I have been lacking some on inspiration lately and I have been swamped with school work, but I am currently on Spring Break. And to make it even better, I am vacationing in New Orleans! I am typing this sitting on our balcony and that seems to be all I needed to get the inspiration flowing again. Maybe after seeing the real "Miss Robichaux's Academy" I will have even more to write about. Until next time, I hope you enjoy this update!

Cordelia and Misty slowly made their way through the park, stopping every so often for Olivia to pick up a flower or a random leaf which she promptly gave to her mother to hold for her. Misty had a permanent grin on her face as she watched the mother and daughter. Their relationship seemed so easy going, but she knew what they had really been through. The thought still grated on Misty's nerves but she would have to learn to let it go. He was gone and Cordelia and Olivia were okay. Misty looked down between herself and Cordelia and realized now that Olivia wasn't holding both of their hands the space seemed empty. She glanced up to Cordelia then back to their hands before deciding to take a risk. She reached out and grabbed Cordelia's hand, interlacing their fingers, and promptly looked away from the other woman. She didn't need for Cordelia to know that she put some thought into the action. When she didn't retract her hand, Misty risked another glance at the woman. What she saw melted her heart just a little bit more. Cordelia was looking down with a small smile on her face. Misty knew in that moment that she had made the right decision. She was interrupted from these thoughts when they came to a sudden stop. The had finally found the vendor they were looking for and it was time to eat.

Olivia rejoined them and looked to her mother, "Can I get whatever I want?," she asked hopefully. Cordelia looked over the menu before replying, "Yes, but within reason please". Her daughter huffed before looking back over the menu. She was quietly mouthing each of the items to herself, making sure she could pronounce what she wanted before she stood on her toes to order from the man behind the counter. Misty wrinkled up her nose and looked at Cordelia, "She is just so stinkin' cute! And she's way smarted than I was at that age. I don't think I could read that well, let alone order for myself". Cordelia looked from Misty to her daughter, "She's always been so independent and she learned to read quickly. I don't really know what prompted it, but one day she just sat down and started to go through some of the books we have at the academy. She asked me to teach her how to read them and I did. A few days later I found her reading on her own in her room. Now I can't get her to stop reading and I couldn't be happier," Cordelia added with a laugh. Cordelia stepped up to the counter, dragging Misty behind her with their still joined hands and placed her order. Misty was too busy thinking over what the woman had just said to realize that the attention was now on her. "Oh," she said, "I'll just have whatever she is having". Cordelia insisted on paying since Misty paid last time and the two collect Olivia and picked a table near by to wait for their food. As they were walking, Misty leaned over to Cordelia and whispered, "So...what did I just order?"

Cordelia laughed so hard that she let out a small snort. She looked absolutely mortified and quickly said, "I am so sorry! I don't know why I thought that was so funny. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, so I guess you're getting the same". Misty just nudged the woman with her shoulder, "Don't apologize, I thought it was kinda cute," she added with a wink. Cordelia just blushed in response before taking a seat at the table they had come to. Misty took a seat next to the woman, realizing that they were still holding hands. Misty would be damned if she brought it up, they could hold hands forever and she would be totally cool with it. Olivia hesitated on taking a seat, opting to ask her mother, "Can I go right over there and continue looking for flowers? I promise I wont go too far and I will only be a few minutes. I will be back before the food even gets here," she added for good measure. Cordelia agreed on the grounds that she be back in ten minutes tops. Before she could run off, Misty stopped her. "Did I tell you that I own a shop with nothin' but flowers and plants in it?," she asked. Olivia thought for a second and said, "I can't remember". "Would you like to see them sometime? You seem to like flowers an awful lot," Misty stated. Olivia's eyes got really bright, "I could do that?," she asked. "Sure, as long as it's okay with your Momma," Misty added before looking at Cordelia. "Maybe we can both come visit your shop sometime," Cordelia said before giving Misty a warm smile.

"You better go finish lookin' for your flowers before your time runs out," Misty said to Olivia, nudging her toward the intended flower scouting location. "Oh, yeah," she said before running off. Misty decided it was now or never. She didn't want to get too excited about future plans with the two blondes only for them to be shattered on the grounds that she had not been completely honest with Cordelia. Misty turned in her seat and placed their joined hands in her lap. This prompted Cordelia to look at her and take note of the seriousness that had settled onto Misty's face. "I gotta tell you somethin' Cordelia. Before this goes any further, there is somethin' that you gotta know," Misty said. Cordelia began to grow worried. What could she possibly have to say that could be this serious? Misty took a deep breath, "I know that you're a witch and before you freak out on me, I'm one too," Misty got out in a rush. Cordelia just looked back at her. She pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything. Misty was mentally preparing herself for what was about to happen and began to remove her hand from Cordelia's. Before she could complete the action, Cordelia stopped her. "Okay," she said. Misty was stunned, "That's it? That's all you got to say?". Cordelia just nodded then smiled. "It's good to know that I don't have to hide that part of my life. We would have gotten to this point eventually and I would have to tell you, so this just makes it all easier. I'm going to assume that you know what the academy really is?". Misty just nodded, still slightly dumbstruck that this was working out so perfectly. "Good," Cordelia added. "May I ask what your powers are?," Cordelia questioned. "Um, I can bring things back to life. I don't know if that has a name," Misty said. "Oh, Resurgence!," Cordelia said with excitement in her voice. Just then, their food was called and Olivia started to make her way back to the table. Cordelia hesitated, "Can we continue this later? I really want to talk with you more about this," Cordelia added. Misty just nodded as their food was set down in front of them and Olivia slid into the seat next to her.

Misty could not believe that this was actually happening. She had revealed her secret and Cordelia accepted it. She also accepted the fact that Misty knew about her and had not already told her. Could she be any more perfect?
