It had been a few months since Chloe was putting the last of her stuff in a moving van. Joyce tried to convince Chloe to stay but knew Chloe needed the space she just wanted Chloe to stay so she could at least get on better terms with David but she knew that was never going happen. David hasn't been the biggest supporter of her relationship with Rachel now adding in Maxine didn't help. He saw them as enablers to Chloe's destructive habits especially Rachel. Rachel always brought weed over while Maxine got Chloe into death metal he also didn't approve of her style. Maxine's emo makeup didn't sit well with him. Moving into Rachel's house was the best thing they all agreed on [David wasn't okay with it]. Chloe was of age to move out anyways.
Chloe was fitting up the house giving it a more welcoming vibe. While also baby proofing it because they all agreed they wanted to adopt a child. What they didn't take into account was that they'd be adopting three siblings. However, the story behind them was the reason why they couldn't break up the family.
Maxine, Rachel, and Chloe were taken to see the children in the age range they were interested in they watched as all the kids were running around playing but there was one girl that sat in the far corner with a journal. They were interested in her so they walked over to her. "What's a girl like you doing over here all alone and not playing with the others?" asked Rachel.
The girl glanced up at the three as she set aside her journal. "Because my best friend isn't here anymore she got adopted three months ago and I have trouble making friends. My name's Bella….well actually it's Bellatrix which is another reason why I don't like hanging out with the others," said Bella.
Maxine nodded. "Well, Bella I think your name is perfect. Those other kids don't know what it means," she said.
Bella placed a hand over her journal. "I know it means female warrior. But I don't feel like I am one. The other kids think I'm weird." said Bella.
Chloe kneeled down in front of Bella. "Why would they think you're weird?" she asked.
Bella glanced around making sure no one was watching before she held a ball of electricity in her hand. "I can't explain it."
Rachel took hold of her hand. "Bella, you're not the only one with this gift," she said as she made a mini tornado in her. "I think you will make a great addition to our family."
Bella shook her head. "I'm not leaving my sisters behind. They need me they don't trust easily because of our parents. Mom was verbally abusive while dad just watched and did nothing, it didn't help much when he just left one day. Mom always blamed us for that, but I took the full brunt of the abuse to spare my sisters she never laid a hand on them. But for me that was a different story because I was daddy's favorite." she said.
Maxine nodded. "What's your sisters' names?"
Bella smiled. "Rota and Gondul….dad named them….he really loved Norse mythology. Rota is three and Gondul is just a baby after she was born dad dipped."
Max crossed her arms. You think they have powers too?
Maxine shrugged. There's a strong possibility. Which means we're the only ones that will be able to take care of them. This isn't by chance this it destiny bring us together or maybe a gift the Raven King has left us.
Rachel nudged Maxine. "What are you and Max talking about?"
Maxine shook her head. "Nothing, we can't say no to her what if your sisters' have powers as well we're the only ones in Arcadia Bay that can help them," explained Maxine.
It had been a while since Chloe seen the inside of this house it brought back memories. This would be the first time Maxine has ever set foot in this house she gave a questioning look at the table with broken glass underneath it.
Chloe crossed her arms. "After Rachel and I skipped we found her dad with Sera which at the time we didn't know was her biological mother. Rachel's a force to be reckoned with when she's pissed her dad was yelling at me when she just smashed the table," explained Chloe.
Rachel smiled. "That was my proudest moment. C'mon let's get this shit out of here so we can finally bring our daughters home."
The whole day was them cleaning the house getting it child-friendly it was perfect. Everything they could ever want little did they know there was someone watching from distance. After they finished baby proofing and getting the kids room all decorated and stuff Chloe drove to get the girls with the new car Nathan bought her as a housewarming gift while he got her truck fixed up for family trips. Maxine unfused with Max letting her enjoy the new house for herself Maxine sat on Rachel's lap as they watched Harry Potter together.
Maxine was a hardcore Slytherin while Max has stated that she's a Gryffindor, Rachel mentioned how she had gotten both Slytherin and Ravenclaw when figuring out her house. "So, that makes you a Slytherclaw. That's interesting," said Maxine.
The front door opened as Bellatrix walked in. "Wow, this is a really nice place. Wait who she!?" she asked pointing at Max.
Maxine smiled. "Bella, this is Max she is from another timeline I created. We are one in the same with different personality traits," said Maxine.
Rota held onto Bella's arm. "What do we call you?" asked Rota.
