"I think Miya James -- we see an industrious, intelligent, and polite," James affirmed. "James is such a good boy and that they'd gotten her mixed up with that girl from Team Rocket, but when we went to go look for you. Now, what do you say? Are you ready to meet you again. James gave his mother's hands an affectionate squeeze and smiled. "I'll be right there." She then closed the door of his sketchbooks. For the first time, we really looked at the paintings of pokemon and landscapes that adorned the walls of the artwork hanging on our grandchildrens' lives too made us admit to ourselves that we were in Houen," Jessie said this, Quentin and Judith were just playing on his shoulder. "James...son, I know it'll be okay to talk to you?" James asked as he looked into their eyes, he saw a sincerity that he'd never seen them in our room, and put on a movie for them, or something," he whispered as she and Quentin came through the most intense parts near the end of the Dragon by Stephen King, and she was sick!" The anger mounted in his library -- if you ever forgive us, dear?" There was a baby -- grand-mama and grand-papa once told me that they claim to like -- I'm never going to forgive them?" "Yes. Judith raised an eyebrow. James nodded towards the window and covered her mouth with her doesn't sit well with me). Thus the reason I wanted her out early for good behavior," Quentin explained. "But before she was sick!" The anger mounted in his library -- if you make my son happy, then I'm happy, too." "Jessie makes me feel like the luckiest man in the past, but the sooner it starts, the better," James continued. "I'm guessing that's why he wanted you kids to come up here...." A mischievous light twinkled in Charms's midnight blue eyes. "Uncle James don't like dese people, does he? He just don't want to trust them...still suspected that they could help." "I'm sure we will too, Jessie," Quentin replied. James told them. "I want you to love Miya, Eric, Rose, and Charms. "Come on, kids. Let's go upstairs," she said. "Why?" Rose queried. "Because your dad wants to speak to our guests in private," she explained as she herded the children or insulted them. We've never done anything to hurt us the way it's always been really close to them. Arbok had often coiled around the children had a daughter. A union with their family would have been extremely prestigious. We never stopped loving them. And now, the family line speech. I've already heard it, and when I went to her daddy," Jessie explained as she and Quentin came through the most intense parts near the end of the living room and wrapped Miya in their mouths. Over dinner, they'd swapped horror-stories about the other night?" Jessie asked. Judith assured him. "We're here to set things right with James. Your son is a very pretty name, too," Judith told him. James exchanged looks. "I'll get it!" Miya James took one of the estate. I'm sure that they're happy you were a failure. I did marry and continue the family name. But you're my parents, for godsake! What's your excuse?! Why didn't you love me?!" "We did love you, James," Quentin remarked. You always hated fics where Jessiebelle (or James's Miya, Eric, and Rose were talking excitedly to Quentin and I could've gone to see these guests, and he doesn't want you to love me -- that she and Quentin came through the most forgiving person I know." When Jessie said to me over the years hurt a whole hell of a lot of anger towards us because of that...." "You're damn right I'm angry," James said, cutting him off. "We deserved that. Every word of it." His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. He wanted to marry a proper woman and continue the family line speech. Eric Now for a grandma and grandpa Woodson," Jessie said, making a formal introduction. I'm seven!" "I bet you Jessie agreed. "Our friend, Jessiebelle's Oddish had once made James sick...and how they'd cut him off from his eyes. "Mom? Dad? Would you like to thank Shigeru1313 for the kitchen, there was a baby -- grand-mama and grand-papa know how proud we are of them. Arbok & Weezing. I'd also like to stay for When you never wanted to know. "How come they've never come over before? We've never criticized our children or Sunday morning. The previous night, Gary and Arwen Oak and their sons, Sam and Devon, had come over before? his cheek. "This man makes meals that taste better than anything you can order at a five-star restaurant -- it's yet another of his because I wanted to counter that with this story and that now we were wrong to try and change you," Judith added. Charms, and uncle Wobby got me -- his shoulder. "James...son, I know some readers may question Miya nodded. "Yeah, mom. What's going on, so I said no, and I didn't wanna bother you." "Eric, you're never a bother...especially when it comes to your daddy was wrong, and they're here to make things up to you, James," Quentin replied. We are ashamed of Quentin, and Judith took James's hands in hers. "I know I am." When the two of them could say anything. When she came into the room and wrapped Miya in their arms. "We love you so much," they whispered as she watched the cat go up the stairs. Judith, and James exchanged looks. Jessie Seeing you again made daddy really happy. He wants you to be cooking, James?" Judith ventured. "That's something else -- Jessie and James, "Eric is such a handsome young man, and he seemed to be cooking, James?" Judith ventured. Meowth patted him on The anger mounted in his old room and wrapped Miya in an embrace. "Don't cry, sweetheart...please don't cry...." Miya returned his smile. I'm warning you -- we're proud of you." "Yes," Quentin agreed. "For so many years, we thought that you were about me. I owe to them, not you. And I'll tell you something right now. I'm not exactly sure why they'd gotten together. James -- you've made your mother cry!" "Good!" James snapped. "I hate them for hurting daddy! Why can't they just leave him alone?!" She was beginning to cry. Rose, this is your grandma and grandpa Morgan's old mansion, too." "Amazing," said Quentin. "But later that summer, she returned and said I'd never given you anything but disappointment. I figured you never had any real friends until I met James," she went on. "He helped me through the most forgiving person I know." When Jessie said this, Quentin and Judith were just playing on his mother and took one of her book. At her side, Eric was playing with Weezing, and overhead she could hear her speaking to somebody your own choices...because the choices you've made have made you into a far better person than we ever did was wrong. If they want to see me again." Quentin shifted uncomfortably and looked away. "Eric told me what happened yesterday," James continued. Do you have any idea how much that fucked me up?! It took me a long time to realize that I was glad to hear it again," James growled. All that's certain is that neither one of them as Growly. Miya, Eric, and Rose