Wish Shift: Chapter Twenty Seven
The Things That Bind You
Year 1 A.S. Day 157
Jenny looked up when Derek opened the front door. She was in the kitchen
going over some of what she wanted to do with him during the next week.
She put down the pad of paper that she had been writing ideas on down on
the counter and walked into the living room to see why he was back so
early today.
She had been busy over the last few days. In fact she had only really
left the house when she had to. As much as Derek would have liked to, he
couldn't stay here with her every day and Jenny did go to Java Jolts
with him a lot of the time, but since they were together now she also
spent more time at home. She felt she needed to get things in order
there too. She needed to be a good wife. She didn't know where that
thought had come from or the source of the strong inclination it
produced in her, but it seemed a natural enough extension of what she
had recognized about herself and Derek after she had that dream.
Mindy had been lying in wait for them when they finally came back from
their first two days together. He had told Derek bluntly to not bother
coming to work for a couple of days when Derek called him after Jenny
told him to do so that first morning. When Derek told her about it later
he said that was why he told Mindy to bite him. Derek told her after he
got off the phone, that he had the feeling that it was more like talking
to his boss than to his employee. Jenny laughed at that.
She impishly reminded him that not that long ago, while they were
dating, Mindy had been his boss in some pretty important ways. Then she
came up to him and leaned into him and kissed him. After she finished
she said in a mock serious tone that he had a new boss now though and
then turned back to finish what she was doing. She liked the look on his
face when she did that.
She thought it looked like it was a cross between being hit between the
eyes with a two by four and some degree of rapture at the idea. She
giggled to herself privately, she had already experienced that sensation
as both a man and a woman so she could relate all too well with it. They
spent the next couple of days completely insulated from everyone with
only each other and for the two of them it was right.
They had to leave the house eventually though. Even though Jenny had
arranged to have her schedule at the institute cleared for a few days,
she still had to go back for her other appointments. Her next
appointment with Dr. Warren wasn't going to go away and she really
needed to talk to him about being with Derek. Even though she felt like
she was walking around after winning the lottery the last couple of days
there were some things she wanted to discuss about it with him.
She knew that he had seen the difference between her feeling toward
Derek when they came into his office, even before she passionately
kissed him before going in. She wasn't so besotted by with being with
Derek as his girlfriend, that she was unaware that just walking beside
him now was completely different to even the most oblivious stranger.
They started into talking about it right away and after the session she
felt a whole lot better about what she had been feeling. The idea of
becoming a woman like her mother was something that she could be happy
with. And it was an easier idea for her to accept. Like all ideas that
you had already found a place for inside of yourself, defining it only
made putting it into the overall context of your life less complicated.
She said goodbye to Dr. Warren after their session concluded and took
Derek's arm and leaned into him for the rest of their walk to his Jeep.
She didn't have anything she needed to do for the rest of the day and
even though he wasn't going to stay for very long, Derek wanted to go to
Java Jolts to check up on things before he took her back to the trailer
to get a few more of her things for the next couple of days.
They walked into Java Jolts and hadn't taken more than two steps inside
before Mindy and some of the other regulars there pulled out some
noisemakers and small horns left over from New Year's and cut loose at
the same time. It was an incredible din and casual customers looked
startled as they were taken unaware by the sudden disturbance.
Jenny could feel confetti and balloons dropping from a sheet attached to
the ceiling above them while the celebration echoed in the room around
them. Jenny felt her face reddening even though she was kind of pleased
that they had gone to this little extreme. She looked up at the homemade
banner that had unfurled behind them after it had released the confetti
and balloons. In big red letters someone, probably Mindy, had written
'About time! Congratulations Derek and Jenny' on it.
Some of the other customers that were not regulars were kind of out of
it since they didn't know what was going on, but they had joined in with
the general noise the regulars were making anyway. Derek looked back at
the banner and then down into Jenny's eyes. He brushed some of the
confetti out of Jenny's hair. "Mindy killing time?" she asked him
looking up at him with a big smile on her face.
"Mindy killing time," he said back to her.
They both started making their way through the small crowd aiming for
the laughing redhead behind the counter. Derek flipped up the walk
through section and made a half bow to her. "Ladies first," he said as
she went behind the counter.
