Fate
Chapter 32 - Just Like A Circus
POV: Cassandra / Zac



October 31, 2006

Zac had said that Joshua was going out tonight and that we were both dressing up too. I’d been very skeptical about that but he insisted. Added, he volunteered to take Avery out as well, how he convinced his mother that it was fine for her to spend that much time around me without them was beyond me. Yet he fully shocked me when she was dropped off yesterday before I left to go get our costumes.

I’d almost fainted that their parents trusted me to take their teenage daughter shopping! Of course, before I actually left he handed me the list of things her costume couldn’t contain or be like. I think “nothing sexy” was listed at least every other line. Less skin that is seen the better, so that was interesting. Saphira had gone with us and well, we ended up getting this strange circus theme going. It started with Avery’s actually, who went with a cheetah costume. It was a dress which had three quarter sleeves, a long skirt that was printed and a vest with cheetah print that had the hood and ears. It included a tail and long black leggings with cuffs. She had black flats to pair it with.

It was Joshua’s costume that to the three of us seemed to just solidify the theme. He would be a safari lion, it was a one piece suit that zipped up the front and had a tail too! It was mostly brown with stripes and had a round white spot with brown spots in the center. Around the feet and arms was brown fur and it even had a hood that had the lion face and ears, he was going to be so adorable!

My costume was going way outside my comfort zone and I suspected Zac being the ring leader would be perfect. It was simple, comfortable, and wouldn’t be too much. His costume had black pants with a white shirt. There was then a gold vest and a red and black lions tamers type vest over that. He even had a top hat and a whip with white gloves.

They worked early today so I took the time to get Joshua’s Halloween pictures. Using our own back yard, he seemed to like the outfit which would be perfect. I didn’t take a ton of pictures because I had limited positions without some support and I was sure that we’d get more tonight. Saphira was going to meet us for a little bit. Her outfit was straight up sex. It was a one piece skin tight outfit that zipped up the front, it was designed like a tiger and even had the ears. She fit with the theme well. Even if she would only be there a little while.

Since we were official, he had asked me nicely to move my things from the spare room to the master. It felt a little pushy but it also felt right. So, I had done that Sunday and Harper and Taylor had been guests that night, which they did get a little more of my background because Taylor politely asked about my soon to be ex-husband. Zac had told me the next afternoon that he knew why Calvin was so sketchy in this area and with his family.

Calvin had dated one of their cousins before he met me. He’d hit their cousin and her brother had gone ballistic on him. Apparently, Calvin ran to Oklahoma City to get away from their cousin. But, the last name was Hanson so it totally explained why he hated the area and the name. I hadn’t said anything to him but, it was probably why she didn’t ensure Joshua had been taken care of as well as he should, which rather pissed me off. But it did mean he may leave me alone knowing I was here with Zac.

Diana and Walker brought Avery over about two. I was yet against stunned.

“Guess what Cassie!” She said.

“What?”

“I get to stay! Assuming that Zac is okay with it.”

I glanced at her parents. “I’m sure Zac won’t mind at all. I know I don’t.”

“She has an overnight bag with her and we’ll pick her up tomorrow at the studio.” Walker said.

I let her inside and stepped out a bit. “Are you both okay with me being around her though?”

They exchanged looks. “Honestly, no. But, Taylor has pointed out that Avery does like you and that Zac is her brother and he wouldn’t do anything that would compromise her safety. Therefore, if Zac trusts you then we feel she will be safe with you.”

“I have no intention of causing anyone harm. Not Zac, not the other two boys, or your daughters.”

“We thank you for choosing a costume that is very appropriate.” Walker said.

Yeah, let’s not mention mine to them. “Certainly. She isn’t an adult and that is age appropriate.”

“She said it fit the theme too, apparently you are all going as some circus animal?” Walker asked.

“Yes. Zac’s our ring leader and she is the cheetah, Joshua the Lion and I chose a Macaw. My friend will be a tiger but she won’t be with us but thirty minutes or so.”

“It’s fine. Zac knows she is here we were going to bring her there but he said they were trying to get caught up. Um..how are you feeling?” Diana asked.

“I feel fine.”

“Taylor mentioned that a man had hit you a week or so ago, he said you were hurt but didn’t say how badly.”

“Yeah, he um hit me pretty hard. Bloody nose mostly and a few bruises but I’m fine now. Zac made sure I was okay.”

“Good. He said he couldn’t tell us who the man was, but assured me that he wouldn’t come around Zac.”

“He won’t.”

“Okay, we’ll we’re going to head out. Um, if you need anything Avery has our numbers.”

“Okay. Have a good afternoon.”

