Men will be boys
"Mama! Mama!" Lily howled running at top speed into the lounge nearly decapitating herself on her mother's knee. Luckily Violet picked her up just in time. Violet and I had been sitting on the couch talking and getting to know each other before Lily ran into the room. Violet seemed a pretty cool person and I could see us being friends.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Violet asked worriedly to her daughter, rocking her back and forth while rubbing her back trying to calm her down.
"Sh-sh-shadow no pway dwess up with me." She wailed. I nearly laughed but knew better. Shadow would definitely not play dress up no matter how much he liked Lily.
"My poor baby. It's probably because he's a boy and boys are more into cars and transformers." Violet explained trying to sooth her.
"But me want him pwetty." She whined.
"It's okay, you can make daddy pretty later." Violet told Lily. My new mission was to find camera, no way was Iggy going to wear make up and me not get a picture of it.
"Why baby not here now? Me want to pway with it." This would be interesting.
"It's still too little."
"Where is it?"
"In my tummy." I had to hold in my giggles as Lily's eyes nearly shot out of her head. Unfortunately Shadow walked in during this conversation.
"Mama, you ate the baby!?" Lily squealed at her mother. Shadow sighed and looked at her patronisingly. This couldn't be good. He knew too much too soon.
"No silly. When a mummy and a daddy love each other they go into their bedroom and-"Jake was suddenly behind him putting a hand over his mouth. Violet looked shocked, I still can't believe Shadow isn't scarred from how he found out. I'm surprised Lily didn't know with Iggy as he father.
"Did you eat the baby mama?" Lily was being as serious as possible.
"No, it's just growing there because it's warm and safe in there." Violet explained. Maybe not as interesting as I thought but the fact she thought her mother had eaten a baby was hilarious.
"When can me meet it?" Lily asked looking up innocently.
"After you turn two." Violet answered.
"Long time." Lily said nodding her head; it was just so damn cute.
"I know but you have to be patient." Lily then went quiet; she looked like she was thinking deeply. I have never seen a more serious one year old in my life.
During this whole scene I had managed to not say a word or let a single giggle out. I think I did quite well.
"Violet, how are we going to feed Lily tonight?" Iggy asked from the kitchen. "Her food's ready, but there's no highchair."
"I'll hold her and you feed her." Violet called back. Violet pulled out a bib and stuck it on Lily then left the room. I turned to look at where Shadow had just been released from his father.
"Don't go around telling people things like that Shadow, Lily's too young." I scolded, technically he was too young but I couldn't go back in time.
"I'm sorry Mama." Shadow whispered looking down guiltily. I sighed opening my arms seeing him run forward. I hugged him to my chest as best I could since I had a big bulge of a stomach. I slowly stroked his hair resting my chin on his head. I could never regret having Shadow. He was my little boy and I loved him. I would do anything for him.
As Shadow pulled away Lily waddled into the room on her little toddler legs going to a chest and pulling out blocks. She sat on the floor with them and looked up at Shadow who sat next to me watching her carefully.
"Wanna pway?" Lily asked. Shadow jumped down and sat by her. I smiled looking at them; they had found something that they both liked.
Violet came back in and sat next to me watching them play. Shadow was a show off and he knew it. He made sure that his tower was taller than Lily's making her a bit disgruntled. I was ready to give some of his blocks to her before she started crying but surprisingly Lily didn't.
*~*~*~*~*
Dinner came and went with no mishaps. Max and Fang had decided that since I was upset I had missed out on so much that they would show Jake and I some home videos. I sat on the couch with Jake's arm securely around me and my head on his shoulder waiting for the movies to start.
The first movie was of Max and Fang's wedding, Fang was in a black tux, no surprises there, and Max was wearing an absolutely gorgeous dress that suited her. They looked so happy; I just wish I could have been there. Jake had yet to propose even though we had one child and another on the way but I didn't really mind too much because a piece of paper didn't mean anything. Violet and Iggy were grinning like idiots in the video.
