“I’ll watch the kids for you Keith,” Robin McAllister tells the giant.  “You and your wife need to talk.”

Keith gently put his kids back down on the balcony.  Steve patted Keith on the back on his way out of the room.  Charles Kramer followed Robin and the children.

“Dad,” Kathleen stopped her father.

“Kathy, this is between you and that giant over there.  I think you really need to hear him out.  Keith hasn’t been all that bad to you.  You at least owe him this,” Charles tells his daughter before shutting the door.  Kathleen groaned and rolled her eyes.   She wanted to avoid the eight hundred pound gorilla in the room or in Keith case, the eight hundred ton giant.  She turned around to notice that Keith was sitting so that he could be eye level with the balcony.  Kathleen threw up her hands in defeat.

“You want to talk, then talk,” Kathleen barked out.  Keith looked hurt and nervous.  Kathleen Black was on the verge of leaving her husband until one day he got really ill and had to go to the hospital that had immediately transferred Keith to Gaea House.  That was the last Kathleen saw of her husband.  She talked on the phone with the advocate for the place but never made any effort to see Keith until her father interfered.  For once, Charles Kramer didn’t take his daughter’s side and forced Kathleen to drag the children and herself to the facility.  It wasn’t that Kathleen was afraid of giants, it was more the fact that Kathleen didn’t want to see Keith.

Giants have become a common fixture in Spartan Falls and the surrounding communities.  It wasn’t an uncommon sight anymore to see a giant walking alongside a busy road or help a human trim a tree.  Giants have become a norm for the people of Spartan Falls and soon the world as the giant population continues to grow.  Some humans fear the giants while other welcome them into their communities with open arms.  Many giants prefer to live away from populated areas where they can build homes to fit while some still like the city and spend whatever resources they have to convert old warehouses and factories into homes.  This is the reason Kathleen wasn’t afraid of giants except one, Keith Black.

“Kathy, I want to say that I’m sorry for how I’ve treated you.  You didn’t deserve that,” Keith said, looking straight at his wife.  “I can understand if you don’t ever forgive me.  I was stupid to treat you like that.  You are a beautiful and smart woman,” Keith said with sincerity and a tear.

“Okay, are you really Keith because Keith wouldn’t cry or even tell me I’m beautiful,” Kathleen said as she stood near the railing of the balcony.  Keith was sitting on a chair and was also slightly hunched over.  So not Keith.  Kathleen thought to herself.

“But I am Keith,” the giant mumbled and Kathleen’s eyes widened.  “You forgot what Mr. James told you about us,” Keith said and pointed to his head.  “I’m telepathic now.”

“Telepathic? “ Kathleen said in a surprised way.

“Didn’t you read the packet the Gaea Foundation sends out?  It explains everything you needed to know about giants,” Keith said and Kathleen scratched her head for a moment.  Keith went into Kathleen’s memories and saw that she had thrown the packet away but her father had fished it out of the trash.  For once in their marriage, Charles Kramer sided with Keith.  This made the giant smile.  Kathleen stood there like she was missing something.

“It doesn’t matter,” Keith said, shaking his head.  “What does matter is that I still care about you even though I know you don’t feel the same.  I’ve been a bastard to you and even the kids at times.  I hate myself Kathy.  I’m not that fat son of a bitch anymore and I was hoping…”

“Keith, I’m sorry too.  I should’ve been visiting you like a good wife but it’s just that I was….”

“Ready to leave me.  I know,” Keith finished with a frown.  “I would’ve done the same if the roles were reversed.  You have no need to be sorry Kathy.”

“Really?  What happened to Keith?  Did you guys make a stew out of him,” Kathleen joked as she met Keith greenish-brown eyes.  Keith gave her that smile, the smile that made her love him.

“You really haven’t read that packet, have you?  Overweight lemon dealers are bad for the cholesterol,” Keith bantered back.  “Besides Kathy, I’m pure vegan now.  I have no desire for a greasy cheeseburger or steak.  All giants are like that.”

