Body Swap With My Future Mate

Chapter 20 - Bonding Time

*Samuel*

The car pulled up into the driveway. Samuel slowly took his seatbelt off whereas Francine quickly threw hers off and bounded out of the car. Samuel rolled his eyes and jumped out of the car to run after her. Luna Ophelia met them at the door. Francine enveloped her legs in a bear hug. "Mummy!" Luna Ophelia smiled and gently pulled her away. "Hello and welcome home." Samuel awkwardly walked up to her with his hands behind his back. Luna Ophelia held her hand out to Samuel and he gingerly took it.

"Come on you two. homework time. You can sit at the table in the kitchen and have cookies and milk." Francine happily followed along behind her mother and Samuel went along with them. Pack members were curious about Samuel, or rather Francine in his body. She was being her usual bubbly self, in his body, He shuddered. They went into the kitchen and the staff were staring. Luna Ophelia was smiling and introducing 'Samuel' as Francines mate, to the kitchen staff and they all welcomed him. Samuel and Francine sat at the table and passed him his books.

She poked her tongue out at them. "You can have your work back. Its too hard." She pouted in a cute way and he had to turn away from the look she niow had on her face. He hissed at her for the fourth time that day; "Don't look at me with that look on my face" She laughed and shoved a cookie into his mouth. "Give me my homework bozo." He huffed again and slid her workbook and a story book across the table. Samuel sat infront of his school backpack and unwillingly took out his school work. When he opened his book there were "This is boring..." and "My human is worm..." written across his page with various doddles.

He crossed his arms and sternly asked Francine. "What is this?" Francine giggled. "Alaric was getting bored." Samuel rolled his eyes. " I can see that." He opened his history book and then he looked at Francines tiny fingers. She was eagerly and very easily completeing her school work, she had Alarics help. Samuel sighed and tried to do his work, but was quickly getting frustrated with Francines writing ability. Francines mother came over and quietly whispered to him asking if he needed help. He looked at her with astonishment and nodded.

She sat down and helped both children with thier work. The whole time, Samuel was concious of the kitchen staff watching them. Luna Ophelia was with them so he assumed it was ok and he relaxed for the first time in a day. He had written a draft on what he ws going to present. he would find some pictures on the war and Luna Ophelia said she would pick up some black cardboard on her way home from work tommorrow. With that Samuel stood up and stretched. Luna Ophelia placed some cookies and milk on the table.

Samuel was aghast while he watched francine scoff a whole cookie into her mouth followed by half the milk. She grinned. "Thankyou Mu....Ah Luna." Samuel was relieved that she was finally using her manners while in his body. The kitchen still hummed with activity as dinner was now being prepared. Samuel stood up and cleared his throat. In his best impersenation he said sweetly to Luna Ophelia, "Mummy, I'd like a bath now." Luna Opehlia weakly smiled. "Of course sweetheart." He smugly looked at Francine who sulked because Samuel was getting her mothers attention, but then She turned to Francine.

"Come along Samuel. You can use the guest room, while you are with us.." She quickly shut her workbooks and jumped up to join them. Luna Opehlia went and ran the bath for Samuel and then while it was bubbling up, she went and turned the shower on for Francine down the hall, before they left however, Francine ran to the guest room and back again. She came back holding his Elmo loofer. He was surprised and he greatfully took it from her. Luna Opheli came back and stopped the bath and he climbed in.

The warm water felt nice and he indured Luna Ophelia washing his long hair. When he finished he was hwled out of the bath and into Francines room. There was a fresh nightdress on the bed and Samuel sighed as he put it on and climbed into bed. He kicked Francines favourite unicorn teddy off the bed snd rolled over. Samuel roled over as there was a knock on the door, followed by small footsteps. He sighed and rolled back over. Francine hsd picked up her unicorn teddy and was hugging it to her chest, much to samuels disgust.

Her weak reply made him soften however. "Samuel, I missed my Mummy and Daddy. I even missed my Grandpa." He reached out and patted her on the head. "Just go to sleep. We will figure things out so we can swap bodies as soon as possible, then things can go back to normal." He rolled over, but her sniffling didnt stop. "But what if we are stuck like this? Your daddy and mummy are scarey." He sighed, which was becoming his habit now and rolled back over to face her. "Moon Goddess wouldnt have done this without a reason.

We have to believe that. Think of this as a game, I mean you can do anything while in my body, and you have Alaric to help you." She nodded and her sniffling stopped. He then gruffly said "Now get to sleep, I believe your bed is big enough for the two of us and we have school again tomorrow." her tiny voice came back with "Ok. Goodnight Sam." He stayed still in place after she called him sam. He smiled, No one had called him that in quite a while, and he had to admit it was nice coming from her. He closed his eyes and waited for tomorrow.
