Surprising Secrets.
Shaggy P.O.V.
I walked into the room I had shared with Scooby while we were staying on Moonscar Island. To find a baby wrapped in a pink blanket and a letter on my bed. I quickly and gently picked up the baby and sat down cradling her as best I could with one arm while I read the letter.
Dear Shaggy, if you are reading this then you and your friends managed to defeat Simone and I. The baby is my three month old daughter Lillian. For the past 50 years I've started to regret what we've been doing. A year ago, on the night of the harvest moon, one of the men that we drained was a voodoo shaman and recognized what we were immediately. He gave his life force to me willingly, but before that I gave myself to him. A month later I found out I was pregnant with Lillian. I didn't want my daughter to grow up in this kind of environment, so I hid the pregnancy from Miss Simone planning somehow to hide Lillian the first chance I could. Please raise her, she is innocent and doesn't deserve your ire. I do. Forgive me, Lena.
When I finished reading the note, Lillian started crying. So, I started rocking her and humming a lullaby I used to sing to my sister Sugi when she was little. Daphne, Fred, and Velma suddenly appeared followed by Scooby. "We heard crying. Where did that baby come from Shaggy?" Daphne asked. I passed her the letter once Lillian had gone back to sleep.
"We should give her to Detective Neville so he can find her a proper home." Velma Said. The way she said proper home put me on edge. "You like mean a science lab where experiments would be done on her as if she was a common lab rat, or perhaps an orphanage where she'll be abused until she comes of age then prison. Like no way in hell." I growled. "Reah." Scooby said. "There's no way of knowing if she won't turn out just like her mother. She's a monster Shaggy." Velma said. Fred, Daphne, Scooby and I stared at her in horror. "No she's an innocent baby. People aren't born evil they become it. Use your brain Velma, you're sounding just as bad as Simone and Lena." Daphne said, moving to stand beside me. Fred and Scooby joined her.
Velma stared at Lillian, who I held protectively in my arms, for a few minutes. "Your right guys. I'm sorry, I guess this whole mystery has me being a little paranoid." She said. "Like no hard feelings. Velma." I said. "But what should we do with her? I mean we can't raise her since no of us are prepared or have the resources to care for a baby." Fred said. "I like know some people who will take her in and be able to raise her properly." I said. 'Like I hope I don't regret this.' I thought. "Great where do they live?" Daphne asked. "Not too far from here. It's a boarding school Scooby, Scrappy, and I volunteered to be coaches. It was like the year before I started racing professionally." I said. "Great let's go." Daphne said. I stood up, being careful to not wake up Lillian, then we left Moonscar Island.
