It was Good Friday. The defenders were putting up the Easter decorations well two of them were.
"Danny, how many times do I have to say it? Your dad might have been the Kookaburra in the Christmas tree but you aren't the Kookaburra in the nest!" Annaka exclaimed.
"Says who?" Danny asked.
"Well, me, my mum, my dad, Zsa-Zsa and Thorne also kind of Jack as well." Annaka said.
"Yes but that's like only half of the defenders and I'm going to sit in the nest. My mum would let me." Danny said.
"Yes because she wants to baby you." Annaka said.
"Yeah because it's not like your parents baby you is it?" Danny said sarcastically.
"That's different, I'm the youngest." Annaka said trying to put up the Easter banner.
"So I'm the second youngest." Danny said getting a chair and helping Annaka put up the banner.
"Why do we need these decorations?" Danny asked.
"I don't know ask your mum or Charles." Annaka replied.
"Danny." Shaiden called, "How are you getting on with the decorations?"
Danny ran to the nest and sat in it while Shaiden entered the room.
"Danny you look so adorable. Kook! Come in here." Shaiden shouted.
Annaka rolled her eyes while Shaiden babied Danny. She was putting up some balloons with chicks on them.
"Yes, Shaiden?" Kook said, "Oh Danny you look so…"
"Cute, adorable! He wants to be just like his dad." Shaiden finished off.
"Yeah." Kook said, "How are you getting on?"
"Good." Annaka replied.
Thorne came down the stairs and looked in disbelief at Shaiden babying Danny. He felt sick and was glad that Zsa-Zsa didn't want babying. He looked at Annaka.
"I know just try to ignore them." Annaka said.
"How can I? That's my sister and nephew." Thorne stated.
"I feel so sorry for you." Annaka said.
"I don't know what's happened to my sister, she was so deadly and quiet. Now she spends her time babying Danny." Thorne said.
"Probably making up for missed time, I get babied." Annaka told Thorne.
"Yeah but yours parents are Gildar and Ballista, when Ballista found out she was pregnant they celebrated for about 4 days." Thorne told her.
"Thorne." Shaiden said, "Look at Danny."
Thorne slowly walked over to his nephew.
"Look at my uncle Thorne." Danny said.
"I thought Kook being in the Christmas tree was bad." Thorne said.
Kook was about to reply when Knightriss shouted a defender meeting in the living room. Zsa-Zsa entered then stopped and looked at Danny, rolled her eyes then went to sit down on the sofa. Annaka got off the chair and joined the defenders.
"Defenders, I would like to remind you that Easter is in two days. What again is special about Easter?" Knightriss said.
"The fact that I can eat as much as I want." Danny said.
"Apart from that unfortunate fact anything else?" Knightriss asked.
"Sunday's the day Jesus came back alive." Zsa-Zsa said.
"Correct, so someone has brains." Knightriss commented.
Thorne just sat there looking smug until Crocness nudged him.
"Right as today is the day Jesus got crucified, we will celebrate that Jesus gave up his life for others by not spatting attackers that hard, only 8 balls per attacker instead of the 30." Knightriss ordered, "Also the god Friday buffet is almost ready unlike the decorations."
Knightriss looked over at Annaka and Danny, who smiled back at her. She dismissed the meeting when everyone left Danny went back into the nest and Shaiden went back to babying him. Zsa-Zsa decided to help Annaka as Danny was 'busy'. Zsa-Zsa put chicks on pieces of furniture.
"Are we done?" Zsa-Zsa said.
"Yep thanks for helping unlike some people." Annaka said looking over at Danny and Shaiden.
"Annaka." Ballista shouted entering the living room, she noticed Shaiden babying Danny and looked confused but carried on until she reached Annaka at the other end of the room, "Can I borrow your shampoo?"
"Why?" Annaka asked.
"Your father used mine because he forgot to buy some and I need to wash my hair." Ballista explained.
"Okay but when you enter my room, walk straight into the bathroom and don't look around." Annaka ordered.
"Okay my little princess." Ballista said.
"I know." Annaka said.
Zsa-Zsa, didn't know what to look at, Annaka being babied or Danny being babied because he was sitting in a nest. So she decided to go a see Jack who was trying to figure out where to put everyone one for the next attack.
"Hey Jack." She said entering the prep room.
"Hey." He said still looking at the board, "What are you doing down here?" He asked.
"Danny was being babied by Shaiden and Annaka was being babied by Ballista." Zsa-Zsa explained.
"I think you made a good choice to leave." Jack said.
"DO you need help?" She asked.
"Yeah and no." Jack said.
"I don't know where to put Gildar or Skabb." Jack said.
"Well why don't you put Gildar by me so I can keep an eye on him and Skabb by Annaka and Danny so he can keep an eye on them." Zsa-Zsa suggested.
"Okay, that might work." Jack suggested.
"Well Easters about friendship and selflessness."
"I guess." Jack said.
Zsa-Zsa helped Jack sort out the rest of the plan then the pair went upstairs. Shaiden was still babying Danny in the nest and Kook had come back to baby him even more. Annaka was sitting there trying to ignore them. She kept looking at them with a cringed look on her face. Skabb was looking at defence weapons and kept looking over at Danny.
"Alright Dad." Jack said.
"Yeah." Skabb said looking over at Shaiden.
"Just pretend that there not there." Zsa-Zsa told him.
"It's hard." Skabb said, "I've never seen Shaiden like this."
"I think it's because it's Easter and with the new born lambs and chicks that is reminded her of the time she lost with Danny." Jack explained.
"I guess." Skabb said, "You don't want to be babied do you?"
"No, definitely not, no way." Jack said.
"Good." Skabb said, "But I can wrestle with you."
"Okay then." Jack said getting ready to wrestle.
Zsa-Zsa left the boys to wrestle and noticed that Gildar had joined Annaka was tickling her. Somehow she wished that her parents wanted to baby her.
"Zsa-Zsa." Thorne called, "Come here."
Zsa-Zsa entered the main room and saw her dad with some slime in a bucket.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"What do you think of my new formula?" He asked.
"Umm, I don't know how about we use it on the next set of attackers." She suggested.
"I have a better idea." Thorne said getting some slime on his finger and wiped it on her face.
"No. Please tell me you didn't put slime on my face." She exclaimed getting a hand full of slime in her hand.
"Zsa-Zsa don't you dare." Thorne said.
Zsa-Zsa threw the slime at Thorne, who then threw some slime back at her. Crocness entered the room to see Thorne and Zsa-Zsa having slime fight.
"Mum, help me." Zsa-Zsa screamed.
Crocness got a handful of slime and threw it at her husband.
"Oh come on." Thorne said smiling.
"Zsa-Zsa get the camera, your dad's smiling." Crocness shouted.
Zsa-Zsa took a photo on her phone. Crocness looked at it and threatened to send it to everyone.
"Don't you dare." Thorne said grabbing Crocness.
"Easter dinners ready!" Charles shouted.
Thorne, Crocness and Zsa-Zsa looked at themselves.
"We'll be a few minutes." Thorne shouted.
Zsa-Zsa realised that Easter wasn't just about selflessness, new born animals. It was about Family as well.