"Now I know why you two were grinning like that. It all makes sense." Nudge commented. I looked into Violet's mind and saw they had just gotten engaged. I smiled at that. The next was Violet's and Iggy's wedding. Never thought he would be one for it.
"Oh god I was huge! I look like a whale." Violet shrieked cringing into Iggy's chest causing him to stroke her hair.
"No you didn't, you looked beautiful and always do." It cut to them dancing. Then Iggy and Fang were having a conversation on the screen.
"This has to be a day for history books. Iggy the man-whore who once asked me to describe beach bunnies and cheerleaders for him just got married." Movie-Fang said.
"Violet's hotter than any cheerleader or beach bunny. Plus this one time when we were in bed..."
"Dude I don't want to know. That's my sister you're talking about."
"This sucks! I have no guy mates I can talk to about how sexy my wife is. She's your sister and Gazzy's too young! I need new friends!"
"Whatever man, just don't hurt her or the kid cause if you do I'll hunt you down and beat you up."
"You think you could take me emo boy?"
"I know I can."
"Okay right here, right now!"
"Bring it on!" Then Violet walked over grabbing Iggy's arm.
"Come on, we've gotta cut the cake." She said urgently.
"Okay my beautiful wife. You know today has been the best day of my life." He kissed her. It was so sweet.
"Are you crying?" Iggy chuckled.
"No." Violet squeaked brushing tears away.
"I remember this. Anything is going to set you off for the next seven and a half months now. Am I right?" Iggy asked feigning seriousness.
"Shut up." The next movie started out with Violet looking pissed off, probably at Iggy.
"Oh no. Anything but this one!" Violet moaned.
"Iggy, get the fucking camera out of my face and help me have your baby." She screamed.
"But don't you want to remember this day for the rest of our lives. I mean we're about to become parents."
"I want to remember the after bit not the really, really painful bit. And stop filming... down there."
"Anything you want dear." He set the camera down on the bedside cabinet but it was still pointing at Violet. Iggy went over and held Violet's hand and put his other one around her shoulders.
"Okay Violet, you need to push on the next contraction. It will be in twenty seconds." Said who I presumed to be the doctor.
"Come on Violet, you can do this." Iggy encouraged her. In a few seconds she started screaming, I remembered this all to well and wasn't looking forward to it again.
"Mother-Fucking bitch! This Huuurts!" she moaned. I covered Shadow's ears quickly, he already knew too much I didn't need him to know swear words too.
"I can feel the head." The presumed doctor called.
"See sweetie, our daughter has a head. Isn't that great." Iggy said practically jumping up and down on the spot.
"A head. Heads are good." Violet gasped. I chuckled at that.
"Get ready to push again." The doctor called. Iggy cringed as Violet squeezed his hand. I did the same to Jake except he flew into the wall because I electrocuted him accidentally.
"I think you broke it." Iggy told her.
"Sorry, I was too busy having a baby to worry about your hand!" Violet retorted. She kissed it. "Better?"
"Much better."
The heads out, we just need one more big push." The doctor encouraged.
"Just one more honey and we get to meet her. You're doing great." Iggy kissed her forehead. Violet screamed and groaned again and then there was a little voice crying. She fell back on the pillow panting.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl." The doctor announced, I really got to learn her name. Iggy disappeared off screen for a minute and returned cradling a bundle of blankets with a little pink face sticking out of it. Violet started crying and reached out for her baby. Iggy leaned over them.
"Soon we get to meet our second beautiful baby." Jake whispered in my ear causing me to shiver. I smiled at the thought.
"Hello baby, I love you so much. You're so perfect. I'm so happy to finally meet you." Violet told her baby.
"She's beautiful." Iggy agreed. Movie-Violet looked up at him. There was a tear falling down his cheek.
"Are you crying?" Violet asked laughing a little.
"No, my eyes are sweating."
"Whatever." They both looked down at their baby happily as she opened her eyes looking up at them.
"See that's why we're doing this again." Said Iggy to Violet.
"Yeah," Violet said touching her stomach to which Iggy put his hand onto hers.
