Ashley walked up to Cassie and looked up through the hole and saw the moon. Suddenly alarms started blaring and Glen activated his com, Your Majesty, something has blow a ten foot hole completely through the moon.
Glen looked at Cassie and said over the com, Stand down. Theres no danger to our planet. Well make an announcement later about what happened.
Ashley and Jenna were shocked silent and could only stare at Cassie. I really didnt want to have to demonstrate my power but I see youre having difficulty understanding whats happening. This is a psychic event that all the others were pushing us toward. It cannot be slowed or stopped.
Ashley moved back to the throne and sighed, When and where do you want to hold the wedding ceremony.
There will be no ceremony. You will marry Trey and I over the communications channel.
Jenna started shaking her head and Cassie looked at her mother with love in her heart, If we physically come together in this universe there is a good chance that all life in it will be snuffed out. Cassie watched the shock on everyones faces and said, We are going to have to go to a dead universe in order for us to complete the release.
Carter said, Will the event kill me?
No, but you are the only one in creation that wouldnt be if youre close to the event.
Why cant you release yourselves and then come and have your wedding?
Cassie smiled, Oh dont think that I dont want a wedding. Ive dreamed about it all my life; but Im old fashioned and I know that when I finally touch Trey there will be no holding me back from loving him completely. We will be married before that happens. The ceremony will take place when we return.
Ashley smiled, Where are you going?
To have a conversation we should have had long ago.
Jenna looked at her daughter and saw the beautiful woman she had become. Her long black hair hung to her shoulders framing a face that was almost ablaze with her excitement. Her blue eyes were shining. She stood and walked over and hugged her tightly. Cassie held her Mother as her tears fell, Thank you so much for my wonderful life.
Jenna looked at Ashley and nodded. Ashley looked at Glen and he started talking on his com. Cassie, thought to Trey, Youre about to get a call from my Grandfather. Please take it.
Whats going on?
Youre going to marry me.
Oh, I was worried it was something bad.
This is Trey Robbins, why are you trying to reach me?
I have been asked by my Granddaughter to marry the two of you. Are you prepared to make the promises?
Ive been ready my entire life, Your Majesty.
Jenna felt her tears as Ashley stared, Do you Scotty Robbins the third promise to honor, love, and cling to.
Carter looked at his Daughter and felt her power. Now he felt complete. All the questions he always had about his mental ability were answered. He knew his Daughter was marrying the absolute best person for her as he hugged Jenna tightly and felt the hearts of the two most important women in his life. Now he could release his own demons.
Trey teleported to the HMS Scotty Robbins, Are the two of you comfortable?
I feel quite at home but Im not certain how all these systems are going to be powered. They dont appear to have connection to the star that was absorbed into the hull.
Alex, Im sure Trey will explain how it all works.
Youre right Grace. Im going to expand my psychic aura for a moment and I want you to tell me what happens. Trey closed his eyes and expanded his aura until it was outside the ships hull.
Holy!
Watch you language, Alex! Theres a lady present.
What happened, Alex?
All systems are active and power readings are at forty percent.
Good, heres whats going to happen. Were going to teleport to a dead universe momentarily and once we arrive, you will turn on the absorption system.
What are we going to absorb?
Grace, Cassandra Reese and I are going to come into contact and there will be a release of psychic energy unlike any in the history of creation. I have designed this ship so that fifty percent of that release will be absorbed by the hull. The rest will be released into creation.
Will be affected by that release?
I suspect you will but you will not be damaged.
If thats the case, I humbly request that I be present when it happens.
I also ask to be there.
Greyson, Jessica, Im unsure of what effect it will have on you.
Even so, I want to be there.
Trey ran the possibilities through his consciousness and saw that the danger level was lower if they attended, You may come with us.
I will be coming with the Defense Facility as well.
Trey smiled, You are also welcome, Gilene.
I will also be attending.
BC, it wouldnt be the same without you.
I wish Anglo was here to go with us.
Me, too, BC. Trey smiled and sent the universal coordinates to Grace. His excitement grew and he said, Lets get this show started.
The ten mile wide brightly glowing globe disappeared.
Cassie sat with Jenna and Carter and waited for Trey to contact her. She held her Mothers hand and said, Everything will be fine. Dont worry about us.
Jenna shook her head, If anything happened to either of you my life would be over.
Cassie smiled and said, No, there is more to your life than just us.
Jenna looked at Cassie as she said, Im going to have a brother before the year is over.
Jenna and Carters eyes grew wide, What!
Youll be hearing him soon.
Jenna grabbed Carter around his neck and started crying. Carter held her tight and smiled at Cassie, That news comes at a rather stress filled moment.
Cassie smiled, I know but it is joyous news.
Who is he coming here for, Cassie?
Cassie started shaking her head, You never cease to amaze me, Dad. Who would you guess?
I imagine TKs daughter is going to need a match.
Just dont tell her until its time.
Carter smiled, Mums the word.
Cassie, were here.
They heard Treys thought and Carter stood and took Cassies hand, How do you want to go?
Pyle has asked to take us if it meets with your approval.
That would be great. Pyle, are you up for this?
I wouldnt miss it.
Jenna hugged them and watched them teleport away. She sat and listened and she thought she felt a thought. She was going to have a son. She looked up at the ceiling and thanked the Creator for the precious gift. She remained still and thought about all the memories of raising Cassie. She felt a warm glow inside her.
Chapter Eighteen
Pyle arrived in the dead universe and saw the Robbins surrounded by the other Zeta ships. Even the huge Defense Facility was hanging in space not far from the gathering. Carter looked at Cassie and smiled, So, how do we do this?
Cassie tore her gaze from the display and shook her head, I feel myself being pulled to Trey. You cant allow us to physically make contact without you between us.
Im not clear on what you mean by that.
You are the initial link that will control the release of our psychic power. You must prevent us from rushing into a premature contact. Take my hand and dont let go. If Trey rushes forward you must use you other arm to keep him away. Once you touch both of us the release will start and you must keep us apart until you sense it stabilizing.
Why am I so critical to this, Cassie?
