The Family: A Barb Base Fanfic

3 | Bubbling

Valerie was frozen and stared at Blue and Q who were rather confused. Q then decided to break the silence.

"Uh Valerie?" he asked

Valerie then decided to speak, and tried breaking through the deadly silence.

"So they're not here right now," she said.

"Not here?? Gabe literally texted me saying he wanted to come home." said Blue confused

Cheyenne was in the living room playing with her doll when she saw her mom and went running to the door.

"Mommy!" yelled Cheyenne

Valerie began screaming in her mind, and then Blue kneeled down to be on Cheyenne's level.

"Where's Gabe at?" she asked

"In the kitchen," said Cheyenne.

She ran in and Blue looked at Valerie and then walked in and Q followed Blue. In the kitchen Gabe was napping with his head on the table and then Blue walked up to him when she saw a big empty gallon on the table.

"What's that?" asked Blue confused

"Uhhhh," said Valerie.

Blue grabbed the gallon and smelled it and then looked at Valerie.

"DID YOU GET HIM DRUNK??" screamed Blue

Valerie stayed quiet, and moved to the corner.

"Pick him up Q let's go." said Blue.

She walked out the kitchen and yelled for Amir and Xio to come downstairs. Amir and Xio came down protesting that they had to go home and were throwing a fit.

"PUT ON YOUR COAT," said Blue to Amir.

Amir put on his coat annoyed, and they all walked out and Valerie waved goodbye. Blue was very pissed off and Q put Gabe in the car. In all honesty he thought it was funny Gabe was drunk but Blue was very pissed off.

"Honey calm down he'll be okay." said Q trying to be calm

"HE'S DRUNK Q," yelled Blue.

"IT'LL BE OKAY THOUGH," yelled Q back.

Blue turned her head and Q turned on the car to drive home as they were leaving another car was pulling up and as the door opened. Down stepped a boot heel, and the lady wearing them was none other but Moni. She opened up her mirror and checked her lipstick and then started walking up the sidewalk to Valerie's house.

Inside Valerie was on her phone when she heard the knock and ran to it. She opened and smiled. It was Moni and she hugged her excited.

"Heyyyy Moni, omg I missed you." said Valerie hugging her.

"Missed you too," said Moni.

As they hugged, Blue was miles away and was still quite pissed that Gabe was drunk. He was asleep in the back seat and smelled like alcohol and Amir then broke the silence.

"Can Gabe shower when he gets home he stinks." said Amir

Amir was sitting in the third row when he snatched Xio's jacket and threw it over Gabe.

"STOP that's MY JACKET," said Xio pissed.

He hit Amir, and Amir smacked him back.

"Stop you two," said Q.

At Valerie's house she was serving tea for her and Moni to catch up on what had happened while she was gone.

"Where are the kids at??" asked Moni

"Oh, Blue showed up and took them early." said Valerie annoyed

"Why??" asked Moni confused

"She has this bitch ass kid, he's a literal nerd." said Valerie sipping her tea.

Moni laughed and picked up her cup, at Blue and Q's house. They arrived and Corey was sleeping on the dining room table when he heard the door opening and woke up and jumped off. They all came in and Q carried Gabe upstairs to sleep. Blue was annoyed and went upstairs to her room. Cheyenne ran to the playroom since it wasn't bedtime and Amir and Xio followed.

Upstairs in her room Blue sat at her vanity and was stressed out by what had happened. She decided to pull out her phone and text her best friend Zia so they could meet up tomorrow for coffee. Zia usually was the only one who understood her anyway. Q came in the room and sat on the bed and knew Blue was annoyed but he didn't really think there was much that could be done.

"I'm sorry about today sweetheart," said Q.

Blue looked at him and then he got up and went to go hold her hand.

"We still need to find a daycare for Cheyenne." said Blue annoyed.

"It's okay I can take Monday off and we can find a daycare." replied Q.

She hugged him and he put his head on hers, the next day outside the cafe. Blue was waiting at the table and Zia then arrived and Blue was excited and got up and hugged her best friend. They sat down at the table and Zia loved seeing Blue so much they had been best friends since middle school.

"How are you??" asked Zia

"I'm well a bit annoyed but you??" asked Blue

"Well I got a new cat!" said Zia

She pulled out her phone to show pictures, at the house Q was doing chores to help out around the house.

"BRING DOWN YOUR DIRTY CLOTHES." yelled Q

The kids brought down their clothes and Gabe was walking downstairs and he had the worst headache. He was hungover from yesterday and put down his clothes and went back upstairs. At Moni's House she was in her office, Moni lived in a large Edwardian mansion. She was busy looking at paperwork when her assistant Vanessa came in with a tray.

"Ah just like the old days," giggled Moni.

"I missed working for you Moni." said Vanessa

"I did too, but I'm back now until I reach my goals," laughed Moni.

She sipped her tea and looked at the photo of her family and pointed at Blue's face.

"She won't be here long." said Moni

"I'm sure you'll get your way, you're a very smart woman." laughed Vanessa.

"As soon as we're done with my sisters we can finally be rich as hell." said Moni laughing hysterically.

At the cafe, Zia and Blue were drinking coffee and were still catching up.

"Is Moni back from Europe??" asked Zia

"Sadly she arrived back yesterday I haven't spoken to her since she left and I refuse to ever again." replied Blue.

"I don't like Moni she doesn't seem to have good intentions." said Zia

"Right, I hate her so much. She's never getting near me as long as I know she's around." said Blue annoyed.

She picked up her cup and sipped her coffee. Little did she know Moni didn't plan to keep her distance for very long at all.
