Amusement Parks, Babies,
and Brilliant Plans
Chapter Nine
"Betrayal!"
Dr. E. had thought about it long and hard, while Debbie dug him out from under the whiteboards (again) and had decided that he had the moral obligation to inform his son, and the other teachers of the school, that that foolish boy was trying to get a baby.
So, after he had dusted himself off, and put on his best grey suit, he made his way over to the school, dragging Debbie along. She rolled her eyes, as he ranted about the fate of the world, and how his son would finally loved him and want to join the family business.
"You know, sir, my shift ended a half hour ago." Debbie said, as they climbed out of the car.
"*gasp* DEBBIE! You know I'm paying you overtime, I always do when the whiteboards attack me." Dr. E replied. " Plus, as my girlfriend, you'll receive half of everything I make off of this project."
"I'm not your-okay." She said as they approached the door. Before they could say anything more, Logan yanked it open.
"What are you doing here?! Read the sign, no salesmen!" Logan said. " I'll take seven, and then you have to go…maybe twelve, but that all!"
"LOGAN! No, no shopping!" Rogue said from behind him as Wanda sprayed him with a water bottle. Rogue then turned to the door. " What the hell Logan, they ain't salesmen anyway. That's my crazy father-in-law and his assistant, Amanda."
"Excuse me, but this is my girlfriend, Debbie." Dr. E replied.
"Whatever. What do you want?" Rogue said, she was getting hungry, which added to her short temper when it came to annoying relatives.
"I have the moral obligation to inform you, that just today, two of your students attempted to hire my services to create for them a child. I told them no, of course, but I felt you needed to know about this attempted furtherment of the Baby Apocalypse. I have also been informed, by this same boy, that you are no longer in fear of said Apocalypse, but allow me to point out, that the boy who 'solved' it is the same one attempting to further it. Leading one to believe, that his 'solution' was faked in an attempt to further his own goals. Furthermore, it seems very likely that said child, may indeed be the root of the entire Apocalypse to begin with." Dr. E stated.
"…Are you on medication?" Wanda asked, as Rogue just stared at the man. Logan however, began to growl.
"No. Why do you ask?" Dr. E replied to Wanda, as Logan walked over to the intercom and screamed into it for everyone to come to the foyer.
"Perhaps we should go." Debbie suggested.
"No, Debbie, I must see this through, my love. If you fear the boy though, you may wait in the car." Dr. E replied.
Before she could answer, or move, the entire household had descended onto the foyer.
"WHAT IS THIS I HEAR ABOUT JULIAN BUYING A BABY FROM SINISTER?!" Logan screamed. Remy paled. Rogue glared at her husband, seeing his expression. John attempted to hide behind his wife and son. The other kids tried to look small, Wade and Emma stared open mouthed, Jean laughed and Julian glared at Dr. E
"My name is Dr. E now. Sinister sounds far to evil." Dr. E pouted.
"WHAT ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY?! I'm so suing you."Julian said.
"You are not my patient, or my client. It does not apply." Dr. E said smugly.
"YOU!" Logan screamed. "YOU MADE ME BURN THE BOOK AND FORGET ABOUT THE DANGER WE WERE IN JUST SO YOU COULD DO THIS DIDN'T YOU?!"
"WAIT! THE BABY APOCALYPSE IS BACK ON?!" Wade screamed, before running from the room to find the old charts.
"I did not! I didn't even think about having a baby until Mr. LeBeau said that having one made him grow up and-"
"DON'T TRY TO PUSH THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE! ESPECIALLY NOT AN OVERWORKED TEACHER TRYING TO HELP YOU! REMY, ANNA, GO PACK! YOU NEED THAT VACATION MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE! Be back next week, please, we need you for exams. I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS BEHAVIOR ANYMORE!" Logan said, Remy and Rogue slipping away before he could change his mind. " You will go to your room and think of all of the damage you have caused, you will not speak to or look at my daughter until you have learned your lesson, and someone please burn every teen magazine in the house before Laura gets anymore ides."
John happily went off in search of magazines to burn, Julian disappeared upstairs with his usual mumbling, Wanda rolled her eyes to follow her husband so that he wouldn't go overboard. The other kids disappeared, Jean slipped away,and Laura continued to glare, unhappy that her boyfriend had not talked to her about his plan.
Logan meanwhile, had calmed down slightly, and had escorted Dr. E and Debbie off the property, before looking around, and asking "Hey where are the LeBeaus?"
~o~O~o~
Remy was happily whistling as he drove down the highway, not only had he dodged the bullet for Julian's foolishness, but he had somehow managed to get permission to take his family on vacation. Kaitie was happily singing in the backseat,she loved car rides, and Oli had already fallen asleep.
Remy glanced over at his wife, and stopped whistling. She was frowning, with her arms crossed, and glaring in his direction. Maybe he hadn't dodged the bullet after all. He attempted to give her his best 'I did nothing wrong' smile…that just seemed to upset her more however. He was trying to figure out how the smile had failed, when she rubbed her slightly protruding belly. Oh that's right, when she's pregnant, she's overly emotional. He thought to himself. He would never say that out loud though. Oh no, he had learned that lesson the hard way last time. He'd had a bruise for a week right on his left shoulder.
"Did I do something wrong, Chere?" Remy asked.
"What did you say to that idiot anyway?"
"I told him about how stupid I could be at his age, including when I kidnapped you, and how horrible it was that I did that to you."
"How did he decide that meant he should have a kid?"
"I don't know…he asked me what changed, and I said having Kaitie, and you."
"Hmph" Rogue said, but smiled. "Well that was true, you did a lot of stupid things, you can't really be blamed for that boy being so dumb though."
Remy nodded, relieved that she wasn't mad at him over it. Having a hormonal wife angry with you was not a good start to the first family vacation you've ever had, so he hoped that he could smooth everything over.
Kaitie interrupted then from her seat. " Me godded go potty!"
Remy quickly looked for an off-ramp while Rogue assured the girl everything was okay, even if she had an accident, and mentally cursed not putting the girl in a pull up before they left.
They made it to a gas station, just in time, and Rogue took the girl in, as it became to late, and quickly changed her after Kaitie went potty(again). When they returned to the car, Remy helped hook the girl back up, while Rogue swore that " The kids are wearing pull-ups for every driving trip from now on, I don't care if they're twelve!"
Remy doubted she meant that…or at least that she would actually do that. So he changed the subject by asking her wear she wanted to go.