“You’re a vegan?  No seriously, did aliens come from another galaxy to abduct Keith?” Kathleen went on with the jokes.  This only caused the giant to laugh.  Kathleen was slowly falling back in love with her new and much improved husband. 

Keith sat still for a moment, picking up on the smaller, much fainter second heartbeat coming from his wife.  He even took in a breath.  “Another boy,” Keith mumbled and Kathleen’s eyes grew huge again.  “It’s going to be another boy.”

“How do you know this Keith?” Kathleen asked, totally astonished.

“My senses are much stronger now.  I can tell you when he was conceived.  On that cruise we took for our anniversary.  Extraordinary, isn’t it?”

“Down right fucking amazing!  Can all giants do that?” Kathleen said and Keith nodded.

“We can actually do a lot more since everything about us is so much bigger.  Unfortunately it took this to make me realize that I married a wonderful beautiful woman,” Keith said as he stood up.  Kathleen strained her neck a bit to look up.

“Damn Keith!  What are you?  Thirty feet tall now?” Kathleen said with a whistle.  “So much for the vaulted ceilings.”

“Thirty-one feet and six inches to be exact,” Keith said with a sheepish grin.

“Bet you weigh less though,” Kathleen joked.

“Yeah, I’m pretty darn close to my old weight,” Keith said sarcastically and Kathleen did something that she hasn’t done in years, she laughed at her husband’s jokes.

“Kathy, do you still want to leave me?  I signed divorce papers when I was still remotely human.  All you have to do is sign under my name and the divorce is final.  I was told it wasn’t that uncommon for spouses to divorce their evolving partner.  Sometimes it’s for the best,” Keith said to his wife.  Kathleen let out some air.  She had been fighting an inner debate since meeting the new and improved Keith.  Deep in her heart she still loved him.

“Keith, I hated the fact that you were a bastard to me.  I couldn’t take the emotional abuse anymore but I’m not above giving it another go if you promise that you will never be that bastard again.  I want my babies to have a full time father and not one that hides in a bottle.  I would like to see us as a happy family again even if that happy family is different and unusual now,” Kathleen said, giving her extremely large husband a bitter sweet smile.  “Keith, I still love you,” Kathleen then whispered. 

“I still love you too, Kathy,” Keith whispered back.

 He lowered his hand towards the balcony as an invite to his wife.  Kathleen climbed over the railing and onto the soft surface of her husband’s hand.  Kathleen had a fear of heights so Keith was very gentle as he moved her closer to him.  Keith heard the heavy pounding of his wife’s heart drowning out the smaller much faint heartbeat.  Keith held his free hand around his wife as if to protect her from her anxiety.  Kathleen heart slowed a bit when he did this but he could still sense her fear.  Her fear wasn’t of Keith but the fact that she was being held twenty some odd feet in the air with only giant hands as her protection plus the fact that Kathleen always thought her husband to be clumsy.

“I won’t drop you, Kathy.  There is nothing to be afraid of,” Keith reassured his wife.  “I’m not that clumsy oaf anymore.  As I’ve said before, everything improved.”

“I know Keith; it’s just that you know how I feel about…” Kathleen couldn’t come up with the words.  Keith let out a gentle laugh.

“I will never drop you or the kids, Kathleen.  I know how hard it is for you.  Just trust me,” Keith said with a small smile.

“I trust you,” Kathleen said with a smile…

Jane Lindquist wasn’t sure if she could take care of the giants support group since she evolved but Sven told her she could still do this.  Jane Powers took a position at Gaea House after surviving her attempted suicide she inflicted upon herself after her family’s major change.  Jane considered herself a late bloomer in the giants’ world on top of evolving differently.  Sven convinced his newly giantess wife that she still had a lot to contribute to the troubled humans of newly evolved loved ones.  Jane found the job rewarding and loved helping troubled people.  She wasn’t quite sure how the group would take her being one inch shy of twenty-eight feet considering that these were humans who couldn’t fully accept the world changing around them.

