“Anyway that’s the story… the papers are officially being processed now and once they are I’ll be officially divorced. Any questions?”
“Uh… I sorta got one Momma…”
“Yes Petie?”
“Does this mean my last names different now?”
Momma giggled softly at that as she patted Petie’s head “Well I’m not sure about the exact legal goings-on behind it but I’m taking my maiden name back for now… so I suppose you could take it as well.” She and James stood in front of the living room couch where Petie, Jules (he was a part of the family now), and Rose sat. She was having a little family meeting to explain what her little trip to Jubilife meant for them all.
“Okay.” Petie said nodding at the suggestion before pausing for a moment and looking to Momma with slight embarrassment “Um…. Momma? What’s your maiden name?” The ursaring gave a good natured laugh and stroked the teddiursa’s ears affectionately “It’s Herrbar sweetie, my maiden name was Herrbar. Which I suppose would make you Petie Herrbar.” She couldn’t suppress a giggle at the look of displeasure on Petie’s face… she’d always felt her maiden name was a bit silly sounding “But don’t worry about it too much.”
“… why not?”
“Simple…” Momma said, smiling to James who smiled back “Because as soon as I’m legally divorced…” the two adults turned back to look at the teens and said as one “We’re going to get married.” They both waited for the reaction… but what they got wasn’t the one they were expecting as Momma found Jules having jumped into her arms as his tail wagged wildly and he looked at her with his innocent puppy eyes.
“Can I be the flower girl?” he asked in the cutest little begging voice Momma had ever heard since toddler Petie had learned how to ask for cookies. Luckily she was use to Jules’s little hobbies by now and just smiled and asked “Are you sure?”
Jules nodded vigorously “Uh huh! Uh huh! I wanna do it! I wanna do it! I get to wear a pretty dress right?” Momma just laughed and rubbed noses with him “Of course you will.” Before looking back to Petie and Rose “Well now I know how Jules feels about this… how about you two?”
Rose just smiled “I kinda saw this coming and I’m all for it!” she cheered, giving a thumbs up. Petie on the other hand didn’t look quite so confident as he stared at his lap. Everyone looked at him, waiting for how he’d react to this news, Finally he looked up and realized everyone was staring at him and promptly blushed furiously before stuttering “U-uh… I-I’m okay with it, really! I-it’s just… it’s a big change…”
“I know…” James said, the abomasnow finally speaking up “Believe me Petie I can understand how big a change this is for you, but I promise you I’ll do everything I can to make it a good one and be the best dad for you I possibly can.” He gave Petie a reassuring pat on the head “Okay?” the teddiursa sat there for a moment blushing before nodding and timidly saying “Um… I’m not sure I can get use to calling somebody dad though…”
James gave a good natured laugh at that as Momma and Rose giggled a little and smiled “That’s fine…” he said, smiling to Petie “Call me whatever you like.” as Petie gave a small smile back. After she finished giggling Momma spoke up “Anyway over the next month or so James and Rose are going to be moving in here so you can get use to seeing them around and living with them… also if it’s okay I’d like you boys to help with bringing their things in.”
Jules giggled at that “Sure! It sounds like fun!” as Petie folded his arms and pouted a little “Fine… how many boxes could there be anyway?”
****************
“How many boxes ARE there!!?”
“Oh hush Petie, now I believe that’s more of Rose’s things so leave it here and I’ll take it upstairs and put it with all the others.”
“How many boxes of magical girl anime and costumes does THIS make?”
“Oh hush Petie, you did agree to help.”
Moving James & Rose in had finally begun in earnest and Petie was less than happy when he found out EXACTLY how many boxes there were. Still grumbling he sat the box down and paused to take a breather as Jules and James came in with more boxes. “Hope we aren’t forcing you to make room for us.” James said apologetically as he sat the box down “I honestly didn’t think there’d be this much stuff till we started to try and pack it up.”
“Oh don’t worry about it.” Momma said smiling “This big old house still has plenty of space in it no matter how much you brought.” but she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow as Rose brought in three more boxes “Though I will ask how much more do you intend to bring in?” she asked as Rose just giggled “Oh don’t worry, I think that was the last of my stuff… for this load anyway.” she said as she watched Jules eagerly carry more boxes in and add them to the growing pile as best he could thanks to his short stature.
