Chapter 8: The Surprise
Alastor woke up early and made cheesy omelets for everyone. He already knew what they all liked in it, so he didn't ask. Once everyone was up and ready and seated they all gawked that not only he made huge omelets but had their favorite side dishes with it.
Charlie practically had stars in her eyes. But Vaggie thought it was suspicious.
“What’s with that look my dear?” Alastor asked Vaggie as he hummed happily.
“What’s going on, Radio Demon?” Vaggie shot back. “I know you’re hiding something.”
“Patience, Vaggitha, patience.” Alastor replied simply. Vaggie looked dumbstruck. Alastor NEVER called her by her first name. Unless he was either messing with her because she irritated him, or something big was going to happen.
They all ate in silence, some more uncomfortable than the happy couple. And once everything was done, Alastor, without a thought, poofed the dishes into the sink. His smile was more eager. Which had everyone on edge. After that he promptly requested that all the spirits meet downstairs to share some good news.
“Ok. Seriously. What the He- heck is going on? Alastor is being creepier than usual.” Angel tried asking Janette.
Janette giggled. "You just have to wait and see~ All you have to know for now is that I'm involved~" she laughed at his sulky pout.
He reluctantly slunk to the living room where everyone else was gathering, much to many spirits unease. On the other hand, someone tapped on Janette’s shoulder. When she turned around, she found it was Anna.
"Anna!!! You made it! I'm so proud of you! I wouldn't want you to miss this for the world!" She hugged her tightly and then pointed to where Selene was with a happy smile.
“I’m so glad to finally be free! It’s all thanks to you, Jane, thank you!” She followed to where Janette was pointing. “I’ll go get her so we can hear what you have to say… together..” Her eyes brimmed with tears as she went to finally see her baby girl after all these years.
“She was so happy, she didn’t even know I was here.” Alastor commented. “Are we inviting Theresa and Juniper as well?”
"Not now. They texted me that they had their hands full helping Valroy on a project. I'll invite them over later today when they're not busy. We might go out to meet the rest of my friends to celebrate. Hope you don't mind? And do you want to come?" She asked curiously.
“I don’t mind at all! And I’ll come if you like me too. I know some people like to get away from the chaos on occasion and I’m the manifestation of much of that.” He chuckled light heartedly.
She giggled. Then she leaned into him and whispered, "You proved that a few nights ago~ I kinda like it~." She kissed his cheek.
He chuckled again. “I’d love to show you more, sometime~” He purred. He looked to the living room. “Shall we get this show on the road then? Everyone is waiting~!”
She giggled and playfully swatted him in the chest. "Yes. Let's do this." She intertwined her fingers with his and walked to the living room. The separation of the factions was evident.
"For those who don't know me, I'm the new caretaker of the mansion. My Aunt Elenore gave it to me in her will. And, yes, I can see and hear you as well. I'm a physical medium. My name is Janette Daweson. Granddaughter of Maria Daweson. It's nice to finally meet you. And don't worry about the others in the room, they won't hurt you. I'll make sure no one is hurt during this gathering." Janette announced.
A man in his late 50s to early 60s gave her a scurchinzing look. “So you’re Maria’s brat eh?”
Alastor growled. “Behave Frank.”
The old man tried to glare back, but he couldn’t hold his gaze long. “Damn Radio Demon..” He grumbled.
Janette placed a comforting hand on Alastor to calm him down.
"Yes, I am one of Maria's kin. But compared to my siblings or Aunt Elenore's children, I was taught by my grandmother to be respectful of the spirits… even if they acted like a gigantic prick." She smirked good naturedly at him.
“Burn!” Miles called to which Denali started giggling. At the ages of 18 and 19 they were technically considered adults… even if they didn’t act like it sometimes. Denali and Miles were African American slaves at one point, Denali was short and thin, deathly thin she probably would have died of starvation if other circumstances hadn’t come into play, with thick, curly light brown hair that poofed out erratically around her and warm brown eyes. She wore a thick cotton dress with an apron, most of it ripped. Miles’ shirt and pants were in no better condition. He was equally skinny and short for his age with short light brown hair and darker brown eyes than his sister.
Alastor shook his head, releasing an amused huff. “That would be Denali and Miles. They are siblings, Denali being the older of the two.” He explained.
Janette smiled at the two. "It's nice to meet you two. You as well Frank. Who else do we have?"
“I-I am A-Aiden. It-it’s n-nice t-to m-m-meet you!”
