A/N:Hey everyone, guess what? I'm officially back on FF! If you're wondering what I'm talking about and thinking I've been here this whole time then just ignore this little notice. Oh and BTWs, I did NOT steal the title from Justin Bieber! My friends keep on accusing me of theft so I just thought I'd mention that. Thank you for all of the incredible reviews and please enjoy chapter nine of Never Say Never!

Disclaimer (I keep on forgetting to say this): I do not own Alvin and the Chipmunks. (And apparently I don't own the title of this story either!)


"Where are we going dad?" Jamie asked Alvin.

Alvin thought the paperwork would never be finished, but it finally was over. He was officially the father of Benjamin, Jameson, and Rosalinda Seville-Morrison. They left as soon as all the papers were in order and were now heading down the street, Alvin holding Rosie's paw as Jamie walked on the other side of him while Simon and Ben trailed behind them.

"We are going to meet your other uncle and his wife." Alvin replied.

"Uncle Theodore and Auntie Ellie?" Rosie questioned as she skipped.

Alvin nodded. "Yep, those are the ones."

"Is there anything you didn't tell them about your past?" Simon asked.

He shook his head. "I think I told them every single detail."

"He went on for like an hour about Miss Brittany's hair once." Ben said.

"It was not like an hour try like five minutes." Alvin protested.

Simon chuckled and smiled at Ben "I can see him doing that."

Alvin shot his brother a glare. "Thanks Si."

The newly reunited family continued to talk and tease Alvin until they reached Theodore and Eleanor's small house.

"Wait here with your Uncle Simon; I'll be back in a minute." Alvin told his children before he walked into the house.

Theodore and Eleanor greeted him from their position on the couch where they were watching the food network.

"Where were you Alvin? I thought you and Simon were going to the store?" Eleanor asked.

He nodded. "We did."

"Since when does it take four hours to go to the grocery store?" Theodore asked.

His older brother chuckled nervously. "Well we did some other stuff too."

"Like what?"

"Jamie give me back Lucy!" Rosie suddenly screamed.

Jamie ran into the room at full speed clutching the doll Clara had made for Rosie for her third birthday. It wasn't even ten seconds before Rosie was racing after him, Ben and Simon right behind her.

Alvin grabbed Jamie before he could run passed him. "Give the doll back to your sister Jameson."

"But dad," Jamie began to protest.

"Now," Alvin ordered.

The boy tossed the doll back to his sister.

Alvin nudged him. "Apologize."

"Sorry Rose. Happy?" Jamie asked Alvin.

"Like you mean it."

Jamie sighed. "I'm sorry Rosie."

Rosie cuddled Lucy close to her. "Apology accepted Jamie. But you still need to apologize to Lucy."

"Do I have to?" Jamie asked Alvin.

Alvin folded his arms across his chest as he nodded.

"You have got to be kidding me!" The chipmunk in red clad exclaimed.

"Just do it so we can get on with our lives." Ben snapped.

Jamie groaned in frustration as Rosie held at the doll in front of him. "I'm sorry Lucy."

Rosie cuddled the doll to her chest once more and nodded. "She forgives you Jamie."

Theodore stared at the kids first. "I'm sorry but who are you kids?"

"I'm Ben; this is my brother Jamie, and our sister Rosie. We're Alvin's kids."

Theodore and Eleanor turned to Alvin shocked.

Simon cleared his throat. "Why don't the kids come outside with me while you guys talk?"

Alvin nodded. "It won't be too long."

"Come on Rose," Ben said as he held out his paw for his little sister. She accepted his paw and they followed their uncle and Jamie outside.

"So you have kids now?" Eleanor asked after they were gone.

Alvin sighed. "Those are the kids I used to take care of when I was a nanny. Their dad died when the little chipette was a couple days old, the one wearing my cap was two, and the one with the glasses was four. I helped their mother, Clara, out in exchange for medical help and then six years later I left to come back here. It turns out a couple days after I left, Clara died of a lung infection. I was all they had left. So earlier today I adopted them. That's why it took us so long at the store."

