It's been another few days that pass by, Julie and Redbrickeach took turns caring for her mother whom she still had no idea that she was her mother.
Redbrick was visiting her until his daughter returned from her mission in Russia. They both enjoyed the little moments they got to spend together after so many years apart. "Marina my love, I got you some hot tea, just the way you like it" He was like her loyal server until she was well again.
"I just want you to know that I've got everything set up and ready for you when you're ready to come home" He tells her. She smiled sipping on her hot tea with honey.
"It's going to be so wonderful having you back. I'll no longer have to sleep alone at night." Marina chuckle knowing how her husband always was with her.
Redbrick started to frown a little bit and she noticed. "You know for 20 long years I would always hope and wonder if you would ever return to me. I was so scared of the thought of never seeing you again, of you never watching our daughter start to grow and be happy. I thought that when you're sister came to me that day I thought you were really..." he gets a little choked up on his words. "I thought you were really taken away from me." He starts to get a little tears in his eyes. The last 2 decades were really hard on him.
Marina sets down her cup and pulled her husband closer to him for a hug. If she could she would talk and comfort his worried thoughts.
Redbrick pulls himself together wiping his face. "I'm sorry. I just haven't been this happy in a long time." He confessed. She smiled and pulled him in for a kiss, just like she used to do when they were teens.
"You always did know how to shut me up" he teased trying to be Witty with her and she rolled her eyes.
"But...you know there's still a matter of Juliet. Marina I think it's time we finally told her the truth about you" Marina gers those huge shocked eyes and starts to shake her head no.
"Come on she has a right to know this. She thinks you're dead and now she just thinks of you as that women she saved from her pyscho Aunt. You have to tell her soon"
Marina nods understanding but she wanted just a little more time before she came clean. This was their daughter afterall. She gestures to him to not say anything to Juliet until she was ready to say.
"Alright, I won't say anything yet. But you can't hide it forever" he said being serious. But she knew that and was looking forward to the day when she finally would come clean.
The following day Juliet was heading inside the HQ. Marina was enjoying the nice little TV that was in her room when she heard her daughter walk in "No Dad I get it, as soon as I'm done here I'll come over and check on you. You just rest until your headache goes away. I love you too"
"How are you going today Miranda?" She asks. She just shrugged her shoulder meaning 'ok'
"I'm sorry I can't stay long my father needs me but the doctor called and said that you were significantly getting better" that brought a smile to her face.
Her video phone started ringing and she goes to answer it. "Hey Thor what's up?
"Juliet. Nick wanted to know if you were going to fax him over those reports from your mission yesterday"
"Yes I was just about too" she pulled the papers from her file and sends them over to him.
"Thanks. I'll get these to him.
"Thor have you by any chance talked to Mickey?" She asked hopefully.
Thor gives his nonchalant look "Not lately but I'll keep you posted"
"Oh alright then bye" She signs off sighing. Marina looks over seeing how upset her daughter looked.
"Sorry Miranda. I've just been worried about one of my teammates. She's been with this guy' for a while and I'm just concerned that he's not treating her the way he should" Juliet sits down on the side of the bed.
Marina gestures to the necklace on her daughters neck. "What you like my necklace?" She nods
"Yeah Mickey gave this to me on our first anniversary of being BFFs" Marina sees on the back there was a picture of the two of them and Juliet remembers all the times they had together busting baddies or just goofing off.
"You're right as long as I have faith in her she'll be fine, even if she's with that devil horned sociopath" They both giggle.
"You want to know something for as Long as I can remember well I've always thought of my girlfriend as like a mother figures. My mom died at such a young age I don't remember much of her." She frowned and it made her mom frown too. "I care about my friend so much I just don't want anything to happen to them that I lose them. Like I did with her"
Hearing that was more than she could bare. The charade has been going on long enough,it was time to face the music. Marina opens her mouth to speak. "Ju... Juliet. *she finally speaks in scratchy voice but at least spoke after days and weeks of recovering, she was getting her voice and body control back slowly but was coming at last*
Juliet looks at her shocked. "You...you talked!" That was the first time she heard her speak. "You can talk!"
"Hello...Juliet" she spoke a bit more clear that time.
"Oh this is great you're talking now. Can you say anything more?"
She tried and wanted but her voice was still too weak to properly hold long dialogue for too long. Juliet could see that too. "No no its okay, that was good. We can just go ahead bit everyday until your vocal cords get used to it again"
Juliet was very patient with her for days. With afew hourly voice excersises Marina was starting to get her voice back in full, much to both of their delights.
"So Miranda you think you're ready to give it another try?"
She drink some more of her special tea to loosen her throat up and starts to speak again.
"Yes. There is so much... I need to tell u... Juliet *tries to speak now full sentences with that scratchy voice but was glad she could say something*
"Oh yes! Please whatever you have to say I'll listen. I want to know everything" Juliet was so excited to finally know about this girl.
"First off, my name... Really is... Marina *says smiling and Juliet knew that name*
"Marina!" That voice shocked her because it reminds her of her mom. "That's my...mother's name"
*Marina smiles and touches her daughter's cheek sweetly and motherly* don't u recognize me, sweet pea? *starts singing her softly scratching but sweet a soft lullaby from when Juliet was a small child and she remembers it and knows it perfectly since she sings it to her own children. Now she knew*
"M-Mo...Mother!" She was stammering over words like she'd forgotten how to speak too
My sweet Little tulip *says her nickname from child as tears came out both their eyes until Juliet didn't hold back anymore to jump and hug her mother so tight and wide that's something she dreamed of having her back for years*
"Oh mom! I can't believe it's really you!" She holds her tighter.