"You as well. I want to ask about that stutter but I think that maybe it's a touchy subject?"
“I-It’s uh y-y-yeah i-it’s f-fine. I-I w-was e-e-electrocut-ted t-to d-death… s-so I’m s-stuck w-with i-it.” He shrugged. “N-no b-biggie.”
“Aiden is a hard man to bring down. One of those more positive souls.” Alastor hummed.
"I see! That's good to know! Who else?" Janette eagerly asked.
Avery stepped up to bat, with her friend in tow. Said friend laughed at this. “I guess that’d be us! I’m Justice, and this is-”
“Avery! Nice to meet ya!” She held her hand out for Janette to shake. Justice nearly laughed again at her friend’s enthusiasm.
Janette shook her hand gently. "It's very nice to meet you. Hope we get along in the future. Who's next?"
Sawyer shrugged. “Guess I’ll go. Sawyer, Sawyer Emerson. A pleasure to meet you.”
"The pleasure is all mine. You look like you might've been in Aunt Elenore's time when she was a bit younger?" Janette deduced judging by his formal suit attire.
“Ah yes. We were close friends actually, when I was alive. At one point I’d even thought of marrying her.” He laughed quietly. “It was short lived though. Diabetes is a pain.”
"Oh I'm so sorry… I'm sure you would've made her happy… her husband wasn't exactly… pleasant, to be around. It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if he ended up in Hell." Janette replied bitterly at the end as brief memories of him weren't the best.
Alastor’s smile had grown and he looked like he was thinking of fond memories… of how he tortured that man when he died and went to Hell.
“Ah, yes… so I’ve heard. Maria and Elenore hadn’t found my item until AFTER the bastard died. It’s a shame really, I wanted to haunt the shit out of him, pardon my french.”
Michelle peaked out from behind AngelDust. She looked at him curiously. "But that's not French…?" She asked him with a head tilt.
Angel, Alastor, AND Husk were giving warning glares. “Not. Around. The. Kids.”
“It’s an adult expression, sweetheart.” Angel chuckled at her question. “Just don’t ever repeat that, ok?”
"Okay!" She chirped.
Janette chuckled at the situation. "Anyone one else before we move on to our newest residents?"
Reed and Rowan step up, pulling Emery along with them. “I’m not ready though…”
“Come on Emery, we are the last three, we should just get this over with” Reed reasoned.
Rowan sighed. “Heya. Names Rowan… don’t mind those two, Emery has a fairly low self esteem that Reed’s been trying to help him through.” Rowan explained.
Janette smiled symptomatically. "It's ok we all have our moments, it's nice to meet you boys." Janette was secretly planning that if she was going to have more kids or not, she'd give them all a chance to be reborn.
"Okay. Now for our new guests. Can you come here for a moment?" Janette asked gently as she looked at a shy Michelle.
Michelle peaked out and quietly signaled her siblings to come out.
Twelve more younger spirits came out. The oldest being looked about the age of his mid teens and the youngest was Michelle and her twin. All of the children were blonde with blue and green eyes. They were mostly pairs of triplets.
Starting off was the oldest. "Hi… the name's Anthony… I'm fifteen. And this is my fourteen year old younger sister, Bethany." The young blonde waves shyly to everyone. "Of course you met Michelle, the youngest being ten years old. This is her older twin sister, Lana." A girl that almost looked identical to Michelle but had shorter hair and an inch or so taller went to her sister and held her hand.
"Carl, Damien, Elijah are the first set of triplets they're thirteen." He pointed to the three boys with varying sets of curly hair and freckles. "Flacia, Gloria, Harria are the next set of triplets of twelve years of age." He pointed to the girls with side and regular pigtails in braids. "And the last three are the last set of triplets, Issac, Jesse, and Kyle at age eleven." He pointed out last to the preteens who had various styles of short hair.
"Thanks for welcoming us to your home Miss Janette." Anthony said with a slight bow. He then instructed the others to do the same.
"Thank you Miss Janette." They in unison replied in a bow and curtsy.
Janette felt a little overwhelmed at that moment but took it in stride. "I-It's nice to meet you all. And I'm truly sorry for what happened to you and your family and church. If it would help, the police caught the terrorists and are on death row as we speak."
The children broke out into whispers of "Really?!" Or "I wonder who tipped the popo?" Anthony smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Miss Janette. That helps a lot more than you know."
