Kipper is out for a day of shopping with her Auntie Lisha (Melisha Tweedy).
They had to do some clothes shopping first! Melisha wanted some new tops, and Kipper needed a new jumper for back to school.
"Put that back, you NIT!" Mrs Tweedy hissed through clenched teeth. Kipper Tweedy was up to her shenanigans again, this time showing up with a bra wrapped around her head like earmuffs! A neurodivergent ragamuffin child like Kip can drive Melisha a little crazy!
Of course, they'd quickly have a tender moment...
"How does this one make me look,auntie?" Kipper asked with her eyes shining. She found this brilliant, brown plaid top she immediately fell in love with. Mrs Tweedy, tenderly ruffled Kipper's red locks. She never judged Kipper for dressing more "boy-ish". That was just who she was and it made her happy! "You look amazing my darling" Mrs Tweedy replied softly, her heart swelling with love for her niece.
After the clothes were chosen and purchased, Melisha and Kip began their journey home. Kipper's stomach grumbled at the sight of all the hot buns,croissants and pastries in the bakery windiw display. Melisha huffed but realized she was hungry too.
The two were seated just outside on the front patio. Melisha getting some tea, and Kipper getting a icy glass of lemonade (her favorite). Both got a ooey-gooey jam bun. Melisha smiled to herself, watching Kipper's face get smeared with delicious raspberry jam. They didn't often have the funds for such treats, but Melisha loved treating Kip whenever she could because that girl definitely deserved it.
Mrs Tweedy: "Tuck in, darling" Kip:"om,nom,nom,nom!"
It had been a great day. The shopping was done and both left the village with a sweet treat in their bellies. "I love being out with you auntie Lisha" Kipper said affectionately, snuggling her aunt's hand. "Get off before I thump ya!" Mrs Tweedy growled, in her usual gruff manner. Of course Melisha adores this. Mrs Tweedy loved her little girl more than anything. ❤️ 💕 She may be "auntie" but she was mummy in all ways that mattered.
There! I really wanted this project to be successful! Im still really not confident with backgrounds, but i still want to keep including them in my stories as I feel how it truly makes my pieces feel complete.
I love thinking about Melisha and Kip. Melisha is really trying her best to be a surrogate mother to Kip, while still honoring Kipper's biological mother Lucy (also Melisha's best friend). I got inspired by the jam bun from the fanfic "Tweedys of Yorkshire" by Therese, where Melisha eats a jam bun with her coworker. I like to think Kip and Lucy loved getting a jam bun together in the past...and Melisha wants to uphold this special tradition!
I hope you enjoy these, I loved making them! I really would love to make more: with Kipper as a little one, some of Kip with Lucy, and another with Kip with both Tweedys!
