October 18th.

"What do you think about this one, babe?"

"I love it! The closet is the perfect size! This could be your section, and the rest could be mine!" Fiona smiles.

"It's nice! You sure it isn't too big for us? Are you planning on having company?" Joe chuckles.

"Of course not! But we need rooms for our babies!" Fiona says with a smile.

"Babies? Fiona.. are you.. are you pregnant?"

"No! I meant our fur babies!" Fiona laughs.

"Oh my gosh! Fiona, you really had me there." He chuckles.

"Heh, Nope! Sorry! You're only my daddy! I'm not sharing you." Fiona smiles and wraps her arms around him.

"That's just fine, my beautiful little Babydoll." Joe smiles down to her.

Fiona giggles and gently rubs her nose against his.
Joe then kisses her lips softly.

They were soon interrupted by a woman clearing her throat.

"Oh! We're sorry." Joe smiles. "We'll take it!"

***

One week later.

"Are you nervous, Fiona?"

Fiona scoffs. "No. Delia should be nervous."

"How do you think she'll react?"

"I don't know." Fiona shrugs. "I can't wait to see the look on her face!" She laughs.

"Fionaaa."

"What?!  She hates me!"

"You're still her mother, Fiona.  She loves you!"

"Whatever." Fiona rolls her eyes.

Fiona's black Jimmy Choo heels clicked all the way up to the door of the academy.  Fiona let herself in with the use of magic, Joe following behind.

"Delia!" She shouts. "Mommy's home!
.. And I've brought Daddy!" Fiona smiles and turns to Joe.

"You are just adorable, ain't ya?"

"I sure am!" Fiona walks towards him.

Joe chuckles, then wraps his arms around Fiona, and kisses her lips.

"Fiona." She heard the sound of her daughter's voice.

"Hello, my baby girl!" Fiona turned to her with a smile.

"Wait.. What is he doing here?  You're.. you-"

"Promised to kill your loving mother?" Fiona says with a smile still on her face. "Yeah well.. that was a lie to get out of this place.
  This is Joe.. mommy's new Daddy." Fiona smiles at Joe.

"What?"

"The man is in love with me, and has been for years!  Thank you so much for freeing him!  I haven't had good lovin' like that in.. well, Ever!  So thank you, Delia.  Thank you for making mommy oh so happy!"

"Is that why you're here?  Just to brag about your new dirty sex life?  Well does he know about the kind of person you are?  Does he know you're a killer?!"

"Honey!" Fiona laughs. "Joe knows about a lot more than you do!  Charles was just one of many.  He wasn't the first, and he won't be the last!"

"You're disgusting!"

"May I say something?" Joe asks.

"No!" Both Fiona and Cordelia say in unison.

"Listen!  All I want to do is apologize to you, Cordelia."

"For lying?"

".. Sweetie, I love your mother.  That was my only way out.  I hope you can forgive me, and we can start fresh."

Cordelia crosses her arms and makes a face.
"No!" She answers.

"Delia, be nice."

"No, mom!  Why should I?"

"What's going on in here?  Oh!
.. Fiona." Myrtle glares.

"Myrtle Snow.  I thought I smelled something foul."

"What are you doing here?"

"Can't a mother visit her own daughter?"

"She's not your daughter anymore.  You didn't want her!"

"Yeah, you abandoned me!"

"I sent you to an elite boarding school, boo hoo hoo." Fiona mocks Cordelia.

Cordelia rolls her eyes and turns away from her mother.

"You've already said what you came here to say, now leave!  Run away with him and start your own perfect little family!"

"Oh please!  You think I want more of you running around?" Fiona chuckles. "I'll settle for the one brat I  already have."

"Fiona.."

"What, Joe?"

"Don't be so harsh.  She's just a child!"

"Joseph.. have I ever told you about Cordelia's birth?"

"No."

"Well let me tell you.  FORTY EIGHT HOURS OF PAIN!  I went through two days of labor pains so she could cross her arms and roll her eyes at me.
  Oh yes!  And attempt to kill me!"

"Every mother goes through pain.  Maybe just lay off the hate a bit."

Fiona gives Joe an evil glare.
"Who are you right now?"

"I told you, Fiona.  I'm not a monster."

Fiona rolls her eyes and turns to Cordelia with a fake smile. "Give mommy kiss.  We're leaving for Europe on Monday."

Cordelia just stands there staring at her mother.

Fiona walks over, grabs her cheeks, and kisses her forehead.  Cordelia moves back and furrows her brows.

"Goodbye, Delia."

Cordelia doesn't say a word.

"Goodbye Fiona." Myrtle says.

"Die, trash." Fiona walks past her, and out the door.
