OMG, I thought this file got deleted in my computer; I was about to cry!

Luckily I found it! And for your reading pleasure, here is the final chapter to this fanfic!

Chapter 7: Good Ol' Chuck

"Mmm, Beej…" Lydia whispered in her sleep.

Beetlejuice held her closer. Ever since that day he returned and held her until she stopped crying, he never again left her side. He took her on adventures in the Neitherworld and helped her to be more confident. She needed him, and he needed her.

"I wish they would think about the last four years rather than those few days. I don't care what they think of me, but I know it eats you up inside, Babes." He whispered against her hair.

She rolled around, then groggily asked to no one, "What time is it?"

"Uhmm, it's 9, I think."

She yawned and sat up. "Morning," she smiled up at BJ.

"Morning," he said back.

"I should probably head back, wouldn't want Delia to blow a gasket when she realizes I'm gone…"

She got up and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. She popped her head out and asked, "Care to join me?"

"Don't have to ask twice Babes…"

After their sexy shower together, they both got dressed so they could go back to the Real World.

"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice." She whispered. They both arrived in her bedroom, just how she left it.

"You'll stay right?" Lydia snuggled close to her ghoul. He wrapped his arms around her, I think it be best if I left, "Of course, I'll stay until you want me to leave."

She smiled and changed out of her lingerie into actual clothing. BJ simply sat on her bed, watching her. She joined him on the bed and sat between his legs.

"Last night was great," she leaned back.

"Glad you enjoyed it, Babes." He petted her hair and kissed her neck.

They just sat in silence, enjoying each other's presence and trying to forget the more unpleasant events of last night.

"Lydia! Open up!" It was Delia.

"What is it?" Lydia sighed, not willing to get up from her spot.

"Open up this instant! And I want that monster to stick around too!" They stared at each other, horror on Lydia's face. Beetlejuice growled, Fucking Maitlands, I warned them!

Lydia jumped up and opened her door. Her two sets of parents barged in. Delia stepped back when she saw the ghoul sitting on the bed, but he paid no mind to her, he was more concerned with the Maitlands who stood staring at him defiantly.

Delia turned to Lydia, fury full on her face. "I can't believe you! How can you let this thing back in our home?"

Lydia didn't respond, she used Delia's anger to fuel her own and cover up the very real hurt that her ghost parents betrayed her, again.

"You-you need to leave!" Charles stuttered out to Beetlejuice. The ghoul didn't respond, just like his love.

"Leave him alone! He can stay here as long as he wants," Lydia finally called out; everyone faced her.

"How can you defend him?" Her stepmother asked, "He almost killed your father!"

"But he didn't! And he's real sorry about that!" BJ nodded his head in agreement, "See!"

"Lydia, how long has this been going on?"

"Since four years ago. Adam and Barbara knew about that too."

Delia turned to the ghosts, "YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?"

They nodded their head, "How dare you not tell me the moment you found out! Why would you wait until now?"

"I'll tell you why they waited," Lydia spoke up. "They waited because before, we were just friends. He would make me feel better after I had a lousy day and everyone else was too busy to listen and help me. He's my best friend, and you know what else? Last night, we had sex!"

Everyone stood silent, not expecting her to say that.

"You did what!" Delia walked towards her, preparing herself to slap the girl when Beetlejuice appeared before her, receiving the slap in her stead.

"You DO NOT hurt her. Especially not in my presence." He told the redhead.

"I don't understand why you guys can't just leave us alone! You never cared about me before! Why the sudden interest now?" She cried, hiding herself between BJ's shoulder blades.

"Lydia, what I don't understand is why you don't see he's not good for you."

"Why don't you shut up Barbara!" BJ sneered. "You have no idea what you're talking about! I don't get any of you assholes! Yea, maybe I tried to con her into marrying me so I can be free, and maybe I went a little too far trying to scare you guys, but at least I never made Lyds feel like shit! Every time I see her, she's always sad about something! Whether something went on at school or something you guys said. You two," He faced Delia and Charles, "Have ALWAYS made her feel worthless. Lydia has more talent than you, you hack!" Then he faced the other ghosts in the room, "And you two have gotten to know me over the past four years! What can I possibly be doing wrong that you can't let go of what happened so long ago!" No one responded, so he went on with his rant, "And yes, we had sex last night. But I didn't rape her. I would never do anything to hurt her. Ever."

