As she entered into the Sinclair house, the Chief of Surgery couldn’t help but reminisce about bygone days when she was a girl, long before she was adopted into the Davies family and still lived in the Sunken House, just off of Lyon Park. Wednesday had spent years denying that she remembered that part of her life but the truth of the matter was that she clung to those memories like they were a rope she was hanging from, it was those memories that shaped her, made her and defined her. From the small, overgrown garden where her birth parents Leaf and Plum, as they called themselves, grew their hallucinogens, smoked their weed and shot up their heroin, a young Wednesday could just about see Hanging Hill and Scott Street in the distance. She could see the first row of houses from behind and often wondered what it would be like to live in such castles. Whenever she told her Daddy that she wanted to be a princess in a White House, he would laugh and tell her that she belonged to Mother Earth. He would tell her that people like them ate the people that lived in those houses, metaphorically speaking, and they did so because they were happy and the people behind the white picket fences were not. Wednesday did wonder in hindsight if her father thought about that when he forced the drugs into his wife’s system and watched her choke on her own vomit. She pondered whether he thought he was happy when he mummified her and sealed her inside of the bathroom wall. The Good Doctor was curious whether he felt that way when he left her alone in the house and never came back. To most, a great tragedy but for Wednesday it was a blessing. For thirty nine days, the seven year old was alone in the Sunken house and she fought for her life. She rummaged for food, she maintained what she could to stay clean and through sheer force of willpower, she survived and persevered until help would arrive. She was self reliant and needed to be as she entered the orphanage. Wednesday would not die in the walls like her mother, she would scratch and claw and she would prove to everyone that happiness was not starving. She would not starve. She was fourteen when she was finally adopted into the Davies family and moved into one of the white castles she had dreamt of as a girl. When she explored her new home on Scott Street, Wednesday made her way to the front side of the five houses that haunted her days and from one emerged a boy, a handsome boy with a big grin and flanked by three guards who definitely were on the wrong side of the tracks. That was the first time that Wednesday met Hector and his brothers and it was that day that she finally made it inside her dream house, the house in which she now stood nearly thirty years later. Wednesday was in her forties now, with two beautiful girls she worshipped and a husband whom she loved dearly. She had entrenched herself with the princes and princesses of Scott Street, becoming family to them all in one way or another. With her job, she had become their gatekeeper between life and death. Their lives were in her hands every time she picked up a scalpel and she knew that her father was wrong; she wasn’t born to eat their happiness. Dropping her bag onto the marble floors with a large thump, Wednesday outstretched her arms. [color=8790BF]“YOOHOOOOOO! Your favourite auntie is hereeee. Someone bring me a beer!”[/color] [color=E85546]“Auntie!”[/color] Caroline called out from the kitchen. The youngest Sinclair was in the midst of baking goodies galore, which included brownies with a little extra something. It was her first time making it but after doing a little research, it wasn’t that hard at all. She was prepping a few other things, aiming to bake until she absolutely couldn’t bake anymore. She had plenty of time before she had to change into her bathing suit, which meant she’d keep going until there was no counter space. Plus, with her efforts, they would only need to worry about ordering pizza and wings later. Niles, who had finished hanging the streamers throughout the living room, didn't greet his aunt. Instead he tried to casually leave through the back entrance. He didn’t want to be interrogated about Caitlin or about the fact that he needed to disappear for a little bit before the party actually started. He had time and his sisters were totally okay with him going on a coffee break. Totally cool with it. This is why before his aunt Wednesday could notice his presence, he [i]needed[/i] to skedaddle. When he reached the backdoor, he was met with the insufferable Sinclair. Autumn. She had been outside deciding what lighting setting to put the pool and jacuzzi on. Not only that but she was multitasking and making a charcuterie board using the patio table as counter space, under Carrie’s request. That girl wanted to make a s'mores bar too. Autumn had to admit it. Carrie knew how to tire her siblings out when it came to throwing a party. Still, it was fun and she loved being together with them. [color=#9DC18A]“Going on your coffee date?”