After spending most of their day shopping, both the valkyrie and nymph decided to go home and rest until it was time to pick up Ferro.
"I can't believe Tamsin called so suddenly, I'm glad she'll be home next month" Lauren collapsed on the couch, happy to find out that Tamsin was coming home soon.
"It's great, but I wish you'd meet her at your apartment first instead of inviting her straight here. It would of given you a chance to, oh I don't know, inform her about Ferro being reborn and that she's still a bloody child" Felice stressed.
Not telling Tamsin at all, thinking Ferro's rebirth wouldn't be so soon, she knew the blonde Valkyrie would probably be mad at her and to just spring it on her now as soon as she arrives would be a death wish for her.
"Plus," Felice continued. "If we let anything slip in front of Ferro about her and Tamsin being together and the bond... it will just confuse her. Ferro has to regain her memories back on her own, those are the rules, that's how it works... well for Valkyries anyway, I don't want to risk it"
"If anything I can take her aside first and speak to her alone, everyone else is gonna be in the back with the barbeque that day and Ferro might grow within that time... everything will be fine" Lauren assured her.
"Yeah, do that. Uh... If you want I guess we could tell her together?" Felice suggested, secretly hoping the nymph would object to the offer.
"No, I think it's best if I tell her myself, I'm her bestfriend" said Lauren.
"Okay, yeah that's probably best," Felice let out a small sigh of relief. "We better go pick up Ferro, it's getting kinda late"
As they left the house and got into the car Lauren saw how stressed the valkyrie looked, knowing she was probably dreading Tamsin's reaction to all of this, especially with her being the lighter blonde's mentor.
"Babe, relax. Everything will be fine" Lauren reassured her.
"I hope so" Felice took a deep breath as she started the car and drove off to pick up her little sister.
"Ferro, no more ice cream or you'll end up puking your guts up and I'm not prepared to get yelled at by Felice" Alexis chuckled.
All the women and Ferro had caught up with Orphan Black season 2 while eating ice cream and pizza all day.
"What are we going to do the rest of today? Can we go out, if not can we watch Orange Is the new Black?!" Ferro asked with excitement.
"Ferro, it's about 8 o' clock now, Lauren and Felice will be picking you up soon and one...you're too young to watch Orange Is the new Black and two...we're never going out again. Not after last time" Bo laughed as she remembered back to when they last took Ferro dirt biking. A couple of teenage boys had been staring at Bo and whispering to each other which pissed Ferro off and caused her to start a fight with them, it was pretty hectic.
"I still don't know how that fight even happened between you and that kid," Kenzi said towards Ferro. "I just remember Bo chasing after that ginger kid and falling face first into the dirt" Kenzi, Alexis and Ferro burst into laughter.
"He pushed my Lil Ferro on the ground, I can't let anyone hurt one of my besties now can I?" Bo leaned over on the couch to kiss Ferro on the forehead, which made the little vamp smile causing Bo's heart to melt. She's adorable.
"Yeah that's true, we always got your back leech" Kenzi smiled.
"Even if it means beating up minors" Alexis giggled.
"If it wasn't for you smacking that kid across the head and getting caught, we wouldn't have been barred!" Bo chuckled.
"Hey! That blonde kid was a little brat, he deserved it" Alexis stated. "They were like what 15 and they're pushing little girls to the ground? I should have smacked him up some more" Alexis complained.
*knock* *knock*
"Aw man" Ferro muttered, upset because she knew it was her time to go.
"Come in!" Bo called out.
Lauren entered the shack and saw the three women and Ferro stuffing their faces with junk foocausing her to shake her head. "Come on Ferro, it's time to go, your sister's waiting in the car" said Lauren.
"I don't wanna go" Ferro moaned.
"I know, but Kenzi and Alexis are coming round next week to help prepare for our barbecue we're having next month."
"And me!" Bo informed.
"And Bo," Lauren smiled. "Plus, there's a friend of ours who we'd like you to meet then, so we're going to buy you some new clothes and stuff tomorrow"
"Finally! Okay, see you guys next week" Ferro quickly hugged the three women and ran outside to the car.
"Who's the friend?" Alexis asked.
"Tamsin," There was a long pause as Lauren looked at the three of them, the looks on their faces mixed with surprise and excitement. "She called earlier today, she'll be here next month" Lauren grinned.
"But Ferro hasn't matured yet and how will Tamsin even react when she finds out?" Bo asked feeling protective over Ferro.
"I don't know, but Felice says we should tell her before they meet. We all know about the bond. I know Tammy will be relieved to see her, I'm just worried about Ferro" Lauren said.
"Yeah, well so am I," said Bo. "She's a good kid, we can't let anything slip until she gets her memories back otherwise... she'll just be confused. And I've done my homework, valkyries are supposed to regain their memories without any help..." stated Bo.
"I agree and so does Felice, even though she's only part valkyrie we decided it's best to follow the rules as if she was one of them. Listen I have to go, but I will see you guys next week around 2ish?"
"Yeah, sure thing" said Alexis.
