Treasure of the future
Chapter 2
Welcome home, Eleanor Pataki
Eleanor was currently walking along side both her parents. After discussing the plan, her parents agreed to follow it. Arnold had his doubt about the plan, but decided to at least try. They stopped as a familiar house came to view, Arnold looked over at Eleanor; she was smiling widely and her eyes reflected happiness while Helga's smile faltered a bit.
"Helga, are you sure you want to do this? I mean we can always think about something else," Arnold said reassuringly.
"Give me a break Football Head; I am not scared of what my over "loving" parents have to say. Eleanor stays or Eleanor stays, that is the only thing that I'm sure of or my name is not Helga G. Pataki," Helga said strongly.
They were standing outside Helga's front door and with nervous fist, Helga turned the handle of the door. Upon entering her home, Helga was greeted with the loud voice of Big Bob.
"OLGA, YOU'RE LATE!" Big Bob yelled at his daughter from over the couch.
"It's HELGA, Dad," Helga said bitterly.
Sparing a glance at Helga, Big Bob was surprised to see her daughter was not alone; she was with that Alfred kid and a little girl. Damn, That girl is going to me miss the wheel Big Bob thought bitterly to himself before he stood up and made his way over to a very, very annoyed looking Helga.
"Miriam, the girl is here and she brought that Alfred kid with her and some brat!" Big Bob yelled over his shoulder.
"It's ARNOLD, Dad! Secondly, this is not a brat; her name is Eleanor Pataki your niece! Thirdly, she is staying with us until her parents come back from their trip," Helga hissed angrily.
Big Bob looked confused as he stared at Eleanor. He was about to ask what the crimany was she talking about, but in that moment a drowsy looking Miriam entered the room.
"What's the matter B?" asked Miriam while yawing.
"Olga, says we have a niece; but that impossible! I don't remember having a niece name Eleanor," Big Bob said while he eyed Eleanor.
"You barely remember MY name Bob!" Helga said threw gritted teeth.
"Hey! Don't use that tone with me young lady! I DON'T want that kid here! Niece or no niece! She is going back to her parents this instant!" Big bob yelled angrily.
"B, come down, maybe we can take care of her…" Miriam said slowly.
"Miriam, this is my house and my rules! Besides she doesn't even look like a Pataki! She looks weak, I mean just look at the kid!" Big Bob said desperately.
Eleanor looked at her grandparents and she could feel tears forming in her eyes. What happened to her loving grandparents? Why are her mommy and grandpa fighting? Eleanor and Helga felt arms wrap around both of them in a protective manner, looking up they saw Arnold holding them with a scowl on his face.
"Mr. Pataki, that's enough! You may be the 'beeper king', but you have no right treating your niece or daughter in such a way!" Arnold said scowling.
Big Bob glared angrily at Arnold while Helga and Eleanor looked surprised. Big Bob looked like he was getting ready to kill someone and that someone had a football head. Arnold and Helga were now both arguing back and forth with Bib Bob and Eleanor wanting to help, looked)] around the room before spotting something in the corner of the room that made her face light up as she ran forward making sure not to interrupt her parents' or grandpa's argument.
"Furthermore young lady…"Big Bob continued, but was interrupted by a sweet melody.
Everyone stopped bickering and turned their attention to the piano, where they found Eleanor playing the sweet melody gracefully. Surprised looks came to all their faces, especially Helga's and Arnold's. Big Bob's look of shock turned into one of . . . pride? Yes, Pride! That was the best word to describe Big Bob's feeling towards the young girl. When Eleanor finished the song, she turned to look at her parents and grandparents.
"Look at that Miriam, Eleanor plays like Olga did when she was her age! She is defiantly a Pataki! C'mon Eleanor, play another one for your uncle!" Big Bob said proudly.
Eleanor smiled brightly at her granddad and nodded her head. Helga turned to look at Arnold with a look of disbelief, a hint of anger and something else shone threw her eyes. Helga quickly pushed Arnold's arms off of her and moved next to the piano with her parents.
Arnold rolled his eyes while he stood next to Helga and smiled at her in a way that made the girl in question's heart skip a beat.