"Those poor things." Eleanor said sympathetically as she stared at the direction the kids had left with Simon.

"How are you going to take care of them?" Theodore asked.

Alvin shrugged. "I have my savings. Turns out you guys didn't touch them when I supposedly died."

"Wait one second, you actually have savings?" Theodore asked surprised.


"They're so adorable." Eleanor gushed to Alvin as they watched them from the doorway to the living room. Ben had challenged Simon to chess and had beaten his uncle and every match, while Jamie watched them, and Rosie played with her doll.

Alvin nodded. "Yeah, they are." He took another sip of his beer before he asked, "So are you and Theo thinking about kids."

Eleanor froze, obviously caught off guard by the question. It took her a couple moments before she replied, "We've been considering our options."

Alvin looked at her confused until he heard his son announce, "Checkmate."

Simon shook his head in frustration. "Best three out of five."

Ben shrugged. "Sure, I can always beat you again Uncle Simon."

"Having trouble beating an eight-year old at your favorite game Si?" Eleanor asked amused.

"Shut up Ellie." Simon retorted.

"Ooo, Uncle Simon said the S H word." Rosie said looking up from braiding her doll's hair. "Put him in time out."

"I can't put your uncle in time out. He's a grown boy." Alvin replied and Simon rolled his eyes.

"Hey Dad, can I ask you something?" Ben asked.

Alvin nodded. "Of course kiddo."

"What happened with Brittany? Are you guys back together or is something else happening?"

Jamie and Rosie both looked at their father wanting to know the answer to Ben's question. Simon, Theodore, and Eleanor looked at Alvin wondering how he was going to explain the situation to his kids.

Alvin's gaze flickered between the three before he stood up and clapped his paws. "Time for bed."

"Not until you tell us about Miss Brittany." Jamie argued.

Alvin ran a paw through his hair. "It's complicated."

"What's so complicated about telling us what happened between you and the girl you were going to propose to?" Jamie asked exasperated.

"You were going to propose!" Alvin's brothers and sister-in-law exclaimed.

"Did I forget to mention that?"

They all nodded still in shock. Alvin ignored their looks and quickly turned back to his children. "Alright bedtime. Let's go upstairs."

The three children groaned in protest. Their father gave them a stern look. "Now,"

Ben, Jamie, and Rosie all jumped to their feet and said goodnight to their uncles and aunt before scurrying upstairs.

Simon watched them impressed. "How did you do that?"

Alvin couldn't help but smile. "I learned that trick very early on from their mother. It works like a charm."


"Goodnight Dad." Ben said as he climbed into the bed beside Rosie. He slipped off his glasses and placed them on the bedside table as Jamie climbed into the bed on the other side of Rosie.

"Why does Rosie get to sleep in the middle?" He complained.

"Because Rosie is six and needs you guys to protect her." Alvin said.

Jamie sighed obviously not happy with the answer. Rosie gave him a smile but he ignored her.

"Night kiddos, sweet dreams." Alvin gave each of his children a peck on the cheek before he walked to the doorway and turned off the lights. He left the room and rejoined the rest of his family downstairs. "Thanks again for letting us stay here." He told his brother and sister-in-law as he collapsed on a chair. "We'll be out of your hair soon."

"You're fine Al." Eleanor insisted.

Simon stood up before Alvin could reply. "I better get going. Denise had lunch with her sister today."

"Doesn't she hate you?" Theodore asked.

Simon nodded. "Yep and now I have to do some damage control."

"Lana doesn't seem that bad." Alvin argued.

"When did you meet Lana?" Simon questioned.

"Earlier today. Actually, it wasn't too long before you dropped the bomb that you're asking Denise to tie the knot." Alvin replied.

"You're proposing!" Theodore and Eleanor both exclaimed at the same time.

