Saturday 8 July 2017, Glastonbury, England
After the party in Luna Nova, Akko and Diana practically didn't leave their room, at least until the next day, where Kagari had to wake up early to go training and then return home, since she was staying the weekend at home with her mothers. The training as always was the same, with the Japanese girl giving a breakthrough that she always gave daily, even getting some good results, with the end of the training session she takes the van back to her mothers house, arriving there with the two watching television together.
Atsuko went walking to show her faces to the mothers, who were very entertained watching Breaking Bad, and soon arrived at their mothers' sofa, hugging them both, who noticed the presence of their daughter and even paused the series.
" Akko! We missed you so much... So how was your week? Did you have a lot of fun this time? " Saori asked.
" And we can see that our girl is a little stronger just because of the training she must be having with Ursula and Croix, she must really have everything to win this girl, although I think this is a feeling more than just that " said Morgana and right then the daughter of the two blushed a little more.
" I... Ah mums, I still want to beat her in the skateboarding championship that will take place in Luna Nova, but I don't see Diana as that annoying girl from before that I wanted to beat so much, she doesn't seem so annoying, she even seems like a friend... I even think, I think there is something going on, I don't know " Akko said scratching the back of her neck and the two mothers were getting smiles on their faces.
" Ah how interesting, so our little girl is in love with Cavendish? Well we did miss the way you were angrily describing her last week, that just indicates you have something there, hahaha " Morgana said and right at that moment their daughter gets her cheeks inflated with even more embarrassment.
" Tell us more about Cavendish, we can help you with that " Saori said as she reached Atsuko with her hands on her shoulders.
While Akko was trying to think of a way to vent about Cavendish, back in Luna Nova, as also in the usual of that time, in the blue team room, there gathered the two Cavendish sisters, ready for a video call on Discord with their mothers, using the computer where the older one always used to stay playing the two were anxiously waiting for the call with their mothers who soon call the duo.
" Good afternoon Diana and Hellene, you really don't miss the hour to have a call with us, we are missing you a lot " Said Laura who was wearing sunglasses with a sound that sounded like the sea.
" Are you at the beach mum? " Diana asked.
" No way, I went to the Andes in the icy mountains, that sound is from the snow, it is just that I am crazy to wear a swimming costume in winter " McLaren mother answers her daughter with the usual short and thick manner until Bernadette comes.
" Laura! Stop being so rude with the girls and yes, we are at the beach, we are in France now, just to give a relax in the summer, I wanted to spend at the beach, even Laura wants all the time to go to the cold and you know how Laura is a stubborn one haha, and then how are my two little girls? " asks mum Cavendish.
" They must be up to a lot of mischief " said the red"headed mother in the background.
" I don't think it's such a bummer to stay here, having to watch my sister, who is only a year younger than me. We have been getting along well with some people, we have been doing some things, the weather around here is not all that boring.
" In fact it's because Diana is falling in love with a girl here called Akko, they keep saying they are rivals and everything else, but after what happened yesterday I don't think it's just rivalry, no." Hellene replied, making her sister blush and her blue"eyed mother curious as well.
" What do you mean my Diana is in love with a girl? Tell me more about this Hellene and explain yourself Diana, what have you done with this Akko? " said curious Laura.
" Mum, we were just dancing together in the club that took place here, we started to follow the music, nothing special but in the end our faces were so close, especially my nose with hers, we almost kissed, but I ran away ashamed " Answers the eldest daughter.
" I saw everything, it was wonderful, I wish I could have gotten advances like that, but it seems that Mari... I mean, nothing, nothing, I didn't say anything " The youngest almost lets it slip about who she was into.
" Mari is it? Who is this Mari too Miss Hellene? " asked the redheaded mother.
" It seems that our girls are very busy with their hearts, it even seems like we are love, remember when I met you and you also met me, that feeling that we created, you were practically the keys to my chain " Bernadette said affectionately.
" We already know this story, mother... " said the two daughters.
" You had to see the chemistry between Diana and Akko, the two of them dancing with Careless Whisper, their faces getting close, they seemed to know each other for a long time, so much so that they almost kissed, I even think that they are using all this as an excuse to make out later hahaha " Hellene said while Diana stood with her arms crossed in shame.
" Oh how cute, is that Akko? " McLaren asked her mother.