After a few more songs Eleanor stopped playing completely while she looked up to her family, Miriam and Bob both had pleased looks on their faces while their eyes shown with pride; Helga and Arnold both had gentle smiles on their faces.
"Well the girl is a Pataki alright! I mean look at that talent, Miriam!" Big Bob said proudly.
"I saw B! Isn't she just adorable?" Miriam said surprisingly sounding energetic.
"So, I am guessing your niece stays right, Mr. Pataki?" Arnold asked hopefully while he secretly winked at Helga.
"Of course she stays! She can stay in…" Big Bob quickly stared but stopped looking confused while he looked at Helga
.
Quickly getting what was wrong, Helga's eyes narrowed and shone with bitterness.
"It's Helga, Bob. C'mon Eleanor, lets go upstairs so I can show you my room," Helga said almost softly as she began walking upstairs.
Helga was heading upstairs with Eleanor right behind her, but she abruptly stopped and looked at Arnold who was about to leave.
"Football Head, where do you think you're going?" Helga asked scowling.
"I was going back to my house Helga," Arnold said confused.
"No, you're not Football Head. You're going with me and helping me make Eleanor's visit a little more family like if you know what I mean," Helga said slowly and seriously.
"Whatever you say Helga," Arnold said smiling softly.
Helga, Arnold and Eleanor made their way upstairs, stopping by Helga's door. Arnold was not surprised when he saw Helga's room was pink; however, it did surprise him wasbeing in Helga's room. Helga sat on the bed while Eleanor sat on Helga lap looking quite happy being with her mom. All the while, Arnold was standing in the door way looking at the scene with a strange sensation in his stomach. Helga looked at him strangely and she saw how Arnold nervously looked away from her gaze.
"You can enter my room Football Head, I am not going to hit you or anything," Helga said rolling her eyes at him.
It wasn't that Arnold was scared or felt awkward being in Helga room's, it was just that it made him feel like he had butterflies in his stomach witnessing the scene before him, but he wasn't going to tell her that so Arnold just nodded his head and entered the room nervously.
"So, Football Head, I want to have a little talk with you about why Eleanor knows how to play the piano," Helga said seriously and looked at him like she was ready to find him guilty of something.
"What do you mean Helga?" Arnold stared back at her confused.
"I mean Eleanor must have learnt with someone and I bet that someone was my miss perfect sister Olga, but the only thing I need to know is, who in their right mind took our daughter to see my sister because I am sure as crisp it wasn't me," Helga said while scowling at Arnold.
"And you think I was the one to send her to see your sister? What proof do you have of that? I mean why don't you just ask Eleanor?" Arnold asked annoyed.
"Eleanor, where did you learn the piano? And who thought you? And if I am right about it being my know it all sister, who took you?" Helga asked Eleanor softly, but her eyes showed that she was not gonna drop the subject or accept anything that wasn't the truth.
"Dad took me to see Aunt Olga in the summer to practice the piano and have some time with my aunt. Mom, please don't be mad at Dad. I begged him to take me because you never take me to see my Aunt and you always said no. I am sorry, but please don't fight. You already fought over this in the future," Eleanor said honestly while she made her puppy eyes.
Helga was quiet as she listened to the information and let it all sink in from into her mind her mind. Arnold looked shocked and nervous by all this, waiting for Helga's outburst, but it never came. She just looked at him calmly before turning back to her daughter and asking:
"Did he sleep on the coach for a week?" Helga asked calmly.
"Two actually, but the second week you slept with him on the coach too," Eleanor said smiling at the memory.
"Okay," Helga said calmly and smiled a bit.
"So, what know, Helga? I mean it's getting pretty late and I better get going," Arnold asked nervously.
Helga looked at Arnold with an evil glint of mischief in her eyes and a smirk on her face. Eleanor looked at her parents knowing who was going to be the winner in the end, which made her smile. 'Just like back home' Eleanor thought while she giggled to herself.
"Stay Arnoldo, I mean you can stay the night so Eleanor won't feel so homesick without both her parents," Helga said innocently.
