25. Training Charley, Nina's birthday

-Chapter 25, training Charley, Nina's birthday-

Of course, not every day was like that, and sometimes unusual things did happen.

About a week later, the weather finally cooled off to the point where spending long lengths of time outside was perfectly feasible.

Anyway, as usual I woke up next to Phoebe, who was snuggled up to me, fast asleep.

-quietely, tiredly- Me: "Baby girl you awake?"

She didn't respond, so I decided to stay in bed with her for a while longer.

Charley was throwing another tantrum the night before, so she didn't get to bed until well after midnight.

Eventually I fell back asleep, had a quick dream about battling some new, undiscovered pokemon, only for her to wake me up before I could capture it.

-tiredly,quietly- Phoebe: "Cj?"

-woken up- Me: "Huhhhh? Ooooh...goodmoorning baaaby."

-lovingly- Me: "You sleep well baby girl?'

-quietly,tiredly- Phoebe: "-yawns-...I guess."

She gently clung to me.

-uncomfortable- Phoebe:" I'm cold, warm me up."

-enamored- Me: "Hehe.."

-realizing- Me:"Oh...yeah you are cold."

-playfully- Me:"Why are you so cold?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "I don't know."

-cutely, tiredly- Phoebe: "-sighs-, I love you."

-lovingly- Me: "I love you too baby girl."

We kissed back and forth for a little bit, then we just layed there and cuddled. There always seemed to be something magical about waking up next to her everyday, it never lost its charm.

Anyway, after a few moments of silence, she smiled at me.

- tiredly- Phoebe: "Next time Charley throws a fit..."

-curious- Me:" mhm?"

-softly, tiredly- Phoebe: "You're dealing with him."

-cutely, tiredly-Me: "Fair enough."

She kissed me again.

Me:"Why did he get upset anyway?"

-tiredly- Phoebe: "He saw a spider and it terrified him."

-unsure- Me: "Oh...ok, just a regular spider?"

-tiredly- Phoebe:"Mhm."

-tiredly- Phoebe: "I smooshed it, and then he was still upset because he was terrified there may be more of them."

Me: "Hehe...ok."

-tiredly- Phoebe: "I thought he would never stop, but he eventually wore himself out and fell asleep."

-amused- Me: "Hehe..."

-unsure- Me: "So you...want to play around?"

-tiredly- Phoebe:" Not right now."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: " Let me wake up first."

-playfully- Phoebe: "And maybe warm up a little bit."

-softly, playfully- Phoebe: "Then maybe we'll have a little fun."

Me: "Ok."

She snuggled me, and then kissed me once again.

-playfully- Me: "Comfortable?"

-content- Phoebe: "Mhm."

Me: "Good."

We layed there quietely for a few minutes, until Charley started to cry.

-softly- Phoebe: "What are you waiting for? Go get him."

-confused- Me: "Oh, right... I have to get him."

-tiredly- Phoebe: "Mhm."

-tiredly- Phoebe:" I'll be up in a few minutes."

Me: "Ok."

I gave her a kiss before gettting out of bed, then I quickly got dressed and headed over to Charley's room.

Charley settled down on his own once he saw me.

-softly- Charley: "Dawhy?"

Me: "Goodmorning Charley."

He smiled at me as I picked him up.

Anyway, I changed his diaper and then brought him downstairs. He seemed to be ok with me getting him up, even though it was usually Phoebe that did so.

Anyway, I got him a bottle of milk to drink, and then set him on the floor by his toys so he could play. I kept the tv off, as Nina was probably still asleep in the room behind us. The next next half hour went by slowly as I watched Charley play around on the floor, while Phoebe eventually got out of bed and made her way to the shower upstairs.

Me :"It sounds like your mother is up."

-curiously- Charley: Mawa?"

Me: "Yep."

Me: "She'll be down in a little bit."

-happily- Me:"Just keep playing around little guy, everything is fine."

After Phoebe got out of shower, she came downstairs and took Charley into the kitchen to start making breakfast while I went up to take a shower, it was standard morning routine from then on out. Outside, it was a thursday morning, the sky was cloudy, but the local news channel, which now gave daily weather reports again, insisted their would be no rain, and with the temperature much lower than it had been, it was a nice change from the heatwave we sat through last week. It didn't take long for Phoebe and I to decide what we wanted to do today, we wanted to take Charley outside and let him practice using his teleporting, in the empty field betweenour house and the timber that was relatively free from obstacles. So after spending a few minutes checking the weather on the news channel, Phoebe dressed Charley in traditional ralts clothes, so he could be warm and comfortable, and then we headed outside.

Out in the field, the grass was taller than Charley, so he could be pretty hard to see, especially since he still couldn't stand on his own, although his balance was improving. When crawling around on his belly, the grass towered over him. At just eight months, Charley was already quite large by ralts' standards, supposedly this was because he wouldn't evolve, and would instead keep growing like a human child, he was about one and half feet tall, with a weight of around 16 lbs.

Anyway, because he was so hard to see, Phoebe and I had to keep a close eye on him.

We placed him in the center of the field, while Phoebe carefully removed his bracelet, the first time she had done so since she had put it on. Then we went about ten feet away from him in opposite directions, with Phoebe to the north towards the timber, and me to the south towards the house . Nina stayed in the center so Charley wouldn't get scared, as well as to help keep track of him whenever he teleported.

He didn't have the ability to teleport very far yet, maybe just a yard at most, so keeping track of him wouldn't be difficult, hopefully as he continued to grow his power would increase, but the important thing now was to get him aquainted with this amazing ability, so he could learn how to use it effectively.

-unsure- Me: "So Pheebles, what now?"

Phoebe:" I'll call him over and see if he comes."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "Almost all baby ralts are trained this way."

Me: "If you say so."

Phoebe: "Come on Charley! I'm over here."

-unsure- Charley: "Mawa?"

Phoebe: "Don't be scared."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Come here sweety."

Charley couldn't see very well through the grass, but he was able to tell what direction he had to go to get to her.

We saw a brief flash of light, as he teleported a little further north, trying to get to her.

Nina: "He did it."

Phoebe: "Well where'd he go?"

Nina: "He's just a little further in front of me, he didn't move very far."

Phoebe: "Yeah, well, he is still a baby."

Another flash.

Nina: "He teleported again."

Phoebe: "Ok I see him."

We could see the grass move as he pushed it down.

Phoebe: "Come here Charley, you're doing good."

This went on for a little while, as the third time he teleported he went further west, then crawled south a little bit, before teleporting further north west, he seemed to be a little confused, but he didn't give up.

-unsure- Charley: "Weh Mawa?"

Phoebe: "Come back to mommy Charley."

Charley teleported north once again, passed Phoebe, then he crawled eastward, towards her, before teleporting even further North.

Phoebe: "-sighs-"

Phoebe teleported about ten feet to the North, to stay ahead of him.

Phoebe: "Come forward Cj, he's over here now."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "Come here Charley, you missed me."

Phoebe: "Nina, why don't you go over to him and pick him up so he can see where I am? I think he may be a little lost."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina went over to Charley, and gently picked him up.

-playfully- Nina: "I got you Charley."

-happily- Charley: "Newa!"

Nina: "-giggles-"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Charley look over here."

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa!"

-playfully- Phoebe:"Hehe, did you find your sister?"

-cutely, playfully-Charley: "Cawey luh Newa."

-enamored- Phoebe: "Awe..."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Ok Nina, that's enough, set him back down."

Nina: "Ok."

She gave him a kiss on the cheek before setting him down.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Come here Charley."

Charley looked over at Nina again.

-playfully- Nina:"Go to mommy."

Nina teleported away so Charley could stay focused.

This went on for quite awhile, as every time Charley teleported a little closer, he would then teleport further away. Nina had to pick him up many times, to show him where Phoebe was, as he kept getting lost.

Unfortunately, he never made it to Phoebe today, after teleporting about 30 times without success, he got tired, and started to cry, clearly not wanting to practice any more today.

-stressed- Charley :"Weh mawa? Cawey wa mawa!"

Nina: "I showed you where she was just a few minutes ago."

She had picked him up a second time.

-loudly, in pain- Charley :"Cawey oweee."

-concerned- Nina: "What's wrong?"

Phoebe teleported over to him and picked him up.

Phoebe: "Awe...Charley, you ok?"

-still sad, but somewhat relieved- Charley: "Mawa..."

Phoebe: "It's ok Charley, mommy's here."

Phoebe :"Your head hurts again doesn't it?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Ohhhh, that's ok."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "It's just your first day, not many ralts succeed on their first day either."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "We'll take a break for now."

She carefully slipped his bracelet back on, and gave him a kiss on the head.

Me: "So now what?"

Phoebe: "He's tired, we should take him back inside so he can rest."

Me: "ok."

We all headed back up to the house.

A few minutes later, in the living room.

Nina was now playing outside with her pokemon.

Phoebe and I were on the couch, and Phoebe was holding Charley, who was almost asleep. She had given him a little bit of medicine for his headache, so he was extremely tired now.

Me: "Do you think he's doing good?"

Phoebe: "He did ok."

Phoebe: "If we work with him everyday, and he doesn't make it by the end the week, then we should start to worry."

Phoebe: "I think today he just got a little disoriented, he doesn't quite understand how it happens yet, so he's bound to be a little confused."

Me: "Ok."

-softly- Phoebe: "Charley, are you going to fall asleep on me?"

He didn't repond, but he looked very comfortable.

Me: "Looks like he will, any minute now."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "Here, why don't you take him upstairs and set him in his crib?"

