Unnamed

Ch. 12

Geneviève sat at the table, just thinking. She knows Mystery hasn't had the best of luck with romance, but how to tell her she loves her and prove she's not going anywhere? Mystery was getting out eggs, any kind of milk, bread, and anything that is gluten-free or vegan. Slowly Geneviève went to the fridge to see if they needed anything, after and got her keys and wallet and left, going to the store. ' maybe the first step is to show her am not going anywhere? I should buy her more herbs for her potions too, she said she was running low, and some more diapers wouldn't hurt'. "Maybe, you should get her a present." a voice said from what seemed to be right next to her. " Everyone loves gifts, right?". ' a present?.. what should I get as a present though.. '. Walking into the store she brought the herbs, diapers, and any food they needed. Walking around she searchs for a gift. "I don't know... What does she like?" the voice asked. Geneviève thought for a moment. She couldn't think of much but she had a slight idea. She got a black cat stuffed toy and a few other things. She went and paid for everything and went home. Mystery was already feeding every one of her children and babies in the house, she sat down once she served everyone. She sighs a little, smiling happily that they're getting fed. Geneviève put everything up and took the black cat and the more fake flowers to the room, there she began to stich on the fake flowers. Mystery went to go to feed her cats, Fluffy and Mittens were sitting around their food bowl, meowing at her as she came. She smiled at them, then got the cat food, putting the food in their bowls. Immediately the cats were eating the food, they purred while they did. When she finally finished Geneviève went to Mystery, holding the black cat behind her. " Mystery? " Geneviève managed to say without stuttering. "Hm?", Mystery looked at her, "Yes, Geneviève?". Geneviève handed her the black cat. " I uh.. here!.. I got this for you" she said. The black cat had a ring off flowers on it's head and a couple flower petals on its back. Mystery was happy that she gave her a gift, "Aw, thank you, the cat is adorable. I should've gotten a gift for you too." She said, smiling. Geneviève shook her head. " No, you don't have to.. I just wanted to give you something." She said, fiddling with her hair as her face went a bit red. "Well, It's very thoughtful and sweet of you. But, I do question, why would you give me this?" she asked. She didn't think she deserved gifts. " I uh.. just thought you needed one! You deserve it! " she said. "Oh... hmmm.. Ok!" she responded. She goes to put the black cat in her bed, she yawns a bit tiredly. Geneviève followed. " Are you tried? " She asked. "A bit... Would be nice to go to sleep." Mystery said. " Then sleep! I'll watch the kids! " Geneviève said. "Are you positive you want to do that?... I don't want you to be tired too.". " I got it! I promise". "ok, if you say..." before she could finished, she goes over to the bed and passed out. Geneviève giggles, she kissed her head leaving. She watch the kids finish eating and washed all the dishes when they were finished. " Ok, you guy's mother is sleeping, so please be quiet, if you guys can be quiet until she wakes up we can have icecream! " She said. The kids instantly got excited, one girl gasped and with an excited look, she looked at everyone else and ran to her room, carrying one of the babies with her. Everyone else did the same, taking the babies with them except the twins... The twins stared at Geneviève like they were going to do something. Slowly, one of them pulled out a ten-inch butcher knife from behind her. " Woah, what are you doing with that?.. " Geneviève asked. She threw the butcher knife right where her head should be, the knife was a few inches away from her head. They both laughed and clapped their hands happily. Geneviève froze but then got a piece of paper and wrote something down. She stuck the paper on the fridge with a magnet. The twins couldn't read so they didn't know what was on the paper, they started doing grabby hands to her like they didn't just almost kill her. They were smiling happily, wanting to be picked up, out of their high-chair. Geneviève smiled, " that paper says you through a knife at me, your mother is gonna see that, how do you think she'll react to that?.. " she said as she walked away from the fridge. " Would she be happy? Mad? Sad? What would she think of you after she sees that! " She added, making a shocked face. The twins understood the shock on her face... They stopped doing grabby hands and started to cry. They didn't like that she looked shocked. Geneviève smiled. "Sh sh, quiet..". Geneviève pick them up and put them in their crib. " Take a nap.. " she said softly. The twins slowly stopped crying, they gently closed their eyes and carefully drifted off to sleep. Geneviève went to check on the other kids, holding the a notepad and pen. "Jonathan, give me back my phone!" a teenage girl screamed at a boy that was hanging on the ceiling fan with her phone. A twelve-year-old was crying and screaming while she got her finger caught in an easy-bake oven, while another kid was eating candy under their bed, there was absolute chaos everywhere, but they were still quiet about it, sort of. But, there was indeed a dinosaur kiddo hanging a boy that had a pig's tail and ears, upside down, the boy was five and crying. Some babies were crawling around freely, they were about to eat a little toy that was left on the floor. " Now what is going on in here? " Geneviève asked losing her soft tone of voice. She picked the tiny toys up and quickly helped the twelve-year-old that was stuck. The twelve-year-old wipes her tears a little, calming down. