And Molly Makes Three (An RP with Nerine)

[Bye_bye_birdie45]

Molly returned Samantha's embrace one-handedly (since her other was still rubbing her bottom) and rested her face against her friend's shoulder. "I love you too," she murmured softly.

Dean chuckled at his wife's presumptuous nature, but that was part of the reason why he loved her so much. "That I can certainly do, my love," he said with a grin, "Though I would be careful about what you pack for the little one." After all, a lot of her clothes would later become inappropriate for someone of her status; she would need new ones, much fancier ones, and he would get them for her.

"Yes, yes. Dean." She took Molly's hand in hers. "We'll meet you in the foyer when we're finished, my love!" Samantha was very happy to say the least! She lead Molly to her room and began to rummage through her clothes. They were close enough that she knew it wouldn't bother Molly too much. She began to fill Molly's large trunk at the end of her bed. "Molly, go ahead and pack some things that you want. We can send for the rest if it all doesn't fit, alright?"

[Bye_bye_birdie45]

Molly gave Count Dean a small smile as Samantha shuffled her out of the study, and, as the Countess correctly guessed, she didn't mind that her friend ruffled through her closet, though it was a tad embarrassing otherwise, because most of her dresses were hand-me-downs from her sisters, because they couldn't afford new ones. Occasionally, she would have to pull one out of the trunk that Samantha had packed, because she knew it no longer fit, and she nodded at her friend's suggestion.

In the end, she packed a silver hairbrush of hers (one with a flat back, Samantha noted), two books, a journal and a cloth doll that Samantha had given her as a little girl. The doll's dress was a little dirty, but she looked otherwise alright. Once the trunk was full, Molly clicked it shut. "It's alright, Samantha... We don't need to send for anything else..." After all, if her parents needed to, they could always sell the old clothes and earn some money.

Samantha's eyes saddened a bit. Her poor friend...Molly definitely deserved more than one trunk worth of possessions. She stepped closer to her friend's side and kissed her on the cheek. "Sometime this week, how would you like to go shopping with me? Dean won't mind...In fact, he'd probably insist on it. We want you to feel at home."

[Bye_bye_birdie45]

Molly's eyes brightened. She remembered, one year, that Samantha and the Countess' father took her shopping in the market all the rich people used, and they'd gotten her picture books and a dress (which now belonged to one of her sister's daughters). "Oh, can we? That would be lovely, Samantha!" Then she leaned over to kiss Samantha on the cheek, then stepped back with a blush, unsure if such a thing was proper.

[Nerine]

Samantha blushed a bit as well. She adored Molly...In fact, she was her first love, but Molly didn't know that of course. She took Molly's arm in hers and smiled lovingly. "It'll be fun. And," she said in a soft voice, "should your parents ever need anything, anything at all, we'd be more than happy to help. Discreetly of course."

[Bye_bye_birdie45]

Molly smiled a little at her friend's murmurs. "Thank you, Samantha..." But, since Molly was leaving (and they would have no need to make a dowry for her), her parents were likely much better off than they were before.

Then there was a soft knock at the door. "Come in," Molly called, and Dean came in with a grin on his face.

"Ahh, there are my two lovely ones," he said, and Molly found herself blushing quite a bit. Dean was an affectionate man, and she would eventually need to get used to his pet names, but that day was not today. "I spoke with your parents, Molly, and they love the idea of you staying with us for an indefinite period of time..."

[Nerine]

"Oh, that is such fantastic news!" Samantha squeezed Molly's arm affectionately. "Well, then. There is no time to lose. Molly, say your goodbyes, but don't worry, you can visit anytime, of course, and we'll take care of this trunk. Dean! Please call a servant for the trunk, dearest, and I'll make sure that the carriage is comfortable for Miss Winchester." She kissed his cheek and bustled out of the room.

Molly was in an absolute whirl-wind by the end of the afternoon. It was only a few short hours before she found herself in a carriage with both Countess and Count, after saying her goodbyes to her parents (her mother cried a little, but her father seemed haughtily proud as usual) and watching as one of Samantha's and Dean's servants. The ride was quite long, since they lived far away, and Molly was quite embarrassed to find that she had fallen asleep and woke up to Dean carrying her into their manor.

[Nerine]

Samantha was walking next to Dean when she woke. "Oh, Molly! You're awake. I hope you had a good rest, I slept awhile myself. Dean, put her down, I want to show her the suite!" When Dean set Molly down gently, Samantha took her hand and walked up the large steps. "Our home is quite large, but after a week or so, one gets used to the layout." As they walked, Samantha chatted and pointed out the various rooms in the house, Dean following behind. "Alright, now here is your suite. You may come here whenever you wish. But you're also welcome to sleep with us whenever you like." She opened the door to reveal a large room, with a four poster canopy bed, a large vanity and wardrobe, with a grand bay window that had a bench with cushions of various fabrics on it. "Oh, and you also have your own private bathroom, complete with a bathtub and water closet." She looked at Molly and smiled a little nervously. "I do hope you like it? I spent some time buying new fabrics and such for your room, to make it look new..."