Me: "Ok."

She carefully handed him over to me, I brought him upstairs, gently set him in his crib and tucked him in.

-lovingly- Me: "There you go little guy, have a nice nap."

I turned out the lights and quietely left his room.

After I went back downstairs, I found Phoebe outside on the porch, watching Nina play.

Phoebe: "Hello Cj."

Me: " Hey baby girl, I was looking for you."

Phoebe: "I just came out to watch Nina."

Me:"Oh ok."

Nina seemed to be playing tag with her pokemon again, Matches was barking like crazy.

Me:" She seems to be having fun."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "Are we going to send her to school next year?"

Phoebe: "If we are, we should probably try to find out which one we should send her too."

Me: "Yeah, you're right."

Me: "You want to go into town today and look at some?"

Phoebe: "We need to find some to look at first."

Phoebe: "We can use the computer at the pokemon center."

Me: "Yeah, we could.

We had a computer in our room upstairs, but it couldn't connect to the pokemon world's internet. The pokemon center had a few computers that were free to use, not just for the pokemon storage system, but also for general purpose things, kind of like those at a public library.

Phoebe: "So what do you think?"

Me:"Well do you want to go there today?"

Phoebe:"Yeah, but we'll have to wait until Charley's nap is over."

Me: "Yeah, that's true."

Me:"Or one of us can go while the other stays with the kids."

Phoebe: "But Nina should go too, she should have a say in this."

Me: "Yeah, you're right."

Me:"So do you want to go or should I?"

Phoebe: "Why don't you go this time?"

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe:"Nina sweety come here."

-unsure- Nina: "Mom?"

Phoebe: "Come here."

She made her way over to us, with Matches following her. Her other pokemon continued to play without her.

Nina:"What's going on?"

Phoebe: "Go return all your pokemon, you and your father are going to the pokemon center."

-curious- Nina: "Why?"

Phoebe: " Well, if you're going to go to school next year, we should start looking into it now."

Phoebe: "So you're going to the pokemon center to look at schools to attend on the computer there."

Nina: "Ok."

Me: "Come on sweetheart, we'll take the skyline."

Nina: "Ok."

She quickly returned her pokemon and headed into the garage.

-in disbelief- Phoebe: "Really?"

Me: "Well why not?"

Me: "I haven't driven it in awhile."

Phoebe: "Oh allright, but print some stuff out for me if you can."

Me: "I will if I remember."

Me: "See you in a little bit."

Me: "Love you baby."

Phoebe: "Love you."

I gave her a kiss and then headed into the garage, Nina was already waiting for me in the car.

I got in the car and hit the button to open the garage door, I was somewhat surprised the remote still worked. I changed the oil in it just a few days ago, along with the oil in our other usual vehicles, the sedan and Phoebe's camaro.

I slowly pulled out of the driveway, and started heading towards Slabtown, closing the garage door behind me.

Nina: "Can I drive?"

Me: "No sweety, sorry, but no."

Nina: "-sighs-, ok."

Eventually we arrived at the pokemon center, we went to a small area to the right of the counter where they had a few computers. Sure, I could have just used my phone, but the screen is difficult to read, and we needed to be inside anyway, as it would be even more difficult to read while driving, anyway, we used one of the available computers to access the websites of every highschool in Goldenrod. After eliminating one that was in the clear northern part of city, as well as another one that was in a suburb on the northern outskirts, there were three to choose from. One of them being just a few blocks away from the center. And another clear to the east, a few blocks from the neighborhood where James used to live. And there was another one to the west, on the western edge of the commercial district.

They were Goldenrod Central High, Goldenrod West High, and Oceanview High.

Oceanview was clear to the eastern part of the city, just south of the port, so it did indeed have an ocean view, and was also just a few blocks away from a beach. Because of this, it was also somewhat more expensive than the other two. Similiar to the games, goldenrod's eastern side bordered the Cyan Gulf.

Other than their location, it was hard to tell them apart. The one closest to the pokemon center was a little older than the others, with its main building being constructed in the 1960s, and the other two being built about 20 years later in the 1980s. I would say Oceanview probably looked the best in the pictures, but that meant very little.

Me: "So Nina, if you go to school next year which one of these schools would you like to go to?"

-unsure- Nina: "I don't know."

Me: "Well, why don't look at the website, and just see which one sounds better to you?"

Nina:" I don't know how to use computers."

-surprised- Me: "What?"

Me: "-sighs-, Well, sit down then, I'll show you."

I gave her my seat, and quickly showed her the very basic essentials of operating a computer, as she had apparently never used a regular computer before, oddly enough.

Me: "It's very simple sweety, you just use the mouse to click on things."

Me:"See?"

Nina: "I see."

Me: "And then you read all the information on this page, and go to the next one."

Me: "Understood?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Me: "Ok then."

Me:"I need you to read these pages."

Nina: "Ok."

I found another chair and sat by her while she started to read. It took awhile, so I got my phone out, and decided to see if Phoebe would text me.

Sure enough, she replied just a minute or so later, so texting her kept me occupied for a few minutes while Nina continued to read through the websites.

-about 15 minutes later-

Nina: "Ok I'm done."

Nina: "But I still don't know which one I want to go to, none of them seem to teach pokemon training."

Me: "Nina, we're not sending you to school to learn how to train pokemon, we're sending you there so you can learn how to interact with people, and then hopefully if that goes well, you can go off on your own journey as a pokemon trainer."

Me:"So, really you should just pick whichever one you'd be more comfortable going to."

Me :"And then maybe some other day, we'll arrange a visit, so we can see it in person."

Nina: "Ok."

Me:"-sighs-, just a second your mother texted me again."

Nina: "What are you talking about?"

Me: "Oh...nothing important, just stay focused on what your doing."

-unsure- Nina: "But I'm not doing anything."

Me:" You should be thinking about what school you want to go to."

-cutely, unsure- Nina:"Oh...ok sorry."

Nina: "Hey this one has a pokemon battling class."

Me: "It does?"

Me:" Sounds cool."

Nina: "Mhm."

Nina: "And it has an indoor gym, and a battle arena."

Me: "Most high schools have an indoor gym sweety."

Nina:" Oh...ok."

Nina: "What about the battle arena?"

-unsure- Me: "Um, I don't know."

Me: "You know, what, we could probably just go check them all out, you don't have to decide now."

Nina: "Really?"

Me: "Mhm."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina: "Can we get something to eat now?"

Me: "Like what?"

Nina: "I don't know."

Me: "Well if you make up your mind, then maybe we can go somewhere."

Me: "Just wait a minute though, Phoebe wanted us to print some stuff."

I got back on the computer and printed out some information from the websites, then I got the papers from the printer and we left the center together.

-a few minutes later, in the car, on the way home.-

Nina: "I want a burger."

Me:"Well sweety, maybe we should just head home, your mother may be making something for lunch already."

We were already out of the commercial district, and heading towards the experiment facility, traffic was busy, and it would be alot of work to turn around and head back toward the nearest restaurant. There were also a lot of large trucks on the road , though it was an industrial area, so that wasn't unusual.

As usual, there was a lot of traffic in the portal building, it always took a few minutes just to get to the right portal as there were dozens of other cars in front of us. Atleast they kept moving.

The strange thing was that in this one building, you could see people and cars comming and leaving from all parts of the world, well almost all parts, the ones that weren't in this building were in the adjacent one, that we had never gone inside before.

Anyway, while we were heading to the portal, Nina noticed something.

Nina: "Daddy?"

Nina: "It's that guy again."

-unsure- Me: "What?"

Nina:"The guy that broke into our house."

Me: "Oh you mean Marconi?"

Nina: "He's over there in that car."

I looked, sure enough it was him, heading the opposite direction, surprisingly unnoticed by any of the guards, in a black Renault, so he must of been hiding in europe somewhere. They don't sell Renaults in America. I wondered if he noticed us.

Nina: "Should we follow him?"

Me: "No, not right now."

Nina: "Why not?"

Me: "Because it's too dangerous for you, and it doesn't look like he's up to much, probably just on a milk run or something. "

Me: "Let's just go home, if he causes trouble, then your mother and I will deal with him."

Nina: "Why can't we deal with him?"

Me: "I already told you, it's too dangerous for you, and it doesn't look like he's up to much trouble anyway."

-disappointed- Nina: "Awe...come on..."

-annoyed- Me:" Nina, that's enough."

-nervous- Nina: "Sorry."

Me:"There's no reason to make trouble out of nothing."

Eventually we made it home, Phoebe was on the couch, watching tv while holding Charley, who was wrapped up in a blanket and very sleepy.

-cheerfully- Phoebe: "Oh good you're home."

-lovingly-Me: "Hey baby girl."

I gave her a kiss.

-playfully- Me: "Hello son, up already from your nap?"

Charley slowly turned his head towards me, but didn't say anything.

-quietely- Phoebe: "-giggles-, He just woke up crying about two minutes ago, I'm trying to get him to fall asleep again, so please talk quietly."

-quietely- Me: "Oh, ok."

-quietely- Phoebe: "So how did it go?"

Me: "Well we got you some papers to read."

Phoebe:"and?"

-quietely- Me: "Well we thought it would be best to visit all three of the schools in order to make a more informed decision."

-quietely- Phoebe: "Oh, ok that sounds like a good idea."

-quietely-Nina: "Mommy did you make lunch yet?"

-quietely-Phoebe: "No, not yet, sorry, I was waiting for you to get home, in case you stopped to get something in town."