"But it is me my precious rosebud! For reals" Marina brushed her soft brunette locks.
"But..but Dad told me that you were...I thought you were really"
"I almost was but you saved me, you saved my life. It was all you!"
Mom, I have so many questions! So many! How are u alive?! Where were u all this time?! What happened after I was 8?! And why were u in that cobra's house?! Why did she had u imprisioned and drugged to almost kill me?! Please tell me everything and I will make justice for u! *holds on to her as Marina's warm yet warm arms around around her little girl*
"I know you have questions now my love and you'll get your answers soon but first, I must speak with your father this involves him toom"
But tell me this, does Dad know it's u? Have to told him?
"Of course he knew honey. After 20 years you think he wouldn't recognize his own wife?"
"Why didn't he tell me sooner? Why? Something as important this that's been haunting me for years that I thought I lost u forever
"Honey I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you but surely he must have said something about it to you.
"But he hid this from me. Did he know that u were alive all this time too and lied to me?
"I can't say for sure honey. Monica had me locked away for so long. I'm not sure what terrible lies she told your father
And why did she had u locked up? Whatever reasons is that prostitude had to lock u up? Is she a arch enemy u once fought and had u locked up for 20 years?
Marina shakes her head. "Darling I really don't want to answer those until I see your father. I have to see him and we'll explain every detail if the last 20 years. Please get your father"
I will because he has a lot to explain to me as well *she was angry with him but kept her cool and dials down her father to come*
Once Redbrick got the call from Juliet he rushed right over. While they waited Juliet and Marina were having a little girl talk.
"When you were a baby you used to love dance around whereever you were. You even made up the cutest song that your daddy just love hearing
*Juliet cuddled to her mother like she was a little girl as Marina stroke her long brown hair* I remembered that he used to be very calm and less controlive with everybody and everything but now he can be who he was now with u around, mom
"Marina kissed her daughters forehead. I feel so mad at myself for missing the last 20 years of your life."
It's not ur fault, mom. But if I could turn it back for a second and prevent all of this that happened to u, I would so I could have been with u and learn how to be an incredible mother like u
She held her cheeks. "From what I can tell you are an incredible mother just like I knew you would be
Wait until u meet all of them. Sometimes it's a nightmare with 10 kids and with just 1 bathroom they all share but I love them all so much. And I know they will love u too when they meet u and u will like Gnomeo too after u meet him too
"Yes! I believe your dad mentioned him while he was watching me. From what he said I'm guess they don't exactly get along dothey?"
No, it's a long story but the main reason is because Gnomeo is bad and I'm good but he loves me and the kids. I like to call him that his good bad with me and them only
"Well I'm sure I'll love them too. I have so much catching up to do around here!" There was a knock on the door.
"Hello Juliet!"
"It's Dad!" She huffs going to answer the door.
"Be nice honey your father had good intentions
I will try, i'll be right back, mom *kisses her cheek sweetly for the first time in 20 years and Marina burst with happiness and kissesher back, hugging her tight, never wanting to let her go never EVER again*
She gets up walking to the door. As soon as she saw her father her smile turned to a straight line with a blank facial expression.
"Hi Dad!"
"I got your call Darling why you want me to comr? Is something wrong?
Dad, I will be straight wih u. why didn't u tell me about my mom? *DUN DUN DUUUNN!*
His eyes got bigger and he swallowed some spit. "Your mother?! What made you bring her up darling?"
That woman in there is my mother. and u knw all this time and never told me?! U never told me, u hid something like this agan from me? u lied AGAIN to me!
Redbrick takes in a deep breath. "Juliet listen to me..." She steps back.
"Why would you lie to me about something as important to me as this. My own mother! The one I've been without for 20 years and now you're telling me that this was her the while time. HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL ME!"
Juliet please listen to me. I was wrong in nottelling u but u need to understand that this is something much more complicated tht u think because we didn't want to put u in daner...
"Is that all? Dad I face danger every day of my life. That was no excuse for you to lie to me about this!"
Do not raise ur voice at me, Juliet. I am ur fther and I demand respect and for u to be qiet and listen to me *shows off his demanding tone and attitude again which se cant stand*
"Why should I? So you can tell me more lies!" She snapped. From the back room Marina could hear them arguing.
"Oh no! I have to get them to calm down
Listen to me Juliet, I don't care if ur a woman now, but I am ur father and u do whatever I say and I say right now is for u to stop being such a spoiled brat and listen to me
No! I don't wanna hear it Dad! No more lied! In fact I don't want to see you right now or ever again" She stormed out of the place furios
*Marina tried so much to get up from her wheelchair but she had little strength and couldn't* Wait? Juliet! *calls out to her in scratchy voice but it was too late, Juliet already stormed out*
"Juliet!" Redbrick called until he noticed Marina in her wheelchair in the back room Marina, love! *helps her calm down and carries her to the bed to lay her down to rest*
Marina takes this time to thump him. "Thanks to you our daughter stormed off before I could tell her the truth
It wasn't my fault, she didn't let me speak but I will go find her later and talk to her but right now, there's something I have to tell u
Marina looks into her husband's eyes and she knew what he was gonna say. "I think I know what you're going to say"
Juliet hadn't talked or seen either of her parents all the rest of that day. Her family was just sitting down to dinner
Mom? Mom? *her oldest son calls to her*
Hhmm? Yeah darling?
