𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐃 : // MAMA .
PREDICTION COMES LIKE THIS : I AM NOT PSYCHIC , but you have turned into your father’s daughter . sometimes , it is impossible to distinguish their differences , velma thinks . riley is his , in the ways that matter . it makes her smile , warmed . she knew valerie would go for the rooibos . ‘ oh , that certainly spices things up , doesn’t it ? ’ she laughs at her own pun . but for a moment , however , velma does nothing but shower riley with her own affection . hand comes up to span her back , cheek turning to press mouth to the top of her daughter’s head . she feels , if possible , warmer . ‘ i say werewolf , then . take it from your very clumsy mother , it gets you in the most trouble , no matter how motivated . ’ she grins , pulls away to fetch one of the glass bottles of milk . ‘ what are your thoughts ? and of course we do , honey . here . ’
ON A HUFF DOES she laugh , her amusement fond , eyes rolled without any attitude . riley bumps her hip to her mother’s and says , ❝ good one , mom . ❞ it sounds insincere , a tolerance , but she is smiling wide and toothy . this kind of warm familiarity is something she has always craved , something she has always been given from velma and mitch , and she finds peace here as she always does . as she always has . ❝ mm . i don’t know . dad picked the xenomorph because , and i quote , your mother is a kultz and she gets shit done . ❞ she shrugs . accepts the milk with a sheepish grin . ❝ and werewolves are overrated anyway . aliens are totally gonna take over the world , right ? ❞
