I do not own
"I though t your charge was much older?" Bishop asked leaning on a wall looking at the bundle
"She is." Pandora said sitting down carefully on her couch "This is my child Zia Marilyn I regretfully had to have my son watch her." She said looking to the bundle with a sad gaze
"Why is she covered up like that?" Bishop asked while walking to the window
"She coughed and after I put her in this I freaked and called her doctor." He said it was nothing, I thought he was an idiot so I called three others said the same thing." She said she stood up walking over to him making sure he couldn't see her face.
"I will most likely see her in two hours; can you make a tracer in that time?" She asked looking at him
He dug into his pocket, taking out something in a bag. "Press the button until you hear a click and place it on her where she won't see, it won't have a flash or anything."
Pandora took it, putting it in her bra "All right now the second part how much you are paying me for my services?"
He looked at her "I am blackmailing you."
"Yes, you are." She got closer to him "That's what got me interested, you want me to do a god job however I will need payment." She said with a smirk
Bishop mentally growled, but yet liked her style. "How about this you and her will go out and then we meet afterwards and I somewhat reimburse you."
Pandora shook her head "Oh please I want half my money." She noticed he didn't move. "Or I can contact April and say some horrible man attacked me saying his name was Bishop. I have the makeup skills to see like you beat me so either we can get the police in this you can pay me?" She whispered
"You play hard; your services had better be good." He said taking out a credit card and giving it to her. "You should only use that so I can check on you."
"Of course." The baby started fussing in her arms. "Excuse me, she needs to be changed." She went to the coffee table picking up the diaper bag. "Help yourself in the kitchen." She said going to a bedroom.
Bishop went to the kitchen and he saw a cookbook open and he saw three plates. First one had cookies, middle carrot cake and the last had donuts.
He chose two cookies and saw their were mini plates behind them. He put them on and started eating them. While eating the first one he looked around for cup and then went in the fridge for milk.
"No milk?" He sighed
He heard keys at the front door and soon heard it open "Aunt Chaos were here!" A girl yelled while the door closed.
Bishop went to investigate. He saw three girls, triplets by the look of it. The first girl was a healthy pale, black hair straight down to her waist, with two bleach blond stripes on both sides of her face. She was wearing red lipstick that resembled a rose. She was wearing a skirt that went to her knees, with red stockings and black heeled boots. She was wearing a black jacket zipped up, and wearing a ring, with what looked to be a real ruby. Her nails were also painted black.
On the other side was a girl with a natural tan, wearing glitter and light makeup around her face. She was wearing a short pink and black skirt that was tiny. She was wearing a baby blue shirt with a colorful headband. Her hair was dyed a light brown with a pink stripe in her hair in a ponytail.
The middle one was wearing a black short skirt with pants underneath, and a pink shirt. She had make up that showed her green eyes. She was wearing black pumps. Her hair was black as well but blown out and had no stripes in her hair.
They were all the same size small but curvy and were developed.
""Hope! How many times must I tell you not to yell?" The glitter girl yelled at her sister wearing all black
"Oh who cares?" The middle one said running into the other door.
Glitter girl saw him and smiled "You could have interrupted their time together!"
Bishop was shocked by her accusation
"Oh, please he's clothed they are done." Dark girl said rolling her eyes
Glitter pushed her sister while she was walking over to the couch. Glitter girl walked over to him "Hi, I'm Raven girl with no manner is Hope." She said nudging her head to the couch.
Hope waved her arm while turning on the TV. "Hey."
He shook her hand "Bishop, and were not together."
Raven put a hand over her mouth looking at him strangely "Why, our aunt is hot."
Bishop was thinking of what to say by the time he opened his mouth Pandora came in.
"Don't pester my guests." She said kissing Hope on the head, being careful with the baby in her arms. She put Zia in her arms. She walked over to Raven "Give me a hug, glitter fairy."
Raven giggled running over to her aunt and hugging her tight. After they stopped she looked around "Where is Chandler?"
"Bathroom." The girls said Raven found a show about cars getting up carefully heading to the fridge.
"No milk." Bishop said finishing his cookies.
"Damn!" Hope said pouting. "Hey Chaos, is Mrs. Kelly still around?"
Pandora who just finished hugging Chandler "Yes, why?" She asked unsure
"No more milk." Bishop and Hope said together
"Jinx you owe me a soda dude." Hope said smirking at him
He rolled his eyes at her "If that is all you have to tell me, I will take my leave." He left for the door.
Hope followed him out the door though she went to the elevator he went to the steps "I'm not kidding about that soda."
