Emperor's Bride to be [The Emperor's New Groove Fanfic]

Ch. 3 Why is your mother here?

A forty-two-year-old female with curly salty black hair and chocolate brown eyes named Fabiana ran through the Village looking worried. She ran towards her daughter, Chicha's home, where she lives with her son-in-law, Pacha. A young boy confronted her earlier and told her that Chicha required her assistance and that it was an emergency.

Fabiana looked at her surroundings and knocked on the door. " Mama. Are you alone?" Chicha asked, sounding cautious.

" Yes. I'm alone. Your father is with your brothers." Fabiana reassured.

Chicha opened the door and looked at her surroundings. She nodded, letting Fabiana into the house, and locked the door.

" Is everything alright? Are you unwell?" Fabiana asked, sounding concerned, and she gasped. " Are you pregnant?" She beamed.

Chicha blushed, looking embarrassed, when she heard Fabiana ask if she was pregnant.

" I'm okay," Chicha reassured. " And no, I am not pregnant." She amusingly rolled her chocolate brown eyes when she saw Fabiana pout. " But I do need help," She looks at her mother with a worried gaze.

" What do you need help with?" Fabiana asked. " Is Pacha treating you well?" She frowned, looking concerned, thinking that Pacha was hurting Chicha.

" Pacha and I are fine," Chicha softly smiled. " I need help finding children's clothing. I cannot leave the house alone because I do not want Lucia to get frightened." She whispered.

Fabiana's chocolate brown eyes blinked. " Children's clothing? Lucia?" She asked, looking confused.

" Follow me." Chicha turns around and escorts Fabiana to her bedroom. " Mama. Please do not shout." She firmly asked.

Fabiana looked at Chicha with a concerned gaze. She watched her daughter open the door. Her chocolate brown eyes widened when she saw Lucia snuggling against a fluffy towel on the bed.

Fabiana stood there, looking at Lucia with mixed emotions. She noticed that the child had fire-like red hair, ocean-like blue eyes, and fair skin.

" Who is this child? And where did you find her?" Fabiana softly asked, remembering Chicha asking her not to shout.

" Pacha found her. And her name is Lucia." Chicha responded.

" Your husband had an affair with someone!" Fabiana gasped, feeling scandalous.

" Ma!" Chicha glares at Fabiana. " Pacha didn't have an affair." She reassured. " He said he found her in his boat at the beach." She explained.

Lucia adorably stared at Chicha and Fabiana. " Mama!" She held her hands out to Chicha since she wanted the older female to carry her.

Chicha turns around and walks towards Lucia. She grabs the child and holds her close.

" Why do you let the child call you Mama?" Fabiana asked with a frown.

Chicha fondly stares at Lucia. " Mama Chocha blessed me with this child. That is why I agree to raise Lucia like she was mine." She speaks while affectionately rubbing the child's face with her hand.

Fabiana's chocolate brown eyes blinked. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped when she saw Lucia hugging Chicha, causing the mark on her back to show. Her eyes widened when she saw the sun and the ocean symbol.

Fabiana remembered what Chicha had said and looked at her daughter in disbelief. " You are holding the child of our Gods." She whispered.

Lucia clings to Chicha while turning her head to stare at Fabiana. Her Ocean-like blue eyes intently stare at the older female's chocolate brown eyes that remind her of Chicha's.

Fabiana shivered since Lucia's eyes reminded her of the mighty waves of the Ocean.

' So much beauty and power coming off of those eyes.' Fabiana internally speaks. ' This child bears the mark of the Sun and Ocean. And my daughter has been blessed by the Gods to raise this child.' She looked at Chicha and Lucia in awe.

" I shall go to the market and get clothing for my Grandchild!" Fabiana exclaimed. She turns around and walks out of the house.

Chicha's chocolate brown eyes blinked. She looked surprised that Fabiana had claimed Lucia as her Grandchild. However, she frowned, looking worried because she knew her mother would gossip about Lucia to the whole Village.

" Who that?" Lucia asked while looking at Chicha.

" That was my mother, Fabiana. She would be your Grandmother." Chicha responded.

" Grandma?" Lucia tilted her head.

" Yes." Chicha nodded.

Chicha looks to the door with a worried gaze. ' Pacha. Be careful when you get home because I feel that mother is going to create chaos with the news that we have a child of two Gods in our home.' She internally speaks.

At the market, Pacha finished getting all the necessary foods for a family of three to eat. His chocolate brown eyes blink when he sees people of all ages running towards the direction of his home with food, clothing, and gifts.

" What is going on?" Pacha asked, looking confused.

" Excuse me. Excuse me. Pardon me." Pacha walked through the sea of people to his home. " Chicha! Chicha! What's going on?" He shouts, causing people to stare at him and whisper.

" Dad! Dad! Is it true? He found the young Goddess?" A five-year-old boy asked his father, looking excited.

" Quiet, Kronk." A twenty-five-year-old named Papi shushed Kronk.

Pacha frowned, looking concerned for Chicha and Lucia. He walked towards his house and knocked on the door. " Chicha! It's me, Pacha!" He shouts. " What is going on? Are you two okay?" He asked.

" Diego! Juan! Please, let my husband in the house, and don't let anyone that isn't family inside!" Pacha could hear Chicha shout.

Pacha heard footsteps walking towards the house. He sees the door open, revealing Chicha's identical older twin brothers, twenty-four-year-old Diego and Juan.

" All of you get back!" Juan shouts while Diego drags Pacha into the house, and they close and lock the door.

" What is going on? And why do we have the whole Village outside our house?" Pacha asked, looking worried.

" Papa!" Pacha's chocolate brown eyes blinked when he saw Lucia wearing an orangey-blue royal-like attire and brown sandals running towards him.

Pacha softly smiles when he sees Lucia. He sets the grocery to the side and picks her up. " You look beautiful, Lucia." He complimented.

" Grandma! Get it for me." Lucia brightly smiled.

" Grandma?" Pacha's chocolate brown eyes blinked.

" Me! Of Course! You, Idiot!" Fabiana shouts while entering the living room with Chicha from the bedroom after they finish dressing Lucia in her outfit.

" Ma! Please, do not call my husband an Idiot." Chicha sighed.

" Why is your mother here?" Pacha asked while holding Lucia close to him.

Diego and Juan stood behind Pacha. " Mama told the whole Village how Chicha got blessed to be the mother of the young Goddess." They spoke in unison while smiling at Lucia, who was staring at them since she had never seen twins before.

Chicha rubbed her forehead. She was annoyed that Fabiana gossiped about her being the mother of Lucia to the whole Village.

" Our fathers are on their way." Chicha looked at Pacha.

Pacha lightly bites his lips since his father is the current leader of their beachside Village. He didn't like the idea of his father being around Lucia, fearing that he would exploit her.

" Great!" Pacha groaned. He sits on the couch with Lucia on his lap, looking at him with a concerned gaze.

" Papa?" Lucia whispered, causing Pacha to look at him.

" I'm okay. I'm not looking forward to seeing my father right now." Pacha murmured while cuddling with Lucia and sighing.
