Chapter 1! So here we go with Eva's story, I should warn you that the first few chapters I've planned will be sad and I hope I've written this chapter okay. I'm not sure which direction I'm going with this story yet, but I've got a few things up my sleeve yet which involves Beyond Birthday's ghost lol I've got issues with my writing skills sometimes, so I'll be taking my time with this story and if you don't like the story... just don't read it. Bad reviews kill my creativity.
I'll be going by the anime with Beyond Birthday's death date which will be on the 21st of January 2007.
This story is a follow on from Beyond This Love.
I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

26th of September 2006 - 7:25pm
Eva grabbed a hand full of popcorn out of a plastic blue bowl with her hand, she sat back on the sofa next to her Uncle A and continued to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas with him. She stuffed the popcorn into her mouth as she pulled at her Uncle's sleeve and licked her tongue out to reveal chewed up popcorn on her tongue.
" That's disgusting Eva pops!" Laughed A, he took a piece of popcorn from the bowl and placed it up his nostril." Check this one out.."
' Okay!" Smiled Eva.
A licked the piece of popcorn with his tongue, he removed it from his nostril with his tongue and ate it." Remember sweetheart, eat your greens..."
Eva swallowed the popcorn in her mouth and reached out to the blue bowl to get more popcorn as she giggled. " I want to try that!"
" No, you're only 3 years old and knowing my luck you'd get popcorn stuck up your nose. Then your mum will shout at me and don't get me started on what your dad would do to me." Sighed A, he placed the blue bowl down on the coffee table and leant back on the sofa." I want to live to see the age of 24 you know..."
Eva slumped down on the sofa, she crossed her arms and frowned as she stared at the television. " I am 3 years and 8 months old!"
" Who told you that? You still wear Pampers right?" Chuckled A.
Eva looked up at Uncle and glared at him as a smirk slowly crept across her face." I will tell my mummy on you!"
" Don't tell on your Uncle A, I was teasing you sweetheart.' Pouted A as he crossed his arms and sighed." I thought you loved me..."
Eva stood up on the sofa, she began to jump up and down on it as she yelled to her Mum in the kitchen." Mummy! Uncle A ate popcorn from up his nose! It had jimmys on it!"
A laughed as he sat up and looked over his shoulder at Eva's Mum. " She is lying SJ! She made me do it!"
" Come on you two, I thought you were watching a movie together and Aiden don't do that it's disgusting..." Smiled SJ, she walked over towards the sofa and placed a tray of drinks down on the coffee table. " Drink up sweetie, you need a bath before bedtime."
" Uncle A is a Pinocchio! Uncle A is a Pinocchio!' Sang Eva, she fell to her knees and chuckled." I don't want to go to bed yet Mummy!"
" Pinocchio..." Chuckled A, he leant back on the sofa and put his feet up on the coffee table." You've got to bath or you'll smell, Blaze won't want to play with you anymore if you stink short stuff..."
" No!" Gasped Eva.
SJ sat down next to her daughter on the sofa, she tucked some of her daughter's dark hair behind her ear and smiled."You don't smell sweetie and don't called your Uncle A a Pinocchio. I called him a silly man..."
" Silly Man!" Giggled Eva.
" Thanks for that one SJ...' Sighed A.
" You're welcome..." Smiled SJ as she picked up a plastic blue cup up from the tray and held it towards her daughter." Here we go baby, be careful... it's warm."
" Does it have strawberry jam in it?' Asked Eva, she held her hands out towards the cup and bit her lip bottom lip." It taste good with jam in it!"
" Yes your hot chocolate as strawberry jam in it, you take it like your daddy drinks it." Smiled SJ, she handed her daughter the plastic cup and sighed." You're so much like your Daddy at times sweetie..."
" Really?" Asked Eva, she blew on her hot chocolate and took a sip of it from the plastic cup." I love my Daddy!"
" I know, I love him too..." Sighed SJ, she stroked her daughter's hair and smiled." Drink up sweetie, it's getting late..."
" Okay Mummy!" Smiled Eva.
Eva drank her hot chocolate quickly, she scooped the left over strawberry jam from the bottom of the plastic cup with her fingers tips and sucked the strawberry jam from them. She burped loudly and giggled as she held her plastic cup towards her Mum.
" Done!" Shouted Eva.
" Where did that burp come from?" Laughed SJ, she took the plastic cup from her daughter and smiled." What do you say?"
" Pardon me!" Grinned Eva.
" Good girl..." Smiled SJ.
" Cookie time!" Smiled Eva, she looked over at the tray on the coffee table and licked some left over jam from her finger tips." Hmm!"
SJ got up from the sofa, she placed the plastic blue cup down on the tray and picked a cookie up from the tray." Just the one, I don't want you on a sugar high before bedtime..."
" Two!" Smiled Eva.
" Just the one baby, you can have another cookie tomorrow after dinner..." Smiled SJ, she handed a cookie to her daughter and looked over at A." I'm going to run Eva's bath in, will you watch her for me?"
" Sure." Smiled A.
" Be good for your Uncle A, I'll call you when your bath is ready." Smiled SJ.
" Okay!" Smiled Eva.
" Good girl." Smiled SJ, she kissed her daughter's forehead and sighed." Be good..."
Eva smiled up at her Mum, she watched her walked past her and slowly crawled over towards her Uncle. " Uncle A, where do the butterflies go?"
" What butterflies?" Asked A.
Eva climbed onto her Uncle's lap, she waved her cookie above her head and stared up above his head. " The butterflies that float here, where do they go?"
" I think someone as had too much strawberry jam, come here and give your Uncle A a hug..." Smiled A, he put his hand's under Eva's arms and stood her up on his knee." Tell me what's wrong?"
