Chapter Seven

" Avoiding Detection"

Jamie's dupe had just returned carrying the bag with the dog bed, as well as a new pillow for Laura. He slipped into the house, hoping to avoid Rogue who was still searching for his other self, after the insult.

" What do you got there?" Remy asked, rounding the corner in search of his wife and daughter.

" Umm, I,uh..." Jamie stuttered, fearing the need of another distraction.

"Okay give me the bag" Remy said.There is no way this is going to be good.

Jamie stared at him wide-eyed for a moment. On one hand, he could just open the bag and show him the pillow. On the other, Remy may demand to see what else is in the bag. ON THE OTHER HAND this WAS going to hurt.

" Don'tcha think Rogue's getting fat?" Jamie stated, before dividing quickly and running in four directions.

Remy growled, about to run after the boy, when Logan walked in. " I need ya to go find out why yer wife is hunting Jamie this time. She's been screaming for him in the woods for the last hour."

"... I think he may have called her fat. He just did to me." Remy replied, heading off to call his wife, but still planning the boy's punishment.

There really is something wrong with that kid. Logan thinks as he heads back to his office. He needed to refine the book to include fat comments to pregnant women.

" Where is Jamie? He should have been back by now." Angelo stated. " How long is he going to take at the store anyway?"

Jamie rushed quickly into the room, bag in hand, and Tiny slipped past him. The others look up, spotting Tiny as she slipped by.

"Oh no! Tiny got out." Julien said running towards the door .

The children quickly split up in search of the wayward puppy. Everett and Jonothon heading left, and Jamie and Angelo heading right. Victor and Laura quickly stashing the new supplies before Victor followed Everett and Jonothon, and Laura followed Jamie and Angelo. Julien had taken off after the puppy, but no one was really sure where he had ended up.

Jamie and Angelo spot Tiny as she is about to go into the dining room. She had nearly reached the door. " No Tiny! Don't go in there!" THey yell, running forward.

The other searchers hear them, and round the corner just as Jamie picks the puppy up.

"Tiny you are not supposed to go out" Jamie said to the puppy as she licked his cheek.

" We need to go." Julien stated as the others nod and slowly back away from the dining room.

They make their way upstairs and to Jamie's room. Everyone quickly sits down, and breathe a sigh of relief, having narrowly avoiding being caught again.

The puppy quickly makes a nest fr herself in the pile of clothing in Jamie's closet, after he shooed her away from the latest Brownie-catching trap under his bed, this time popcorn. He had already tried brownies, cookies,ice cream (which made a huge mess), a cheeseburger, and popcorn.

She suddenly jumped up, and sniffing around, squatted next to Julien, who stared horrified but not moving as the puppy prepared to pee. Laura rolled her eyes as Jamie quickly snatched the puppy up. As the other all stare at Julien, wondering if he would've moved.

" Hey, Can I keep TIny tonight?" Jamie asked suddenly, still holding the squirming puppy.

"I do not mine" Laura said , feeling the need to take a break from the puppy. The others nod, in agreement with her. No one really felt they had the energy to keep up with the puppy tonight.

How did the LeBeaus have the energy to take care of that baby and teach? Maybe puppies were harder... or the LeBeaus were just crazy. Either way, none of them wanted to try taking on a baby and school. If Logan had known about this line of thinking, it's possible (maybe probable) that the man would have handed out puppies instead of the dolls.

"Goodnight" Laura said to Tiny as she pat the puppy on the head. Everyone then filed out of the boy's room.

Once they were all in the hall, no one really could think of anything to say. Julien broke the silence after a few minutes.

"Well I'm going out" Julien said

"Don't bring another puppy" Jonothon said half joking.

"I won't... most likely" Julien said walking out the door. Jonothon stared after him for a few minutes. He then went in search of his girlfriend. Hopefully whatever crazy contest thing Laura and Paige where doing was over. Because they tend to drag him into it as a referee.