[/color] Autumn asked, talking loud enough so Wednesday could hear her. She was immediately met with a glare. Typical Niles’ behaviour. [color=E85546]“Coming Auntie!”[/color] Carrie announced, still rummaging throughout the kitchen (the one clearly busy with work). She didn’t like making people wait, especially not those she considers family. Even more so if they are authority figures, which Wednesday has been kind of like a mother to her, her sister, and her brother. She was there when their family needed someone the most. After Noella died, Auntie Wednesday always made sure to make time for them. Carrie loved her so much. [color=8790BF]“A coffee date, Nilios and you didn’t tell your favourite Auntie? How dare?”[/color] Wednesday feigned being offended as she slid into the conversation with pure ease. The surgeon had always loved the Sinclairs as if they were her own. Niles, Carrie and Autumn were as loved as Dallas and Adelaide were or Allison, Lexie, Roxanne and Tati. They were woven into her very being even if they were not blood related and she would do anything for Hector's kids and she had done anything, and everything, for them. [color=8790BF]“Is she hot? She better be because I won’t accept anything less if she’s going to be the reason you don’t take that internship at the hospital with me.”[/color] Wednesdays patted the top of her nephew’s head with a giggle. He was just like Hector, so easy to rile up. When Caroline arrived with an ice cold beer from the fridge, with a cute [url=https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2022/06/16/62ab75344f1a29df087e5944/m_62ab756d800f64cb1bea37d8.jpg]apron[/url] on too, Wed kissed her blonde niece on the top of her head as she took the bottle from her hand and instantly took a large swig. [color=8790BF]“Thank you, Pumpkin.”[/color] It was nice to take the edge off after spending your day with your hands in someone’s guts. Wednesday glanced around at the decorations the twins had put up and let out a little laugh as she reminisced about the parties their father would throw in that very house when they were the kids' age; they were certainly very different. [color=8790BF]“And you girls, you got some special men or women or whatever you’re into coming?”[/color] The Good Doctor had learned from her youngest daughter that sex was barely anything to think about anymore. People just loved people. [color=8790BF]“Does Auntie Wed need to get her bikini out? You know I’ve still got a rocking bod underneath these scrubs.”[/color] [color=#9DC18A]“Fuck no,”[/color] Autie snorted, the sourness from her recent breakup oozing from her very being. [color=#9DC18A]“And I don’t plan on getting another man anytime soon.”[/color] So she says, but kids were fickle. Followed their heart, just like Niles was about to. [color=E85546]“For once we’re all single at the same time, so that’s fun,”[/color] Carrie smiled, seeing there was chocolate on her hand she quickly licked it off before continuing, [color=E85546]“Both Niles and Autie got dumped recently.” [/color] [color=#9DC18A]“Excuse me,”[/color] Autumn marched to her twin, hissing, [color=#9DC18A]“I dumped him. He didn’t dump me. You got it?”[/color] Her smile turned into a minx grin. Carrie nodded in faux agreement. [color=E85546]“Sure, yes. Whatever you say.”[/color] Niles getting caught in trying to escape caused him to huff. He didn’t want to rudely leave his aunt now that she’s [i]seen[/i]. Turning around, he looked at her at a distance before following Autie’s suit and entering the foyer. Running his hand through his hair, sighing deeply, he looked at the ladies in the house before crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame. [color=19C8AC]“I’m still taking that internship. I’ve just got a lot going on.”[/color] Which wasn’t a lie since he and Lex had to take care of Clay all of Monday night. Then when he did finally get home, he not only found out Caitlin was David’s lover but she also broke up with him to be with Mikhai. So yeah, one could say there was a lot happening in Niles Sinclair’s life. [color=8790BF]“Oh boo hoo, Nilios this whole brooding bad boy thing didn’t work for your Dad and it doesn’t work for you. You’re too rich for that shit.”