"Laters!" Said Kenzi as she heard the door to the crack shack slam shut.
"So Tamsin's back soon..." said Alexis as she looked at the other two women.
"Lauren told me how much this was affecting Tammy, how she's practically still grieving. This would literally make her life" Kenzi smiled.
"It really would" Bo agreed as she furrowed her brow in thought.
"Are we there yet?"
"We've only just got in the car" said Felix.
"So..." Ferro said, not understanding where he was getting at.
"So we aren't there yet" Felix replied, annoyed.
Ferro sighed dramatically and looked out her side of the window. The little vampire had been excited to go shopping and buy some new clothes, sick of wearing the hoodies she picked out the last time they went to the mall. After seeing Dyson wearing a black leather waist coat when he and her cousin Hale took her to the zoo last week, that was all she ever wanted since that day; waist coasts.
"We need to buy lots and lots of waist coats" Ferro reminded, mainly to herself.
"Didn't she wear those a lot back in college?" Lauren whispered over to Felix who sat in the passenger seat while she drove.
"She's always been obsessed with that kind of style. Ever since she saw Adrian in a waist coat one summer, she pestered our Mother to buy her some. At the age of 14 she had about 100 of them" Felix smiled. "We were at the Mall for hours" he shook his head.
"Seriously?" Lauren chuckled.
"Yup" said Felix.
"Laur, we need to buy lots of waist coats, okay? All different colors and stuff" Ferro reminded her again, getting excited.
"Waist coats. Got it" Lauren chuckled, she thought it was cute, having the image in her head of Ferro wearing them at her age now. Such a tomboy.
It was a 45 minute drive to the mall and they had shopped for over 3 hours. Ferro was so determined to buy as many waist coats as she could get. Most of them were too big for her size, but Lauren pointed out to Felix that it would be best that way for when she grows.
After buying all her waist coats Ferro insisted, well demanded, that they should also buy some jeans and shoes to match her waist coats so that she could also be color cordinated. If it wasn't for Felice lending Lauren her bank card she wouldn't of been able to afford any of this stuff.
They ended their day at the mall by going for a meal at McDonalds and then made their way back home. As soon as Ferro's head hit the pillow she fell fast asleep, satisfied with getting everything she wanted.
"Today was such a long day" said Lauren as she laid next to Felice in their king sized bed.
"I'm not surprised. Ferro was always a handful when ever we took her shopping" Felice chuckled.
"Well, today she definitely got your money's worth. Also got her some boots, trainers, ties, bow ties, braces," Lauren furrowed her brow in thought, thinking if she missed anything on the list. "Yeah, that's pretty much it"
"Even for a child she's a typical dyke," Felice laughed. "At least she'll look good once Tamsin gets here" she smiled.
"Who's Tamsin?" Ferro asked as she was stood at their doorway rubbing her sleepy eyes, causing Lauren and the valkyrie to jump; startled by the unexpected interruption.
"An old friend of ours, she's coming to the barbeque next month" Lauren told her.
"Ferro it's late, you should be asleep" said Felice.
"I only went to have a glass of water" Ferro screwed her face at her older sister before making her way back to her room.
"Such an attitude" Lauren shook her head as she laughed.
"What do you expect, it's Ferro, as a child" said Felice, shaking her head.
"It should be interesting to see how she behaves with a teenage mindset. She's practically nine now and she's already demanding stuff and being rude"
Felice couldn't help but laugh, Ferro was a handful now but in her last life at that age she was much worse. "Just be glad you didn't have to deal with her when she was at that age back in Norway. We thought she had a personality disorder. Turns out she's just fucked up and rude" Felice chuckled.
Lauren smacked her on the arm. "She is not fucked up, don't be mean" Lauren couldn't help but smile anyway.
"Sorry mom"
"You're cruising for a bruising" Lauren warned her.
"Oh, am I? What are you going to do?" Felice teased.
"Punish you..." Lauren straddled the valkyrie and looked into her eyes, slowly leaning towards her she placed a gentle kiss on her lips and smiled. "Yes" she said as she moved back a little to look at her lover.
"Huh?"
"Yes... I will marry you"
"But I thought-"
"I know you told me to think about it," Lauren interuppted. "Mainly because I didn't want to make a decision without Tamsin being here, but she's obviously going to be happy for us. And now that Ferro is back and reborn well...she won't feel lonely" said Lauren.
"Are you sure you want this?" Felice asked.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know, you haven't been with anyone else since Bo and I sometimes think that I might not be good enough for you... I don't know, I'm just being stupid I guess"
"You are good enough. Babe, I love you and I want to be your wife" Lauren smiled through tears as she leaned in to kiss Felice again, this time with more hunger and passion.
Everything was perfect. Ferro was reborn, Lauren and her valkyrie were engaged and Tamsin would be back in Toronto in a few weeks. They didn't know how to break it to Tamsin about Ferro and introduce them to each other, but they knew it couldn't go bad.
After all they would be reunited and once Ferro regains her memories they'd be together again.