"Darling are u Okay you feel kinda distracted?"
Just some things on mi mind. I'm sorry, I need some air, I need to be excused, sorry. Dessert is in the fridge, kids *gets up leaving her cold plate and goes up to the room but climbs out the window to get some air and clear her head on the roof looking up at the starry sky, lost in her thoughts*
The more she thought about it the more she thinks she might have been hard on her parents, but she couldn't just keep letting her Dad lie to her and break her heart all the time
*she spends almost an hour out here until her husband comes out and sits by her side* stars are really out tonight huh? But kinda cold out here *puts a blanket over her shoulders and she smiles knowing that he was always thinking of her and caring for her and the kids*
"Is there something you want to talk about? You only come up here and stay when you're upset or something big has happened. So you want to tell me what it is?
Is there anything I can hide from u? Maybe tell u that I'm not a natural brunette and that I'm not getting the implants u want *jokes and share a small laugh*
Awwwww why not? And I picked you our the nicest little Bra
*gives him a playful punch in the arm* We'll talk about that later but not right now. I can't stop thinking about somebody *says and he jokes to get the wrong idea*
"Oh really?" He asked suspiciously "And just what is it about this someone that makes you feel this way"
"It's someone I haven't seen in 20 years who I thought was lost to me forever. Turns out it was all lies and now I'm both happy and confused
Look I may have my flaws but that's no reason to think that I lied to u before about some things
J: NOT U! My mom! *bursts out* Turns out my mom has always been alive all this time and my Dad knew about it and never told me. He just keeps lying to me every time and never wants to tell me anything. I don't wanna talk to him or see him cause he will just keep lying to me like this *lowers her head upset and heartbroken*
"Oh Juliet I'm sure you're just overreacting. How can you be so sure that girls really is your mother?
"I guess but still. He's treated me like a baby my whole life and even after I've proven I can do anything he still doesn't trust me
Maybe he had a good reason and I'm not taking his side but I'm just saying that if he didn't tell u before is because there's more to this secret than u think, otherwise he would have told u a long time ago
She smirks back "Shut up!" She pushed him in the chest as they roll around and fall into a flower bush
What? U know it's true but ur the most sexiest and GOURGEOUS overprotected mother I ever laid my eyes on *grts all flirty pulling her to him*
"And you're the most devilishly handsome and baddest bad boy I know"
And don't u forget it ever *pulls her in and share a long passionate kiss in the Rose bush* wait! Wait! Ow! Ow! Thorns are hurting me *whines and got thorns stocked to places were uncomfortable*
They crawl out covered in thorn spikes. "There are thorns in my butt. Ow!"
"There's thorns in my...everywhere!"
Calm down calm Down! Let's go back in and I'll take them out relax
G: wait before u do surgery on me *even with the trobbing pain he leans down and pulls out a single red rose* A red rose for an even blushier red rose *hands it to her being all romantical*
"Oh you're so sweet!" She jumps into his arms making the thorns pick him more.
"AAAHH!"
"Sorry sorry. Let's get back inside so I can take of you!"
Can I have some hot chocolate too? *asks and whines with the pain heading upstairs*
"Of course you can but let's take care of the thorns first" She gets him to their room and spends the next hour picking thorns out of him.
"OW! OW! OUCH! AAAH! How much longer?"
Hold on, this is really deep! *pulls out and he cries louder* this is why I told u never play by my rose bushes, ur all the kids in 1 *pulls out more 1 by 1*
"That's Okay no matter what trouble I get into I know I'll have you to get me out of it. Every single time!"
Yeah I'll always save ur butt, literally *makes a joke laughing and he rolls his eyes as she picked out more with the twizzers*
G "Ow! Not good!"
J "Okay Okay just one more and it's over!" She picks it out and now he can finally relax.
"Oh thanks babe!" He smiled in relife.
"Now I just need to rub alcohol on you to preserve any infection"
Wait tell me when ur gonna... UUUUGHHHHH! That sticks like hell! *grunts and cries out until she was done*
"Be brave honey you can take a little pain. Be grateful you don't have to give birth" She Pours The Rest of it on and let's it dissolve in. "OK you're all done now!"
Can I have my hot chocolate and piece of pie now? *mumbles with face against the bed groaning in pain*
"Of course stay here and I'll be right back!" She kissed his cheek leaving.
"Honesty! Where do you think I want to go now?" He asked putting his head on his pillow until she returned.
"Oh baby!" He looks up seeing her holding his pie and hot chocolate but she was also dressed in her black laced lingerie and see through black silk robe
"Hmmm I am looking at something delicious right now!" He gestures her to come closer and she moved her hips in a rythm beat. He sits upright pulling her into his lap
What? I don't want ur dessert anymore? It's very tasty and yummy and warm just like u like it *teases with the piece of pie in front of him*
He takes a bit of it just to please her. "It is tasty but not as delicious as you are!" He throws the pie away only wanting her now"
G "Is it possible to love you even more than I already do? because I'm loving you more and more" He kisses on her cheeks and neck
J "If you love me any more I'm going to have to arrest you for too much PDA"
"We're not in public so it should be called Private Display of Affection instead *makes a funny and crawls over to her*
"Witty and handsome. You're truly one of a kind" She says wrapping around his body as they engage in love all night long.
