READ THIS NOTE BEFORE YOU READ!!

this Miss Goose is not the same from chapter 2.


"5 pounds says she drinks and has to rescedule her appointment" Miss Bunting leaned back against the wall of a building as she watched her 2 sisters disappear onto the huge ship destined for North America.

"10 pounds. " Miss Wren leaned forward, adjusting her new sequined shawl she had just aqquired from a little stand not to far doen the road.

"Finch wont do that. shes been trying to get into this peculiar doctor for months. the next appointment he has open to even conduct the test She needs for her migranes is in late January." miss Avocet rolled her eyes at her sisters shenanigans. "And stop betting on our sister that is quite rude!"

The Bunting rolled her eyes, then turned back to Miss wren while Miss Avocet's back was turned, talking with another peculiar gentleman.

"11 pounds."


"Ugh" Miss Finch rolled her eyes angrily as she stepped off the liner onto American soil. "Where are you Sophie?" the rather tiny woman started to push her way through the crowd, tugging her partner and travel buddy miss Edna Goose along.

"Stop being so negative Maybelle. you get to go see your family!" Edna glanced up to the painted sky, the huge, dark ocean liner bobbing gently in the light breeze.

"If you met my family, you would understand why I drink every thanksgiving I am forced to go see them. they despise me and disdowned me at 15, Edna! the only reason I am going is for my brother. He's the only family I even care about, my only living peculiar realtive, and plus said he really needed to see me specifically." Miss Finch tugged her suitcase along the cobblestone street that was packed with little kids in winter clothing, all excitedly weaving around the adults, excited for the holiday.

"Miss Finch, Miss Goose?" A tiny child, not older than age 7 shyly tugged on Miss Finches sleeve. both females turned, making contact with a young boy. he wore a nicely collared shirt, hair black hair complementing his freckled skin. he wore a hat that rested on the brim of dark glasses.

"Yes?" Miss Goose bent down, knowing her partner wasnt one for talking. Miss Finch stayed silent to the side, observing everything around her including the child with warm eyes.

"Hi, I am, I am Alfred, I was sent by- by Miss Puff-Puffin to bring you t-to the, the loop!" He stuttered, but smiled none the less.

"Oh we're you now? How thoughtful of you! lets go then Alfred! " Miss Goose took the Childs outstretched hand, then took Miss Finch's in her other. it wasn't a long walk to the alley loop entrance, but the sun had already set and now a bright full moon had taken its place.

"finally" Alfred slid his glasses off to reveal solid purple eyes that had stars in them.Miss Finch and miss Goose both took notice Immediately, miss Goose becoming quite entranced with them.

"What is your peculiarity if you dont mind me asking?" Miss Goose asked the young child.

" I can control-control the stars." look!!!" He reached his tiny hands toward the sky, making a sky full of stars become much brighter and move a bit more quickly. Alfred jerked his hand left, crearing a swirling motion to which the stars followed the same motion.

"that's so Beautiful!!!" Miss Goose marveled at the stars. "Isnt it pretty May?" she waited for an answer, but miss Finch was still looking upwards, lost in the beauty.

Alfred grinned, blushing a little" Thank you ma'am" he tipped his hat to her which only caused Miss Goose to laugh at how positively adorable he was.

"Such the charmer!" she exclaimed.

Miss finch smiled a little, but shied away fron speaking in the conversation, instead focused on the loop entrance, a Little shack that was hidden behind two crooked trees.

"Alfred, stop that!!! the locals are still out and about for petes sakes they could have seen!" a familliar voice called, but was no where to be seen for a few brief moments.

"But Ma'am I'm in the loop! I didn't, didn't do anything outta the loop I-I swear!" Alfred turned and took two steps before stopping, placing his hands on his hips. miss Finch couldn't help but laugh a little,

"You better of been, we don't need anymore trouble from them dull minded locals." a short woman with shiny shoulder length black hair steped out while a much taller woman behind her stood covered in the shadows.

"Sophie!!" Edna Embraced Miss Puffin who hugged her tightly back. Alfred made an odd face, but snapped out of it when the woman in the shadows took his hand gently, but stayed uder the cover of darkness.

"How are you guys doing? I havent seen a blink of you in such a long time! England is so dreadfully far away! I was so excited when Esmerelda told me you were coming I simply could not stop talking about it!" Miss Puffin then moved onto hugging Maybelle, who stood akwardly, then quickly released herself from the hug as soon as she could.

