Thanks maudie99o for being my co writer on this story💖
Drea sighs quietly sitting on her bed with Nala lying close beside her. It was early morning before even Georgie was up. It was early and she could already tell today was not a good day. She glanced at her calendar and saw why.
January 13th… today would have been her youngest sister's seijinshiki or her coming of age party. It was a great event, granted Drea pretty much hated hers, but it meant you were finally an adult after the ceremony and it was the biggest celebration of their life. Her sister never would see adulthood, never would get to wear a fancy kimono as she enjoyed her seijinshiki, and it was because Drea hadn't reacted in time.
Drea just sighs, shoving those thoughts down as she gets up. She might as well do something to help this morning and although she wasn't the best cook she could still make things.
She looks in the refrigerator grabbing some eggs and deciding to make them her own way today as she goes back to her room grabbing one of her old pans she hadn't used since she started living with Georgie, and started cooking.
……..
Drea heard a noise from another room allowing herself to turn around and listen for another moment. It sounded like… crying… Drea takes the food off the stove and moves quickly, following the noise to Eden's room and opening the door quietly.
"Eden what's wrong?" Drea asks quietly sitting on the town size bed gently Eden just looks at her for a moment before quickly moving to Drea crawling into her lap. Drea just tries not to tense up at weight in her lap
"Auntie Georgie is gonna die! Aunty Georgie is gonna die! Eden cries out as Drea sighs she probably had the dream about the alternate reality. She then hugs Eden closer to her and snuggles as close as she can.
"Shh, it's okay lil girl that will never happen. I won't let it happen. I promise." Drea promised although she didn't know if she would be able to keep it. Especially since she was feeling down today anyway.
"Auntie Drea I no wan you or Georgie to die. You my family , I love you! No can lose you." Eden rambles and Drea just looks at the child in shock did she just call her aunt. Drea felt happy, but worried at the same time. She was scared last time she let someone this close they got killed.
"It's okay, everything will be fine." Drea reassures as she sighs getting comfortable. After a little bit Eden falls back asleep and Drea heads back to the kitchen to finish cooking.
……..
"Good morning D, what smells so good." Georgie asks curiously as she wakes up half an hour later. Drea didn't reply, stuck in her own mind as she cooked the omelet, sometimes seasoning it with a bit of spices. "D?" Georgie questions louder as Drea quickly snaps her head back.
"Oh um… sorry I was just um… absorbed in cooking. " Drea stutters out as Georgie gives her a confused look as Drea wasn't like this. She was always confident in her replies and never stuttered. Her voice also sounded more breathy than usual as if she had been crying.
"Drea are you okay?" Georgie asks as Drea tenses up and just nods. Putting the omelet she had made on a plate and handing it to Georgie as she grabs hers from the microwave. She would make Eden one a little later as the girl slept longer than noth adults combined at this point since the two adults barely ever sleep.
"I'm fine, just tired but I shouldn't be complaining," ' Drea says, using her fork to poke some of the egg and eat it. It tasted just like how her mother used to make it. And it tasted very good mainly because she hadn't had it in forever.
"Okay… oh wow Drea this omelet tastes amazing." Georgie says, causing Drea to smile slightly as she finishes up hers and heads to clean the plates and start another one for Eden.
That's when Georgie got a phone call. "It's Ben, I've got to take this" she announced to Drea who nodded as she started Eden's omelet. Once Georgie was done she came back with the gun and hair up.
"Ben had a calling and Olive is in school right now. Would you mind watching Eden for a bit?" Georgie asks as Drea nods she really didn't like being left alone with a child especially one that she was beginning to love , but it sounds like she didn't have much of a choice.
"I don't mind at all."
……….
Aunt Drea, where's Aunt Georgie?" Eden questions tiredly as she sits at her place at the table. Drea just smiles, getting used to the idea of being an aunt. Nala just wags her tail as she knows Drea's full story, and she was glad that Drea was letting down her very tough walls slowly, and feeling more at home.
"She's out on a mission, but she'll be okay kid. Hey, what do you say to watch that new Spirit movie?" Drea asks as Eden looks at her and slowly nods. Drea just grabs her phone and hooks it up to the TV. As Eden finishes up her food and runs over excitedly flopping on the couch as Drea sat down with her.
As the movie went on Eden slowly leant closer to Drea until she was on her lap again. This time Drea didn't complain or tense up although she was still quite a bit uncomfortable with all this. People she loved were always in danger and Eden was already in danger; she couldn't make it more dangerous
……....
Georgie came out about three-fourths a way through the movie and smiled; it had been a rough case, but seeing her niece and partner watching a movie immediately brightened her and Mira up.
"Hey guys, I'm back." Georgie says as Drea Drea looks up from the movie and gently pets Nala. Eden didn't even glance at Georgie, too absorbed in the movie. Causing both adults to chuckle quietly as Georgie sat on the other couch.
Drea just sighs looking at the child sitting in her lap. And then to Nala who nods looking at the girl. She then heard a voice. "Let it go sis, they need you, all of you" Drea didn't know if that counted as a calling or if she was going crazy, but either way she understood what it meant.
Georgie needed her. Eden, her niece, needed her. She couldn't be afraid anymore; she couldn't dwell on what happened. Because Frea would never let it happen again.