"Yeah, yeah we get it, you love each other and you love your kids. Now let's get onto the not soppy stuff." Fang said. I totally agreed, I was very hormonal and any more sappy stuff and I'd start crying. Maybe Jake can get me some chocolate before the next movie. I asked him in my mind. He laughed causing vibrations to go through me as he shook.
"Sure I can." Jake got up to get me some while they searched for the next movie. God I love that guy.
A younger version of Lily was on the screen now. She was sitting in the middle of the floor at a house. Most likely Iggy and Violet's, toys surrounded Lily.
"Come on Lily say Mama!" I hear Violet encourage from off camera.
"No Lily, say Dada and you can have one of Dada's yummy cookies. You know Mama makes yucky cookies." Iggy bribed her.
"Hey! No bribery!"
"You tried to make her guilty 'I gave birth to you. You lived inside me." Iggy said using a bad impersonation of Violet. There was a slap from behind camera. "Ow! Spousal abuse! Spousal abuse!" Iggy shouted, Violet must have hit him. I laughed along with everyone else.
"You're such a wimp!" Violet told Iggy just as Fang walked into the room.
"Fangy!" Lily shrieked waving at him. He smiled and waved back. Two gasps were heard.
"Do I win your little game?" Fang asked Iggy and Violet while smirking at them.
"Typical!" Violet said exasperated. "Kids today!"
"Can't respect their parents!" Iggy agreed from behind the camera. Iggy and Violet left the room with the camera still going.
"Fangy! Fangy! Fangy!" Lily giggled.
"You're sure a pro at getting on your parents nerves, kiddo. I respect you for that." Fang said picking Lily up and cuddling her to his chest.
"I remember that. You wouldn't speak to me for weeks!" Fang snorted making Iggy and Violet both glare fiercely at him. At least Shadow's first word had been Mama. I was very proud of him during that moment, unluckily he then went on to say his first sentence and told everyone around him that Mama and Dada had sex last night. Smart little bugger he is.
"My turn to pick!" Nudge said and crawled down to box of movies that were situated by the TV. "What's this one?" she said placing a tape into the VCR. When it started the camera was pointing out of some curtains to the front porch.
"Quick, quick here they come. Turn the camera on." Iggy said excitedly as a fifteen year old Nudge and a boy of the same age walked up the stairs of a house, Dr M's maybe? They stood a couple of inches apart from each other.
"This seems creepy. Why are we doing this?" Gazzy asked nervously from off camera.
"Blackmail. Why else." Iggy answered snorting.
"Cool. Wait... who else do you have blackmail for?" Gazzy asked quickly, I wonder…
"Let's just say, I could easily become the leader of the flock if I felt like it." Max's face went red from anger but she kept her mouth shut and kept watching the movie.
"Are you going to?" Gazzy asked whispering to Iggy curiously.
"As if! Way too much work. I need Iggy time. Look he's going to kiss her, this is blackmail gold!" Nudge and the boy were kissing but it looked more like they were trying to suck each others faces off. I knew from the look on Nudge's face that Iggy was dead meat and obviously I was right. Violet had moved off of Iggy just in time.
"You're dead Iggy!" Nudge screamed and lunged across the room for him. Iggy quickly jumped over the back of the chair and ran out of the room with Nudge close behind. Right now I would not want to be Iggy.
"Does Iggy have blackmail tapes?" Fang asked Violet. Violet then proceeded to shrug; I'd have to go on a search mission for those tapes.
"He says he does but I don't know where they are." Violet told us moving Lily and herself into Iggy's empty seat so they weren't sitting on the floor anymore. Nudge entered the room with a smile on her face; she must have gotten him good. I can't wait to see what she did.
Iggy came into the room a few seconds after Nudge with a hand over one eye, he proceeded to sniff and sniffle like he was holding back tears the wimp.
"Nudge hit me." Iggy whined sounding very much like Kurt off Glee. Violet stood up letting Iggy sit back on the chair before sitting on his lap with Lily. Lily jumped off her mothers lap and went to play on the floor where Shadow was, I had just released him since the swearing had stopped.
