Ellie complained a bit less now that I was able to help her with Chase. I have to say I loved Chase. I loved children before but I loved them even more because of this little boy. He was great. Chase loved his toys and loved his blocks the most. I think it is because his father invents things. I loved watching Chase trying to crawl. The little boy would either just move his arms or just his legs. He'd yet to coordinate the two.
Now that I could help with Chase I became a bit of a nanny for the boy. Ellie could get all her work done while I fed, changed, and took care of Chase. I didn't mind. It was great to finally get to play with the boy. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if all fairies got to see their children.
Ellie didn't really like me flying with Chase though. Not that I blamed her. I wasn't the best of fliers. There was a lot I still needed to improve on, but I was getting better. Ellie even gave me new clothing. She'd gotten me some of her old stuff from when she was human. I thanked her for that. I had to make some holes in some of it for my wings. I also mostly had to do layers to keep warm.
"Ellie!" Nick barged into her office. I was taking Chase back to the playpen from changing his diaper at the time and froze.
"Yes?"
"Our son can float? Vhy didn't you tell me?" Nick said looking straight at me. I guess he couldn't see me.
"He can't." Ellie said simply.
"Then vhy is he flying?"
"He's not."
"Vhat?" Nick came over to Chase and his hands when right through me as he checked for wiring or anything that was holding up his son. It kind of made me feel bad, but it also felt like I was in some type of magic trick.
"Stop doing that. Lex doesn't like it." Ellie scolded her husband. "Just like you didn't like it when kids didn't believe in you."
"Vho is Lex?"
"Lex is Chase's Fairy Godmother."
"Vhat?"
Ellie explained everything to him like I'd explained to her. She even told him that neither she nor I knew how, but Chase could now see me. Nick kept looking in my direction. Sometimes he would squint and would make the square with his fingers to frame where I would be.
"So she been here entire time?"
"Not entirely. She can come and go. Lex sleeps in the spare bedroom."
"Vhen can I see her?"
Ellie looked at me and I shrugged. I didn't know when he'd be able to see me. "Whenever he believes I guess." I said and Ellie repeated it. I went over and put Chase down for his nap.
"Vhere is she now?" Nick said looking around frantically.
"She's by Chase. Don't worry she's not going to hurt us."
"How do you know?"
"If she was going to she would have!" Ellie replied. "Now why did you come in here in the first place?"
"I vas vondering if you vould be interested in having all the Guardians over."
"Why?" I asked. Ellie did too.
"Vell, I vas thinking that it vould be to celebrate our anniversary."
"Its our anniversary?" Ellie asked. "What anniversary? We passed our marriage one. It certainly isn't the anniversary of when I found Karl. So it's?"
"No not our anniversary…the anniversary of the Guardians."
"Oh." Ellie replied. "Sure, but I ain't planning it. It's all on you."
Ellie and I made sure Chase looked like a mini version of his father for the party. I was even forced into a dress to look appropriate even though I was sure that no one was going to be seeing me besides Ellie and Chase. Nick was trying. He seemed to sense where I was in a room, but never quite found me. Ellie looked like an angel in her white gown. I wore something gold that amazingly matched my wings. Chase wore a light version of his father's Russian coat.
"Let's go." Ellie took Chase from me. She and I agreed that we didn't want to explain a floating baby.
I have to say Nick did a decent job about doing this party. Of course Bunny was complaining about cold feet and there was a small argument going on about Easter and Christmas. Tooth was busy directing baby teeth every which way. Sandy seemed content making sand images for the elves. I was fascinated on how he talked since Ellie told me he doesn't actually speak.
"Awe look at him!" Tooth came over to Ellie, Chase, and I she went right through me. I shivered there was something weird about that. "He's going to have great teeth."
I left Ellie then I didn't want to impose, plus there was something about Tooth that I found a bit creepy. I sat with the elves as Sandy told them a story. It was amazing how he made the story come to life. The elves would ask questions from time to time and Sandy would 'sand' an answer. I guess that's what it is.
Ellie set up a playpen around the elves and Sandy. She shoved Chase in my lap. I help the boy up. At one point in the story I noticed that some of the elves had fallen asleep. There were a few still struggling. Suddenly the images stopped. Chase whined.
"Come on big guy. Wake up!" I shook his shoulder. I shouldn't have done that.
I was in his dream. I was in the Sandman's head! This was so cool! There were millions if not billions of dream creatures everywhere. They were turning into sand! They went from being normal animals into sand animals. I guess this is how Sandy creates the creatures at night.
It was amazing. They animals/creatures would cross a line and they'd be normal or sand. There were all kinds of things from dancing flowers to juggling penguins. I was amazed. I flew up into the air and looked around. I had to find Sandy. I wanted to tell him about the millions of fairies that worship him. Of course I liked his work not so much him. I looked around and saw him in a flying Noah's ark type boat.
"Cool!" I shouted. I loved this world inside his head. It wasn't as strange as Ellie's swimming pool of candy though at one point when I was flying I was being rained on by candy. I had to stay I would never get bored in this world that Sandy create. "Sandy!" I shouted upon seeing the little guy.
Up close Sandy was smaller than me. I mean I was maybe the same height as Tooth but Sandy was awesome. The Sandman spotted me and gave me a signature question mark.
"Oh right. I'm Lex. I'm Chase's Fairy Godmother, you've probably never heard of me, but um. You fell asleep and I tried to nudge you awake so you could finish the story since Chase really wanted it finished but I came here instead. It happens a lot…well two times that I know of…if I touch someone while their under your sand's influence."
Sandy smiled at me. He gave me a sleeping gesture then one as if he just woke up.
"Okay so you're going to wake up alright. Thanks. I'm sure Chase will appreciate it."
Sandy woke up and smiled at me. Chase was now sleeping. "Well so much for finishing." I muttered. "I guess it's time for bed little man." I got up forgetting all about Ellie supposed to be the one taking care of him. I hovered over the little gate and towards Chase's room. I turned around when I felt like I was being followed. I saw Sandy there. "No need to be so far behind me." I said. "Chase's room is the next on the left mind getting the door?"
Sandy went ahead of the sleeping little boy and me. He opened the door and made a sand bowler and bowed letting Chase and me through. "Why thank you kind sir." I gave a small curtsy back. I put Chase in his crib. "Night. Sleep tight." I said turning away. Sandy had a small ball of dream sand in his hand. "You're going to give him a dream?" I asked excitedly. Chase didn't dream yet. Well never got a dream that Sandy gave him.
Sandy nodded and let the sand make its way towards Chase. Instantly it turned into his building blocks. They would be built up and then fall down and be built back up again.
"So cute." I whispered as not to wake him. "Time to go back to the party." Sandy floated up a little higher and offered me his arm. "Of course you can escort me. What a gentleman you are."
A/N: I'm sure this is the moment you've all been waiting for. Check out my next story my Pitch/OC story Finding Courage. Ellie, Lex, Chase, and others will appear in that story just like the rest. You'll be meeting Gen a girl that you'll see grow up a bit and become a woman because I totally don't want to see Pitch who's like 234 billion years old with a teenager.
