Fated Or Doomed

Whose To Blame II

      Entering the kitchen all you see is everyone walking around each other. A bit chaotic. Mable trying her best to guide everyone and have a nicely decor dinner table while keeping the kitchen mange. You can sense the stress all over.

      I try to jump in by fling my hand around to get everything in order. As everything flies over heads and neatly placing itself on the table like a huge feast. All the dishes that must be put away goes in their rightful cabinet and so on. Everyone stops their movements and looks at me with tame eyes.

      Mable sighs as she wipes her wet hands over her apron. "Thank you dear. Now everyone take a chair please."

      Travis pulls out my chair and pushes me in. I thank him. One snap of a finger and his chair opens up for him. He kisses my cheek as he whispers a thank you as well.

      While everyone takes a chair. Danny brings over a wine to fill up Mable's glass to the near rim. She thank him as he nods. That smile she hid said so much without any words. And my insides glow from seeing them trying after all this time. I just wish they'll be more open about it.    

      I see Danny heading towards the direction of the door. My thoughts broke silence. "Danny are you joining?" I asked. The room grew ever so silence now.

      He looks over to Mable before returning a gaze at me. "Um no. This is family." He excuse.

      "But you are family. You've been around for as long as I can remember. Join us please." I plead gently. I ignore the harsh look Mable sends my way.

      Danny's heart was speeding faster than I expected it to. But what got me more was his respond. "I am on the clock. You folks enjoy the wonderful meal." And headed off.

      I turn to Mable who avoided my eyes. She just held her hand up with a tight lip. By that I knew I should of not stick my nose in her business. It does tell me that her and Danny may be in good terms for now. But usually means soon she will cut it off again. Which also means she may be planning another trip. That's her go to card to breaking things up. And sweet Danny just lets her go and waits for her return. Even though she returns with a cold heart towards him. He never leaves her side or turns bitter. If anything he's kinder and more loving at her. It really is a shocker how they're not mates. I just wish I knew their story.

      "Before we begin. I want to say a few words." Mable taps a glass to grab everyones attention. All heads turn. "I want to thank each and every one of you for coming. A lot has change. New friends and family is still building. But over all we are all together. Stronger even."

      Mable leans over to grabs both Mery and I arms. We let a soft grin her way. "I wish my dear brother Caden could be here. See how amazing his two girls are. I really thought you two will be all I will have. But now you bring to me furry goblins." We all laugh at her remark. "Things may not always be good. Heads will bump and words may cut. But love we have for each other will heal all. I can't tell you how bliss I feel to see this new growth. You young folks will change this world. You are the ones who can handle these kind of dilemma. We all go through hard times and battles along the way. I know during my time, there were battles. And it's good to have someone to lean on. If you haven't heard it before. Let me say it now. I am truly proud of each and every one of you. My goblins and fur goblins. Thank you my dear goblins."

      Rising a glass we all cheers to her sweet settlement. After some more wise words around the table. We all dig in the most amazing food. Mable truly did go all out. She made mix entrees of seafood and classic lamb and pork. Not just any pork. She knows of a butcher who hunts hogs. Lending Mable a few limbs for her meal preps.