Chloe grinned. "You can call me papa okay. Rachel will be mama and the Maxs will be mommy how does that sound?" asked Chloe.
Bella walked over to the couch. "You're watching Harry Potter? I never watched it I've only read the first book…."
Maxine gasped. "You seriously haven't watched Harry Potter or read any of the other books? We're going to need to change that real quick baby girl. Especially since you are named after one of my favorite characters." said Maxine.
Bella blushed. "I was never allowed to read before so I only got around to reading the first book….Melissa….our mother burnt every book I ever had." frowned Bella.
Rachel sighed. "You're in better care now. We'll do things your parents never let you do. C'mon what else were you not allowed to do?" asked Rachel.
Rota nervously walked over to the couch. "W-Well, we were never allowed a dog. M-Mother always h-hit me if I asked…." she said.
Chloe nodded. "We'll figure out something."
Chloe walked over to the recliner holding Gondul. It's strange to think about it not too long ago everyone was telling her how immature she was and how she needs to grow up. Without having any interaction with kids let alone a baby holding Gondul felt natural to her. Having Rachel and Maxine by her side made her feel more confident in herself. While everyone else doubted her they never swayed. They fought tooth and nail to prove how very wrong people were to judge Chloe yes she acted immaturely but when it came down to it she was the most mature out of all of them. She had to grow up fast after losing her father her mother took up more hours at the diner to support them she just had to roll with the punches. She never admitted it to anyone else how much she wanted to be a mother because she knew whoever wasn't Maxine, Rachel or maybe even Joyce would just laugh at her and think she was joking.
After moving into Rachel's house making it their home to later fully discussed the idea of having kids adoption or finding a donor the three had become more mature as they tried to get away from everyone that doubted. Chloe got a job working as a mechanic, Maxine is a photographer for a newspaper and Rachel has become a YouTuber she gave up on her dream of being a model after the whole Dark Room she didn't want to feel vulnerable like that again. Oddly, she has gotten a fan following over her showcasing her powers same thinking it's fake while other believing it as real. With Rachel being a YouTuber she gets to stay home more and with Maxine's obsession over cameras [though nothing will beat her polaroid camera] makes sure that Rach has the best picture quality all the time. The dynamic they had was perfect for them. Because while two of them had "real jobs" they kind of used Rachel's YouTube channel as a way to have fun.
The video ideas they could do since they had powers was almost seemly not to mention throwing Warren into some as well with his video powers was the most fun they had in a while. They had finished watching the first Harry Potter movie hours ago they were still in the living room playing with the kids. Watching Gondul crawl was the most adorable thing ever. Maxine had shown off her Harry Potter collection to Bellatrix getting her interested in reading it again. Rachel was entertaining Rota and Gondul with her wind powers when the doorbell rang. Chloe got up from her spot on the floor to answer the door. She wasn't too thrilled to see a familiar face. "C-Chloe…..I didn't realize you lived here I was hoping to see Rachel."
Chloe scoffed. "Eliot, what the hell are you doing here? Still mad that I rejected your feelings?"
Eliot bit his lower lip. "Why won't you see that she's just using you?"
Chloe growled. "That's no way to talk about my future wife. Now, get out or I will call the cops."
"Chloe, who's at the door?" asked Rachel.
Chloe chuckled. "No one important they were just leaving."
Maxine saw how Chloe was standing at the door like she was trying to prevent someone from coming in she walked over to her as she wrapped her arms around her waist. "Che, are you okay?" she asked.
Chloe smiled as she kissed Maxine's forehead. "I'm fine baby," she said.
Eliot not knowing anything about Maxine he finally leaves. Chloe closes the door bring Maxine close to her chest. "You saved me from punching him in the face."
Maxine looked up at Chloe. "Who was that guy and why was he so keen on getting in?"
Chloe sighed. "That would be Eliot the worst mistake of my life. After you left I was lonely and I used him as a way to cope with dad dying we hooked up a few times and that was it. Somehow he assumed that we were a thing and still thinks Rachel's using me for something." explained Chloe.
Maxine kissed Chloe's wrist. "Do we need to worry about him?"
Chloe shrugged. "I don't know but whatever happens let me deal with it, after all, I am bulletproof."
Maxine giggled. "Fair enough."
