Thank you to wavingthroughawindow, SpellCleaver, intomiddle3arth and Missmathdork1608!

wavingthroughawindow: Thank you! Yeah, the maturity level is bit high for babies (just a bit ;), but thanks for asking!

SpellCleaver: Thank you! I may give the baby a name towards the end of the story, but it isn't really relevant for now.

intomiddle3arth: Aaaah, thank you! Your comment made me smile so much :D. Their relationship will definitely change as they get older, but it won't be as… bargain-y/Tamlin-y as in the books. I mean, this is a FeyRhys story, but like… they're kids at this point so it's more frenemyship right now.

Missmathdork1608: Thank you so much! The Inner Circle will definitely come in at some point, but they won't be as central to the story. That's a really good idea, by the way!

"You've gotten taller," the girl said in surprise. She scrunched her nose. He hadn't come out from under the bed for the past few days, and scaring the girl was no where near as fun without him (not that she'd ever tell him).

"Yes I have," he said, subtly puffing up his chest.

The girl laughed as his wings fluttered in a midnight breeze.

"C'mon," she said, slapping his shoulder. The girl pulled herself up the side of the crib, rolling through the small gap between the bars.

The boy rose into the air, picking his nails in boredom.

"Showoff," the girl muttered under her breath. The boy stuck his tongue out at her.

But as they approached the child, who now held herself at over two feet tall, she started to whimper.

The boy exchanged a worried glance with his companion. "She's never done this before," he whispered. He hesitantly reached a hand out - then stopped short. "What do I do?"

The girl gave him an incredulous look. "Why should I know?" she whispered back.

"Uhh. Because you're a girl?"

The boy narrowly missed a punch to the shoulder. "Rude," he huffed.

"Rude?!" the girl whisper-exclaimed. "You simply assume I can do something because I'm a girl, and my reaction is rude?"

The boy's face bloomed a bright red. "Sorry," he mumbled under his breath. "I didn't realize."

The girl shook her head. "Well, you better realize now."

The boy nodded, and gratefully turned to child, who had now settled into a more peaceful realm of sleep.

The two, together, had learned many scaring techniques together. With what mind reading capabilities he had, the boy was able to turn her dreams into nightmares, though said nightmares were little less than surprise. (He was too nice, the girl claimed. The boy wasn't sure whether to take that as an insult or compliment.)

Unfortunately, he could only apply his powers when he was near the baby. He tiptoed closer, closer, closer…

The little baby twitched.

The boy screamed and flung himself backwards, barreling into the girl and sending them both into one of the railing bars.

The girl pushed him, violently, from behind. "You - you little - you - how - you - you're so stUPID! You IDIOT!" she spluttered out.

Immediately, both of them gasped.

"Take that back!" the boy told her, hurt coloring his words.

"No!" the girl fired back. "You pushed into me."

The boy struggled to speak for a few moments, then then finally hopped through the gap in the railing with a humph.

"You won't be able to get down without me," he called from under the crib.

"I don't need your help," the girl sniped, nimbly clambering down for herself.

The cupboard closed with a pointed bump! that night.

Aagh, it's been over a month since I've posted! Sorry.

So we have finals next week, and I actually hate it. On the bright side, winter break's gonna be great! Plans: stay up till 4 binge watching Supernatural.

Also, I watched Thor: Ragnarok with my family, and I'm in two minds about it. I mean, it's great and it's hilarious on one hand, but on the other it's not as serious as the Thor movies usually are. And it has quite a few plot holes.

[SPOILER AHEAD]

Also, they kill the Warriors Three and Lady Sif isn't even there, and Thor doesn't really care. Heimdall is the only character from the first two other than Thor and Loki who don't die. It makes sense, as they're trying to usher in a knew era of Thorness, but at the same time ;alsdkjf;alskjdf;alf. Sif was bae.

[END SPOILERS]

Anywho, see ya next time!

Random Fact: I watch most of my Netflix during school hours.
