#kidgetober

Pidge groaned. Why, oh why! Of course the first frost would come on the dawn of her deadline for her last project. Honestly, at this point she’d been up for over 36 hours. All she dreamed of was her warm bed. Yet here she was. In the garden. With her parents and brother. At 4. AM. In the cold. Stumbling over roots and rocks. All while covering her mom’s precious plants with some old sheets. While her fingers stiffened and fumbled. Damn she hated being cold! It was seriously too early for this.

“Mom! You know you have a greenhouse right? Why are you still doing this in the outdoors?” Yawning, her knees buckled when her brother knocked the back of her knees. Hissing a quick “Asshole!” She tried to kick back.

Matt chuckled, “Oops!”

Pidge sighed, “Fuck off Matt! I’m seriously too tired for your sophomoric bs.”

“Language! Less swearing and more covering!” Colleen called out in a sing song voice. Honestly how is the woman this cheerful this damn early in the morning?! At least he dad looked like a zombie too.

“Yes Mom!” Both male and female voices ring out while trying to look busy and avoiding each other’s gaze.

Pidge quickly sticks out her tongue at her brother and takes another step forward, tripping for the hundredth time, until a pair of strong arms encircle her. Blinking up, she turns and stares into Keith’s eyes?!

“Okay, now I’m seriously dreaming.”

Keith grins, “I gotta say, if this was a dream…we gotta work on your imagination Holt.” Lowering his voice he continues, “Cause this is not what my dreams of us look like! Now if you were on your knees-”

Matt shakes his head, snapping a sheet at Keith. “Dude, I have no interest in hearing about what dirty dreams you have about my sister!”

Keith instantly flushes red, “Um, yeah, no. That’s not what I was saying! I didn’t mean-”

Pidge smirks, “Really? I thought you had I-mag-in-ation!”

Keith groans, “Damn it Katie, let’s not do this in front of your family!”

She smiles more widely, “Of course not! I’m not DOING you in front of my family. But, there is more! Do tell! Are we-”

Suddenly Colleen is in front of them both, “Look, I appreciate young love as much as the next mom, but seriously right now, get to work. My babies are freezing. Now, if you want to really make me a grandma, well we can talk about that over coffee as soon as we are done here. But know, I am old school, because I do believe in marriage before babies!”

This time I decided to do something based on my fanfic "Una vez en un sueño", this could be considered to be a little "spoiler" about what is to come later.

I'll leave the link in case someone wants to read it!

An Unlikely Couple

Summary:

At age 25, Katie Holt had her doctorate astrophysics, worked on so many things, patented even more. Friends and family urged her to expand her horizons, and what better way than to read.

She fell in love with murder mysteries, and as such, tried to write her own. However, so far so bad.

"Your Killer is dumb." A voice said. Pidge's eyes snapped open and she rose to look at the source.

"And you are...?"

The raven-haired man shrugged. "Just a man who read your draft. Anyway, your killer is a fool. You can't kidnap someone like that. Chloroform takes five minutes to work." He leaned back and smirked. "I'm a serial killer." He folded his arms, looking smug.

Pidge laughed. It resounded throughout the café. The raven-haired man didn't seem fazed.

"You're a serial killer?! What a joke!”

"You don't believe me? Fine. Wait until I show up in your house with a cutlass.”

"I dare you, bitch.”