-quietely- Nina: "awe.."

-sadly- Nina: "Daddy didn't want to stop."

-quietely- Me: "Sweetheart, you'll get something to eat ok? Don't worry."

-quietely- Nina:"I want a hamburger."

-quietely- Phoebe: "Ok sweety, I'll make you one in a little bit."

-quietely- Phoebe: "Just be patient Nina."

-quietely- Phoebe: "I need to get your baby brother to go back to sleep first."

-quietely- Nina: "-sighs-, oooooh ok..."

-quietely- Me: "I could make lunch if you want baby girl."

-quietely- Phoebe: "No it's allright honey, I got it."

Phoebe:"You can make dinner tonight."

-quietely- Me: "Ok, if you insist."

-quietely- Nina: "Hi Charley."

Charley looked over at her, and made a very subtle smile, before looking away.

-quietely-Phoebe: "Don't bother him too much Nina, I need him to fall asleep."

-quietely-Nina: "Sorry."

Me: "Here Nina, go set these papers on the table so your mother can read them later."

Nina: "ok."

We spent the next few minutes quietly watching tv, until Charley fell asleep again, allowing Phoebe to to take him back upstairs to his crib so she could start making lunch for Nina.

Anyway about 20 minutes later we all had lunch together in the dining room, and then we watched tv for another half hour or so until Charley woke up again.

Me: "You hear that?"

Phoebe: "I hear him."

Phoebe: "Why don't you go get him this time?"

Me: "Allright."

I went upstairs to get Charley out of his crib, just like this morning, he calmed down quickly after he saw me, as he wasn't really upset, he was just crying to get someone's attention. I found him standing up this time, clinging tightly to the railing of his crib for balance. His legs were a bit weak yet, so he had trouble standing on his own.

Me: "Awe...hey little guy, you trying to stand up again?"

-somewhat anxiously- Charley: "Cawey... wa...holb?.?."

-playfully- Me: "Of course."

-After carrying him downstairs-

Me: "Phoebe where'd you go?"

Phoebe: "I'm in here Cj, put Charley in his high chair."

Me: "Ok."

I brought him into the dining room. Phoebe had already gotten him something to eat.

Phoebe: "Here Charley, I got you some lunch."

-unsure- Charley: "Ancays?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Mhm, just for you."

They were leftovers from breakfast, but he didn't mind.

-playfully- Phoebe: "Eat up Charley."

-playfully- Phoebe: "We might take you back outside again later, so you need to be ready."

Phoebe: "I'll go get you some milk."

I sat down across from him.

-unsure- Me: "Where'd Nina go?"

-from the kitchen- Phoebe: "She went to watch her tv."

Me: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe: "Do you think we can take him out to practice again after he's done eating?"

Me: "I don't see why not."

Me: "As long as he's ok with it."

Phoebe: "I think he'll be fine."

She came back into the dining room and set a bottle of milk in front of him.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Won't you Charley?"

-seemingly unsure- Charley: "Ralts ralllts... raltssss?...?."

Phoebe sat next to me at the table, while Charley continued to eat.

Me:"Whatcha thinking about baby girl?"

Phoebe: "Nina said you saw Marconi today?"

Me: "Oh don't worry about it."

Me:"It will be allright."

Phoebe: "You know it's only a matter of time before we get called onto another mission."

Me: "I know."

Phoebe: "Melissa told me this morning that she has something planned for us."

Phoebe: "But we have to wait a few more days."

Me:"What does she have planned?"

Phoebe: "I'm not really sure, but she said it had something to do with the portals, and more new zones and everything."

Me:"New zones?"

Phoebe: "Mhm, they're making new worlds with the portals, like the games, but much more advanced."

Me: "Ok, sounds weird."

Phoebe: "Mhm, but atleast it might be fun to explore a new place."

Me: "Hopefully."

Me: "As long as there isn't square grass and people that can only say one line."

Phoebe: "Hehe, yep."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey luh mawa, Cawey luh dahwy."

-enamored- Phoebe: "hehe, you love both of us?"

Phoebe: "That's good."

Me: "hehe."

Phoebe: "We love you too Charley."

Charley: "Cawey wa wartorwol."

Phoebe:"You want your wartortle toy?"

Phoebe: "Ok, I'll go get it."

She briefly went into the living room to get his wartortle doll.

Phoebe: "Here you go."

-sternly- Phoebe :"Now don't throw it on the floor Charley, I won't give it back to you."

Charley: "Watorwol wa ancays."

Charley: "Watorwol huhwy."

Phoebe: "-giggles-, he's hungry?"

Charley tried to feed some of his pancake to the doll.

-unsure- Charley: "Wartorwol luh ancays, he geh awl ancays."

Phoebe: "He gets all of the pancakes?"

-jokingly- Phoebe: "I made that pancake for you Charley, not your wartortle doll."

-concerned- Phoebe :"Aren't you hungry sweety? You haven't had anything to eat since breakfast."

-unsure- Charley :"Cawey huhwy?"

Phoebe: "Then,you should eat your pancake silly, not your toy."

Phoebe: "Your wartortle isn't hungry Charley, he wants you to eat your pancake."

-unsure- Charley :"Cawey ea ancay?"

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Eventually Phoebe managed to get him to continue eating.

After Phoebe decided that he had enough to eat, we brought him outside again.

Me: "Should we go out to the field again or?"

Phoebe: "Um, no, let's just stay in the yard for now, let's see how well he does out here when he can see me."

Phoebe: "We'll lower the difficulty for him, so he'll get used to teleporting enough that he'll be able to come to me just based on hearing alone when we take him out to the field."

Me:"Ok."

We headed into the backyard, and carefully set Charley down, Phoebe slipped off his bracelet, and then we walked away.

-unsure- Charley: "Mawa wagowee?"

Phoebe: "Don't worry Charley, I'm staying right here."

She was about ten feet away from him, in plain sight.

-worried- Charley: "Cawey wa mawa."

Phoebe: "Well then you'll have to come to me silly."

Charley teleported a little bit closer to her.

Phoebe: "There you go, you're a little closer, keep going."

He kept teleporting towards her, he seemed to be doing better now that he could see where she was. Eventually he got close enough to her that she could pick him up.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Yayyy Charley, you made it."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Phoebe: "-giggles, you made it."

Phoebe: "Now, let's see if you can make it to daddy."

She set him back down on the ground, facing me.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Go to daddy."

Charley: "Dahwy?"

Phoebe: "mhm."

Phoebe: "He's over there, you see him?"

Charley: "Cawey see."

Phoebe: " Good, now go over to him."

Me:"I'm over here Charley, come on don't be scared."

We did this for a few minutes, just sending him back and forth between us.

Until Charley got upset once again.

-upset- Charley: "Mawa..."

Me: "What now?"

Phoebe: "Oh Cj, it's allright."

She went over to pick him up.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Your head hurts again doesn't it?"

-upset- Charley: "heh...hurrr."

Phoebe: "Ok, we'll go back inside then."

Me: "That does go away after awhile doesn't it?"

We started to head to the front door.

Phoebe: "Yeah, he'll get stronger as he grows."

Phoebe: "He'll grow out of it really fast, don't worry."

Phoebe: "It's just that he doesn't have much power yet, and his mind is still growing a little bit, so he'll be prone to headaches for a little while."

Phoebe: " But I think tomorrow, if we work with him in the yard one more time, maybe he'll be ready to try it out in the field again."

Me: "Yeah, I think so too."

Phoebe: "But now he just needs to take a break again."

Phoebe: "Don't you Charley?"

We entered the house, and she gave Charley some more medicine for his head, just like this morning. Except this time we tried to keep Charley awake, because if he took a nap now he wouldn't sleep well tonight. So he was going to be very drousy for the next few hours. Eventually Nina came out of her room.

Nina: "Can I play outside with my pokemon again?"

Phoebe: "Yeah go ahead."

Phoebe: "We might as well let our pokemon out too."

Me: "Yeah, it is a nice day."

We took a moment to let most of our pokemon out, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon outside, watching them play, while Phoebe held Charley and tried to keep him happy and awake.

Eventually the day came to an end.

-that night in bed-

Me: "Hey baby girl?"

Phoebe: "mhm?"

Me: "Are you getting bored with this?"

Phoebe: "WIth what?"

Me: "The lack of missions we've had recently."

Phoebe: "Yeah, a little bit."

Phoebe: "But don't worry, we'll get another one soon."

Phoebe: "And this gives us a chance to work with Charley."

Me: "I guess so."

Phoebe: "Sometimes you just have to deal with normal, boring normality Cj."

Me: "I don't know."

Me: "-sighs-, Goodnight baby girl."

Phoebe: "Goodnight."

We kissed.

And eventually fell asleep.

Nothing else of interest happened until we brought Charley outside to practice again the next day, after the usual morning routine.

We let him practice in the backyard until he got tired again, then Phoebe gave him some medicine, and we all headed into town to visit potential schools with Nina. We went to Goldenrod Central High first, since it was closest. The parking lot was nearly empty, which was strange for a school in the middle of a large city, the school was very large, a lot larger than the highschool I went to, it was a 3 story L shaped brick building. We went up to the main entrance, which was at one of the ends of the "L", the door was locked but, we were able to get the attention of one of the staff members.

unknown man: "Can I help you?"

Phoebe: "We just wanted to see the school, we were thinking about enrolling our daughter next year."

unknown man: "Oh, ok."

unknown man: "She's a gardevoir?"