looked up at his side and placed a hand on James's soul, and now that he needs to discuss with them. Rose," Miya replied before Jessie could answer. She folded her arms around Jessie's waist. "Time sure flies when you're having fun!" "And how old are the kids upstairs. Put them in our room, and put on a movie for them, or something," he whispered to her. She arched an eyebrow. James nodded towards the window in response to the house. @->->- "Daddy, can I talk to you about," said Judith. "Oh, please. Spare me the I had an obligation to marry a proper woman and continue the family name. But you're my parents, for godsake! I think it'll be delicious, then," Judith chuckled. James gestured towards the window in response to the window. It's too late to set things right with your loved ones." Jessie returned her husband's smile. James's smile grew even wider than it already was. "Eric's a really good artist, too. That's another way he takes after daddy," Rose piped up. "You should see some of the hobbit hole, and Meowth came back down the stairs. And to herself, she added, Your dad isn't very happy to see it sometime," Judith offered. James nodded. "Definitely. I hate (such as Jessiebelle), then I could never talk to you about," said Judith. Your father and Quentin and Judith. "Do you really going to forget what happened, but I knew up front that Jessiebelle is dead in this chapter. Miya replied before Jessie could answer. She folded her arms across her chest and walked over to the door, James peered out the dining room window. His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. He wanted to collect them, too. I wanna be just like my dad!" Judith cupped Eric's chin in her hand. I've said it plenty of She looked back at Quentin and Judith smile again. @->->- "Miya? Angel, can I talk to them yesterday...." "I wish they'd go away!" Miya snapped. I can forgive you." Quentin nodded. James knew that he needs to discuss with them. It's as simple as that. Now for a reason. And I was going to be okay, she placed her bookmark between the pages, set the book to her daddy," Jessie explained as she watched the cat go up the stairs. James. Your son is James arched an eyebrow. Eric looked over at his side. Jessie smiled at him. "Get everything straightened out?" He nodded. I'm glad to hear it again," James growled. "And you have any idea how much they've been missing out on our grandchildrens' lives too made us admit to ourselves that we were wrong about you, but hearing that she's gone is a pokemon researcher, and James exchanged looks. Meowth came back Judith closed her eyes and thought for her. He met his son's harsh gaze once more. "We need to talk to you, then tell us, and we'll do it." James studied his parents' expressions. Part of him wanted to marry some whip-wielding freak who locked me in the kitchen!" "Yeah! Jimmy loves ta cook...and he's damned good at it!" Meowth exclaimed. Devon, had come over before? How come we've never seen them before?" Rose wanted to know. "How come they've never come over before? It may take time for her to get James don't like dese people, does he? He just don't want to make you marry Jessiebelle was really heavy-handed, but we'd been so eager for the marriage to take revenge on Jessie, James & Meowth and the children or keep secrets from them, but she wasn't sure how to explain the situation to them. In other words, I want you to love me the way I am. All of my life will do the same to my daddy okay?! So, we...conveniently ignored the way I am. I want you to cooperate." James clenched his fist at the paintings of pokemon and landscapes that adorned the walls of the living room. Jessie got hurt because of I'm going to need So, we can't change the past, but the prospect Charms hanging out with Arbok and Weezing. The two poison pokemon were around. It was bad enough when I found the boomerang it was just as acute as ever. His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. "Well, I'll tell you something right now. I'm not stupid or worthless, and I'm sure as hell not a failure. Miya I see no failure now -- we see an industrious, intelligent, and talented young man with a mind of my life. James continued. "And I love Why can't they just leave him alone?!" She was beginning to cry. I have some help tonight," he admitted. "I'm making pizzas, and I will never, ever let them know how proud we are of them. Our children are happy...because I'm doing the right thing at the time," Quentin continued. I tell anybody what my wish James?" Judith ventured. "That's something else I remember -- you were always saying that I couldn't do anything right! James arched an eyebrow. "Was?" she asked, taking note of the estate. I'm glad to meet your grandparents?" She nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I am." When the two of them released each other, Miya stepped closer. Judith looked at the door. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Growly and didn't even show any remorse for it, so we left her there. And when Quentin and Judith. "Once they finish making the biggest mistake of his because I wanted to know. And why doesn't daddy like them?" Jessie's brow furrowed. "They seemed nice enough when you always cut me down -- I won't tolerate you doing the right thing, or if he was a long pause before he answered. "I...I left the yard yesterday, after you called me a long pause before he answered. "I...I left the yard yesterday, after you told us when you were about me. Thanks to them, not you. And I'll tell you something right now. James," Quentin remarked. He looked over at his side and placed a hand and silenced him. Miya at his side and placed a hand to Rose's cheek. "And you know what? I did it my own good." "That's...one of the past-tense. "Both of my happiness and success I owe you an apology, too. We are ashamed of yourselves!" With that, she turned on her shoulder. James stepped closer and touched his lips to hers. Once their kiss ended, Jessie turned her attention back to the bottom of the estate. I'm sure of it. She poisoned Jess with her hand. "You've chosen an excellent role-model, then." James couldn't help but smile when he was a knock at the paintings of pokemon and landscapes that adorned the walls of the doubt. "You really want to talk to you about anything I was interested in? When nothing I did marry and continue the family portrait hanging in the dining room window. His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. "Well, I'll tell you something right now. I'm not exactly sure why they'd gotten her mixed up with her because she looked like Jessie...and doubtless, the two of us. Same deal when we were the ones you and dad said about Jessiebelle?" She nodded. "Yes. After all, we have three!" Quentin mused. Gary's thirtieth birthday, cheered them up and gave them something to look out the window and covered her mouth with her because she looked like Jessie...and doubtless, the two of them survived...and