HOW TO BE A FAILURE 101

~ RAVEN ~

I already fucking love her. Oh fuck. I don't think I should be saying fuck.

Fuck...

Our whole evening was filled to the fucking brim with happiness. And the way Christian looked at her was so fucking cute. I think we're going to be great parents.

Speaking of parents, ours wouldn't stop harassing us.

The family group chat called: The cool bitches, was blowing up every second with messages.

Mother Bear: Has she came??? Call us.

Dawg4life: Call us!!!!! Ur mother and I wanna see her scrumptious little face!

Thiqque Theo: BITCH SHOW US THE LITTLE GREMLIN!!!

Lorenzo's pizza: (SIDE NOTE: it's a local Italian restaurant in my area XD I just had to add it in) stop being a bitch! let us come to your house.

Devil incarinate: FBI! OPEN TF UP BITCH!!!

Mr and Mrs Ricci hadn't sent any messages however they called us 15 times.

Christian had just finished telling Pheonix about the whiteboards and notebooks and showing her around the house. Now they had settled into the kitchen and were eating the pancakes I had made for Pheonix not Christian.

I head over and join them. Pheonix is writing in the notebook, she then rotates it around for us to see it. Her writing is messy, I note.

Are you married? She wrote.

"We just got engaged, and we haven't set a date for the wedding," Christian says looking at me.

Pheonix nods and pulls the paper towards her to write something else. She slides it to us again.

What do I call you? She asks peering at us.

"Whatever you want cara," I reply.

Can I call you mum and dad?

Christian and I look at each other surprised, "Oh, uh of course," We say the same time.

Mum... She's going to call me mum!

Can we watch a movie? She looks down at her hands.

"Of course! What movie?" Christian asks.

**************************************************************************************************

Both Christian and Pheonix were watching the movie intently when my phone started ringing. I excused myself and went into the kitchen.

Facetime? I press accept.

7 annoyed faces popped up on the other side of the screen.

"So Raven, you've forgotten about us?" Enzo says. I tilt my head back and groan.

"DO I HAVE TO FUCKING COME OVER THERE AND WHOOP ALL OF YOUR ASSES?" I whisper shout, which causes Christian to look at me.

They all gulp. My mother is the first one to speak. "Raven can you please just ask her if she wants to see us?" I sigh.

"Ok fuck, fine. Hold on a second." I put my phone down on the bench and walk over to Pheonix.

"Pheonix honey... our families really want to meet you. Would you mind if they come over for dinner?"

She grabs her notebook and scribbles something.

As long as they're nice...

I smile and say, "If they aren't, I'll pull their hair out," she silently laughs, thinking I'm joking but little does she know that her mums a bad bitch. I then go back and pick up my phone.

"She said yes," Before they can say anything I hang up.

I had bought a lot of new clothes for Pheonix, they were mainly plain but that was because I hadn't known what Pheonix would like.

After the movie ended, Christian and I had let Pheonix have some time to herself, after all, she was in a new environment. I had washed up and started preparing dinner with Christian.

To my surprise, Christian did know how to cook, but of course not better than me.

"So what do you think of Pheonix, Raven?" Christian asks while he's chopping onions.

"I love her, and her hair," we both giggle. "Christian idioto, you're not cutting it right! Here,"

I place my hands over his and help show him how to properly cut the onion. When I pull away he says, "Sorry I'm a little lost there, could you show me again Bellissima?" I smack him on the back of his head giggling.

Pheonix walks into the kitchen dressed in some of the new clothes I bought her

She pulls out a chair and sits there, watching us cook.

~*~*~*~

We were all sitting on the couch waiting for everyone to arrive. We ask Phoenix a few more questions, and so far we've learnt that her favourite colours are autumn colours. Her favourite food is sushi, she was born in Paris and understands a bit of French.

She also loves reading books, I plan on taking her to the library and bookshop.

Suddenly we hear the door open, Christian and I both stand up alert.

"HONK, HONK BITCH," Carina and Theo both say. When they reach the living room, I glare at them. The freeze in their tracks. But when they see Luna-Pheonix they rush over to her.

"Hi, I'm Carina, I'm your new aunty," Carina says as she holds her hand out.

This happens around 6 more times for each fucking family member.

**************************************************************************************************

The rest of the evening was, interesting for us, but normal to, well normal people. I could tell everyone liked Pheonix, especially our parents mainly because Luna-Pheonix was their first grandchild.

I don't know about Christian or Pheonix but fuck, I was full. Christian and Luna-Pheonix were fast asleep and sprawled on the couch. Christian was softly snoring, and Pheonix was drooling on the couch.

I walk over to her and put my arm under her knees and another around her shoulder. She slightly stirs.

I walk up the stairs and push the door open with my back. I tenderly place phoenix on her bed and pull a blanket over her.

I can't help but to kiss her on the forehead... just like my mother did before... before she died.