"You never were a hugger, one day I swear ill change that just you wait little May!" Sophie commented, gently dabbing miss Finch's nose. "Beth, can you please help with their luggage?" Miss Puffin called into the forest. a girl in a floral pink dress. that complemented her dark walnut brown eyes and long braided red hair stepped out, then slowly rasied her hands. miss Finch felt her hands being raised as her suitcase was lifted into the air, much to her relief.

"Guest room, Miss Puffin?" the girl asked as the tall woman behind miss Puffin took a step back to be Next to Beth.

"Yes Beth. thank you dear." the young girl dissapeared alongside the woman as Miss Puffin led the 2 ymbrynes down the path to an elegant 3 floor mansion, and inside to her kitchen, both taking a seat.

"Ah I should introduce you to my new partner!!!" miss Puffin left the room in a hurry, then reapproached with a very tall woman who had dark, almost back eyes that seemed to starkly contrast her dark grey hair that flowed down her beautifully tanned skin. He eyes were aimmed downward, a rather aggitated look gracing the 30 year old woman's face.

"This is my new Partner, Florence Eagle."

Miss Puffin doted over the tall woman who looked more intrested in anything else than the two woman standing in front of her.

"She's shy." Miss Puffin whispered. As held Miss Eagle's hand gently. "Say hi Flora!" the tiny woman nudged her partner a little.

"Good evening." the woman mumbled quietly, adjusting her plain cream white dress over her figure.

"well, I suppose you two are probably very tired and would like to take to bed? Will you take them to the guest rooms Flora?" Miss Puffin asked. The woman gave an odd look then nodded with a sigh, waving them to her. They both followed miss Eagle up the 2 flights of stairs silently.

"In here." Miss Eagle gently swung the door open. both women entered into a large cream colored guest bedroom with 2 queen size beds that were tucked into a the corners of the room, a single nightstand nestled between them with an oil lamp and an alarm clock on it. 1 large window was placed on the wall between the beds above the nightstand with curtians that matched the simple light blue bedspreads on each bed to complete the look.

"Ahh, what a delightful room, Thank you!" Miss Goose went to thank her, but she had already dissapeared bsck the way she came, refusing to do anymore contact with them than she had to. Florence was certianly a shy woman which contrasted with her bird being an eagle, But she always preferred to fall into the background and fade rather than be front and center.

"She reminds me of you" Miss Goose smirked as they had both gotten settled in and she stood changing into her nightgown after closing the curtains.

"What?" Miss Finch glanced up, her eyes full of sleepiness as she sat down on the bed, abandoning her luggage till the morning.

"Miss Eagle, florence was her name? well, She reminds me of you silly."miss Goose crawled under the covers, waiting for Miss Finch impatiently.

"How so?" Finch rolled her eyes, fearing she already knew the answer.

"We both know you're definitely not one for talking" Miss goose held the covers open for Miss Finch to get in "Except to me, of course." she smirked. "you are very reserved, and prefer to stay away from crowds and new people, your adorable that way."

"Well... I dont have a rebutal unfortunately" Miss finch stiffled a yawn, sitting down. the goose got up and gently pulled miss Finch to the mattress, wrapping her arms around her.

"You sound tired. Get some rest." Miss Goose slid off her glasses, then blew out the candle. "Sleep well darling, we both know your gonna need it for tommrrow." Miss Goose glanced around as if she was looking for anyone watching, then placed a small kiss on Miss Finch's forehead.


"2:55. 5 minutes early." Miss Finch approached a huge mansion, the inside full of talking and laughter.

"Maybelle?!" A voice called from behind the woman. Miss Finch turned in search of the voice, but came face to face with a woman who towered over her., but had the same blonde hair just longer.

"suprised you arent dead."

"Nice to see you too Bertha."Miss Finch adressed her older sister with an eyeroll rolled as she stepped inside not bothering to wait for her.

miss Finch was expecting no one to notice her slip away to find her brother, but as soon as she entered, all eyes landed on her, the packed room falling to hushed whispers and side glances

"Why is the witch here?"

"I thought she died?"

"Mama said shes one with the devil."

To say she felt uncomfortable was an understantment. the Finch walked in rather slowly, standing silently in the corner, scanning the room for her older brother as most returned to thier conversations, but eyes were still latched onto her.

"Why Did you come? I thought we were very clear on dissowning you?" A woman with dark brown hair that matched her eyes Cornered the shaky woman.

"i was uh, i was was, uh..." Miss Finch stuttered, her mind drawing a blank on how to repsond to her own mother.

