Oh how cute these toddlers are...                                                      27

Bruce shook Blue's hand and handed the toddler over to him. 'As you can tell, this little one is still growing. How are you Blue, I know Patio Lynn likes to call you by your name, but I always liked the name Blue.' He winked at Bluesage as Blue grabbed the little girl. She was squirming in his arms as he settled the nipple in her mouth. 'All is quite well Bruce, it's very good to see you. I can see you still are without a good home. What happened?'

Patty stood by a little boy named Tommy Lee. He was so tiny, yet he was bigger than his brother.  He looked up at her and smiled. Patio Lynn laughed and told Tommy to give his brother to Patty. Patty sat and finished feeding the toddler. Tommy sat beside her smiling. He liked her big tummy and kept touching it.  Patio and her aunt chatted on about the home that was missing. 

'Oh it had to be rebuilt. The termites ate most of the first floor before we knew it. So Bruce and I had it bulldozed. His fiancee' Kim will be moving in with us, so we both knew the home needed to be nicer.'

The little boy was asleep, so Patty carefully put him in the stroller. Tommy wanted to play with her, so they giggled and made up funny noises. Patio began to tell her aunt of the odd behavior of Brad Burb. Patio Lynn listened intently. She looked over to see if her brother was listening. She couldn't get his attention, so she pulled Patio away from Patty and Tommy. 

'Listen to me, stay away from the Burb family. Something awful has changed and I am not sure how to explain it to you dear.' Patio looked up at her aunt and saw the frown. Of course when she saw the way Tiffany had behaved, she knew it was worse than she ever had known before. Steven watched as he talked with Bruce about Kim, seeing the body language of Patio Lynn. 

Tommy had so many questions, that Patty was almost breathless. She had not laughed so hard for so long, she had to sit down on the grass so the little boy did not strain his neck while he chatted merrily.

'Aunt Patio, you know the CEO blood is so strong, no one can tear us apart. I am stronger than an rock and probably as hard headed as one too.' That made her old aunt laugh hard. They both sat on the bench and listened and talked with Patty and Tommy. The idea of eight arms just fascinated the little boy.

'Bruce, wait I need to talk to you a moment please.' Bruce turned and they walked over to the cooler. He grabbed a couple beers and they walked around talking of the problems. Bruce admired Blue for all the courage he has shown. It sometimes was enough that it gave Bruce a strong will. That is how he found Kim and now is engaged to her. Soon they both were talking about women and how they are to live with.  

As they all sat around in the shade, munching on sandwiches and cookies, the traffic on the road began to get heavier. Their conversation was all light hearted,

with four little ones in their lives, Patio Lynn was quite busy. She and her brother helped teenage girls who did not want their baby. These four little people had to wait for a new family one day. Bruce and Kim had plans to adopt them, but he wanted to wait until later to tell Patio Lynn. 

Bluesage spoke up loudly, 'Patio, we must get back to the forest, the light is changing in the sky.' As he spoke a black SUV slowly drove by. Patio wiped her mouth and spoke quietly to Patty. 'I think you should slowly get up with me and follow Blue and I. Do not act scared, but I think someone is watching us. Patty slowly rose and picked up her purse. Bluesage took her by the arm and they slowly walked over to Patio's sports car. 

Bruce gathered the children near him. 'Stay here guys, and wave at them when they pass.' His young girl Daisy could not stop talking about the kid they saw that had eighty arms and a big head. Before the Bluesage got into the car, they turned and waved and blew kisses to the family. Then they quickly got into the car. Patio began to drive without making it look apparent they were fleeing. 

Blue sat in the back holding Patty’s hands. He had her keep her eyes closed and keep a calm breath pattern. He would try to keep her from panicking and causing an early delivery. She was much more fragile than she was even aware of. He quietly spoke to her and she listened with her heartbeat slowing down.

He whispered gently in her ear:  I am an eternal, infinite and immortal godling at the level of my true self. Peace and harmony flow through me as I connect with my higher self. The Infinite is the mender of all hearts, the mender of life's wounds, and the sustainer of all. God is life, love and goodness and so am I. As God's child, I am already perfect, whole and complete.

Soon enough they were home and safe. Steven thanked Patio for her help and gave her a blessing. She didn't know he did, but she drove away calmer and with less stress to drive like mad woman. Patty and Blue walked back to the tents. She sat while he got her some water. It was quite a day. The couple had a couple hours before their daughter would return. Blue convinced her to take a shower and he would give her a long massage. She complied and soon felt much better. ‘Blue, I’m not as tired as I was.’ He smiled and got up to tie the tent door shut
