November: Thanksgiving with Me maw and Pop-pop and a phone call from the Avengers.
Darcy sat on a plane to Texas headed to visit her Grandparents. But her thoughts and worries were concentrated on the tower wondering how the avengers were going to manage to make a meal with out her? darcy decided to stop worrying for a little while and try to sleep as much as she possibly could on a plane. Arriving in Texas Darcy met Pop-pop by the baggage claim he looked bored standing their by the carrousel
"Hey their Angel your me maw finally convince you to come." She nodded, Me maw could be quiet convincing she'd gilted Darcy into it.
" Yeah she did, she told me she was going to die any day now." She admitted, Pop-pop snorted "And you belived her? That sidewinder, darcy she's healthier than a horse she aint gonna pop her cork for another 35 years at least." He laughed Darcy did the mental math
"That would make her 114 at the time of passing Pop-pop you really belive that?"she asked he nodded wraping his arm around her shoulder leading her out of the airport
" That old battle axe wont die anytime soon Angel between you and me if the world ends only cockroaches and your Me maw will survie it." Darcy laughed as she climbed into her Pop-pops ancient chevy pickup. And they headed back to her grandparents old ranch house. It was painted red ,had chickens running around the front yard and a goat tied to the porch and even in November it was a sizziling eighty-nine degrees. It felt like summer she use to love coming her every June fishing Pop-pop and making cookies with Me maw. The door opened and Me maw rushed out onto the porch, wraping her arms around Darcy who hugged her back.
" Hey Me maw you look great for a dying person." She said kissing Me maws cheek the old woman smacked Darcy on the ass
"Behave yourself Darcy." she dragged her into the house that already smelled delicious" Already baking its three days before thanksgiving." she dropped her duffle bag onto the hall bench.
"Its only going to be the three of us anyway" Me maw gave a dramatic sigh and slamed a frypan on the stove and a dramatic sigh so long and over drawn Dracy had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.
"My ungrateful daughter is in maui my other grand children have better things to do than see their memaw." darcy rolled her eyes maybe this is were she got her dramatic flare from. darcy helped take the two fresh pecan pies out of the oven and placed them onto the counter as pop-pop came over with a glass with a lime wedge one sniff and darcy could tell what ever was in the glass had a generous portion of white lighting in it.
" Here you go Dee sparkling seltzer." with the way Me maw was fussing she could see why Pop-pop was starting early she eagerly took her glass and took a chug.
Thanksgiving came bright and early Me maw was already cooking when Darcy rolled into the kitchen at seven a.m. and the kitchen island was already full of food.
" You know its only three of us Me maw." her grandmother gave her a squinty eye but before she could say anything Darcy's phone rang she left the kitchen to see Peppers number.
"Hey Pep hows thanksgiving going so far? Turkey in the oven I know its early." Darcy sitting on the porch steps, Pepper sighed " Jane already killed the turkey we fell back on our backup plan I've order dinner from a nice restaurant." Darcy chuckled she figured that would happen.
" Probably safer that way Pep." Pepper laughed cheerfuly "It wont be good as yours Dee" she chripped
"Flattery will get you every ware." Darcy said on a laugh saying her goodbyes and went to help Me maw. Dracy was helping Me maw load the table with enormous amount of food Pop sighed heaven word
" Damn it Estelle will be eatin turkey for a week." he said setting a jug of red diamond tea on the table.
"Probably two" Darcy offered as she set sweet potato casserole on the table, Pop-pop turned probably to get a bottle of white lighting when Darcy's phone went off again. Glancing at it she noticed it was video chat from Pepper she clicked the go button. She could see everyone crowed behind Pepper waving.
"Hey guys" she said as she felt Pop-pop come behind her
" Happy Thanksgiving" Everyone shouted back, Darcy tired not to cry as she shouted it bag as well as her grandparents .She hadn't noticed Me maw sneaked up beside her, Me maw looked over at Darcy.
"Which gourgeous man is yours?" she asked Darcy, whom almost droped the phone as Pop-pop said
"Jesus Estelle she might not be datin anyone." he offered memaw snorted "of course she is with one of them lookin like that and god giftin her with that rack." Darcy ran towords the back door as she turned the back door as she heard some laughter on the phone.
"Not a word." she ground out at her phone
"We miss you!" Jane called Darcy laughed "You better" she said with a smile
" Were lost without you." Bruce called in return "Love you Darcy" everyone called she smiled blew kisses and siad
"love you too." then she hung up and headed back inside were Me maw and Pop-pop were waiting for her at the kitchen table.
" Really which hunk was yours?" Me maw asked as Darcy dropped into her seat she sighed almost face planting onto her empty plate.
" Lets just say grace, Estelle." Pop-pop said
