him that’s going to be your name. ( Of course I was working on this on a trial basis. The only way I could know if it works is to talk to Max. That was practically impossible at this stage so I had nothing to lose.) If any of this is real, I can’t tell Harper. She wouldn’t believe me. She’ll probably write it off as a coincidence.
Gianna: Yasmine, who are you talking to?
Yas: No one mom. I’m just reading out loud.
Gianna: That’s weird but ok.
Yas: ( I know it seems weird that I was talking to someone I technically hadn’t met yet but this was different. I just knew this was real. Either that or I was crazy because I believed it.)
Max: Yasmine, the princess demands your presence immediately.
Yas: Oh sorry, I got lost in thought.
Max: Here she is,
Yas: Mommy ’s here honey. Did you miss me? I’m right here.
Max: Are you ready to sleep now young lady?
Yas: Goodnight baby.
Max: Night Princess.
Yas: We have like 4 hours before she’s up again. Let’s get some sleep.
Max: Yea, That’s a good idea.
Yas: See you tomorrow.
Max: Goodnight Yas.
Yas: (Max shows up when he can. He lives kinda far but I don’t nag him or anything. I know that he’s trying. I also have help from my family and Harper. Sometimes Alex comes to take Willow to Max if The situation calls for it. I trust them because they haven’t given me a reason not to. Max has always been there when I needed him to be. We’re close but we’re not at the same time. Willow loves us both equally. I know that because of my power.)
Flashback
Max: Are you nervous?
Yas: Yes
Max: Do you trust me?
Yas: Yes
Max: Are you sure you want to do this?
Yas: Yes Max. I’m ready. ( We were both nervous but it was a necessary task. We both had a mission and were too strong willed to back down. As nervous as I was, I was also excited to take this step with Max. He was interesting, adventurous, and so kind. Everything I needed in a sexy partner. I trusted him blindly)
