Seventy-Eight: Family Game Night

Morganne popped herself down in bed, hugging her legs tightly against her chest as she buried her face into the pillow.

Shelby moved over to the bed. Slowly, she sat down next to Morganne. Her hand rested on the girl's back. "Honey..." she said softly. "You know they're not upset with you, right?"

"They a-are..." Morganne sobbed, burying her face into the pillow even more. "I just w-wanted to understand..."

Shelby started to slowly run her hand up and down the girl's back as she laid down behind her. She pulled Morganne closer, hoping that holding her would help. "It's not true. They were just surprised." She explained.

As Shelby laid down, Morganne instantly turned to her, hugging her tightly and burying her face into the crook of her neck. "I k-know it was w-wrong... and I didn't k-know Mommy hadn't told grandma a-and grandpa..."

Shelby held the girl in a tight embrace. "Exactly, you didn't know, sweetheart. It's okay, no one is upset with you." She said softly as she began to run the girl's back, slowly moving her hand up and down.

"B-but still... I'm s-sorry," Morganne sobbed, hugging Shelby tighter.

Shelby gently rocked the girl in her arms, knowing it was something that always calmed Audrey down. "It's okay. No one is mad or upset with you, I promise, honey."

"Really?" The girl asked in small voice, a tiny knock on the door being heard.

"Babies?" Audrey asked softly from the other side of the room.

"We're in here." Shelby said softly. "And yes, I promise, sweetheart."

Audrey softly entered the room, smiling sadly at them. "Sweetpea... what's wrong?"

"Y-you're all m-mad..." The girl sobbed.

Shelby sat up, pulling Morganne up with her, letting her sit in her lap. "That's not true." She said softly.

The actress sat down next to her lover, caressing Morganne's back softly. "No one is mad, sweetheart... Alice is talking with grandma and grandpa, and I'm here checking on you because she wants you to be fine."

"R-really?" Morganne sniffed as she wiped her tears away, staring up at Audrey.

"Yes," The actress nodded softly.

"See," Shelby smiled softly. "No one is upset, honey."

"O-okay..." Morganne said softly.

"We love you, honey, we just don't want you looking at those things," Audrey said softly, tenderly.

Shelby nodded in agreement. "It's better to ask questions than search online, okay?"

"Okay..." Morganne nodded. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Audrey smiled. "After your Mommy comes here, you talk to her, okay?"

"I think it would be good for you guys to talk." Shelby said with a small smile. "But don't be sorry, okay? No one is upset with you."

"Okay," Morganne nodded as sniffed, smiling up at her aunts. "Thank you"

"Of course." Audrey smiled, placing a kiss on Morganne's forehead.

Shelby smiled as she placed a kiss atop the girl's head. "We're always here for you, sweetheart."

Audrey nodded as she started to get up. "Mommy is talking with them now, I'll go check and see if she's done, okay?"

Morganne nodded as she cuddled back into Shelby's embrace. The woman gladly held the girl, smiling softly at her lover.

Audrey melted at the scene in front of her, smiling brightly before leaving the room and going back to the kitchen, seeing Alice there alone. "Hey... is everything okay?"
