'Max let go!' Bella started to screech at her dark haired brother.
He grinned with delight that he was annoying her. One of the many privileges of having a sister, making their life a living hell. He began to chuckle and waved the doll out of her reach. She stomped on his foot 'Ow! Bella. That hurt' Max picked up his foot to ease the pain, the doll still in his other hand. Bella was too busy laughing to think of her doll. 'You're going to pay for that' He threatened darkly although he looked more comical hopping on his foot. Bella was still laughing uncontrollably, Max was thinking he had enough of this.
He pulled her hair harshly, causing her bow to become dismantled 'Ouch! Daddy!' Bella screamed at the top of her lungs. People were always shocked when they heard her shout and scream like that, for a little five year old. She was a Bass though so this was to be expected.
She tugged his bow tie with a fierce look of determination on her face, Max carried on pulling her hair as this was her obvious weakness. Chuck came rushing in from the sound of his daughter's voice. The sight nearly caused him to double in laughter as he could remember this scene clearly from when he was younger with Blair. Now though he had to be responsible. He said calmly and softly as he could 'Max. Let go of your sister. Bella. Let go of your brother' Both of them turned around like naughty children. They then proceeded to point at each other, Bella said it faster 'It was him Daddy' Bella looked at her Dad pleadingly. 'He stole my doll' Bella made it sound like the most vile act ever committed. Chuck kept his expression in check although he was finding it quite hard. He was a proud father. The moment he found out Blair was carrying a boy and a girl, he knew he was possibly the luckiest man on earth. Finding a name for their son had been easy, Max Bass sounded brilliant but for their daughter, it was becoming a nightmare. Finally they settled for Isabella, everyone loved it and in the end everyone just nicknamed her Bella.
Chuck came back to the present, he bent down and looked at Max sternly 'Is this true Max?'.
He watched a now guilty looking Max who eyed him then carefully whispered 'Yes Dad' Max ducked his head but looked up as soon as he did it 'But only because she said I liked Autumn Humprey when I don't' He turned to his sister with a glare. She smiled smugly, Chuck was finding it hard to hide his amusement but Bella was making it harder.
She crossed her little arms then smirked like a true Bass 'You so do. It's all you ever talk about, Autumn this, Autumn that' She was moving her hands now in talkative motions.
Max eyed her fiercely 'No I don't' He growled, he was on defensive mode and this proved even more that he liked her.
Bella began to look away from him and sang in a musical voice 'yes you do'
Max was starting to get really impatient with his sister 'Don't' he said swiftly with force. Chuck was looking at them with a mixed look of pride and awe. His son, a devil in disguise with the same liking for bow ties as well and teasing girls by playing pranks on them. Bella, a little angel with dark curls and hundreds of headbands. They were just like their parents. They then both turned to their father, their dark heads looking down. Chuck grinned at them as they looked up, they soon smirked back and hugged each side of him.