The young couple were still in bed together asleep nude smuggled together until there was a knock on the door*
Gnomeo stirs in his sleep not wanting to wake up. "Come back later I'm sleeping!" He grabs Juliet closer to him as she shifts under his body.
The knocking continued but very desperately. Juliet opens one eye seeing her husband being lazy: could be important, go check *says to him in her sleep*
He scrunched up his face "You do it! I'm sleeping!" He turns over pulling the sheets over his head. Go! Now! *pulls the sheets from him and nudged him to go*
He loos at her angry and then just gets up to do it. "I have to do everything and she just sits on her lazy butt all day!"
"I heard that!"
"Good!" He marched downstairs. "Alright Jerk you better have a good reason for getting me out of bed this early or else I'll..." He opens the door shocked to find his Dad-in-law
"Oh it's you, What do U want? *says a bit jerky by the sleep but would have been jerky to his father in law wake too*
"I'm need to speak with my daughter!"
"What for?"
"That's my business! Family business that doesn't concern the likes of you!"
Yeah she told me about what happened and don't u think u cause her enough heartbreak already?
He glares. "Well I came to sort things out with her so if you wouldn't mind getting her for me"
She's asleep like everybody in this house and I don't think she wants to see anybody right now. And u know I respect her, she's an angel, a goody but I rather not say when we're up there *whistles the way George Lopez does*
"Yes well when she wakes up tell her I said her mother and I would really like to talk to her about something important"
She's right now asleep and not sure she wants to see u right now, sir
"I think I know my own daughter. And if you knew me, you'd tell her that I want to talk with her tonight"
"I'll think about and maybe tell her. Yeah, probably not have a nice day, LR
"And a not so good day to you either, boy!" He walks off and Gnomeo closed the door. "Ugh! Talking to him is always torture"
*Gnomeo comes back and fall on his bed to sleep again* Juliet rolls back over to him with her head on his shoulders. "Who was at the door?"
"Nobody special, just your father"
She opened her eyes and sits upright. "My Dad? What did he want?"
He said he wanted to talk u about stuff u don't know much
"He probably wants to talk about yesterday. I might have overreacted without letting him explain. I should go talk to him now" She gets up
What? Ur gonna go talk to him now? *opens an eye yawning a little.8
"Why not? I'm still mad at him but the least I do is hear him out. He is my Dad after all"
"Your gonna go out today?
"Yeah I'm sure you have plans with your friends too.
"Yeah and this is your day to take the kids out its your turn now to take them to the mall or park or whatever they want
"Oh yeah about that...Would it be possible for you to watch over the kids again today. I just have some really important things to do"
"No no no! It's your turn now and last time I took them out, they destroyed and knock down an entire building with TNT
"You say that like you haven't done that before" She smiled putting on her bra. "Please babe I'll take them out the rest of the month but you just have to watch them for me today"
Yeah but it's different when I do it *gets up walking behind I and stops her from putting on her bra and starts playing and squeezing her chest one last time*
"Ur such a goofball you know that right!" She leans back closing her eyes.
Not my fault that I have the most perfect and sexiest woman as my wife *whispers in her ear as he kept touching playing with her chest and kissing the side of my neck* u smell so good as always seriously
"Thanks but I really should be going. I have things that need to be done!"
"Oh come on baby! Just one more snuggle won't kill u *pulls her back in*
"Yeah but I just want to get my to do list out of the way already
"You're always doing stuff. Why don't u just stay and snuggle with me today. Take the day off and let me take away that stress off u, babe
"I wish I could but I'm sure my Dad really wants to talk to me and I have to check on my mom too. I have a very busy day today
"So no quick morning snuggle? *kisses down her neck to her shoulder*
Juliet holds around his neck smiling and moaning with pleasure "I guess a little bit more time alone wouldn't hurt"
"Yes your so mine *hoists her up as she holds on to his waist and neck and she carries her back to the bed*
"Just for the morning. I still have to talk to my parents"
"Forget about that for a while and have some fun u and me!
"Sure what should we do first. Monopoly? Blackjack? Or Play with the Wii for a while?"
"Haha, you know what I mean *pulls the sheets over them and have a quick romantic snuggle time together*
Juliet wakes up seeing it was early in the afternoon. Gnomeo was still asleep holding her in his arms. She pushed herself up kissing his cheek "Still perfect as always my love" She snuggled back under him but hears her phone chime. She had missed 5 calls from her mother.
"Time for action *gets up and gets dressed in her heroine outfit and cape with her weapons on her belt and before she went out she kisses her husband and her 10 children who were still sleeping, one by one and leaves a note that she'll be ok and come back and she's quickly made pancakes for them and they're in the stove*
Marina was still at HQ but she was also with her husband as well. After 20 years of separation they wanted to spend as much time together as possible
*Juliet comes down casually since it was her HQ and knocks on the door of her mother's room* "Mom are you here it's me"
"Yes! Come in darling" She walks in happy to see her mom but it quickly turned stiff when she saw her dad there too.
"Oh Hi Dad. I didn't expect to see you here"
"Hello darling um we will be right out with you in a second *says and she waits outside by the large computer lobby for them to come out*
Juliet gets a message from Thor. "Hey Thor any news on Mickey?"
"That's what I called to tell you about..." Before he says it her parents interrupt her.
"Juliet! We need to talk to you now."
"Thor I gotta call you back" She hangs up on him and joins her parents on the couch.
"So what's up? What u needed me for this morning Dad?
