Authors Note: Wow it has been quite some time since I last updated, things have been really hectic with the move and school starting. I've been getting e-mails from you guys asking me to update so here it goes. A few more chapters and this story will be finished. So sorry to have kept you guys waiting. Please read and review.
No POV
It's been almost a week since the funeral and 2 weeks since the girls were forced to come back home. Since the Professor died noting has been the same, the girls spend every day in the house, well except Robin who leaves every morning to go to her special place and comes back every evening around 7.
While Robin is away, Bubbles spends all day in his room, wearing his favourite white lab coat and looking at an old family picture, Buttercup pretends that nothing is wrong and Blossom is trying to make things go back to "normal".
Blossom's POV
My sisters and I were sitting in our room, even Robin was there, I guess she didn't feel like being alone today, but who can blame her. The Professor was gone and all we had was each other, we had no future and no money.
I looked over from where I was sitting and I saw Bubbles wearing his coat, Buttercup looking out the window as if she expects him to come home and Robin was just sitting on the bed. We were all in our own little world.
I miss Brick so much and I wish that he was here to hold me, suddenly I heard Robin's phone ring and saw her ignore the call...again.
"Why don't you answer, he is worried about you", I heard Bubbles whisper
"Because I'm not ready to speak to him right now", Robin answered
I looked at my sisters and I felt all of their pain as well as my own because it pained me to see them in pain. I got up and walked over to Buttercup and grabbed her hand, she looked at me like she has just had her heart ripped out. I lead her to Bubbles, and then grabbed her hand. With both my sisters in hand we walked over to where Robin was sitting, we all sat on the bed in silence. Buttercup was the first to break the silence.
"Stupid drunk driver...stupid tree...why didn't he just stay home?" she asked with tears welling up in her eyes
"Its going to be ok Butters, we are a family and we are going to get through this together", I said trying to calm her down
"We are a broken family because the most important member is gone and he is never going to come back...ever", Buttercup snapped at me
I had no idea what to say to my distraught sister because she was right, our mother had left years ago and she didn't even make it to the funeral and now our father was dead, a wave of hopelessness washed over me then all of a sudden my phone started beeping. It was a message from Brick and it read,"Blossom, I know something is wrong, I can feel it in my heart. I'm sure you want to be left alone right now so I will respect that but I just want you to know that when you are ready to talk, I will be here waiting so take all the time you need. Brick"
I couldn't help but smile when I read his message because I knew that he was thinking of me and that he had not forgotten me. I quickly typed him a message that said, "Thank you. Blossom"
It was time for dinner but I had no strength to cook so we ordered in as we have been doing since we came home. We sat down at the dinner table, at our usual places and looked at our food, Robin broke the silence when she said, "Now girls you are not leaving the table until you finish your vegetables", in the same way that the Professor used to.
"Bubbles I know you want to help but if you really love something you have to set it free", Buttercup said
Bubble was next in saying, "Buttercup you stink, take a bath"
We quoted the Professor for 10 minutes and then we all started laughing at the memories that we shared because that's all we had left...memories and each other. We spent the rest of dinner talking about the Professor and how much we will all miss him.
Dinner was interrupted by the house phone ringing, I got up to answer when I heard Buttercup yell, "Tell them we don't want any"
When I got back to the table my sisters looked at me with curious eyes, all wanting to know who was on the phone.
"Well who was it and what did they want?" Robin asked
"It was Professors lawyer, he wants to see us tomorrow so that he can read the Professor's will", I told them
"Wait, when did dad get a will, and what does he have that we can inherit?" Bubbles asked
"I have no idea, but he wants us to come to his office tomorrow at 12 so he can read the will", I said.
*THE NEXT DAY*
No POV
The girls walked into a huge office and were told to wait in the waiting area by a receptionist that was on a major power trip. It took all of Buttercup's self control not to tell the lady off. They waited for 15 minutes when a young handsome man with dark brown hair and green eyes told them to follow him to the board room.
The girls sat down at the large oval desk that looked like it could fit about 12 people and waited for about 10 minutes before an elderly gentleman with thinning grey hair, wearing a black suit with a crisp white button up shirt came in and greeted them.
"Afternoon ladies, my name John Smith and I was your father's attorney", the man said
"Afternoon", the girls said in unison
"So let's begin shall we...I Professor Bradley George Utonium, being of sound mind and body hereby bequeath..." Mr. Smith started reading when Blossom interrupted him and said,
"Uhm, excuse me sir, we are not familiar with the legal jargon so can you please just tell us the important part."
"Very well then", Mr. Smith said as he continued reading the will, " As I have no debts because everything has been paid in full, I leave the house and everything in it to Blossom as she is the most responsible, the car to Buttercup and all your mothers jewellery to be divided up between Bubbles and Robin. In addition the sum of all my investments must be divided up between all my girls."
"Wait, the Professor had investments?" Blossom asked
"Yes, he did, he bought shares in many company's and over the years those shares have increased in value", Mr. Smith said
"So how much is that total amount of his investments", Buttercup asked
"Well, currently, everything is worth about 8 million", Mr. Smith answered
"So...that means that we get 2 million...EACH!" Robin asked with a shocked expression on her face
"Yes, your father wanted to make sure that each of you would be taken care of, well that concludes our business here and I am very sorry for your loss", Mr. Smith said, and with that he left the girls on their own.
The girls were left speechless because they had lost their father but gained a fortune. The girl left the law firm and went home to discuss what was next for them and their futures.
Authors Note: Well look like Blossom can stop worrying about where they were going to get money to live on because they each inherited 2 million and some other things. I didn't add a currency because I know that I have readers from all over the world so you can add your own currency. Now with all this money what are the girls going to do with it? For anyone wondering the Professor was killed in a car accident where a drunk driver forced him off the road and his car hit a tree...the tree survived but he didn't. So next chapter things get interesting so please keep reading. Please read and review.
P.S: Don't drink and drive.
