#Belva Rudolph

"They're one in the same kiddo" Nerv winced through the last dregs of his drink as it pleasantly burnt his throat.

"What do you mean, Mr Rudolph?"

"It means champ, you need to stop calling me that, I'm Gramps to you now. Your Mum, Freddie, is my daughter and your Aunty Fred" Nerv chuckled as his index finger frantically moved from person-to-person as they were mentioned.

Sharing a mix of excited gasps and squeals, Sprout and Belva beamed at each other.

"I'M YOUR ANTY!!"

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENCE BUT YAY!"

"Not much in our family does bud, but you're welcome round anytime, family always is"

"That's one way to put it" Nerv half laughed, half sighed as he lent on the open bedroom door.

"Dad! What took you so long?"

"Well Belbo.." Nerv began, as he took a big swig of his "coffee" and lent on the dresser "..I've been having a big talk with Aunty Fred"

Belva's brow furrowed in confusion as she turned to fully face her now amused looking father.

"..Why were you talking with Aunty Fred? I thought you where talking to Sprout's grown ups?"

"I wonder how we're related" Sprout wistfully asked as Belva added the last of many hair bands to his hair.

"I've no idea! There's Rudolphs all over the place, but Dad seems to have an idea so I'm sure he'll tell us when he's back"

"I hope so.. He's been ages"

"Musta had a lot to catch up on with your grown ups"

"I think that's enough watering Bel! Can we do something else?"

"Sure! How about we play hair dresser and have leftovers?"

"Sounds great!"

"No scissors Belva!" Valentine's voice boomed from the nearby open kitchen window.

Whilst Valentine and Nerv process being Grandparents, Belva and Sprout enjoy a water balloon fight in the hot dessert sun.

"Belbo, what do you mean he's a Rudolph?"

"His last name is Rudolph too, Dad! So he MUST be family!"

"Sweetheart, who are your adults?"

"Um, kinda weird, but my Dad is a robot that my Ma made. She's green like me, well, not exactly like me, oh and she's got ALL black eyes. She can be kinda mean, but she's still my Ma"

Nerv and Valentine shared a knowing eyebrow raise as they both silently came to the same conclusion.

"Well, Sprout.. How about you stay over for a sleepover and I'll pick up an overnight bag from your adults?"

"Oh yes please! I live at.."

"It's okay, I don't need the address.." Nerv began, in an shocked, trace like state as he collected his car keys and slipped on some flip flops "..I think I know your Mum, and she has some explaining to do.."

"Mum! Dad! I made a friend at school!"

"Aw, well done Belv-"

"This is Sprout!"

"...Belva we talked about this, you need to ask before inviting someone home"

"I know Mum, but this is different! He's a Rudolph too and you always say family is always welcome!"

Some months of sisterly bonding later..

“Dad?”

“Yeah Fred?”

“What way round does she go?”

“...What do you mea-FREDDIE! Not that way!”

#Ahhh she's gonna be a great Mum #The Rudolph Legacy Continued #Continued Gen Seven #Frederica Rudolph #Nervous Subject #Belva Rudolph

“You alright to pop Bel in her swing chair while I feed the seniors?”

“Ahh.. Sure?”

[the-rudolph-legacy-continued]

There was something about this tiny human that Freddie couldn't help but melt at, or put her finger on;

Was it her rosy cheeks, her button nose, her sparkling eyes or the gentle giggles emitting from her as she rested her tiny hands onto Freddie’s cheeks that firmed as she warmly smiled?

Whatever it was, Freddie knew that she’d do anything for this little one.

#She still hates kids though. Just likes that one haha #The Rudolph Legacy Continued #Continued Gen Seven #Frederica Rudolph #Nervous Subject #Belva Rudolph

[the-rudolph-legacy-continued]

“Right!” Nervous gently boomed, making his girls jump slightly “It’s your turn”

Before Freddie could express her disdain about handling the tiny human, she was in her arms, wrapping her own tiny ones around Freddie’s neck.

Almost instinctually, Freddie hands seemed to hold her little sister in a soothing and supportive way, making Belva let small and restful coo.

“You know, holding a little one isn’t a half bad look for y Freddie” Nervous loving sighed at his girls.

“Ehh.. I don’t know about that..” Freddie began as she awkwardly patted her little sister’s back before pulling away from Belva slightly to get a better look at her face.

“Yeah it’s hurricane Fred..” Nerv’s sleep deprived voice called to a half-awake Valentine as he made his way into the living room, a slightly bigger baby in his arms than Freddie thought she’d see. It had pale blonde hair with wispy light blue tips, a rosy button nose and two different coloured eyes, one her father's chocolate brown and the other her Earth Mum’s sky blue.

“Hey kid..” Nerv’s voice, although thick with the lack of sleep, was warm in fondness for his now not so little girl “..I’d like you to meet someone”

Locking her pitch black eyes with the mismatched blue and brown of her little sister’s, Freddie gently placed Bandit onto the floor and cautiously made her way over to the tiny human.

“...Can I pet it?”

“Frederica! She’s not an it!” Nerv chuckled. His eldest had never liked, or even understood, children, so while he knew Freddie would be slow to warm to her new little sister, her question cemented his adoration for his oddball.

“This is Belva, your sister”

“It.. I mean, she ain’t so little! Poor Ma.. Must be like a dropped lasagne down there”

“Jesus Christ Fred..” Nerv half laughed as he pinched the bridge of his nose with his free hand “..Glad to see the working world hasn’t worn you down yet. BUT, Belva is growing every day and has been since she was born... Four months ago..”

Finally shifting her gaze from observing the small human in her father's arm to his sheepish expression, Freddie’s mouth opened to let out one of her quick fire responses, but for the first time in her life, she was speechless.

“...Surprise?”

“Sur-surprise?! That’s all ya got?”

“Well.. You’d just got back from Uni and started your fancy new job, so we didn’t want to distract you”

“Dad.. I appreciate that, but it’s ridiculous.. What if she went feral?”
