While outside there was a deep quiet due to the night that led even the most rowdy in the arms of Morpheus, inside him was chaos, unrest. Next to him instead, his partner seemed to sleep peacefully. Not to disturb her (she was more irritable than usual if awakened) with hiscontinuous position change in bed, the man stood up, leaving the room. He knew he could not lose hours of sleep, the next day he would have to be in great shape but he could not take it. Walking down the hall, he stood before the room closest to his bedroom. The room of the little twins. He opened the door gently finding his daughters fast asleep. They had just eight years, but for him they are already growing too fast. Before they go to elementary schools and in a short time you have to accompany them to the altar. He closed the door, sighing and walking toward the kitchen. Maybe drink a little would help him calm down. Once in the kitchento his surprise, she his daughter sitting at the table.
"Even you can not sleep huh? Drakken asked. She was so like him, he could well imagine the reason for her anxiety. "You should go back to bed, tomorrow is your big day"
"I know but I can not do" Dahlia sighed "I'm so tense, if tomorrow something goes wrong?"
"Well, at this point the only solution is to cancel the wedding." He exclaimed.
"Dad, we've already talked about this" The daughter said "I... I'm just nervous but I want marry him"
"You are too young to get married!"Drakken whined by going near her "You are my little girl" Little, even him could realize how those words were inappropriate. Dahlia in fact was taller than him, stronger than him ( technically, she was stronger than any man on Earth except her uncle Hego ) and for a long time now she worked independently.
"Dad, I'm big now. It 's time for me to create a family on my own with the man I love" Dahlia explained
"I warn you, I'm too young to be a grandfather" he exlaimed.
His daughter raised an eyebrow assuming a puzzled look so similar to that of the mother " Dad, you have sixty-eight"
"W...well, your mother is too young to be a grandmother" Drakken stammered, realizing how he was getting ridiculous. Her little girl had grown up, and that was a fact.
"Even if I get married I'll always be your little girl" She said patients taking his hand. In those moments she really looked like her mother always ready to reassure him when he behaves like a small and capricious child. But he could not do anything. Although she would always be his little girl, now there would be another man to take care of after her? It would fall to all his other daughters.
"Dr.D, Dahlia, go back to bed"
Both father and daughter turned toward the entrance of the kitchen meeting Shego's figure. She was clearly sleepy, so she staggers slightly when moved "Tomorrow is the big day, I want to see you two without dark circles. As far as possible" she added yawning. Reluctantly, he felt the touch of his daughter on his hand desert him. She got up, kissed her mother on the cheek and went to her room. The last night in her room. Now the two of them were alone.
"It's not the end of the word" Shego said.
"I know " He replied afflicted.
"She and Jason will live near us, you will be able to see her every day"
"I know"
Her words slip on him, the only thing I could think about was Dahlia. The words do not reach him, but the warmth of her body due to the fact she hugged him so suddenly yes.
"S...Shego?!"
"It's not the end of the word" the woman repeated embracing him stronger. He could hear distinctly her scent into his nostrils. Why she was so kind? It was unusual yet pleasant. Drakken thought, holding her in turn.
"You're strangely sweet Shego" He said.
"I can understand how you feel" She explained "I did not go out of my mind like you but even for me it harsh. When they are with us I would just like a minute break but the idea of having them far away terrifies me"
"And she is just the first, in a short time all of them will separate from us" He continued.
"Maybe one or two of them will do like their father remaining attached to the skirt of their mother until forty forwarded" The woman laughed
"Ah, ah, very funny, you are no longer nice"
"Just kidding" She defended herself. Outside of their words, there was no noise "There is so much quiet without them. And we can cuddling without their disgusted looks upon us. Maybe it's not so bad to go back to being just a couple"
"Maybe..." He repeat. Suddenly Drakken was overcome by the need to ask her a question "How did you wake up?". Shego oved to sleep and it was impossible to make her wake up in the night after falling asleep and when it happens she was definitely a bad mood.
"In all these years I'm used to the heat of your body next to mine" She explained. "Simply, I found my sleep less comfortable and I woke up and you were not there. It does not take long to figure out the cause of your awakening and I came looking for you."
In response to those words Drakken kissed her, surprising her. He loved that woman, he loved every facet of her personality. Her sarcasm,her being lippy,her evil but when she shows so sweet,so caring, when only he could see the hidden side of her,he felt the happiest and lackyest man in the world. The kiss starts to become more intense and the vines, and his hands began to shift on the woman's body.
"Dr.D, we can't, we need to sleep" She warned him, freeing herself from his kiss just long enough to breathe. Her words, however, remained unanswered and, although generally this would make her angry, now she did not have the strength. The preparations for the wedding had stressed her too much and at night she collapsed in bed. It was a long time since the two of them had a little bit of intimacy and damn, she deserve a bit of satisfaction after all that work ! She abandons her inhibitions reciprocate the kisses of the man.
The good thing to have a bright kitchen that was in the morning hours there was not a useless waste of energy. The downside was that wake up in that room meant peck in the face the solar rays. Annoyed by the rude awakening, she stood looking at the time on the display of the microwave.