The two returned to the living room. They ended up play a rather intense game of Uno attack hailing Bellatrix as the winner. Rota and Bella had stated they were tired from all the fun they were having it was a long time since they laughed so they were shown their rooms. Bella and Rota unpacked the few things they brought with them. Bella brought a stuff Cyndaquil to Gondul who squealed holding it tightly. "Dad got her that for her second birthday that was the last thing she remembers of him."
Rachel kissed Bella and Rota on the forehead. "Sleep, tight girls. If you need anything we're down the hall."
Rota smiled. "Thank you, papa, mommy, and mama. This is the first time I've felt safe in a while."
Maxine nodded. "You're welcome little one," said Maxine turning off the light.
The three of them returned to their room with Gondul who wasn't tired at all. Chloe placed her on the bed as they watched her glance around the room. "She's so cute I don't see why her mother would give her up," said Rachel.
Maxine nodded. "Well, at least we get to raise her. She will be a little warrior."
Gondul crawled over to Chloe as she placed herself on her lap. "I think she has a favorite parent already," said Chloe.
Rachel smiled. "That doesn't surprise me. She must see something in you."
Max smiled. It's nice to see Chloe happy like this. Thank you for this.
Maxine nodded. I could not let you go back to nothing. That's like sending Future Trunks back to his timeline where everyone's dead.
Max burst into laughter. That couldn't be truer.
Gondul tried to walk over to Maxine when she lost her balance falling on her face she cried Maxine picked her up soothing her. "Aww c'mon Gondul you're okay. See you're fine." said Maxine.
Rachel and Chloe smiled. It has been so long since they felt happiness Maxine gave that back to them. Without her well they'd be dead right now. Maxine looked up at them. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rachel shook her head. "Nothing, we just love you so much. We'd be dead by now if it wasn't for you."
Maxine blushed. "Awww, Razor Blade you're gunna make me cry."
Gondul yawned finally giving in to sleep. Maxine walked over to her crib laying her down placing the Cyndaquil in the corner. The three of them got changed into some PJs as they got in bed together. Maxine was in the middle as usual with Chloe on her left and Rachel on her right.
The following morning, Rachel woke up by the sound of Gondul crying. She walked over to her crib placing a hand on her forehead to try and calm her down. It worked for a while but Gondul started getting hissy. Rachel picked her up Gondul snuggled against her neck. She walked over to the changing table after she finished changing her Gondul still was getting fussy. Rachel brought her to the bed she stroked her hair before she started singing to Gondul, she looked up at her while slowly stop crying. Chloe woke up to the sound of Rachel's voice. She smiled kissing Rachel's shoulder. "Morning, baby girl how's our little nudge doing?" she asked.
Rachel smiled kissing her back. "She was a bit fussy but I think my singing calmed her down. But I think what she really wants is her papa. What do you say Gondul want to play with papa Chloe for a bit so mama gets to take a shower?"
Gondul squealed as she extended her arm towards Chloe. Chloe took hold of the baby kissing her nose. Rachel got up from the bed to head to the shower. Feeling the lack of heat and weight Maxine woke up to an empty bed she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, hearing the shower she smirked as she walked to the bathroom stripping her clothes wrapping her arms around Rachel's waist.
Rachel yelped. "Jesus fucking Christ, Maxine! You scared the shit out of me."
Maxine kissed her neck. "I hope not, Razor Blade than that would defeat the purpose of a shower."
Rachel turned to face her. "Oh, you think you funny now?"
Maxine chuckled. "Yeah I think I'm funny what are you gunna do about it?" asked Maxine sucking on Rachel's pulse point.
Rachel cupped her right hand between Maxine's legs kneading her thumb on Maxine's clit. "I have a few things in mind," she whispered.
Maxine moaned she smiled before she got hit by a wave of memories.
Scorpion pushed her against a bed she tried to push her off but Scorpion kept undressing her. "Don't be such a bitch."
Maxine tried to push her off her but Scorpion was stronger than her. She felt her stroking her clit.
Maxine slipped. "Fuck stop!"
Rachel caught her before she hit her head. "What's wrong?" asked Rachel taking hold of Maxine's hand.
Maxine slapped her hand away. "Don't fucking touch me, you bitch!"
Maxine shook her head she grabbed her clothes getting dressed racing downstairs passing Chloe, Rota and Bellatrix she ran out of the house with Rachel shortly behind her. Confused Chloe grabbed Rachel's wrist. "What's wrong what happened?" she asked.
Rachel shrugged. "I-I don't know…..I….we were. Chloe….I think I messed up."