"first off remind your low life of husband to watch his manners
"You should know he doesn't have any, Dad but talking about my husband is not the topic here. What's really up?
"Honey we know you're probably still getting over the fact about me still being alive and I know u think your father was lying to you all this time, but he wasn't. He knew nothing about what happened to me 20 years ago
"Yes but he knew now when I rescued u, when I had no idea who u were but he did, he did now immediately recognizing u and never told me!
"Honey I wanted to tell you but I was in shock myself and I wasn't sure that you were going to believe me!"
"Don't be to hard on him, darling. We wanted to tell u ourselves and now u know, please understand *Juliet takes a deep breath and rethinks it and nods understanding*
"I guess I'm partly to blame for overreacting. But it just hurt that you didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth"
"I do trust u my girl and that's why we're here to tell u something and ask for ur help on to finally make justice for your mother
"Okay you two I've had enough of the secrets already! Just tell me what you both know
"We're taking Monica to trial and there are somethings u don't know about her yet that could be intense for u and its most of my fault she's the PSYCHO cobra and witch she is. Because she's my sister
Juliet was shocked "Y-your sister!?" Her mom nods.
"Then that means she's my...my aunt!"
*Marina nods sadly* she's my older sister and there's an entirely sad tragic painful story behind all this "What is it mom? You have to tell me everything?"
I think u should sit down *they sat her down and she starts telling her the entire story of her past with her sister until she got to the main point* and so she did all of this out of jealousy toward me because she blames me for my mother's dead when I was born, for my father living me more than her, because ur father loved and not her when we were teenagers and because she wanted to get rid off u when u were born because u look exactly like me after she locked me away where u found me and wanted to kill me in life
After hearing all this Juliet didn't know what to say or think and the emotions she was feeling were a hormonal mix of rage and anger
Juliet stood up full of rage and determination "Mom, I promise you I will see to it that cobra is brought to justice and you get the reconcile you deserve!"
"And we believe it's time to knock her off her royal majestic pedestal and lick her behind bars for all the damage she has caused
"That's my girl. My only regret is that I wants there for u like I should have been there for u for the last 20 years
*they hug so tight until Juliet realizes something horrifying* Wait, if that woman is my aunt, that means the her son are my cousins and that means that my Violet is dating...
"Oh yeah...I forgot about that little detail!"OMG! I GOTTA TELL HER NOW! She's can't be dating that boy! Now I have a perfect good reason! They're cousins!
"Well it could be worst at least she didn't sleep with him" *Awkward silence*
"Yeah I really need to call her now!?
"while u do that I'm gonna call my lawyer and see when has he set a date for the trial and if that wench got the little invitation to assist and be sued
"I just wanna get this entire nightmare done once and forever
"Don't worry Mom and Dad! There's no way she'll get out of this mess! The evidence against her is overwhelming!"
"And it will be mom I swear if it's the last thing I do. This family will have Justice!"
The delivery man makes his daily route and gets to Monica's house in record time. But unlike their usual mail he was carrying something more important this day.
"Oh for crying out loud can't I enjoy my morning latte in piece!" She screams answering the door in her robe and her hair filled with curlers.
"Mrs. Vilain"
"Yes what do you want?
"A message" she opens it up and starts reading it by when she was half way reading it, her anger passed her anger and screamed in all the anger in the word, crumbling the paper in her manicured hands* AAAAHHHH! UGH!
Ceasar runs towards her after hearing her scream. "What's the matter darling? Broken nail? Broken heels? Did you find another gray hair?"
UGH! THIS MEANS WAR! *rips the letter into tiny pieces and tosses it to the floor and stumps furious licking herself in her study while Ceaser took the ripped pieces and tried to put them like a puzzle piece to make out what it said*
Monica was on the phone yelling and screaming with her attorneys and executive lawyers. "YOU IDIOTS I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR LIVES. YOU WORK FOR ME I PAY YOU TO DO MY WORK SO JUST !"
Ceaser knocks and comes in after he slightly read the letter* Monica, what's going on? Why are u called and sued for next week?
"Ceaser I told you that Redbrick was no good. Now he's gone too far! Well if he wants to bring the legal system in I'll fight back to the bone with everything I got!"
No, I want to know why is he suing u because u must have done something because nobody sues just for a hobby!
"I don't have time to answer Ceaser I've got lawyers to call. Files to get! I've got to prepare for Redbrick downfall
No! U tell me now, Monica! What is going on?!
"Let's just say; my past has finally caught up to me and now I have to deal with the consequences
"Just tell me what's going on and I can help u
"I don't need your help. This is my business that I can handle my own way. Now if you don't mind" She pushed him out and locks the door
"Dad what's going on? What's up with Kim this time? *asks one of his oldest sons* "If I only knew. You're mom so full of herself"
"You know what? I'm gonna go find out, watch over your mother that she doesn't do anything crazy and/or dangerous. I'm going out for a few hours *takes his trench coat and wallet and keys, heading out*
"And if you happen to run into Mason tell him he still has to pay damage to my car!"
"Yes yes I will just watch over her please *heads the door to his car*
Juliet and Marina were walking around the mall to enjoy a nice mother-daughter day together. Since her mom would be returning back home soon they needed to find her some more clothes to wear
"And tell me, when's a good day to meet my grandchildren and that villainous husband of yours? That u father already told me the entire story but I want to hear it from u now
"It's a long story but I'll wait until you get to meet Gnomeo first. He hates me telling the story without him
As long as your happy, darling it's all that matters *they were both happy but what they didn't know is that the wench herself was in that mall buying a new elegant suit and shoes for the court day*
"No no no it's all wrong! I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this power suit!" She was throwing a prissy fit.