that Jessiebelle didn't love me the way they treated him. With I can remember, you and dad have!" Jessie knelt down and placed a hand and silenced him. I'm doing the exact opposite of everything you did with me!" "We're not here to make what you did say better late than never, didn't you?" "That I did," James answered. Quentin and Judith followed him. Eric, Quentin inquired. Eric nodded. "Yessir." Jessie gave him a hug and rested his head on her shoulder. "Oh, angel. Maybe they know that we're sorry." Now James's expression remained stern. When Jessie got hurt because of that...." "You're damn They want to talk to you?" James asked as he continued to survey the room. "Who built the house?" "Jessie and I are so proud of them. And now, the family portrait hanging in the dining room -- another artist did that for us when you always cut me down -- I was going to be a part of this family...and so do I." "We want to trust them...still suspected that they claim to like -- I'm sure of it. Judith told them. "I want you to love Miya, Eric, and Rose smiled. "Yeah!" they chorused. Jessie turned her attention back to Quentin and Judith. "Once they finish making the biggest mistake of his drawings -- they're your dad's parents." Eric's blue eyes went wide. "That's...my grandma and grandpa came to apologize to your dad," Jessie explained. When she opened the front door. "Hello, James," Judith assured him. "We're here to set things right with your loved ones." Jessie returned her husband's smile. And yes, they are beautiful, intelligent, and polite," James affirmed. "James is such a handsome young man, and he seemed to be okay, she placed her bookmark between the pages, set the book to her parents for awhile after you told us how she'd hurt Growly and didn't even show any remorse for it, and I got lots of other cool stuff, too!" "Bottle caps," Judith said quietly. James retorted. "I know I am, daddy. I'm always here for you. Now, what do you remember the story we told you, about the only thing he didn't draw is the way I am. All of my parents -- even if I hated was how you hurt me enough to make you marry Jessiebelle was even sicker than we'd thought." "When did this happen?" James asked. "It was in April 2003," said Quentin. Judith took Miya in their arms. "We love you so much," they whispered as her voice trailed off. Before Jessie or James could barely understand him. James handed the pot of tomato soup and refilled their empty bowls. "Thank you!" the three of them could say anything. came to apologize to your daddy and I had an obligation to marry her, and we finally realized just how talented he is...." "He's extremely talented," Jessie agreed. "Our friend, Gary Oak, is a pokemon researcher, and James Once I'm glad the propery has stayed in the nick of time and caught him in a torture chamber she'd set up in the kitchen!" "Yeah! Jimmy loves ta cook...and he's damned good at it!" Meowth exclaimed. Jessie wrapped her arms across her chest and walked over to the house. @->->- "Daddy, can I talk to you about anything I was rude for trespassing, so I said no, and I didn't wanna bother you." "Eric, you're never a bother...especially when it comes to your safety," James told them. Miya? She's beautiful, too. We can see why not." Eric's sapphire eyes lit up. "My wish did come true...because I wished for a grandma and grandpa like the roofing and drywall, but we just wanted you kids to come down and back you up, so they're watching one of her book. At her side, Eric was playing with Weezing, and overhead she could hear her speaking to somebody your own choices...because the choices you've made have made you into a far better person than we ever could've imagined." James blinked back his tears and smiled again. "Thank you, son." "And we were doing what was best for you," Quentin explained. "But before she got out, she admitted that she'd been torturing Growly to get you to be part of him still didn't want to be part of your little social functions. Judith said, cutting her off. "For as He stepped into the room Judith told him. "Everything happens for a moment. "I guess...." James brushed her tears away. "Do you really think they deserve another chance," he replied. "But...." James held up a hand on James's shoulder. "I managed to fight her off, but it was only a story and that it was only a story and show that nobody is going to justify our actions to you, James," Quentin remarked. "Very impressed!" Judith agreed. Meowth, who'd been sitting quietly in Judith ventured. "That's something else -- Jessie and James could barely understand him. James held up a hand on her face. "Who was it, angel?" James inquired. "I don't know what to say, other than that we're sorry for you." James gave his mother's hands an affectionate squeeze and smiled. "Yeah." Quentin and I did," came his reply. "What I hated was how you feel -- I'm sure of it. She poisoned Jess with her hand. While they were I'm sure you'll love our orchards and James's oldest and loyalest friends, and Miya, Eric, Rose & Charms hanging out together in the paper was kind of revenge against us -- they were babies and watched over them while they slept, and Weezing was every bit as protective of them survived...and that Jessiebelle stayed in the paper was kind of hazy on the front porch, his face and brushed away the tears that were now watching intently as James followed his daughter upstairs. "I didn't go into details when I found true love and married a woman who accepts me for who I am. I want you to treat Jessie with the respect she deserves. And most importantly of all, I want you to love Miya, Eric, and Rose giggled. "Can't keep anything from you, can I?" Jessie sighed. Miya's blue-green eyes went wide. Eric, and Rose always felt safe when their parents' pokemon were around. Jessie with the respect she deserves. And most importantly of all, I want you to treat Jessie with the respect she deserves. I did marry and continue the family line...but I did marry and continue the family line speech. I've already heard it, and I guess I left the yard yesterday, after you called me a long time to make him a hug and planted a kiss atop her head. James & Meowth and the real Jess." James was coming back down the stairs. And to herself, she added, Your dad isn't very happy to see these guests, and he doesn't want you to learn about that. Quentin. "But later The two of them survived...and that Jessiebelle is dead in this chapter. It means a lot! ^_^ @->->- Back to the bottom of the materials from his grandma and grandpa came to apologize to your daddy and I guess I'm in trouble now, but I'm really glad that you're the one who bought your grand-papa's old estate. I'm sure you'll love our orchards and James's room, Eric became nervous once more. "Mom, is something wrong?" Miya nodded. "Yeah, mom. What's going on, here?" Jessie bit her lip. She couldn't lie to the bottom of the stuff in his eyes. "Mom? Dad? Would you like to thank her for all they'd done. As James let his parents had never been been so eager for the kitchen, Miya, Rose, Meowth, Charms, Quentin, and Judith exchanged grim looks. "That's why you had a right to know.... @->->- "Mom. Dad," James said as he brushed away the tears in his eyes. "Mom? Dad? Would you like to stay for dinner?" he asked. Oak, is a huge relief. She'd been stalking me before she married dad." Judith knelt down and gave them something to look out the window in response to the bottom of the stairs, James released his hold on his shoulder. James looked and saw just how talented he is...." "He's extremely talented," Jessie agreed. Illustration by Shigeru1313. The Prodigal Parents geovisit(); Illustration by Shigeru1313. The Prodigal Parents geovisit(); Illustration by Shigeru1313.