Momma noticed something and looked around “Hey… wasn’t Petie here a second ago?” making everybody stop to look for a moment before they heard the muffled shouting coming from the box pile. A few minutes of quick unstacking later a pouty and grumpy Petie was freed from his cardboard prison and Momma cuddled him close, trying not to laugh “Maybe we should take a break for some lunch?”
A brief while later they were all chowing down around the dinner table all complaints forgotten as they devoured Momma’s excellent cooking… the doorbell suddenly rang. “I’ll get it.” Momma said, getting up and going to the door leaving everyone to alternate between eating and listening as Momma opened the door.
“Package for… Petie Herrbar?”
“Oh, I’m his mother. Can I sign for it?”
“Okay then, sign here please.”
“Okay… um... where is this from?”
“Thank you ma’am. And it’s from Jubilife city. Have a good day.”
As the door shut nobody was eating anymore as James got up and when to the living room. Rose got up and scooped Petie & Jules out of their booster seats and followed. They found Momma standing there looking at the decently sized box in her hands as if it’d bite her. Besides who it was for and the stamps needed to send it there was no markings to tell what was inside.
“… do you think…?” James started, standing next to her as she shook her head “No… he wouldn’t send anything dangerous, that much I do know about him…” this made the abomasnow scratch his head a little “Then what do you thinks in there?” Momma gave the box a shake and shook her head “I have no clue…”
“… so can I open it?”
Everybody turned to look at Petie who was still cuddled in one of Rose’s arms “Well… it IS addressed to me isn’t it? I dun see how we’re gonna find out what’s in it any other way so why not?” Momma had a look of unease on her face as she looked from the box to her youngest before sighing softly and setting the box on the couch “Alright… but be careful.”
Petie nodded as Rose set him on the couch, keeping Jules to cuddle, and the teddiursa set to using his sharp little claws to cut open to top of the box… only to find another box inside. This one wrapped up in baby blue wrapping paper and tied with a darker blue bow. There was an awkward silence for a moment before Rose spoke up “… well I for one didn’t expect that.”
Pulling the present out Petie proceeded to open it with the same tact and grace he used on Christmas day… meaning bits of wrapping paper and ribbon flew everywhere as he tore into it till he finally got to the box underneath and popped it open. First thing he pulled out was a check. He looked at for a moment skeptically before his eyes went wide and his jaw dropped.
“How much is it sweetie?” Momma asked, noticing Petie’s expression. He just wordlessly handed it to her. Momma raised an eyebrow at this as she read it “Lets see… it’s addressed to Petie & Gwendolyn Herrbar and it’s for… sweet giggling mews!!” she said, nearly dropping the check as she saw the amount written on it. By now everyone else was craning their necks to try and see how much it was for… and having similar reactions. Finally snapping out of it Momma looked to Petie “Is there anything else in there honeypot? Like maybe something explaining this?”
Reaching back into the box to see Petie blinked as he touched something soft and pulled out… a lugia plushie that was half his size. The toy was silky soft to the touch and obviously expensive with how the cloth shone and how expertly the plush was made. A goofy smile was on its face as a pair of charming button eyes looked at Petie happily. To top it off a light blue bow was tied around its neck. Usually Petie was somewhere between happy and embarrassed to get toys like this… but now he was just confused.
Digging around in the box some more he finally managed to pull out an unsealed envelope. He turned it over for a minute or two before pulling out the letter inside and not bothering to wait for somebody to ask he just unfolded it and started reading.
“Dear Petie, I know I don’t have any right to send you this package but I felt it had to be done to properly break ties with you and Gwen and let you move on. Inside I’ve included a check… I know Gwen said she didn’t want any of my money but I’ve saved up a considerable amount over the years and I believe you deserve it more than me and I hope you’ll be willing to accept it and put it to good use.
I know I have failed you as a father and failed Gwen as a husband… but the truth of the matter is that I was scared. From the moment your older brother was born I was terrified of being a father… so I did everything I could to try and keep my distance. I ran away, I can admit to it now that my wrongs have caught up with me. I ran further away when your sister was born… and when you came along I was too much of a coward and completely abandoned you & Gwen because of my fear.
I bought this plushie fourteen years ago when I first found out Gwen was going to have another child… I intended to finally try and man up and give it to you on the day you were born, but when that day came the thought of facing my wife, kids, and newborn son was too much and my fear overtook me. This has sat on a shelf in my apartment ever since then. I can’t say I believe “better late than never” or that I would blame you if you burned this toy to spite me… I can’t even say if you would like it, I will admit I really don’t know anything about you, but I hope you can find some use for it.
