DM The Mrs Clause Chapter 4
Lucy took hold of the stethoscope's disc and spoke into it. "I said I woke up in the morning and in the afternoon my weight looks a little like this!" she said, fuming. The doctor got a bit nervous by Lucy's anger, but she recovered herself. "Well, it could be a hormonal imbalance". ''That would explain the mood swings'' Lucy muttered. "And now look at me!" she ranted furiously. "My hair is still red and ginger as always, but my weight's gone up since last time!". ''It's young age buddess'' said the doctor, ''It happens and with that body, you should be thankful you have hair''.
Lucy finally calmed down, exhaling deeply, "Yeah, you're right''. "OK," the doctor said. "Up with the shirt. Let's take a listen to the old boomer". The doctor put her stethoscope in her ears and listened to Lucy's heart. Ahhh!" yelped Lucy. "It's cold! Freezing cold!". The doctor breathed on her stethoscope to warm it up and tried again. Pump, pump, pump, pump went Lucy's heart. On her way home, Lucy drove past the park where Margo, Edith and Agnes were playing soccer with their friends, Nia, Sophie and Jessica.
Gru, Dru and the other girls moms were there watching. ''Hello'' Lucy called as she walked up to them.
''Hello honey'' said Gru, ''How did it go at de doctors?''. "So far so good" replied Lucy. Just then the coach blew the whistle and the girls went to meet their parents. Margo, Edith and Agnes saw their mom's bare belly hanging out of her blue shirt. "Mom! What happened to your weight?!" Edith asked. "It's just a weight loss, Edith" Lucy explained. "I can see your belly button!" Agnes exclaimed. Later on that day when they had gone home, Lucy was surprised when loads of boxes arrived for her in the mail. They completely filled the hallway! She found a letter. It was the good and bad lists!
The next day, Lucy went for a walk to see who was on what list. Then when she got back, she sorted herself out in the bathroom. As time went on, Lucy ate plenty of fruit and vegetables and did all sorts of exercise desperate to get thin again. Then one day as Lucy thought she was looking thin again, her belly puffed out once more as if by magic. Lucy sighed heavy heartedly. "I'm in big trouble" she thought to herself. When it was Christmas Eve once again, Lucy and the girls got ready to flew around the world to deliver the presents. They found that the sleigh could even make them hot chocolate and cookies.
"Mom, you're Santa?!" exclaimed Edith as they flew high through the cold dark sky. ''Yes Edith'' said Lucy triumphantly, ''I'm Mrs Clause''.
As they had their hot chocolate and cookies, Lucy said, ''How could I have done this without ya girls?''. ''You couldn't'' Margo pointed out. Lucy chuckled. At the house where Lucy had meet the little girl sleeping on the sofa, she was there again sleeping in an armchair. Lucy tucked her up in the blanket burying her in the process and shushing her. Then she headed back up the chimney to her own girls and off they went to the next house. When Lucy was at the next house, she didn't notice there was someone else with a touch in there too!
''Freeze!'' shouted a voice and someone turned on the light making Lucy jump. It was some police officers! ''You officers really made me jump!'' said Lucy, ''Merry Christmas guys!''. ''Not for you fat girl'' said one of the cops. "Fat girl?" Lucy repeated, puzzled and stern. "Well, excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm not fat!". ''Take her away boys!'' ordered the cop who happened to be the police chief. The other two cop grabbed Lucy and carried her outside. "LET ME GO!" grunted Lucy as the cops threw her into their car and shut the door on her, "OOF!". Margo ran up to the cops and wailed, ''Please don't take my mom away!''. ''Young lady. Your mom has committed a criminal offense'' said one of the cops.
"If you arrest her, you're gonna have to arrest me!" Margo said. The cops ignored her and drove away with Lucy. ''I'll be fine Margo!'' Lucy shouted, ''Don't you worry, my baby!''. ''What are we gonna do?'' asked Edith.
"We can't do this alone. I'm going to call Dad!" replied Margo getting out her phone. At the police station, the cops carried a struggling Lucy inside by the Santa pants and jacket to a desk where the police chief sat. ''What have we here?'' asked the police chief. ''Lucy Gru, age 37'' said one of the cops, ''Suspect of breaking into people's houses dressed as Santa Clause'' said another. The sergeant came over and took Lucy into another room. ''Look'' he said, ''I know you're Lucy Gru, you know you're Lucy Gru. So let's make this simple. I say name. You say Lucy Gru''.
Lucy didn't respond. She only managed to keep her big mouth shut. ''Name?'' asked the judge. "Kristen Wigg!" said Lucy. ''Name?'' asked the judge again. "Kate Mckinnon" said Lucy. ''Name?'' asked the judge for the third time. "Janeane Garofalo" said Lucy. ''Ok Grucy'' said the sergeant, ''Maybe a couple of hours in the tank will change your mind''. With that Lucy found herself locked up in a jail cell! Meanwhile Gru had come to rescue the girls after getting Margo's call. Dru, Lucky the goat and the minions had come along too. Then Gru flew them all to the police station and landed the airship on the ground next to the entrance.
They went inside to where the chief was sitting at the desk. He was sitting at his desk, watching an episode from his phone on YouTube and eating a donut and drinking coffee. ''We're looking for Mrs Clause'' said Gru.
''Go home all of you'' said the chief, ''Visiting hours are over''. Gru yanked out his freeze ray and pointed it at the chief. ''We're not visiting'' said Margo, ''We're here burst out my mom''. ''And mine'' said Edith, ''Mine too'' finished Agnes.