Soon Hellene was taking her mobile phone and searching for pictures, showing the mothers a picture of the moment when they almost kissed, then changing to one where she took a picture of Akko to register the moment of the party, what the mothers were liking the new possible daughter"in"law, thinking she was pretty cute.
At Kagari'
s family home things were pretty calm, the mothers were talking to the daughter about romance and relationships, even if the daughter wasn't thinking much of it.
" I appreciate your help, but it's not that much... Even though Diana's being nice and all, I still don't think we'd ever fit in," Akko said.
" Why? Do you know her family? I'm sure they would accept you, Diana is also the fruit of a two"mother relationship " Morgana said and just then the Japanese woman's eyebrow arched.
" And how do you know that, Mother? Bernadette never spoke publicly about her relationship, nor do they show themselves to the media... " Said the daughter getting suspicious.
" I'm just guessing, I know Bernadette is a lesbian, so that part of the family doesn't have a problem, even if Diana is from a higher class, it's not like she cares about this issue, just because she was more friendly with you and the others, it just shows that she doesn't care about this," Morgana said with her hand on the shoulder of the line that was getting a smile on her face.
Saori soon arrives also with some pancakes, where they are starting to eat to replenish their energy, especially their daughter, who was still tired from the training with Croix and Ursula.
Back at Luna Nova, the conversation about romances was getting more and more relaxed, so much that soon Hellene was starting to tell about her roll with Marianne and how she was creating interest in her too.
" So, the Mari I told you about, her name is Marianne Leclerc, she's one of the orphans here, a really nice girl, we talk about anime, manga, she likes the things I like, not to mention she's cute " Hellene said showing a picture of the girl who was creating interest.
" She's pretty cute too, then we'll want to have a chat with our two daughters"in"law, just so we know if they'll be good girlfriends for our two girls heh " Said Laura putting on a bit of fear.
" Laura! Don't scare the children " said Bernadette scolding her wife.
" And who knows, maybe one day in the future we'll have children... " Said Hellene all excited and at that moment a silence came.
Back at the Kagari family home, Atsuko was devouring the pancakes, she was making them very quickly, so much so that her mothers asked her to take a break, to calm her nerves a little so that she wouldn't eat so much in a mad rush.
" Take it easy Akko, the food won't come flying out like that " Saori said calming her daughter who took a breath, until she decides to ask a question that was stuck in her throat.
" Mothers... Just answer me one thing... How was I born? How can I be a daughter of both of you? Like I don't care if only one of you is really my biological mother or until I'm adopted, but I'm kind of old enough to know these things," Kagari's daughter asked, causing a huge shock, so much so that both mothers went into shock.
In Luna Nova was also having the biggest shock in the video call, the silence with Hellene's affirmation, which decides on top of that to give a complement, since she wanted to know things.
" Come on mothers, you don't have to hide it from us, please tell us where we come from... I'm already 14, you really aren't going to hide this from me are you? " Said the youngest daughter pleadingly and soon Diana arrived to improve the mood.
" Look, I don't think this is the right time to say about these things... It's kind of obvious that you did artificial insemination and had us and it's ok, I really don't care if I'm Hellene's half sister or if I'm not the biological mother of Laura's mother, in the end what matters is the whole relationship we built... " The older one tries to use logic, but that's the moment Hellene won't let go.
" It's not that Diana, even I believed it could be like that, but then I with Holly and Aunt Chelsea's help was able to get a DNA test, how are you two our biological mothers? Is there something bigger that you don't want to tell us? If you want we can do it again, but it will give the same result," said the younger girl, already putting the mothers against the wall with this statement.
The silence again took over that call, Diana just passes her hand on her face discredited that her sister is still in these statements that for her are still very fanciful. At the Kagari's house things were going on in a similar way, both mothers remained without reaction to Akko's question, but soon Morgana is the one who decides to take the reins of the situation.
" You want to know? All right then... Wait for the right day, soon you will know Akko, that's all I'm saying, I don't want to ruin the surprise before the time, we will tell you in a while, for now let's just try not to talk about it, let's just keep letting it roll " Morgana said with a little more calm.
" We guarantee that this time we won't lie and it will be soon, trust us Atsuko, this time we are serious " Saori said.
