Alright Chapter 2! It's been a few weeks since Mordecai and Margaret have moved in. Is Reggie a nice guy? Or is he gonna do something drastic? Let's find out!


Weeks later:

Weeks had gone by, they were finally settled in. Rigby and Eileen brought the kids over to see their new house.

"Videogames to celebrate my new house"? Mordecai asked.

Rigby pulled out his controller, "You know it"!

The duo waved their arms, "OHHHHHHHHHHHH"!

Mordecai sat on the couch, taking out his controller, "Hey Baby"? He called to Margaret, "Ruben's here…think we should wake up Milo"?

Margaret shrugged, entering the room, "He'll be cranky" She kneed down to Ruben, "Sorry Sweetie, Milo's still taking his nap"

The little mole pouted, "Aw nuts"! He sat himself down.

Margaret and Eileen giggled, then headed into the kitchen. "So…the new house looks amazing"! The mole peeped, trying to balance Emma on her hip.

The cardinal smiled, "Aw thanks. You should really tell Mordecai. He bought the house"

Emma babbled, "We get a twee house"! She giggled, clapping her hands.

The mole smiled, "No Sweetie. We don't live in a tree house. We live in our apartment"

The little raccoon's face looked like she'd been crushed, "No"! She pouted.

Eileen let out a sigh, "The Terrible Twos. I barely got through Ruben's"

Margaret smiled, "I'm thinking Milo would want a little brother or sister"

Emma babbled again, "Milllllooooowwww" She loved to sound out his name.

The cardinal giggled, "Who's my favorite niece? You are! Oh yes you are" Emma giggled, clapping her hands.

Eileen sighed happily, "She looks just like her father"

Margaret saw little brown hair pulled into pigtails, "She has your eyes and your tail"

Eileen nodded, "She's so cute"

Emma put her hand in front her mouth then leaned her hand towards Eileen, "Kisses Mama"

The mole kissed her hand then let Emma giggle about it. Margaret giggled at the two, "I wish I had a daughter like her. Mordecai would spoil Milo and her" She thought giggling.

A piercing scream came from upstairs making everyone freeze.

Eileen looked towards the scream, "That sounded like-Milo"! Margaret and Eileen said in sync as they ran up the stairs with Mordecai and Rigby following.

Margaret looked to see her son, sitting up in his bed, crying, "Oh Honey. Honey. What's the matter"? She took him into her wings, "Shh…Mommy's here"

Milo held her tight, "Nightmare Mommy"!

The cardinal soothed, "Shh. My baby. What happened? Tell Mommy"

Milo looked like he'd seen Freddy Kruger in his dreams. His eyes were wide and he was shaking. "There's a man in the basement! He has a gun"!

Margaret rocked him back and forth as if he was a baby. She smiled, "There. There. It's nothing. It was just a bad dream"

Milo nodded, "But it was so real! Mommy"!

The cardinal ran her fingers through his hair, "I know but it's ok now. You're awake and breathing" She turned to Eileen, "Ruben's here"

Milo smiled, "Yeauh"! He jumped out of her lap to run downstairs.

Mordecai headed down the stairs, "I'll check out the basement"

The cardinal ran after her, "No. Milo might think something's wrong if you have to check"

"You never know Margaret. He might have actually seen a man down there" He opened the basement door and walked downstairs.

The basement would be scary for a 6 year old. It was dark, with cobwebs on the ceiling, the spiders must've thought the basement was creepy and left. He kept walking finding a little light bulb with a rusty chain connected to it.

Mordecai pulled the string to see a doll, "HOLY-oh" He muttered, a little embarrassed that a doll scared him.

The doll had button eyes and was sitting in a lawn chair. With blonde curls and wearing a pink dress.

He looked around, it was a workshop. His beak parted, the person who'd there before made a lot of dolls. It seemed pretty cool and pretty creepy. "This is what scared Milo" He thought, seeing a play gun on the doll that was sitting up right. He smirked then came back upstairs.

Margaret smiled at Milo, "See Honey. There's nothing to be afraid of"

Milo tilted his head, "Did you see the man Dad"?

He shook his head, "No. I think you just saw a doll. There's a bunch of dolls down there. Even one scared me" He chuckled.

The little bird nodded, "Oh ok" He turned towards Ruben, "Let's play in my room"! They raced off.