Bellatrix looked up at her parents. "What's wrong with mom? Why is she running out? I can watch Rota and Gondul if you need to follow her."
Chloe kneeled down to Bella. "Call us if something happens. If you can't get a hold of us call Uncle Nathan," said Chloe.
Bellatrix nodded Chloe and Rachel followed after Maxine. Chloe had an idea of where they'd find her she just hoped she was right about it. Maxine sat on the edge of the cliff near the lighthouse. Tears ran down her face she tried to calm herself down. "Wallflower."
Maxine looked up to see Chloe and Rachel. "Leave me alone!"
Rachel slowly walked toward her. "Little doe if I did something I'm sorry."
Maxine glared. "I told you to leave me alone, bitch! Why can't you just leave me alone!?"
Chloe cringed at the tone Maxine had. Rachel was one to brush off insults but she hated it when she was called a bitch it was the one thing someone could call her that hurt her. She was fine with it in a joking manner but since she was a cheerleader she was looked at as a prep despite everyone knowing her punk rock side. Everyone assumed that the only reason why she was with Chloe was to piss her parents off which is why they called her a slut because some rumor went around that she was dating Nathan they broke up because he found out she slept with Jefferson and caught her cheating on him with Chloe.
Chloe came into her life during her darkest moment it pissed her off that everyone would assume that she was leading her on for some sick game. She loves Chloe with her heart and soul she would do anything for Chloe same thing for Maxine. So, she can't figure out what she did to piss Maxine off. "Wallflower, what's wrong? Why are you yelling at Rachel?"
Maxine shook her. "Just get out of my head…."
Hey, that's Rachel you're yelling at not Scorpion look you're hurting her feelings.
Maxine snapped out of it. "R-Razor Blade….I'm so sorry!" said Maxine running over to hug Rachel.
Rachel sighed. "I'm sorry too if I did something you didn't like. What happened, little doe?"
Maxine gulped. "I-I had a flashback to another version of me….with Scorpion and in that timeline she….raped me…."
Chloe joined the hug. "Well, she's not here. Baby, we're here for you let's get back home I'm sure Bella and Rota would want to know you're okay."
Maxine nodded holding Chloe and Rachel's hand walking back to the house. They didn't realize that they were being followed. Looking through a telescope at the happy family in pure disgust was Eliot and Scorpion. "I will take what's mine, Rachel Amber."
Back inside the house, Bella hugged Maxine. "Are you okay mommy?"
Maxine nodded. "I'm okay. I'm sorry if I scared you."
Bella shook her head. "I wasn't scared. I just wanted you to be okay."
Maxine returned the hug the family sat in the living room watching Disney movies together. Chloe chuckled as she listened to Maxine and Rachel singing A Whole New World. Bella kept yelling that they were being embarrassing. They all connected really quickly that you'd think they had always been in eaother'sers lives. Maxine had unfused with Max which the girls decided to call her just ma when Maxine and her were split to stop confusion. "I had a crazy stupid idea you want to do it?" asked Chloe.
Maxine tossed a pillow at Chloe. "Well, that depends on what it is, Kuda?"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Why don't we take the girls to my mom. It will show David that I've changed….that we've changed. Besides, I kind of want to see if Gondul will like him."
Max shrugged. "I don't think it's a bad idea. Besides, I don't mind being on the back end this is your timeline I'm fine being a second voice at times." said Max.
Maxine glanced at her counterpart. "You sure about that?"
Max nodded. "We got Jefferson that's more than I can ask for and you brought Chloe back into my life I'm okay with just being in the background."
Maxine sighed. "Okay, fine if you're with it then so am I." she said walking over to Max.
Max smiled hugging Maxine as they become on being again. I'm just happy to see Chloe everyday.
I'm glad you're okay Max. I always thought I hurt you the most trying to get this outcome of a timeline.
At least we don't have to worry about it. You got the alpha timeline that I couldn't. Chloe's alive and so is Rachel.
Rota broke Maxine out of her conversation with Max. "C-Can you and Max have internal conversations?"
Maxine nodded. "Yes, we were having one just now."
Rota blushed. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt…."
Poor girl she's so afraid of upsetting us. Tell her I'm not mad. Maxine chuckled. "Rota, you don't have to worry Max and I talk a lot especially at night she's not mad."
Chloe kissed Rota's forehead. "So, you want to meet my parents and sister?"
