A/N: Happy October everybody! Whoa it's been a while since I last posted something for this story but hopefully this update will make up for my long absence.

Now, It has come to my attention that while Jade and Tori have "canon friends" I haven't exactly done that with their kids, that being said, starting with this chapter I'll be creating some friends for Danielle, Tawny and Tony.

However, suggestions are still welcome; in the meantime, enjoy the latest part of the saga… Which brings back some long forgotten characters and not just from Victorious.


Tori entered the living room ready to collapse on the couch and she would have done just that had her wife not beaten her to it.

"Hey Vega." Jade greeted with a tired smile. "Long day?"

"You don't know the half of it." Tori said wryly. "You look like you seen better days yourself."

"These past few weeks have been hell at the studio."

"How come?"

"You want the whole story?" Jade asked "Or the short version?"

"How about you summarize it in one word?" Tori suggested. "I'm just about ready to drop dead from exhaustion... Speaking of which, can you move? I had dibs on the couch."

"Like hell you did!" The thespian hissed. "I was here first and I'm not moving! Not that I have the energy to do that anyway, I been up since six in the morning, taking the girls to school and if you think that taking a toddler to kinder is hard, try waking up two teenagers who don't know the meaning of the words get up or you'll be late for school!"

"No teenager cares about being late for that." Tori groaned. "It's like we're getting hit with some karmatic form of justice since we pulled the same thing when we were their age."

"Teenagers suck." Jade snapped. "We weren't that bad when we were the twins' age… Were we?"

"I know I wasn't."

"I stand corrected." The Thespian muttered. "My wife sucks too."

"I heard that."

"Good, you were supposed to."

"I'm too tired to start an argument baby." Tori said. "So I rather just collapse on the couch."

"Too bad, you're not going to do that." Jade replied. "Instead you're going to hear about the rest of my day."

"And I would do that rather than take a nap because?"

"Because you love me." Her spouse replied coyly. "And you wouldn't want me to unleash my wrath of some poor idiots that may come knocking on our door if I don't let out all my frustration."

"Damn… You got me there."

"So as I was saying… I also had to take Foxy to the vet because someone gave him something to eat that caused him severe flatulence! I'm going to need an entire cleaning squad to get that smell out of my car!"

"I'm not getting near the garage then."

"Smart move." Jade agreed. "We also gotta make sure that he doesn't eat cheese again."

"And to tell the kids not to give him any."

"Yeah… So after that, I had a shitty day at the studio." The Thespian grunted. "How shitty you ask? I had the urge to kill something because the executives decided it was a good idea for me to go to an interview to make me seem less scary and more humanly friendly as possible."

"And how did that go?"

"I felt like puking blood."

"Oh, come on!" Tori said "It couldn't have been that bad."

"Oh no?" Jade challenged "It was an agonizing time trying to answer questions nicely or else I'll get the budget for my movie cut in half… This is why I fucking hate people and if that wasn't annoying enough, once I returned to the studio, I expected to get back to work from where we last left!"

"I take it that wasn't the case?"

"You are so perceptive." Her spouse replied sardonically "As it turns out some idiot taped over a few scenes that were difficult to shoot in the first place! So, we had to re-shoot them again which was a waste of time and money!""

"That must have been frustrating."

"YOU THINK?!"

"Who deleted the scenes?"

"Who else but Cat!" Jade snapped angrily "She taped over several death scenes because they were too scary!"

"You didn't kill her…" Tori asked worriedly, "Did you?"

"I wanted to… You had no idea how much I wanted to but the only reason why I didn't is because our daughter is dating her son! So, I after telling her to stick to costume design I simply gave her some crayons so she could draw some unicorns."

"I'm surprised the studio didn't fire her."

"Cat may be too much sometimes Vega." Jade said evenly "But she's still our friend and no one gets to fire her if I have anything to say about it! I simply convinced those jerks in suits to give her another chance in exchange giving them more creative control over my project, so Cat owes me BIG TIME!"

"I'm sure Cat will appreciate it."