"Well, now that we have introductions out of the way. There's some news that I want to share with you all!" Janette said excitedly.
Alastor’s smile increased tenfold, showing his own excitement. “Finally..” He muttered to himself, showing that he was unusually impatient as well.
“Well, if the demon's face is anything to go by, I’m not sure I wanna know.” Frank grumbled. Anna gave the old man a disapproving look as Selene gave him the bird behind her mom.
“Selene you better not have done what I think you did.” Selene froze.
“Sorry mama..”
“I’m sorry Janette, Master, please do continue.” Anna asked, trying to keep her fears at bay.
Janette giggled. "Well…" she said hesitantly. "In about nine months or so… we're going to have a little one running around." She said with a happy smile while putting her hand and Alastor's on her stomach.
Bran was still trying to wrap his mind around the new thirteen. “Yer bringin MORE inta th’ house?!”
Frank groaned and Jackson smiled. Anna grew visibly excited. “That’s wonderful news! Congratulations!”
The demons all stared with mixed expressions. Charlie was beyond happy, Vaggie was shocked, Husk and Angel kinda sorta saw it coming.
"Thank you all. But to answer your question though Bran. Both yes AND no." Janette smiled teasingly.
Jackson gave an inquiring tilt of his head. “Aye, what do ya mean?” Bran asked out loud.
"Well… what are your beliefs in reincarnation?" She tipped off.
“O-oh! Um, like the, uh, second ch-chance at, uh, life?” Lial asked. “I-I always, um, wanted that, em, that chance… t-to live, um, longer.”
Janette smiled brightly. "That's right Lial. And since I told Alastor about how I was expecting, we decided to pick the first out of a few, to be that lucky one. And we decided…. That Lial…" Janette looked lovingly at him. Like a parent to a child. "... Would you like this opportunity?"
“M-me..?” Tears sprung into his eyes.
“Yes you.” Alastor answered warmly. “If you want.”
“I- OF COURSE!” He ran over to his parents to be, clinging to them. “Th-thank you! Thank you!”
Janette kissed the top of his messy brown hair. "Now I don't know what the laws are for this to happen where Charlie's from. But I'm sure that, with the right plan in mind, she can pull something for our plans for you all here?"
“Naturally.” Charlie smiled brightly. She wanted to be squealing and running around the house right now, but the spirits were already on edge. “Let me handle it and Lial will be yours!” ‘Alette baby!!!!!!!!’ she thought excitedly.
“You’d said he was one of a few choices… Who are the others?” Rosaline asked.
"Well… for me and Al. For now. Three others." Janette replied.
“Three for you and Master Alastor? You believe that someone else will be bearing children?”
"Well actually, if you count Lial, then it'll be four. And…. Depending on how things go for Husk and Angel, maybe more. That alright with you boys~?" Janette smiled to the bewildered demons.
“Oh w-wow… if I had THIRTEEN kids with..” Angel trailed off, short circuiting.
Husk took a glance at Ben and Sarah before hiding his face with a groan.
"Now I didn't say anything about WHO. Now did I~?" She giggled.
The boys groaned again as Alastor looked at Vaggie. “Well, as world dominating as you assumed, Vaggitha?”
“...Maybe, he will be YOUR spawn.” She replied, annoyed.
“And Janette’s.” Alastor reminded her.
Janette giggled. "I already have a few candidates for the ones with Al and me. Want to know?" She said with excitement.
“YES!”
“NO!”
The girlfriends look at each other, Charlie’s puppy dog eyes quickly persuading Vaggie. “Fine..” Vaggie groaned while Charlie silently cheered.
Janette tried to contain the smile that threatened to break her face. "Well, for the second born… I'd like… Anna to be our first daughter."
There was clear excitement in the woman’s gaze but… she looked at Selene. “But my daughter..”
Janette smiled reassuringly at her. "That's what I was going to get at. Since twins run in my family, I was going to have Selene and Atticus to be siblings."
Atticus squeaked as Selene cheered loudly.
“YES!!!” Selene jumped. And Atticus ran towards Janette to hug her and Alastor.
"But now it's up to God and fate, on whether you all will either go on to Heaven or be reborn to someone else." Janette smiled happily.
“CAT-MAN, CAT-MAN, CAT-MAN! CAN I BE REBORN TOO?! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?!” Ben begged.
“...”
Husk sighed heavily. “We’ll see kid, we’ll see..” He replied.
