I do not own Scooby Doo and never will.

Jade was not usually nervous in fact fear and the likes of it were foreign to her. The only thing that would cause fear to enter her heart was her sister or Shaggy getting hurt and now Sugi and Silver. The last two had warmed their way into her heart. However at this point she was nervous very nervous now why do you ask.

The answer was Stacy Rogers for tonight Jade and Shaggy were going to have dinner with her. Shaggy had called his mom the day after he asked Jade to marry him and her answering yes. Stacy told him he wanted them both over for dinner and Ruby, Sugi and Silver were invited as well. So Shaggy got permission from Silver's mom to take her.

The young snake girl's mom trusted Shaggy so she agreed to allow her daughter to go. Stacy wanted to meet her daughter's other best friend. Stacy was very cool and accepting of the fact that her son was a werewolf and engaged to a vampire. She was also ok with the fact that her daughter was a witch.

She understood how her son became a werewolf it made sense in a twisted sort of way. She did not understand how her daughter was a witch that made no sense to her at all however she did not care. Shaggy and Sugi were her children and that was all that mattered to her. Stacy had a lot of time to think about Jade.

Now she had only talked to Jade for a few hours and knew little about her in comparison to Velma who she knew longer and talked with longer may of the talks annoyed Stacy. However Stacy liked Jade far better than Velma. Now sadly that was not saying much since Stacy did not like Velma much at all. Now she liked Velma as a person just not as a future daughter in law. She had been hoping the relationship between Shaggy and Velma would not last. She did not want it to end that way it did however.

However Stacy liked Jade better and would be glad to welcome Jade to the family. To Stacy Jade was kind and caring and had compassion the likes of which was rare in this day and age. Jade was smart as smart as Velma but unlike Velma Jade did not have the attitude that she was better than everyone else. Nor did she show off either.

Plus Jade was far more beautiful then Velma now on that note Stacy knew she would have pretty grandkids and that made her happy. She also did not care about the beauty part. Jade had explained that part to her and the kids. That night Jade told Stacy all the ins and outs of being a vampire. Some of the things freaked her out. Jade did admit that she took some of Shaggy's blood and found it very enjoyable she went into great details about it.

That was something else Stacy liked about Jade she was honest and upfront and also able to joke with people. She told Stacy that harming her loved ones would result in her going what she called crazy vampire mode which was not pleasant. She even told Stacy about her past with her ex. The whole blood thing freaked her out a lot but she was ok with it after some time and thinking.

Stacy liked Jade for one other reason and that was a simple one. Jade had brought Shaggy out of his shell after Velma's actions. Jade made Shaggy well Shaggy again and for that Stacy was grateful. Stacy could tell that Jade loved Shaggy and that was all that mattered.

Stacy was putting the finishing touches on the pasta and she made sure to have garlic. Jade really loved garlic and that surprised Stacy. That was one thing that shocked her. She discovered that many of the myths about vampires were false. Sunlight did not harm Jade unless she was in It for a long time, holy water only got her wet, a cross did nothing, she ate garlic a lot. A wooden stake through the heart could kill her Jade did say.

She also pointed out that so could a gun or having her head chopped off. She finished up the explanation like this.

"I am like a human the only difference is once a year I need human blood or else I will get weak and could die. I have great strength and speed and beauty." So Stacy made sure she had extra garlic for the two vampires that would be there.

Sugi had been emailing her about her friends and both of them sounded like a lot of fun. She had no more time to think since there is a knock on the door. When she opens that door she sees her children and Jade. She sees a little girl with the same hair color as Jade with brown eyes and a girl with black hair.

She guessed correctly that the red head was Ruby and the black haired one was Silver. Stacy was right which proved that Shaggy got his detective skills form not only his father. Ruby and Silver were a little weary at first of meeting Stacy. The girls at the school did not have many good experiences with mortals.

Silver and Sugi had their mothers but that was not enough other humans had tried to hurt them. .Sugi also had her brother until he was transformed. Ruby had no human contact expect for Jade's former friends. Ruby was unsure of them at the time and she was furious when her sister was hurt by them. However Silver and Ruby respected Shaggy and Sugi so they would trust Stacy. In their minds if she raised Shaggy and Sugi then she was ok.

The point was proven when Stacy told Silver it was ok for her to show her true form. Silver was a little scared but a smile form Shaggy put her at ease. So she dropped the spell she was under. She stood on two legs but had the body and tail of a snake. She was a silver color which is why she was given the name of Silver.

Stacy smiled and commented on how beautiful Silver was. Stacy was not at all freaked out by Silver. When asked why she had this to respond to.

"My son is a werewolf and engaged to a vampire, my daughter is a witch her best friends are a vampire and snake. So it is normal to me." Silver smiled and hugged Stacy this action took her by surprise but she gladly returned the hug.

Afterwards food was served and it was a fun meal. Stacy noticed that Jade the whole time was nervous. It was getting late and the girls had all fallen asleep so all that were awake were Stacy, Shaggy and Jade. Stacy asked the question that had been bugging her and this was not about Jade she would ask later about Jade.

"Why are Silver and Ruby so scared? It makes no sense Silver was raised by her human mother." Shaggy sighed unsure of how he should answer. Jade snuggled up to him since they were on the couch. That was the sign that he should be honest. How he knew that was the sign was unclear he just did he never tried to figure it out it just made sense.

"Mom you need to understand all of the girls minus Sugi have had bad experiences with humans. Silver's mom and you are the expectation with most of the girls. Most parent they when they discover their kid is a monster they beat them and force them on the streets. Many are killed due to that reason. To them humans want to kill them. We are unsure how girls like Sugi become monsters but we know it happens."

Stacy was unsure about how to take this in. She wanted to help out she did not know how to do it. She put it in the back of her mind to ask later right now she needed to talk to Jade.

"So Jade why have you been nervous around me?"

"I am sacred you will make Shaggy leave me and I do not want to lose him." Jade answered and Shaggy pulled her into a hug and held her tighter. Shaggy whispered into her ear that was never going to happen until they both died. This relaxed Jade a little bit.

"Last time I was here I was helping Sugi but it has been several months so I am worried." Jade said but with less fear in her voice.

"You need not worry for I like you Jade I really like you and I think you are perfect for my son. I can see the love in your eyes the love you both have for each other. Also you are much better then Velma. You are not arrogant like she is." Stacy said which caused Jade to smile very brightly.

The rest of the night went like that talking close to ten Shaggy and Jade picked up the girls and teleported to the school. That night as they were in bed cuddling and Shaggy was stroking her hair he spoke.

"I told you she would accept you." Jade cuddled deeper for never had she felt this warmth and love before expect with her parents.

"I know but I can still be nervous." A kiss was shared and they fell asleep.