Kathleen Black decided it would be best for herself and Keith if she went to the giant support group before signing the kids up for the Titan Project.  Keith had told her of a human that lived on campus with a giant and how this human couldn’t take the changes going on around her.  She worked her way past all that with the help of this certain giant and had learned to accept and love those around her.  Kathleen wanted to meet this extraordinary woman who had recently evolved.  The Gaea House made calls to all those attending the group to tell them the news of Jane Powers who now went by the name of Jane Lindquist.  Little did Kathleen know that this was the giantess whose family she sat across from in the waiting area.

Robin McAlister gathered up the support group attendees.  Some were even allowed to bring their evolved or evolving loved ones.  There was a man in his early thirties with his giantess fiancée and a flamboyant man with his evolving life partner.  There was also an elderly couple with their once disabled daughter and giant son.  All were welcomed to the support group after undergoing Gaea House protocol.  Things were mentioned in these meetings that are still sensitive to the outside world, particularly the parents of Titan children which was the group Jane was in charge of.

Robin had one group go into a room for Normal Evolution and How the Change Is Affecting Me?  The other group went into an unmarked room; this was the room Kathleen was directed to after spending a week in the marked room.  Kathleen learned a lot about Keith and his new world.  Keith even came with her to a couple of meetings to support her.  Kathleen started to love Keith like she did when they first got married.  There was still one thing that Keith kept secret from her, his amazing talent and the fact that he spent most of his time training and honing that talent to become one of Gaea House’s elite defense teams.  Kathleen never asked Keith what he did when she wasn’t around; she never wanted to be the nagging sort of wife.

Kathleen sat down on one of the chairs in the immense room.  The place was designed for both humans and giants.  A red-headed giantess sat in front of the group with the blond giant Kathleen remembered from her first visit to Gaea House.  The giantess held the blond giant’s hand as she appeared nervous.  This was Jane Lindquist first meeting since her recent change and she was nervous as were some of the humans entering the room.  If Sven hadn’t been there, no one would have recognized Jane.  Sven was a regular fixture at Gaea House and most of the humans in the room had to deal with him in one way or another.  Sven earned the title Doctor Thor by quite a few of the humans he examines regularly.  One of Sven’s jobs was to monitor the human members of evolved families.  Sven loved his job as much as his wife loved hers especially when now he could warn the humans of the time of their oncoming changes.

The small crowd settled in and Jane stood up.  The crowd gasped at the leggy redhead.  Jane had on the two piece set that some of the giantesses wore, bikini top and skirt that only showed off just how strong these women were built.  Jane was no exception and she enjoyed her new body as did Sven.  The green color actuated Jane’s sparkling eyes and the skirt showed off her tall strong legs.

“Hello, I’m Jane Lindquist.  Welcome to the Titan support group.  Some of you are here because you have children that have been through Titan while others of you are new and are still deciding.  Well I’m here to tell you my experience with Titan children and the world that I recently grew into.  I first of all want to introduce some of you to my husband, Sven Lindquist.  He plays a major part in my view on the world of giants.  I know it’s strange to see me this way but I wasn’t always this way.  I’m going to tell you the story of a very bitter and sad human woman.   That woman was me,” Jane said and starting telling the crowd the story of Jane Powers, a troubled woman who couldn’t take her growing world.

Kathleen listened to every word coming out of the giantess’s mouth.  Kathleen found a lot of similarities between her life and Jane’s except that Jane’s husband was nothing like Keith.  Mike sounded like a nice guy but Jane just didn’t love him like she used to.  Keith was anything but nice until his recent change.  Then Kathleen had to dig in her purse for a tissue when Jane described her suicide and savior.  That was when Kathleen made the decision to see Steven James about those red papers and make regular checkups with Sven Lindquist.  Kathleen wanted to do her best to save her marriage with her newly loving giant husband.
