*Nina's P.O.V.*

I looked at Patricia and Eddie, smiling. It surprised me, actually. I never saw Patricia as the maternal type. Or Eddie as the paternal type, either.

Trudy was smiling at them.

Victor groaned "Oh, great, three babies. Seven teenage girls, six teenage boys, four parents, three babies, Rufus, me and a partridge in a pear tree."

I looked at Victor, confused.

"Um, what partridge? Which pear tree? You must be nuts."

"It's just a figure of speech. Any way, I think I might play cards with Rufus, just to add to the strange and the stupid. Come on, Zeno."

I waited until I was alone with Fabian, then started laughing.

"Victor is playing cards with Rufus? Patricia and Eddie are parents, and Jerome is considering asking Mara to marry him. It's just crazy."

"What's wrong with Jerome and Mara getting engaged? Fabian, I swear, you have more issues than Vera!"

"I know and you are mainly the cause."

"Yup, causing you problems. I mean I'm the one who got given the locket, I got Sibuna stamped and now, we can just rest and let nature do what it does best and drive us all crazy."

"Speaking of driving us all crazy..."

"Not yet, Fabian. Not until we are in our late 20's at least. No kids before 25."

I knew what was coming because we'd had this discussion at least 60 times in the past 2 months.

"Nina, you'd make a fantastic mum."

"Yeah, up until... we get ourselves cursed, yet again? Sure. Like that won't complicate family life. No, we're waiting until we're at least 25."

"Sometimes, Nina, you are way too stubborn. I love that. Except for it can get a bit annoying."

"Whatever, just behave."

He kissed me, all the same.

*Eddie's P.O.V.*

Trudy was babbling 19 to the dozen with hints and offers.

"...and if you fancy a night out, I'm more than willing to babysit. You could try Next's baby range, because I got some very cute baby clothes there..."

I just laughed silently. Patricia's eyes were glazed over with boredom, even though she nodded attentively.

"She goes on for ever, doesn't she?"

I smiled at Jasper. He often used to irritate me, but now that he's actually cracking a joke that's not about his Egyptian work, he's kinda funny.

"Yeah, she runs on for hours. You know, once, she talked for 37 days straight. She didn't even stop to breathe, she just talked. Not sleeping, just stood in the hall, talking as loudly as she could. Though she lost her voice for a week afterwards. I think everyone was glad of the peace. I don't think she'll ever put you through that."

"I hope not. I like her talking, but 37 days in a row would make me want to tape her mouth shut and tie her hands behind her back."

Then Trudy gave Jasper a look, through giving Patricia the whole 'Babble Session.'

"Come on, sweetie. Let's give the new family a bit of private time."

They left, Jasper mouthing "She's gonna babble her lips off now."

I'm highly surprised she hadn't already done that.

I looked at Patricia and Lucas.

"He looks like you, Eddie."

"Really? I think he's more like you."

He had his mum's natural brown hair and her grey eyes.

"He has your hair and eyes."

"Yeah, but his nose and mouth just look so you. And the shape of his face. He looks like you."

*Fabian's P.O.V.*(Dinner.)

Trudy had given Patricia and Eddie some kinda food in their room.

"Y'know, with three babies, this place is gonna be loud."

That shut everyone up.

"You've all gone very quiet. Is something wrong?"

Nina was the one to speak up.

"No, Trudy, there isn't."

Then, out of her usual character, Amber said "Trudy. Please. Just go and get a life. You drive me totally nuts."

Everyone gasped at Amber.

"What did you say, Amber? I didn't quite catch it, sweetie."

"Quit calling me sweetie! You know, for a grown up, you're disgusting and really annoying. I wish you'd just disappear."

Trudy gasped, looking upset. Then she smiled, easily.

"OK, Amber. If that's what you want. Say it again and maybe your wish will come true."

"I wish you'd just disappear."

Amber repeated it louder until she was screaming.

Trudy walked out of the room and I think she locked herself in her room.

Amber stopped screaming, then gasped in surprise.

"Trudy?"

Nobody cracked a smile, though we all knew where she'd hidden.

"Where did Trudy go?"

Jasper said "You made her disappear. You yelled it so much, she just disappeared. She went poof and vanished on the spot."

I knew that Joy had made a marble Trudy statue, purely for a prank. She'd made her look like she'd been crying, then put it in her room.

Nina whispered "Is the statue in there?"

"Yup. Now tell Amber where Trudy went."

"She's only in her room."

We all followed Amber to Trudy's room.

We saw the statue, the babies helpfully sobbing in their cradles.

Amber took one look at the statue and screamed.

"TRUDY!"

We all had to fight away smiles. Amber knelt in front of the statue, apologising like a mad person.

We gently lifted the statue, then Trudy sat in it's place in the exact same position. She'd really been crying, I could tell.

"Amber?"

"Trudy."

"Come on, Amber."

"Hmm? How did you transform back?"

I kissed Nina, just for the sake of it.

"FABINA!"

"Aw!"

"Dude, that's sick!"

"Aw, nice one, man."

"Aw, Nina and Fabian!"

Lissie just sat back, laughing silently, having known all what was coming.

Mandy and Mike kissed too, which stunned even the psychic.

Lissie shrieked, loudly.

"OMIGOD, YOU TWO!"

They all yelled and squealed.

*Patricia's P.O.V.*

Lucas had his bottle.

"I dunno how Trudy feeds them two at the same time as Jasper can't feed them."

"Well..."

"Do not explain it for me, Edison, I don't want or need to hear it!"

Then a scream echoed...

OK, part 3 of the trilogy. Please R&R. Until next update, Random Dizzy. :D