"Aww poor baby." Violet told him tenderly.
I snorted, "Emphasis on baby." Iggy had always been a drama queen; he crossed his arms and scowled at me looking like a two year old whose lollypop had just been taken away. His eye was red and slowly turning blue a bruise forming already. Serves him right, you don't hide black mail with other home movies.
Next was Gazzy's turn to pick a movie so he picked one up and put it on. The movie started off with Fang and Iggy wrestling like kids on the floor.
"I'm driving!" Fang yelled.
"Nuh-uh you always drive it's my turn." Iggy complained.
"Because you're such a scary driver, Gazzy can drive better and he's only on his learners." Fang retorted smacking Iggy.
"I wasn't the one who hit that bus load of cheerleaders. Or was that on purpose? Come to think of it a few of them had red hair." Iggy told Fang smirking.
"Bye guys!" Max and Violet said to them leaning out the windows of the motor home everyone else was already in, the boys instantly stopped fighting but it was too late. Max drove away leaving Iggy and Fang stranded. The camera was shaking as the flock laughed at their facial expressions. I felt tears coming, I had missed so much.
"How far are we going before we go back?" Violet asked still laughing. She was around six months pregnant with Lily by the looks of it.
"Five minutes, enough to make them sweat." Max answered going out of the driveway, she drove along a bit further then turned around and went back to where the boys were standing, ironically in the exact same places as they left them in.
Hanging their heads in shame they quickly entered the motor home not making a peep about driving.
"Have you learnt your lesson?" Violet asked them like they were five year olds who had smashed a vase.
"Yes." They said in unison causing Max to start up the motor and drive away. The screen went black for a moment before Nudge and Iggy were onscreen.
"Please Iggy." Nudge begged him looking upset.
"Nope." He said smugly acting like he was a king.
"Come on. I hate sleeping outside. There are bugs." Nudge whined at him sounding a lot younger than she was.
"No way. I want to do things with my fiancée tonight that I don't want you listening to. There is no way you or anyone else is sleeping in that motor home. It's just me and Violet. We could do it in a tent but Violet is pregnant so we need a proper bed." He turned around and walked into the motor home with a skip in his step. The door closed behind him with a small click.
"Don't worry Nudge, I'll get him back for you. He's not getting any tonight. Sleep or sex that is." Violet whispered to Nudge quickly before following Iggy into the motor home and leaving Nudge outside. It cut to Iggy coming out of the motor home the next morning looking like death itself. My curiosity peaked wondering what Violet had done. Iggy could hardly keep his eyes open as he walked over to the flock.
"Coffee, need Coffee." He groaned stumbling into a seat while everyone else smiled.
"Didn't sleep well Iggy?" Max asked holding back her laugh just as everyone else was.
"No, I did not. Violet would not stop asking me to do stuff for her last night. 'Iggy my back hurts, can you rub it? Iggy I need to go to the bathroom, come with me. No I can't go by myself. I won't be able to get up if I have to go in the woods. I need you to come with me.' And I did all that stuff. But that wasn't the worst. Then she asked me to get her cheeseburger and some fries because she was craving it. I said I'd make her some but no, it had to be from McDonalds. I told her I was too tired to go and find a McDonalds and she started crying and saying I didn't love her so I ended up flying to town and wandering around in my pyjama's until I found a McDonalds. I get what she wants and I don't even get a single chip. So we finally get back into bed and she wraps herself up in the blankets like an Eskimo! I didn't get any blankets. I was shivering all night." Laughter erupted from the flock at the end of the speech; they couldn't hold it in any longer obviously. Iggy then proceeded to whip around where Violet was standing in a dressing gown and slippers.
"You stupid idiot. You actually fell for that." Violet laughed watching his face.
"What? Huh? You did actually need all of that stuff?" Iggy could be so thick sometimes, you can't help but laugh at him.
No. That was for not letting the others sleep in the motor home. Of course they can. And while we are on the subject, you are not getting ANY sex for the rest of this camping trip!" Violet then went into the motor home but not before calling out,
"And get me some waffles!" She shut the door silently. Iggy stood there angrily then went to start making waffle mix. Food cravings were not to be messed with and luckily he knew that.