Rota shuffled uncomfortably for a second Bella placed a hand on Rota's shoulder. "I don't mind it if we do. I want would like to meet my grandparents." said Bella.
Rachel nodded. "Why don't you call of your mom, Priceless to set something up."
Chloe got up from the couch grabbing her phone to call her mom. She left the living room walking towards the dining room. "Hey mom."
Joyce smiled. "Chloe it's nice to hear from you."
Chloe chuckled. "Yeah same here. Listen Rachel thought it'd be a great idea to have you meet her mom with the Caulfields."
Joyce nodded. "That's a wonderful idea, Chloe!"
Chloe smiled. "Listen I gotta go I'll see you later."
Chloe hung up walking back into the living room. She leaned against the wall watching Maxine and Rachel trying to teach Gondul how to walk while Rota and Bella were playing Smash Bros. "Well, seems like today the day I give my mom a heart attack."
Rachel grinned. "Mom is excited to meet your parents and Maxine's."
Chloe sat down the the floor as Gondul crawled into her lap. "I just hope David doesn't say anything."
Maxine nudged Chloe. "You got us and the girls don't worry about him. Rota, Bella why don't you two get dressed."
Bella nodded. "Can we do it after this match?"
Chloe shook her head. "One match!"
Bellatrix and Rota did play one match where Bella lost on purpose to give her sister a win. They went up to their room to get dressed. Chloe got everything they needed for Gondul in the car they were about to leave before Gondul started crying. Bella looked at her to realize she didn't have Cyndaquil she rushed back into the house to grab it. The moment Cyndaquil was in her arms she stopped crying.
The car ride to the Price house consisted of everyone arguing what to play on the radio but ultimately the one that got to decide what everyone got to listen to was Gondul. She wouldn't stop crying if they didn't play what she wanted to listen to. Bella chuckled as she watched Gondul giggle and clap at the Game of Thrones soundtrack. They pulled up at the Price house they could already tell that Maxine's parents were already there and so was Rachel's mom. Maxine and Rachel decided to go in first as Bella wanted to be a part of this surprise on her grandma Rota just went along with it because Bella wanted to.
Maxine saw the look on her parents' face when she walked in hand in hand with Rachel. "Hi ma, pop." she said.
Ryan shook his head. "When have you ever called us that Maxine?" he asked.
Maxine rolled her eyes. "I guess it doesn't matter. I should always call you by first name. I think that'll be better." said Maxine she caught a glimpse of Joyce from the corner of her eye. "Mom! It's so great to see you again. Chloe will be here shortly she just needed to get somethings out of the car." she said hugging the woman.
Joyce returned the hug. "It's so good to see you two girls again."
Rachel smiled. "It's nice to see you too, ma."
Sera walked over to Maxine and Rachel. "Hey sweetheart was this party your idea?" she asked.
Rachel shrugged. "Maybe."
All the parents got settled in making small talk all the while Joyce and Lisha kept asking about Chloe. The door opened but Chloe didn't walk in it was Bella and Rota as they ran passed everyone else to grab hold of Maxine and Rachel's leg. "Are there snacks?" asked Bella.
Maxine nodded. "Yes there are snacks where's papa?"
Rota nervously answered. "S-She had t-to calm Gondul d-down." stammered Rota. She hung onto Rachel's leg scared of everyone here. Rachel picked her up. That was when Chloe walked in holding Gondul. She walked over to Maxine and Rachel kissing them. "Sorry I'm late baby girl was anxious."
Joyce gasped. "Chloe what's going on?"
Chloe smiled. "Mom, this is your granddaughters, Bellatrix, Rota and this little lady right here is Gondul."
David crossed his arms. "This has to be a joke right. There's no way this can be real."
Chloe scoffed. "What's wrong David don't see me as mother or I guess a better father."
David was about to grab Chloe but got kicked in the cock by Bella. "Don't fucking touch my papa!" hissed Bella. Gondul clapped and laughed as she saw David fall to the floor.
Maxine kneeled down to her. "Bella that was very rude of you to do. You're not suppose to use those word either. When we get home you're not going to have any games." said Maxine.
Bella was about to argue against the punishment but saw Maxine wink. "Okay…."
Sera shook her head. "So how old is this little one?" she asked.
Bella answered. "Gondul's a three months, Rota's three and I'm six."
Margo chuckled. "She reminds me of you in a way babe."
