Chapter 8

"Can I call you 'Okaa-san'?" Yue asked, looking up at Mai sweetly. Mai sighed in relief before pulling him into a hug.

"Of course you can!" She said, laughing happily as she pulled Shing into the hug aswell. "We're going to be a family! If you want to call me 'Okaa-san' then go right ahead! That goes for you as well, Shing." She said, looking at the stoic young boy.

"Okaa-san." The corners of his mouth twitched up into a small smile. "I could get used to that." He said, nodding his head. Yue laughed.

"You're going to be a scientist, Shing. An idiot scientist." He laughed again. Shing growled slightly before smirking.

"At least I'm not struggling with my Latin." This time Yue scowled before Mai's laughter caused both boys to look at Mai.

"Boys! Behave! Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that you two are just so much like them. Oh!" Mai clutched her side.

"Like who?" Yue asked.

"Oh, just someone I knew." Mai calmed herself down. "Ah, well. I have to finish filling out the forms so that we can start the process and then get back to helping Naru with this case." Mai stood up. "Time to get busy, eh boys?"

"Yes 'kaa-san." Yue stood up as well and gave Mai a hug, which she returned with a smile.

Later...

Mai, Yuki and the twins trudged into the base.

"Mou! My hand hurts from all that writing!" Mai whimpered, before beginning to make tea for everyone.

"Mai, where have you been all day?" Naru asked, irritation coloring his voice causing Mai to flinch.

"And what, pray tell, does it mean to you? After all, you gave her today off, did you not?" Shing said before muttering 'Idiot' under his breath.

"Oh my Gosh! They are just too cute for words! They're so much like the boys! Hello, Noll, darling! Aren't they adorable, Martin?" A feminine voice squealed, causing Naru to pale.

"Mother! What are you doing here?!" He growled slightly.

"Don't growl at me, young man. I am your mother, Oliver Edward Davis and you will mind your manners with me! Do I make myself clear, mister?!" Her tone booked no arguments. Luella Davis was an attractive woman in her early forties, with blonde hair and gray eyes. Her husband, Martin, was ten years older than she was, with salt and pepper hair and blue-green eyes behind oval spectacles; he was, in short, the stereotypical eccentric professor with his tweed coats and khaki slacks.

"Yes mother."

"Good. Now, why don't you two handsome young gentlemen come over here and give your new Aunt Luella a hug, hmm?" She stretched her arms out. Yue promptly ran over to give her a hug. Shing looked up at Mai.

"Did she say 'Oliver Davis' or was I hearing things?" He asked softly, awe coloring his voice slightly.

"No, she really did say 'Oliver Davis'." Mai answered, holding her giggles back valiantly.

"You know the Davis brothers?"

"Davis twins, actually. I only know Gene because he's my 'dream guide' you could say. He died almost five years ago."

"Okay" Shing said weakly, before being pulled into a bone crushing hug by Luella.

"Oh, you are so like Oliver! Which one of you is older?"

"I am." Shing gasped, still held tight in her grasp.

"Really? It was the exact opposite with my boys. Noll was always the standoffish scientist, while Gene was always very friendly." She said. "Do you boys have any psychic abilities?"
