A New Judgment

Chapter 17: A Bunny, A Kendo Stick and Apology

Everyone is fluttering about their hotel room, making sure everything is packed to head out for their drive to the live show that night. Nessa is tossing things around and huffing when she can't find what she is looking for.

"What are you looking for, Bunny?" Rhea asks, picking up the various pieces of clothing Nessa was tossing around and putting them back in her bag for her.

"I'm looking for my bra that I tossed to the side last night..." She admits, her cheeks turning pink from embarrassment, made even worse when the others start laughing.

"You mean this Mariposa?" Damian holds up the bra, eyeing it then Nessa, "You know you can go without it for a while, give us easier access in the car since it is a long ride and we could use some distractions." Damian wiggles his eyebrows and smirks, Finn snatches the bra from his hand and gently hands it to Nessa, seeing her pout and hug herself.

"Oy no fucking in the car of any type while I am driving. It is only an hour and a half drive. A chroí, go ahead and change for the drive. Rhea will pack your bag back up." Finn softly orders, gently pushing her towards the bathroom. Once the door closes he turns on Damian.

"Man, you have got to watch her physical cues when you tease. That is the problem you are having for Christ's sake." Finn smacks Damian's chest whose smile falls off his face.

"Oh, yeah there is no escape in the car and she shit yeah I'll watch that. Thank you for calling it out." Damian realizes.

"Good, now I don't think now is the right time to bring up what we discussed last night. Maybe I'll gauge how she feels on Monday and explain then, yeah?" Finn puts out to the group.

"Yeah, that is a good plan. She is in a good mood from last night, even after talking to Mom..." Dominik approves, trailing off as his phone rings. He looks at the screen a mix of confused and scared.

"Who is it babe?" Damian asks, looking over Dominik's shoulder and laughing seeing the name displayed.

"Well Mariposa did warn us that would happen. Go ahead and answer, we will finish packing." Dominik sighs and prepares himself before answering.

"Hi mom." He answers curtly as Nessa walks out and pauses seeing him on the phone. Rhea is sitting on the edge of one of the beds and pats the spot beside her. Nessa joins her on the bed, Rhea wrapping an arm around her waist. "No mom. We aren't ready for ... because she just now forga... we are only 26.... WHAT... ok..." They all just wait and listen to Dominik try to talk to his mother. "Guys she wants me to put it on speaker ok." He tells the group before hitting the button and everyone is able to hear Angie's voice.

"Ok so here is the deal. You are all now my children and any children you have regardless of who it is from are now officially my grandchildren. Two of you are well over the age of when you should have children and the other three are in your prime. SO I say this again when I am getting grandchildren?"

All five of them stand there stunned for a moment until Damian recovers first and takes the phone from Dominik. "Yo... nos encantaría darte nietos. El mayor número posible. Todavía estamos descubriendo y aprendiendo unos de otros. Danos tiempo, por favor. Te prometo que serás el primero en saberlo. Serás una abuela perfecta." ( I... we would love to give you grandchildren. The greatest number possible. We are still discovering and learning from each other. Give us time, please. I promise you'll be the first to know. You will be a perfect grandmother.)

Nessa and Dominik don't miss Damians slip at the beginning. Nessa leans against Rhea who whispers to her, "As many grandchildren as possible huh? Who do they expect to birth so many?" She jokes.