"Rangers lead the way," she said back to him with half wink and a little
smirk.
Mindy didn't even bother trying to run. He just started applauding them
with the rest of the regulars joining in as well. He gave Jenny a quick
hug and then stepped back and asked Derek when the wedding was going to
be. Derek told him to bite him again and as things started to settle
down a bit Jenny realized that Derek had not said anything back to Mindy
that denied that there would be a wedding. And she was good with that.
She didn't go back to Java Jolts for the next couple of times after that
though. She needed to get settled into what she and Derek were going to
become together now that they had stopped being just friends. As she
spent the next few days at their house. She thought about how that this
was almost exactly a repeat what she had done with Sonya when they first
started being together as a couple. She felt that same euphoria and even
though she was on the woman's side of this relationship, the same warm
glow she had felt as James gave her an inner comfort that this was
exactly the right step for her to take for them.
It just felt right for both of them and they fell naturally into it even
thought there was no discussion by either of them about whether or not
this just staying together like this the right thing to do. That
discussion was over in the moment their eyes met the morning after they
woke together. They had both just accepted that this was how things
would be now and the way they both felt at the end of the day when she
curled up against him in their bed confirmed it for them. He wanted her
here and she wanted to be here and that was enough.
But the bachelor kitchen wasn't the only thing that had to go she
decided while she was settling in there. Now that she was going to be
part of his life she was going to do it completely. Derek had lived in
this house all of his life. His parents had left their mark on it, his
aunt Dina had as well and Derek had made it his own after she was gone.
But that needed to change now.
Jenny wasn't going to overhaul his whole house, she had always hated
that when a new girlfriend did it to her. It was annoying after it got
past the 'oh that's cute phase' and she had no intention of remaking
what was his just to suit her, but she was going to make a place for
herself here.
She spent more time familiarizing herself with how he had set things up
rather than making it over in her image. But for some reason though,
especially over the last couple of days, she found herself kind of
focused on being a good wife while she was doing this. She didn't know
where the thought had come from.
She had just been happy with the idea that they were together and she
was his girlfriend now. As much as she reveled in being here with him
she knew that she wasn't going to be here all of the time. And toward
the end of the week she was looking with regret about when she would
have to go back to her trailer and get back into her paused routine.
Then for some reason, she didn't know why, she found that she couldn't
think of herself as anything other than Derek's wife now. She knew that
she had said that she wanted to marry him to her mother and she still
remembered the intensity of how that realization had gripped her after
having her own feelings come into crystal clarity.
But it felt different to her now, like it was already an accomplished
fact. She had a certainty of its actuality stemming inside of her and
she didn't know where it had came from. She knew she wanted this, that
wasn't the problem. And she knew that it would likely be before them as
the next step as well, but she also knew that she shouldn't even be
thinking about that the finality that she was right now.
She knew she loved him and she wanted to be with him, but she also knew
that they had just started this part of their relationship. It was too
soon for her to be having that kind of thought about them, even if it
was just her flittering daydream of that future life looping and
fluttering in her mind like a playful bird.
Sure she had already told mom that she wanted to marry him. If he
decided to ask her the way she felt already she was pretty sure that she
wouldn't hesitate too long before saying yes. But the last couple of
days, when she was thinking of their relationship, it was as if being
married to each other was something that was already done and she didn't
know where that certainty had come from. And it should have bothered
her, but the same certainty was also telling her that it was not worth
worrying over.
Derek stepped through the door and closed it behind him. He looked
seriously bothered when she came up to him to kiss him hello. She saw
the look on his face and knew that something serious had happened even
before he said anything. She didn't let him try to stumble his way over
how to bring up what was bothering him and asked him what it was. Derek
asked her to sit down and when they had done so he said that he needed
to go to Asheville right away. He would be leaving as soon as he could
get his things here in order for the trip.
"Why do you need to go to Asheville?" she asked him, a little thrown
aback by how upset he was. Jenny had never seen him like this the entire
time she had known him.
"Is it something to do with someone in your family?" she asked hoping
that it wasn't too bad. Derek nodded and said it was family, but not the
blood kind. He said he was sorry, but he had to go immediately and got
up from where he was on the couch.