As the spirits and demons conversed with each other after the meeting, they went back to their places. "Well now the only hurdle is… my brother's wedding next week… hoo-ray…" Janette replied "excitedly".
“No, don't worry, my dear, I will be with you the whole time.” Alastor reassured. “Shall we get ready to go out with your friends today?”
"We shall!" Janette hooked her arm with his and went to her room to get ready.
A few hours passed and as Janette wore a light blue spring dress Alastor wore his white shirt, red vest and black slack pants. Of course being in his human disguise and having red tinted little glasses.
"Alright. Juniper just texted me and said that she's already here. So shall we?" Janette chirped in excitement.
“I must say, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve been out with company! I’m excited!” Alastor replied.
"And you'll finally meet the rest of the group too! I can't wait for you to meet the last four! They're a hoot! Especially the Macamore twins!" Janette said as she grabbed his hand and walked with him towards the door.
“Oh? Other four?” Alastor's curiosity immediately peaked.
"Yep! The Macamore twins, Evan, and good ol' Speedy." She chirped as they exited the house.
They saw Juniper open the front seat from inside the truck. Alastor, being the gentleman, let her ride upfront and closed her door. While he took the backseat. As they drove about fifteen minutes and arrived at Juniper's favorite diner, The Frying Pan, they were greeted at the entrance by Valroy, Evalyn, Percia, and Theressa. But there were also four new faces. Two younger males that look to be in their final years of college that looked identical.
'Definitely the Macamore twins that Janette was talking about.' Alastor thought to himself as he saw a tall, lanky, and scruffy looking brunette that was beside a young looking shorter male that had crazy styled purple hair.
"Welcome! We just got our table! We're just waiting on you three!" Valroy shouted as he waved them down in the parking lot.
As the three met up with them, they were all escorted by the waitress to a couple of cojoined tables in the back of the room. As the waitress gave them their menus, she left for them to decide.
"Alright everyone! Today is a big day! I, along with a few of you, have completed another big project that has paid me with enough money to pay for a king's feast and then some! Pick out whatever you like! It's on me!" Valroy declared happily to his friends, to which they cheered. "Also! There has been other exciting news! But before we get to that, let me introduce the latest addition to the paranormal family, Alastor!" Valroy gestured to the tall brunette in red.
“Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to meet my lovely Doe’s friends!” Al greeted with a smile and a tilt of his head. “Thank you for that wonderful introduction, Valroy, it’s nice to see you and the girls again!”
"Pleasure's all mine! Let me introduce you to the last four of our group! They recently just got back from their band tour in California. They're all vocals to different songs, but the bassist is the lanky fellow with the attitude of an angry biker. But don't let his demeanor set you off. He's a softie on the inside~." Said "softie" gave him the double bird and stuck his tongue out at Valroy with a glare. He then turned his attention to Alastor. "The name's Evan Stokes. Nice to meet you. You Janette's boyfriend?"
“Indeedy I am! A pleasure, Evan.” Alastor held his hand out for the biker(?) to shake. No deals involved.
He shook it with a firm grip. It wasn't tight or anything, just affirmative. "The one next to him with the purple hair is his adopted younger brother. He doesn't really have a normal name. And quite prefers it that way." Valroy pointed out.
"Hey! It's nice to meet big sis Janie's new bea the name's Speedy, bio parent's gave me the name. They were a bit of the modern hippies that OD'd when I was small. Now I hang out with my big bro and my brohams while touring. I play the drums. Stage name is "Little Horror". Bro's name is "Nightveil" And the Mackie twins are the "Shepard Duo" More specifically "Blackout and Mutt" I think you can see the difference with which one is which judging by their hair and clothing styles." He smirked at the annoyed twins.
At first Alastor was seriously confused about his speech patterns. Aside from that he mostly understood what Speedy was saying and looked at the twins to take note. He also noticed that their soul scents were also different. He wouldn’t have too much trouble distinguishing them.
“Quite informative. It’s nice to meet you Speedy.”
"The last two are of course The Macamore twins. Terrance or "Blackout" and his younger brother Trevor or "Mutt". Yes they are identical twins but they distinguish themselves through their personalities and preferred styles."
