Chapitre 35 : Rencontre Des Membres De Famille
Outside of the windowsill, Desiree was whimpering, rather painfully. "Oh... no... no... NO!!" She panted heavily as she woke up from the unpleasant dream. She peeked over inside the windowsill. Thankfully, Remy and Git were sleeping despite her loud wake. "Wait... what was that dream about?" She wondered as she kept thinking about the dream. "I kept screaming some name... I forgot what it was..." She thought hard for a long time. "Come on, what was his name? Daniel? No... Delmore? No... Deon? No..." She sat and continued to think for a long time. "Oh! Come on, think! What was his name?! I need to remember his name so that I know the answer to my dream!" She continued to think, but she eventually gave up on trying to think. She heard the window open.
"Hello," Remy said as he and Git stepped outside the window, "Sleep well?"
"Oh, yes," Desiree replied a little hesitantly.
"What is it? Did something happen?" Git asked with concern.
"Oh, well," Desiree sighed, "I had a strange dream."
"What kind of dream?"
"It was when I lost my family. I kept screaming my husband's name... desperately, but I don't remember now that I'm fully awake. I've tried to think hard about it, but I just don't remember it anymore."
"Well, you'll soon remember the name. If you happen to remember the name, Git and I will try to help you. There may be some rats you're familiar with in my colony. You can come visit the colony with us."
"Thank you, how can I ever repay you?"
"Oh no, that's not necessary. We rats are supposed to help each other." Git patted Desiree on the back.
"And if you want to stay at our colony, feel free to do so." Remy gave her a warm smile.
"I'm so glad that I met you boys."
"Would you like something to eat? Git and I are going to have breakfast." Remy offered as he was about to go back in the apartment.
"Oh, no thank you, I'm not hungry."
"At least have a piece of bread, ma'am." Git wanted her to eat something.
"Well, a piece, I guess. Thank you."
"Two breakfast orders, check." Remy said as he hurried into the kitchen.
Desiree followed Remy and Git inside the apartment. Remy wouldn't just give anyone the bread without a touch. He stirred the eggs with milk and salt, soaked the bread with egg wash, and flipped some French toasts. While Remy was doing this whole thing, Desiree looked at him cook as if it was something amazing. When the French toast was done, he served them to Git and Desiree. When Desiree took a bite, her eyes opened wide.
"Wow! This bread is amazing! It's totally different from what I pick from the ground." She continued to devour it and savored the taste. The soft texture and the sweet taste made her feel very happy.
"You must've been hungry," Git said as he chewed on his toast next to her. Desiree felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh Git, stop teasing her," Remy told him.
"It's okay, I forgot my manners," Desiree said as she swallowed her mouthful.
"It's fine, I'm happy whenever people eat my food like that," Remy thanked her as he ate his breakfast with them. Desiree finished her food way too quickly; Git and Remy were barely halfway through their own food.
"Thank you for the meal," Desiree said as she wiped her mouth that Remy gave her, "that is probably one of the best bread I have ever eaten."
"Thank you for the compliment," Remy replied.
"I'll wait until you finish your food," Desiree sat down and waited patiently.
"Just be prepared to visit our colony," Git said to her as he almost finished his breakfast, "Who knows? You might meet someone who you're looking for?"
"Now don't get her hopes up," Remy said, a little concerningly, "we don't want her to be too disappointed when it fails."
"That's fine, Remy," Desiree said, "I really don't expect to find my family anyways. I'm just very thankful for your gratitude that I would like to visit your colony. There may be rats who are as friendly as you are." Remy and Git smiled at her.
As soon as they finished their breakfast, they escorted Desiree to their colony. "So, how far is your colony from here?"
"Just ten minutes walk," Remy replied.
"So, Remy?" Desiree asked.
"Yes, Desiree?" Remy replied.
"What is your mother and your father's name?" Desiree asked, just out of curiosity.
"I lost my mother long time ago. But my dad's name's Django," Remy replied, completely oblivious.
"Django... wait Django?" To Desiree, the name was stored in her brain well.
"Yes, is something wrong?" Remy asked, thinking that something was wrong.
Desiree froze and had the whole sudden flashback. She had a flashback where she tried to grab Django's hand. He also tried to reach her, but then the tide pushed her away from him. Django tried to jump in the water to save her, but Desiree was already far enough from him and many rats stopped him from jumping into the water. She also saw Emile calling out for his mother. "Oh! I remember everything! My husband! His name is Django! And my first son's name! His name is Emile! And my second kid... his name was... Remy..." She turned to Remy, who looked at Desiree with a full surprise. Git's eyes were also wide. "Hold on, take me to your father, Remy, I gotta make sure!"
Remy and Git ran towards the colony and Desiree followed them. Remy called for his father as soon as he reached the colony. "DAD! DAD! COME ON, COME ON!"
"Remy, what's all the fuss about?" Django, annoyed, answered him. Instead of saying anything, Remy grabbed Django's arm and dragged him to meet Desiree. "Now, Remy, what's wrong with-" He paused right as he saw Desiree in front of his eyes. "De-Desiree?"
"Django... Django! It is you!" She ran up to Django and hugged him tight.
"I... I thought you were dead! You- you're alive! Oh, Desiree I thought I'd never see you again!" Django cried as he hugged her tightly.
"I looked and looked, and now I finally found you!" Desiree cried with him. Emile went to see what was going on. He was surprised as soon as he saw his long-lost mother. Desiree noticed him. "Emile? Baby? Is that really you?"
"Mom!" Emile ran towards Desiree and Django.
"Oh, my baby! You've grown so much!" As she hugged both of them, she turned to Remy. "Django, is he... also my baby?"
"Yes, dear," Django replied proudly, "you should be proud. He is one of the most successful rat in our colony."
"Oh, Remy, come here my baby!" She let her hand out. Remy walked towards, and Desiree pulled him into the huddle. "Oh, my baby! I finally got to see you! I always wanted to speak to you after you were born."
In a distance, Git wiped his tears, well, not just him, but many other rats did.
After some time, Desiree withdrew from Django, Emile, and Remy. Then Django stood up and proudly announced, "Hear all, the rats of this colony! My wife has finally returned!" Everyone cheered loudly, excitedly, cheerfully, and tearfully.
Whole clan started music for the special and enormous celebration. They all danced and sang with joy. Desiree and Django had a long talk that they haven't had for a long time. Remy and Git pulled Emile from Django and Desiree so that they can get some lone time.
"Emile, I know you're excited, but we need dad to have long talk with her first," Remy said as he pulled him away.
"We'll give you a chance to talk to her," Git also said to Emile.
"All right, all right," Emile calmed down.
Out of the sudden, Desiree was right next to Remy and Emile. "Thank you guys so much, for staying well while I wasn't with you."
Remy and Emile both hugged their mother. "Don't leave us again, mom." Emile said and hugged very pleasingly.
"Oh, I won't, honey. It's gonna be alright. I will never leave this place." Desiree replied with a smooth, silky voice.
"I'm glad that I finally met you, mom." Remy also hugged Desiree tightly.
"I know, sweetie, I know." Desiree tapped Remy's head.
A/N: I really wanted to make a story about Remy's mother, and I wanted to make it emotional.