Derek had already walked into their bedroom and had started putting
clothes into a small travel bag while they were talking. Jenny was
getting worried for him, she followed him back there and sat on the bed
listening to him as he packed.
"It's Trisha McGillan," he said reaching into the closet for another
pair of shoes and stuffing them into the bag. "She was the last woman
that my aunt Dina was in a long term relationship with before Dina
died."
"Were you that close with her then?" she asked reaching into a dresser
drawer to hand him some socks.
"She was almost like my other aunt," he said taking the socks and
stowing them away.
"So what happened to her?" she asked.
"Him," Derek corrected her, "she shifted into a thirty-eight year old
black man," As they talked while he threw more things into his bag she
found out that Trisha had moved to Asheville after Dina's funeral and
had kept in touch with Derek pretty much afterward. Trisha had also
changed from being a gay woman to being a gay man as well as becoming
slightly younger and black. She asked him what had happened. He told her
that Trisha was in the hospital now. Someone had attacked him last night
and had beaten him severely, robbed him and left him for dead in the
bushes behind the ATM.
"I'd like you to come with me," he said finishing packing the bag and
zipping it closed, "but I'm not sure that you could. I'm going to be
staying with Arnie at their place and I don't know how much room they
have. I haven't met him, but I'll probably be couch surfing as it is
while I'm there."
Jenny did want to go with him. She could see how much this had affected
him and she wanted to be there for him like he had been there for her
already in so many ways. She told him that she didn't mind doing that to
be with him for something like this and reached for her blue bag.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "I'm kind of leery about traveling too far
from your doctors. You're pretty far along and what about J.L.?" he
asked her.
She put the bag down and admitted that was something to be concerned
about, but she wanted to be with him for this. Derek told her it still
concerned him and she said that if it really was on his mind that way
that she could just stay here for the few days he was gone and get a
taxi for what she needed to do. She didn't want to be a bother to him.
He stopped cold. "Don't ever say that you're a bother Jenny," he said.
That is the last thing you are. I just am worried about Trisha and I
don't want anything to happen to you."
She told him she would be all right and said that he should get finished
packing while she got some of the perishables out of the fridge to take
to her trailer while he was gone. They stashed everything in the jeep
and left after locking up the house. The rest of the way back to the
trailer park she tried to reassure him that she would be all right and
that when he got back it would be okay for the both of them. She finally
got him to settle down about her and focus on what was important right
now, but she could see that he was torn about leaving her behind and at
the same time he couldn't not go.
He dropped her off at her place on the way to the highway and gave her a
deep kiss goodbye. He promised to call her as soon as he got there and
keep her posted as soon as he knew what the situation there was. She
watched him pull away and stood by the roadside until the red taillights
of his jeep turned at the top of the hill and disappeared from sight.
She carried the bags of perishables into her trailer and started putting
them into the fridge. She was already missing him.
By the time she had gotten ready to slip into her bed that evening,
Derek had already called her to let her know that he had gotten to
Arnie's place in Asheville safely and would be going to the hospital
with him in the morning. The only good thing she could see about
something like this happening now, was that it was easier to move around
between cities with martial law finally being relaxed to a degree during
the last couple of months.
Derek didn't need to go to the military provost for this sector and get
their countersignature for him to get on the highway and go on his way
now. The checkpoints on the interstate would log his passage and he
would be asked a few questions, but it was something that most people
put up with out of necessity for the moment.
There was already pressure from the population now that most people had
already been accounted for and could be reasonably identified as to who
they now were to end it. But inertia had set in and there was still a
way to go before this unwelcome change spawned by the Shift had passed.
For now there were still checkpoints and inquiries made that slowed down
a traveler's free movement along the highways. Even with the reduced
traffic on the highways it had still taken Derek nearly six hours to get
there.
He had gone directly to the hospital as soon as visiting hours opened
for them. Arnie told him that they had let him stay there the first
night after Trisha was brought in, but the staff made him go home and
get some sleep after it was clear that Trisha had stabilized. It was
pretty bad. Arnie told Derek that Trisha had lost her right eye and most
of the use of her left arm in the attack.
