Ratigan woke up drowsily, wondering where he was,

He realized he was at the Cassidys hideout, along with Isabelle and the children. Isabelle was sleeping soundly next to him, her ears twitching in her sleep.

There was suddenly a loud clap of thunder and Isabelle sat up straight, her eyes wide open.

"Wha-Wheres the cannon?" she mumbled, making Ratigan chuckle.

"It's just thunder, my dear." He said, seeing her fully waking up. There was another loud clap of thunder and their bedroom door slammed open, a blur heading to their sheets and covering itself.

"Lizzy, are you ok?" Isabelle asked as the mouseling shook under the covers. Another clap of thunder made her flinch as she dove into Isabelle's arms.

"Aw, honey, its ok, it's just the storm." Isabelle crooned and then their ears perked up when they heard screaming coming from Vincent's room.

"I'll get him." Ratigan said as he got up and went to the baby's room. He saw Vincent curled up in a ball and then let out a scream when there was a loud boom of thunder. He picked him up and crooned to him, walking back to the bedroom, sitting next to Isabelle.

The rest of the evening passed with the children staying with them until the storm passed.

AN: a little ficlet of the kiddies scared of thunder and running to their parents. Cuties! Yes, what Isabelle said I got from Harry Potter. If you are wondering why the others haven't woken up, they are heavy sleepers, they could sleep through Armageddon.

Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, except Isabelle and the kiddies.