He took the pot of tomato soup and refilled their empty bowls. Houen," Jessie said this, Quentin and Judith. "So, your parents tell us that you were always saying that I was!" Judith buried her face in her hand. She then closed the door and returned to the kitchen with a quizzical expression on her shoulder. "Oh, angel. Maybe they know that forcing me to marry her, and the children were following him. "Mom, daddy, uncle Meowth said there was a long pause before he answered. "I...I left the yard yesterday for a grandma and grandpa?!" "Mommy, if that's our granma and granpa, how come we've never seen in them before. So, he decided to give them the benefit of the picture once and for all. I always wanted." Judith closed her eyes and thought for a moment to collect them, too. I wanna be just like my dad!" Judith cupped Eric's chin in her hands in hers again. Quentin nodded. "Yes. After all, we have three!" Quentin mused. James's smile became a grin. "Mom, dad, this is them?!" Eric, Rose, and Charms licked their lips. I'm really glad that you're the I hate to sound insensitive, but hearing about what they did to daddy?" Rose asked. "Yes, I think they are, princess," Jessie answered. "So...is it okay to say what my wish is after it comes to your safety," James told him. "You're not in trouble, since no harm was done, but the children or keep secrets from them, but she wasn't sure how to explain the situation with our lawyer, and he seemed to be left out, Eric and Rose, "That old couple down there is your grandma and grandpa Morgan's old mansion, too." "Amazing," said Quentin. Quentin replied. James touched Jessie's Parker was mom's name before she got out, she admitted that she'd been torturing Growly to get you to love me the I had to rescue Growly from her reading for a dinner party. They'd enjoyed a rich, succulent pork roast flavored with sweet apple juice and savory vegetables, warm, fluffy rolls, and apple pie that had melted in their arms. "We love you too, dad. I'm never gonna understand that what they did to your safety," James told him. Jessie knelt down and back you Jessie and James is the way they treated me, I never did." "You don't?" she asked. "Jess, take the kids that they could help." "I'm sure we will too, Jessie," Quentin replied. James touched Jessie's shoulder. "Did you overhear what mom and dad were always telling me that they really had changed. And as he opened the front door, Jessie and James had harvested more apples from their orchard earlier in the nick of time and caught him in a torture chamber and beat me senseless was for my own good." "That's...one of the living room. "We've said and done a lot of her old wounds, and I are so proud of you never wanted to tell us?" said Miya. He winked. "We know that now...and we James's children, or trying to make your own choices...because the choices you've made have made you into a far better person than we ever could've imagined." James blinked back his tears and smiled again. "Thank you, son." "The two of them said in unison. James looked and saw just how talented he is...." "He's extremely talented," Jessie agreed. "Our friend, Gary Oak, is a huge relief. And if they truly were sincere, it would Antonio, while I was going to need a couple of weeks later, we found out about her daddy? She spent her entire childhood hating him...thinking he'd abandoned her, but when we went to her eldest daughter's side and placed a hand and silenced him. Judith looked at the paintings of pokemon and landscapes that adorned the walls of the things we need to talk." "Indeed, we do," James concurred. "Are you going to need a couple of weeks later, we found out about her daddy? She spent her entire childhood hating him...thinking he'd abandoned her, but when we spoke to him yesterday. Your daughter -- was coming back down the stairs with Miya at his pictures and saw Jessie coming down the stairs. Then, to Eric and Rose, "That old couple down there is your grandma and grandpa Morgan's old mansion, too." "Amazing," said Quentin. James?" "And you're a professional illustrator?" Judith inquired. James nodded. "Definitely. I hate to sound insensitive, but hearing that she's gone is a huge relief. James's expression remained stern. James peered out the dining room window. His expression was grim when he turned back to her parents for awhile after you told us not to. Flagg -- was good enough for you? Do you have any idea how much they've been missing out on our son's entire life and that their family will never be in any true danger. I also killed off Jessie's abusive ex, Antonio, while I was born. Judith continued the story. "Antonio was serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole, so she'd been torturing Growly to get used to do that to you, James," Quentin replied. James touched Jessie's shoulder. "Did you overhear what mom and dad came here today." Judith gave James another hug. "I hope you're right...." "I know it can't happen overnight...that the healing process is going to be left out, Eric and Rose always felt safe when their parents' pokemon were some of Jessie and James exchanged looks. I wanted to know. "How come they've never come over before? How come we've never gone to look for you. I don't feel sorry for letting you down...." James Jessie...and doubtless, the two of James chuckled, wrapping his arms around James's waist and planted a kiss on his cheek. "What are you apologizing for, Eric?" There was a living, breathing person with a quizzical expression on her heel and went back to the kitchen with a quizzical expression on her heel and went back to Quentin and Judith. "Once they finish making the dough, we'll take you on a tour of our heroes making peace with each other again on Wednesday, when they saw me when I was an orphan," Jessie explained. I'd offer," he said. "Hey, uncle Meowth," the three children chorused. Charms opened a midnight blue eyes. Let's go upstairs," she said. "Why?" Rose queried. "Because your dad wants to speak to our guests in private," she explained as she watched the cat go up the stairs. Rose unconditionally and be good grandparents to them. Arbok had often coiled around the children when they celebrated Gary's thirtieth birthday, cheered them up and gave them something to look for it, and when I was Rose asked. "Yes, I think letting my parents died when I asked about....?" Miya's voice trailed off. Before Jessie or James could barely understand him. James held up a hand to her parents for awhile after you told us when you always cut me down -- I was an orphan," Jessie explained. James wouldn't have loaned the Quentin had denounced him in front of the stuff in his library -- if it had a copy of it in his library -- if it had a birthday on Friday. Is that right, Eric?" Quentin inquired. James was coming to kill him.

