Pt 25- A Family

We join Aphmau and her friends Daaaaante and Laurance right after Dante said da ting. Ya no wut i'm talkin bout

A: Dante...I don't know what you're talking about..

D: You know! The kid you had about 2 years ago

A: Dante...this is your last chance to shut up

D: Oh come on! You remember..Alina?

L: Wait...hold on...you're saying...Aph had a kid 2 years ago....wait- with who!?

A: NO ONE! I NEVER HAD A KID! D-DANTE I SWEAR TO IRENE YOU'RE GOING CRAZY!

D: I'm not! Remember...Gene had to bring you to the hospital? 

A: DANTE!! SHUT UP!

L: WAIT GENE?! IS THIS THAT HISTORY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?!

D: What else could I have meant?

A: Danteeee!!! Shut up!!

L: WELL I DON'T KNOW!! MAYBE YOU MEANT LIKE, I DON'T KNOW! I JUST DIDN'T THINK YOU MEANT THIS!

A: Ugh...Laurance I...I can explain

Laurance sighs

L: No...it's ok..you loved him...he loved you..you didn't even know me back then...there was no way you could've stoped that from happening. At that time I bet you didn't want to either. I was just stunned

A: N-No...I didn't..can I ask you something?

L: Anything.

A: How are you not mad?

L: What?

A: I mean..just finding out now...I should've told you sooner...

L: I...don't know...I guess I just don't blame you..or Gene even..I probably should've taken the hint when Dante mentioned something about history repeating...but my question is....Dante...how do you know all this?

D: What? Well i'm his brother. I live with him. Also...I kinda...was hiding under his bed previously and was under while it was going on...I was trying to play a prank on him...and it back fired

A: WAIT YOU WERE THERE WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING?! D-DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?

D: No...I was under the bed..

A: Whew...you scared me for a moment

D: Sorry bout that. Also mom had told me that Gene would take me to school so I had been in the back when you were taken to the hospital

L: So that's why you missed school that day!

D: Yeah. Would've texted you but, eh

L: Ugh it all makes sense now!

Ge: What does?

A: Gah! Gene!

Ge: Sup

L: Where did you even come from?

Ge: The...patients room...you still didn't answer my question though

D: Hey Gene..?

Ge: Yeah?

D: Do you remember...Alina?

Ge: .....do not say her name

D: Why is that?

Ge: You know exactly why

Aphmau whispers

A: Dante it's because my mom made us put her up for adoption. Gene never liked talking about it

D: Oh right.

Ge: What are you trying to get at?

D: Gene. The older kid. We think she's Alina

Gene.exe has stopped working (I just had to)

Doc: Ok you can come in.

Gene grabs Aphmau's hand and walks in with her and looks at Alina

Ge: So...that's our kid?

A: Yeah..I guess so

Ge: She's beautiful

A: Yeah...she is

Ge: How did Laurance take it?

A: He uh...freaked out

Ge: So how's this going to work? You're with Laurance now

A: Yeah I was...questioning that as well

Ge: I think I know.

A: Hm?

Ge: You should stay with Laurance. You're happy with him. Only thing is one of us will take care of her per day. You should take care of her first since, you're the mother

A: So..you wont leave her?

Ge: No...I may not be with you but i'm still her father. I'll help.

A: Thank you

They hug

Alina wakes up

Al: Huh? Hospital? Where am I..?

A: You're awake!

Al: W-Who are you?

Ge: I'm Gene. Your father. This is Aphmau, your mother

Al: But...I don't have a mommy. I'm adopted. Are you here to take me with you? C-Cause if you are, i'm not going!

A: Calm down. I know you were adopted. I'm your real mom. He's your real dad

Al: I....have a family? A real one?

Ge: Yeah you do.

Alina slowly gets up and hugs them

Al: Thank you

Ge: Don't worry about it

Alina looks over at the other kid still asleep

Al: Who's that?

A: We don't know.. We just found her

Al: Oh..

Doc: Ok so these two are the ones from that crash right?

Ge: Yeah

Doc: Ok. There are no more survivors from what we can tell so we'll be sending them to the orphanage

A: Well actually this ones our daughter. She...accidentally got separated from us a while back.

Doc: Oh? Well alright then. What about this young one?

Ge: Uh Aph if you don't mind, we'd like to adopt her awsell 

Doc: You two realize what you're getting into right?

Ge: We know exactly

Doc: Ok i'll go get the sheets to make it official!

Doctor leaves the room

A: Gene! What's with the other one?

Ge: Sorry it's just, I didn't want her to be alone in there. It would've been hard on the kid.

A: It's fine just, what will we name her?

Ge: Ask Laurance that. 

A: What? Why?

Ge: Cause he's going to be the father of that one.

Al: Wait so...you're my dad...but you two aren't together?

Ge: Not anymore. Once we lost you we moved on. Times changed and she found her true love.

A:  Yeah. He's still willing to care for you. So am I. Just not at the same time...all the time

Ge: Yeah we'll still visit each other now and again but she's practically living with your step-father

Al: Oh...ok!

A: Let's go out and have you meet him.

Aphmau and Gene come out with Alina and sit her down in between Aph and Laurance

A: Alina this is Laurance, your step father

Al: Hi mister!

L: Formal much? 

Al: Hehe..

L: I'm Laurance. Nice to meet you kid.

A: Laurance if you wont mind, she'll be staying with me every other day

L: You know, you could just say every two days

A: Eh. The other way feels more natual

L: It's fine with me.

A: Oh right Dante!

D: I was about to say..

A: Alina this is Dante.

Al: Hi sir!

Ge: He's your uncle

D: You know, I like this kid

Al: Hehe! Thank you!

D: I'm Dante. Your moms friend and dads brother

Al: Okie!

Doc: Ok here are the sheets. Whoever signs are the official parents

A: Right. Laurance we're adopting the other kid. If...you want to

L: Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't I want to?!

Laurance signs and then Aphmau does

Doc: Ok. Let me bring her out

L: So Gene...what did you talk to the doctor about?

Ge: Uh...

~Flashback~

Ge: What's your deal? Most doctors let the family stay in

Doc: I asked you to leave because we need to do an x-ray. 

Ge: So call us back in once that's done

Doc: Well after most parents just freak out and it's hard to concentrate. 

Ge: We aren't parents though

Doc: No, you may not be, but you seem to have some attachment to this older one.

Ge: I get it. You have a job and us being here disturbs it

Doc: Right. Now if you will leave

Gene gets shooed out of the room

~Flashback ends~

A: Wow...that didn't last long

Ge: No it didn't. 

The doctor comes back out with the kid

L: What should we name her?

A: I don't know...I like Lilith

L: Hmm...random thought here.. I remember one time Garroth was dared to dress like a girl for a day. His girl name was Garnet. It was hilarious!

A: Hmm...what about Lilith Garnet? So we can remember love and humor are different.

L: Sounds good.

Ge: Lets go guys. The others are waiting and it's almost dinner at this point

L: Right. Cmon kids

They go back to the car and have Alina sit with Garroth and Lilith sit with Laurance

Ge: Now lets go eat

They drive off
