Chapter four
Note: As far as I know, Magical Obsession Mode is mine. So if you would like to use, please either credit me or ask. KTHANKSBYE!
Emilee's face haunted Gregory when ever he would look into his son's eyes. Miles grew to look more and more like his mother everyday. Gregory often felt like tears would fall and never stop when he looked at Miles, yet he managed to remain strong in frount of Miles. Though, he always was caught off guard by none other than, Wendy Oldbag. That woman drove Gregory crazy, but he was raised to listen to people, even though they may go on and on about one topic for five minutes, then talk about something completely different.
"Oh Mr. Edgeworth, your son is so adorable! I mean if I had a son I would want him to look like young Marty..." Mrs. Oldbag rambled one day after she cornered Gregory and Miles after a Saturday trial.
"Mrs. Oldbag... my son's name is Miles. Not Marty..." Gregory said this rather snidely. That trial was one of his most time consuming and all he wanted to do was to go home and sleep.
"What? Oh, Miles right. Yes he's starting to look more and more like you everyday. I have a feeling that he will be a handsome young man like you one day. I would love to be around him when that happens. Oh, I'm going to be so jealous of the woman he marries."
'Does this woman ever stop talking?' was the thought running through Miles' and Gregory's minds at the same time.
"So Miles, what do you want to do when you get older?" Mrs. Oldbag asked out of the blue.
Miles looked up at his father who gave him a look that said 'Answer the woman Miles...'
"Mrs. Oldbag, I want to be a great defense attorney like my father." Miles said, putting on one of his charming little smiles, just like Gregory had. This is when Mrs. Oldbag went into her Magical Obsession Mode. She almost pounced on the poor boy and hugged him to death, but Miles once again, being faster than her, maneuvered out of her way.
"It's a shame the poor boy doesn't have a mother." Mrs. Oldbag said, after she regained her scenes. "If I was only younger, I would make a wonderful mother to him. I just love young kids. Except when they become snot nosed little brats and snot nosed-know it all teenagers. But when they are Miles' age, they are adorable and don't act like they know everything, but in all truth know nothing." This earned a not-so-hidden-yet-Mrs Oldbag-didn't-see-it-because-she-was-too-busy-daydreaming glare.
This would have gone on for 10 more minutes but Gregory noticed this glare and knew about his son's temper. "We're so sorry Mrs. Oldbag. But we really must be getting home. Miles has had a long day today. So, good bye." Gregory said, once again flashing a quick smile and dashing off for his car, Miles following him. Of course Wendy Oldbag was too busy feeling important because she got two smiles from Gregory. And as she floated away, Gregory felt his sanity slowly returning to him.
And that is the fourth and my least favorite chapter... I don't know why. Except 'Magical Obsession Mode'. Well, please review!)