Terrance, who had a short black colored buzzcut and wore purple and black rock clothing and had multiple ear and lip piercings and wore black eyeliner. He wasn't as punk as Evan was but he had a certain emo rock to him. A more excitable guy but definitely had some maturity to him. Not much though. He two finger saluted to Alastor as he nudged his brother. Who by comparison was more docile than his brother. His hair was semi long and fudge brown with black highlights. He only had a few piercings to his ears and one piercing each on his nose and lip. And also wore eyeliner. But not as thickly as his brother or Evan. He wore a white t-shirt black denim pants and a brown leather jacket. He gave off a more standoffish aura and was definitely the more reserved and mature one. He gave a polite curt nod in greeting to Alastor.
“Hello Terrance and Trevor.” He made a guess on which was which as he said their names. “This is a lovely group of friends you have here, My Doe~” He purred to Janette after introductions were all done.
She blushed and playfully swatted his chest. Valroy giggled at their display of affection.
"Now as far as big news goes, me and my company are doing more renovations on historic buildings in Louisiana. And if lucky, outside of state! Juniper here has a new side job of taking care of a… exotic animal for Janette. Evalyn has been doing more and more fashion shows for Vogue recently. Percia here has actually invested in her own tech and weapon business and will start her business up shortly after her two weeks of resignation with the electronic company is up. The band of boys over here are going on another tour in less than five months to Canada! And their album is going to be released by their music company. Theressa and Juniper also seem to have found love interests as well. And with Alastor's cohorts as well~. Theressa's business is also flourishing with Evalyn's and my help with promoting her work. And finally we come to Janette. My dear friend, what has been up with you lately? You also mentioned some good news but were very vague about it." Valroy curiously questioned.
Alastor’s smile widened as he pulled Janette a bit closer. “Do you want to say, or shall I?” ‘I need to talk to Theressa later.’ He reminded himself.
"I'll do it." She whispered to him. "Well… In about nine months or so… I'm going to be a mom!" Alastor nuzzled into Janette. “And I, the father.”
The table went silent. But then Valroy slowly clapped which then evolved to the whole table cheering in congratulations. "This definitely calls for celebration! But no champagne for you Janette." There were a few giggles shared.
Alastor gave a chaste kiss to Janette’s lips before turning to Theressa. "My dear, after the celebration could we talk in private? It's concerning Angeldust and his work."
Theressa made a confused and concerned look but nodded silently.
All throughout the night the group cheered, whooped, and celebrated their new ventures. By the time everyone was done, about half of them were wasted. Minus the deer couple, Theressa, Valroy and Juniper.
"Welp! I'm going to contact their emergency numbers for other people that know them to take them home. And tell them to take an Uber… I'll be right back." Juniper replied as she and Valroy got to calling their friends' friends.
Theressa quietly went up to Alastor. "So Alastor… What about Angel's situation?" She nervously asked.
“He’s cutting off ties with Valentino and has asked for my help. I’d like you to look through this and tell me your thoughts.” He held the contract out to her.
She gently grabbed the paper and looked it over carefully. "He'll try to manipulate this in a few spots, but other than that. You really mean it? T-that he, Angel, wants to go that far for me to risk his freedom and actually settle?"
“He does, my dear. Angel loves you, it’s funny really. I’ve never seen him like this with a woman before.” Alastor chuckled. “He even wants to participate in the Magne’s Blessing so you two can be together.”
Theressa's eyes watered with emotions that she thought that she'd never feel again. "I-I can write down the parts w-where it needs fixing…"
“Feel free to, it’s your guys’ contract, after all.” Alastor agreed. “I can’t wait to see Valentino's face when he sees this..” He chuckled darkly. “And naturally, as the contract says, you are both under my protection. He can’t do a damned thing unless he wants to die too.”
Theressa joined in the dark chuckling but was more quiet about it. She, along with Alastor's magic, helped to rearrange the contract. She sighed in satisfaction and gave it back to him. He looked it over and his smile widened evilly.
“Well then! Now that that fun bit is over! Today was quite fun, it’s been a long while since I rode in an automobile! And this place screams somewhere that Juniper would hang out often. I like it.” At this point Al was just trying to pass the time while they waited for the others to return. “Oh. And how do you feel about raising thirteen orphaned spirit children, Angel adores them.”
Theressa nearly choked on the air that she was breathing. "P-p-pardon?!"
“Just warning on what you may be getting into, though Angel only just learned of the other twelve himself, the youngest is the one he truly adores and knowing him, he won’t leave the others behind~” Alastor half teased.
"Oh dear God… I need to sit down." Theressa sat on a nearby bench and tried to attempt to grasp the situation. She then looked up at him. "So… thirteen?"