Eight-thirty. Shocked, she hurried to wake Drakken who was still lying on the floor.
"Dr.D, wake up!" Shego shrieked while quickly thrusts her pajamas "It's late, the kisd will wake up soon and we are naked in the kitchen!" Despite the calls of the woman he did not give the slightest impression of being to wake up. Impatient, she did the first thing that comes to mind, she goes down to his level whispering in his ears.
"Dr.D, Lily is working hard with a nice boy"
"Not my little flower!" he screamed leaping up completely naked. Meanwhile, from the top floor, they hear the sounds of footsteps.
""Hurry up, they're going down" she said throwing his pajamas.
Fortunately (for the mental health of their children), he manages to dress right before they would come into the kitchen
"Mom, you're already awake?" Asked the only male of the trio.
"Yes, um, your father helped me to wake up" She said "Where are the rest of you?"
"Lily is going to wake up Jack and the others" answered one of the twins
"Viola will be happy. She already hates to be awakened, let alone by Lily" Shego exlaimed. That girl was so... like her. It was so not so strange that she found at least irritating a girl like Lily who was ditzy, perpetually happy and in high spirits, practically a Disney's princess. Of course, with some anger problem but that was the only point which united them although Viola was definitely more prone to a perpetual rage while her sister was more a "sudden outbreak of murderous rage".
As assumed by the woman, from upstairs they heard screams and sound of objects that were thrown.
"I'm ok" Lily shouted.
Soon, the rest of their children were into the kitchen.
"Why we have to start the day with her scream?" Rose complained. She had long hair blacks completely disheveled, her eyes still golden due to the lack of contact lenses.
"Why you have to wake up with my screams? Why do I have to be awakened by the delayed." Viola screamed again "I swear, one of these days..."
"And now she start with the ranting..." Rose yawned. Why her sister was always ranting? It was not enough their father?
"You two do not start fighting" Dahlia admonished them "Not today, please"
"Yeah, this is a special day!" Lily exclaimed joyful appearing behind them, radiant as ever. She seems to be the bride and not the woman who wearily sat for breakfast. Dahilia was back in bed after the arrival of her mother but she was not able to fall asleep if not at dawn.
"You seem exhausted" Shego said to her eldest daughter "Why not go back to sleep? We'll do the final details, I'll call you only when you need to dress up and wear makeup."
"No, it would be useless. Since you came into the kitchen and I'm back in my room I did not sleep from the tension" Dahila explained sighing.
"Well you..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute" Viola yelled, interrupting her mother "Mom, was in the kitchen yesterday night? Mom? The one that does not move from the bed even under torture? "
"Yes, I was talking with dad and... "
"And dad was here too?" the purple girl continued. "And today they were both here before us?"
An awkward silence fell in the room,as if to confirm the suggestion of the girl.
"Viola please don't freak..."
"This is..." Viola started.
"Lovely" Lily said.
"Gross" The younger sister corrected her " Oh God, we eat here!"
"Not anymore" Rose said with a disgusted face.
"Viola please, the twins are here" Her father begged her.
"Oh, oh, now you worry about the mental health of your kids" The girl replied. "This is sick and wrong, sick and wrong!"
The ramblings of the girl were interrupted by loud noise caused by a motorcycle that crashed through the front door. After several laps with the motorcycle, the bike stopped and the girl above it arose her helmet.
"Harley is here, seriously." She screamed. The blonde got off the bike going towards the family gathered at the table.
"Oh, look who came out of prison in time for the wedding" Rose exlaimed. She could not stand her, so to speak cousin. She was noisy, intrusive and she repeats continuously...
"Juvenile prison to be exact, not a real prison cuz, seriously" Harley said before turning to Dahlia "So, as she feels my favorite cuz in her wedding day?"
"I thought I was your favorite cousin." Lily whimpered.
"It 's a way to say Red, do not freack out" the blonde said.
"Yeah, Viola has already given us our daily dose" laughed one of the two twin brothers.
"Sorry if I think it's disgusting that my parents have a sex life more prolific of mine" His sister replied with a face that expresses disapproval.
"Viola, your younger brothers and sisters are STILL here!" Her mother warned her in a tone of voice that was well understand the amount of anger he was holding. It was not just the case of getting lost in the fighting on that day.
"That's right, and I do not want to hear about sexual life lady, you're too young" Her father yelled using his own plants to plug the ears of his younger children. " And you and you too!" He added, pointing to Lily and Rose.
"Hey, leave me out of it" Rose exlaimed. Why did she have to be put in the middle when her brothers and sisters did the mess?
"But if you are the one most at risk little sister" Viola said with a wicked grin "You never know when your Stoppebrat boyfriends will makes his move"
"He's not my boyfriend!" She screaming turning red.
"Of curse not" Drakken added "You are too young and... that name reminds me of something... some bad felling"
Disconsolate, Dahlia was watching that chaotic family scene. There were only her parents, her brothers and sisters and her cousin. What would happen to the wedding with all the other relatives?
To be continued...