*while the dressing room attendant held up a stack of suit and clothes for her* Madam, if u don't like any of these, may I suggest that other store on the 6th floor? And there is no blood coming to my head right now
"Fine. If you don't want my services, but just remember this when your paycheck comes up short" Monica bumps into Marina and Juliet without knowing it. They large hats they were wearing covered their heads.
"Excuse you two! Watch where you're going!: she pushed them aside.
"Why don't u watch where your going, prissy? *passed thru the large crowd and Monica takes a moment to recognize that voice*
"I know that voice from somewhere!" She turned around but they were lost in the large moving crowd
Wait, stop! Stop that girl! *calls out as she run after Juliet even if she couldn't see her thru this crowd/8
Marina gasped recognizing her sisters yells. "Monica!"
"Mom?! What's wrong?" Juliet holds her mom's shoulder.
She could see Monica looking for her through the crowd but luckily Monica could barely see them.
"We gotta go now!" Marina takes her arms running into the nearest clothing store.
"But what did u see? *they both stay quiet when Monica came in looking for them* I know they came in here, I can smell fear and I always like that smell *smirks evilly as she stars looking around starting with the dressing rooms in the back*
"Stay down and don't make a sound!"
Why? What's wrong?! What's the matter?! *got worried when her mother panicked like this and they hid inside a coat rack*
"My sister, that cobra is here! She's looking for us or me!"
"What? She's really here?!" She peaks out seeing her wicked Aunt searching for them. "It is her! We gotta get out of here!"
"If I go out there she'll see me for sure!" She crouched down in fear.
Don't worry mom, I won't let her find u or take u back. I'm gonna get u out of here. We just need to be silent and quick, let's go while she's distracted *start wheeling the rack slowly but quickly to the entrance*
Monica was busting in on dressing rooms and bathroom stalls. The manager comes up to her "Excuse me miss but you can't just go bursting into dressing rooms like that! If you don't leave now I'm going to call the police"
"Shut up because I can buy and sell u, idiot so don't tell me what to do and leave me alone!
*Juliet takes out from her bracelet a little audio gadget and throws it close to Monica which was to make her believe they were running away from her and actually heard their voices out the store*
"I have u now, u little worms! *chases after "them"*, giving the girls a chance to escape without behind seen*
Juliet peaks out of the rack seeing Monica fighting with the manager. "Quit mom while she's distracted" They both make a break for it, unseen.
"We have to get you somewhere safe. You can hide in my house!"
"Smart thinking sweetheart! I'm impressed"
"Thank me later mom! We can't waste anymore time here!" They ran straight for the exit and out of the mall
"Anywhere but here is safe. I'll take it!" They get into her car and push the pedal to the metal. Monica on the other hand was busy still wrecking the store searching for her sister and bratty niece.
"When I find you Marina I'm going to kill you with my bare hands & make your bratty daughter wish she was never born!"
"I'm taking u back home with me, if she almost found us, it's best she never does *run to the parking lot to her car*
"I'm so glad to be with you again darling! Another day trapped with Monica and who knows what she would have done!"
I promise u that she won't get near u anymore not as long as I'm alive, mom. Dad won't allow it either. And I hope u don't mind behind home with the kids at day
*soon they made it to the house as the son was starting to come down* huh, sun is coming down so means that Gnomeo is about to go out for "work" and maybe with my baddy kids too *says coming out the car*
"If we hurry maybe I can get a quick peak at them before they go!" They walk up to the front door but Juliet goes in first.
"I'm home!" She announced
"Get ready for the Avalanche *says to her and it was true*
"MOM! *all 10 kids come out the house and pop out of nowhere and run like horses to their mother as she received them all with open arms like all the time, kissing and hugging them like crazy*
"Oh how are all my babies!" She kissed them one by one.
"Mommy I got bitten by a squirrel today?" Bruno pulls down his sleeve to show the bite mark.
"Why?"
"Because I threw rocks at it!"
Marina laughed in secret as Juliet rolled her eyes "No animal abusive!
"Mom, I ate a bug today!" Juno said.
"Oh is ur Dad cooking again? Don't tell him I said that *chuckled kissing them all* oh times like this I wish I had longer or more arms to hug and cuddle all my babies!
Marina was standing in the doorway smiling. Her grandchildren looked so happy and full of energy.
"Who's she mommy?" Kelly was the first to notice her long-lost grandmother. She jumped from her mom's arms looking.
"You look just like my mommy, are you a robot?"
*Marina chuckles by how adorable she is and precious* No, sweetheart, I'm somebody very close to ur mummy and who she will tell u but I can tell u that I'm very nice and I love children especially ones are precious are u
A wide smile appeared on her face "I like you!" She grabs her legs tightly.
"So kids Where's your father?"
Suddenly Gnomeo appeared literally out of thin air "Boo!"
"AAHH! I hate when u do that *zaps him in the arm that he ignored it quick by pulling. Her into his arms*
He shrugged "Hey you gotta do what you gotta do" He dips her into a kiss.
"GROSS!" All the kids look away.
Kelly pulled on her grandmother shirt "They do this all the time!" She whispers to Marina who just smiles watching.
