That night had been the most spectacular night of Amelia's life. she never guessed the bumbling doctor could be such a romantic. Dinner and dancing under the stars was all it took for him to capture the heart of the yougn felind Captian.
While Amelia was swooned her older sister was not. Victoira had a strong dis-like for canid's for unknown reasons. And was not pleased her baby sister choose one to fall in love with...
"don't you have your own issues to attend to Tori ?" Amelia asked boredly one day after listening to her sister's ranting.
"Do not put me off Amelia!"
"I'm not Victoria I hear you loud and clear...But I love Delbert , and oyu need to worry more about your own daughter than me ."
"Don't tell me how to raise my daughter!"
"right , Cause you've done such a marvalous job Tori!"
Vicotira glared and her sister and stomped to the door then looked back , "While you're enjoying your love fest I'm going to defend my ethrium!" Walked out slamming the door behind her.
Amelia sighed and went into her living room and sat down brewing her some coffee and reading the paper."I hope she don't get her fool self kill" Amelia worried.
As Victoira stomped off to the jeep the navy provided her Minerva came up behinder .
"Whats our next move?" Victoria looked at the girl shockly.
"You're staying here Minerva."
"No mother you need me!"
Victoira was still surprised the girl wanted anywhere near herusually she would have done stomped off by now.
"Minerva I do not want you getting hurt!"
"Mum , frankly you didn't know or care where I was for four-teen years now is not the time to start worrying. "
"Minerva , I did care , I did! Just I- ugh never mind come on then!" Victoira snapped hopping into the jeep hurt at her own daughter's words.
Minerva could see this hurt and mumbled , "I'm sorry .."
Victoira could see the girl was trying...maybe she should too.
"It's fine dear.." She said quite soothingly despite her character.
The two drove to a battle that was happening on Montressor in the junlge reigon.
"Minerva be carful those bloody Proc's could be any where..." Vicotira whispered barly audible.
"Got-cha mum."
'She's calling me mum...much better than Victoria... ' Vciotira thought as she stepped through the mossy ground and thick branches. Flash backs ravenged her mind.
Fourteen years ago Victoria Smollet was running through the jungle just reached her ninth month of her pregnacy , the female Admrial had hidden her on coming baby for all these months only gaining a few pounds. And going to her friend who was a doctor . But now running from the Procyon Mafia for her life the young woman could tell it.
She collasped from not sleeping in threee days the humidity was killing her... sweat run off her like running water. If only Richard was here he'd protect her...She wouldn't be doing this she'd be at home with him planning the arrival of their first born baby girl...
She felt a pain in her abdomen and started praying to God it wasn't what she thought it was..not now...She was so close to ending the opperation of these Proc smugglers she had to push on but when she moved she cried out.
It was that time . 'Please not now...' she layed there pain coming in waves over her. 'What do I do..' she thought. There was no way she could make it back to the village...
she was near blacking out when she herd footsteps .
'They've found me...this is it..'
"Miss are you alright?" A young female voice said to her.
she looked up to see a village girl no older then twenity standing over her. Victoiria rasped her situation to her and they girl knelt down to help her .Victoria didn't rememebr much after that she blackout right at the moment her baby was born.
She woke up sometime later inthe village hospital with the girl standing next her smiling.
vicotira followed the girls gaize and seen her baby lying next to her sound asleep. Victoria smiled lifting her gently into her arms. She had Vicotira's hair but everything else was Richard.
The baby woke up reviling her purple eyes cooing softly at her mother.
"I'm going to name you...Minerva. and you will be my baby girl...forever until the stars fall out of the sky." she whispered holding the baby close the last thign she had of her late husband. It was nearly a month later Victoira realized her job was to risky to have a baby...
With the heaviest heart anyone could know she gave her child away...They were friends of Richard's they promised to care for their baby like she was a princess..Victoiria turned away tear's falling free from her face. 'Stop it!' she scolded her self . 'You're giving her a better life!' She turned back and glanced as the couple took her baby away...
'I love you...my Minerva..'
"Mum? Mum? Montressor to Victoira!"
Vicotira shook her head looking at her daughter, "Yes Minerva?"
"Didn't you hear me?"
"No dearest...I zoned out..."
"I said should we make camp here?"
"Sure Minerva."
After building a very small fire they both sat there in alittle while Victoria herd something.
"Minerva..get low." She flatten her ears and looked around...then she seen a Procyon standing less then ten feet of her daughter she grabbed her gun and stood up to shoot him when a pain in her neck caused her to fall down.
"Mum!" minerva yelled and raised her own gun and shot the Prcoyon down where he stood the one who shot her mother got away as soon as he came.
"M-mum...mama?" Minerva knelt down next to Victoira's still body.
"Minerva.." she whsipered.
"mum! w-what'd be do to you. "
"Dart hun'...he poisoned me.."
minerva bit her lip and turn her mother over to look for the dart...it had boken off into Victoira's skin.
It was working faster now...it had reached her blood stream.
Victoiria felt numb her mind floating in and out of conciousness.
"Mum please s-stay with me..."
"Tell my sister I-I'm sorry..."
"you can tell her mum you're going to be fine. " Tears formed in the young girls eyes as she watched her mother's breaths become ragged.
Her mother opened her eyes again and looked up at her.
"Minerva." She rasped.
"Yes mum." Minerva said in almost a state of panic.
"I-I want you to have this.." She slipped off the engagement and wedding band set she had from Richard. Placing them in her daughter's hands.
"Mum I can't take this..it's yours from daddy. "
"He'd want you to have it Minerva..Tell my nieves I love them too.I'm sorry for hwta I did Minerva..I was trying to give you a better future."
"I know mama..save you breath and strength okay? I'll try to get us some help-"
"Don't leave me..."Victoira sat back down and brushed a hand across her mother's smooth cheek.
Minerva watcched her mother slowly dendle away...
'Please don't leave me... '
A/n :'( That is all ...