“Their parents were Catholic. From what Angel gathered, they were murdered in a terrorist attack.. Those poor dears..” Al sighed.
Theressa's eyes widened in horror. "Oh God… how old is the youngest to the oldest?"
“The oldest, Anthony, is fifteen. The youngest, Michelle, is ten. Most are triplets. Michelle is a twin.” Alastor replied.
Theressa was still trying to wrap her head around the situation. "I-I heard from Janette earlier that her child was going to be one of the spirits that inhabit the house…" she gulped nervously and blushed. "Does Angel want to do the same thing…?"
“He has not said, he probably wants to talk to you about it first if he does. But I will say he has been a good father to that little girl.” Al’s thoughts wandered for a second before he snapped back to the task at hand.
"Well it's a lot to think about… if… we can really be together…. And stay that way… maybe…" she spoke with uncertainty.
“You have doubts?” Alastor asked, curious.
"Well… I don't know whether you're aware, but childbirth is a lot harder, strenuous, and painful than what a man goes through when he can't get IT down." She eyes him with narrowed eyes to which he uncomfortably shuffled to. "But that's just one of the worries that I have." She sighed.
“I-I see.. Are any of them of demonic origin? I may be able to ease your mind in that regard at least.” Alastor didn’t know much about human society now, or females, or anything else really. Only criminal activity and his life now.
"Well I maybe nervous about Valentino and his goons trying to find ways to get the children. But there's also OTHER worries. Like what if the pregnancy is painful and difficult or won't carry to term? And there's also the fact that my business, along with Valroy's assistance, is the only income that I have to my name! I… I can't… *sigh*... I can't ask my family for money. Even though they're all about helping each other involving family, there's still the glaringly obvious fact that, no matter how much they love me, they also hold money on a high pedestal as well. And if I ask them for money, not only am I going to be in debt, but I'll wind up working for my family again if I CAN'T pay them back. Living arrangements, food, electricity, clothes, devices, toys, schooling, and just the fear of the unknown of worrying over every little thing that might harm a baby…. That's a lot to handle on a meager wage without applying for a loan. But basically, all of them fall under the category of money. And my family… they practically have connections to all the good loaning banks and such. If I apply for a loan, they're going to know. And then all bloody Hell will break loose." She fretted as she explained her worries.
Alastor tilted his head. They were valid thoughts. Valentino was a problem he could take care of, but he couldn’t ease her fears about carrying and caring for a child. Perhaps Angel could, but he wasn’t an Angel.. “The money won’t be a problem, as they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Angeldust is quite capable of paying the expenses, from his old line of work, and from the hotel.” He hummed. “Has Angel told you about his work before Valentino?”
"No… I don't think he has…" she said carefully.
“Ah. That would make sense, he and his family are far from close. Well then, all I can say is that IF my guess is correct in terms of your family, you and Angeldust have a LOT more in common than I initially thought.”
"Wait… did Janette… tell you…?" She said with suspicion in her tone.
He tilted his head confused. “Tell me what?” He asked with genuine curiosity. “Janette hasn’t said too much in terms of any of your pasts, if that’s what you mean. I am merely making a guess based on information provided and how it lines up with another demon I know.” He explained.
She searched his eyes for any deception. He either had a really good poker face or he was telling the truth. She took it with a grain of salt and just went with it.
“If Janette is anything, it’s loyal. Whatever it is she is keeping secret for you, she’ll keep it. I won’t pry either, even if my curiosity is killing me.” He chuckled. “I’ll probably learn if and when your judgment day arrives~” He teased.
She narrowed her eyes in a "Really?" motion. But thought for a moment. Janette was loyal to a fault and if she DID tell anyone, then she must've done so for a good reason.
"Alright I'll believe you… for now. And as for everything else… let's take it one step at a time." Theressa sighed.
Alastor was about to respond but then Juniper cut in.
"Okay! Our wasted friends have their rides. So let's get you two home."
“Great! We had just finished up anyways, thank you for the lovely chat, Theressa!” Alastor gave his usual grin. “Would you ladies like to stay for a while and talk with certain individuals~?”
They both blushed. But Juniper was the only one daring enough to smirk cockily. "Hell yeah! He still owes me a night to spend at my house!" Theressa shook her head exhaustedly.
Alastor just laughed. As the three of them, plus one driving behind them, drove back to the house, Janette and Alastor shared the backseat and cuddled in sweet bliss.
