Forty: Lunch

Shelby felt a small pang in her heart over the fact that Audrey's grandfather was losing his memory or forgetting things. She looked to her lover for the answer when Morganne approached them.

"Morganne..." Alice murmured.

"Mom," she raised her hand. "Me and Auntie Drey have talked about this. I'm sorry but it's confidential." The girl's words caused Audrey to let out a small chuckle. She nodded, caressing her lover's hand.

"Where?"

"In the other room."

"Alright," Audrey got up and pulled her lover with her, following the girl to the room they were before.

Shelby followed them with slightly furrowed brows, wondering what she was walking into.

As they got into the room, the girl closed the door and pointed to a small couch. Audrey got the hint and walked to it, sitting on it and pulling Shelby with her, caressing her waist as both were sat down.

Morganne stopped in front of them, looking at the piece of paper down in her hands. "Shelby, I'll be honest with you," the girl started. "People don't think I know what happened with Audrey, but I do... and I care about her, a lot." She confessed, softly. "I just want to ask you a few questions, just to make sure you're not like Rory or Beatrix."

"Okay," Shelby nodded softly. "I can promise you I'm not, but ask away, sweetheart." She smiled softly, once again feeling nervous.

Audrey felt her brows furrowing softly. "You know?"

"Mhm," The girl nodded. "It scares me that you'll do it again..." she confessed, softly once again.

"Honey..." the actress felt her eyes getting teary. She used her free hand to caress the girl's arm. "I'm doing much better, I promise you nothing will happen."

"I can promise that too," Shelby said with a soft smile. "I'll watch over her for you, and if I ever think something like that is going to happen again, I'll give you a call and we can all talk, how does that sound?" she asked.

Morganne stared up at Shelby, brown eyes shining with a mix of tears and join. "Would you really do that?" the girl asked in amusement.

Shelby nodded with the same soft, loving smile. "I would. I know how much you mean to her, and how much she means to you. Your auntie means the world to me, and I would do anything to keep her happy." She explained.

Audrey felt her eyes getting even tearier. She softly squeezed the girl's arm, soon letting go.

Morganne basically jumped on Shelby, hugging her tightly. "Thank you," she whispered.

Shelby was surprised by the hug, but she hugged her back, lightly squeezing the girl in her embrace. "You don't have to thank me, sweetheart." She glanced at Audrey with a soft smile.

Audrey felt a tear falling down. She wiped it away quickly, smiling back at Shelby.

The girl slowly pulled away, smiling at the younger blonde as she did so. "Okay." She said softly. "You already have 10 points, but I want to ask you the questions anyway." Morganne giggled.

Shelby chuckled softly as she nodded. "Okay, honey."

Audrey pressed a tender kiss on her lover's cheek before Morganne could start, caressing her waist as she did so. "Okay..." Morganne started. "What's your favorite thing about Auntie Drey?"

Shelby smiled at the kiss and the question. She had to think hard and bit her lip as she did so. "My favorite thing? God, there's so many, I don't think I can choose just one."