Phoebe: "Is that ok?"

unknown man: "Yeah it's allright, come in."

unknown man: "You'll have to wait in the office for a little bit, I need to call the principal over, he usually gives the tours, but he isn't here right now."

Phoebe: "Ok, that's fine."

So he led us inside, and called the principal over, he wasn't at the school when we got there, and then we waited in the office for the principal, and then the principal gave us a tour of the school, while the other guy went back to his janitorial duties. Charley was with us the whole time, although he was very tired, and a little fussy.

The principal showed us the indoor gym, as well as the pokemon battling arena, which was about the same size as the gym, but with an easilly maintained dirt floor.

After we finished touring that school, we headed to Goldenrod West, by the time we got there, Charley had fallen asleep in the back of the car, so I got out by myself to see if we could get inside, as Phoebe didn't want to wake him.

Of course, the doors were locked, but there wasn't anyone inside to let us in either, so we went back to the car and headed to Oceanview. This gave Charley got some time to sleep while we drove to the other side of the city. It was about an hour drive, with lots of traffic, so by the time we got there he was well rested and it was almost lunch time.

The school looked just as good as it did in the pictures, it was a modern styled, 2 story building that was just a few blocks away from a beach.

As we pulled into the lot, Phoebe gently woke Charley up, and we headed up to the front door. Once again we got somebody inside to let us in.

unknown woman: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Phoebe: "Well, we were wondering if we could take a tour of your school, we're thinking about enrolling our daughter in highschool next year."

unknown woman: "Oh, ok."

-kindly- Phoebe: "This is her."

-shyly- Nina: "Um...hi."

unknown woman: "Wait a minute..."

unknown woman: "You're Cj and Phoebe aren't you?"

-awkwardly- Me: "ehehe..."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, you got us."

Unknown woman: "Well come in."

Unknown woman: "And that makes you Nina doesn't it?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Unknown woman: "Well then, welcome to our school."

Unknown woman: "Follow me."

-shyly- Nina: "Are you the principal?"

Unknown woman: "I'm the vice principal, the principal is on vacation with his family right now."

Nina: "Ok."

-after touring the building-

The building was just as impressive on the inside as it was on the outside. To add to this, it was just slightly more expensive then the other schools, only about 100 dollars more per year. It seemed to be alot nicer then Goldenrod Central, even if it was a bit smaller.

Vice Principal: "I believe we have the finest school in Goldenrod City."

Vice Principal:" We have the highest graduation rate in the city, and we also have the most modern facility."

Phoebe:"Sounds impressive."

Vice Principal: "So now that you've seen everything, do you have any questions?"

Phoebe: "Not really, do you Cj?"

Me:Nope."

Vice Principal: "Well I have a few for you then."

Phoebe: "Go ahead."

Vice Principal: "If you choose to enroll her here, what grade are you planning to enroll her in?"

Phoebe: "9th grade."

Vice Principal:"Has she ever been to school before?"

Phoebe: "No, but she can learn quickly, she's good with math, but she doesn't know much about history."

Vice Principal: "What about reading?"

Me: "She can read, I don't think I've ever seen her write."

Phoebe: "Yeah, me neither."

Nina: "I can try."

Vice Principal: "Well, To be honest, we've never had a gardevoir as a student before."

Vice Principal:" So I'm not really sure where to begin, or what classes would be appropriate for her."

Vice Principal:"But if you decide to enroll here, I guess we can figure that out later."

-cheerfully- Phoebe: "That's allright."

Nina: "Can't I just take all the classes?"

Phoebe: "Sweety, it doesn't work that way, you can only take so many classes a year."

Nina: "Oh."

Nina:"Will I be able to make friends?"

Vice Principal: "Of course."

Nina:"How do I get money for the vending machines?"

-sternly- Me: "Nina."

Nina:"Can I drive here on my own?"

Me: "Not until you get your license."

Nina: "Awe."

Vice Principal: "So where do you live?"

Nina: "In the other world, across the portal."

Vice Principal: "So you can't ride the bus then either."

Nina: "Nope."

Phoebe: "We'll figure it out later sweety."

-grumpily- Charley: "Cawey wa dow!"

Phoebe: "Well, we need to get going, Charley's starting to get a little fussy, thankyou for showing us around."

Vice Principal: "No Problem."

Vice Principal: "Hope to see you soon."

Phoebe: "We'll see."

Vice Principal: " My number is on the website, call me when you've made your decision."

Phoebe:"Ok."

We left the school, and then headed home, Charley was in a bad mood because he didn't want to sit still anymore. By the time we got to the portal facility he was throwing a fit.

-upset- Charley: "Cawey no wa, Cawey wa dow!"

-sternly- Phoebe: "Charley you'll have to wait until we get home."

-upset, loudly- Charley: "CAWEY WA DOW!"

Nina was watching tv, trying to drown him out with her headphones, unfortunately Phoebe and I didn't have that option.

So Charley continued to squirm around, trying in vain to get out of his car seat, as we couldn't do anything about it until we got home. It quickly became one of those times that Phoebe just couldn't calm him down, as Charley didn't understand why he couldn't just get out of his carseat. Even after we got home, he continued to cry so we ended up putting him in his crib until he finally calmed down.

-in the living room, after Charley finally stopped crying-

-annoyed- Me: "Is that it?"

-annoyed- Phoebe: "I think he's done."

We headed up to his room.

-somewhat sadly- Phoebe: "Charley are you done crying?"

He still had tears running down his eyes, but atleast he stopped screaming.

-sadly- Charley: "Mawa..."

She picked him up and carried him downstairs. Meanwhile, Nina was playing with her pokemon outside, extremely annoyed with Charley's crying and not wanting to be anywhere near him.. which was completely understandable.

It took awhile, but Charley eventually settled down, and began to play with his toys on the floor.

-several minutes later-

Phoebe: "Looks like he's back to normal now."

Me: "Finally."

-concerned- Phoebe: "Human babies grow out of that don't they?"

Me: "Yeah, it just takes some time."

Phoebe: "Good."

Phoebe: "So, what do you think Cj, should we send Nina to oceanview?"

Me :"If we can afford it, it seemed nicer than the other place."

Me: "And that principal lady knew who we were."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Nobody at Goldenrod Central recognized us.

Phoebe: "I think Nina would be better off going there."

Me: "Me too."

Phoebe: "So I'll see what it takes to get her enrolled tomorrow."

Me: "Ok."

Me: "Are we going to work with Charley again this afternoon?"

Phoebe: "No, not today, he's a little grumpy right now, and I don't want him to throw another tantrum."

Me: "Ok, sounds good."

Me:"So let's see here."

Me:" Can I make lunch today?"

Phoebe:"Sure."

We were planning to stop in Goldenrod, but because Charley wouldn't stop crying we headed home instead.

Me:"So what do you want for lunch baby girl?"

Phoebe:"Berry salad will be fine."

Me:"Ok I'll see what I can do."

-playfully- Phoebe: "It better be good."

Me: "I'll try."

-playfully- Phoebe: "You don't know how to make salad do you?"

Me: "I can try."

Phoebe: "-sighs-."

-kindly- Phoebe:"Why don't you just stay out here and watch Charley? I'll make lunch."

Me: "Because I just want to help out."

Phoebe: "You are helping silly."

Phoebe: "You're watching Charley for me so I can make lunch."

Me: "-sighs-, Allright, if that's what you want."

Phoebe:"Mhm."

She headed into the kitchen...

Anyway, the rest of the day went by without anything interesting happening.

Phoebe and I were both starting to get bored, we had so much time, and so little to do.

-in bed, that night-

Me:"-sighs-, baby girl, are you sure we're going to get another mission? I mean it has been weeks, I hate to say it, but I miss fighting evil with you."

Phoebe: "I miss it too."

Me:"I mean there has to be something out there."

Phoebe: "That's true."

Phoebe: "But we can't just go looking for it, because Charley needs us."

Me: "Yeah, you're right."

Phoebe: "Look Cj, once summer is over in a few weeks, Nina will be out of the house for most of the day, and Charley will still have to take naps, so we'll have some more time together."

Me: "Yeah, I guess so."

Phoebe: "We just have to wait it out until then."

Me: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "And besides, I told you yesterday, Melissa is planning something."

Me: " I know."

She kissed me on the cheek.

Phoebe: "So just wait Cj, things will get better."

We spent the next three days working with Charley and getting Nina ready to go to school.

On the third day, after our usual morning routine, we brought Charley out to the field once again. And once again Phoebe tried to get him to come to her, with only her voice to guide him. Unlike he had done five days ago, Charley went straight towards her, ending up right next to her.

Phoebe: "Oh...look at you."

She picked him up.

Phoebe: "You made it Charley, you finally made it!"

Me: "Good job little guy."

-happily- Charley: "Mawa!"

We had a brief family hug.

Me: "So are you going to put his bracelet back on ?"

Phoebe: "Yeah, he'll still need it for a little while, until he learns how not to teleport."

Me: "What?"

Phoebe: "Well now that he knows how to use it, he needs to know how to stop using it."

Phoebe: "Otherwise he'll use it all the time and wear himself out."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "But that's easier to teach, we just let him go out in the yard, and he'll teleport until he gets tired and he'll learn how to stop eventually."

Me:" hehe ok."

By the end of the month, Charley had learned how to teleport quite well, to the point where he no longer needed his bracelet. He still didn't know how to walk though, and not long after that, Nina's birthday arrived, on the first day of August. Unfortunately, neither me or Phoebe remembered this until that morning.

