“Exactly…. My wife is virginal. Since I don‘t have any money for additional basic

 

necessities, like condoms or a birth-control treatment for her, we haven‘t been able to consummate our marriage because I fear passing on the damned virus. I don‘t care if I have it, I just don‘t want to leave anyone else infertile. That‘s the worst thing that can be done to someone that wants to start a family, obviously.”

 

“Is your new marriage in danger of getting annulled?”

 

“I thank God that it isn‘t, because we adopted my three children, which their mothers were unable to support, and since she‘s not sexually active yet, she‘s been able to subside her sexual needs. I thank God every day for giving me a wife like Anna Maria.”

 

“…Anna Maria; that‘s Godmother‘s youngest daughter!”

 

“You know Anna Maria and her mother? Her mother‘s your godmother, Kay?” “Yes.”

 

“Perhaps I should arrange a reunion between the two of you. If you start living with Anna Maria, that‘ll drive her mother, Mrs. Lovett, to come down to the Sunshine State and have her husband start a Floridian Church.”

 

“That would be great. Godmother and Godfather have wanted to do that forever. Fortunately, time is the only thing that‘s gotten in their way.”

 

“Time is not an impediment for them anymore!” Robinson yelled, with his most excited voice yet. “This is so convenient for me because my enterprise needs her to come down here as soon as possible. We need her financial support to keep going. I‘d really hate to cancel my singers‘ contracts just because we don‘t have the money to promote their albums.”

 

“Oh, my God, Rob, you never told me about your singers‘ careers being at stake.” “Well, they are. I think that the only thing that would make Elder and Dr. Lovett refrain

from supporting our company is the fact that we only produce secular music.”

 

“That‘s not a problem. With Godmother and Godfather‘s help, you could either start producing and recording Christian music, or help them to start a Christian Record Label with the lovely hands of your builders. What do you say?”

 

“I say that I finally got the chance to repay your godparents for their support even before they gave it to me. Praise the Lord, God; you‘ve finally made me feel your presence!”

 

“We love you, Jesus!” Heber and Kay called out in unison. They called it out so loudly that they got their Christian neighbors excited and made their Non-Christian neighbors curious.

“OK, so let‘s go to my house, guys, which is also your house.”

 

“My dear Robinson,” Heber replied, “you‘ve made Kayla feel at home even before literally and physically letting her into your home.”

 

That day, Kay and Robinson decided to get married. They understood that they were right for each other and one couldn't let the other get away. Kay was human and Robinson was supernatural, but they knew that they could make it. They knew that they belonged together. They were going to pull it off no matter what. They went to court and got their marriage licenses. The next day, they got married in court. There were no guests. For that, they would wait for their religious wedding, which would happen very soon. Everybody received them at home with a big party. They were so happy they couldn't contain themselves. They had made a special three-layer cake. The first layer was chocolate, the second layer was vanilla, and the third layer was strawberry. It was covered in chocolate frosting, absolutely decadent. They partied and danced all night, like there was no tomorrow. Then, they went to visit some friends and finally called it a night at four o'clock AM.