When they finally stopped only then did Gnomeo notice her "Who's your friends Juliet?"
"Uuumh she's somebody very close to me and I like u all to treat her nicely, I'm looking at u, my baddies *they hide their pranks stuff behind bushes and their backs* lets all go eat dinner
Violet was the first one up "Finally I'm starving!" They all go to the table and eat. Juliet lets Marina sit next to her.
Gnomeo noticed that his seat was taken by her "Uh that's my chair!"
Juliet stabs him with a fork."Gnomeo! Where are your manners?!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Sorry u may take it for tonight *says with manners when Jules gave him a glare*
"Sorry he really knows better than to be rude to guests!" She glares at him more.
"It's fine honey and may I say Gnomeo you are quite a handsome man"
"Thank you and what is ur name, Madame? And how do u know my wife?"
Marina looks at Juliet who mods with a smile saying to tell them the truth. "Well I've been with Juliet since before she was born. I took great care of her until she was eight and then I had to...go away for a while. But I'm glad to see my little Tulip is doing so well now"
"So you were her nanny then?" He guessed taking a gulp of his veer mug.
"Actually...I'm her mother!"
*they all go silent and look toward Juliet and Marina, especially Gnomeo looking at his wife not seeing that he has now a mother in law* G: Ur... Ur... Juliet's mother?
Marina nods her head blushing. "I am!"
"Then that means...I have a mother-in-law?"
"And we have another Grandmother?!"
"Yes that's right! *she smiles and in a none Avalanche way, all the kids get up from their seats and go over to meet formally and hug their new grandmother*
"I don't believe it! Is this a good thing...I mean of course it's good for you but..."
"It's better than good! It's the bestest thing in the whole world! I have two grandma's now!"
"Twice the presents on holidays and more money on birthdays...speaking of which you owe me 17 years worth of mullah"
"JR! *snap mumbles at him glaring but Marina laughs by how all of them we're adorable, the good and bad*
"No, no, when I finally get well, we have a lot of time to catch up with all of u, including u my girl *looks up at her child as Juliet smiled back*
"You will stay in one of the guest rooms, mom and all of u go finish ur dinners to then have dessert soon
They all go back to finishing up dinner and cleaning up the kitchen afterwards. After that Marina got to sit down and get to know about all her grandchildren one by one and of course Gnomeo too
*soon Juliet's phone started ringing and it was her father* Yeah Dad? What's up?
Juliet, where are u? Please tell me that ur mother is with u? Because I'm here at HQ and she's not in her room
Juliet rolls her eyes "Relax Daddy she's with me. We're at my house"
"Oh in that case I'll be there in 30 minutes!" He hangs up.
"Your father was looking for me wasn't he?"Marina asked knowing he was. Juliet nods.
"Yeah he'll be here soon"
"Oh perfect, that's just what I need"
Why can't u get along with my Dad? Not even just this once?
"Because he doesn't and never will like me, babe. It's that simple *says and she rolls her eyes*
"You can't blame him darling. Redbrick is a challenge to get along with, so stubborn and reckless. But hey like father like daughter right Juliet!" She nudges her.
"You said it Marina!" They both laugh at her
"ok ok I think it's time for my good kids to go to bed and my bad kids to hug me bye, and I want all 5 of them back safe and sound and not one scratch as always, Gnomeo. And none of them in jail and neither u ok?
"Ugh! You take all the joy out of being evil!" He leans down kissing her lips. "I'll see you first thing in the morning" He whispers in her ears.
"I'll be waiting *whispers back in same tone* ok, my baddies give me a kiss and hug, have fun as always, and please don't get arrested cause I don't wanna see any of u in juvy
"Eh, we'd just break out of there if we do get caught!" They all hug her goodbye for the night.
"Come on kids were burning moonlight. See you all tommorow and nice meeting you Marina" He kissed her hand.
M: have fun all of u *smiles friendly as they all head out* I gotta admit, for a villain, he's quite a gentleman and they're all sweet children, all 10 of them. I'm very proud of u, my girl *hugs her tight and kisses her forehead*
"It sometimes feels like I'm raising a circus!" They both get a laugh out of that.
"Mommy can you come sing to me!"
"US too!" The rest of them said.
Of course, sweetie *the 2 worms go along with the other kids to have some little fun for a couple of hours until the middle and youngest kids broke down and fell asleep, the only one that was still awake was Autumn that was getting fed before going to sleep*
"She looks so much like you darling" Marina smiled watching her youngest grandchild get fed. Autnm let's out a big burp and then drinks more.
"And she eats just like Gnomeo" They laugh until tgey hear a knock.
"There's Dad!" She passed Autumn to Marina and goes to answer the door.
*Juliet opens the door expecting to find her father there but instead she finds Ceaser that was surprising but better than finding his poor excuse of wife*
Me. Ceaser, what are u doing here?
C: don't worry I'm alone and I need to speak with ur father, please. Is he here? "Uh no its just me and my...children. But my Dad will be here in a while if you want to come in" He nods and walks into the kitchen. "Help yourself to some refreshments I'll be right back!"
She runs upstairs and finds her mother still with Autumn. "Juliet darling..."
"Mom be quiet! He can't hear you!"
"He? He who?"
"Ceaser"
Ceaser? U mean Monica's husband? *she knew him from when they were teenagers and knows he's a good man*
"Yes! Luckily I don't think that cobra is with him, but he could be in league with her and I won't risk them finding you!"