Simon shot Alvin an I'm-Going-To-Murder-You-Later glare before he answered, "Yeah, pretty much."

"Simon Oliver Seville, your proposing to your girlfriend and all you have to say is 'Yeah, pretty much?'" Eleanor demanded. A sheepish chuckle escaped Simon's mouth as he looked at the fuming chipette. A smile suddenly lit across Eleanor's face before she wrapped her arms around Simon in a hug. "Congratulations!"

Simon hugged her back, confused. The look remained on his face even after Eleanor released him and he left the house.

"You know I never thought he'd actually commit to a relationship after Jeanette." Eleanor said as she sat back down beside her husband.

Alvin shook his head. "I thought there would only be a relationship with Jeanette."

"Are you still on that?" Theodore groaned. "It's in the past. She cheated, got pregnant, she lied, he left, tried to apologize, and then she divorced him. What part is so hard for you to wrap your head around?"

"The whole they starting fighting and she cheated on him part." Alvin replied. He saw his daughter peeking into the room. He smiled to himself and asked, "What do you need Rosie?"

Theodore and Eleanor both turned to see the chipette walk into the room. "How do you always see me?" She pouted.

"You're a terrible spy." Alvin reminded her. "Now what do you need?"

"Can you tell us a story before we go to bed?" She asked.

Alvin's eyebrows rose. "Us?"

Jamie and Ben both entered the room and stood on either side of their sister. "Yeah us." Ben said.

Their dad rose from his seat and he scooped up Rosie in his arms. "Which story do you want to hear?"

"The one where you went around the world, then what happened with Miss Brittany." Jamie requested as he and Ben followed their father out of the room.

"You know if you would've told the teenage me that my older brother, Alvin Seville, would adopt three kids he used to be a nanny for and be a great dad, I would've laughed in your face." Theodore told his wife as they watched them go.

Eleanor nodded in agreement. "Well we've all changed Teddy."

"True. Last week I shot a bird at Rob's farm. I don't think I could've done that as a teenager."

"Wasn't that his son's stuffed animal?" Eleanor asked.

Theodore turned his attention on the TV and muttered, "Still counts."


"Where are you dragging us to?" Ben asked his little brother as he led them down the streets of L.A. Rosie was holding on tightly to Ben's paw as they weaved through the crowds of humans.

"Miss Brittany's place." Jamie replied over his shoulder.

"Why?" Rosie asked.

Jamie paused to look around as he answered, "Remember how dad told us the other night Miss Brittany won't talk to him and refuses to see him."

"Yeah,"

"Well we are going to go find out why and get her to forgive him. He's so lost without her." He started walking again towards an apartment building leaving his siblings to hurry after him.

They walked into the apartment building and looked around. "Now what?" Ben asked.

"We use the power of our little sister." Jamie whispered back before he turned to Rosie. "Okay Rose this is your time to shine. You have to ask for the room number for your Aunt Brittany. Say you were separated from your mother and you remembered that your aunt lives here and that you need her help. Got that?"

Rosie nodded before Jamie nudged her towards the receptionist.

"This is never going to work Jamie and I can't believe you would use our little sister like this!" Ben hissed.

"Relax Ben it'll all work out in the end."

Rosie skipped back to them a couple seconds later. "Apartment 24."

Ben stared at her dumbfounded while Jamie hugged her. "Good work little sister. Now c'mon let's go meet Miss Brittany."


"I thought Dad said there were guards?" Rosie asked when they reached the home of Miss Brittany Miller.

Jamie smiled. "They are currently on their lunch break."

"I'm not even going to ask how you know that." Ben said as Jamie knocked on the door.

"One moment," A voice called and a couple moments later Brittany appeared at the door. "Can I help you?"

Rosie couldn't help but stare at the chipette. Alvin was right when he said she was one of the most beautiful chipettes in the world. She had the most beautiful blue eyes Rosie had ever seen and she was wearing a pink shirt with a pair of jeans. Unlike Rosie's auburn hair, Brittany's was long and in curls.

