The Vixen & the Fox II

Chapter 334

2020 passed in a massive, What the Fuck; if there ever was one to be had. All the historical events to happen in the span of the year made it almost offensive to exist.

Bonnie hated it, but she had her boys; all her men, and it was bearable for her. Initially she had spent a lot of time talking things over with Jo about having a Siphoner child, but soon she felt she was safe to make her own assessments of her sons. They weren't monsters, though Jo stressed concerns for mental illnesses and screens to be had, genetic and otherwise. Bonnie had hummed in partial agreement.

With the plague; sorry, COVID; happening Jo and Keelin were Essential Workers so Bonnie ended up partially taking in Jo's twin girls. Josie and Lizzie were delightful; though Bonnie did see Jo's worries for Lizzie and her obvious attitude problems, Bonnie's worries though were more on Josie. Josie was a manipulative little shit at times, and it Bonnie didn't know how to broach the topic as a whole with Jo. The only reason Bonnie had caught onto Josie's manipulations was because the nursery was set on fire, and Lizzie's magic outburst had been happening with Kai and Kaleb in the room next door. Bonnie had woken up from her nap and panicked as she rushed into the fiery nursery, snatching up her boys and Josie only for Josie to promptly declare Lizzie had set the fire, and Lizzie burst into hysterics and tears apologizing for her outburst.

Since then, Bonnie, Kai, and Kaleb all kept particularly close eyes on Josie when she was in the house. Lizzie's obvious behavioral problems made Josie's subvert problems easy to miss, but Bonnie kept a closer eye on Josie than Lizzie.

Radzim's first word was 'Tractor', he bypassed mama and dada and straight for his favorite piece of farm equipment. He would bellow it out giddily as he waddled around waving his favorite toy; a dog's squeaky toy, a pink stuffed elephant.

Rameses' first word was a bit more traditional, 'papa'; and he said it to Kai while crawling for Kai after Bonnie had spent most of her day trying to bribe her boys to say 'mama'. Yeah, that didn't happen. Rameses had giggled in delight bellowing it after Kai had fainted dead away in his bloody clothes and everything.

Bonnie's summer was mostly spent talking to her dad who was losing the house because of foreclosure notices. She had been reluctant to agree to him moving to the Plantation, having sited it was a vampire and werewolf home ground, and humans were not welcomed if they were going to be prejudicial jackasses. Her dad understood and despite prejudices he did want to meet his grandsons. Next was Bonnie explaining she was dating, and practically married to both Kaleb and Kai and if Rudy could not accept that she didn't want him around, because Kaleb and Kai had protected and saved her when Rudy had almost encouraged her to remain with Shane. Or worse she would still be doing Expression and that would mean she'd have died.

Rudy didn't understand, but by June he accepted he wouldn't be getting a say on her love life, but accepted moving down to Louisiana.

Kol had transferred the deed to the abandoned house in Mystic Falls where her ancestors resided to her then, and he also told her he could hire a crew to fix the old mansion up so it could be livable again. She said she'd think about it, rebuilding and restoring the old house was appealing so she could take her family to her hometown and some of their ancestral homes. She also knew if she restored it, she could ship Rudy back to Mystic Falls so he could stay out of Louisiana if he was too much for her.

June was a big month in the Plantation, Rebekah had her fourth child, a darling little boy who seemed to ignite a baby fever in Bonnie. Armel Víðarr Gerard was born June 17th and Bonnie wanted another baby looking at the adorable little ball of cuteness. He had chubby cheeks, blonde curls, big blue eyes, and so cute, she wanted to just never let him go. Rebekah and Marcel made really cute sons and she loved the babies, they smelled so good, and it was fun.