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her... The dinosaur kid then accidentally dropped the boy on his head. The boy screamed, crying more. Geneviève wrote on a page what they did and help the boy up. Looking up at the fan she stared at the boy up there.. intensely. The boy on the fan didn't hesitate on giving the teenager's phone back... and the other teenagers' phones back. He gets down, off the fan. She wrote down what he did and looked around the room. " Get from under the bed, now." She said waiting. The kid slowly gets out from under the bed, still hiding their candy. " Am pretty sure you're not supposed to have candy after breakfast. " She said. The kid didn't say anything, they were just quiet... a girl opened up the restroom and had the tubs, sinks, and showers filled with water. "I'M A FISHYYYY!" she said, knowing that she was part fish, she ran around the cottage carrying a bucket of water. Geneviève caught her after writing down what she did. " No ma'am. " She said sitting her on down on the bed, quickly she cleaned up the water. " Am going to put this paper on the fridge, it's gonna tell your mother what you guys did when she was sleeping.. I hope she wouldn't be too angry about you dropping your brother, stealing your siblings stuff and hanging from the fan, and flooding the bathroom." she said. Everyone looked at each other in shame... "You should see what Unnamed did!! Look in the hallway!" the fish girl said. Geneviève looked to see Unnamed drawing on the wall.. with peanut butter. " Unnamed.." Geneviève said, and Unnamed froze at her mother was. Looking at her with a sweet but scared look. " Huh? " She answered. " Tsk..". Geneviève didn't have to write anything down as she was her mother too, she nicely scolded her about it and helped her clean it as well. looking at the other kids she spoke, " I won't put the paper up there if All of you take a nap. " Geneviève said, Unnamed already running to her bed. The kids and teenagers nodded, quickly putting the babies and toddlers to sleep, and they instantly go to take a nap. The twins were awake, kicking their legs up in the air, hungry. Geneviève went to them giving them their bottle she already filled with milk. The twins grab a hold of the bottles, and they drink them slowly, going back to sleep. Mystery woke up, stretching a bit, she yawned. She was wondering if the children were behaving when she was asleep... Geneviève knew it was unfair but she still put the paper on the fridge tho she noted how good they were after. She had fallen asleep on the couch. Mystery woke up and yawned... She wonder what happened while she was asleep. She gets up and checks the fridge, she reads it all. She wasn't mad at all, she would talk to them all when they woke up... She goes over to Geneviève, puts a note next to her, and goes away to go clean a bit. Geneviève woke up, finally had gotten the sleep she needed, she turned and looked at the note. 'Thank you for watching them.' the note had on it, with a smiley face. Geneviève smiled her face yet again going red. She got up and went to find her half way covering her face. Mystery was organizing the closets in the hallway, trying to decide what to do. Geneviève gave her a hug, hiding her face in her hair. Mystery slightly smiled and hugged her back, her hair was soft and smelt slightly like roses. Geneviève tried her hardest to tell Mystery how she felt right then but she couldn't. Is wasn't the right time, she'll probably still think she'd leave her.  She slightly sighed, " what are you doing? " She mumbled. "Organizing the closet, as usual, what are you doing up?" she responded. " Hugging you.. " Geneviève said smiling blushing more. Mystery looked at her a little and nodded, "And that's the single reason why you're up?...". Mystery asked, trying to lightly and gently tell her she was not interested. Still thinking that she'll leave her... no matter what. Geneviève felt her heart drop but she knew if she didn't say something now it would be useless. Moving away, she looked down at her, right in the eyes. " Mystery.. ". Mystery knew what was going to happen... it's either going to be good or bad. She looked up at her, staring. "Yes?..." she responded. " I uh... I really really really really really REALLY.. love you, and I Know you think am gonna leave you but I promise you I wouldn't.. beside I wouldn't have anywhere to go but back to my mother, and am definitely not going back there.." she said. Mystery was quiet for a moment before she has spoken up. "But why to love me out of all the people?... Why me? Geneviève, I want the best for you. Yes, I'm sad about my lovers' leaving me but... I see that you'll have a brighter future with someone else." she said, sorrowfully. " No. I love you. You're amazing and a wonderful person and I love you.. am not gonna find anyone better., I'd probably die if I tried! Or be used for kids and fame within their friend group." She responded. She took her hands softly. " I love you, and only you.. " she said. " And I don't wanna leave you.. or the kids.. I mean one of them almost call me mother! Am not leaving you or them. " She added. Mystery looked at her in the eyes deeply, she started to cry a bit... she hugs her close to her, weeping. She barely knew that she would choose her over someone that is more better than her, so perfect than her. She cried quietly and was happy but sad at the same time. Geneviève hugged her back. " You are my better and perfect Mystery.." Geneviève said.