"I invited her" a man with blonde hair and dark green eyes smiled as he walked over to the two "I wanted the whole family here for The events of tonight." He gave a charming smile then wrapped his arms around the Finch, blocking thier mother out who simply huffed and walked awys to another conversation to rant.

"Come meet me after 10 minutes in the North hall." He whsipered into Miss Finches ear. She nodded subconsciously as he let her go, patted her cheek and was then off to entertain someone else,

those 10 minutes, Miss Finch was sure were the longest of her life. many of her family members made sure to poke odd questions at her, aiming to hurt rather than catch up.

"pardon me." She left as soon as ten

minutes were up, making her way to the hallway rather quickly. No one bother to blink an eye her way, Just how Maybelle liked it. she could slip away without being seen due to being such a quite demure woman. that was one of the few perks to being extremly shy miss Finch had found.

"Will...I missed you so much!!! She finally found the charming man waiting beside a huge picture window, one foot placed against the wall. as soon as William's eyes found hers, a smile dashed his cheeks and He embraced her tightly, lifting her off the ground as dark clouds started to roll in.

"I missed you too. So much has changed sense mom and dad threw ya out." He took her left hand and guided her down the hall, getting closer to her "But yet no one has detected my peculiarity yet." He pulled his hand up and let a small orange flame dance in his palm.

"Wish they didn't find out about mine, then maybe she wouldn't be such a bitch. dad wasn't to bad before he croaked, but thats in the past, and I simply must ask, What did you need me so direly for?" Miss Finch turned to look at him, as he stopped walking.

"Well...I might have uh..." he started to stutter the same way miss Finch did when she was cornered.

"Just say it Will, it cant be that bad. did they discover you ? if so, I can always take you back with me to england and you can start over!." she turned, placing her hands on her hips with a. true smile as a crack of Thunder boomed outside. A tiny wail echoed from a room not to far away.

Will rushed past his little sister, and down the darkening hall, makimg a turn into where miss Finch's old room was when she was a young girl. Miss Finch followed quickly, confused.,

"Da!!" the young girl stayed tightly latched around the man. she cuddled away her tears on his button up shirt.

"It's just Thunder dear. it can't hurt you." he patted her head. he then turned around to miss Finch.

"Oh Goodness, Will, you didn't have a hand in this did you?" Miss Finch tried to look sternly at her older brother, failing miserably. The young girl was simply divine, being a carbon copy of her father, except for her light baby blue eyes that followed every movement in the room.

"Yes, yes I did! I made this! Isn't she adorable!?" Will bounced a little as he held the girl out proudly for his sister to see.

"Yes she certainly is!" as The young girl reached out, trying to grab her fathers hair.

"You would always want to keep her safe as can be wouldn't ya Maybelle?" Will kept a smile glued to his lips as he started bounce her a little more.

"Well of course, shes just precious!" Maybelle fawned over her. "Oh my gosh im her Auntie! I have a niece and shes a little delight!" She

"Will you watch over her for me?"

" yeah, Why, ya need someone to watch her for the evening?" She asked, hopeful she would get out of having to be around her family. She despised them so, so much.

"Yes, but quite a bit longer than that" Will had to stop and take a breath, his eyes brimming with tears. "She is yours now May. please be good to er, I know ya will be the best mom to my little girl." Will tried to frantically shake the crying as his daughter started patting his cheeks and giggling excessively.

"EXCUSE ME?" Miss Finch was taken aback.

"She...She is a peculiar, like us I'm unsure of her peculiarity, but she enters loops with ease." Will smiled a little, but it faded out.

"Will you cant just give me your daughter thats ridiculous!" miss Finch slid her hands to her hips. "What about her mom-" she stopped as he put a finger up to her lips.

"She was hung in the town square a few months ago because of these monsters. and I plan on putting an end to the monsters tonight" he growled out, clenching his fists. William had that he had been holding his daughter who painfully cried out. The man suddenly removed his hands quickly, but there was still a small burn mark on the girls arm.

"I'm so sorry honey!!" He shoved the confused girl into his little sisters arms.

"Her name, its Evalynn, Eva for short. She is 1 year and 2 months old, and Her favorite food is Apple sauce, She loves cats, Soft things, doing others hair up." His hands started to shake slowly. "She. dosent speak that well but says little things. She can't walk yet, but she is very creative, and has a strange fascination with Clouds. she is also scared of loud noises and dogs. she likes, she likes to cuddle and she is perfect little Angel, just like her mother was!"

miss Finch felt her heart break as she could see her brother slowly deteriorating into a shaking mess as he blew into his hankerchief.