They smiled and left and I was left feeling somewhat awkward that Taylor had basically stood up for me to their parents. I went back inside and Avery was waiting.

“I tried to tell Mom I’d be fine with you.”

“I had to make sure they were okay with me though, they haven’t quite been that supportive of me.”

She snorted. “That’s because they feel like you’ll do like Megan. That you’ll hurt Zac somehow and that he’ll be left with another kid. You won’t do that right?”

I smiled and wondered if she really was fourteen. “No. If Zac and I have a child you can count on me to stick around.”

“Good. So, Mom won’t let me skip on homework unfortunately.”

“Joshua should be up in about an hour. Take the whole table if you need to.”

She smiled and got her papers and went to the dining room. It was so strange to have her here and be responsible for her too! I did help her with anything she asked about and she was entertaining Joshua while I fixed dinner when Zac got home.

“I totally didn’t think Mom would drop you off.”

“Pft, left me and ran about two.”

He laughed. “Sorry Cassie.”

“Are you kidding I got to fix dinner without having a heart attack because he rolled under a table. Which, dinner will be done soon, it’s simmering now.”

“Saphira still meeting us at 7:30?”

“Yep. She’s going to grab some pictures for us and then we can head out.”

We weren’t going very far, mostly for Avery than Joshua because well, there wasn’t anything he could have.

“You going to tell me what you are now? It is Halloween.”

“No. You have to wait until she’s ready.” Avery said.

“She’s been around you too long already.”

“Sorry. But, hey! She is staying.”

“I heard.”

When dinner was ready we all sat down, Joshua bounced at the table and I even gave him some more cereal. After dinner everyone went to get ready, it put me in the room with Avery to change but she didn’t mind and neither did I. In fact she was a great help with the lacing on the back of mine and the feather tail.

“He’s going to really like this one.”

“I sure hope so.”

I had borrowed make up from Saphira in bright blues for the eyes and I got red lipstick. Her red heels were going to be the death of me though.

-Zac-

Ring leader? It was the first time I was seeing my own costume and she’d gotten me a ring leader outfit, complete with whip.

“Joshua what is she trying to say? That you are all just wild animals?”

He smiled at me and then of course I got his and oh, he’s a lion.

“Well, this is interesting…”

I got dressed first, finding the outfit comfortable, it wasn’t tight or too loose. Kind of made me look spiffy even! Once I was ready I got him ready. Clean diaper and then the outfit which just fit him so well and he didn’t even mind the hat, which, considering it would be cooler outside, the hat would be fine. When we were ready I went downstairs where Avery was sitting on the couch with her costume on.

“Cheetah..I’m sensing a theme here.”

“Hey, recon you can run the circus tonight?”

“I wouldn’t dare but…where is Cassie?”

“She poked herself in the eye and it caused them to water, she had to fix her make up.”

Make up? I didn’t even think she wore make up! While I waited on her I got his diaper bag ready and even went ahead and got the bottle ready, he’d have to eat on the way thanks to help from Avery. I heard the heels on the steps and I’d only really seen her wearing heels once and that was my birthday. I turned to the steps about the time she came into the room and I am sure I stopped breathing.

Her costume was mostly red, while it wasn’t my favorite color by any means at this very moment it was! Her main piece was a solid red, shiny strapless dress that was so short, it flared out with red tulle under the main piece and I really wondered if she paired it with red panties. There was soft little pillows of cleavage and red glittery heels. But what made it stand out was the bright wings that started as red and then went to yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and then red. She did a spin and the tail feathers cascaded from her lower back over her ass and almost down to the floor. If she wore stockings, I didn’t see them. Her hair was down but a red feather stuck out on one side.

That make up was nice though, blue eye shadows that just made her eyes pop even more and bright cherry red lipstick.

I felt the stab of a nail in my arm. “You may want to stop drooling on your son Zac.”

“He won’t mind. He drools on me all the time.” I said.

“I take it then you approve?”

“Very, this little theme though, cute.”

“Saphira is a tiger if it helps.”

I rolled my eyes and we got everything loaded. As we drove to the meet up spot Avery fed him, making sure to keep him clean. When we arrived Saphira was waiting and I glanced at Cassie.

“That’s no tiger I’ve ever seen.”

“Never said it was fluffy kitty.”

We got out and I got Joshua making sure he was clean still. Saphira mainly met us to take some group pictures because well, it’s hard to take them of us when we’re both in the picture. Cassie did take several without her, Joshua and Avery, the three of us, me and him. But I pretty much was prepared to beg for ones of her and him and singles. Once we had the pictures out of the way Saphira walked with us for about thirty minutes before she cut off and headed to an adult party, one Avery couldn’t even go near apparently.

