MAMA? (A The Deep story)

Chapter 10

     Fontaine's P.O.V

We quickly rushed Ant's bed into his room and gently slid him onto his bed.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a slight panic.

"Somethings going on, mom and dad need us out of there for... Something." I manage to say.

"Hm." Mama hummed, "You can't tell him the truth?" Her dark gaze stared down at me. I only glared back up at her before breaking the stare and sighing. I turned back to Ant and told him.

"The Dark Orchha crew was in danger or... Something, and mom and dad are helping them in the medbay." I told him. He shot up and hissed as his leg twitched, before turning back towards me.

"Is Maddie okay?!" He almost shrieked. I flinched back for a moment, turning towards Mama before shrugging.

"I-I don't know, we didn't get to see." I sighed, comfortingly rubbing his shoulder.

"Whose Maddie?" Mama asked quizzingly. Ant opened his eyes and turned away immediately, looking embarrassed. I smirked and told her that Maddie was his girlfriend, only to have Mama hiss in disgust. Ant huffed in embarrassment.

"Sh-she's not my g-girlfriend you l-liar!" He shouted at me, pointing at me accusingly. I only chuckled.

"Okay, okay, but in all seriousness, the situation is pretty big right now. They just needed us out of the way, so we need to stay here."

"Alright, you can go then." She forcefully shoved me towards the door, hugging Ant.

"I'm not leaving!" I shouted at her, stepping closer to Ant's bed.

"But you said your mom and dad are busy, you should help them, shouldn't you?" She shot me a glare with a smirk.

"Taptora I had enough!" Ant suddenly yelled. "You're supposed to be my mama, not a spoiled brat!" She turned towards Ant, looking almost genuinely offended by the remark.

"B-but I..."

"No! Stop it!" He finished the argument. She just lowered her head down and mumbled an 'alright' in defeat. I walk back over to my brother and lowered myself down to look at him.

"Ant, are you okay?" I murmured to him.

"My leg still really hurts..." He shot me a glare. "But I'll be fine. I'm just worried about everyone else..." He merely whispered and seemed to point his head towards the grumpy Mama, who had folded arms like an upset toddler.

Suddenly, my mom came through the communicator, requesting me and very aggressively Mama to come down to the bridge. While I was ready to go, I could tell Mama didn't want to. She looked down at my communicator, then to me, then to Ant.

"But... But..."

"I'm sorry, but we have to go. What my mom says, goes." I huffed to her. She then claimed how she was an adult, but I ignored her. "Let's go." I demanded, glaring at her. My mom came over the communicator again.

"You better get your ass in here Mama, or there will be consequences." She growled, signing off.

"Does she always have that dirty language when talking to her children?" Mama growled lowly before standing up. Me and Ant looked at each other.

"Only when she's about to tear you in half, now let's go." I huffed. She turned to Ant quickly and placed a kiss on his head, causing me to groan, dragging her out of the room as she waved him goodbye.
