Ch. 2

Jinx sighed as she finished going through the refrigerator and pulled her head out. She walked to the living room where Raven and Max were laying on the couch watching Saturday morning cartoons while Hailey played with Amy and her dolls on the floor. Jinx sighed again, trying to get Raven's attention, and waited for her to turn and ask what was wrong, but Raven never did. When that plan failed Jinx carefully walked to the couch, barely managing to make it through the mess of toys in the floor, and plopped down next to her wife.

"Raven, we have a problem." Jinx said, trying to sound as serious as possible. To Jinx though this was serious, after all a hungry Jinx is a cranky Jinx and nobody wants to put up with that.

"What now Jinx, are we out of fudge pops again?" Raven asked it seemed that Jinx always got like this when there wasn't something sugary in house. They hadn't been to the store in a while though, but they couldn't be out of food already could they?

"No, well actually yes, but the only things in the fridge are four eggs, some orange juice, cheese, lunch meat, a jar of pickles, Wednesday's leftovers that need to be thrown out, and fish sticks." Jinx cringed a bit at the fish sticks. Raven smirked at her reaction, knowing that if there was anything Jinx hated it would have to be those "vomit inducing not really fish sticks" as she called them, but the kids loved them so in the freezer they stayed.

"Do we have any bread or milk?" Raven asked almost positive that they would at the very least have some bread or milk.

"None, we had milk but it was chunky so I threw it out." Raven sighed; proven wrong, and looked around the living room for a minute before turning back to face Jinx who had a grin the Cheshire cat would be envious of.

"Then I guess we need to go to the store today, but this time you are "not" leaving me alone with these three to look after by myself. You remember what happened last time." Raven practically hissed that last sentence as Jinx's smile got even wider, if that was possible, at the memory.

"Don't worry dear, I won't. Scout's honor." Raven looked annoyed for a second, but then a small grin crossed her face which meant bad news for Jinx.

"But, you have to make lunch for the kids while I get ready, and what do you want to eat kids?"

"FISH STICKS!" Was what met Jinx's ears as she noticeably paled, but the kids were excited and that was all they had, so Jinx took a deep breath and put on her most enthusiastic face.

"They'll be ready in no time!" Jinx said quickly getting up and heading to the kitchen so she could get this over with, while Raven watched for a second then went to get in the shower and get ready. After lunch was finished, the kids were dressed, the table was cleaned, and Raven was ready, the five Roths filed into the van, with Raven driving of course, and headed to Jump Grocery. Traffic wasn't too bad for a Saturday and was soon where they needed to be and making their way to get a cart.

"Max, Hailey, Amy you know to stay with me, and Jinx, if you even think of going off on your own I will put you on a leash and keep you next to me." Raven looked at Jinx, dead serious about the leash, and Jinx knew she was serious, and they started off to the bakery and the produce. Everything was going fine for the first five or so minutes, but then the kids started to get bored and went to get their own groceries. While Raven and Jinx had their backs turned for just a few seconds to find a few good loaves of bread, the children snuck off and grabbed a few things that they were close to; trail mix, dried bananas, potatoes, eggplants, peaches, and Amy even grabbed a pineapple, and stuck the items in the cart. They tried to look as innocent as possible when their mothers turned around, but failed miserably.

"You three, go put this stuff back now!" Raven whisper-yelled at the kids, trying not to cause a scene or have her powers blow something up. The three had one good look at their mother's furious face and decided to take the food and put it back as quickly as possible. They ran, well, until they got yelled at for running in the store, then fast walked and put everything back in about two minutes. Raven had Jinx grab some fruits while she grabbed veggies then they tried to get the stuff they needed as quickly as possible with as few interruptions as they could manage. Though, of course, that didn't go according to plan, as most of the store heard from Jinx's yelling and could tell from Raven's angry flares. They could only hear snippets though of what Jinx was yelling about, such as; no Max, we are NOT getting you seven boxes of Pop-tarts, you do not need that many, Amy we are not getting any fruit snacks you three don't even like them and don't try and say you will because you've tried that the last three trips, and this one, courtesy of Raven looking her temper, Hailey! Put the marshmallows down or I swear I will make you sleep on the porch tonight! (She wouldn't really do it, but it worked to get Hailey to behave.) By the time the five had gotten everything they needed and paid, Raven appeared as if she was going to pop a vein, snap and kill someone, destroy something, or all of the above. Jinx tried to see if Raven would let her drive, knowing an angry half demon in traffic was a very bad idea, but she was quickly shut down when Raven responded with a very deep growl and, after putting all the groceries in the trunk and making sure the kids were buckled in, sat in the passengers' seat hoping that nobody died on their way home.

Well I hope you enjoyed it! Next update should be soon.
