Ch. 42: A Few Years Pass... Guess Who Lives with You Now

Five years pass. Now Cindy is six years old. She had grown fond and fascinated in a lot of anime shows. Of course, with her being just a kid, you and Barnaby only allowed her kid-friendly anime. Pop Team Epic, not really being intended for children was still alright. She did start watching that one and got into it when she was just one-year-old.

Fantoccio has his own place. It took a year-in-a-half for him to move out, but he did it. It's because a girl who had moved from France met him and took a liking to him. She let him live with her. They've been together since. They got together four years ago.

Billie is now twenty-one years old and out on her own. Scratch that... she's living with you guys now. You and Barnaby let her stay with you guys until she makes up enough money to get her own apartment. Besides, you guys live in a mansion. There's plenty of room. With the gloomy look of the manor, you were like the Addams Family of Goatshire.

Billie still has her crush on you after six years. She was overjoyed staying with you guys to feel that close to you. She knows you're a married woman, despite Billie herself now being old enough to at least receive a kiss from you.

She's changed a bit too. She's still herself, but she's picked up on a lot of your habits. Weed and all. Aristotle's aware of this, but he knows she is a grown woman now and can make her own decisions. Billie will still go and see him and her dad Arthur. Arthur told her that she gets it all from him. It wasn't just YOU influencing Billie with what you do. 

You did however corrupt Barnaby quite a bit with your habits. You got him to get drunk, get high off of weed. Even a little acid tablet Fantoccio got him. This was all when Cindy was two when this happened. Barnaby was freaking out. Fantoccio just laughed. This had all been what Barnaby had experienced since he's been married to you. He doesn't mind though. He loves you and Cindy more than anything.

Cindy is up in her room right now. She's playing with her Barbie dolls. Barbie is a fox lady with red fur and blonde hair. She's always had that. Cindy is wearing a pink shirt with Pikachu on it. It's short sleeve because she's an owl like Barnaby and needs room for her wings.

She's acting out her Barbies and she makes Barbie talk by saying, "Ken. Did you put the dishes away?" She picks up Ken, who's a wolf guy. (No, it's not Dutch) She tries her deepest voice for Ken and says, "Oops. Sorry, honey. I was sidetracked. Work was hard yesterday and I ended up crashing out in our bed." "Oh, it's okay Ken. I understand. That's just how things can be sometimes." "Hey, Barbie. Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look? Hoo hoo! Always look." "Awe, Ken. You're such a gentlemen. Kiss me." 

She puts the Barbie doll down and she picks up a younger Barbie doll, which is a mouse lady. She makes it to where the younger Barbie breaks into their house and she says, "Stop! Don't kiss her, Ken. I love you. She doesn't deserve to have you!" 

She drops the younger Barbie doll and picks Barbie up getting Barbie to say, "Gasp. Darcy! What are you doing here?!" She gets Darcy to say, "Ken is mine, meanie. Yes, I called you meanie." She gets both Barbie and Ken to gasp. She gets Ken to say, "Darcy. You don't mean that. That's a very bad word to be calling Barbie. She is NOT a meanie..." And so on. 

She makes the Barbie and Darcy doll fight and she gets Darcy to say, "He's mine, wicked witch!" "In your dreams, you silly girl!" "He's mine!" "Mine!" "Miiine!" She drops the Darcy doll and she gets Ken to walk to Barbie, getting him to say, "Oh, Barbie. I'm sorry about her. I saw her at a coffee shop and she told me she wants to be my girlfriend. I said no and she screamed. Now she came after us." "Oh, Ken. It's okay now. Let's take her to jail." 

She hears a stifled laugh and she looks back to see you in the doorway. You have slightly shorter hair, now. It's more medium length from the last time. Cindy sees you and she says, "Hi, mama." You say, "Hi, baby. Come downstairs. Come get your dinner." She gets up and she says, "Okay, mama." 

She walks to you and you pick her up. You look at her and she looks at you. You smile and you say, "My silly girl. Fantoccio and Bijou would approve of your little acting." You walk off and you take Cindy with you. You head downstairs.

