That Star in the Sky

My name's Eva. I don't really get along with my family, but I've got a cool cousin. Her name's Helen.

herevangline | "Hannah?" Eva's voice is small as she approaches her daughter. "I just... I wanted you to know that I'm sorry, for everything."

She’s scared. Partly because her mom is appearing to her as a ghost but mostly because it’s her mom. Taking a step back, she looks confused and then hurt by what she’s hearing.

“Oh? Umm, thank you. I don’t know what else to say.”

Now she’s having to wipe her eyes.

“Can … Can I hug you?”

Eva steps forward and pulls Hannah into her arms. “Always, baby girl. You never even have to ask.”

"I'm sad to see that America has influenced you so. It was a mistake for you to move."

“Yes well, I’m sorry to say I am very much past caring about what you think. If American has changed me, it’s changed me for the better.”

“Spite and jealously will get you nowhere except into the arms of the Devil. Surely you remember that much.”

“I remember a lot about you. Trust me, I haven’t forgotten.”

"Grandma, I need dirt on Mom."

“Oh? Okay. What kind of dirt do you want?”

“Really? How? You didn’t catch them too, did you?”

“Not in the middle of it, thank god, but there was a distinct post-coital glow to the two of them when I walked in. Your mother is many things, but subtle is not one of them.”

"Hey kiddo," Eva declared, smiling, though a bit more subdued than normal as she skipped over to Jacob and sat down next to him. "Can I tell you something?"

Turning to see Eva join him, Jacob gave her a intrigued smile as he nodded, “sure. What’s on your mind?”

[herevangeline-blog]

militaryxman:

Jacob smiled softly. He’d seen those actions before. Characteristics both Mother and Daughter shared. Reaching over he covered her hands with his own - hoping to help calm her. “I’m just glad I could make her happy. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. She’s the love of my life. There’s no need to thank me. Really. She’s made me happier too. Now, as for your relationship. You’ve had your ups and and downs but in the end you’re still her Mom. She loves you a lot. I know she does.”

Eva laughed lightly and shook her head. “Well either way, you’ve made her happy, and really...when your kids are born, you have this whole fantasy for them. I’m sure you understand by now. I was afraid...after she began working...that she would never get that, but you gave me that picture, and I am very grateful for that.”

herevangeline || "Hannah? What's going on with you and your sister?"

“Mom?” She’s surprised and shocked. “Nothing. Nothing’s going on with me and Debra. Just normal sister stuff …. Why?”

[herevangeline-blog]

hannxhnielsen:

She sighed. “Debra doesn’t like who I’m with now. That’s an understatement. She hates Abby and she thinks she knows best. We argued and ….” She looks away from her mother. “And I hit her.”

“Ah. Debs always did have a stubborn streak. Probably gets it from me.” Eva cupped her daughter’s face in her hands and placed a kiss to her forehead. “She’ll come around, I promise. And if she doesn’t, that’s her loss. She loves you, baby girl, I know she does. She just...she’s a very proud person. She’s not good at admitting she’s wrong. Now...tell me about this woman. I want to know everything. She’s pretty, I’m guessing?”

[herevangeline-blog]

“You don’t have to say anything. I just want you to know that I’m better now. Still…hanging around…you know…like ghosts do, but I’m not…I’m not sick anymore, and I love you so much. I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I needed to apologize and tell you that you meant the world to me, alright? You were everything.”

[hannxhnielsen]

She’s tearing up.

“You’re not sick? You’re just my mommy again?”

[herevangeline-blog]

“I am baby, and I’m so so sorry.”

[herevangeline-blog]

"Are you alright, Evie?"

“No, I’m not.”

[violetxbancroft]

“Oh, so that’s why your family is falling apart and you are considered the mentally unstable one of the family … because it’s changed you for the better. Mmm, yes. I can see how I was mistaken now.”

[herevangeline-blog]

“I’m considered the mentally unstable one of the family because I don’t think the way you and the others do! I may not be the best mother in the world, I’ll admit that, but this country has given my children the freedom they never would have gotten living under your thumb! I’m grateful to it if only for that.”

                 “I wouldn’t say obsessed..”

[herevangeline-blog]

“I would.”

[herevangeline-blog]

"Evangeline? Oh, ma chérie, ma chérie, is that you?"

“I…Mother?”

[claraxedwards]

Utterly abandoning all decorum, Clara rushed towards her daughter and cupped her face in her hands, kissing her forehead over and over again. “Oh heavens … heavens, Evangeline, my angel, you’ve grown up so much!”

[herevangeline-blog]

“I...how...what are you doing here?”

[ronniefraiser]

herevangeline || "So sonny boy. How're things with Debra going?"

“Splendid. As always.”

[herevangeline-blog]

“She still happy? Sex life good and all that?”

[calmingxthexstorm-blog]

"Oi dorkface," Eva declared, running up to her husband and practically tackling him in a hug, "hi."

With a small, surprised yell - almost a squeal - Arthur grinned at Eva and eagerly wrapped his arms around her. “Nice to see you too. You okay?”

[herevangeline-blog]

“Oh I’m absolutely fantastic!” She placed a long, lingering kiss to his cheek and beamed up at him. “I just missed you, that’s all. How was your trip?”

"So you're Ronald... Interesting." (herevangeline)

“What of it?”

[herevangeline-blog]

“Oh I just wanted to meet you, and tell you that if you ever hurt her I will somehow become…not dead and kick your ass.”

[ronniefraiser]

“Right. Ah— I’m taking it you’re…Debra’s mother?” Little bit odd, what she’s said – but he’s heard stranger. “I’m not going to hurt her, don’t worry.”

[herevangeline-blog]

“Evangeline Nielsen, at your service, and I’m going to hold you to that, buddy. Believe me, hell hath no fury like a mother scorned.”
