Hey! here's an attempt to make a multichapter fic... the only thing I have uploaded for ff. net has been a oneshot some time ago!
I'm not quite convinced with the final result, but here's anyway... let me know what you think.
oh, and the only thing I own are the mistakes I made in this!!!
Chapter 1: ONE MORE WEEK
Lucy was really excited. Really really excited. Another summer had come, and she would leave again, if only for two weeks. She had told all her friends from school all about her grandparents, like how much her granny could cook without burn anything -not like her parents, who every once in a while would forget that the food was in the stove-, or like how her granddaddy would teach her how to ride a horse without falling on her butt.
"You're mean Uncle Mac" -Lucy pouted. Mac could see the smile she was trying to hide, failing miserably. He knew she wasn't mad, she was only negotiating, Lucy's style.
"You know I'm not! Who has just bought you the most sweetest teddy in the world, as you put it. If I was mean I would have bought you the ugliest!" - Mac defended himself, absolutely amused of the ways of extortion the five-year-old had. He was sure she got it form her father.
He looked as Lucy bit her lower lip, a sign she was thinking really hard. "Yes, that'd be very mean, Uncle Mac" she had to accept his reasoning, but she hadn't given up on her target yet. "But I want to stay with granddady and granny more time!"
"I know that, baby girl, but two weeks is enough time. Your parent's have to work, so you can go there to Montana the next summer." At this point, Lucy knew too well she had lost the fight, but not the war. Mac, however, continued with his convincing-Lucy speech. "And when you come home you will be able to go to your other granny and granddaddy, and you will even come here sometimes."
"Yay! That's cool too! But I want to go with Uncle Sid and Adam! They are funnier!" As she saw the mock hurt Mac had in his face she added quickly: "oh, but you're funny too, Uncle Mac, and you buy me teddy bears and breakfast. You even buy me those yummy candies mommy doesn't allow me to eat!"
"Yes", Mac said, suddenly with a straight face. "On this matter, we don't say anything to mommy, remember? We never eat candies when we are with Uncle Mac. That or your mother will kill me as your father kills himself laughing".
"Why would Danny do that?" Mac literally jumped, nearly making Lucy fall from his lap in the process. He looked behind him only to see Lindsay standing at the doorway laughing at his reaction.
"Two things. One: are you trying to give me a heart attack?, and two: what have you heard?" Although he knew she wouldn't harm him, you never knew what the reaction of "mommy-Lindsay" would be.
"Oh, not much. But don't you think I don't know you two have a secret you don't want me to find out" Lindsay said, pointing between the two who were still recovering from the fright. "Come on Lucy, we need to go get Lydia at daycare".
"Yay! Mommy look what Uncle Mac bought me today!" She said, shaking proudly her new teddy bear.
"Oh, what a sweet teddy bear! Have you said thanks to Uncle Mac?"
"Of course she has." responded quickly Mac, "Who is the politest girl in the world?"
"Me!!" Shouted Lucy, with a big smile that nearly reached her ears. Both adults burst laughing knowing that that wasn't quite true. "Mommy, know what? Uncle Mac is still mean. He doesn't let us to go see the grandpa and granny more time, but he will let me come here when we come back, with Adam and Sid!" explained the girl, extremely happy with what she had achieved.
"As long as you don't end up doing autopsies, thats fine by me" Lindsay said, happy that Lucy wasn't pressing for staying more in Montana with Lindsay's parents. "Hurry up!, we really need to go and pick Lydia"
"O Kay mommy. Bye bye Uncle Mac!"She said, taking the outstretched hand of her mother and waving Mac with the other hand. "Good-bye Lucy, be good to you parents, o kay?" "O kay"
"Bye Mac, oh, and tanks for the teddy bear, she didn't need another but it's really appreciated" She said, both laughing at her last comment, knowing too well the amount of stuffed animals Lucy and Lydia had.
With that, mother and child headed for the daycare to pick Lydia and go home. Being in the elevator, Lucy did her final attempt at letting her parents know how much she wanted to go to Montana:
"Mommy"
"What princess?"
"I really really want to go to see grandpa and granny"
"I know, sweety, I know. But you only have to wait one more week, and since you don't have school now, you can come with us to the lab everyday if you're a good girl"
"Yay! One week!"
What do you think? should I continue with this? Tell me if you feel like!