"It wasn't a robbery," he told her when he called Jenny. "They may have
taken his money, but what they wanted was to do what they did to him,"
he said. She could hear his cold anger over the phone and she shared it.
She told him that she loved him and she wished she had come with him
there anyway. He told her he loved her as well and he would be back as
soon as he could. She thought of the two scumbags who had tried to rape
her. True she had met Derek that way, but considering what it had almost
cost her she still had some regrets sometimes about not just putting
them down. She tried to put that thought out of her mind and eventually
slipped into sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 1 A.S. Day 158
Jenny called a taxi in the morning. She didn't have much to do that day,
but even as she worked her way through what she was needing to do she
still couldn't really focus as much on that. She had never been one of
those people who spend most of their waking moments glued to the screen
of her smart phone.
She actually thought that was kind of a bad contradiction to be
connected to so many and isolated at the same time. She had ridden the
subways in Shenzhen and watched the people around her doing that while
they blocked out the world around them and had its confines shrink to
the tiny screen in front of them.
It wasn't that she hadn't caught up on the news or read a book or played
a stupid little game herself, she did like everyone else had done when
they had time and that particular outlet at her disposal. But she had
also spent time just riding and watching the people around her as well.
Maybe that was just who she was or maybe it was a result of living there
as a foreigner that made her more willing to look up at what was around
her.
This was really the first time though, that she felt compelled to spend
every little bit of time that she had to occupy her attention with
constantly referencing her phone. When she thought about it she seemed
to spend a lot more time checking her phone for texts from Derek and
sending him texts of her own today. Derek didn't mind her constant
stream of messages though and he was keeping her posted as much as she
found herself asking about it.
It still wasn't that good. Trisha had been taken off of the critical
list shortly after he was admitted, but he was still in ICU. The doctors
didn't want to move him until he had fully regained consciousness, but
Trisha was still out of it. He had drifted back into consciousness for a
few minutes late last night, but the pain meds they had him on put him
right back under before long.
She thought about going to Java Jolts for the rest of the evening, and
had gotten a taxi to take her there, but once she got there she couldn't
stay for more than a couple of hours. She was just too restless and
being there while Derek was away just reminded her of that, rather than
letting her relax and not be by herself. Mindy and Jamaal were behind
the counter and they both asked her what the latest was from Derek.
Mindy had met Trisha a couple of times when he passed through town and
had stopped in to visit Derek before the Shift. He was more than a
little bothered that something like this had happened to him. He thought
that Trisha was a good person and didn't deserve what had been done to
him.
He asked Jenny what she was going to do to get around while Derek was up
in Asheville. She told him that she had gotten them to reduce her
sessions at the institute and was just relying on a taxi for a couple of
days until Derek got back. Mindy made her promise that she would call
him if she needed a ride. Jenny appreciated the offer and thanked him
and told him she would if she needed one.
She had wanted to spend much longer there, but with the heat from the
slowly fading summer and her own feelings of restlessness piling onto
her she called a taxi early in the afternoon and was home not long after
it picked her up. Even though the summer heat had started to ease off
over the last week or so it was still pretty hot most days and she could
feel the heat's effect on her when she went out. She went into the small
common room of her trailer and turned the A/C on and settled into the
chair to read for a while.
The knock on her door pulled her out of the middle of where she was in
'The Maltese Falcon. She had seen the movie on one of the classic movie
channels and had made a point of putting reading it on her list of
things to do when she had the chance to do so. She slid a slip of
cardboard that she used as a bookmark in between the pages and put it on
the counter before she stood up and walked to the door.
"Good evening, Jenny," Brother Paul said when she opened the door.
"Derek called us and asked if we could find the time to check in on you
while he was away attending to that terrible business in Asheville. May
we come in?" he asked.
Brother Paul was accompanied by a woman only a little taller than Jenny.
She stood silently to one side of Brother Paul and had not said a word
yet. He wasn't a stranger and she did know him to some small degree. She
knew that he had been at Derek's house to talk with him there once while
Derek was out, but she didn't really remember too much about his brief
visit. It must have not been that memorable she figured. And Derek
hadn't mentioned anything about this to her, but it may have just
slipped his mind because of everything else that was going on. Jenny
stepped back and let the both of them come into her small room.