"She already is going to pay me back." Jade said evilly, "I made Cat promise me that she's going to be acting in five future films of mine… Scary projects."

"You're going to end up traumatizing her!"

"So what? She owes me!" Jade shrugged "Now… if you don't mind, I'm exhausted and there's no way moving from this spot unless my life depended on it."

"I have you beat." Tori retorted. "For starters, I had to take Tony to kindergarten, he didn't want to go and I had to convince him that he would be ok and make a lot of friends and have fun."

"Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?" Jade teased. "If I remember correctly, it was you who didn't want Tony to go to kindergarten."

Tori blushed furiously, having been caught in her little white lie.

"Shut it!" She snapped "It's not important who wanted or didn't want to go to school! What is important is that when I had to pick him up, he didn't want to leave!"

"Sounds like he had a lot of fun." Jade said coyly. "You did tell him he was going back to school on Monday, right?"

"Unfortunately."

"What was that?"

"Never mind! Tori scowled "I wish that was the worst part of the day being apart from our baby boy but believe you me, it gets worse! Rehearsal today was terrible since no one seemed to want to cooperate with me! It was my first time directing a music video and I swear I could feel my blood pressure going high."

"Welcome to my world Vega." Jade teased. "Was that all?"

"Far from it!" The Latina scowled "I got a call from Trina earlier in the day asking me to pick her up from work because her car ran out of gas!"

"How the hell did that happen?"

"She forgot to put some in last night."

"Only your sister." Jade grumbled. "It's a miracle she hasn't lost her license."

"Yeah… sure… She still has it."

Before Jade could question Tori's less than convincing tone, she continued with her story.

"Anyway, after that massive headache I had to get dinner for all of us and I picked a fight with the restaurant cashier because he tried to make a quick buck out of me by lying on the prices, then of course I had to run from the paparazzi because they are vultures who feed off of anything and let me tell you Jade! Running in heels? Not easy!"

"I love doing that." Jade said contently. "It makes my feet hurt."

"Well I didn't love it! Tori snapped. "I think there's some of my blood in my shoes now!"

"Oh this I gotta see."

"No!" She snapped "You can't see my bloody shoes you gank!"

"I'll let that name calling slide, this time." Jade growled. "But only because I'm too damn tired."

"And you think I'm not?!" Tori retorted. "I didn't even get our food! I had to go to a different drive-thru which was like an hour away so no one would follow me! Oh, and last but not least, I finally managed to put Tony down for a nap after an hour of chasing him after he somehow got his little hands on some ice cream!"

"Be that as it may, I'm still not moving."

"Oh yeah?"

"YES!" Jade sneered "And there's nothing you can do that… Uff!"

Tori collapsed on top of her wife.

"Vega! Get off me!"

"Why don't you make me?" She mocked "Oh wait… You can't! Since you don't have the energy to do anything but to get on my nerves."

"Oh, that's going to cost you." Jade said ominously, narrowing her eyes evilly. "Big time."

"You're bark and no bite."

"Is that so?"

"Yup." Tori said coyly. "So better get comfortable because… YOWWWW!"

The Latina dropped unceremoniously onto the floor, massaging her neck.

"JADE!"

"What?"

"YOU BIT ME!"

"Next time don't assume I'm not gonna bite you Vega." She snickered, getting comfortable on the couch. "I'm unpredictable remember?"

"Well, guess what?" Tori asked "So am I!"

"Yeah, right!"

As if to prove her wrong, once more Tori dropped on top of Jade; as a result, the two women started fighting for dominance of the couch, eventually their struggle turned into a make out session and finally into a cuddle session.

"You know something Vega?" Jade smirked. "I think it's been the first time in forever since we had some alone time."

"Did you just quote Frozen?"

"I blame Cat for that one… So… Damn you Shapiro!"

"You're right though." Tori chuckled. "I mean with all the pent-up sexual energy we have, the two of us could use a night to ourselves."

"Easier said than done with three kids." Jade shot back. "I mean sure… The girls will understand the concept of alone time and may let us have that for just one night but Tony sure won't."