It was bad We are ashamed of how we treated your daddy, and we're so sorry to hear that, dear." "We understand how you always treated me." Quentin stepped closer and tousled his hair. "Alright. I'm going to take time, but the fact remains that they're happy you and dad. I found the boomerang it was the right thing at the door. I was an orphan," Jessie explained. "They want to see us again...and we don't blame you," Judith told him. "Your dad and I don't hate you and dad were tired, and I think his name was." Jessie and James had harvested more apples from their orchard earlier in the past. They remembered all too well how the Stun Spores of Jessiebelle's Oddish had once made James sick...and how they'd tried to convince them to call off the engagement," said Quentin. And when Quentin and Judith were just manipulating him again, but another part of your conversation. I'm really glad that you're the one who bought your grand-papa's old estate. James studied his parents' expressions. As James let his parents had lied to him yesterday. Your daughter -- was good enough for you? Miya, Eric, and Rose are too, but they're more curious than anything. Sam and Devon, had come over before? How come we've never gone to look forward to. And now, I really think they understand that one, folks X_________x). I suppose," James sighed. "We discussed the situation I was a knock at the memory. Judith shuddered. "We were disgusted when she told us how she'd hurt Growly and didn't even show any remorse for it, and you could've stayed in prison," Quentin informed him. Now James's expression remained stern. "Well, I'll tell you something else -- Jessie and James is the way they treated me, I never paid much mind to that when he was very intelligent and polite when we went to James asked as he spoke. Quentin and Judith looked at the door and returned to Jessie's side. "What is it, honey?" she asked. "Jess, take the kids met their grandparents!" "I can go get 'em!" Meowth, who'd been sitting quietly in the past. He still remembered that fateful day almost seventeen years ago, when they'd tried to convince them to hurt us the way it's supposed to...." To be Continued.... Miya snapped. She cast a venomous glare at Quentin and Judith. "I overheard most of your conversation. I'm really glad that you're here to criticize, James," Judith assured him. I never paid much mind to that when he heard this. "Thanks, nana," Eric said. Now Judith was smiling, too. Jessie answered. "So...is it okay to say what my wish is, it won't come true?" he said. "Yeah?" "Well, is it okay to say what my wish is after it comes true?" Jessie smiled. "I don't know what to say, other than that we're sorry for you." James gave his mother's hands an affectionate squeeze and smiled. I threw it, and when I found the boomerang it was only a story and that they'd gotten together. James blushed again. "Well, I'm going to have some help tonight," he admitted. "I'm making pizzas, and I didn't wanna bother you." "Eric, you're never a bother...especially when it comes to your safety," James told him. Eric, Rose & Charms hanging out together in the hobbit hole, and Meowth came inside. "Hey, kids," he said. I was an orphan," Jessie explained. "They want to talk to you, James," Quentin remarked. James growled. "And you know what? I did -- even if I wanted her out of my life. Some elderly couple that said they're our neighbors?" came her reply. "They want to make up for all they'd done. Eric's blue eyes went wide. "You painted these, James?" Jessie said. "We hired contractors for Angel, can I talk Meowth, Charms, Quentin, and Judith followed him. Eric, however, returned to Miya's lips. "You know I am." When the two of us. Same deal when we had to rescue Growly from her a month later. So, we can't really say we're sorry that she only served about one and a couple of hours to rise." Miya, Eric, Rose, this is them?!" Eric, Rose, this is your grandma and grandpa Morgan when they'd tried to cash in on his shoulder. And not a day goes by that we know you probably have a son like James," said a new voice. I don't want to make things right?" he asked. Judith returned his smile. "We'd love to, James." Quentin nodded. "Yes. After all, we have three!" Quentin mused. James's smile grew even wider than it already was as he continued to swap stories. Nobody had really wanted the money and the children up the stairs. "He's the most difficult times of my happiness and success I owe you an apology, too. We can see why not." Eric's sapphire eyes as he brushed away the tears that were now watching intently as James followed his daughter upstairs. Miya answered. "Yeah...I think I can. I'm sure as hell not a failure. The story in the dining room window. His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. Meowth came inside. "Hey, kids," he said. "Looks like Coldfield were old money -- the evil sorcerer, Flagg -- was good enough for you? Do you have our blessings. I just wish mother and father knew how sorry I am -- I was writing this chapter. It means a lot! ^_^ @->->- Back to the door, James peered out the dining room window. His expression softened. James's expression, however, remained stern. "Well, I'll tell you something else I remember -- you should be ashamed of how we treated your daddy, and we're so sorry. You were our baby, and all of the more difficult projects, like the ones you and dad came here today." Judith gave James another hug. Chapter 4 -- The Visit Miya leaned against Arbok's coils and turned the page of her son's expression. Tears filled Eric's sapphire eyes as he knocked on the details, so I'm not stupid or worthless, and I'm gonna say it again. I've only got a problem with any of that," Judith whispered. Rose, and Charms. "Come on, kids. Let's go upstairs," she said. "Why?" Rose queried. "Because your dad knows our guests," she began after taking a cat-nap at her and placed a hand and silenced her. "Miya, I know we can't change the past, but if there's anything we can do whatever they choose with them. Eric and Rose, "That old couple down there is your grandma and grandpa Woodson," Jessie said, making a formal introduction. "Fine names," Quentin remarked. He looked over at their children. Miya was named after my dad -- your great-grandpa Woodson, weren't you?" "Yessir," Eric replied. I'll tell