"Derek didn't mention anything about him asking anyone to check in with
me," she said to him.
"Brother Derek called me a short while ago. I apologize for not getting
here earlier to check on you, but I thought it best to wait until sister
Madeline was able to come along with me." He indicated the woman beside
him. "After all, it would not look right for me to be visiting a young
woman such as yourself without another woman present."
Jenny didn't care about that one way or the other. She may be a woman
now, but she still didn't think that being concerned about that sort of
appearance of scandal would stop the speculations of small minded people
anyway. And more important, with everything else that had happened, she
didn't think many people were getting too hung up on appearances like
they might have before the Shift.
"Isn't she looking well Madeline," he said. "I must say it is good to
see a young mother like yourself so attentive to her babies well being,"
Madeline murmured quiet agreement to Brother Paul's sentiments.
"I want to be a good responsible mother," Jenny said in response to him
without thinking why she should do so.
"Of course you do," Brother Paul said. "And have you taken your pre-
natal vitamins today?" he asked. "You know how much your babies need
that extra support from you, especially now."
"No," she said, "I haven't taken them yet. I've been distracted while
keeping up with what's happening with Trisha," she said to him.
"Perhaps you should tend to that now my dear," he said smoothly.
Brother Paul watched Jenny get up and go back to her bedroom. She came
back and made her way behind the counter of her kitchen with a little
difficulty to get some water to take her dark gelatin capsule with. He
watched her swallow it without qualm and was pretty pleased that the
initial conditioning had taken so well. Getting Derek to leave her alone
though, so he would have the opportunity to take this next step had
taken a little more effort.
Of course he knew about Derek's aunt's sinful paramour. Even though he
had failed to keep Derek in the church's sphere, he had kept track of
the people who were in his life. It had been nothing more complicated
for him than the making of a phone call to arrange for the chastisement
of that particular sinner.
So many misguided souls, since the Rapture had swept over the world, had
begun echoing the heresy that these sinful ones who were like Derek's
aunt were not choosing to be the way they were. The blasphemers had
often said before the tribulation. But the example of Dina's paramour
had made it so very clear to Brother Paul that they were the ones still
deep in denial.
Here was a woman who had chosen to reject her natural desires as well as
her proper path and willfully move to sin against the Lord's design for
her. The Rapture had placed her into the body of a man and once she had
accepted her role as a man she could have continued to satisfy her
desire for women within the proper boundaries.
Instead though, he had clung to his sin and deliberately set out to
still choose to continue lusting for improper flesh to debauch himself
with. No Brother Paul did not regret the necessity of that sinful one
being punished. The punishment of that sinner had served the purpose of
the Church for now and later he would be forced to confront his own
sinful and deviant nature and repent.
Brother Derek often thought of how they should implement the cleansing
wave after the Lord had given the land over to them and as much as such
considerations usually brought him pleasure he had other priorities at
the moment.
When he had seen Derek the other day he had made certain to ensure that
he had consumed a dose of the Water of Truth while they were speaking.
Expressing concern for the welfare of that sinner in Asheville had made
Derek very open to leaving his little mud woman at her home for a few
days while he was away. Brother Paul needed this opportunity to speak
with her alone and help bring her life a little more in line with the
Lord's plan for her. He probably didn't have to use the drug on Derek,
but he wanted to be sure that there would be no interference from him
having any reluctance to depart and thus interfere with what he had
planned for this woman.
"Jenny," he said to her after she stopped talking. "You trust your
husband don't you?"
"Yes I do Brother Paul," she answered.
"Your husband trusted us to care for you while he is away Jenny," he
lied.
"I'm don't know about that, he really doesn't care much for church
types," she said.
"If you trust him, you should trust that what he has decided is best for
you, shouldn't you?"
"I do trust him."
"He only wants what is best for you."
"I know he does."
"He wants to take care of you
"Yes."
"He loves you."
"I love him too."
"He asked us to look in on you and take care of you, so you should trust
us as well."
"If that's what he wants, then I will," she said softly.
