Chapter 14

It was around nine o'clock the next morning when the children woke up. Claude and Caleb were in the corner of the room; Claude was leaning against his brother's shoulder a blanket draped over the two. Cupcake and Monty were still on the other couch each taking a side with their own blankets. Sometime during the night Pippa had landed on the floor in front of the couch, blanket and throw pillow under her head. Jamie was in the middle of the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table. Jack and Sophie were each snuggled into one of his sides, both using his lap as a pillow. Jack was sucking on his thumb contently snuggling into Jamie. Sophie was hugging a stuffed bunny to her chest in a tight grip as she was curled up next to her brother.

Jamie blinked as he looked around, bringing up his hands to rub the sleep away before letting out a very large, very loud yawn. Pippa groaned from the ground. Monty cracked his back as he got up. Cupcake blinked sand from her eyes before throwing a pillow at the twins still sleeping in the corner. Muffled remarks were heard as Claude buried his head into Caleb's shoulder. Pippa walked over, pillow in hand and smacking both of them before opening the blinds to let in blinding sunlight and earning multiple groans. Jamie looked down as Jack blinked confused eyes. The boy's pink glow now dimmed but still slightly visible against his very pale skin; his pink hair once again shocking white. The toddler looked up at Jamie and yawned. Jamie chuckled ruffling the youth's hair as he shook Sophie's shoulder in an attempt to wake the still sleeping girl. A tiny hand came out to bat his hand away and the blonde turned away burying herself into the corner of the couch. Jack giggled, climbing over Jamie to reach the blonde. Said blonde had shifted behind the back of a pillow where a shadow was created to block out the evil sunlight. Jack poked her side and a hand came up to bat him away. However, the white-haired child just continuously poked the little girl's side before a growl sounded out and Sophie tackled the unsuspecting toddler off the couch, the pillow falling next to the two.

"You'we up!" Jack squealed before giggling at the stink eye that Sophie gave him. While she may only be four, the girl appreciated sleeping more than other children. This was usually because she used too much energy during the day. She grabbed the pillow next her smacking the giggling toddler in the face. "Hey!"

"Don't wake me up!" Sophie growled angrily, hitting Jack again. Jamie smirked, grabbing the other pillow beside him on the couch before throwing the pillow at his sister. The blonde looked up in surprise then smirked grabbing a pillow in each hand. She threw one of the pillows at her brother as she used the other to smother the still giggling Jack beneath her. Claude looked up from his brother's shoulder a grin spreading across his face as he grabbed the pillow Pippa had thrown at him.

"Pillow fight!"

Pillows went flying through the air, some just barely missing the pictures hanging on the wall and the vase that sat on one of the tables. How neither of these items were hit well…Laughter filed the house as Mr. and Mrs. Bennett walked down the stairs and into the TV room.

"What are all doing?" Mr. Bennett said, the children froze. Cupcake was in mid swing at hitting Monty and Caleb. Claude was attempting to sneak up on the three. Meanwhile, Jamie, Sophie, and Pippa had teamed up against Jack. The white-haired youth was backed into the corner being attacked by pillows and evil tickling fingers. The boy was crying out for mercy as the two parents walked into the room. Jamie looked up his parents.

"We're having a pillow…fight?" Jamie said confused. Wasn't it obvious what they were doing? Mrs. Bennett patted her husband's shoulder.

"They're being kids, Robert. Come on, let's go make breakfast," Mrs. Bennett said, walking out of the room, "I was thinking about pancakes and bacon this morning…"

Pippa let out a sigh of relief, "Well, that went rather…better than I thought it would. Geez, Jamie, is your dad always this uptight? I don't remember him being so…"

"Non-fun?" Monty supplied.

Jamie sighed, "Yeah, well, he got that job down at some fancy company whose all about being strict and what not. But Mom's filing the role in now."

"Yeah, dude! That food fight yesterday was awesome; when she walked in I thought she was gonna kill us! Best Mom ever!" Caleb said. Jamie smirked, yeah his mom was awesome.

"Jamie?"