We walked slowly, mostly because we were walking to doors with Avery and him. Joshua seemed to be okay with the host of costumes but at the end of the first street Cassie refused to walk down the sidewalk with him, so I walked with Avery, probably a good thing. Half way down some guy jumped out with a chainsaw and scared the hell out of us both, I’d imagine had she brought him down that would have ended our night.

We took turns carrying him but I noticed about half-way down the third street she moved Joshua in front of her and her grip around him seemed tighter, I assumed that maybe he was getting sleepy, doubled that assumption when she asked me for his blanket. I was standing with her at the end of a rather long driveway and she got closer to me, it was an automatic reaction to put my arm around her.

“As much as I am enjoying this, I think I would rather enjoy being at home taking this off of you.”

“You don’t want to cash in on the candy?”

“Why? You’re much better.”

“Guess I’m glad I added a lot of foundation, hide the redness I know is there.”

I leaned down some. “I do have to ask…red panties too?”

“I’m not saying anything and you’ll just have to find out later.”

Joshua moved and she adjusted him to more laying but she covered his head up.

“Why are you covering his head up?”

“Because I think some fan has figured you out, I’ve noticed the same person with the same costume has been down every street we have. She stops at every house and in fact she’s about ten feet behind us right now. It’s why I took him from Avery because her grip isn’t going to be that good.”

“You want me to take him?”

“I have him, I mean if we had the carrier I’d feel better but the blanket at least keeps him covered. He’s getting tired too.”

I looked behind us but there were dozens of people on the street and I didn’t recognize anyone. We moved to another house and this time I watched around us. I spotted her behind us, it was a red costume with a white and black pattern down the front, off the shoulder sleeves, lots of ruffles, and even though her face was covered mostly by the face mask, I knew who it was.

Avery insisted I walk with her down the scary driveway and Cassie said it was fine, she had Joshua covered still. I knew that she wouldn’t let anyone else take him so I went with Avery, I could see her standing a little behind Cassie and she had her phone out but I knew Joshua was covered well.

I reached her and we walked a few more houses down and she stayed just behind us. We stopped at the end of the street and crossed and Joshua whined, she had to uncover him some but she left the little hood on, which obscured most of his face anyway. It was the last street we were doing and I could tell he was starting to be over it and I kind of wanted that costume in the floor somewhere.

We walked up to one house and an older lady was there giving out candy. I could imagine we looked like a rolling circus! She smiled when we approached.

“Oh my! This is maybe the best family themed costumes I have seen.”

“Thank you.” Cassie said.

“You’re daughter is so cute and your son is so precious in that costume, he’s so sweet.”

“Oh…She’s my baby sister not my daughter.” I said.

“Oh, well still.”

Cassie started to say something but she asked how old Joshua was before she could even say anything.

“He’ll be five months in about ten days.” I said.

“He’s precious, actually kind of looks like his mother, the same little cheeks and dimples. You guys have a great afternoon.”

“We will ma’am, thank you.”

When we turned around I saw her standing five feet behind us, I couldn’t make out her face at all because of the mask. I moved around and blocked her view of Joshua and we went on down the street. We hit the next several houses before reaching the end and by then Joshua was getting fussy.

“I think he’s wet. The outfit is kind of causing me issues to tell.”

“I’m sure he is…But..”

“Zachary. Don’t even go there, your sister is right here.”

Avery rolled her eyes. “It’s fine Cassie. I know about sex and stuff. I mean, I know that to have Joshua he’s no innocent little flower.”

Cassie and I were both stunned at that. I didn’t even know how to respond so I didn’t, just lead them to the truck. She put him in the car seat and since he was starting to cry more she sat back there with him. I headed home from there and when we arrived he was not happy, so she took him. Cassie got him changed in the living room and Avery got his pajamas, but he didn’t quite calm down so I went ahead and fixed a bottle.

“He’s probably just tired.”

“Can he sleep with me?” Avery asked.

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.” I said.

“Why not?”

“He may roll off the bed if you don’t wake up when he does.” Cassie said.

“Can his crib roll into the other room?”

They both looked at me and the idea that I’d have her alone without him in the room was enough for me to try it, it was a tight fit but it made it and that’s where she laid him down when he was done. Avery got ready for bed while he fell asleep and we assured her, the door wouldn’t be locked.

Red solid lace panties was what she’d chosen and that was just perfect. I had to get pictures though before I got that suit off, because it was too perfect and too sexy not to. Getting it off really wasn’t that hard. We did shower after the amazing sex though, and I checked on both Avery and Joshua before we actually went to bed.