"Didn't I tell you?" The Latina asked. "Andre's doing us a favor; he and Carly are going to watch Tony for the night, he and Amy are going to have a sleepover while we have ours."

"You probably did tell me, but we're lucky to remember our own names at the end of the day." Jade said grumpily, "At what time are you taking him?"

"Right after his nap." Tori answered "You should have seen Amy, she was so excited to spend the night with Tony, and it was so cute."

"Those two are very close."

"Well, they known each other since before they could talk." She pointed out. "Who knows, maybe they'll be more than best friends one day."

"Now you're getting ahead of yourself Vega." Jade said annoyed. "They're only three years old, so don't start planning out something that still hasn't happen yet."

"You're right." Tori agreed. "Right now, I should be enjoying the present with my lovely wife."

"Yes you should!" Jade growled. "Now stop wasting precious kissing time and get over here."

Tori was all too happy to comply as she locked lips with her spouse, going slow at first but gaining momentum the more they made out

"MAMA!" The toddler yells out. "I'm up! I'm up! I wanna play!"

Both women sighed as they reluctantly pull away from each other.

"And that's why we don't do this more often," The Thespian groaned. "Parenthood is a 24/7 job."

"Don't you worry, baby." Tori grinned coyly. "Tonight, I will rock your world."

"Oh, will you now?" Jade smirked, giving her wife one last quick kiss. "Tell you what, while you drop off Tony to his sleepover, I'll see if I can get us a reservation at The Spa so we can have some relaxation before I rock your world."

"Or we can just get under the covers of our comfy, comfy bed and take a long nap of our own." Tori suggested. "And after we're fully charged we'll have our fun."

"We get to sleep?" Jade asked. "That right there Vega, is why I love you, you always gimme what I need the most."

"What we need the most." Tori corrected with a knowing grinned "But wait, what do we do about Tawny and Danielle?"

"I think Tawny's with some friends at the mall and with no boys I might add, while Danielle is with Rachel or so she says, they're going to have dinner and maybe watch a movie afterwards, I did give them a curfew though, so they better be back by eleven unless they wants to be grounded for the rest of the weekend."

"Well, this worked nicely for us."

"You bet it did; now you better get going!" Jade ordered, "The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll come back so we can have our nap and our sexy fun time!"

"Can't wait."

"You're getting comfortable driving again?"

"It took a while to get back on the horse." Tori replied, knowing full well what her spouse was implying. "But yeah… I'm managing."

"You're still taking a copy of the car keys aren't you?"

"Better safe than sorry."

"Vega." Jade said seriously. "It was an honest mistake, we both know this so don't let one error dictate your life."

"You don't know how scared I was that day, Jade." Tori said uneasily. "How helpless I felt."

"You're right." The Thespian agreed. "I don't, but you're a smart woman and I do know you would've done anything for our son, so conquering your fear is helping not only you but Tony as well."

Jade puts her hands over Tori's trembling ones.

"Just remember…" She said soothingly. "No matter what, you're always going to be a good mom."

"Thank you, baby." The Latina smiled. "You always know what to say to make me feel better."

"That would be the truth Vega." Jade replied. "Remember, I'm blunt all the time."

"I know." Tori chuckled. "One of the many reasons why I love you."

The two women were about to share another kiss, only to get an unexpected surprised in the form of a toddler, their son appeared out of nowhere and sat between his parents to avoid seeing what he considered a "yucky" thing.

"NU- UH!" Tony cried out. "No kisses!"

"Mijo!" Tori said surprised. "Where did you come from?"

"I got out of bed!" He cheered. "Sleeping is boring! I wanna play! I wanna play!"

His parents resisted the urge to groan, they were dead tired and needed a break, fortunately Jade came up with a solution that would appease not only their son but also cut them some slack.

"We could play a game." Jade said sneakily "Or we can watch Ratatouille."

"Ratatouille! Ratatouille! Ratatouille!"