"Cookies!" Rosie blurted out before her brothers could say anything they had planned.

Brittany raised an eyebrow. "Cookies?"

"That's right," Jamie answered for his sister. "Can we interest you in some cookies on this fine afternoon?"

Ben did a mental face palm as Brittany shook her head. "Sorry, I don't need any cookies."

"Wait!" Jamie exclaimed before Brittany could shut the door. "Do you mind if we call our dad real quick?"

Earlier his Uncle Theodore kept on talking about how he needed to call his dad. Jamie had no idea what he meant but it was worth a try to get Brittany to talk to them.

Brittany gave them a curious look. "Alright but make it quick."

"You know Alvin can't hear us from here, right?" Rosie whispered to Jamie.

"The phone's in there," Brittany told him as she gestured to the kitchen.

Ben and Jamie went to see if they could figure out what in the world she meant by phone while Rosie just looked around the room. Her face lit up when she recognized a younger version of Alvin smiling in a photo with a younger version of Miss Brittany. "Who's that?" She asked Brittany.

Brittany looked at the photo Rosie asked about with a sad gaze. "That's me and my ex-boyfriend Alvin."

"Why did you guys break up?"

"I received a picture of him kissing another girl."

Rosie sat down on the couch and looked at Brittany. "Did he mean to?"

"He claims she kissed him but I don't know if I believe him or not."

"Did you love him?" The little chipette pestered.

Brittany nodded. "I did and even though I don't want to I still love him."

"My mama used to tell me before she died that love means that you trust the other with your life and that you would do anything for them."

"So maybe I'm not in love with Alvin."

Rosie shook her head in disagreement. "I just think you need to trust what he said and forgive him." She gazed at the picture once more. "He seems like the kind of guy who would be lost without ya."

"You're right, wait you never told me your name."

Rosie's eyes grew wide before she blurted out Alvin's nickname for her, "Posie,"

Brittany smiled. "Well you're right Posie."

"Ready to go squirt?" Jamie asked as he and Ben came back from the kitchen.

"Did you get in touch with your dad?" Brittany asked as she opened the front door for the kids.

"Sure did, thanks for your help." Jamie lied as they quickly left the apartment.

"Bye Miss Brittany!" Rosie called over her shoulder.

Ben and Jamie's eyes widened in panic. Brittany hadn't told them her name. They each grabbed one of their sister's arms. "Run!"

"Why?" Rosie asked but her question was left unanswered as her brothers ran down the stairs and out of the apartment building, dragging their little sister behind.

They didn't stop running until they reached the safety at the park they told their Aunt Eleanor they would be playing at.

"Why did we have to run?" Rosie asked her brothers once they stopped.

"Miss Brittany didn't tell us her name." Jamie told her harshly.

"Oh," Rosie said in understanding.

Ben collapsed on one of the park benches. "Well that accomplished nothing."

Rosie shook her head in disagreement as she sat beside him. "I had a talk with her and I think she's going to forgive Dad."

"Aunt Eleanor," Jamie said.

His sister looked at him like he was insane. "No I talked to Miss Brittany."

"No, there's Aunt Eleanor." Jamie said as he pointed to their aunt coming towards them.

"There you kids are! I've been looking all over for you!" She exclaimed once she reached them. "You guys ready to go get some lunch?"

Rosie jumped to her feet. "Sure, is dad coming?"

Eleanor shook her head. "No he went to go with your Uncle Simon to help pick out an engagement ring."

"Why does Uncle Simon need an engagement ring?" Ben asked. "Isn't he married to your sister?"

"No they broke up a while ago."

"Why?" Jamie asked

"I'll let your dad explain that one to ya." Eleanor told them.

The group began walking and Ben remembered something from earlier. "Hey Aunt Ellie, what's a phone?"