She smiled when she saw his hand wave, she pressed the up button. She looked to her new cousin, the child was strange.
She was awake but did not say or do anything, she stared and observed.
"I guess that's a smart thing." Hope said as the door opened and she went in pressing five.
"You are going to love our family; though we are loud it is all out of love. Also you will know an instrument and learn a language or two, my dad your uncle will teach you how to ride a motorcycle. You will be the coolest girl to arrive on her first day and when it rains or gets cold we will pick you up in a hummer. You'll be so smart and pretty and you will never be alone with us. We even have family in Egypt. His name is Amon he is a doctor, he seems scary but he's not he's your first older brother."
Zia laughed
Hope smiled "It is funny especially since he was around during tombs, trust me don't do the math. We have one rule don't ask us about our age. Though I'll tell you a secret. My sisters and I are sixty though we look thirty." She even whispered it in her ear.
The baby started moving and laughing "Yeah, I know if they found out about us they would have a new definition of cougar."
The elevator dinged "Well here we are." The doors opened and she walked the old lady's door.
Back at the Apartment
"Chaos." Chandler moaned looking in the fridge "How can you be out of milk?"
"Use water, it won't hurt." Pandora said eating some carrot cake
"Watching Friday again Chaos?" Raven said with a smile who was channel flipping.
Pandora shrugged "I didn't want to sleep only to get up in an hour."
"That's right, the little girl. How is she?" Chandler asked while opening a water bottle
"She'll have confidence soon and she's getting meat on her bones."
"That's good." Raven said smiling at seeing what was coming on she turned to it.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but..
Pandora laughed and sang with Raven while Chandler rolled her eyes.
Raven and Pandora high-five one another once the song stopped playing.
"Ha-ha like I haven't heard it before." Chandler said rolling her eyes and finished the last bite of her aunts carrot cake piece.
"Cheer up sis." Raven said slinging an arm on her shoulder "Friends will only be popular for twenty more years." She said kissing her head
Chandler groaned, but smiled when she heard her phone beep. She took it out her bra and checked it. She jumped up and down "Yay! New episode."
She ran to the couch hopping over it and grabbing the remote. She went to the anime section of the TV and clocked on Tokyo Mew Mew.
"Lady like darling." Pandora said and looked at the clock on her oven. "Well I sadly have to go girls, Grace Ivy must meet her new friend April." She walked into the bedroom.
Hope had come back with a pitcher of milk. "Cookies and milk yay."
"Awesome! Can't have a sleepover without." Raven said
Pandora came back in her costume kissing them all bye and hugged the baby. While she walked down the stairs she called the school and got her charge on the phone.
"Hi Katie, remember when I showed you my nieces?"
"Yeah, why?" The girl asked curious and worried
"I have to go to a business meeting. They will be sleeping over with their little sister, though you won't see her much or at all. Your brother should be coming over at dinner time. Do you remember what they look like?"
"Yeah, and I have the picture of them on my phone and their names. Hope is the oldest, Chandler is middle child and Raven is the youngest."
"Good girl, two of them will be coming over in one of my cars to pick you up okay. It will be like any other day, though I am sure they will let you have more sweets and probably make something sweet as well. Chandler is good at reading and writing, Raven is good at math and Hope is good at science. Alright this is my last time until you are thirteen I will have a late night visit. I promise."
"Okay." Katie said
"Also expect for them to take you shopping they have different styles. Anything you want to tell me?"
"I got an A on my math test and English test!" She said excited
"I told you, you knew that stuff. Alright I got to go mommy loves you." She made a kissing noise and waited for Katie to do the same thing and waited for her to hang up.
Pandora relaxed herself before putting on her smile "April, I am so sorry I am late but I had a buyer who has money." She complained to April hugging her
"Okay… a buyer that has money is a good thing." April said returning the hug and looking at her confused
"Not this man. He not only took an hour to choose what collection he wants to see but he also tried to haggle. If you can afford three suites her and in LA. You have no business haggling, I almost wanted to give him it but I kept my nerve."
She said sitting on a chair exhausted though she stopped when she saw the newspaper sliding off. She got up and went over to the counter. She picked it up and began reading Egyptian artifacts found. She looked at a picture of a bracelet, it was made of gold and looked like a snake wrapping itself around you wrist or upper arm.
" بلدي سوار" She whispered thinking of her husband
"What?" April asked
"A beautiful bracelet." She said putting the paper in the trash.
"I am starved let's find a great place to eat." She said smiling