Margaret sighed, "Maybe we shouldn't let him down in the basement anymore"

The blue jay nodded, "That's a good idea" He closed the door.

After Rigby and Eileen left. Margaret and Mordecai were cuddled up on the couch. Milo was upstairs, sleeping. The cardinal was getting tired of The Walking Dead, "Can you change the channel Baby"?

The blue jay looked her, "I wanna know if Lori's gonna die"

She crawled into his lap, taking the remote, "I don't wanna watch that slut give birth"

Mordecai grabbed the remote, "She might die…I wanna know"

They had a tug-of-war with the remote until he tackled her off the couch, "Ow"!

He was on top of her, holding her hands down, "I win"

Margaret rolled him over, "I win"! She held down his wrists. She giggled, leaning near his ear, "We should go to bed"

Mordecai nodded after she let him up, he carried her upstairs. Kissing her gently as they headed towards their bedroom.


The next day:

Margaret was trying to get Milo to eat his cereal for the morning, "C'mon Sweetie"

Milo pouted, "I don't like Soggy Oats"

The cardinal rolled her eyes, "You ate them all the time. What are you talking about"?

Mordecai went out to the paper, he found it and picked it up to hear a voice, "Heyyy Mordo"! Reggie called.

The blue jay felt a little weird, Reggie knew his nickname, "Meh. Probably heard Rigby calling me it or something" He thought. Shrugging it off.

Reggie smiled, "Hey, so. I know you are new to the neighborhood but I would appreciate you not hitting your wife"

Mordecai had the look of confusion on his face, "What? No! No! I'd never hit Margaret"!

Reggie pointed, "I was strolling with my dog and saw you tackle her"

A faint blush came on Mordecai's face, "Oh well. We were just playing around" Mordecai turned his head to see how far the living room window was from the sidewalk. It wasn't far but a good five or six feet. "I'm sorry if you thought I was hitting her. But we were just playing around"

Reggie narrowed his eyes, "If I ask her. Would she tell me the same thing"?

Mordecai nodded, "I'm not hitting her. I'd never abuse her"

It was quiet, until Margaret opened the door, "Oh hey Reggie" She smiled, walking over to him. She looked at Mordecai, "What's up"?

Reggie shrugged, "Aw nothing. It was just a misunderstanding" He walked back to his house, "Tell Milo I said hello"

Margaret smiled, "He's nice"

Mordecai rolled his eyes, "More like weird" They walked back to the house, "He thought I hit you, last night"

The cardinal gave him a kiss, "Well, you were pretty rough" She winked making him blush.

Milo was sitting at the table, eating his Soggy Oats. "When does school start again"?

Margaret gave him a smile, "Not for another two months" She gave a kiss on the head. She turned to Mordecai, "I'm gonna go read" The cardinal walked upstairs.

Milo hopped out of the chair, "Dad, Mr. Reggie's weird"

The blue jay ruffled up his son's hair, "I know. I know"

Mordecai went upstairs to his man-cave while Milo played in the front yard with his army guys. "General! They're attacking"! He pushed his tanks near the army guys. "Fire ammunition" Milo knocked a few army guys over, "We're winning"! Milo cheered.

"Hey Sport" Reggie smiled, walking over to him, "Whatcha got there"

Milo closed his mouth, shaking his head. "I don't know.." He whispered.

Reggie smiled, "We're neighbors. You don't have to give me the silent treatment"

The dark-feathered avian kept his eyes on his toys, "Oh.."

A chuckle was replied, "Heh. I was just like you as a kid. I didn't talk much to strangers"

Milo nodded, "Oh.."

Reggie smiled, "I have a tank like that at my house" He pointed, "Except more old"

The younger bird's hands shook, he wasn't used to strangers trying to talk to him. He turned and grabbed the doorknob, turning it and running inside. Completely leaving his toys in the yard.

Reggie stood up, knowing Milo would tell his father about Reggie talking to him. He grabbed the tank with Milo's name written in crayon. "This must be his favorite" Reggie walked away with the tank.


Aw...Reggie stole Milo's tank! Aw man! Reggie seems to be pushing himself into their lives, Margaret's thinking non of this. Mordecai doesn't like Reggie. Milo's just shy. Reggie thought that Mordecai is abusing Margaret! We met Rigby's family in this chapter! Little Ruben and Emma. What will Reggie do next?