You see Barnaby approach you guys. Cindy smiles and says, "Daddy!" He smiles and says, "Oh hoo hoo. Hi, little one." He leans in and he kisses her on the cheek. He says, "You hungry? Mommy made a good dinner for all of us." She smiles and nods. 

He looks at you and he smiles. He says, "Hello, beautiful.~" You smile and you say, "Hey, baby.~" He leans in and kisses you on the lips. You kiss him back. Cindy looks away and says, "Yuck. Old people kissing." You and Barnaby pull away and you both hold back a laugh. You say, "Oh, Cindy. You silly girl." 

Barnaby says, "Oh hoo hoo. I can't believe she starts Kindergarten, tomorrow." You say, "I know. It's like in the blink of an eye, she'll be in college." Barnaby says, "Oh, honey. Come on. Don't remind me of that. She wouldn't be here with us every day." 

He looks at Cindy and he says, "Mommy and I have your backpack ready for you. That Pop Team Epic one." Cindy gasps and she smiles saying, "Yay! I love that show." Barnaby says, "Come, you two. Billie's sitting in the dining room, waiting for us." You all walk towards the dining room.

You get in there and Billie is in there. She lives with you guys for a brief time until she gets her own place. She says, "Hey, guys." Barnaby says, "Hello, Billie." You say, "Man. It's weird seeing a wine glass in your hand, Billie." 

Billie smiles and says, "I mean... I did turn twenty-one just last week." Barnaby says, "And both (Y/N) and I are thirty. I'm finally living past thirty. Hoo hoo." You set Cindy down and you say, "Sit at the table, baby. Sit next to Billie." 

She smiles and says, "Okay, mama. Billie's the best babysitter I could ever have." Billie smiles and says, "Awe. Thanks, hon." Oh, and Billie picked up the whole 'hon' thing from you, too. Now she calls Cindy that at times.

You lean in and you whisper to Barnaby, "Baby. Don't let Cindy suspect that, yet. For her sake." He sighs and he nods. He whispers, "She is going to have to know sooner or later, though. We can't let her live a lie, honey. She needs to know she was conceived while I was a ghost. And she'd turn into one herself when she sneezed." You whisper, "When the time's right." He nods. 

You say, "Come on. Let's sit down and eat." He smiles and nods. You all sit down and you take a lid off of a pot. There's a pot roast with carrots, round potatoes, celery, onions, a bit of gravy in it, etc. Another dish has mashed potatoes in it. Another has peas. Another has dinner rolls.

Barnaby smiles and says, "Oh hoo hoo hoo. Honey, you've outdone yourself. That roast. Mm mm mm. That looks tasty and juicy." You smirk and you lean in and whisper something to him where nobody can hear it. He blushes and you move away, giggling. 

Cindy looks over and says, "What did mommy say to you, daddy?" Barnaby says, "Oh. Um... J-just some bad things that happened at work. Nothing for your innocent earholes to hear, little one." 

Cindy says, "But why did mama giggle?" You say, "Somebody told ME a joke at my workplace, earlier." She says, "Oh, okay." Billie whispers, "Good cover."  You all make plates. You make Cindy's for her. 

You all eat your food. Cindy says, "Mm. Your food's good as always, mama." You smile and you say, "Awe. Thanks, baby doll. Eat up, okay? Get plenty of your nutrients, baby." Billie blushes at your voice and thinks to herself, "Oh man. Just one peck on the lips from (Y/N). I'd have that chance now if Barnaby agrees to it... Never mind. I'm just gonna eat my food." She eats her dinner. 

You look at Billie and you say, "Billie. You alright?" Billie says, "Huh?" She looks at you and she says, "Oh. Y-yeah. I'm good. Thanks, (Y/N)." Cindy says, "I hope school's okay." Barnaby says, "Don't you worry, sweetheart. School's always scary on the first day. I just... hope it's better for YOU once you get to high school." You look at Barnaby with a raised brow. He looks at you and he says, "I'll tell you some other time." You nod. You all eat your dinner.