Tori let out a sign of relief, giving her wife a silent "thank you", they both knew Tony's favorite movie would give them some quiet time, there was something about the premise of the film that their son just loved, they weren't about to question it as long as it made him happy.

However, the moment the toddler turned on the TV, Jade wanted to throw a brick at it.

"And now the song that has made millions of kids happy worldwide!" An announcer said. "Peace is Nice!"

"Oh no!" The Thespian cursed. "I HATE that song!"

A little green dog appeared on the screen.

"Peace is Nice!" GIR began to sing "Peace is nice! Peace is better than CHICKEN AND RICE! Peace, Peace, Peace, Nice, Nice, Nice, Peace, Peace, Chicken, Chicken, Rice, Rice, Rice!

Jade noticed that her son singing along.

"Can you believe this Vega?" She questioned, annoyed. "Vega?"

To her immense frustration, Jade saw her wife also joined in the singing.

"VEGA!" Jade shouted "YOU TRAITOR!"

"Traitor? Why?" Tori asked, getting caught off guard. "I'm just joining in the fun."

"FUN?!" Jade snapped "That's stupid song has been nothing but a pain in my ass!"

"Language!" Tori hissed. "Our son is in the room! And you wouldn't be jealous would you?"

"Why would I be jealous of a poorly thought out song?"

"Maybe because it's so popular?" Tori retorted cheekily. "I mean, it even won several awards including the Membrane Peace Prize, plus you can't deny that peace is better than chicken and nice."

"Be that as it may be, I still hate it!" Jade said stubbornly as she crossed her arms. "I've written better things than that damn dog ever could!"

"No argument there." Tori said. "But come on, it's a cute song, just enjoy it with us."

Before Jade could give some kind of snarky reply, Tony stood in front of his parents and innocently asked them if they could sing along, Tori tried hard not to laugh at the face her wife was making, especially since Jade was giving her a deadly glare.

"If I hear even one little a noise out of you." She whispered ominously. "I swear that I'm going to file for divorce."

Tori didn't say a word; however Jade never said anything against smiling.

The trio eventually started singing.

"I hate that green dog."


An hour or so later, Tori was driving towards the Harris household, she was humming a little tune, it was a defense mechanism she developed every time she was behind the wheel of her car, it also helped that her could hear her son's carefree clapping in the backseat watching some cartoons, Foxy the ever-faithful companion was next to the toddler.

"You ready for your first sleepover Mijo?"

"I'm gonna have fun!" Tony clapped happily. "Foxy too!"

"You really want him to go with you, huh?" Tori asked. "How come?"

"I want Amy to meet Foxy!" He replied enthusiastically. "The more there is of us the more fun we will have!"

"Can't argue with that logic." She chuckled. "Don't forget to be a good boy for Uncle Andre and aunt Carly."

"I good boy!"

"Yes, you are." Tori said affectionately. "You're Mama's little good boy."

"YAY!"


Once they made it to the Harris household, Tori opened the door so she could get her son out of his car seat, meanwhile Foxy yawned and stretched before running out of the car but not going far, he sat down, waiting for his owners.

Tori held her son in her arms, gently setting him down and giving him a backpack with a change of clothes and pajamas.

"Now remember Mijo." She said affectionately. "I'm going to come and pick you up tomorrow night, so listen to Andre and Carly while you're here since you're a guest in their house."

"Ok Mama!"

"That means you have to go to sleep when they tell you and you can't eat any sweets unless they allow it."

"Aww."

"Don't pout." She teased. "You already had ice cream and that's enough for the day."

Tori held her son's hand, going towards her best friend's front door, instead of knocking or ringing the bell she sent him a text.

T- Guess who?

A- Madonna?"

T- Funny but no, we're here, care to let us in?

Andre opened the front door, giving Tori a smile and a hug.

"Hey chica! Long time no see!"

"I saw you this morning when we were working on my music video." Tori chuckled. "Thanks a bunch for babysitting Tony, Jade and I really needed some alone time."