"That night, everyone else but Iggy, was in the motor home." Gazzy laughed telling Jake and me. I think Violet and I will get along quite well, I like her.
"I was in a freaking tent. And I still got woken up! Violet texted me at two AM telling me to go get her some doughnuts. And I knew that was a real craving because when I said no, she came outside and started kicking down my tent!" Iggy yelled as I sniggered, serves him right.
"And now you have all that to look forward to again." Violet reminded him looking pleased with herself. He groaned as someone switched on another movie. Violet was looking a little tired just as the movie started but I was very awake, I wasn't going to miss a thing.
Another clip from the same camping disaster trip flickered on. Fang and Iggy stood close to each other holding up a map. This could not end well for them.
"So, we should follow that trail." Iggy announced looking up from the map and gesturing to one of the trails they could take. They were in a forest hiking.
"Yup." Fang agreed taking a step forward. Max came over to the two of them and looked at the map for a moment.
"How about this trail?" She asked pointing at the trail the boys didn't want to go on. Smug condescending looks crossed the Iggy and Fang's faces.
"Max, we're not taking that trail." Fang told her gently acting like he was talking to a five year old who didn't understand English. Max was not impressed and by from the quick flash of the map I had seen Max was right about which trail they should take.
"I say we are. Who's the leader of the flock?" She asked indignantly.
"As the men of the family we have made a decision." Iggy replied haughtily.
"Men." Violet snorted from somewhere off camera, the camera turned to focus on Violet where she sat on a chair absently flicking through a magazine.
"Ignore her, she's hormonal." Iggy mumbled trying to say it quietly so Violet wouldn't hear but like most things he failed. Violet glared and through her magazine at his head angrily.
"See what I mean! I have to put up with this all the time but I never complain. Aren't I a good husband and father-to-be." Iggy boasted.
He was incredulous.
"You won't become my husband if you don't shut up," Violet grumbled, "And bring that back to me." She requested pointing at her now dusty magazine on the ground. Iggy took it over brushing off some of the dust as he went.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Iggy asked handing it back to Violet.
"I'm sure. Walking over roots and rocks is kind of hard where you can't see your feet. I can barely walk without tripping on a flat surface. Hiking up a mountain wouldn't be the most fun experience for me at the moment." Violet explained flicking back to the page she was at before she through the magazine at Iggy's head.
She had pretty good aim, I'm glad she can keep Iggy in line, I mused to myself.
I could carry you through all the hard bits." Iggy offered.
Iggy will regret that considering they're going to go the wrong way.
"No darling, you go have fun. You put all the chocolate from home in your bag right?" Violet questioned glancing up from the article she was reading.
"I did." Iggy grinned.
"Then I'll be fine. See you later. Love you." Iggy bent down and kissed Violet swiftly before answering,
"Love you too. I don't think we'll be that long." Iggy went over to the others and they started off up the path into the trees. The screen fizzled out into black for a moment before coming up with Iggy and Fang standing beside each other facing Max and Nudge and they all looked very angry.
"We are going that way!" Fang declared pointing at a trail while Iggy just nodded to show he agreed.
"We'll get lost if we go that way. I've looked at the map. This one will lead us up the mountain and then back down to the camping ground." Max explained trying to keep her cool.
"So will this one, we're not going to get lost." Iggy insisted, "We are experienced bushman." Gazzy snorted at the last comment. He stood behind Fang and Iggy looking bored out of his mind and I can't blame him.
"We all know what you do in bushes Iggy." Gazzy laughed.
I don't even want to know what he has done in bushes.
"Ahh, that bush." Iggy said sighing happily looking like he was taking a trip down memory lane.
"So many memories." Violet agreed with him, "How many times?"
"Just about every time we've been to Arizona. It's our bush."
I whispered something to Jake quickly,
"If we go to Arizona again…make sure I never touch any bushes."
Jake chuckled as I turned back to the TV.