-that morning-

Phoebe and I had woken up, and were now just snuggling together for a few minutes like we always did, until...

-sadly- Phoebe: "Oh no ..."

Me: "Huh? What?"

Me: "What's wrong."

Phoebe: "I just remembered."

Phoebe: "It's Nina's birthday today."

-realizing- Me: "Oh...crap, you're right."

Me: "What now?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

Me:" I think I might have an idea."

Phoebe:" What?"

Me: "You stay here and keep her occupied, I'll take Charley and go get her some presents."

Phoebe: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "Do you even know what she wants?"

Me: "Do you?"

Phoebe: "Um..."

Phoebe: "She never did tell us did she?"

-unsure- Me: "Maybe she did and you forgot?"

-somewhat annoyed- Phoebe: "Oh yeah, this is all my fault."

Me: "Well you keep saying you usually don't forget things."

Phoebe:"Well you could remember something for once."

Me: "I do remember things, it's just ..."

Me:"-sighs-, why are we fighting about this?"

-worried- Phoebe:" I don't know, I just feel bad."

Me: "Oh baby girl it's ok."

Me: "Just keep her occupied, make her a cake or something."

-unsure- Phoebe:" What kind?"

Me: "Any will do, as long as she likes it."

Phoebe:" Ok."

I kissed her.

Me: "We'll figure this out, don't worry."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, I hope so."

-softly- Phoebe: "Can we shower together this morning?"

Me: "Of course sweety."

Phoebe: "Go get in."

Me: "Ok."

I got up, got some clothes and went to the shower, she joined me a few minutes later. In the shower we continued to speak while holding eachother close.

Phoebe:"So what are you going to get for her?"

Me: "I don't know."

Me:"How much do you think we should spend?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

Phoebe: "but, I'll give you 300 dollars I guess."

Me: "I probably won't need that much, but ok."

Phoebe: "But what should we get her?"

Me: "I'll think of something don't worry."

Me: "I'll take Charley with me too, so you don't have to worry about him."

Phoebe: "You know I'll still worry."

Me: "I know."

I kissed her, and we made out for a minute or so before getting out of the shower.

Anyway, after we got dressed, she headed downstairs, while I went over to Charley's room to see if he was awake yet, if he was I could leave before Nina even woke up.

I quietely opened the door and snuck over to his crib, his eyes were open and he was squirming around.

-cutely- Charley: "Gamawee..dahwy."

Me: "Hehehe, goodmorning Charley."

He seemed to be in a good mood today.

I carefully picked him up and brought him downstairs. Phoebe was in the kitchen, looking around for stuff to make cakes with.

-cutely- Charley: "Gamawee..mawa."

-enamored- Phoebe: "Awwwe...goodmorning sweety."

-concerned- Phoebe: "Did daddy wake you up?"

Me: "No he was already awake."

Phoebe: "Oh...ok."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Phoebe: "-giggles-."

Me: "I guess I should get going."

Phoebe: "Ok."

Me: "You working on a cake?"

Phoebe: "I'm trying."

Me: "Do you have everything you need?"

Phoebe: "Um...I think so."

Me: "Ok."

I kissed her on the cheek.

Me: "See you in a little bit."

Phoebe: "Ok."

-playfully- Me: "Come on Charley."

I brought Charley to the car and put him in his car seat.

Phoebe: "Cj wait up."

I looked back to see Phoebe standing by the door.

Phoebe: "Don't you need money?"

Me: "Oh..hehe..right."

I finished strapping Charley into his seat, then I went back up to the porch to get some money from Phoebe.

Phoebe: "Here you go."

Me: "I still think 300 is a little much."

Phoebe: "Oh don't worry about it, we have lots of money."

Me: "I guess..."

She kissed me.

-imitating me- Phoebe: "See you in a little bit."

Me: "hehe, yeah, see you."

Phoebe: "Love you."

Me: "Love you too baby girl."

I got in the car, while she went back inside.

-playfully- Me: "Ok Charley you ready to go?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey wa teewee?"

He pointed at the small tv in front of him.

Me: "Just be patient son."

I pulled out of the driveway, turned Charley's tv on for him, and started heading to Slabtown.

Eventually we made it to the Goldenrod department store, I got a cart, set Charley inside it, and made my way to the toy store. The only problem with having a cart, is that it was difficult to get it on the elevator. The department store were very strict with their carts, they always had to be returned to the ground floor lobby by the customer, they were reserved almost exclusively for people with small children, or people who were buying a lot of things, and on top of that, they didn't have that many of them, maybe just twenty or so, just enough so that everyone that needed one could have one...most of the time.

Anyway, I got lucky and there wasn't anyone on the elevator, so I got up to the floor that the toy store was on relatively quickly. Then I started to think about what Nina might want. She didn't seem to care for jewelry that much, she almost never wore that ring I got her awhile ago, but she also seemed to be outgrowing her toys. She rarely played with them anymore, unless she was playing with Charley, although she still played with the trains downstairs on occasion. She seemed to spend most of her freetime outside with her pokemon, so maybe my best luck was actually in the trainer's market.

Well, that being we looked around in the toy store first, just to see what was there.

The many colorful toys never failed to get Charley's attention. Of course he frequently reached out of the cart to try to grab them.

Charley: "Cawey wa."

Me:" Oh Charley, don't worry, your birthday is just two months away."

Me:"Let's try to find something for your sister."

While we were walking through the aisle, he managed to grab a cheep lotad plush toy off the shelf while I wasn't looking, I noticed it right away, but I decided to let him keep it, since it didn't cost much and it seemed to make him happy.

There wasn't much at the toy store that really caught my eye, so I bought the plush Charley picked out and headed over to the hobby store that was on the same floor.

I looked at the various model trains for a little bit, before moving on to the video game store, which was also on the same floor. The latest console was on sale, of course. For 300 dollars, it came with two controllers and some fps game I wasn't familiar with, but probably played exactly like call of duty, as there isn't too many variations you can have of an fps game.

There was also the latest version of car simulator, and they were advertising a new expansion that included 45 cars from earth. This surprised me, as the last version I saw only had cars from this world, how they managed to program that many cars, to that level of detail, in such short of a time span, seemed remarkable, to say the least. Anyway, after looking through the store, I found I could buy the console used, for 200, and then I'd have enough to buy the game as well, but I wasn't sure if Nina would appreciate it.

Anyway I shopped around for a little bit, looking through various stores, trying to find something Nina would like. Charley wasn't being difficult, he was too distracted by his new toy.

After awhile I returned to the hobby store, and looked at a particular plane.

This plane was designed specifically for rotoms, it was less of a model, more of a miniature weapons platform. The main body and wings were made of aluminum, with steel alloy control surfaces, and two copper pieces on the wings, which would allow a rotom to use electric attacks, just for looks they resembled externally mounted missiles on a fighter jet.

Their were two engines that were electric, ducted, steel bladed fans that were very well encased inside the main wing. Obviously, without a rotom, they would not be powerful enough to allow the aircraft to fly. With all the metal involved in it's construction, the tiny aircraft weighed almost 10 lbs. Which doesn't seem that impressive, until you realize that a normal rc plane of that size would probably weigh alot less than 1lb. In addition to boosting rotom's electric attacks, the leading wing had a slight edge to it as well, enough to cause serious injury at speed, but not sharp enough to accidently cut yourself with while handling it.

Devices constructed for rotoms to use in battle had their own list of regulations and what not, mostly concerning the amount of firepower rotom was allowed to have. Of course, in official league regulations, the use of guns and other ridiculously dangerous weapons were strictly forbidden, as the pokemon were expected to rely on their own abilities to win, not what weapons its trainer buys for it. Violation of said rules would result in instant disqualification from the league, in addition to possible jailtime, and or banishment from competing all together. Official league battles consisted of the league tournament, any battle against the elites, and any battle that takes place in an official pokemon gym, whether it's against the leader or not, as some gyms have their own ranking systems for challengers. Most pokemon centers and training areas adopted league rules as well.

The plane was selling for 250, which was a somewhat fair price, it wasn't built to fly on it's own, and lacked a remote, as well as an Rc chip. It seemed to be the only one in the store at the moment, which made sense, as rotoms weren't very common in the Johto region.

I remembered promising to get Nina a plane awhile ago when we were in Unova, and we just never got around to it. She hadn't reminded us about it either, so I wondered if she forgot. She spent alot of time with her rotom, so I knew she would be interested in this. I took a few minutes to think about it...I knew if I didn't return home with something good, both Phoebe and Nina would be upset with me.

Charley: "Dahwy?"

Me: "Yes?"

Charley: "Cawey wa teewee."

Me: "Hehe, there's no tv in here Charley."

Me: "Here, just look at all the toy planes."

Me: "I might get this one for Nina."

Charley: "Newa?"

Me: "Mhm."

-cutely, matter of factly- Charley: "Cawey luh Newa."

Me: "I know you do."

-playfully- Me: "What do you think? Should we get her this plane?, or should we get her the video game console?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Me: "I thought you'd say that."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey see plays.."

-unsure- Me: "You see the planes?"

I texted Phoebe, just to check to make sure she was okay with spending that much money, I also sent her a picture of the plane. She texted me back saying Nina would love it and I should go ahead and purchase it and come home quickly because she was starting to miss both me and Charley.

So, I finally decided to buy it, as Charley seemed to be getting a little bored, and I wasn't sure how much longer he would put up with being carted around. It was a bit expensive, but Nina was a little behind on birthday gifts. After buying the plane I also bought her a card at yet another shop, then I got a can of frosting and some candles for the cake Phoebe was making, as I didn't think we had any, after that I left the department store and headed home. I left the store with only a measly two dollars left, but because I contacted Phoebe before buying, I knew she wouldn't mind.

