Shego groaned as she stretched. Looking over she came face to face with Kim and almost freaked out until she realized that it was just her little redhead. Then Shego looked over Kim's right shoulder and found Bonnie on her belly with the back of her head to Shego. Shego sighed and looked up at the ceiling. To be honest she couldn't be mad but she also couldn't be happy as this was just going to fuel the teasing from her parents, grandmother, and her brother's. Shego groaned in frustration and gently got out to the bed and quietly stepped out of the room. Shego stopped as she got close to the kitchen and grumbled when she heard her Mother and Father talking about her, Bonnie, and Kim. "So, when do you think firefly will propose?" Devon asked as he gingerly took a sip from his steaming cup.
Shego dried her hair as she stepped out of the bathroom after a warm and relaxing shower. She stepped into her room to find that Bonnie and Kim were sitting on her bed on their phone and Kimmunicator. Shego raised an eyebrow at this and walked over to the bed. "What are you two doing?"
Kim and Bonnie looked up at Shego as if she was asking why water is wet. "We thought that we were sleeping in here with you."
Shego looked confused before she realized that she hadn't shown the two where their bedrooms are in the commotion. "Ohh. Sorry. I forgot to show you where your rooms are." Shego put the towel at the end of the bed and pecked her head out the cracked door. Seeing that her parents door at the far right of the hallway was closed she assumed they were asleep and seeing that her brothers on the west wing probably didn't know where the girls were going to sleep either she didn't see the point in going all the way over there just to be told to "Go ask Mom and Dad." and when she answered with "Mom and Dad are asleep." to be answered with "Go ask Grandma.". Shego sighed and told the two women to stay there while she goes and asks her Grandmother where the two were supposed to sleep. When Shego made it to her Grandmothers room the door was cracked open and she could hear her grandmother's voice. She was talking to someone on the phone. "Listen, Carmella. Everything is fine. Everyone made it in safe, even my uninvited daughter and son."
Silence.
"Yes, I will see you tomorrow."
Shego knocked on the door as her Grandmother hung up on the woman. "Nonna?"
Alessandra looked up at the door, "Yes, come in Tesaro" (Darling) Shego walked in and watched as her Grandmother fidgetted with her phone. "Speak Bambina" (Child)
Shego sighed "Who was that?"
Alessandra took a deep breath "That was Carmella. My latest Amante" (Lover)
Shego raised an eyebrow, "Lover? You mean she isn't a-"
"Amico Amante?" (Friend Lover)
"Emphasise on a friend." Shego smiled.
Alessandro smiled sadly, "Bambina, I'm getting older and I can't be on this earth forever. I'm...becoming lonely and...I don't want to leave this earth without trying...to find the love your grandfather gave me...even without the gift of a child."
Shego smiled, "Good Nonna. I'm happy for you." Alessandra smiled and stood up out of her office chair and hugged her granddaughter for a few minutes before asking "Okay, now tell me what you really needed."
"Oh...I forgot to show the girls where they would be staying and I didn't even know for myself."
Alessandra chuckled, "They will have to stay with you for tonight since I didn't plan on guests."
Shego blushed and nodded before walking out of the room.
"I don't know. But I hope it's soon." Isabel sighed happily.
"Yeah, I want more grandkids," Alessandra said walking in with nothing but a robe on.
"Mom put some clothes on!" Isabel yelled covering her eyes. Alessandra just rolled her eyes and grabbed the orange juice out of the fridge.
"And don't you think you've had enough grandchildren?" Devon asked looking into his coffee mug.
"Yes-"
"Then why do you want more grandchildren?" Isabel interrupted.
"I have enough male grandchildren. I want more female grandchildren to balance out the number of males and females." Alessandra piped back before chugging some orange juice down.
Isabel made a disgusted face at the sight of her mother drinking out of the carton, "Remind me to never drink out of that carton again." Isabel sighed and smiled, "So, you really think Shego will marry the two?"
Alessandra shrugged and wiped her mouth, "I had three husbands before you were born and six wives throughout your life, so there is a chance she could marry the two and there's a chance she won't and that she will and just end up divorcing the two."
Isabel's eyes went wide, "What do we do to keep them married?"
Alessandra shrugged. "Well, why did you stop marrying men and women?"
Alessandra laughed in her thick italian accent and smiled, "I got sick of getting pregnant, I had had three miscarriages and finally had you...I wasn't going to chance it and have you grow up without a mother and go through the pain I had to go through with losing someone...so I...stopped going out and got married to your father. After your father died I...went through a hard time. Then I found myself and found out new things. Like that, I like both men and women. And that I was interested in marrying a woman." Alessandra took a big swig of the orange juice.
"You...stopped trying for more children for...me?" Isabel felt tears welling up in her eyes and smiled as she started to cry.
Alessandra walked over to her daughter and hugged her tight and close, "Of course, I'd rather have you grow up knowing you mother than not. And I didn't want to bring a child in the world and not be there to tell them it isn't their fault."
Isabel hugged her mother tighter. Shego walked in and smiled, "Good to see you two getting along." Shego walked over to the fridge and grabbed the milk. Alessandra and Isabel looked at the pale woman suspiciously.