Rachel explained everything. "Maxine, Chloe and I were talking when we moved back into my house about starting a family so we ended up adopting these three." she said
Bella grinned. "Well it was just gunna be me but I can't leave my sisters behind. Gondul doesn't like guys all that much."
Chloe chuckled. "I have a feeling she'll take a liking to Nathan."
Joyce hugged Chloe. "I'm proud of you Chloe. You really have grown up."
Chloe smiled. "Thanks mom."
Maxine saw how her parents reacted to Rachel explaining how they had daughters. After learning that her parents wanted her to drop all ties with Chloe it was time to do her grand plan that she thought of doing for a long time but the right moment was never there but today's going to be that day. She got Rachel and Chloe to stand in the middle of the room as she got down on one knee. "You two have entered my life when I thought I had nothing to live for. Chloe, you had every right to be mad at me and Rachel you had every right to hate me for being a flake on Chloe. Yet you two stayed and gave me a chance; a chance that will change my life forever so will you marry me?"
Rachel was brought to tears. "Little doe, of course I'll marry you!"
Chloe's heart skipped a beat. "Wallflower, we've been best friends for years I have dreamt of this day a lot."
Maxine grinned. "So, you've been holding out on me have you? I love you both."
Rachel smiled. "I love you too, little doe. I got something for you when we get home."
Maxine gulped she could only think of what Rachel had planned for her when they got home. But her thought were cut off by Chloe picking her up. "Ahhh what the fuck Chloe! Short people aren't supposed to be this high off the ground!" she yelled.
Chloe shook her head. "Nope! I just like making your life hell."
Maxine growled. "You are so dead when we get home! Put me down."
Chloe smirked. "As you wish….." she said. Maxine glared. "I swear to God if you drop me."
Bella tucked on Chloe's pants. "Papa, leave mama alone."
Chloe chuckled. "Fine, there you're back on the ground."
Ryan and Vanessa stood across the room trying to act like they were okay with this but they clearly weren't. Every since they got news that Maxine ran away with Chloe and Rachel it further proved that Chloe was a bad influence on their daughter. They refused to see that she's happy with Rachel and Chloe. They already knew what type of trouble Chloe was they didn't know shit about Rachel which worried them. They did know that her mother was a recovered drug addict they weren't okay with their daughter marrying either of them.
Maxine saw her parents reaction. "What's wrong don't approve of my choices of who I want to spend the rest of my life with? You don't approve of my life style? You have something to say to me? C'mon, share with the class on how much you really feel about Chloe and now what you think of Rachel."
Ryan sighed. "Max, we love you but are you sure this is what you want."
Maxine scrowled. "Oh so now you want to ask me how I feel about something? You didn't seem to care about how I felt after William died and how much I didn't want to move to Seattle but you know what that caused me." said Maxine.
Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Maxine Hermione Caulfield, you will stop this rebellious act right now and come to your senses. There is no way you can be in love with a punk and a druggie."
Maxine crossed her arms. "That's no way to talk about Razor Blade and Kuda. Sure okay let's go by your logic I would still fall in love with Rachel and Chloe no matter what because I love their personality. You can hate them all you want but I will not stand here as you trash talk my future wives. I thought I could get you to change but I'm starting to see there's no point anymore."
Bella and Rota walked the exchange between daughter and mother. "We shouldn't have given you so much freedom maybe than you wouldn't be dating girls from a broken home or adopted damaged children." said Vanessa.
Hurt by the statement made Bella glared Vanessa. "H-How dare you…..you don't know what we've been through! You can't know what I had to do to stay alive! You are just like the rest of them you are just like those kids back in the orphanage they always judge before getting to know and I am sick of it!" yelled Bella as the electricity started to flicker. "Mom hated me just because I was dad's favorite when he left I was the only one she laid a hand on. I wouldn't let her hit Rota because I'm a good sister. I woke up every morning thinking that none of this is real that I don't have loving parents now. It scares me so much that I sometimes refuse to sleep." said Bella as she started to glow. "I have always bite my tongue when people tried to assume how my life was. How much everyone called me and my sisters the broken girls. I am tired…..so fucking tired of everything that I just….wish I died back there….then maybe I wouldn't feel so empty…."
Ryan sighed. "Maxi you were supposed to get married to a guy have kids of your own not adopt them like their puppies some kids you can't fix."
Rota stood next to her sister. "I-Is that all you see us as? B-Broken? I-I guess you're right b-because I h-hate myself so much that….I-I s-sometimes agree with those who say I-I should b-be dead." said Rota.