[/color] Wednesday polished off her beer in a second gulp and handed the bottle back to Carrie. [color=8790BF]“Can I get another, oh niece of mine? You’re a doll.” [/color] Carrie was never one to protest and nodded gleefully. The obedient Disney-loving girl pranced back into the kitchen, which also allowed her time to check on the dessert in the oven. Grabbing another beer, she took a sip and made a face. Beer was… okay. She likes pina coladas most. Or strawberry daiquiris! See, Carrie wasn’t completely vanilla like her peers thought. Thanks to Autumn, she’s tried more drinks than she ever thought she would before the age of eighteen. Walking over to her nephew, the gorgeous blonde placed her hands on his face and with her big blue eyes stared into his soul. It was a technique she had used since he was a little boy. Niles always had an anger in him, he always had demons, something she knew quite well in her own life. [color=8790BF]“Forget about what you’ve got going on. You have a lady that’s willing to touch your dick…well maybe…you focus on her and making sure you treat her like a fucking goddess.”[/color] Taking one hand away, Wednesday reached into the top pocket of her scrubs and pulled out some money. [color=8790BF]“I was saving this for the stripper but I’d rather you spend it wisely.”[/color] She stuffed the wad of cash into his jeans before slapping his face. [color=8790BF]“Too much cologne. Go wash it off and try again before you go.”[/color] Niles didn’t know if he should be embarrassed, frustrated or thankful for his aunt’s unwarranted advice. Though when she brought up the possibility of Kianna wanting to touch his dick, maybe, that set his mind in a different direction he was trying to avoid. He needed to be wholesome so he didn’t scare Ki away. Sniffing himself, he did wonder if she was right about the cologne. Was he going too hard? Regardless if he wanted her advice or not, he was quick to leave her side and go upstairs. Turning around, the older woman undid the ponytail in her straw coloured hair and let it fall loose around her shoulders. [color=8790BF]“As for you…”[/color] She looked at Autumn with a smile. She reminded her so much of herself when she was that age. [color=8790BF]“You can always do better. Wear your red bikini tonight. It’s absolutely your color. And make sure, you make them work for it.”[/color] Autie couldn’t protest her aunt’s words. Red [b]was[/b] her color. And if anything, Derrick was going to be sorry for ever letting her go. [color=#9DC18A]“Yeah, you’re right. Anyways, I’m sure dad knows, but we’re using his booze. I’m starting now.”[/color] There was a moment where Autumn thought about all the good things that could happen at this party. When she thought about her friends and just having a reason to be dumb with them, she smiled. Quickly, she hugged her aunt before dismissing herself to get herself a shot of something. Maybe tequila. At this point, Carrie returned with a second beer and offered it to the older woman. [color=E85546]“Auntie, do you think… I could find someone? I’m no Niles or Autumn but maybe tonight could be different.” [/color] Wednesday smiled at Caroline and wrapped her arm around the small blonde as she took the beer off of her. [color=8790BF]“Of course you could find someone Carrie and you don’t have to be like Niles or Autie. You only have to be you.”[/color] The doctor took another deep swill from her new beverage. [color=8790BF]“Listen, we’re all infinitely different. We like who we like, we like what we like and we put out into the world what we want. When I was your age, my friend Ronnie, an absolutely gorgeous girl, like you, still is in fact but I digress…”[/color] Wed guided Carrie out into the garden where much of the decoration had taken place and towards the edge, where from down the hill, one could see the entire town. [color=8790BF]“Ronnie had this attitude, she was a cheerleader but she’d come to practise in this sick leather jacket, wearing plaid skirts and jamming out to Incubus or some shit. But when you spoke to her, she was honestly the most warm and loving person you could imagine and shy too. I don’t think she ever had a boyfriend in high school until there was a party. A party at this very house and she met a drummer, hot piece of ass he was and they clicked.”[/color] Wednesday brushed a strand of Carrie’s hair behind her ear and smiled. [color=8790BF]“Point I’m trying to make, pumpkin spice, is that you only ever need to be yourself and you’ll find what you’re looking for. You just have to put yourself out there. There is an entire world beyond that horizon. It’s yours for the taking.”[/color] [color=E85546]“Ronnie…”[/color] Carrie whispered, a sudden glint of curiosity in her eyes. [color=E85546]“Do you mean Ronnie Decker? Charlie Decker’s mother?”