Their speech is better. A whole lot better actually but from time to time, they will slip up like little kids do.
School Days
Chapter 10
"Why do we have to go Jeb?" I asked him as we walked down the hall. I was holding Fangs hand and Iggy was in front of us next to Jeb. We are four now. See, I an count to four! One two three four!
"Because, it's easier to keep you three in a room than in separate cages." He said. "Now, there will be another child that will be joining you."
"Who?" Iggy asked.
"It is a she. She had wings like you and will stay with you from now on."
"Does she have boobs?" Fang asked. I hit his arm. "I was asking for Iggy."
"Yeah that way I'll get a wife too." Iggy said. "Will she?"
Jeb sighed. "No she will be younger than you guys."
"Max is not a guy." Fang said. "Say sorry."
Jeb sighed again. "Sorry Max."
"Thank you." Fang said, smiling at me.
"Jeb when I get a wife do I have to smile at her and stick up for her?" Iggy asked.
"Yes." He said.
"Can I have two wives?" He asked. "That way I can be mean to one and nice to another."
"No!" Fang said. "That's against the rules."
"You can only have one." He said, walking up to a door and opening it . "This will be your room for a while."
"All three of us?" I asked him.
"Yes and the girl that will be joining you. She will still be a baby and you guys will have to have to take care of her."
Fang hit Jeb in the leg. "Stop saying guys. Max is a girl!"
Jeb grabbed Fang's hand. "You don't hit."
"Don't touch him." I kick Jeb. "Leave him alone."
"Yeah." Iggy hit Jeb too.
"You know what? Fine. Here" He threw our blankets at us. "Do whatever you guys want. I've tried to be nice but you guys just won't accept it!"
He slammed the door behind him. I looked at the boys.
"He'll be back."
"They always are." Fang said and we all giggled.
Fang grabbed his and my blanket and laid them next to each other. Iggy sat his on the other side of mine.
"I wonder what the other kid will look like." Iggy said.
"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders.
Fang walked over to the corner and say down. I sat next to him and smiled at him. He looked at me but didn't smile back. He didn't like to smile that much.
"You didn't have to hit Jeb." I said. "I do things myself."
He shrugged.
"He did to have to." Iggy said, from where he was sitting. "You his wife."
"So?" I stuck my tongue out at him.
"So he gets to pro-tact you." Iggy said.
"No." Fang said. "I just wanted to."
"Oh." I said. "Tanks."
"It's thanks Maxie." He told me.
"Oh. Thanks." I said. Fang liked to correct Iggy and me if we messed up to bad.
He nodded. "You're welcome."
We were all quiet for a while until the door opened. They laid this thing on the ground and then left. We all got up and went to see what it was.
"What's wrong with it's skin?" Iggy asked. It was brown.
"She's black." Fang said. "Pick it up Maxie."
"Why me?"
"I might drop it and Iggy would say more mean things about it's skin." He explained.
'Fine." I reach out and picked it up.
"Hold her flat on her back, cradled in you arms." Fang instructed.
"Like this?" I asked, doing what he said.
"Yeah, now lift your elbow so that it's head is up some." Fang said. When I did it he said, "Good."
"What do we do now?" Iggy asked.
"We make sure that it doesn't cry." Fang said.
The baby was wrapped up in a pink blanket. I walked over to our blankets and set down, careful not to drop her. Fang sat next to me and Iggy on the other side. The baby looked up at us, watching us.
"I think it looks weird." Iggy said.
"Don't tell her that." Fang said. "You hurt her feelings."
Iggy looked sad about how Fang kept telling him to be quiet after he said something about the baby.
"It's okay Iggy." I said, smiling at him. "Fang's grumpy."
"I am not." Fang said, crossing his arms.
"Yes you are. You woke up last night and didn't go back to sleep." I said.
"I had a bad dream." Fang said.
"About what?" Iggy asked.
Fang shrugged. We all got quiet again. Eventually, we got tired. Fang and I carefully laid the baby in between us and we all went to seep. Oh wait, Fang said that it was sleep.