"Oh, and this is her favorite blanket and cuddle buddy!" He stumbled into the room and returned with a light violet grey and white blanket, "She loves it. It was knitted for her by her mother. Please dont ever throw it away, even if she outgrows it." He wrapped it around the girl who started to grip her aunt's hair, excited with how long it was.

"Well" Will kissed his daughter's forehead who simply tilted her head, then blew a kiss back. "I-I love you, my little butterfly." je then glanced up at Miss Finch who stood trembling slightly, replaying his words with a horrifed look on her face. "Take good care of 'er sis. I know with you, she will be safe and grow to be a wonderful young lady under your care." He smiled, then strode down the Hall, his mind made up. "I would get to running, if you dont want to caught in the flames." He glanced back, a small grin on his face.

"William lets talk this out-" Miss Finch tried to approach him again, placing a hand on his shoulder gently, hoping he would come to his senses bwfore he did something he would regret.

"Stay back." He warned as he swiped her hand off as he finally made it to the end of the long Hall.

"What are you even planning on doing? William answer me!" Miss Finch yelped slightly, something she would have never stooped to do in any other situation. her legs trembled as Evalynn seemed oblivious to the sitatuion at hand.

"Get going now Maybelle." Will growled.

"William I demand an answer- William, Ah!" the Finch froze when her brother grabbed her forcefully by the arm, covering her mouth with his hand that reeked of Gasoline terribly. He yanked her down the hallway, finding a random side door that the family rarely if ever used.

"Take good care sister." William smiled innocently as he shoved her out the door into the Snow pile. "I love you." Will waved, then let his hand slide onto the door frame, a fire igniting rather quickly. He walked away from the door without a second thought, taking a seat in his favorite chair as he lit up a pipe, watching the flames engulf the parlor which would soon reach the locked up Family room.


Miss Finch wasted no time running away, the flames spread into the surrounding wheat fields much quicker than she expected. The tiny girl in her arms wriggled around, coughing every once in a while from the smoke that turned the sky into a dark morbid grey, a dark orange hue overshadowing it.

"What...what the f*ck just happened?!" The woman cussed as she pushed her legs to take her farther. he eyes and lungs burned like lthe fire that was quickly catching up to her, the smoke that billowed out of the burning inferno didn't improve her condition much either.

"you never heard that!" She coughed out to Eva who had finally stopped struggling and had nestled herself into Miss Finches heavy coat, not sensing the intense danger around her.

"Finally!!!" The Finch all but collapsed against a tree that laid on the outskirts of the field. She didn't have much time to rest, but it was certainly better than nothing.

"A-are you okay Eva?" She unwrapped the blanket from the girls head, who didnt say a word as she reached up and started to tug at Miss Finches hair, a small grin apperaring on Eva's face.

" Oh good your fine." The woman felt a sudden slight pull on her now rather messy hair. "Oww okay honey please AH- stop!" Eva blinked a few times then tugged her hair again even harder, laughing as she did so.

"Okay no more hair for you." She sighed as she pulled her hair up into a messy bun, not having the will to make it neat. Evalynn gave a look of pure disgust at her actions, but didnt seem to shead a single tear as she just started to reach for the earrings miss Finch had in instead.

"Your going to be a change from the typical teenagers I take in...how am I gonna do this? Your so itty bitty!." She asked herself, thinking deeply on how she was supposed to take care of her. A tiny child surrounded by teens and adults? What if the council refused to even let her have her?

"We would get attached...and then you would be taken away..." she whsipered softly. Eva glanced up. but giggled at her nonetheless as she babled tiny fragments of words to herself.

"I guess I can't get attached to you...the council will want you to be placed with someone else or a younger age group..." Miss Finch sighed. she couldn't lie, she felt quite sad at the thought. even in the hour or 2 of knowing her, the girl had already left a imprint on her heart, and she was her own family, and she shared the same traits as her brother.

"lets get a move on." she lifted the tiny girl up and set off to Miss Puffins, determined to make it by nightfall.


"Ring around the rosie, Pockets full of Posies, ashes, ashes we all fall down!" Miss Goose sang out as the children all fell to the ground laughing.

"Ya know that song is about the black death right?" Miss Puffin stared out the window, a bored look gracing her features. Flora had left to go out and hunt, leaving Sophie to entertain herself for the last remaining hours of daylight.

"Yeah."

"About half of Europe dying, and you are singing in its praises." She flopped backwards to face Miss Goose.