"You be quiet. Well Max, I guess if you're so insistent on going that way we should split up and see who makes it back first. Who's with me?" Iggy asked probably thinking everyone would suddenly put their hands up to go with him. No one did but Fang.
"Me." Fang said causing Max to glare at him.
"I'm with Max." Nudge told everyone, "Have fun getting lost boys. Because you so totally are going to." Everyone started to argue again so Gazzy took the chance to walk over to Angel who was filming everything.
"You can go with the girls if you want. I'd better go with dumb and dumber to make sure they don't walk off a cliff." Gazzy muttered shaking his head and pointing at Fang and Iggy with his thumb over his shoulder.
"Which one is dumber?" Angel asked hoisting the camera back up a bit more making it shake for a second.
"To be honest, I don't know."
Once again the screen went black before coming back a few moments later. This time it was a birds eye view, sorry for the pun, of Fang, Iggy, and Gazzy walking through the forest.
"Just admit it, we're lost." Gazzy moaned exasperated.
"We're not lost." Fang and Iggy yelled together.
"We've passed that tree five times already." Gazzy told them proving his point.
"We can get out of here. I think all this stuff looks new." Iggy said hopefully.
"Oh great, we're lost ever further into the woods."
"We can't be lost. If we go this way then…" Fang stopped mid sentence turning the map around a few times looking confused. "Okay," Fang admitted shamefacedly, "maybe we're lost."
"We're not lost. If we get lost, Violet will think I'm an idiot. She wont' trust me with the baby. And I want to spend time with my daughter." The panic rose in Iggy's rose with every word.
"Hey guys!" Max's voice called from behind the camera. The three boys looked up in surprise. Gazzy flew up to them but dumb and dumber stayed on the ground like lost puppies.
"I thought this was supposed to be a hiking trip?" Iggy called trying to save whatever dignity he had left.
"We did the whole trail and got back to the camping ground. We waited but you guys didn't show up so we came to look for you." Nudge smiled in victory. "You've gone completely off the trail."
Iggy and Fang reluctantly opened their wings and flew up in shame. After a few minutes of teasing the boys the whole flock were back at the camp site where Iggy started to have a total freak out seeing Violet no where.
"Where's Violet?" Iggy asked searching all around him. He landed quickly and ran to the now empty chair that Violet had been situated in when they had left.
"She's probably in the motor home." Someone suggested making Iggy run into the motor home but soon came back out looking frantic.
"She's not in there! What if Itex is back and they've taken her! They could be running tests on her! She's probably scared and in pain! No, they want to test the baby! My baby! No, no, no! We've got to find her!" Iggy looked like a headless chicken who was about to faint.
"Hey, how was the hiking?" Violet's voice asked as she walked up behind Iggy. He twirled around excitedly and visibly relaxed.
"Violet!" Iggy called running up and hugging her, lifting her off her feet in the process. "God, I was so worried. Don't scare me like that again."
"I went to the bathroom. What did you think had happened?" Violet asked while Iggy blushed bright red.
"Oh nothing. Hey is that the baby kicking?" Iggy changed the subject quickly making everyone laugh.
Another camping video started after this one.
Violet and Iggy were sitting on a picnic blanket completely unaware that they were on camera.
"Iggy is going to pay." Max said under her breath.
"Him and his stupid blackmail, he's always bragging about." Fang grumbled.
"The black-mailer is about to become the blackmailee." Nudge laughed silently.
"Okay, I get that we need to get some revenge on him but how is this blackmail?" Angel asked confused. "They're just sitting around talking, having a picnic."
"Iggy has that face on." Gazzy told her not taking his eyes off of them.
"He's about to get completely mushy about his 'darling baby girl'." Fang sniggered.
"He's going to have an extremely long one-sided conversation with Violet's stomach." Max explained briefly. Iggy moved over to Violet and was leaning down so his head was by Violet's stomach.
