Jennifer Chapter 7
The drive to the city wasn't too long till Samantha pulled the car into a parking lot and left the car to get to the trunk. Jennifer was a bit confused why she wasn't getting her out, but that soon turned to horror as she saw her getting a giant pink baby stroller out and walked back to her.
Samantha opened the door while Manda was holding the baby stroller. Samantha opened the door and unbuckled her daughter from the seat. "Come now sweetie pie. We will have a nice walk to a restaurant to get some breakfast before we go to the HAA for your adoption papers. Ooooh, I just can't wait to make you officially my little baby girl!" said Samantha with a little bounce as she buckled Jennifer in the stroller in a sitting position.
Jennifer had to admit, despite the embarrassment she felt for sitting and dressed like a baby in a stroller, it was rather comfy to sit in. As the last lock was in place, Samantha gave her a kiss on the nose before going back behind the stroller. Jennifer was caught by surprise by that action and just sat there confused. She didn't even notice one of Mandas tails pushing a pacifier with a ribbon in her mouth and clipping it to her dress.
The family of three moved along the sidewalk. Jennifer tried at first to get out of the stroller, but soon realized it wouldn't work. She sat back and took a look around. Everywhere she saw Pokemon wearing clothes and walking by. Sometimes with their own human children along with them. But mostly, they were also sitting in strollers or even being carried in the arms of their new parents.
Jennifer could hear Samantha talking to Manda: "If this is a dream, I hope I will never wake up. We two together with our baby girl walking down the street at a sunny day." A happy sigh could be heard at the end.
"If this is a dream, I hope to wake up any second now." thought Jennifer to herself. She then noticed her buggy did a turn and they entered what looked like a restaurant. Jennifer was facing away from the reception and stared out the glass door.
She could hear Manda talking with the receptionist: "A table for 3 please." said Manda to the receptionist. "Sam! Manda! It's really been a while since I last saw you two. And what is that I hear about a table for 3? Did you bring a guest with you?" gushed the voice at them.
Samantha giggled at the enthusiasm of the other one and said proudly: "Well, something like that. Kara, let me introduce you to our new baby daughter: Jennifer Fireflower."
The stroller was turned around, to give the receptionist a good look at the occupant inside. Jennifer was surprised by what she saw and her mouth fell open and the pacifier out, which dangled now on the clip of her outfit.
The receptionist was no one less than a UXIE! The Pokémon of knowledge was now working as a receptionist in a restaurant! Kara looked down at Jennifer with a warm smile and hovered down to her eye level.
"Hello sweetie! My gosh, you are so cute. Just look at you! You look like your mommy." said Uxie with a little squeal at the end and started tickling Jennifer, who couldn't help and started giggling. "Are you a cute little Fennekin? Are you? Yes you are. Yes you are!" said Kara in baby talk.
Manda and Samantha watched the scene for a while with happy smiles before interrupting. "I'm sorry for interrupting, but we would like to take our seats." said Samantha, happily hearing the giggles from her daughter.
Kara stopped tickling Jennifer, who was now a bit panting for air. She grabs the pacifier and puts it back in Jennifer's mouth, who didn't resist against it. Kara lead the family to a table at the windows, where a highchair was already in place. Despite he hoping, Samantha lifted Jennifer out of the stroller and sat her in the highchair before a bib was tied around her neck. "To make sure your cute outfit stays clean." explained Samantha.
Manda took her place in one of the adult chairs, and Samantha took the place opposite from her. Jennifer was sitting at the end of the table between them with a red face in embarrassment. "Honey, are you feeling alright? You are pretty red." said Manda and put one of her tails on her daughters forehead. "Hmm... you seem a bit warm, but not feverish."
"That probably comes from having two fire pokémon as her mommies." said a new voice from behind Jennifer. As she turned around, she saw a Simisage women in jeans and a shirt. Samantha and Manda smiled at the Simisage and greeted her: "Hello Linda. I see you are back from your vacation." said Samantha.
"Yes. But it wasn't much of a vacation. As you probably heard, my bus was attacked and me and other pokémon were taken hostage by Team Rocket. I would still be there, if it weren't for The Mask saving us." explained Linda. "But, enough about this. I see you two have become mommies while I was away?" Linda smiled and ruffled Jennifer's hair between her fake Fennekin ears.
Samantha smiled proudly and said: "Yes. May I introduce to you our new baby girl, Jennifer Fireflower. She is actually my old trainer."
Linda giggled at the clearly heard happiness in Samantha's voice and introduced herself to Jennifer: "Hello, sweetie. My name is Linda Berger. But you can call me Aunty Linda." She then took a notepad and pen from her pockets and asked: "Alright. And what can I bring the happy family? It will be on the house for you, to celebrate your new baby."
Manda giggled and said: "Well, I could try to tell you that you don't need to do that, but I know you well enough to know, I can't win this argumentation. So, I think we take the breakfast special for 3."
Linda wrote it all down and then asked with a glance at Jennifer: "Will that be all from the adult menu?"
"Yes. We promised her that, we would allow her adult food, as long as she behaves." explained Manda.
"Alright. Your food will be out shortly." said Linda and walked into the kitchen.
"I'm really proud of you for not flipping out, princess. I now it can't be easy for you to adapt." said Samantha and gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead. Jennifer in return blushed even more and tried to hide her face behind her hair.
Samantha just moved the hair behind her ears (the normal ones) and said: "You don't need to be embarrassed. You saw all the other families with their little ones on the way here. They are all like you. Humans with their new pokémon families." after some pats on her daughters head, she continued: "How about, after we got to the HAA, we go to the playground? I'm sure you will like it there and maybe even make some new friends."
Jennifer gulped and said: "That... sounds ok... I guess."
Samantha smiled a bit wider that her daughter actually agreed with her. And soon enough, the food arrived and they all started eating.
That's the last chapter for this year. I wish you all a Happy New Year!