"But, Helga, I am sure your parents will mind that a boy is staying in your house," Arnold began swallowing nervously.
"Ohhh, please, Bob is probably watching the wheel, Miriam is probably getting one of her drinks and you just need to call the boarding house and say you're staying with Geraldo," Helga said while she rolled her eyes.
"I don't know Helga…" Arnold stared, but soon stopped when he saw Eleanor making her puppy eyes.
"Fine, I will stay; just give me a second to call to the boarding house ok?" Arnold asked while sighing.
When Arnold opened the door to Helga's room, he was welcome with Big Bob's voice yelling at the TV just like Helga predicted. Arnold left the room and as soon as he was gone Helga let out an audible swoon and let herself layback on the bed.
"I can't believe this is happening. My little love god is staying here for the night and WE have a daughter," Helga almost squeaked with happiness.
Eleanor looked at her mom and smiled to herself. This was part of the reason she came back to the past. She felt horrible for lying to them, but she couldn't tell them the entire truth of why she came back here. 'I love them both very much; I hope they don't hate me when they found out the entire truth. I just wish things where like the(y) used to be, but I know Mommy and Daddy will never…' Eleanor shook her head to eliminate the thoughts out of her head.
"So Eleanor can I ask you a question?" Helga asked looking at her with a smile.
"Sure mommy," Eleanor said smiling.
"What's next in your plan my brilliant daughter?" Helga asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I was hoping we could spend some family time together," Eleanor said beaming.
"I don't know Eleanor, Arnoldo and I have school," Helga sigh bitterly.
"That sucks Mommy," Eleanor said pouting.
"Maybe not Eleanor. Let me talk tomorrow with your father and we'll think of something. Thank goodness tomorrow is Saturday," Helga said grinning.
Arnold came back and he looked guilty as heck, but that didn't matter because Helga knew Arnold hated lying so she saw it as normal. Arnold sat beside Helga and looked at her curiously and with guilt still shinning in his eyes.
"Helga, where am I going to sleep?" Arnold asked curiously.
"That's easy Arnoldo, you're sleeping here with us, I mean the bed its big enough for us three," Helga said while rolling her eyes.
Arnold blushed at that and was about to complain, but a yawn from Eleanor made him stop. She looked so cute rubbing her eyes while cuddling close to Helga and giving him a sleepy smile while holding her hand to him.
Arnold felt his eyes soften and took her hand and made his way to sit behind Helga wrapping his arms around both his daughter and his wife. Helga cuddle more into Arnold while both of them blushed, but right know it felt… perfect.
Arnold looked at Helga and Eleanor's sleeping forms and smiled a bit while he tightened his hold on them. Looking down at his future wife, Arnold couldn't help but smile. He gently used his free hand to touch her cheek and softly stroked it. He felt her stir, but she didn't wake. 'She looks so beautiful when she (is) sleeping, almost like an angel. I wonder if she would mind if I kissed her?' Arnold thought as he blushed at his idea.
'I mean she is going to be my wife after all so… maybe she won't mind. Well I have two choices: I can do it and pray she won't wake up and beat me to a pulp or I can go back to sleep and pretend that I am not confused over my feelings for her' Arnold thought to himself.
He sighed and looked at Helga's lips they look so inviting, just calling to him. Remembering the FTI incident he decided to take the risk.
Leaning down slowly Arnold placed his lips down on Helga's in a gentle kiss.
Arnold felt the strange butterflies become stronger as he closed his eyes, he felt his heartbeat get quicker and he suddenly felt his feelings become clearer; he was in love with Helga G. Pataki. Breaking the kiss Arnold let himself blush and he lay back to his bed and looked over both the love of his life.' I always wanted a family and I guess I got it. This is my family' Arnold thought softly to himself as he felt himself get warm feelings in his heart.
Arnold buried his face in Helga's hair, intoxicated by her scent, smiling and gently closing his eyes before fell asleep. If Arnold had been looking at Helga, he would have probably noticed the happy smile that formed on her face. They stayed together like that the whole night sleeping peacefully and cuddling together like a family.
