Paranormally in Love (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 8: The Surprise

Alastor woke up early and made cheesy omelets for everyone. He already knew what they all liked in it, so he didn't ask. Once everyone was up and ready and seated they all gawked that not only he made huge omelets but had their favorite side dishes with it.

Charlie practically had stars in her eyes. But Vaggie thought it was suspicious.

“What’s with that look my dear?” Alastor asked Vaggie as he hummed happily.

“What’s going on, Radio Demon?” Vaggie shot back. “I know you’re hiding something.”

“Patience, Vaggitha, patience.” Alastor replied simply. Vaggie looked dumbstruck. Alastor NEVER called her by her first name. Unless he was either messing with her because she irritated him, or something big was going to happen.

They all ate in silence, some more uncomfortable than the happy couple. And once everything was done, Alastor, without a thought, poofed the dishes into the sink. His smile was more eager. Which had everyone on edge. After that he promptly requested that all the spirits meet downstairs to share some good news.

“Ok. Seriously. What the He- heck is going on? Alastor is being creepier than usual.” Angel tried asking Janette.

Janette giggled. "You just have to wait and see~ All you have to know for now is that I'm involved~" she laughed at his sulky pout.

He reluctantly slunk to the living room where everyone else was gathering, much to many spirits unease. On the other hand, someone tapped on Janette’s shoulder. When she turned around, she found it was Anna.

"Anna!!! You made it! I'm so proud of you! I wouldn't want you to miss this for the world!" She hugged her tightly and then pointed to where Selene was with a happy smile.

“I’m so glad to finally be free! It’s all thanks to you, Jane, thank you!” She followed to where Janette was pointing. “I’ll go get her so we can hear what you have to say… together..” Her eyes brimmed with tears as she went to finally see her baby girl after all these years.

“She was so happy, she didn’t even know I was here.” Alastor commented. “Are we inviting Theresa and Juniper as well?”

"Not now. They texted me that they had their hands full helping Valroy on a project. I'll invite them over later today when they're not busy. We might go out to meet the rest of my friends to celebrate. Hope you don't mind? And do you want to come?" She asked curiously.

“I don’t mind at all! And I’ll come if you like me too. I know some people like to get away from the chaos on occasion and I’m the manifestation of much of that.” He chuckled light heartedly.

She giggled. Then she leaned into him and whispered, "You proved that a few nights ago~ I kinda like it~." She kissed his cheek.

He chuckled again. “I’d love to show you more, sometime~” He purred. He looked to the living room. “Shall we get this show on the road then? Everyone is waiting~!”

She giggled and playfully swatted him in the chest. "Yes. Let's do this." She intertwined her fingers with his and walked to the living room. The separation of the factions was evident.

"For those who don't know me, I'm the new caretaker of the mansion. My Aunt Elenore gave it to me in her will. And, yes, I can see and hear you as well. I'm a physical medium. My name is Janette Daweson. Granddaughter of Maria Daweson. It's nice to finally meet you. And don't worry about the others in the room, they won't hurt you. I'll make sure no one is hurt during this gathering." Janette announced.