"Yep." she smiled at Puffin "reminds the kids death is allways lurking."

"You should never be allowed around children." Miss Puffin took a seat next to her as the front door opened, coughing was the only Acknowledgement that someone had entered though.

"Home already?" Miss Goose called galncing at the clock, but frowned as she heard footsteps running up the stairs.

"Oh dear." She stood up."Must have not had much fun with her family."

"Good luck ." Miss Puffin called as she swung Alis into her arms, ready to get them all freshened up for bedtime.

"Shes not too upset, just overwhelmed." Alis called after Miss Goose, smiling as he laid his head on mis puffins shoulder.

"What?" Miss Goose glanced over quite confused at the childs statement.

"Alis" Miss Puffin chastised "What did we learn?"

"Others do not like having their emotions read without consent" He said softly, burying his head into her shoulder to hide his blushed face of embrassment.

"I am going to get the children situated in bed. Go make sure Maybelles doing okay. if you guys need anything, please please feel free to ask!" Miss Puffin bent down and swept Alfred into her arms as miss goose took off towards the upstairs.


"Maybelle? Maybelle are you alright in there?" Miss Goose knocked on the bedroom door, concerned as she heard quite a bit of hacking snd coughing.

"Yeah give me like 2 minutes!!! miss Finch cleared her throat, then tried to quickly put Eva down, frantically searching and finally finding a somewhat adquate place.

"Good evening my dear." Miss Finch opened the door a smidge, resting her body on it.

"May I come in?" Miss Goose asked, concerned about her Wife. Maybelle Finch was acting odd, typically when she got like this is it was due to a high fever or her trying to hide an injury.

"Umm, now is unfortunately, not the best time." Miss Finch smiled gently, trying to shut the door, tryng to refrain from coughing.

"Well" the Goose returned the smile "Its my room also so im coming in, like it or not." She pushed the door open, sweeping Miss Finch off her feet.

"Edna what are you doing?!" miss Finch yelped which hurt her throat as she was set on the freshly made bed. She didnt get much of a response as the back of Miss Goose's cold arm was pushed tightly to her forehead,

"Edna, stop!" Miss Finch cried out quietly. Miss Goose froze, but then cupped Maybelles cheek.

"So, where did you hurt yourself? did they hurt you? If they put their hands on you I swear-" She asked curtly.

"N-no. Why would you think that?" Miss Finch took a deep breath in, her eyes darting over to Eva for a split second who laid still as a lifeless baby doll.

"You only act like this when you hurt or have a horridly high fever Maybelle. Plus, you look like you just got back from a track marathon! your filthy, and you seem to be hacking and wheezing like you tried smoking for the first time!"

"Darling, please don't worry I'm fine. Just a little flustered alright?" miss Finch covered her eyes, her headache strengthening into a migrane.

"About?"

"Umm..." Miss Finch let her words die on her tounge as Eva let out an ear piercing cry. a single fly had landed on her nose, which terrified the young baby.

"what is that Maybelle?" Miss Goose spun around. and peered into the laundry basket, look of suprise gracing her features.

Miss Finch sat up, her hand going to her throat painfully. The Finch was quite afraid of how she would react. They only ever took in children above 13 years old. In all her years of knowing Edna had never even seen her hold a baby, nor be in the presence of one. Miss Goose walked over, staring down a the child for a brief moment. Miss Finch watching with a tense mind as if the room was suffocating her thoughts.

"Hello beautiful!" Miss Goose's eyes went wide as she picked Eva up, cradling her gently. Eva quickly became quiet, a small grin appearing on her face as she reached up to Miss Gooses long hair. "Where by chance did you find this cutie?" She asked, glancing back up to the Finch.

"Shes...my niece. Her name is Evalynn, she is one year old. and she is a peculiar." She had to stop to catch Her breath. "Her father, my brother, he um...kinda lit my whole family on fire after he sent me on my way with her in an act of revenge." miss finch stammered out.

"Do we get to keep her?!" Miss Goose seemed overjoyed at the thought of having a baby. Housing mostly teenagers might seem like a blessing, not having to deal with the crying and fits, but babies are too cute. Everyone except Maybelle thought of Edna to be too rough and not a good fit for young children, but that certainly was not the case

"I-I don't know. I'm afraid if the council finds out they will take her from me, fearing I'll give special treatment, and the fact that we house mostly teenagers. We also have many children already!"miss Finch took a few shallow breaths, her lungs burning. "What if they take her? shes all I have left of William..." she felt tears welling in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, calm down May." She sat next to her. "Don't worry. I'll take care of the Council. Do you think we can take on one more?" She asked. "I won't be offended if you say no. I completely understand. its up to you-"

"I want to keep her, no matter what! I promised Will I would!" The Finch shouted, slamming her hands against the bed with a look of determination glittering in her tearful green eyes.