Chloe sighed. "You happy now? You can dislike me all you want but do not insult our children. You may see them as broken but we see them as cracked they can be rebuild but not fully but that's not the point. Bella and Rota are hurting in ways you refuse to understand and in the short while we've had them we got them to be happy. Why can't you just be happy for us?"
Rachel kneeled down to Rota and Bella. "You two okay?"
Bella nodded. "Can we just go home now?"
Maxine kneeled down next to them as well. "I am so sorry about my parents had I known they'd react like this I wouldn't have invited them. You two are special and deserve way more than this." she said hugging the two.
Bella sniffled trying not to cry. "Can you carry me?"
Maxine kissed her cheek. "Of course my little lightning bolt. Ryan….Vanessa you're not invited to the wedding in fact you're not my parents anymore." said Maxine.
Maxine hugged Joyce, Sera and Margo. "I'm sorry about this. Maybe we can set something up. Just us girls."
Sera smiled. "I'd like that."
Rachel and Chloe hugged their mothers as they left the house. "You happy you drove your daughter away. Was it worth it?" asked Joyce.
Vanessa sighed. "I just want my little Maxine back."
Sera glared at them. "Don't ever you my past against my daughter. It's true I was a heroin addict but I'm clean. My past has hurt her in so many ways it took me for too long to make up for that. Rachel's a good girl and clearly she's deeply in love with your daughter. The way those three act they love each other so much." said Sera.
Ryan groaned. "She's still a destructive person like Chloe."
Joyce crossed her arms. "I'd hoped you two had change your views on me and Chloe after Maxine nearly commited suicide because of the move and the depression you send her into. You wonder why she always wanted to stay over so much it's because she was so afraid to be herself back home." said Joyce.
Vanessa and Ryan shook their heads as they just left the house. Walking to their car they could hear Maxine, Chloe and Rachel talking as they got the kids loaded into the car. "Don't cry little doe, just because you share blood doesn't mean they're family."
Maxine nodded. "I-I'm sorry, Razor Blade. Chloe and I had come into agreement that they'd never like her I had hoped they'd take a liking to you because you and I went to Blackwell together."
Rachel smiled. "I don't care what your parents think of me. All I care about is you, Chloe and the girls."
Chloe kissed Maxine's forehead. "At least my mom and Rachel's moms are okay with you. David will be a bit of work but he doesn't like anyone. Who your parents are doesn't define who you are. You define you."
Maxine chuckled. "Max also agree with you. Thanks for cheering me up I love you."
Rachel smirked. "We love you too." she said hugging Maxine squeezing her ass.
Maxine playfully pushed Rachel off her. "No need to get handy right now. There plenty of time for that at home." she said. Ryan and Vanessa gagged.
Chloe rolled her eyes. "You two are something else c'mon let go home Gondul is getting fussy, Rota is trembling and Bella is drained from losing her control." said Chloe.
Maxine glanced over to Gondul. "Wait, where's her Cyndaquil?"
Chloe groaned. "Fuck, she must have dropped it when we left the house. Rachel and I will go back to go looking for it." said Chloe.
Maxine nodded she walked over to Rota placing a hand on her shoulder. "You okay?"
Rota shook her head. "N-No….I just want to go h-home. My anxiety is just…."
Maxine kissed her forehead. "I want you to say this while breathing in and out, the sun, the moon, the truth."
Rota nodded taking a deep breath. "The sun, the moon, the truth." she exhaled.
Maxine smiled. "Better?"
Rota nodded. "Yes….thanks mama. I wish your parents were cool as mommy's and papa's." said Rota.
Maxine sighed. "Me too." she said unknowingly unfusing with Max.
Max placed a hand on her counterpart's shoulder. "At least you had balls to call them out. I heard the saying there are the family we're born into and the family that we choose. The one you choose is the most important."
Maxine shrugged. "I guess….were they as this back in your timeline?"
Max rubbed her neck. "Ummm, I wouldn't know in my timeline they died in a car crash when I went back to Blackwell. Which is why I couldn't sacrifice Chloe because I wouldn't have anyone to go back to." said Max.
Maxine shook her head. "Nice try Max but you can't out shit parent me. C'mon back you go I'll making it up to you somehow."
Max smiled. "You already made it up to me. I'm here with Chloe that's all I can ask for."
