BB & Raven: (0.o)' Mommy?


//With Raven//

A car pulled up in the drive. Because Raven's room was at the front of the bigger than most house, she could see immediately the awaited arrival of her mother. When she was younger; she would have run out carelessly and possibly annoyed her father and his whores just by the noise she made. But now she was much more civilized. She would still run out to greet her mommy. She now runs silently through the halls, wearing soft shoes so as to disturb anyone, avoiding almost everyone to fall into her arms. She done that today and in response her overpowering hug was used against her to end with her and her mother twirling around in the disapproving eyes of her father.

He too, had seen Arella enter his estate. He had ignored his only daughter as she ran undignified into her mothers loving arms. It was said by some of his servants that he had taken the child out of spite of the woman and her family; that he had no real feelings for his daughter, and many of those rumors were true. But it was agreed by the judge that the girl was to be in the care of Arella during holidays. He had agreed to reduce any unwanted publicity by the small section of the press he had no control over. Next to the tall, long haired, tanned man stood a pink suitcase. Naturally it belonged to Raven. You wouldn't expect a crime overlord to own anything pink would you? As far as he knew, the girl didn't even like the color pink anymore. She hated almost anything he bought her; she was an ungrateful little brat in his eyes.

Until Arella turned around to reveal their child he had no idea what Raven was wearing. He had assumed that she would be wearing another one of her dark, shapeless and vulgar outfits. Imagine his surprise when he saw the summer dress. He smirked, a few weeks ago she had yelled at him for paying someone to buy that 'disgusting', 'hideous' dress for her… accompanied by some saying about using his 'blood money'. The girl didn't know how lucky she was and how soft he was compared to her seeing as her mother was the only one of his many 'escapades' who decided to keep her child. He was grateful to this woman because she provided him and heir, named 'The Gem' by his underlings. The two young women noticed he was watching, Raven's small smile disappeared, leaving her looking emotionless. With a snap of his fingers a servant lifted Raven's suitcase and began to load it into the convertible. The two adults made their annual small talk; it mostly consisted of 'Hi, how are you?'s and 'I'm fine's. Raven watched from a small distance. She used to be curious about what they would talk about when she was younger; now she didn't really give a damn… soon she'd be 16 and ask to live with her mother… but alas, this poor girl has to wait until December for that.

'Argh! Will they hurry up so I can leave this God forsaken Hellhole!?' she shouted in her mind to no one in particular… it echoed in here head.

"Weird…" she said. When her mother entered the car.

"What's weird honey?" Arella asked. Raven merely answered

"It's nothing…" Arella shifted the gear stick and Raven released a breath of relief. She had escaped the evil clutches of her demon father for six whole weeks!

Could this day get any better?

//With Gar//

"Gah! I'm SO BORED!!!" Yelled Gar; he had finished mowing the lawn after Arella left the city to pick up Raven. Cute, sweet, adorable, little Raven. She was probably the most adorable girl he'd ever met… But he couldn't tell that to Terra, his new girlfriend. She'd go into that 'jealous girlfriend' zone on Raven and try to beat her up.

But Tara was hot. Not your average girl hot but super model hot! He would never be able to let her slip without looking like a total doofus. Had it really been two hours since he started to mow the lawn? He wondered. Then again, the garden was huge up front and lead to the backyard which was probably twice its size. His foster-parents really should pay him for this… But he was only doing all these chores as punishment for dying his hair green. Yup. He really shouldn't of done that, they'd probably soften up after Raven arrived; people were weird like that around Raven. He didn't even know why, but he had his suspicions; he figured Arella and his foster-mom talked about what each other and each of their children had been through and decided it was good for them to hang with each other. Either that or they were trying to arrange a marriage; which made him shudder, Raven was two years younger than him and he felt like she was his baby sister, you can't marry your baby sister. It's not right! But that could be one of the reasons his foster-mom didn't like Tara. That was possibly her only flaw; hating any female-minus Raven- he was friendly with.

His mom called him in: "Gar! Come in, dinner's ready! We did Stir Fry!" Alright! Stir fry tofu was his favorite dish. He ran inside; wouldn't you if your mom made your most favorite meal in life? And sat down eagerly awaiting the meal; but was greeted by an awkward silence…

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked his parents nervously. Please God don't bring up the hair.

"Gar. Gail and I have a question for you." His foster-father stated, grabbing onto Gail's hand, both of them looking at him, observing his every movement. "What do you think of adoption?" he finished. Adoption? Why would they bring that up; no one wanted to take him away from them did they? These guys were practically his family!

"What do you mean?" was his answer. "I'm not leaving am I? What about school and my friends an-"

"We want to adopt you Gar. We've been caring for you since you were eight and we've tried to be like any normal family. Do you want to be our son? For real." He didn't know what to say… he wouldn't be Garfield Logan anymore; could he?

"So… what about… you know…" He trailed off. Gail spoke up.

"Everything your parents left you will still be yours, and when we leave this world with you as our son, you'll have whatever we've left behind as well. You could even keep your name; Garfield Logan-Grady wouldn't stand out as much as Garfield Grady" she smiled at her weak effort of a joke. They both looked at him; awaiting his response.

A family. He'd finally have one again. A mom and a dad like all the others. His face beamed out, expressing all the emotions he felt. He got up and hugged them both.

"Yeah. I'd like that. I'd like that a lot." He said. "So when do I officially become Garfield Logan-Grady?" He inquired, flashing Excellent! He'd be part of a normal family again, it was the beginning of summer, he had a totally super hot girlfriend; Tara, Raven was coming over and his 'parents' weren't flipping out over his hair.

Gar's life probably could not get any better right now. Unless his mom and dad were there to approve. They probably were watching him from heaven, happy for him.