"Then we will be keeping her. I will inform the Council upon our arrival back to England." Miss Goose took Miss Finch's hand, rubbing her thumb across her ring.

"But I think you should rest, and take it easy. You look quite ill from the smoke Maybelle." miss Goose felt the Finch shift to lay her head on her shoudler. "She truly is the cutest baby I have seen in a while- OW!" The Goose yanked her grey hair back from Eva's grip, who started to giggle in return.

"Ah, she laughs at others pain, she will fit right in with me!" Miss Goose lifted Eva up and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"That's not a good thing" Miss Finch rolled her eyes, as she booped Evalynns little nose. the girl excitedly giggled, then caught sight of Miss Finch's wedding ring, trying desperately to grab the shiny new item.

"do you wanna see it Eva?" miss Finch held her finger up for Eva to take. The little girl admired it for about two seconds, then chomped down on the aunts finger where the ring was.

"Ow! no! No biting!" Miss Finch pulled back her slightly swollen finger. "I hope one day, we can tell everyone we are married so I can put this on the right finger and hand." Miss Finch lifted her right hand, the small ring placed on her pointer finger now slightly tipped to the side from Eva.

it was a simple ring a silver band a tiny gemstone in the center, gleaming in the candle light.

"Well, I personally dont think thats the best idea for right now." Miss Goose leaned back on the bed, the other woman following suit. "I don't want the council to separate us, especially after we just got this cutie." She smiled at the shorter woman who placed the ring back in its little box so no one ever would know.

"Well, I guess you didn't drink, so you can still go to your doctors appointment and have that test done, and maybe get your lungs looked at if you continue this hacking!" miss Goose rubbed miss Finch's back.

"Oh." Miss Finch shrugged. "I totally forgot its my year to be allowed to drink this Thanksgiving. oh well I guess."

"Dont worry, I'll do the generous thing and let you drink wine next holiday!." Miss Goose teased.

"Oh, thank you my darling, so kind." miss Finch kissed her cheek. it truly was a kind gesture, as that was the very few nights they we're allowed to drink. Even if they only had teenagers (Well, not anymore) the council only allowed it to be consumed on special holidays, and only one could consume it if it was a two Ymbryne loop. if it was only a one Ymbryne loop, they could only drink wine, and only a single glass.

"Okay well lets get you ready for bed." Miss Goose picked Eva up and setting her onto the unused second bed, putting all the pillows she could find around the child to keep her from rolling off, which included the ones they were using. after fusing over her to make sure she was secure, then finally crawled into bed next to miss Finch who was resting on her back using the blanket to prop her head up so she could breathe without coughing.

"Oh wait!" Miss finch felt the baby blanket rub against her ankle. She must have forgot to give it to Edna to cover Eva up with.

"Here Eva." She wrapped it around the little girl who cuddled into it then started chewing on the corner of it with a smile.

"I love you" miss Finch kissed Eva's forhead then turned back to get back in bed.

"I wa u!" She babbled back out to the woman

"Did she just-" Miss Goose sat up, looking over as Miss finch smiled widely but shushed Edna as Eva was starting to drift off.

"Oh dear How could I be so blessed to have two of the cutest women on earth in my presence?" Miss Goose whispered to Mss Finch who smiled back.

"Thank you silly." miss Finch started. "If we have a new child, We must to go to the council and file her Immediately so we can bring her home to our loop instead of the holding loop for children in wait. We both know I'm gonna have to be in person to explain this rather odd situation. I guess I won't be making that appointment for my migranes after all."She shut her eyes, cuddling into Edna's warm arms.

"ill talk to Dr. Albert. He might help you out after hours if I pay him a little more." miss Goose ran her hands up and down Miss Finch's back. "You need to get that cough looked at. Smoke inhalation is no joke."

"Shush, I'll be fine." miss Finch sneezed, but started to drift into a deep well deserved sleep.

"Never." Miss goose blew out the candle with a smile.


I really did not intend for this chapter to be this long, but here we are. I hope you all enjoyed! I am planning on writing a follow up which actually explains what Happened to Miss Goose and why she isn't around now, and this ties into why the elder Miss Finch stays as a bird most of the time.

please tell me what you thought about it and if you have any suggestions for future chapters:)