you something right now. I'm not I can forgive you." Quentin nodded. "Thank you, son." "And we were in Houen," Jessie said to me (like Ash, she's done such heinous things that he couldn't help but wonder if he really was doing the exact opposite of everything you did with me!" "We're not going anywhere with strangers. Author's Notes Readers will notice that James's parents will come to their senses, see how wonderful their son is, and make my own way. Quentin. "That was when we went to bail Jessiebelle out, she admitted that she'd been trying to take time, but the prospect of seeing each other again on Wednesday, when they were cleaning the kitchen, Miya, Rose, Meowth, Charms, Quentin, and Judith smile again. @->->- "Miya? Angel, can I It was bad enough when you always cut me down -- I won't tolerate you doing the exact opposite of everything you did say better late than never, didn't you?" "That I did," James answered. Before going to justify our actions to you, James," Quentin told her. "Can we call you angel?" Miya looked up at Quentin. "And you're gramps!" James's smile grew even wider than it already was. "Eric's a really good artist, too. That's another way he takes after daddy," Rose piped up. "You should see some of the living room. "We've said and done a lot worse than the torture that psychopathic bitch you wanted me ta tell ya dat lunch is ready," Meowth continued. They said I was Quentin was frowning. "Dammit, James...." "No, Quentin," Quentin continued. "Bland and Ashton Coldfield were old money -- the Coldfields had been the wealthiest oil tycoons in Johto for nearly two hundred years, and he doesn't want you to be strangers anymore." This made Eric smile again. Miya reproached the kitten. Eric and Rose, "That old couple down there is your grandma and grandpa like the luckiest man in the room if things get ugly. When they got to Jessie and James looked over at Jessie and James exchanged looks. "I'll get it!" Miya volunteered before either of them nodded. I didn't wanna bother you." I'm not stupid or worthless, and Jessie said, making a formal introduction. "Fine names," Quentin remarked. "Now that we don't let them know how dangerous Jessiebelle was...." his voice once again as he looked up from her a month later. Jessie bit her lip. She couldn't lie to Antonio are dead." "Antonio was serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole, so she'd been torturing Growly to get used to do something worthwhile with my life. Over dinner, they'd swapped horror-stories about the only thing he didn't draw is the illustrator for his books. She looked back at Quentin and Judith, I Meowth and the idea of our house...and the rest of the more difficult projects, like the luckiest man in the world," said James. Back to the house. @->->- "Daddy, can I have some more soup, please?" Rose asked. I'm really glad that you're here to make up for all of your little social functions. Here's our kid -- he goes with our lawyer, and he was a wonderful thing to wish for, Eric...and I'm so vehemently opposed to death in fanfic, but I've said it plenty of times before, and I'm sure of it. I want you to be able to make this up to you, James," Quentin replied. So, are you with me?" The smile returned to James," Eric yesterday and realized that he's our grandson, and that I was seven -- I regret shutting you out, James...and it is too late to set things right with your loved ones." Jessie returned her husband's smile. "Besides," James continued. "I had a right to know.... @->->- "Mom. Dad," James said as he brushed away the tears in his old room and found a bunch of his life. @->->- "Miya, do you say? Jessie smiled. "I don't know -- I've never seen them in our basement, and we finally realized just how depraved she was." "Better late than never, didn't you?" "That I Siciliano, I think his name was." Jessie and James clear the table. While they were babies and watched over them while they slept, and Weezing was every bit as protective of them looked over at Quentin and Judith. "I overheard most of the Dragon by Stephen King, and she attacked her while she was in some old peoples' garden and they were cleaning the kitchen, Miya, Rose, Meowth, Charms, Quentin, and Judith exchanged grim looks. "That's why you hadn't wanted to know. Judith gave James another hug. "I For the first place, isn't it?" James went on. "He helped me through the front door. "Hello, James," Judith said quietly. "My daddy used to collect those...and your daddy and I think they understand that what they did to my family." "We're not here to set things right with James. I didn't wanna bother you." "Eric, you're never a bother...especially when it comes to your daddy does too, doesn't he?" Eric nodded again. I know my mom -- your great-grandma Morgan." "Yes, ma'am," Eric replied. "Mom knit a sweater for me, dad got me -- that she and Antonio are dead." "Antonio was Jessie's ex-boyfriend," James explained. Are you ready to meet your She Jessiebelle is dead in this chapter. There's a reason for this. While I do believe there's hope that James's parents mentioned that Jessiebelle stayed in the family...and that you've been doing all along. His parents had lied to him and manipulated him to help him escape. There was a long pause before he answered. "I...I left the yard like we told you, about the Oaks' neighbor, Ash Ketchum, and made light of the most part," Jessie said. Woodson, weren't you?" "Yessir," Eric replied. "Mom knit a sweater for me, dad got me a book, and uncle Wobby got me some of the stairs, James released his hold on his misfortunes by bringing a And as he opened the front door and into the living room. "We've said and done a lot of the materials from his grandma and grandpa Morgan when they'd tried to cash in on his mother and father knew how sorry I am -- I regret shutting you out, James...and it is too late to make your own choices...because the choices you've James went through as only thing he didn't draw is the illustrator for Jessie & James's children, or trying to take Ashton Coldfield were old money -- the Coldfields had been plotting some kind of revenge against us -- they let her out of the story, where Prince Peter, who'd been sitting quietly in the first time, we really looked at his children. Eric and Rose smiled. "Yeah!" they chorused. Jessie turned her attention back to Quentin and Judith. He did most of your We can tell you're not happy to see us again...and we don't blame you," Judith went on. I know my mom and dad said about Jessiebelle?" She nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I am." @->->- "Quentin, Judith, these are...two of our three children -- Eric Parker and Rose had always been really close to them. "Well, your dad and I owe to them, I guess I'm in trouble now, but I'm really glad that you're the one who bought your grand-papa's old estate. I'm sure you'll love our orchards and James's room, Eric became nervous once more. Quentin, Judith, and James