239 Gigi’s choice
Crystal watches Marbas leave her heart is heavy because she doesn't know what she should do. She burrows her face in Morrigan's shoulder and cries asking her.
"Why is everything so hard? I don't understand why Things are so hard. "
Morrigan comforts her and lets her cry till she has fallen back to sleep. Gigi watches as Uktena carries Crystal to her room. She turns to Morrigan and asks her.
"Why has the father allowed you to be so close to them? I always felt we were to stay apart from the mortals and not get involved."
Morrigan sighs and explains.
"When I lived as a human to raise my son, life was hard. I had to work long hours for very little pay and the father bound my powers so that I could not use them for personal gain. So I had to do everything as a mortal would . I began to understand how they felt and what struggles they live with. We have never been without the father. Our loyalty and faith never tested. The mortals have faith and love for him without knowing. They only feel that he is there and they have faith that he will always see them through. For me it was amazing to see people have faith that there is a God looking out fir them though they have never seen his face. They believe in us angels as well. They believe the father sends us to them to help them. For me it was a humbling experience one that I would not trade. I asked the father that if any of my blood was born with gifts that I be allowed to guide them. To help them so they always do the right thing. He kept his promise and allowed it. Before I met the mortal I fell in love with I was like most angels only doing the fathers bidding. After wards I understood more of what the father intended. These humans have the capability of emotions and they are in the extreme. I can understand how Macha lost her mind when she could not handle the emotions of a mortal. I have watched it happen many times. Our little Crystal is having a hard time because she wants to forgive and open her heart to understand Macha and Marbas, but she is still angry that they hurt the ones she loved. When she was but five years old she is the one who trapped Macha in the willow. Her powers had already been bound if she had been at full power Macha would not have continued to work her evil. Since she was able too your line and mine have been joined. Uktena and my line are joined. I think it is the will of the father that these events were allowed to take place. He has the power obliterate any existence at any time. So why did he allow Macha to wreak so much havoc. It's because he wanted us all to be connected. If you ask he will allow you to be with Xiangin and those of your line. Even if you decide to go back as an immortal. You have to decide before he calls you to him. I think that the children will love to keep their Gigi. Even if it's as a guardian angel like we are to them. They love and respect us as their family but because we have been such a part of their lives they no longer fear us. There are times I miss the days that just my name wrought fear. It's a good feeling when they come to the garden just to chat also. The choice is yours." Morrigan hugs Gigi and tells her to think about what she wants that the father will give her time to decide and to say her goodbyes. Gigi sits on the couch as she watches Morrigan leave, thinking about the emotions she has experienced over the last few days. Sighing she shimmers and is sitting in the twins room watching them sleep. Her heart warms just being in their presence. Hearing a sound behind her she sees Xiangin peek into the room.
"Hey , I heard the father has the horn now and that Macha is forever gone. So do you know what you will do?" Xiangin asks her elder.
" that is what I am sitting here asking myself. What do I want to do? I don't think I will be happy as a mortal, I don't have the emotions needed to be one. I also do not want to lose the connection I have with these children either. So what will my path be?" Gigi looks at Xiangin hoping she will be able to help her.
" well you could ask if you can be like Morrigan and Uktena. They are the celestial family, they come to help with the children's training and tell us when we are needed. That way you can do both, your bond with my children and I can continue to grow but you will still be in direct service of the father. You know I never thought I could be so happy as I am right now. I have my husband and children as well as I get to have you. It's the best of both worlds to me. I need help Gigi without my ring I do not know how to control my powers, it is not something mother taught. I'm not sure about other sirens but mother was cold and not in control. I want to be free to embrace my gifts without fear of hurting someone. Would you consider being like Morrigan and Uktena? Stay close by to teach my children and myself how to properly use our gifts. To grow the bond we have started." Xiangin pleads with Gigi to stay in their lives , that she is not ready to see her go forever yet.
Gigi hugs Xiangin feeling her warmth makes her cold heart grow. Gigi knows now what she will ask the father. Gigi tells Xiangin
" I will ask the father if I can be your family Guardian along with the others. I do not want to be mortal , I have never had the desire to be one. I do want to explore the feeling that I am experiencing with you and your children. I find that the intricate nature of these mortals needs to be understood. I also want to find the other siren clans and investigate what they have been doing. I do not want my kind to go the way of Macha and your mother. So I will say goodbye for a short time to ask the father what steps I need to take to repent for my kind. The final choice is always the will of the father. " Gigi nods to Xiangin and waves bye to her as she goes to see the father.
Xiangin has tears in her eyes as she watches her grandmother disappear into the night. Kneeling at the side of Opal's bed Xiangin begins to pray.
"Heavenly Father , I ask that you grant Gigi's wish. My children have longed for a grandmother and for someone to help me. I am grateful to you for my ring but I would like to have the control like the others have without it. I want my children to embrace their gifts not be afraid of them like I am. Father ask you to allow Gigi to be able to stay close like Morrigan and Uktena does. Let her be our Guardian. Amen" Xiangin feels her husband wrapping his arms around her.
" I know things are not easy for you, but I am proud of you. Not many women would be able to deal with my family and how things work. I know I dint say it enough for thank you for choosing to stay with me. For loving me and giving me the most amazing children. I love you Xiangin, I cannot imagine a moment without you. Whatever Gigi decides I know she loves our children and you. I could tell the moment she saw Opal and Noah. When she thought no one was watching her face softened and she would smile at them. When I saw that I knew that her heart was warming up to us. That she no longer has s cold heart. " kissing his wife's forehead Dude walks with her back to their room. He knows that his children are pretending to sleep at this point. Letting them say their own goodbyes to Gigi he takes Xiangin to bed.
Noah and Opal sit up in their beds, they heard what the grownups had said. So they know that Gigi is leaving . Calling out her her Opal takes her brothers hand so they can call her together.
"Gigi we know you have to go away for awhile, just know we love you and will be waiting for you to comeback. We know that some times you may need to go do what the father needs you to. We will be here waiting always." A silver light fills the room and in front of them appears a pair of necklaces each one has a white and black pearl. Smiling they help each other put them on and go back to bed. They know their Gigi will be back.
"Why is everything so hard? I don't understand why Things are so hard. "
Morrigan comforts her and lets her cry till she has fallen back to sleep. Gigi watches as Uktena carries Crystal to her room. She turns to Morrigan and asks her.