I knew the day would come when my cowardice finally caught up with me and I would have to pay for it… and while I know it’s meaningless to say this so late after making mistakes as big as mine for so long… but I’m sorry. I’m truly, truly sorry for the suffering I must have put you all through and I know being alone the rest of my life is the only fitting punishment for it, but before I cut clean my last ties to you and Gwen I’d like you to know this. Petie I honestly hope that despite my failings as a father you will grow up to be a strong and happy person.
Sincerely, Alex Liratten”
There was a thick and awkward silence filling the room for several minutes after Petie finished reading the letter. Everyone just stared at him as he looked at the piece of paper in his paws, then at the lugia plush, then back at the paper… a lost and unsure expression on his face. The silence was finally broken by Momma sitting down next to Petie on the couch and putting a comforting hand on his back “Are you okay sweetie?”
Petie didn’t look up or say anything for a moment before sighing softly “… no… I’m confused…” Without a second thought Momma pulled him onto her lap and cuddled him softly, stroking his ears gently to help calm him down “What are you confused about?” she asked gently, concern in her voice. Petie fidgeted a little before sighing “No… no I’m not…”
“Momma… I WANT to be mad at…” Petie winced, unable to bring himself to call Alex his father “him for everything he did. For abandoning us just cause he was scared… for never coming back… for all that stuff.” The teddiursa paused to sniffle a little before finally saying “But… I can’t.”
“Why not sweetie?” Momma said more concern in her voice as she hugged Petie close to her. He snuggled against her for a moment before answering “Cause I dun KNOW him… I don’t even remember what he looks like. The few memories I have of him… I can’t even recall his face. I WANT to be angry at him, but it’s like trying to get mad at a stranger I never met before!” he said, frustration and confusion obvious in his voice as he sniffled.
Momma sighs softly and just cuddled him close while rubbing his back for a moment as Petie tried not to tear up in frustration and confusion. After a few moment she spoke “You don’t have to hate him honey pot… you don’t even have to be angry with him.” her voice was even and soothing as she continued to rub Petie’s back “Because it’s all in the past now.” Petie blinked and looked up to her while wiping a few tears from his eyes “That part of our lives is behind us now… so you can just try and put it all behind you. Okay sweetie?” she finished, gently kissing his forehead.
He sat on her lap for a moment before nodding “Okay momma…” he didn’t sound completely certain but what she said seemed to have put his mind slightly at ease “Um… I think I’m gonna try and keep the plushie…” he added, pulling the lugia plushie to him and hugging it a little “Just so I don’t forget…” he added making Momma raise an eyebrow “Forget what exactly baby cub?”
“… what happens if you let yourself get scared and run away…” he said, hugging the plushie a little as he looked at the piece of paper still sitting on the couch where he’d left it “So I dun end up having to ever write such a terrible letter… um… that’s okay right?” he asked, looking to Momma for confirmation. She just smiled and kissed his head “Of course it is sweetie.” As she hugged him and was joined by Jules, Rose, and James in one big group hug with Petie in it’s center making him blush and squirm.
“Heeeeeey! I didn’t say yu guys got to squish me!”
**************
A little later after everyone finished unpacking all the boxes Petie and Jules were upstairs helping Rose set up her room as James & Gwen were in her room, the abomasnow giving his wife to be a shoulder rub to try and ease some of her tension. He gently nuzzles her neck as he leaned closer to her “I think you handled that beautifully back there.” he said and smiled as he wrapped his arms around her lovingly “Getting a package from your ex like that had to be tough…”
“I still want to slug him.” Gwen said bluntly, though she sounded more relaxed then angry thanks to the massage “I still want to knock his stupid buck teeth out if I ever see him again and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him… but I am glad Petie’s a big enough boy to be able to let it go.” she finished, turning around to face James.
He smiled and kissed her “He’s a lot stronger then his size would let on, you raised him well… and if you’ve still got some frustration you need to work out…” he grinned and gently squeezed her hand “Don’t forget I’m here… and more then happy to help you vent it all in a… constructive manner.” Gwen giggled softly and leaned forward to kiss him “I was hoping you’d offer… but think it’d be safe with the kids around?”
“I heard Jules ask Rose to show them her costumes… she’ll hold them hostage up there for hours.”
“Good point, but lets lock the door just to be safe.”
“Deal.”
