    How Green Becomes Wood

    Daizi's cheering spurred Xander on, and he yelled it again with her, loving every second. This was the most fun he'd ever had with Daizi! Possibly with either parent ever, but especially Daizi. Although horse ride came in at a close second. ~~ "Could you do some nail art? Something...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "Totally one of the people he saves, except I hope we don't get dropped and caught again. I always thought that looked really painful," Xander said. He kept his eyes closed and waved his hands in the air. "Freeeeeeeedom!" ~~ "Absolutely. Walla, indeed!" Alec snickered. He turned to watch...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander laughed. "We are flying!" He did close his eyes as asked. "Oh, wow, this is even better! This is awesome! Awesome!" He didn't have any other words. He was practically as giddy as Alec. ~~ "Did you really just play the 'English isn't my native language' card?" Alec giggled, trying...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander saw what Daizi was doing and hesitated. Then he took a deep breath and let go, flinging his arms out. It was terrifying! Yet thrilling and freeing! "This is awesome!" Xander yelled. ~~ "Oh, I see. That's, um, that's very nice," the woman said uncertainly. "Well, I should let you...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander, for his part, hid a smirk as the operator helped Daizi, knowing she didn't need it that much. At least it was over an actual safety issue instead of something stupid. He got himself bucked and found a safe place to grip as the boat accelerated. He gasped audibly when they jerked up un...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "It's like 'normal size' completely doesn't exist anymore, but I can't figure out what the size and body shape is supposed to be. The pants I had were the same brand and everything, and they don't stretch that much, so I don't get it," Xander grumbled. "Alec fits better because he has less...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "Nice," Xander told her, low-key impressed. "'Cept now men's pockets are shrinking now, too. Heck, men's pants are shrinking. Last time I went pant shopping, I got the same size I always do, and I couldn't get them over my thighs. I checked my comfiest fitting pants before i left the house...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "I don't scream. Ever," Xander sniffed, conveniently forgetting about the fish from the night before, "and certainly not because of a bit of height and wind. I'll be fine. Oh, but they might not let you keep your sunglasses. If they fall, they're gone. Do you have a pocket for them?" ~~...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander immediately hated his life jacket for the way it rode up around his ears no matter how many times he tugged it down, but there was no getting out of wearing one. Finally, he got it situated properly so it wasn't tickling his earlobes and settled down to wait. He watched the current...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander felt Daizi's hand on his back and tensed. His instinct was for a much stronger reaction, and even a few months ago he would have followed that instinct, but he'd been fighting hard to at least tolerate some touch. It still didn't feel good. It still felt like an electrode being shoved...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander carefully touched Daizi's forearm with just his fingertips when they were around more people, guiding her out of the way of kids or people carrying beach supplies since neither group were known for paying attention. As it was, he nearly got nailed in the head with an ocean kayak. The...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander had already switched into his black swim trunks and a long-sleeved red shirt. He didn't have to worry about his hair, and he was in the middle of trying to get his water shoes on. "Ready," he assured her. "Let's go try not to die out on the water." ~~~ "I think I'll go with this blue...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "Sounds like it really sucked," Xander agreed. "At least you don't have to worry about that anymore." He smirked slightly. "Now you have to worry about what you can and can't do with a mini you attached at the hip. So much easier." He moved ahead and opened the door for Daizi just because...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander lightly indicated the correct direction for the rental. "I bet that felt like a cage. A while back, Alec was telling me about these things called the ugly laws? Back in like 1870 something or whatever? Where basically 'unsightly' people weren't allowed in some cities. It sounds...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "You bet!" Xander agreed, feeling this was possibly the most exciting thing he'd ever done with Daizi. It didn't help that a lot of their relationship had been hindered by pregnancy and baby things, but now Daizi was free and clear to do whatever she wanted. He was looking forward to seeing...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "That's a good point," Alec agreed. "I doubt you'd be able to touch much at the wildfowl one, but there had better be a lot to listen to! I'll look into it tonight, too, but you should probably check yourself in case I miserably miss something." "I doubt it'd be that bad, but food's coming...

    "I like that idea!" Alec agreed. "Mama, you and I can go to museums! Or art! Or both! Probably only one." Xander snickered. "Already dumping me, eh?" "Absolutely," Alec said with a smirk. "I know we've been together a long time, but I think it's time to move on."

    "I think I only want hands," Alec mused. "I've never done feet. Do you do feet? I've never noticed." "Looks like they have one slot open for two," Xander said as he booked the parasailing appointment. "Looks like it'll be a lot of fun."

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "Sure, we can do a boat," Xander agreed, a tiny bit relieved. "I mean, the birds might have pretty cool, I dunno. I don't know birds." "You two should totally do something like that!" Alec agreed. Xander considered. "What about a parasailing thing for two?"

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "There's... a wildfowl museum, a surf and rescue museum, and there's a mermaid art place and a art gallery," Xander said uncertainly. "I don't know how you feel about mermaids." "Mermaids are creepy," Alec stated, who only knew mermaids from the The Little Mermaid and that one Harry Potter movie.