" I want cuddles first please..." Pouted Eva.
" Alright..." Smiled A, he pulled Eva into a hug and sighed as he wrapped his arms around her. " Now, I don't want you to worry about the butterflies. Would you like me to read you a story before you go to sleep?"
" No!" Sighed Eva.
" Talk to me sweetheart..." Frowned A.
Eva rested her head on her Uncle's shoulder, she let out a quiet sob and frowned." My Mummy's butterflies are going away..."
" Eva don't cry. Come on now, turn that frown upside down and give me a beautiful smile..." Sighed A, he gently pulled Eva away from him and wiped some of her tears away from her cheek with his blue shirt's sleeve." Don't let your Mummy see that you've been crying, you've got to be a brave girl..."
Eva slightly nodded her head as she sniffled, she placed her cookie down on the arm of the sofa and bit her bottom lips." Okay..."
" Good girl..." Smiled A, he brushed some of Eva's dark hair away from her blue eyes and sighed." Don't tell you Mummy about her butterflies sugar, you'll upset her and I don't want to see your Mummy sad..."
" I don't like when Mummy cries..." Frowned Eva.
" Neither do I short stuff..." Sighed A.
" Eva! Your bath is ready!" Called SJ from the bathroom.
" Okay Mummy!" Yelled Eva.
" Go and have a bath now..." Smiled A.
" Yes!" Smiled Eva, she climbed off her Uncle's lap and walked to the bathroom.
Eva peeped her head around the bathroom's door, she giggled as her Mum scooped her up in her arms and kissed her cheek. Her Mum placed her down near the bathtub, she undressed her and folded up her clothes.
" Are you ready for your bath baby?" Asked SJ.
" Yes!" Giggled Eva.
" Here we go!" Smiled SJ, she lifted Eva up from the tiled floor and placed her down in the bathtub." Now don't get you hair wet, I'm just going to grab your pajamas from the bedroom and no splashing!"
" Okay Mummy, I will be good!" Grinned Eva.
" You said that last time, I'll be just a moment..." Smiled SJ.
Eva smiled at her mum as she watched her leave the bathroom, she grabbed her pink rubber duck from the side of the bathtub and smirked. She held her rubber duck under the water, she chuckled as bubbles escaped from a hole in the bottom of her duck and let her duck go as her Mum walked back into the bathroom.
" No water on the floor for once, good girl!" Smiled SJ.
" Did I do a good job?" Asked Eva.
" A wonderful job!" Smiled SJ, she placed her daughter's pink pajamas down on a straw basket and sighed." Let's get you washed..."
" Okay!" Smiled Eva.
SJ washed and dried her daughter. She put her pink pajamas on, she brushed her dark hair and cleaned her teeth for her.
" All done!" Smiled SJ.
Eva pouted and crossed her arms across her chest." I don't want to go bed yet!"
SJ smiled as she cupped daughter's face, she gave her a kiss on the nose and giggled."You've got to sleep sweetie, I'll come and kiss you goodnight when I've tidied up the bathroom..."
" Okay!" Smiled Eva.
Eva walked out of the bathroom, she squealed when she saw her Uncle jumping up from the sofa and chased after her. She ran towards the kitchen table, she got on her knees and crawled under it. She giggled as he grabbed at her legs and dragged her from under the table.
" No!" Squealed Eva.
" Come here sugar!" Laughed A.
A scooped Eva up in his arms, he smiled as he carried her into her bedroom she shared with her Mum and walked over towards her bed." You know you can't out run me yet short stuff, so what kind of story do you want tonight then?"
" A funny one!" Smiled Eva.
" Oh a funny one..." Smiled A, he pulled back Eva's yellow blankets on her bed and placed her down on it." What about the farting dog story, you like that one right?"
" No, I want the panda story tonight!" Smiled Eva, she lay back on her bed and let her Uncle cover her up with her yellow blankets." The cake one!"
A sat down on Eva's bed, he brushed some of her dark hair away from her blue eyes and smiled."Okay, let's start our story."
" Yes!" Giggled Eva, she clapped her hand together and smiled." There once was a panda!"
" Who's telling this story huh?" Chuckled A.
" You are!" Smiled Eva.
" Let me start, there once was a panda who traveled around the world solving crimes and he ate a lot of strawberry shortcake. But one day there was a crime he could not solve and that made him a sad panda..."
" Why was he sad?" Asked Eva.
" Well..." Smiled A.
" You shouldn't really make fun of L, he does a lot for us at times..." Interrupted SJ, she placed a plastic cup of water down on the bedside table and kissed her daughter's forehead. " Goodnight sweetie, Mummy loves you more than the stars and the moon..."
" Oooh the moon!" Giggled Eva.
" Come on, we love the panda jokes don't we Eva pops? See you in the morning kid." Smiled A, he got up from Eva's bed and turned out the lamp on her bedside table." Sweet dreams sweetheart..."
" Love you Mummy!" Smiled Eva.
" Love you too baby..." Smiled SJ.
Eva rolled on her side, she put her hand under her pillow and took her messy dark-haired doll out from under it." Night Mummy! Night Uncle A! I want to hear the rest of the panda story in the morning!"
" Sure sugar, sweet dreams." Smiled A, he switched her bedroom light off and followed SJ out of the bedroom.
Eva snuggled her face into the pillow, she kissed her doll's face and closed her eyes." Night Daddy..."
" Night my little Eva..." Said a low voice.
" Uncle A!" Laughed Eva, she opened her eyes and smiled as she looked over at the half-opened door." Not funny!"
" Sorry baby, I couldn't help myself!" Chuckled A from the other side of her bedroom door." Sleep tight..."
" Night!" Yawned Eva, she closed her eyes and smiled as she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