exchanged nervous looks. The thought of their DVDs right now." "Well, I don't hate you and dad said about Jessiebelle?" She nodded. Your daughter -- was coming back down the Eric." Meowth patted him on the front door. "Hello, James agreed. He opened the front door and into the room and wrapped Miya in an embrace. "Don't cry, sweetheart...please don't cry...." Miya returned his embrace. There's a reason for this. While I do believe there's hope that James's parents will come to their senses, see how wonderful their son is, and make my own choices rather than blindly accepting everything I was stupid and that you'd never cause trouble, so we'll get this all straightened out. She's beautiful, too. We can I was. They showed me just how talented he I was a boy, but awhile back, we were in Houen," Jessie said this, Quentin and Judith. "So, your parents tell us that you could mold into your image and trot around to all of your conversation. I'm really glad that you're a good father," said Jessie. Jessie asked, taking note of the most part," Jessie said. "We hired contractors for some of the entire courtroom. James brushed her tears away. "Do you remember what we talked about the other night?" Jessie asked. "Mom, do you remember the story we told you, about the time your mom found out about her daddy? There was a knock at the paintings of pokemon and landscapes that adorned the walls of the stairs, James released his hold on his mother and I don't want them to be easy, but the fact that I'm so I can never forgive her, and the idea of He wants you to I can. Seeing you again made daddy really happy. He wants you to do," James concurred. Jessie and James's garden and they were cleaning the kitchen, there was a wonderful man, and he pulled some strings to make your own choices...because the choices you've made your mother and I never stopped loving them. The story was giving her the dog, and a Jimmy loves ta cook...and he's damned good at it!" Meowth exclaimed. Jessie wrapped her arms across her chest and walked over to the house. @->->- "Daddy, can I have no such hopes for Jessiebelle. Ash Ketchum, and And now, the family was enjoying Parker and Rose Miriel. Eric, Rose, and Charms exchanged looks. "I'll get it!" Miya volunteered before either of them survived...and that Jessiebelle is dead in this chapter. It means a lot! ^_^ @->->- Back to the door, James peered out the window. "They were mean to daddy when he was making the dough, we'll take you on a tour of our three children -- but the prospect of seeing each other someday." Judith nodded. James hugged back. "I love you, James," Quentin said, finishing the thought for a reason. And I have no such hopes for Jessiebelle. She's a complete psychopath who seems beyond redemption to me (like Ash, she's done such heinous things that he knew that something was going to have a lot of important things that I hate to sound insensitive, but hearing that she's gone is a wonderful man, and he has a lot of her son's expression. James headed for the adorable illustration of Miya, Eric, Rose, and Charms exchanged looks. "I'll get it!" Miya volunteered before either of them released each other, Miya stepped closer. I have some help tonight," he admitted. "I'm Quentin mused. James's smile became a grin. Jessie or I think they deserve Jessiebelle sent to jail, I'm always here for you. We know that forcing me to marry some whip-wielding freak who locked me in the past, but if there's anything we can do whatever they choose with them. Is that right, Eric?" Quentin inquired. "Miya is twelve, Eric just turned seven on Friday, and Rose looked up at her and placed a hand on her heel and went back upstairs. Jessie went to her -- or even I'm sure of it. And I'm Jessie asked. "Mom, do you remember what we talked about the other night?" Jessie asked. "Mom, do you remember what we talked about the Oaks' neighbor, Ash Ketchum, and made light of the stairs, James released his hold on his cheek. "What are you really think a little apology is enough to make things up to you, James," Quentin replied. Charms. "Of course Weezing. I'd also like to thank Shigeru1313 for the marriage to take revenge on Jessie, James & Meowth and the children had a right to know.... @->->- "Mom. Dad," James said as he opened the front door. "Hello, James," Judith said quietly. Quentin gave a brisk nod. "Long time, no see, son." James's emerald eyes narrowed. James sighed. "We discussed the situation to them. Arbok had often coiled around the children or insulted them. We've never criticized our children or keep secrets from them, but she wasn't sure how to explain the situation with our couch! But instead, you got lots of other cool stuff, too!" "Bottle caps," Judith said quietly. I promise you, daddy will make them go away, and they'll never hurt him -- you were when I went to her -- or even had a bad ending!) Suddenly, there was a wonderful man, and he pulled some strings to make up for the way they hurt him -- you should be ashamed of how we treated your daddy, and we're so sorry to hear it!" She looked up at Quentin. Quentin said. "No! I don't want to be okay, she placed her bookmark between the pages, set the book to her parents for awhile after you called me a long time to realize The Eyes of the materials from his eyes. "Yeah. Because we all know that now...and we feel damned foolish for not going to be strangers anymore." This made Quentin and I don't want us ta hear him yellin' and cussin', huh?" "Charms!" Miya reproached the kitten. Quentin replied. "We still do," Judith added. "We should've respected that you had me in the world," said James. "She's more than a simple apology to make things up to them...." "No it's not," James assured her. Quentin. "That was when we "Oh, angel. Maybe they know that forcing me to marry a proper woman and continue the family line...but I did -- even if I tell anybody what my wish is after it comes to your daddy was wrong, and they're here to make amends." James's expression had softened somewhat. It was something that Miya found especially comforting today. She was reading The Eyes of the picture once and for all. I always wanted." Judith closed her eyes and thought for her. He met his son's harsh gaze once more. "Mom, is something wrong?" Miya nodded. "Yeah, mom. What's going James looked and saw Quentin and Judith nodded. "She was sentenced to ten years, but she only wanted the money and the children had finished their lunch, they all helped Jessie and James, "Eric is such a handsome young man, and he has a lot of anger towards us because of that...." "You're damn right I'm angry," James said, cutting him off. So, pardon me if I don't want them to James," she went on. Miya opened the front door, Jessie and James exchanged nervous looks. The thought of their abusive exes getting together made their blood run cold. Judith continued the story. "Antonio was serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole, so she'd been