Maxine chuckled. "At least you're a simple woman."
Chloe and Rachel returned emptied handed. "It wasn't in the house." said Chloe.
Gondul started crying she was panicking that she didn't have her comfort toy. "C-Cynd!"
Bella frowned. "That's the first time I heard her say a word for a while. Evenly would scold her every time she spoke so she just gave up."
Vanessa and Ryan walked towards their car. Maxine glared at them her glare intensified when she saw her mother holding onto Cyndaquil. "Give me back my daughter's Pokemon."
Vanessa shook her head. "Maxine you need to learn to let this go. They are not good for you."
Bella got out of the car. "Give my sister back Cyndaquil that's the last thing she remembers of our dad. It means a lot to her."
Vanessa sighed. "Fine if you won't come to your senses Maxi then I'm going to have to force you to." she said ripping Cyndaquil's head off. Throwing it on the ground.
Maxine growled. "Are you fucking kidding me! You serious think destroying my daughter's toy will make me realize that I am not madly in love with Rachel and Chloe. That I don't love my daughters at all. Gondul's just a baby she has nothing to do with the relationship between us." hissed Maxine.
Bella lost it at this point. She held out her hand as a bolt of lightning came out pinning Vanessa against the car. "You had no right!"
Chloe placed a hand on her wrist. "Bella let go. It will be okay we'll fix it. You already lost control once you're trembling you keep this up you'll pass out." explained Chloe.
Bella shook her head. "No, I am tired of people like them treating us like shit!"
Rachel nodded placing her hand on Bella's wrist as well. "We get that baby girl but this isn't how you do it. They're not worth it."
Tears streamed down Bella's face. Maxine kneeled down next to Bella "Lightning Bolt, they're right they are not worth it we're better than them. We have powers they do not. I am above this." said Maxine.
Bella sighed as she released her powers that kept Vanessa pinned to the wall. It happened so quickly Maxine mentally kicked herself, she made a deal with herself that she'd never use her powers after they got Jefferson arrested but seeing her mother rip the head off of Gondul's only toy she had to. Rewinding time she grabbed the toy from her mother. Vanessa's eye widen when she saw that Maxine was holding Cyndaquil while Rachel and Chloe smiled. Maxine had texted Nathan that she would like to obliviate her parents memories of her since they refuse to give Chloe and Rachel a chance. He was more than happy to do it Maxine didn't ask much from him so this means that she really needed him. When they got home Bella and Rota went to their room. Chloe held onto a sleeping Gondul.
Maxine flopped onto the bed. "That was a deserter. I'm sorry guys." said Maxine.
Rachel shook her head. "It's not your fault your parents are dicks." she said.
Rachel gathering the laundry. Chloe watched as Maxine was fuming with anger. "Maxi, calm down it's over we're not by them anymore."
Maxine sighed. "I-I just wish I had the same relationship with my parents as you two do."
Rachel chuckled. "It wasn't always like that with me and Sera. Hell, I didn't even know she was my biological mother. When dad refused to let me see her I had to do my own digging it wasn't until I almost died that my other mom got sick of him and tried to get a divorce during that time he was sleeping around with a younger woman that he left Arcadia Bay without a trace which drove Rose into a deep depression before she couldn't take the pain anymore. I wish it went down a different way." said Rachel
Maxine nodded. "Y-Yeah….I just….ugh…."
Chloe kissed Maxine's forehead. "Breathe baby," said Chloe pulling Maxine into her lap.
Rachel stopped rather the laundry. "I know exactly what you need." she said as she started to give Maxine a lap dance. Maxine blushed a deep red still not use to Rachel's outward behavior on how she expresses her love for her.
Chloe laughed as she could feel Maxine feel uncomfortable. "Wallflower, you're going to need to get use to this. However, I do find it adorable the way you get all hot and bothered by this."
Maxine huffed. "Shut up Kuda!"
The three of them laughed but it was cut short when they heard glass shattering. "What the hell was that!?" asked Rachel.
Chloe got up from the bed. "I'll check it out."
Maxine and Rachel held onto her arm. "No, what if someone broke in?" asked Maxine.
Chloe smiled. "Then I am the best person to go check it out. I'm bulletproof remember. Keep the girls safe okay I'll be back."
The shorter girls nodded as they let go of Chloe's arms. Chle walked down the stairs to see a brick on the floor she picked it up to find a note on the other side of it. "I will get what's mine"- Eliot