"Yeah, Jack?"

"Can you get Sophie off of me, pwease?"

Jamie chuckled walking over before scooping up the blonde that was still sitting on Jack's chest, pillow raised threateningly in her hand. Sophie pouted before heading off into the kitchen the smell of bacon and pancakes filing the air. The others laughed before they followed. Mrs. Bennett was flipping the last pancake onto a plate. Mr. Bennett was reading the newspaper at the counter seat, a cup of orange juice in hand. A plate of steaming plate of bacon sat in the middle of the table along with eight plates of pancakes. The children sat down hurriedly and began wolfing in the food.

"So, I was thinking that since everyone has their parents picking them up at two," Mrs. Bennet said turning away from the stove, "How about we all go to the park?"

"YES!"

Mr. Bennett got up, kissing his wife's forehead. He grabbed the briefcase from the hook next to the back door, slipping on his shoes and giving out a short goodbye. The children ran back up the stairs, quickly slipping on their clothes before racing back down and out the door. The park was about a ten minute drive to the center of town, but for the children it felt like hours. The van ha barely come to a complete stop before they were all piling out of the car, Mrs. Bennett yelling about waiting for the car to stop and safety going unnoticed. It was a rather large playground. There were two parts divided across what resembled a pond. The two structures were connected by a bridge and monkey bars. Multiple slides and rock climbing walls darted around. A set of swings sat off to the side next to the baseball field.

Jack pulled on Jamie's hand, causing the brunette to look down at the child. The white-haired boy pointed at the swings before taking off, Sophie at his heels. Claude, Monty and Caleb ventured to the basket-ball court as Cupcake and Pippa disappeared into the 'castle' part of the large structure. Jamie followed the two toddlers who were attempting to get up onto the swings. Jamie picked up Jack, placing him in one of the swings made for children and doing the same for Sophie. Jamie's mom came over to the three before lightly pushing Sophie's swing. The little girl squealed in surprise.

"Jamie, push me!" Jack exclaimed, "Pwease!"

"Alright, bud," Jamie replied, pushing the toddler higher into the air. Jack let out a laugh as the swing began going higher and higher.

"Higher, Jamie, higher!" he squealed. Jamie chuckled,

"You're practically touching the sky, how much higher can you get!"

"To the moon!"

"Alright, kids, it's time for lunch!" Mrs. Bennett called out.

"Aw!"

"What, nobody wants the picnic I made?" Mrs. Bennett asked, exaggeratingly gasping.

"No, wait!"

"We want it!"

"I don't know," she replied.

"WE WANT IT!"

"Alright, ham and cheese sandwiches, potato chips, home-made cookies, and…blueberry popsicles for everyone!"

"YES!"

"Now, we have lunch and you can all play for another hour before your parents come. How does that sound?"

"Mommy!" Tooth and Sandy walked over to the children, who were all playing on the swings. The two toddlers had left to go play tag in the jungle gym. Jack started running over, "Sandy."

The little blonde man waved as the toddler ran over. But a broken branch on the ground tripped the child before he could reach the two Guardians. A sharp yelp followed as the child fell to the ground, scraping both his hands and feet. Tooth let out a gasp as she rushed over to the now sobbing boy. She picked him up, smothering him into her arms as she rubbed his back comfortingly. The little boy only let out another sob before sniffling.

"Oh my gosh," Mrs. Bennett said rushing over to the two, "Is he alright?"

"Yeah, he just scraped his knees. I'm going to bring Jack home now to fix the cuts up," Tooth replied, bouncing the sniffling toddler on her hip. The white-haired boy was clutching on to Tooth, burying his head into her shoulder. "Come on, sweetie, let's go home and get you patched up, yeah? Maybe after Sandy and you can play, how does that sound?"