[/color] There was an abrupt realization that her father might be more connected than she realized. Or maybe back then, the lines weren’t as concrete between southside and northside. Maybe back then everyone was friends with everyone. [color=E85546]“Dad was friends with her? Or… was she just going to one of his parties?”[/color] The bubbly blonde had shifted into detective mode. This wouldn’t be the first time she felt like there was more to her father than he gave off and when she met those southies the other day, she watched them and saw how they carried themselves wasn’t too different from how her father carries himself, when he isn’t in the eyes of the public. [color=8790BF]“She was a Clover, sweetie. They went to every party, you know that.”[/color] Wednesday glanced out at the skyline and the town below. In the distance she could see the Sunken house, not too far from where Ronnie lived now herself. [color=8790BF]“Anyway don’t change the subject. Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight.”[/color] She stood before her niece and like she had done with Niles moments earlier, placed her hands on her pretty little face, avoiding brushing the cold beer bottle against it. [color=8790BF]“Tonight you’re gonna push the boat out a bit. Wear something a little bit sexy, bring the attention onto you and then, you’re gonna show them that underneath the Disney princess is a fucking warrior. You’re a sexy bitch and you’re gonna eat some poor fucker alive.”[/color] With widened eyes, Carrie profusely nodded, hanging on every word Wednesday said. Sexy. She could [i]totally[/i] do sexy. With all the sexy friends she had, including her twin, there’s no doubt she could pull sexy off. All she had to do was be a modern day Disney princess and find a poor boy and make him her’s. This was the Rapunzal era and if needed, she’d use a frying pan to whack her competition away from her Flynn. Instead of a response leaving her lips, her body jumped at the sound of the oven going off. [color=E85546]“Oh! My brownies!”[/color] Before scampering off, she embraced her aunt one last time and excitably thanked her for such sage words. As she watched her little niece run away, Wednesday called back to her. [color=8790BF]“They better be pot brownies Carrie or I’m throwing you down this damn hill!”[/color] When she was a girl it was neon lights, drugs and hard liquor when it came to a teenage party. Here she could see her kin putting up streamers and decorations. [i]Planning.[/i] She was borderline embarrassed. [color=E85546]“They are [i]special[/i], I promise!”[/color] Carrie happily yelled back as she entered the backdoor. At the same time, Niles came out to meet the older woman so she could give him one last glance before he left. He was seeking her approval which he would never admit. Something to this day, Hector still did. Hell, it was Wednesday who fixed the Doctor’s ties, seeing how the one woman he was sexually involved with was married and had limited time. Wednesday spent all day everyday with the pain in the ass so she knew the kids’ father like the back of her hand. Something likely the Sinclair children didn’t realize, since she became such a pivotal figure in their lives. Approaching her in the garden, Niles cleared his throat, revealing the information that he was sure she wanted to know, [color=19C8AC]“Kianna. That’s her name.”[/color] [color=8790BF]“Kianna.”[/color] Wednesday pondered as she finished off her beer and tossed it into the glass recycle. She knew the girl very well. Kimora’s daughter. Sleeping dogs and all that, she feigned some ignorance. [color=8790BF]“Is that the girl from the garage? She’s very pretty. You done good, Niles.”[/color] She didn’t give her nephew much time to answer before she approached him and drank in his visage. He was so much like his father, seeing him standing there was like a window to 1996 and the best times of her life. [color=8790BF]“Much better.”[/color] She tapped his broad chest with her palm. [color=8790BF]“Before you dip out there’s a crate of booze in my car, bring it in. Auntie Wednesday is gonna go have one of Carrie’s special brownies.”[/color] Before she breezes past him, the surgeon leaned and kissed his cheek. [color=8790BF]“Remember Nilios, treat her like a goddess and leave the dark here. I’ll take care of it until you get back. I’m proud of you.”[/color] She smiled before stretching out her arms as she began to walk away. [color=8790BF]“GIRLS! I need to see the music situation! If I see one Taylor Swift song I am burning this house to the ground!”[/color] [color=19C8AC]“Right…”[/color] Niles muttered, as he watched his aunt saunter away. [i]Treat her like a goddess.[/i] That was the plan, if Kianna took a chance on him. [/indent][/indent][/color]