"No problem Tori." He said before looking at his daughter's best friend. "Hey Tony, are you ready for the sleepover?"

"Yeah!" He nodded enthusiastically. "Where's Amy?"

"TONY!" A three year old girl squealed happily.

"AMY!"

Both kids ran towards each other, hugging happily.

"Aww, isn't that cute?" Tori cooed. "We may be seeing the beginning of something beautiful."

Having caught onto what the Latina was implying, Andre shook his head "No way Tori! Amy isn't dating anyone until after she graduates from college!"

"Still the overprotective father I see."

"Seeing as I have four daughters; how could I not?"

"Four?" Tori questioned. "Does that mean what I think it means."

Andre got an envelope out of a drawer.

"Care to stay for a few minutes Chica?"

"Like I'm going to miss this!"


They didn't have to wait long since ten minutes later Carly entered the house with two little girls, a ten year old and an eight year old.

"Hey Andre."

"Hi Dad!"

"Hi daddy!"

"Hey Carls." He greeted, giving his wife a kiss before giving his daughters individual hugs. "Hi Charlotte, hi Jenny."

"Hey Tori."

"Hi Carly."

"Hi mommy!"

Carly smiled at the sight of her youngest daughter who was happily waving, trying to catch her attention.

"Hi baby." She greeted. "You and Tony ready for the best sleepover of your lives?"

"YEAH!" Both toddlers shouted excitedly, something that made all adults chuckle.

Foxy entered the house and made his way towards Tony, the toddler patted his pet gently on the head.

"Is that a fox?!" Carly asked surprised. "Why is there a fox in my house?!"

"This Foxy, aunt Carly." Tony said innocently. "He's my best friend!"

"Hey!" Any yelled jealously. "I thought I was your best friend!"

"You are!" He replied with a smile. "But Foxy is my best animal friend! I brought him so we can all play together! Say hi Foxy!"

The silver Fox walked towards Amy, smelling her hand, before giving her a lick on her cheek, something the little girl giggled at. "Aww, he's cute!"

"I knew you had a pet." Carly whispered to her friend. "You never said it was a wild animal."

"That's because he's not a wild animal." Tori whispered back. "He imprinted on Jade when he opened his eyes for the first time and he's been a part of the family ever since, he's a shy little thing, don't worry about it, Foxy is more like a dog than anything else, trust me."

To make her point, Carly saw her youngest daughter throwing a ball across the room and Foxy went after it.

"Just to put my mind at ease." Carly said nervously. "He had all his shots… Right?"

"Yeah… But a word of advice?" Tori said. "Please don't feed him any cheese."


Meanwhile in the front door of the Harris Household two teenagers were about to open the door, that is until one of them decided to walk away.

"Hey Rachel!" Danielle shouted. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I don't know." She admitted shakily. "Your house? The mall? The moon? Anywhere that isn't here?"

"Um, why?"

"I thought I was ready." Rachel said anxiously. "I thought that I could tell them but I… I… I can't Dani… I can't."

"Why not?" Danielle asked. "You have no reason to be scared of your parents."

"I'm not scared of them Dani!"

"Then what is it?"

"I'm scared of what will happen after they know."

"What do you mean?" Danielle asked confused. "Are you afraid things will be different?"

"I dunno… Kinda?" Rachel replied, "I always knew I would have to tell them... I just never thought of what the outcome will be till now."

"That they'll be loving and supportive parents?"

"You don't know that!"

"You're right… I don't." Danielle agreed. "But I'm sure that they will be so I still fail to see a problem."

"The problem here is that I'm terrified of not having a dad anymore!" Rachel shouted "You… You know that Andre isn't really my dad… I just call him that because I wish he was! I mean he has been nothing but the best dad to me even when I'm not his biological daughter! Which is more than I can say for the jerk that cheated on my mom and ran off with some floozy! ... I'm just scared that the moment I come out, he won't love me anymore… I'm just scared of losing him."

"Shh, Shh, Shh," Danielle cooed soothing as she held her girlfriend in her arms "It's ok baby, That bastard's gone! He was an idiot for leaving you behind! For not seeing the awesome person you turn out to be!"