Anyway, I arrived home at about 45 minutes later, it was now about noon, we had been gone for almost 2 hours. When I pulled into the drive, Nina was outside playing with her pokemon, so I left her gift in the trunk of the car, and headed inside, taking Charley with me of course.

I found Phoebe in the kitchen, still trying to make a cake.

Phoebe: "Oh good you're home."

She gave me a hug, and then kissed both of us on the cheek.

Charley: "Mawa."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Oh Charley, how are you?"

-curious- Phoebe:" Is that a new toy?"

Phoebe: "It looks like a lotad."

Me: "He pulled it off the shelf, and well, it was cheep and it kept him quiet."

Phoebe: "Oh ok, that's fine."

Me: "Making any progress on the cake?"

Phoebe:"Yeah, a little bit."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "I couldn't find a recipe for birthday cakes."

Phoebe: "But I found this one for chocolate cake."

Phoebe: "And I have it in the oven now."

Me: "Ok, sounds fine."

Me: "There really isn't a set type of birthday cake anyway."

Phoebe: "Oh, ok."

Phoebe: "I think we got lucky Cj."

-unsure- Me: "What?"

Phoebe: "Nina doesn't seem to remember that it's her birthday either, she hasn't said anything about it yet."

-somewhat relieved- Me: "Oh..hehe...well that's good news."

Phoebe: "Anyway why don't you go set Charley in his high chair? I'll get him something to eat, he should be complaining that he's hungry anytime now."

Me: "Ok, sure."

I kissed her on the cheek.

-softly- Me: "We're doing fine, don't worry."

Phoebe: "I'll try."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey huhwy?"

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa! Cawey huhwy!"

-playfully- Phoebe: "-giggles- See told you. "

Me: "Yep..."

-cutely- Charley:"Mawa, Cawey wa foo."

-playfully- Me: "You want food?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "-giggles-"

-playfully- Phoebe: "I'll get you something to eat in a little bit Charley, I need a few minutes to clean up first ok?"

She kissed him on the head.

Then I went into the dining room and set Charley in his high chair, and tried to keep him entertained until Phoebe could get him something to eat. Like many other days, she seemed to insist on having total control of the kitchen. I didn't mind this too much, although sometimes I liked to cook too.

After she fed Charley some baby food, we watched tv together for just a few minutes until Phoebe had to pull the cake out of the oven.

Phoebe: "So you think it looks ok?"

Me: "Eh, looks like chocolate cake to me."

Me: "Do you have any frosting for it?"

Phoebe: "Um...no..."

-somewhat distressed- Phoebe: "Awe..."

Phoebe:"Can we eat it without the frosting?"

Me: "It's allright baby girl, I knew we didn't have any so I got you some."

-excitedly- Phoebe: "You did?"

Me: "Yeah, it's in the car, just a sec."

I went to the car, grabbed the can of frosting I bought earlier, and came in, it was really warm now, from being in the car. Fortunately Nina was playing in the backyard now so she didn't see me open the trunk.

Phoebe: "It's so warm..."

Me: "Yeah, the car got hot, it should still be fine."

Phoebe: "Ok."

Me: "I also got some candles..."

-unsure- Phoebe: "Um...ok..."

She seemed kind of confused.

Me: "You put them in the cake and light them up, and then she's supposed to blow them out."

-realizing- Phoebe:" Oh, like on tv."

Me: "Right."

Me: "You got it from here?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Mhm."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Get out and go back to watching Charley."

She set the can down and tried to push me out of the kitchen.

Me: "Ok ok..."

-sincerely- Me:"-sighs- I love you."

-sincerely- Phoebe: "I love you."

-sternly, but playfully- Phoebe: "Now go, before Charley wonders away from the tv."

Me: "Ok."

I went back to the living room, while she began to finish the cake. After she was done she brought it out and set it on the table.

Phoebe: "I'm going to go get Nina."

Me: "-sighs-, Allright."

-playfully- Me: "Come on Charley."

I picked him up, brought him back into the dining room, and set him in his high chair again, while Phoebe went outside to get Nina.

-confused- Charley: "Dawhy, Cawey no huhwy..."

Me: "I know, but it's your sister's birthday."

Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Me: "Just wait little guy, you'll see."

Me: "Your birthday is comming up soon too."

Phoebe came back with Nina about two minutes later, as it took a little while for her to find and return all her pokemon.

When they came into the dining room, Phoebe was covering her eyes, so she couldn't see.

-playfully- Phoebe: "Ok sweety? Are you ready?"

-unsure, but curious- Nina: "What is it mommy?"

Nina: "Let me see."

Phoebe: "Ok sweety."

She uncovered her eyes...

-awkwardly, unsure- Nina: "What is it?"

Phoebe: "Happy birthday sweety, I made you a cake."

Nina: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe:"And your father bought you a present."

Nina: "He did?"

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Nina: "Where is it?"

Phoebe: "You can have it after cake ok?"

Nina: "Ok."

Nina: "What's with all the candles?"

Phoebe: "Your father says you're supposed to blow them all out...like on tv."

Nina:"Oh...ok."

She quickly blew out all the candles.

Nina :"Now what?"

Nina: "Can I eat the candles?"

Phoebe: "No, you're not supposed to eat the candles."

Me: "Yeah you just take them out of the cake."

Nina: "Oh...ok."

-motherly- Phoebe: "You shouldn't eat the entire cake either, it's bad for you."

Nina: "I know."

We cut the cake up, and had a very late cake lunch.

The cake was actually pretty good, Phoebe made it very well, and everyone was pleased.

After that we wrapped what was left of the cake up and put it in the kitchen for later, then Nina waited in the dining room with the rest of the family while I went back out to the car to get her present.

-in the dining room-

Nina: "What is it mom?"

Phoebe: "Sweety, it's a surprise, I can't tell you, you'll just have to wait until your father comes back in."

I just came in through the front door.

Phoebe: "But don't worry, I think you'll like it."

-from the living room- Me: "I hope she does, it was expensive."

Me: "I barely had any money left."

-teasingly- Phoebe: " I told you 300 was ok."

-lovingly- Me: "Not now Pheebles."

The large, awkward box was a bit difficult to carry, it wasn't very heavy, just awkward.

I struggled to get it into the dining room, and then I slid it onto the table. Phoebe was covering Nina's eyes again.

Phoebe: "Ok sweety you ready?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "Happy birthday."

She let go.

-excited- Nina: "Wow...it's..."

Nina: "Some type of plane?"

-realizing- Nina: "For my rotom!"

Me: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "It's specially designed for rotoms sweety."

Phoebe: "I'm sure he will like it too."

Nina:"Thankyou...so much."

Phoebe: "You're welcome sweety."

Phoebe: "Although it was your father's idea, you should be thanking him."

Nina: "Thankyou daddy."

Me: "Don't mention it sweetheart."

Me: "Why don't we get it out of the box and see if it works?"

Nina: "Ok."

Me: "Just be careful with it though, don't let your rotom fly it into anything or it will tear something up."

Nina:"I won't."

Phoebe: "Ok then."

She got out a knife a started to cut through the little pieces of tape on one of the ends of the box.

A few minutes later we had it all out of the box, besides the plane itself, there was also a fairly large instructional booklet on how to train a rotom to use it, and even basic strategies and ideas for how to use it in battle. As well as the usual warranty and safety information.

Soon enough Nina carried it outside and let her rotom out. He immediately left the rc car he was possessing and hovered over to the plane.

-curious- rotom: "Rotom...ro...rotom..tom?"

Nina: "Go on, take control of it."

Nina: "Just be careful."

He seemed quite intrigued by the plane, believe it or not, even though he could control it, he didn't really know how to use it yet, as it was a bit more sophisticated than his car form.

He took control of the plane, tried to take off, only to pull up too high, which caused the heavy plane to stall, and faceplant into the ground.

Nina: "Oh no..."

Nina: "Are you ok Rotom?"

-shaken, but unhurt- Rotom: "Rotom, ro...rotom."

-disapointed- Nina: "Awe, it doesn't work."

Phoebe: "It works fine Nina, your rotom just needs to get used to it."

Nina: "How long will that take?"

Phoebe: "I don't know, just let him fly for a little bit."

-struggling- Rotom: "rotom..ro..rotom!"

Nina: "What's wrong?"

Me: "Hehe, I think he got stuck."

Nina: "Oh...don't worry rotom I'll help you."

Nina went over to him him get the plane unstuck.

Me: "Now rotom be careful this time, take it easy."

Me:"Don't pull up so hard or you'll crash again."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Yeah, don't crash into a building like Cj did once..."

-annoyed- Me: "Pheebles..."

Phoebe: "Well you did..."

Charley: "Dahwy cwass?"

-playfully- Me: "Charley..."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "-giggles- Yep.., a long time ago."

-tiredly- Charley: "Mawa...Cawey tiewo...Cawey wa beh..."

Phoebe: "Oh, you're tired now?"

Phoebe: "Well, I guess it is your naptime isn't it?"

Phoebe: "I'll be right back Cj."

Me: "Ok."

She kissed me on the cheek before taking Charley inside.

-curious- Nina: "You crashed a plane?"

Me: "-sighs-, it was one...one time... three years ago in Japan, and your mother has never let it go."

Nina:"Oh ok I remember now."