Delia was about to start on another whirlwind, but Charles spoke before her.

"All right everyone! We all just need to relax!"

Everyone just stood still, watching him.

"Ok, so Lydia, you say you have been meeting with…him, for four years now?"

"Yes."

"And you two knew about this meeting?" The ghosts nodded. "Yet you didn't mention it sooner since they were just friends and he seemed harmless?" They nodded again.

"Lydia, you enjoy spending time with him? He hasn't tried to pull any stunt like he did when you were fourteen?"

"No."

"Okay. That's all I needed to hear then. If you two have been meeting for four years now, it's just silly to be upset about it now just because we've found out."

"But Charles!" Delia interrupted.

"No 'buts' Delia, Lydia has done a fantastic job taking care of herself and she's a young woman now, if she feels that her relationship with him isn't dangerous, than I trust her judgment."

"Thanks Chuck." Beetlejuice smiled, feeling bad yet again that he dropped him from the second floor.

"But I want to say this. If you so much as hurt a hair on her head, then you will have to deal with me."

BJ cackled, "I'll keep that in mind, Chuck." The two men shook hands.

"But Charles! How can you be so nonchalant about all of this?"

"Delia, I already told you, I trust my daughter and I trust her decisions. She's an adult and we have to treat her like one. Now I'm done with this discussion, I'm going to make myself some tea and a sandwich." He walked out, Delia on his trail, complaining all the way.

"Good ol' Chuck, always comes through," BJ cackled.

"Sometimes I love my dad too much," Lydia smiled.

The ghost couple was still in her bedroom, feeling awful for the fight that had just passed.

"So, are you guys willing to give Beej a chance too?" Lydia stepped away from the ghoul's back and stood in front of them.

"We're so sorry Lydia!" Barbara threw her arms around the goth girl.

"You know we just wanted to protect you, but if he's your chose, then we'll respect that." Adam told her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"It's all right. I know you two were just trying to do what you thought was best. And I can never stay mad at you two for long. But I'm not the only one you need to apologize to."

The two looked at the ghoul.

"Look, we were wrong and we want to," Adam started.

"We're sorry," Barbara completed.

Beetlejuice looked down, hesitant, when he suddenly pounced at the two, crushing them in an immense hug and kissing them each on the cheek.

"Aw you guys! I can never stay mad at you!" He cackled.

"That's great, can you let us go now?" Adam asked, being smothered by the Ghost with the Most.

"Oh sure, sure." BJ's attention turned from those losers and to his Lyds. She called him to her side three times and they were instantly in his bedroom in the Neitherworld.

"Ready for more, Babes?" BJ grabbed on to his girl's waist.

"Actually," she gently pushed him off, "I just wanted to get out of there. It was getting too awkward for my liking."

"You got that right, Lyds." He chuckled. "C'mon, let's go for a ride, I'm sure Doomie must be feeling pretty neglected."

"Sounds good!" Lydia said with a grin on her face. She couldn't think of anything she rather be doing at that moment than taking a ride with her favorite ghoul

Beetlejuice went up to his Babes, picked her up over his shoulders, and carried her off to where Doomie was eagerly waiting for them.

And they rode off into the sunset…

Cliché ending is cliché. Sorry about that, but I didn't know how else to end this.

Good ol' Charles, saving the day and all that.

I have another story brewing in my head that will probably be longer, except I don't know when it will be written and posted up here.

Thanks to AceLions and The-Fabulous-Person, you two have been awfully nice with your comments. And thanks to everyone else who commented on my first fanfic here, and everyone who read it in general, you're all fabulous.

See ya when I start on my new story.

=D

PS. For the record, I like the Maitlands, Charles, and Delia (movie version, not cartoon version). I just made them come out as jerks here for the sake of the story, but I think they're all great. Really, the only person I didn't like that much in the film is Otho, but he had his moments, I suppose.