"You're just saying that."

"No, I'm not!" Danielle replied back. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me and you have no reason to be afraid of losing your dad! He's still going to love you no matter what!"

"But…"

"Rach… Baby… You have nothing to worry about." Her girlfriend said soothingly. "I mean come on! Your dad has been my Mama's best friend for years! If he was some homophobic idiot, he would've ended their friendship a long time ago, and we both know he's not that and if he's been supportive of my parents then he no doubt will be supportive of you! His daughter!"

"You really think so?"

"I know so Rach."

Both teens shared a kiss afterwards.

"How did I get so lucky to have you for a girlfriend?"

"I think I'm the lucky one." Danielle shot back. "Damn… I never expected to be the mushy one in this relationship."

"Yeah…" Rachel agreed with a chuckle. "I thought that would be me."

"So… Are you ready to go in?" Danielle asked, giving her hand a soft squeeze. "And just so you know… Whatever happens, I'll be by your side."

"Thank you." Rachel said lovingly before taking a deep breath, giving her girlfriend a final look for reassurance, something Dani returned by giving her a mouthed "I love you."

With that, Rachel finally opened the door. "Mom! Dad! Hi!"

Andre smiled at the sight of his eldest daughter; Tori tried to play it cool at what going to happen soon enough but failed horribly as she couldn't help but let out a squeal of glee.

Carly had to give her a subtle elbow hit to the stomach to let Tori know she needs to be quiet; otherwise the surprise would be ruined.

"You ok Mama?" Danielle asked with a raised eyebrow. "You're acting weird and in our family that's saying something."

"I'm ok Mija." Tori said with a wide smile. "I'm just very happy to be here."

"Uh- Huh." Danielle replied suspiciously. "Anyway um I'm glad you're all here, Rachel and I have something to tell you."

"That's kind of a coincidence." Andre said, looking at his adoptive daughter. "I have something to tell you."

"Yo- You do?" Rachel asked nervously. "What… What is it dad?"

"Dad…" He thought happily. "No matter how many times I hear that, it never gets old…Time to make it official though." He walked towards the teenager, giving her a gentle squeeze on her shoulder and a smile only a loving father would give. "Rachel I been watching you grow up since you were eight, and after I married your mother, I been raising you as my own, there are so many things I taught you, so many things we been through together as a family."

Rachel was looking questioningly at the man who has been raising her, wondering where he was going with this.

"Even after Carly and I had more kids, I still saw you as my little girl even though I'm not your biological father… But that doesn't change the fact that no matter what you'll always going to be as much my child as your sister and so… I have something to show you."

He got an envelope from his back, giving it to Rachel, she grabbed it, her hands shaking with anticipation, she looked at Andre who gave her an encouraging smile, telling her to open it.

Rachel did so and after she saw what was inside, her jaw dropped.

"Well… What is it?" Danielle asked her girlfriend curiously. "Is it anything good?"

"I just got adopted."

"Huh?"

Rachel gave Danielle the paper showing that now legally she was the adopted daughter of Andre Harris.

Danielle just knew her girlfriend was screaming with joy on the inside.

"This means you're my dad now?" Rachel asked hopefully. "For real?"

"I always have been your father sweetheart." Andre replied. "This just makes it official."

Without another word, the teenager hugged the man who has been raising her, no, she was hugging her dad, Rachel was crying tears of joys, something Carly was doing as well, joining in the hug with her husband and her eldest daughter

Tori was happily watching in the tender moment her best friend was having with his family until she felt a little tug on her leg, she looked down at her son who stared back with childlike wonder.

"Mama?" He asked. "Why are Uncle Andre and Aunt Carly crying?"

"Because Rachel is their daughter." Tori said, lowering down to his level. "And they're happy about that."

"But she's always been that." Tony said innocently. "Right?"

"You're right Mijo." Tori agreed. "Just like you will always be my son."

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you when you're older." She said giving her son a hug. "Just remember I love you Mijo."