-confused- Me:"That was way before we met you."

Nina: "Yeah, but you told me that story before."

Me: "Oh...ok..."

Rotom: "Rotom ro..."

Nina: "Are you ready to try again?"

He had been idling around since she pulled him out, he seemed to be a little reluctant to try again, even though he didn't appear to be hurt by the crash.

-nervous- Rotom: "Rotom ro rotom..."

Nina: "You'll be fine, just be careful."

Rotom tried to take off again.

This time he made it up to about 8 ft, with the plane bobbing up and down unpredictably, as rotom was still having some difficulty controlling it, he flew in a somewhat straight line, and made it clear across the road and into a field on the other side, before trying to turn around, losing complete control and once again nose diving into the ground.

-frustrated- Rotom: "Rotom tom rotom...rotomm ro..rotommm..."

Nina: "You got stuck again?"

She helped him get unstuck, and then rotom tried to take off again almost immediately.

Nina: "Wait rotom, let me take you back up to the house!"

Rotom got back up into the air, barely avoiding a ditch along the side of the road, but now he was heading straight for the house. He banked to the right, and somehow managed to avoid it and level out, heading east, parralel to the road, gaining a bit of altitude over a corn field, before turning around, and comming back to the house, gaining even more altitude.

Nina: "He's flying."

Me:"Yeah, but he's going too high."

Me: "You better call him down."

Me:" Otherwise he'll get caught in the wind and probably end up crashing atleast a mile away from here."

As had been the fate of so many rc planes.

Nina: "Rotom come back down!"

Rotom didn't seem to hear her.

Me: "-sighs-, this isn't good."

Me: "I'm going to go get some of my pokemon, keep an eye on him."

Nina: "Ok."

Me: "Try using your telepathy to talk to him."

Nina: "I'll try."

I headed inside, and went to get my staraptor, and magnum, knowing rotom was probably going to get lost real soon.

When I came back out, rotom was already several hundred feet away from the house, and seemed to be going further.

Me: "Did your telepathy work?"

Nina:" No, he's too high up."

Rotom eventually got so far away we couldn't see him.

Me :"And there it goes..."

Nina: "What now?"

Me: "I don't know."

Me: "He went off in that direction, hopefully he'll crash at somepoint and then we can go find him."

Me: "Go get the box for that plane."

Nina: "Ok."

She went and got the box for me.

I let out Staraptor, and Cap'n'Magnum.

Me :"Ok buddy, you see this plane?"

I showed him the picture on the box.

Me: "It flew off in that direction, out of site."

Me: "I need you to fly over there, until you find it."

Me: " If you can't find it by sunset, just come back home."

He nodded, then took off, and headed the same direction the plane had gone.

Nina: "What if he doesn't find him?"

Me: "We're going to look too, don't worry."

Phoebe poked her head out of the front door.

-concerned- Phoebe: "What's going on?"

Nina: "Rotom got lost."

-concerned- Phoebe: "What?"

Me: "It's allright baby girl, I have it under control."

Me: "We're going to go look for him."

Phoebe: "Ok."

Phoebe:" I have to stay here with Charley though."

Me: "I know."

Me: "Come on Nina."

Me: "Take the box with you."

Nina: "Ok."

We got in the car, and headed down the road.

Nina:"I'm scared."

Me: "It's ok."

Me:" I just hope he realized how far away he was and crash landed."

We spent the next two hours searching for him, asking a few people who lived near where he may have passed if they've seen the plane, using the picture on the box for reference, eventually we came across somebody who said they saw it, and that it spiralled to the ground and crashed nearby. Fortunately, not much later, we saw staraptor circling around a field, apparently he had found it.

So we got out of the car and headed into the field, passed hundreds of corn plants, there were also a lot of bugs around, so making our way over to the plane was a somewhat hazardous experience.

It seemed like we had been walking for atleast twenty minutes until we finally came across a small clearing, something that should not exist in the middle of a corn field.

Nina: "I found it!"

Me: "Good..."

Nina: "Rotom, are you still in there?"

-weakly- Rotom:"Rro...rotommmmm..."

Staraptor saw us and landed nearby.

Rotom came out of the plane, he was tired, the plane's front wing seemed to be a bit bent, but, as it was aluminum, it wouldn't be too difficult to fix. Unfortunately, while crashing he managed to destroy several corn plants, but not enough to cause any serious harm.

Nina: "I tried to tell you not to fly so high, but you didn't hear me."

-weakly- Rotom: "Rotommmmmm."

Nina: "It's ok."

Nina:" Let's go back home you need some rest."

Me:"Goodjob staraptor."

I petted him a little bit before returning him.

Me: "Come on Nina, let's get back to the car, these bugs are trying to eat me."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina: "Rotom go get back in the plane, I'll carry you back to the car."

-weakly- Rotom: "Ro rotommmmm.."

Rotom got back in the plane, allowing Nina to carry him, since rotom's normal form was impossible to grasp.

We made it back home just before sunset, Phoebe was already making dinner, and Charley was playing around in his high chair, which Phoebe had moved into the kitchen so she could keep an eye on him.

-in the kitchen-

Nina: "Mommy we're home."

Phoebe: "Did you find rotom?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "That's good."

She was holding him in her arms, he was inside his rc car now, as the plane was damaged and needed to be repaired, since he left it while it was still damaged.

-concerned- Phoebe: "But why is he in the house?"

Nina:" He needs to rest."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, ok, just keep an eye on him."

Nina: "Ok."

Me:"What are you making?"

Phoebe:"Just some hamburgers, for dinner."

Me: "Ok, sounds fine."

Me: "I need to use a potion."

-concerned- Phoebe: "Why?"

-jokingly- Me: "These bugs tried to eat me."

Phoebe: "-giggles-, you know where they are Cj."

Me: "I know."

I kissed her on the cheek.

-upset- Cawey: "No dawhy, es Cawey mawa."

Phoebe: "Charley don't be silly."

I picked him up and gave him a hug.

Phoebe: "Awwwwe..."

-lovingly- Me: "How are you Charley?"

I held him for a bit before setting him back in his high chair.

Phoebe: "That was sweet..."

-motherly- Phoebe: "See Charley your father loves you too."

She hugged me.

-upset- Charley: "No mawa es cawey dawhy..."

Phoebe: "Charley now you're just being silly."

Cawey: "Cawey no seewee."

-playfully- Me: "Yes you are..."

Phoebe: "Cj."

-cutely- Cawey :"Cawey ses mawa an dahwhy es seewee."

Me: "Really?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Oh you little goofball."

Nina came into the kitchen.

Nina: "Dad?"

Me: "Yes?"

-concerned- Nina: "Can you fix the plane?"

Me: "-sighs-, I'll look at it tomorrow ok?, I can't make any promises."

-concerned- Phoebe:"It broke?"

Me: "It's just a bit bent up, I can probably fix it."

Phoebe: "Oh...ok, I hope so."

I went upstairs, and used some potion to get rid of all the annoying bug bites on my arms and legs, then I went back downstairs to watch tv until Phoebe called me into the dining room for dinner.

-at the table-

Phoebe: "Nina, where is rotom?"

Nina: "He's sleeping in my room."

Phoebe: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe:"Why don't you return him after dinner?"

Nina: "-sighs-, Ok."

Phoebe: "So Nina, what do you think about your birthday?"

Phoebe: "I know everything didn't go as planned, but..."

Nina: "It's allright mommy."

Nina: "You both did your best."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, actually sweety we almost forgot about it too."

Phoebe: "I'm sorry."

-quietely- Me: "You know you didn't have to tell her that."

Phoebe: "I know, but..."

Nina: "It's ok dad."

Nina: "I understand..."

Me: "If you say so."

Charley was trying to eat a hamburger for the first time, in the form of a tiny patty that Phoebe had cut into small pieces for him, she also gave him some mashed oran berrys as well, and a little spoon for him to try to use, though he obviously wasn't using it very well.

-lightheartedly concerned- Me: "Charley what are you doing?"

-concerned- Phoebe: "What?"

Me: "He's got that oran berry stuff all over his face."

-realizing- Nina: "-giggles ecstaticly-...he's a mess!"

Phoebe: "Let me see."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Awwwe...Charley..."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Silly boy, you're supposed to eat your food not wear it."

She got up and headed into the kitchen, returning with a towel to clean him up.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "-sighs-, ooooooh I have to take a picture first, he's just so cute."

Me: "Ok."

-cutely- Charley: " Mawa, Cawey awl kwee... mawa no kwee Cawey."

Phoebe: "-giggles- No you're not all clean."

She took a picture of him with her phone, before trying to clean him up.

Like most small infants, he didn't like getting his face cleaned. Also like most small infants this wasn't the first time he made a mess of himself, though there wasn't much we could do to stop him, it was just one of those things he'd have to learn on his own, as he was just beginning to learn how to use a spoon.

-upset- Charley: "Mawa cawey no wa!"

-sternly- Phoebe: "Settle down."

She gently cleaned him up, and somehow kept him from throwing a fit.

Phoebe: "There you go, now you're all clean."

Charley: "Cawey awl kwee?"

Phoebe: "Mhm."

-unsure- Charley :"Cawey seewee?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Yes you're very silly...getting your food all over your face."

-upset- Charley: "Cawey no wabee seewee."

Phoebe: "Ohhh Charley everyone is silly sometimes."

Phoebe: "If nobody was ever silly, everything would be boring."

Me: "True."

-unsure- Charley :"Cawey dunno."

Me: "That just went right over his head."