Maybe I should go talk to him, he's trustworthy and once he hears the entire story, he can help us. He's a good man and knows the right thing to do *says but Juliet wasn't so sure*
"Mom I don't think that's smart. What if Monica sent him to find you? We can't trust him
"Darling I know Ceaser and he's always been there for me when I needed him in the past. I know I can still trust him
Monica can be whatever she is and try to manipulate him but he never falls for her tricks, he always knows something is up. He's a very good man and trustworthy
"Mom he's still her husband. U think he's going go against his wife even after hearing the truth? *Marina looks peaks by the wall and sees her long friend, takes a deep breath by how this is gonna be a big risk but she's gonna take it* Ceaser? *comes out a bit nervous*
He looks at her. "Yes do I know you?"
"Quite well, you've known me since we were teenagers "
"I'm sorry, Madame but I don't think we have the pleasure...
"Ceaser you do remember me, we used to be the best of friends and I seem to recall that you used to want to be more than friends" She smiled holding his arm.
*he gets still confused and looks at her a little more until he slightly recognizes her* Marina?!
She smiled "I'm so glad you remember me!" He stands up hugging her back.
"I can't believe it's really you!"
It's been so long, Ceaser! 20 long years! It's so good to see u again! *hugs him back*
"Where have you been?! Forgive me but I thought you were...We're
"Dead!" She says for him.
"I wasn't really dead but I sure felt like I was. 20 years of being imprisioned like a concentration camp. If it wasn't for my daughter I might not be here!"
U need to tell me the entire story. Please tell me everything, where have u been all this time? And why imprisioned by who?
Ceaser if I tell you the truth you have to promise me not to tell another breathing sole
I promise. But please tell me I want to help u as I can. I'm right here for u
OK I'll tell you but what you hear might be a little hard on your behalf" That's when she began to tell him every rotten detail of the last 20 years and how his own wife was responsible for all their grief and suffering *he was shocked and paralyzed by everything hearing that his wife was responsible for all this* So my wife, the woman I have been married for years and had 3 sons with, is a complete monster
I'm afraid so. She's been lying to you and my husband for the last 2 decades. Keeping me hostage in ur own home like a vegetable and now she's hunting me down to pin my head on the wall
In my own home! & and I never noticed... HOW COULD I NEVER SEEN THIS?! *gets up upset with himself feeling guilty* if I knew u were imprisioned in my own house, I would have helped u years ago?! Monica has been giving me the idiot role for years! Doing crimes behind my back and I'm such a idiot for not seeing this before!
It's not your fault, she's good at covering her own tracks. But her real problem is with me, she's just so blinded by her hate and jealousy that it's turned her against her own family.
I feel such an idiot! She always manipulated me as she wanted and I always fell for her lies and her tricks like an idiot! And I had 3 sons with that monster!
"It's okay! You didn't know, no one knew the truth!"
"Well I know now and I'm going to help you in any way I can" Marina smiled after all these years he was still her loyal friend.
"I really appreciate that Ceaser"*he takes her hands and kisses hem softly showing something a little more than friendship*
"But what are you going to do about Monica now?"
She already received an inform to go to court and be sued and we're all gonna show that she's guilty and go to jail for her crimes
"Oh Ceaser thank you so much! I can't tell you what this will mean to me. To finally be free of my sister forever and live with my family in peace. How can I ever thank you?"
I just wish i could have done more for u if i knew *smiles kindly* so u wouldnt have gone to ur family and get those 20 years my horrible wife took away from u almost killing u
"It's okay Ceaser. This is all Monica's doing and with your help I know we can make up for all the wrong she's done
U know, I have to confess to u something. I admit that when we were teenagers, I may have had a massive huge crush on u back then even when u were with Redbrick *blushes embarrassed a little*
Marina smiled. "Yeah I knew you did. And if I didn't love Redbrick you would have definitely been my next choice" She kissed his cheek
*he smiles and for being a gentleman and out of loyalty to his friend, he didn't do much than kissing her hand* well, I guess I should be going now. I hope u recover fully and find the happiness u deserve more than anything
"And I hope you find the very same. And a word of advice I'd file for divorce ASAP!"
Yes ur right, I will right away and it's a shame ur already taken *smiles confessing everything like he never did when they were teens*
"Don't worry a handsome rich man like you will get any girl trust me" She smiled watching him go
But no woman will never be compared to u. But what friend would I be if I stole the wife of a very good friend and man? So don't worry, we will just be very good friends
She stands up hugging him. "You're still a true and loyal friend. Thank you Ceaser!"
"Anything for you Marina!" He said letting her go. "And a good night to you Juliet!" He kissed her hand as well making his exit
*Juliet noticed the sparkle in Ceaser's eyes and liked but didn't like that at the same time* He likes u, doesn't he?
Marina nods. "It's okay honey we're just friends.
"Yeah but I can tell it from how he looks at u. He likes u a lot still, he may love u, I'm just saying and I know he's a nice man, so I feel very bad for him that he's married to that dried up prune for all these years
"I know but it's easy to fall for a pretty face and Monica does has a way of manipulating people
"At least he recognizes it now and after he divorced her, he will find a better woman because he deserves it
Marina nods. She just couldn't wait for the trial day so they could finally put Monica away and Marina would no longer have to live in fear.
And that's it for now. I'm going to go get some cake it's also my great grandmother birthday too so happy birthday to her and once again you Mickey Until next time
Jazzy xoxo
