Return to Princeton

As you stepped off the train one of the porters softly placed the pieces of luggage you and Harmony had brought along while Harmony carried the baby bag and little Anthony. You on the other hand carried a simple backpack stuffed with more baby supplies and food for little Anthony.

As the train sped off you looked around to see your aunt Sadie smiling warmly as she stood on the platform waving the two of you over before hugging you. “You made it and you brought my grandnephew as well!” Your aunt exclaimed as she quickly turned her attention to Harmony and the baby you only laughed carrying the luggage towards the parking lot where your uncle Ted stood waiting next to the Model T with a small bandage on his nose. As he saw you he quickly stiffened not saying a word before quickly and quietly taking the luggage and stuffing it into the back of the car.

He seemed jittery and jumpy especially when your aunt took the seat next to him in the front while you and Harmony sat together in the back with little Anthony on Harmony’s lap. You watched as little Anthony pulled on Harmony’s long blond locks giggling as Harmony tried to stop him.

“Anthony stop it please that hurts.” She said trying to convince her son to stop playing with her hair with no luck. You only laughed watching as Harmony struggled to free her hair from Anthony’s grasp before turning to you her eyes pleading for help.

Sighing you gently removed some Harmony’s tangled hair from Anthony’s little hands before setting him down on your lap facing you. “Are you excited to spend some time with mommy and daddy? No classes, no practice just the three of us and your family aren’t you excited Anthony!” You said rubbing what little stubble you had on your face onto Anthony’s face.

Anthony only giggled in delight laughing his little head off as you peppered with him with kisses before Harmony joined in as well tickling him as well causing little Anthony to squeal in joy as his two parents showered him with love and affection. You smiled as you gently bounced him and up down on his tiny legs. Before long however the car pulled to a stop in front of Price farm house.

As you stepped out of the car you could see your grandmother Beth rush out of the house with a look of utter joy on her face while your grandfather James sat in his rocking chair staring into the sky.

“Nathan your home! And who is this little bundle of joy in your arms?” Your grandmother exclaimed as she looked over little Anthony. “This is my son Anthony James BlackThorn.” You said as you held little Anthony against your chest. Your grandmother looked over her great grandson smiling with joy before speaking.

“So then where is his mother?” She said as Harmony soon got out of the car joining you. “That would be me.” She said as little Anthony began to stretch his arms out whining to be with his mom.

Grandma Beth Smiled as she saw how little Anthony’s face lit up immediately as he ended up in his mother’s arms before speaking. “Well Nathan, Harmony the ceremony will be tomorrow we already have it set up the only thing we need to do is get your suit and dress sizes.” She said looking at the two of you.

“Actually grandma me and Harmony are just gonna get married in our school uniforms.” You said much to your grandmother’s horror however before she could say anything however Harmony spoke up. “Yes we discussed this on the train that while Nathan has plenty of money to pay for a proper wedding we don’t really need nor want anything fancy much less an expensive dress a simple ceremony is all we need thats it.” Harmony said much to your grandmother’s intense horror.

However your aunt soon came to your rescue before your grandmother could reply. “Mom really their young and things have changed since your time don’t worry about it besides its what THEY want to do.” Your aunt said much to your grandmother’s disappointment.

“Fine I suppose however they will still be using the bouquet and corsage I bought.” She said crossing her arms. “Of course grandmother.” You said as all of you walked into the small farm house. With that you settled into the home before you saw a sight you never thought you would see.

As you stepped into the living room you came face to face with your Uncle Andrew who by the looks of it was in a full body cast on a medical bed with your aunt joining you in the living room before she placed her hand on your shoulder. “Before you ask Nathan your Uncle Andrew had a very horrible accident while he was working and needless to say will be MUCH more careful in the future isn’t that right Andrew.” She said in a weird tone.

Your uncle for his part reacted oddly as he quickly nodded his head as much as he could trying to make it as clear as possible that he would be careful. You only shrugged your shoulders before you heard your grandmother call you for dinner. You could have sworn you smelled mana burns medication on your uncle but decided it was probably best not to ask as by the looks of things it did look like he had been brought within inches of his life being ended if the full body cast was any indication of that.