Phoebe: "Yep."

Not that it was his fault, he was just a baby afterall.

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no seewee aymo."

-playfully- Me: "You're not silly anymore?"

-jokingly- Me: "Ok...whatever little guy..."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "-giggles-...what a little goofball..."

Me :"Yeah...but he's our goofball."

Phoebe: "mhmmmm..."

-lovingly- Nina: "And he's so cute..!"

Phoebe: "Mmhmmmmm."

After we finished eating, we stayed at the table to watch Charley for a while, before finally moving into the living room to watch tv.

-that evening-

Phoebe: "Nina are you ok?"

-uncomfortable- Nina: "I'm all itchy..."

She was scratching her arms.

Me: "You probably got bug bites too."

Phoebe:"Probably."

Phoebe:" Here sweety, let's go upstairs, Cj watch Charley."

Me: "Ok."

She took Nina upstairs to give her some potion. Charley was playing with his toys infront of the tv, so it wasn't difficult to look after him. The girls came back down a bit later, and we spent the rest of the evening together until it was time to go to bed. Phoebe insisted I put Charley to bed on my own...so I did.

-in Charley's room-

I layed him down and tucked him in without a fight, but as soon as I said goodnight and started to leave the room, Charley sat up and started to cry.

-crying loudly- Charley: "Cawey no wa go beh...Cawey wa pway..."

Me:"Charley, it's getting late, you have to go to bed."

Charley: "Cawey no wa!"

Me:"-sighs-."

I felt something hit me in the head...not too hard though.

Me: "Ow...what the?"

I turned around, and saw a book floating behind me..

Me: "Pheebles, what the heck?"

-softly- Phoebe: "Read him a story..."

I heard her voice comming from the doorway, I went over there and saw her standing on the otherside.

Me: "Honey what are you doing?"

Phoebe: "I just wanted to watch.."

-somewhat sadly- Charley: "Dawhy wayogo?"

Phoebe: Go on, read to him, he'll like it."

Me: "What book is this anyway?"

Phoebe:"It's a children's book, I found it at the department store."

Me: "-sighs-, allright... fine."

I headed back into the room.

-somewhat relieved- Charley: "Dawhy wayogo?"

Me: "I just had to leave the room for a second."

Me :"You want to hear a story little guy."

Charley: "Cawey wa pway..."

Me: "Well...here.."

I put his lotad and oshawott dolls into his crib, they were the only ones upstairs at the moment.

-excitedly- Charley: "Oswa!"

Me: "Mhm...he's your favorite isn't he?"

Me: "I'll read to you while you play..."

He seemed to be especially fond of his oshawott plush, even more than the new lotad one he just got today. Anyway I opened the book and read the first page.

Me: "Ok Charley, once upon a time, there was a little blue whooper, walking along a beach."

Charley: "Wuppo?"

Me: "Yeah, see?"

I showed the picture. I had never heard this story before either, somehow curiousity came over me, and I turned the page.

Me: "Then one day, the whooper came across a krabby."

I showed him the picture again.

-unsure- Me: "See Charley that's a krabby...I guess..."

The krabby in the book was simplified to the point that it looked exactly like a drawing of a regular crab.

Me:"The crabby was very grumpy...because he wanted the beach all to himself."

Me:"So he chased the whooper away."

I showed him the picture.

-cutely- Charley: " cwa cha wupo away..."

Me:"Mhm, you got it."

I turned the page.

Me: "The whooper did not like this."

-playfully- Me:"Awe, he's crying, see."

Charley: "Wher cwahwe go?"

Me: "Well...he's not on this page, I guess."

Me:"Because the whooper isn't on the beach anymore it's on the grass now."

Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Me: "That's allright."

I turned the page.

Me :"So the whooper decided to never go back to the beach."

Me: "Instead he went into the forrest with the other pokemon."

Me:"And he was there, for many days, and he was happy."

Me: "And all was well."

Me: " It looks like he's having fun."

The picture showed the whooper playing with several other pokemon, most of them were too simplified to tell what they were. One looked like a weedle, and another looked like a cross between a dog and a lion... it was orange, so I suppose it was intended to be a growlithe, and another looked like a ledyba, maybe?

Me: "See Charley? There's lots of pokemon in this picture."

-happily- Charley: "Pomons!"

Me: "Mhm."

I turned the page.

Me: "Until one day, the krabby realized he was lonely."

Me: "Nobody came to the beach anymore, because he had chased them all away."

Me: "This made him very upset."

Me: "Now he's crying too see?"

-unsure- Me: "I wonder what made him change his mind?"

I showed him the picture, he looked at it, but didn't really respond, it seemed that he was starting to fall asleep.

Me:"You starting to get tired little guy?"

Me:"Don't fall asleep yet we're not finished with the story."

-tiredly- Charley: "Cawey nah tywo."

Me: "Well, if you say so."

I turned the page.

Me: "So, the krabby left the beach, and headed into the forrest, just like all the others."

Me: "But the forrest pokemon remembered what the krabby had done, and they all chased him away.

The picture had the whooper, as well as all the previously shown forrest pokemon chasing the krabby, who was still crying.

Me:"Huh...I seriously thought it would work out differently."

I showed him the picture.

-tiredly- Charley: "awl pomons geh crahwy."

Me:"Yeah, that's what it looks like."

-jokingly- Me:"They're all crabby and the krabby aren't they?"

-tiredly- Charley: "crahwy ah crahwy."

Me:"But we still have a few more pages."

I turned the page once again.

Me:"So the krabby returned to the beach, all alone."

Me:"And came across a shuckle."

The simplified shuckle looked like a yellow and red turtle, even though a shuckle is not even close to being a turtle.

I showed him the picture.

Me: "See that's a shuckle..."

-tiredly, but cutely- Charley :" Seewee dahwy, es watarwool."

Me: "Really?"

His only point of reference was the wartortle doll he had, which was a fictional golden color, which of course led him to believe that all wartortles were gold.

Me:"It says it's a shuckle."

-tiredly- Charley:"Es watarwool."

-playfully- Me: "If you say so."

I turned the page.

Me: "Anyway, having learned his lesson, the krabby and the...um...wartortle quickly became friends."

He was laying down now, I knew it wouldn't be long before he would fall asleep, so I quickly read through the last two pages, and didn't show him the pictures.

-quietly- Me: "Eventually, the forrest pokemon saw them playing together, and decided to visit the beech."

-quietly- Me:"When they got there, they quickly found that the krabby would no longer chase them away."

-quietly- Me:"And so, once again, all was well."

-quietly- Me: "You asleep now little guy?"

He didn't respond, so I closed the book, put it on the shelf, tucked him in, and quietly turned out the lights and left the room. Phoebe was waiting for me, already in her nightgown.

Me: "Well he's asleep."

Phoebe: "Good."

Phoebe: "Come on, we should go to bed too."

Me: "Allright baby girl."

We headed into our room, I got undressed and then we got in bed.

Phoebe:"That was great Cj."

Me:"Um...thanks I guess."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, poor Nina, she had bug bites all over her arms and legs."

Me: "Really?"

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "I'm just glad they don't have bugs like that in the pokemon world."

Me: "Yeah, me too."

I wrapped my arms around her.

-lovingly- Phoebe:"-sighs- Cj."

Phoebe:"-giggles- You did well today."

Me:"Awe thanks baby girl."

Phoebe: "I heard some news."

Me: "What?"

Phoebe: "Melissa said that she'll have another job for us in a few months."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "She said she's getting so far along in her pregnancy, she can't work as hard as she wants too."

Me: "Do you know when she's due?"

Phoebe: "Probably early next year."

Phoebe:"She's so excited."

Phoebe:"She said James is really nervous about it though, and she's a bit worried about him."

Phoebe: "But I'm sure he'll get over it once the baby comes."

Phoebe: " We'll just have to see."

Me: "mhm."

Me: "Goodnight baby girl."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Goodnight."

She shut off the lights with her powers, then she snuggled up to me and we kissed eachother goodnight. Only for her to kiss me again just minutes later.

Me: "Feeling playful tonight hmm?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Mhm."

Me: "-sighs-, I love you."

-cutely- Phoebe: "I love you -giggles-."

She kissed me yet again, and we started to make out.

-lustfully- Phoebe:"ohhh... Cj."

-lovingly- Me:"Shhhhh."

I went under the covers.

-quietly but lustfully- Phoebe: "-sighs-, you naughty boy..."

I carefully slipped her panties off, and tasted her sweet little pussy.

-quietly but lustfully- Phoebe:"Ohhhhh Cj mmmmmm that's good...don't stop."

-quietly but lustfully- Me:"It's been awhile hasn't it?"

-quietly but lustfully- Phoebe:"Ooooh yes."

Eventually we both ended up completely naked, having sex in bed like so many nights before. When we finished we layed there, holding eachother tight.

-tiredly-Phoebe: "-sighs-, that was great."

-tiredly- Me: "Yeah."

-tiredly, cutely, greatfully-Phoebe: "Thankyou so much Cj."

Me: "Awe...I should be thanking you sweety.."

Me: "You sexy little thing."

-satisfied- Phoebe" -sighs-, Oh don't be silly, I needed that."

-amused- Me :"Hehe, you needed a good screwing?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Mhm..."

-sweetly- Phoebe:"From my loving husband."

Me: "Awwee...baby girl."

-sweetly- Me:"love you."

-cutley- Phoebe: " -giggles- wuv you!"

We kissed a few more times, got our underwear back on, and finally fell asleep a few minutes later.