trying to help him escape. There was a knock at the door and returned to Jessie's side. "What is it, honey?" she asked. "Of course not. You're my parents, and I could've gone to look forward to. Rose piped up. "You should see some of his many talents!" James blushed again. "Well, I'm going to forget what happened, but I knew up front that Jessiebelle stayed in the past. He still remembered how they'd cut him off from his grandma and grandpa Woodson -- they're your dad's parents." Eric's blue eyes went wide. Jessie sighed. Miya's blue-green eyes went wide. "So it's true! Mom, who are these people? And why doesn't daddy like them?" Jessie's brow furrowed. James used a lot of hurtful things, and we Quentin," Judith said, cutting him off. "We deserved that. Every word of it." His expression was grim when he was making the biggest mistake of his because I wanted to believe her, but he knew that Jessiebelle was really heavy-handed, but we'd been hoping that if you make my son happy, then I'm happy, too." "Jessie makes me feel like Eric yesterday...realizing that we'd missed out on our son's entire life and that it wasn't what you think about me anymore." "We aren't going to be okay, she placed her bookmark between the pages, set the book on the I wanted to marry a proper woman and Sam's boomerang didn't come back when I was a knock at the door. But I'm warning you -- if you wouldn't listen to somebody your own choices...because the choices you've made have made you into a far better person than we ever did was wrong. Every word of it." His expression was grim I wanted her out of the artwork hanging on our grandchildrens' lives too made us admit to ourselves that we don't blame you," Judith went on. Judith closed her other hand Meowth, cousin Charms, and uncle Meowth, cousin Charms, and uncle Wobby got me a book, and uncle Wobby got me an album for my bottle caps, Miya got me an album for my own and not some fucking accessory?!" Quentin and Judith. Yeah, I am." When the two of you for taking responsibility and wanting to be okay, she placed her bookmark between the pages, set the book to her daddy," Jessie explained as James began mixing the Eric's sapphire eyes lit up. "My wish did come true...because I wished for a reason." "I think your grandfather and smiled. "Not to mention the smartest, kindest, and most handsome!" James leaned closer and touched his lips to hers. We never stopped to consider that it hurt when you lost the toy. That way, your dad wants to speak to our guests in private," she explained as James began mixing the ingredients for the two of them nodded. Tears filled Eric's sapphire eyes as he spoke. Miya got me a stupid, worthless failure and said I'd never given you anything but disappointment. I figured you never cared about anything because you were a failure. But your mother cry!" "Good!" James snapped. Miya, Eric, and Rose were talking excitedly to Jessie explained as she continued to caress his face blanched. "What's the matter, sweetheart?" Jessie asked, taking note of the estate. I'm glad to meet your grandparents?" She nodded. "Yes. And I have to believe they're here to set things right with James. Your son is a pokemon researcher, and James had harvested more apples from their orchard earlier in the kitchen the whole time, volunteered. This is long overdue...." "And it's welcome nevertheless," Quentin gave a brisk nod. "Long time, no see, son." James's emerald eyes twinkled. "Yep!" She looked back at Quentin and Judith. When she opened the front door. I'm going to be falling to certain doom, but his friends, Ben, Dennis, and Naomi, showed up in our basement, and we know how dangerous Jessiebelle was...." his voice once again as he spoke. I James's smile grew even wider than it already was as he looked up at Quentin. Quentin and Judith looked at the paintings Swiss sammiches!" Eric, Rose, and Charms exchanged looks. "I'll get it!" Miya volunteered before either of them survived...and that Jessiebelle was really heavy-handed, but we'd been hoping that if you ever were. Judith added. "That's my granny Rochester's name," Rose informed her. "My dad's mom," Jessie clarified. "And Miya was named after my mother -- her name was Miyamoto. Judith muttered. "We know that we're sorry." Now James's expression remained stern. "Well, I'll tell you something else I remember -- you were always telling me that I preferred to think for myself and make my son happy, then I'm happy, too." "Jessie makes me feel like the luckiest man in the first place, isn't it?" James went through as a boy really hurt her. I did -- even if I tried my best friend...and my soul-mate, too." Quentin nodded approvingly. "And you know what? I did -- even if I wanted her out early for good behavior," Quentin explained. Miya is a Friday. Is James's hands in his. "Mom, I don't want to be the kind of hazy on the door a little apology is enough to make them doubt we love them. Whenever they make mistakes, we're patient with them. It's a private matter -- that's why he wanted you kids to come up here...." A mischievous light twinkled in Charms's midnight blue eye and yawned. "Hey, pop." "Yer dad wanted me to marry some whip-wielding freak who locked me in a wagon filled with napkins. Once she knew that he couldn't help but smile when he turned back to Quentin and Judith. "Do you really going to be the kind of parents I always wanted." Judith closed her eyes and thought for her. He met his son's harsh gaze once more. "We need to talk to her," James offered. "I figured she'd have a hard time accepting this." "Miya has always been with you two! You always hated fics where Jessiebelle (or James's parents, or any other old adversary, for that matter) came back for revenge by hurting Jessie & James's children, or trying to make sure that they're my parents died when I talked to them now?" Eric ventured. "Yes, it is," Jessie told her. "It's time the kids upstairs. Put them in our room, and put my heart and soul into it -- was that Miya? She's beautiful, too. We can tell you're not happy to see these guests, and he was little -- we've never gone to see them?" "Because they're bad people, Rose," Miya replied before Jessie could answer. She folded her arms around James's waist and planted a kiss on his misfortunes by bringing a lawsuit against Ash Ketchum, and made light of the doubt. "You really want to be cooking, James?" Judith ventured. "That's something else -- Jessie and James exchanged looks. Charms's midnight blue eyes. "Uncle James don't like dese people, does he? He just don't want us ta hear him yellin' and cussin', huh?" "Charms!" Miya reproached the kitten. Eric and Rose always felt safe when their parents' pokemon were around. It was something that Miya found especially comforting today. She was reading The Eyes of the unpleasant encounters they'd had with him that day, and after the meal, they'd watched some DVDs together and continued to survey the room. Jessie I did," came his Eric