Jack nodded; barely raising his head from her shoulder before glancing down at Sandy, the man offered a bright smile. He looked up at Tooth before raising his hands down at Sandy. Understanding the message, Sandy took Jack before wrapping the toddler in a tight embrace and allowing a small strand of sand to reach Jack. The toddler closed his eyes a small smile on his face as he tightened the grip on Sandy's robe. The two Guardians waved goodbye at the children who were still glancing worriedly at Jack, Sophie wearing a teary-eyed expression. The two Guardians disappeared around the corner and popped into the portal. Sandy carried Jack through the Workshop and into the Infirmary. Tooth laid out bandages, a wash cloth and a bottle of peroxide. Sandy laid the sleeping child onto one of the medical beds. Tooth placed a towel beneath the boy' legs, before pouring the peroxide over the scraps on the child's legs. Jack woke up with a gasp, whimpering as the liquid burned the wounds on his legs.

"Oh, sweetie, it's okay. This will help your boo-boos, okay? You'll be back on your feet in no time," Tooth cooed as Jack sniffled. Sandy climbed onto the bed beside the boy before placing Jack into his lap and wrapping his arms securely around the little boy's waist. Jack leaned back into the embrace before clinging tightly onto the blonde man as Tooth poured more peroxide over the wounds. When the liquid fizzled on his skin, she poured water over the wounds then drying them. Tooth slathered a dash of Neosporin over the scraps, undoing the wrapping and putting bandages on. She couldn't help the slight giggle at the image of Easter eggs covering the bandages. Apparently, North's opinion on Easter was a little less "not as important as Christmas." Tooth quickly patched up the minor scraps on Jack's arms before deeming him fit to go. Sandy glided to the floor, Jack still in his arms before flying back to the living room. Bunnymund had gone to help North for the day and said he would help look after Jack later on.

Sandy placed the white-haired child onto the ground in front of the couch before leaning over and grapping the tub of Legos. The child, though barely four, was an expert builder. The Duplo Legos were too easy for the boy and he often grew bored of them. So, North had given the boy some new sets to choose between, such being the Lego City, Batman, Marvel, Cars, and SpongeBob. Though SpongeBob did not last very long as soon as Bunny's eyes spotted the box it was in the trash faster than you could say Patrick. Surprisingly, Jack had chosen a mix up of Batman and Cars.

Sandy now placed the already built sets on the table; there were four of them, a bank, the Batcave, Flo's V8 Café, and Mater's Spy Chase. Picking up the pink car, Sandy placed a dot of sand on the bottom of the car before letting it fly around the room before pumping into the toddler's nose Jack let out a laugh as the car continued to fly around, occasionally run over his feet, down his back, and up his arms. Sandy added sand to other Lego pieces and soon Batman figures, Mator, and Lightening McQueen were all floating around the room. Jack let out a giggle, getting up to chase the floating Legos around the room.

It was around five o'clock in the evening when Bunny and North made their way down to the kitchen. Tooth had already started on dinner: pork, pasta shell, and corn.

"Where's the ankle-biter?" Bunny said, looking around the room.

"Jack's with Sandy in the living room. Be careful, though, he banged his knees up at the playground today. Poor kid tripped over a branch," Tooth replied. North nodded before going over to help bread the pork. Bunny stayed to set up the table and help watch over the cooking pans of corn and shells.

"Bunny, got get Jack, dinner iz almost done," North said. Bunny nodded before heading down the hall. He opened the door to the living room and walked him, mouth opening to talk before…

A Lego Batman flew into his mouth.

The Pooka started choking before spitting the blasted Lego across the room.

"Are ya tryin' to kill me?!" Bunny exclaimed to the two who were laughing on the ground. The two stopped long enough to glance at one another before bursting into a new round of giggles. "Why ya litte-!"

The Pooka chased the child around the room before Jack hid behind Sandy. The little man's face lighting up before he placed the boy on his back and took off down the hallway, the Pooka hot on his heels. The three burst into the kitchen to a started North and Tooth. Bunny scooped Jack off of the Sandman's back and lifting him into the air.

"Ha! Got ya, ya little ankle-biter!"

"Bunny, I ask you simple request. Get Jack for dinner. What is so hard about that?" North said, arms coming out to gesture at the plates covered in paper towels, "Food is getting cold."

"But-but he…and the Lego…and the…I give up!"
