"Maria. I need your help."Veronica asks her friend, while they were sitting in Veronica's and Alice's room.

Maria, who is sitting on the couch, takes a sip of her tea and asks"What kind of help."

"Well.... I think I accidentally taught Nevada a few bad words."Veronica answers awkwardly.

Hearing her, she puts her tea down and looks at Veronica and then Nevada, who is sitting on her lap. With a calm voice, she asks"What kind of words?"

"Fuck."Nevada just says and Marias eyes grow big from surprise. She stares at Veronica and then says"Well. Now you done it. Interesting how angry will Alice be?"

"Maria. You gotta help me. Alice will be angry, that I taught him to curse."Veronica cries out and Maria looks at her. Her face slowly turns sadistic and says"Hoooo. Veronica, the emotionless woman, who never needed help from anybody...Now needs my help...Why should I help you?"

"Come on Maria. You still owe me from that time."Veronica reminds to Maria, whos face goes red after she remembers that time. With a now defeated look, she says"Okay. I'll help you."

"Thanks."Veronica thanks her and ask"So how do we stop him from cursing?"

"Hmm. Maybe make him understand, that it's a bad word."she suggest and Veronica replies after thinking about it for a few seconds"Well..It's start, so lets try again."

Veronica puts Nevada onto the bed and tells him"Nevada. You can't say that word. It's a very bad word."

"Fuck."Nevada says and Veronica tells him again "No Nevada. You can't say that word. Only adults can?"

"Why the fuck?"he asks in a childish voice and Veronica mutters"It's worse."

"Let me try."Maria tells her and sits down onto the bed."Okay. Nevada. If you say that word and mom hears it, she will be very sad. Do you want sad mom?"

"No."he replies weakly.

"So you promise not to say that word?"She asks Nevada, who nods. Seeing that he agreed, she pats his head, which he likes and it could be clearly be seen from his satisfied face. Nevada has planned to keep repeating "fuck" for a while, but he doesn't want to see Veronica get in trouble with Alice because of him, so he decided to stop.

"Well at least this got solved. Thanks Maria."Veronica thanks her and she replies"Yeah. No problem. But I find it funny how I am better at dealing with him then you."

Veronica lets out a sigh and then covers Nevada's ears, so he wouldn't hear her. Nevada turns his head to look at her for a few seconds with a curious face, but sees that she isn't looking at her. So she looks in front of him and decides to be quiet.

"You know very well that I don't like little kids. They are so loud, annoying and the list goes on and on. Beside you, no one knows that. Not even Alice."Veronica tells her friend, who replies"I know. But the kid, whos ears you are holding currently, is different. Isn't he?"

"I guess so. He doesn't cry and behaves pretty. Well most of the times."Veronica says and hearing her, Maria says"Yeah. I know. Because I babysit him a lot and have probably done more stuff with him then you."

"I guess so. I just don't know what to do with him. His too young currently, to have something in common with. I never knew my parents and lived alone in a cell for ten years."Veronica says with a sad voice the last part. She also forgets to hold his ears and from now, he could hear the two womans talk.

"I've heard some of the story, but never the full story. Why don't you tell me?"Maria asks and takes Nevada onto her lap.

"Not much to talk about."Veronica continues"Born as a Vampire Princess, I was thrown into a cell for ten year and never even met my parents. I was rescued by Alice, who took me here. She was the first kind person to me and so I fell in love with her quickly. So after training for ten years and getting my Mask, I decided to confess to her. She accepted it and like you could see, we ended up married soon. This was all before you and your brother got here."

"I see. Before me and Carl...got here."Maria says in a sad tone and when Veronica sees her condition, she apologizes"Sorry Maria. I brought him up."

Maria sniffs a few times and replies"Yeah. It's fine. It's fine."

As for Nevada, when he hears Marias change of tone, after her brother was mentioned, he understands that he is a sensitive topic to her and judging from her tone, he most likely has died.

And so Nevada hugs Maria, in attempt to cheer her up. He looks at her face, while looking up and says in a childish tone"Wolfy."

Veronica sniggers and says"Wolfy."

"Veronica."Maria yells her name and she just laughs. The mood immediately changed in the room and this means that Nevada was successful.

"Wolfy."he repeats again and this time Maria hugs him gently and lovingly.

Veronica seeing this, smiles and says"How sweet. If you want, I can give him to you after he gets his Mask."

"What do you mean 'Give him to me'?"Maris asks her and Veronica only smiles to her. After a few seconds, she realises what she meant and immediately blushes.

"Veronica. W-what are you t-talking about?"Maria stutters on few words and Veronica, who noticed that, decides to tease her even more"Ooh. You stuttered. So you actually like that idea. Don't worry. You have my blessing and Alice would probably give hers too."

"Veronica."Maria says in a loud voice and Veronica just keeps laughing. While doing that, Veronica looks at Nevada and asks"Nevada. Do you want Wolfy?"

Hearing her question, he immediately nods and hugs her even tighter. Veronica points at him and says"See. Even he wants you. So it's decided."

"Oii. Don't decide anything."Maria snaps back at her.

"But are you going to make Nevada sad and reject him now?"Veronica asks in a fake sad tone.

"His only one. He doesn't even know what a couples are or even do."Maria says and Nevada on her lap, says"Sex."

Both of them look at him, after hearing him and just stares quietly.

"Veronica!"Maria yells.

"Sorry!"she apologizes immediately.

One month has passed and today, Alice was coming home from her successful mission. So right now, she was in the Citadel and walking back to her room, from her sisters office, where he had to give a report.

As for Veronica, the past few days have been horrible. Nevada started to repeat all the curse words, that he had heard Veronica ever says. So she knew she was in so much trouble and Maria was away too, so she couldn't help her either. So she was in a serious trouble, If Alice heard him.

"Nevada. Please don't says that word."Veronica begs her son, who replies"Fucking asshole."

"Haaaaah. I seriously need to stop cursing."she cries out. She knows that Alice has returned, because she could feel her blood partner coming a long time ago.

"Please don't say it?"Veronica begs Nevada.

"Say what?"Alice, who had finally reached her room, asks.

"Um nothing."Veronica replies awkwardly and for Nevada, he reaches his hands towards Alice.

"Little Fox missed me. Come here."she says and picks her up into her arms. While holding him, she asks"So did mama teach you anything new?"

"Yes."he replies to her.

'Fuck. Please Nevada don't tell her, that you accidentally learned curse words from me. Please Nevada.'Veronica was thinking, while looking at the two.

"Could you tell me what she thought?"Alice asks her and a long silence follows. No one says a word and Veronica is hoping that he doesn't curse. Nevada opens his mouth and says"I love mom."

"Little Fox."Alice says in a happy voice and even slightly starts to cry happy tears. She hugs him and just starts to walk around the room from happiness, while Veronica is looking. While she looks at him, she sees him....smirking.

'Did he. Did he just really? You Fox.'