" Soon I will know... So I guess I already have an idea what the answer is... Well anyway I'm not going to tell you to "spoil" the surprise " Kagari's daughter simply got up from there,
Somewhat more serious than before, she walked to her room and then to the bathroom where she went to take a shower after training so hard, to reflect those things about her own existence that have been building up so much in her head.
The same thing was also about to happen in Luna Nova, when the nerves calmed down, soon the elder sister of the Cavendish, arrives to use logic again.
" How much if we can believe this DNA testing clinic and even what aunt Chelsea handed over... Maybe she gave you a positive test just to reinforce the idea that mothers are our biological mothers. She must have done it for her own... " Diana barely completes while Hellene was already just avoiding listening to her sister until Bernadette and Laura with more serious expressions answered them.
" Diana... Hellene... It's not a lie... We really are their biological mothers, but the truth about that we won't be able to reveal " Said mother Cavendish.
" On the right day you will know the truth behind your origin, but for now, even if you are already the right age, you know what sex is and everything else, it is not only a simple explanation of sex that will tell you about what happened for you two to be our biological daughters," McLaren mother said and Diana continued with her hand on her chin until she reached a logical solution again.
" I know, mother Bernadette is trans! " Said Diana and on the spot the two mothers just shake their heads in denial.
" How can I be trans if I got pregnant? Laura wouldn't be either, she got pregnant with Hellene, it's an even more complicated thing than that " Bernadette replies.
" When the truth comes out you will understand why we stayed so long to explain the origin of you, because it is not really something that can be explained so easily, I only ask you both to be patient, I know that you also want to know soon, I know that this may even help your future and it really will, I only ask you to be more patient with this... Okay?" said Laura.
" It's OK, Mum " They both speak together.
" So I ask you to behave yourselves, we'll see you next week, have a good week and enjoy your crushes.
A silence was taking Diana's room, even Hellene was astonished by the mothers answer, thinking that they would try to make up somehow, but they only affirmed the conclusion about it all.
After that moment the mood of the two even changed a little so much that they both just gave each other a hug, the two sisters were slowly crying, as if a stone had fallen on top of them.
" Why are you crying sis? Mothers just stated their hypothesis " Diana said.
" Despite everything it was still a shock, they affirmed, I expected to be denied, not affirmed, now the way they talked about it all, I'm more getting scared than feeling relieved " Hellene answers wiping her tears.
" Fear? What fear? It's just sex, Hellene, every human being has sex, probably they must have found some technology that allowed their genetics to be passed on to create gametes or something like that " tries to explain the older one.
" You always all logic, but what if it's not that, if it's something bigger, just from the fact that the mothers took 15 years to tell it just shows that it's not something they can talk about naturally, you saw it from their scared faces, it was no expression that they felt impressed, it was a genuine fear, as if there was something holding them back to tell... Perhaps my fanciful statement may hide something more sinister... Something that even our lives might be at risk, I don't know sis " Said the younger one being hugged by the older one.
" Look no matter if it's fantasy or logic, we're in this together, I'll always be with you on this my little sister, I'll always protect you from the dangers, if it's any of the two, we'll get over it together, the mothers must have well explained reasons for not telling with tranquility, imagine just accepting the idea that two lesbians can have biological daughters? " The platinum blonde haired girl said, patting her sister on the head.
" You are right little sister, I will also be on your side in this, I love you my sister... I don't want to lose you, you are my only little sister, well at least now we know that we are not only sisters for being sisters, we are also blood sisters,
" We always were, even before I knew that, I thought I still had half the blood, but anyway it's good to know that we're 100% blood sisters, you were right in some things we're very similar, our noses, even the way our hair curls, anyway... I just know that when the truth comes I won't stop protecting my little sister.
" And I won't go either, even if the older one is the one who needs protection, even more with these thin arms, who sees us thinks at the time that you are the weak one of us two, what they aren't wrong even heh " Said the purple"eyed one returning the head rubbing.
At this time the sisters are even more relaxed and soon Diana even throws a pillow at her sister, starting a pillow fight between the two Cavendish, kind of to lighten the mood after the questions about the origin of the girls that will still be a revelation that will come as a bombshell in a few days.
The girls asked their mothers about their origins, because they didn't want to keep it a secret, but it was a good thing to lighten up, especially because of the conclusions they all found out, that they really are biological daughters of two mothers, but it was still a big mystery how it happened.
See you, mother witches...
