I woke up to the sound of laughter and a baby squealing. My mom and dad were finally home along with my new baby brother. I grinned and tried to pull away from Lash, who was still in a deep sleep, only to be held onto tighter. His arms instinctively coiled around me, wrapping around two or three times and pulling me closer. I pulled my hair out of it's pony tail and put the rubber band to the top of Lash's shoulder. I pulled it back and snapped it against his bare skin. He screamed, uncoiled his arms, and fell off of the bed. I flinched when I heard him hit the ground. I leaned over the side of the bed and gave Lash an innocent look.
"Don't try that with me, I know you did this," Lash narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. "But I'm not even going to bother at trying to get you back."
"You know, the only reason that I even did it was because you're way too overprotective in your sleep." He smirked at me and looked away.
"Who said I was sleeping," I rolled my eyes and threw a pillow at him, hitting his head. "I'm hungry."
"Of course you are, you always are."
"Are you implying that I'm fat?"
"Honey, you are so not fat. If anything, you're anorexic skinny- thanks to your damn power."
"Awe, thanks sweetness. I'm watching my figure just for you." I groaned and threw another pillow at him.
"You are such a weirdo." Lash stood up and threw the covers off of me, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. He slapped my butt before walking out of the room. "Is that a new way to show your affection for me, smacking my ass?"
"You know it," he growled and bit the bare skin showing on my side. I smacked his back and held onto his shirt.
"Don't do that; especially not now when we're in my parents home." Lash continued to carry me until he entered the kitchen, then he sat me on the counter top. My dad was sitting at the kitchen table with my mom beside him, both grinning down at the baby.
"To think, I had him barely a week ago. The doctors said that he would be in there for more than three weeks, but this little guy is a fighter," mom whispered, trying not to wake Walter. I grinned and looked at Lash with my head leaning to the side.
"Lash," I whined pouting a little. "Will you cook for me?" I bit my lip and gave him puppy-dog eyes. He sighed and nodded.
"Fine, what do you want?" I smirked and hopped off of the counter. I took out a package of both sausage links and bacon, a carton of eggs and pancake mix.
"Just remember, you said you would." I squeezed the side of his face and walked out of the kitchen.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just go get Bobby." He mumbled and put the frying pan on the stove top.
"She's most definitely her mother's daughter." I heard my dad say, laughing along with Lash.
"What's that supposed to mean?" My mom asked harshly.
"She's got him whipped already."
"Well us Jinx women have a reputation for being known to change a man, plus we're bossy and violent." I grinned as I walked back up the steps and knocked on the door to the guest bedroom.
"Yes?" Bobby asked timidly from behind the door.
"Bobby, it's me. I was wondering if you wanted breakfast?" She opened the door and weakly smiled at me.
"Sure." She walked out of the room and gave me a hug. "Thank you so much, I love being here. Your family is so nice."
"You're very welcome, sweetheart. You can come back here with me any time you want, just let me know if you want to come." She nodded and I got down to eye level with her and smirked. "Let's go watch my boyfriend attempt to make something edible." She giggled and nodded.
"Hey! I heard that and I'll have you know that I am an excellent cook!" Lash yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"I need proof, so go and make the food!" I shouted back before walking down with Bobby's hand in mine. We sat on the couch with a good view of the kitchen. I turned the TV on and Spongebob was on, it was the episode where they're having a snowball fight. Bobby and I giggled when Patrick made a cube instead of a sphere and then the DNA double helix. Mom had ended up giving Lash an apron saying that she didn't want to wash the flour off of his clothes; but I knew the truth, she did it to entertain both her and myself. After the episode of Spongebob ended I noticed that Lash was finished cooking, so Bobby and I walked out to the kitchen. Lash sat a plate in front of me and then Bobby.
"There you go," I stopped Bobby before she took a bite.
"Let me do it first, if I die- don't eat it." I whispered to her and Lash narrowed his eyes at me. I took a bite of the pancakes and my eyes went wide. "Holy shit, Lash! What did you put in these?"
"Language in front of the kid!" Mom said before turning her attention back towards the baby.
"I put maple syrup into the mix before making them." Lash replied, smiling in his victory. I nodded and took another bite, both the bacon and the sausage tasted similar to the pancakes. He must have fried them in syrup. I normally dislike eggs, the thought of eating a chicken fetus, but he put a lot of pepper on them- making them fantastic.
"Lash,"
"Mm-hmm?"
"I might have to marry you just for your cooking." He smiled and winked at me.
"My mom taught me when I was younger, one of my secret shames."
"Nothing to be ashamed of."
"So it looks like our daughter found her other half, she's the baker and he's the cook." My mom said to my dad, letting out a hearty laugh.
"Did you take my advice?" My dad asked, winking at me. I laughed but nodded, everyone else at the table looked confused.
(Extra)
Elsewhere-
Two people sat in the shadows of the room staring intently at the screen. The screen showed Katherine, James, Amazon, Walter, Lash and Bobby sitting at the kitchen table. All of them were laughing like a family normally would be.
"They make me sick," the female spoke angrily with a scowl on her half hidden face. Her pointed bone structure evident since her chin was visible. "Why can't we take the girl now?" She hissed, glaring at her partner.
"Shut up, we'll take her soon enough. Now that Amazon and the boy have started a relationship it might be harder to take the girl. She'll be very protective of her, almost like a mother." The screen zoomed in on Bobby's face.
"I thought you knew people that were supposed to bring her to us." He scowled and slammed his hands down on the table.
"I did but that Scarlet bitch killed them before they could take her."
"We didn't want the girl to be raped before they brought her to us, so it's a good thing that happened. Now we can do the job ourselves, that way we'll know it'll get done with no interruptions." She touched the side of his face and smirked evilly at the screen. "You have it wrong, Honey. Amazon won't be a problem now that she's being distracted by the boy, it will be much easier to steal Roberta now. My only question is, what shall we do with her once we have her?"
"Easy, we're going to kill her before she can come into any of her powers." She growled low and seductively at him before grabbing the back of his neck and kissing him fiercely.
"I love it when you get violent." She whispered in his ear before slamming her lips onto his once more.
"In less than two weeks Roberta Battle will be dead and Amazon Jinx won't be able to do a thing about it." He cackled loudly as she laughed menacingly.
"I love being married to you, my dear."
"The feeling is mutual, now we must leave here before people start to wonder where we are." They slid on their glasses and turned the screen off, walking out of the room smirking at each other. "And the best part is, no one will ever know it was us." Steve put his normal heroic voice on before smiling at Josie and leaving the secret sanctum.
Very big surprise ending. :O