"Hello baby, I can't wait to meet you. You're going to be the most beautiful little girl ever. Just like your mama. You will be so loved and cared for. By your parents and all your assorted aunts and uncles. I know Uncle Fang is a bit angry at daddy over you at the moment but I can tell he's excited and of course you'll win him over. Because you're so adorable." Iggy cooed to her stomach using baby talk.
"She loves the sound of your voice." Violet told him sitting up and placing his hand on her stomach. "See?" Iggy grinned widely.
"I don't know if I can wait three months."
"Well there's a certain thing happening next month that you might be looking forward to. At least when that's done I can start focusing on the baby. I've been so busy with the wedding that I've barely done anything."
"I've got something for her." Iggy gave her a shopping bad which she looked inside of and smiled. "I saw it and I thought it would be perfect for her." Violet then proceeded to pull out a soft toy pig.
Lily looked up at the screen and squealed pointing at the pig. She was such a cute kid.
"Oh it's so cute." Violet whispered. "I know she'll love it. You've got this parenting thing down already."
"Well I've got a pretty good co-parent." Next thing you know they start snogging.
"I thought I wasn't getting any for the rest of the camping trip?"
"I changed my mind. Do you want to argue?"
"No ma'am." Iggy glanced up and must have seen the camera, "Let's take this into the motor home, it will be more comfortable for you." Iggy picked up Violet and started carrying her over. Everyone started panicking.
"Let's get out of here. I don't want to hear this." Fang shuddered disgustedly.
"But if we leave they'll see us and know we've been eavesdropping. We're supposed to be at the lake." Max hissed at Fang hiding.
"And Violet is not someone to mess with at the moment. And if we get in the way of Iggy getting some he'll be pissed." Gazzy pointed out.
"We'll have to hide and block our ears." Nudge said finding a place to hide.
The door opened just before the camera was switched off.
That was the end of the camping trip video.
"That was the day we all got scarred for life." Fang commented looking scared. "I never ever want to hear that again!"
"Well, you shouldn't have been eavesdropping on us then." Violet commented.
"No one can out blackmail me. I heard you guys in there. Paybacks a bitch ain't it Fang?" Iggy told him.
"You're wrong there Iggy." Jake laughed and I just smiled with him.
"What do you mean?" Iggy asked.
"I'm better." I told him.
"No way." Iggy laughed.
"Ever cross me and you'll find out how good I am at blackmail." I warned him teasingly.
"Sure sure." Iggy snorted not believing me, his first mistake.
Violet yawned and fell asleep but no way would I miss any of the videos, these were great.
A few more movies went by; Nudge graduating high school, Angel's first dance, Gazzy and his ex-girlfriend before they went to prom. The last movie clicked off leaving a blank screen. Everyone was silent but then Violet talked,
"Die dust bunnies! The banana marshmallows aren't for you, no you can't have an ice block. I'll clean you all up good!" She mumbled.
She was sleep talking, it was very entertaining. We all stayed silent listening for more.
"Its peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time. YEAH!"
A few minutes ticked by before we heard any more.
"AH, snakes on a plane guy is coming to get me! I didn't steal your fudgey pop, I swear." This was priceless; we erupted in giggles as she said more things but then came the interesting stuff.
"No, you can't have him. He's mine. I don't care if you think he's hot. Tess, stay away from Iggy. I've got a gun." Violet nearly shouted snuggling into Iggy some more. Chuckling quietly Iggy picked her up saying good night to us all and carrying her out of the house. Iggy left Lily with us sleeping on the couch but would be back for her soon.
"So where are we sleeping?" Jake asked picking up a sleeping Shadow into his arms carefully trying not to wake him.
"Well, we have one guest bedroom but it's really small so all three of you will have to share the double bed." Max explained.
"Okay." I answered following her down the hall to our room. She was right, it was small. Basically a box room. I sighed once Max left,
"Looks like we're going to need to get a house of our own."
Jake nodded in agreement as we got ready for bed.
*~*~*~*~*
That night as I lay in bed, Shadow and Jake beside me I though about the home movies I had seen that evening. My eyes welled with tears as it finally set in on how much I had actually missed, life was unfair in that way, making us miss all of that.