Danielle for her part was looking at her girlfriend, overjoyed that she now has what she always wanted, she decided that telling both their families that they were dating could wait, right now Rachel deserved this time with her parents.

"Um… Mom… Dad…" Rachel said nervously. "I'm can't even begin to describe how happy I am right now, trust me… The thing is… I have some news of my own."

"Oh?" Carly asked. "Good news I hope."

"I have been dating for the past couple of months." Rachel said quickly before she could back down. "And I didn't know how to tell you because I didn't know how you would take it but Dani and I are together and I love her and don't want to hide this from you anymore!"

Suddenly everything went quiet… Too quiet for the teenagers liking, Danielle grabbed Rachel's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze to let her know that whatever happens, they were in it together.

"I KNEW IT!" Unsurprisingly it was Tori who broke the silence, clapping enthusiastically at the news. "Aww, my little girl has her first girlfriend!"

"MAMA!" Danielle shouted in embarrassment, her red blushing red. "Do you really gotta do that?"

"Mom… Dad?" Rachel asked nervously. "You're awfully quiet… Do you have anything to say?"

Andre and Carly shared a quick gaze before looking at their daughter.

"Young lady." He said seriously. "I'm very disappointed in you."

"So am I." Carly said in an equal tone.

At that moment Rachel felt her heart was about to break, that is until they grabbed her and held her in their arms.

"You shouldn't have hidden this from us." Andre said gently. "You had nothing to worry about."

"Your father's right." Carly agreed. "There was no reason for you to hide the fact that you're in a relationship from us, especially since we're always going to love and support you no matter what."

Rachel's lips trembled and once more hugged her parents.

All was right with the world.


Tori made the ride back to her house but not before giving her son one last hug and suggesting to Carly and Andre that they should all have dinner sometime with their daughters as a means of celebration.

Rachel and Danielle went out for their date night, while Tawny was out with some friends, so Tori was going to take advantage of the fact that the house would be empty for a few hours and planned to make most of the time with her wife.

The moment the Latina made it home, she went to the bedroom she shared with Jade only to notice that she was already under the cover sleeping.

"You got a head's up on napping." Tori thought with a grin. "When you wake up I have so much to tell you."

She got under the covers, joining her spouse in dreamland.

Jade subconsciously muttered in her sleep.

"My wife is here."


Well I didn't expect to make this so mushy but after writing this scene with Andre and Rachel as father and daughter, how could I not?

I remember telling you guys that I promised that I would reveal who Rachel's mother was and I had planned for it to be Carly from the beginning, truth be told the backstory of who Rachel's real father was kept changing, at one point he was even supposed to be dead but I thought that Carly falling for the wrong guy only to eventually marrying Andre would be more interesting as it would give Rachel more of a personality than just being known as Danielle's girlfriend.

As for Tony being best friends with Amy, which was meant to give him someone else to talk to, since so far his only interaction outside of his family has been Emily and they met in high school, so I decided that like Tori and Andre who are best friends then their kids should also be.

On another note, I couldn't resist making a reference to "Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus" by making Jade hate GIR's "Peace is Nice" song since I could totally see her hating it and possibly be jealous of how popular it is, heh… Especially after already seeing so many different version of it.

Jade and Tori have already met Zim and Gaz in my fic "Eye of the Beholder" so, I'm keeping it canon that only Dib and Gaz can see through Zim and GIR's disguises unlike everyone else who can't.

Tori having issues with driving again was meant to b a reference to an earlier chapter in which she unintentionally locked Tony in her car… That she eventually destroyed since she couldn't handle being near it.

As for Tori telling Tony to remember that she loves him after seeing Rachel and Andre sharing a hug? That was meant to say that when she eventually reveals to him that he's adopted that no matter what he's still her son.

Anyway, this chapter was longer than I expected but nonetheless I had fun writing it.

Hopefully I can update much faster next time, all in all, what did you guys think of this latest installment? Good? Bad? In Between?

Invader Johnny Signing Off.
