You Make Me Happier Than Joy

Pies for Bobbies

Authors Note: The outfit above is what was worn for today's chapter (I couldn't put one of the work clothes, so just imagine jeans, boots, a shirt for reasons, and gloves) :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The next day came and me and Auntie May were both planning on spending the day together in the town again while Uncle Tom went to work. I was carrying the four pies in a picnic basket on my one arm, Auntie May holding onto my other arm. I could feel the warmth of the pies, even with the lid closed. Auntie May insisted to pop the pies in the oven to warm them up, said it'd be better to deliver a warm pie than one at room temp. I can see the logic behind it, I know I'd like a warm pie if I got one.

"Ahhh...we're nearly there, Sugar" Auntie May said looking up to me.

"Where might that be Auntie? I don't see what the secret's all about"

"Well Sweet Pea" Auntie said looking at me as we turned town to a different street, "it's just right there. The police station! I bet your little crush from yesterday will be there" Auntie May said with her mischievous grin.

"Oh Auntie! Second day here and you're already trying to wed me?" I laughed as we were walking closer to the police station. It seems like everyone in my family is trying to get me married, but sometimes it's quite humorous if you ask me. Auntie May is a rather spitfire of a woman, even more so in her older age. You can tell she doesn't give a flying hoot about what anyone else thinks, most of the women in my family are the same way. The men too, now that I think about it.

Once we got up to the front door a pair of Constable's were on their way out, being kind gents they held open the doors for us. They're quite sweet from what I've interpreted so far, Uncle Tom and Auntie May say they intimidate the lot of welps in Wellington Wells. I mean if one of them were running after me I wouldn't be hesitant to shit my pants. Granted anyone who gets chased by a Constable or any officer probably did something wrong, to the standards for here at least.

Auntie May and I walked up to the front desk, the two Constable's manning the desk and a small group of Constables by them greeting us politely. "Morning Mrs. O'Donohue!"

"Good morning Constable Bacon! My niece and I baked some pies for you lads, hope the lot of ya will enjoy them!" Auntie May said as I put the basket on the desk, the crook of my arm starting to hurt from the handle weighing it down. Totally didn't cut off any circulation.

"Why of course, Mrs. O'Donohue! We always appreciate and enjoy your baking, I have no doubt your lovely niece's pies will be splendid as well." one of the Constable's in the small group said. The lot of them came up to the desk to get closer to us. Auntie May introduced me to the group of Constable's that we were talking to. Constable Bacon, Constable Hunt, Constable Rossetti, Constable Reynolds, and Constable Hogarth. All nice and proper gents, and Auntie May deep down is trying to get it so my arms is interlocked with one of them and not her. The mischievous, ballsy moves this woman has instore for me in the future - I don't know if I want to know. After chatting a bit with the Constables we had to a) let them do their job and b) do some work around the house. We said our farewells and headed back home to get some work done before Uncle Tom got back.

Such a nice way to spend the rest of the day: at home, working on projects and such. Since Uncle Tom never really had much time to repair or build some things around the house and yard I took that up as my job too. I absolutely love that I get to build and repair things - things like building shelves for the greenhouse, replacing a door hinge that broke, and just about anything! Their place is by no means in shambles, just a thing or two there that needs fixing that Uncle Tom doesn't usually have time to do between working and taking care of Auntie May.

I had brought some seeds with me when I came over, different fruits and vegetables. Auntie May always used to love gardening and growing different things, even before the war, so I brought them as a little gift. With the weather here in the UK I'm not surprised she has a greenhouse, it's always changing. That and it provides some privacy for what we're growing, Auntie May doesn't like the whole idea of people constantly pestering her with what she said were annoying questions. I can understand with the way the people here act - always starting a conversation with everyone. I had planted a couple apple trees in pots and some different vegetables and fruits. I planted some blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries in pots - I placed them in front of the row of apple trees I had just planted on one side of the greenhouse. The vegetables - tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, and some others I put on the other side of the greenhouse with some flowers Auntie May had growing. There was plenty of space between then in such a large greenhouse, so I had them spaced a it from each other. It had taken a couple of hours to do - Auntie May coming out and talking with me half of the time while I was working and taking some breaks.

By the time I had finished planting and labeling everything it was just around time to get dinner started. I had enough time to take off my dirty work clothes and take a quick shower before starting dinner. As I was taking my shower I couldn't help but think about the past two days. For some reason the Constable's stuck out most. 'I mean, why wouldn't they? They're rather nice to look at - sweet too' I thought wrapping a towel around my body when I was stepping out of the shower. I dried off got dressed and went downstairs to get dinner started, Auntie May sitting at the island bar drinking her tea, Copper laying next to her. "What's on the menu today, Sugar?" she smiled before taking a drink of her tea.

"Mmmm..." I thought for a second, "how about...lasagna?"

"While you start the water, I'll go ahead and cut the cheese" we both laughed at the her 'cutting the cheese'.
