Possibly Maybe

Chapter 3

In class Lifen sat near the back looking up at the board. Her Teacher was going on about the history of Vale and the rest of the four kingdoms but Lifen couldn't focus, not when she was thinking about her mother's story. She hasn't really heard of Sun Wukong but from the way she talked about him, he must have been really cute for her to go out with him. He actually could possibly be her father, she has blond hair and her mother constantly tells her how much she has her father's eyes. Lifen beamed with joy, Sun had to be her father with how her mother described him. she said he was fun and very troublesome and when compared to her- she's exactly like that. Lifen has caused quite a bit of trouble for her mother whether it be school related or just some nonsense she gets into at home from messing around. And he was fun, she was fun too! it must be father/daughter type thing if she had to it too.

Great, now she couldn't wait for the ceremony! she wanted to meet Sun so bad, calling him daddy, playing games with him, and getting to know her Fanus heritage! oh she can't wait to get home.

At lunch Lifen was sitting down on the steps of her school, she usually ate outside but not because she didn't like other people- she just found it peaceful to be out here with nature, who can blame her? with the sun's warm rays, the peaceful serenity of the school's garden, the gentle breeze that carried the heavenly scent of the variety of flowers. it was absolutely perfect out here so why would she want to be stuffed into a noisy packed lunchroom with noisy bothersome kids.

"Having fun out here?"

Lifen nearly choked on her sandwich, she swallowed hard on the large morsel before looking back. Above her stood a sweet looking lady with Raven black hair with bits of red at the bottom, she wore a poofy black skirt with lots of lace that complimented the black and red bodice she wore over top a white undershirt. the lady smiled sweetly as she took a seat next to Lifen.

"Sorry for scaring you." she apologized.

"It's fine Aunt Ruby." Lifen shrugged.

"Good, now what are you doing out here?" Ruby asked.

"Oh well, I'm just eating my lunch." Lifen held up her sandwich.

Ruby arched a brow. "Out here? but we have a lunchroom for that."

"I know, but I like it out here." Lifen said plainly as she took a bite out of her sandwich.

Ruby giggled. "Ah just like you're dad-"

Ruby gasped before she quickly slapped a hand over her mouth, Lifen whipped her head to Ruby. The two stared at each other in long silence before Lifen spoke.

"You knew my dad!?" Lifen exclaimed.

"Oh noooo, I ruined the surprise." Ruby moaned.

"What surprise? come on Aunt Ruby tell me." Lifen whined.

"Yang was going to tell you who you're father was and I ruined it." Ruby said sadly.

Lifen looked confused. "She was? I thought Sun was my dad."

Ruby then snapped out of her mopey state, she raised a brow at her niece in a quizzical manner.

"Sun?... well that's- oh! oh, she's telling you in that way." Ruby sighed with relief.

"What? what way?" Lifen questioned.

Ruby flinched, quickly getting up as she put her hands behind her back. "Oh my would you look at the time, I better be going!"

Lifen watched her Aunt disappear in a blur of rose petals that were left in her wake. She was left confused and even more so then before, first her mother tells her a story about her potential father and now Ruby makes her question it by telling her this- just what's going on that she doesn't know about?

Throughout the rest of the day Lifen sat in class barely focusing on anything the teacher had said and she knew she should but she couldn't help it. Her mother had told her part of a story about her father and now Ruby says something else that contradicts that, just what was she suppose to believe? when the final bell rings Lifen packs up her stuff and heads out onto the bus. Her mind wonders over the possibilities of Sun Wukong being her dad and how her mother will be now known as Yang Wukong instead- mostly how she will be a Wukong now. Everything rode on her mother's story and how if it's actually Sun.

When the bus stopped at her house she quickly got off and sprinted to her front door. she opened the door and quickly kicked off her shoes.

"Mom! i'm home." Lifen shouted.

When her mother didn't answer Lifen got kind of anxious, she pulled off her backpack and set it aside. Ever so quietly she tiptoed away from the front door and made her way to the living room, peeking her head in and looked around. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary she simply made her way to the dining room/kitchen but again saw nothing strange. She looked up the flight of stairs and decided to try there, she quietly and slowly walked up the steps making sure she didn't make them creak. When she got to the first steps she heard some sounds, she couldn't make them out but it sounded like they were coming from her mother's room.

She tiptoed over there and pressed her ear up against the door. She heard talking-

"I'm so sorry about this, I really am." She recognized her mother's voice instantly. "It's just that I don't want to ruin the surprise for her just yet."

Lifen frowned, she was probably talking about her father.

"It's fine, you're her mother after all." Lifen's eyes widen, who was that?

"I know, but I feel so bad that I didn't tell her this sooner, maybe it would be a little easier." Yang sounded pouty.

"It'll be fine, you just need to relax. The wedding is still a few days away so you have time." Lifen pressed her ear harder against the wooden door, trying to make out the voice.

Yang sighed. "Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm just overreacting."

"No you're not, mothers always worry." The man's voice was so calm but she never heard them before so Lifen had no idea who it was.

"Heh, you always know what to say...you know, Lifen isn't going to be home in quite awhile." Her mother's voice turning sultry.

"Yang, I don't-"

"Shhh, just relax."

Lifen raised a brow as she tried to make out what they were doing in there. At first she heard kissing noises her mother usually makes when she's blowing a kiss but it sounds different. Lifen tried to listen in further but she accidently banged on the door.

"What was that?" Yang cried.

Lifen freaked out and quickly ran down the stairs, she ran towards the front door and assumed the position of acting like she took off her shoes.

"Lifen!" Yang exclaimed.

Lifen looked up at her mother and waved. "Oh hi mom."

Yang looked really shocked and quickly looked back upstairs, she then took a stance as she leaned against the wall.

"Heeeey, so what ya doing home so early?" Yang asked, looking very uncomfortable.

"I always get home at this time." Lifen answered plainly.

"Oh, riiiight...uh well, you stay down here and I'll- uh, be upstairs..." Yang instructed as she slowly walked backwards up the stairs.

"You just, play or watch tv...um don't bug me I'm doing very important uh work... yeah." Yang chuckled awkwardly before she darted back upstairs.

Lifen stood still as she heard a door slam shut, she let out a huge sigh of relief. She was afraid she'll get caught but she was thankful she was fast enough, however she was curious on who she was talking too. She knew her mom often brought back men with her when she was much younger but Yang hasn't done that in quite awhile...was that man her father?

I'll try and get these chapters out but I am still pretty busy. anyways, wondering who that man is? is it Lifen's dad? or another man? who knows, it's just a guess at this point.
