Travis seemed the most stunned among everyone that his new girlfriend's friends weren't too shocked by him. He thought Stephanie would be the most shocked by all of this, but she seemed to have a very sympathetic smile on her face.
"I...I really don't know where to start." Travis said unsure of what to say now. Stephanie gently held his hand smiling. "It's okay if you want us to go first and tell you about us." Stephanie said as Travis nodded.
"Well, I guess most of us met up thanks to myself and Nat," Rei began. "Nat and I first met and got into a relationship and only later did she tell me that she was a dhamphir. I got some wizard powers not too much later and we got into babysitting that made us meet others who have....interesting lives like Stephanie's cousins." Rei said.
"Yeah, my mom, Ann has a niece, which would make her my cousin, who also has some magic. My other mom, Jackie is also a wizard too. Like I told you before, I may not be related by blood but I still think of them as my moms." Stephanie said.
"Then we met Miles and Miranda and hung out with them. Afterwards we met Connor and Spark, after meeting their family we've been through a lot of stuff with them." Nat said.
"Oh yeah, so much, Connor and I met my parents and siblings, we found out we're kind of engaged, I've seen my sexy boyfriend without his shirt several times..." Spark began listing off.
"Spark!" Connor said to his girlfriend as he began blushing. "What I was just telling them....oh, you meant related to the magic stuff. Ahem, yeah, so I'm a fairy, and Connor is from a family of demon hunters, but we've seen not all supernatural people are bad, blah, blah, blah."
"So what about Amara there?" Travis asked. "Well she's actually a marra called 'Amara', we know, it's not the most subtle name, but I still love her. Right mi amore?" Miranda asked as Amara looked at her and instead of saying anything, Amara grabbed Miranda by the face and pulled her in for a kiss, which surprised Miranda but she still returned the kiss back.
"Anyway, my sister is also a magical girl, you know like those Japanese cartoons? So I think that mostly covers up our history." Miles said as Chenoa crossed her arms and revealed her deer legs and began tapping them on the floor.
"Oh! Right, and my beautiful, and lovely girlfriend Chenoa here is a deer girl. We saved her parents not too long ago, and there's no one else amazing I could have met." Miles said saving himself as Chenoa kissed his cheek.
Travis took everything in and then took a deep breath and began his own story.
"So yeah, I'm the son of life and death. My parents had other kids before me. But more like personifications of themselves, but they are the original...ones, I guess you could say. I have some touches of my mom and dad in me. I don't really like using either one of my parents powers, but sometimes it comes out in good ways and bad ways." Travis explained.
"Wait a minute? So back when we first kissed, that's why it felt like like...very happy?" Stephanie asked.
"Yeah, some of my powers are I can make people feel very happy or very sad depending on my mood. Since I'm also the son of life and death, I can see a little in the future, but that's a little complicated as the future is ever changing." Travis said.
"I know someone like myself is much more than what you're....usually used to. But I just wanted to make friends and live a good life like my parents want." Travis commented.
"It's scary, I know, trust me. Do you think my moms immediately told me about magic first? No, they waited until they thought I was ready. I know you didn't want to come out right away and say you were the son of life and death, but I'm glad you did. But I didn't fall in love with you because you were the son of life and death. I fell in love with you, because you're Travis, Travis." Stephanie said as Travis leaned in and kissed Stephanie on the lips and after they broke apart, Stephanie could feel her heart beating fast.
"So, uh...anyway, is there anything you guys do around here for fun?" Travis asked.
"Oh, well, we did get these for when Connor's brother and sister get older. But we could have a water balloon fight?" Spark suggested.
"What, why would we want that?" Connor asked.
"For fun, why else?" Spark said as everyone began to make their way outside.
"We're going to bring little Aaron out too, so be careful playing with him." Rei said as she and Nat grabbed Aaron and made sure he wouldn't be too hurt.
Spark pulled Chenoa, and Stephanie aside to speak with them alone.
"You girls know why I did this, right?" Spark asked the two of them.
"Uh, you said for fun, right?" Chenoa asked.
"That, but think of it girls. Water balloons, a hot summer day, wet clothes, our boyfriends will have to take off their shirts..." Spark said as she, Chenoa, and Stephanie now all began to blush as they looked at their boyfriends and waved.
"Stephanie, he's going to be a keeper." Spark said winking at Stephanie.
