Jerry lay fast asleep on the orange couch, he lounged across it as he snored loudly whilst softly scratching his stomach. He felt himself sink further in to the couch as he continued to relax, falling deeper in to his sleep. Jerry slowly felt his limbs grow numb as he relaxed when suddenly he felt a heavy weight drop on to his chest. Gradually, his eyes opened. Jerry was immediately met by a bright light which stung his eyes as they tried to open. But as his blurred vision began to clear he saw a figure right infront of him. The figure wriggled constantly, making its way closer to Jerry's face. He began to smile when his eyes finally fully opened and he recognised the bright brown eyes gazing down at him.

"Hey Neavie," he yawned, trying to hug her to his chest. But Neave squirmed out of his grasp and continued to sit upright an look around at her surroundings. Her perfectly plump pink lips remained constantly pouted as she scanned the area. Her rosy cheeks puffed in and out as she began babbling to herself quietly. Jerry chuckled as he listened to her before gently poking her in the stomach with his finger, "how long have you been here?"

"Two hours!" He heard a voice from the kitchen call.

Jerry paused in thought and quickly sat up to see who was talking to him, only to see Alex, Theresa and Mason surrounding the island in the kitchen watching him in astonishment.

"How long have I been asleep?" Jerry asked groggily whilst letting out a loud yawn that caused Neave to jump in fright.

"Three hours!" Theresa yelled at him angrily, "exactly the same time I've spent working my butt off making my homemade Enchiladas!"

"Well, how did Neave get here?" he asked, gesturing to her as she sat on his stomach.

"I put her there," Mason admitted nervously, "they dared me to do it to see if it'd wake you up."

Jerry sighed "why am I so surprised!" He exclaimed sarcastically. Carefully, he picked Neave up and walked towards the others. "So, what do we owe the pleasure?"

Alex smiled at Mason excitedly, "we have some news, well I have some news."

Theresa gasped dramatically, causing everyone to jolt in surprise. "You're pregnant!" she cried happily.

"No!" Alex and Mason shouted in unison.

Alex groaned, "why does everyone always say that?"

"What is it then?" Theresa asked disappointed.

"I have a job," Alex began, "on the wizard council."

Theresa and Jerry instantly burst in to laughter, they stumbled around whilst they roared with laughter and clung on to each other and the marble island next to them as they tried to regain their posture.

Jerry suddenly held on to his side and began to pant rapidly whilst screeching, "stitch! Ow! Ow! OW! Stitch!"

"Oh mi hija, youre so funny!" Giggled Theresa.

"No I'm being serious! Why aren't you taking me seriously?"

"Oh so you're telling the truth?" Exclaimed Jerry sarcastically. "Ha! Who's dumb enough to give you that job?"

"Justin."

One again both Jerry and Theresa chortled loudly, their faces gradually turned bright red as they continued to hysterically laugh while the rims of their eyes filled with happy tears. Little by little though their laughter began to fade when they noticed the serious expressions on Alex and Mason's face.

"Oh," began Theresa, "you're being serious?"

Alex and Mason slowly nodded and Jerry gave a heavy sigh. "Oh god what is that boy thinking."

"Dad!" whined Alex who was feeling slightly offended.

"I'm sorry honey but I just didn't think a job on the wizard council is a career you'd be interested in. I mean, you're not really in to following rules or any authority."

"Well this would be different I'd be making the rules! Besides, I think this could be good for me. This could be my thing! Like we were talking about the other day when we were out for breakfast, I seriously think this is what I could do."

"But what about Neave? If you're working on the council and Mason is at college who's going to look after her?"

Mason scoffed, "apparently we're sending her to day care."

Alex turned and glared at Mason, she placed her hands on her hips and stared at him intimidatingly while he smiled awkwardly at her.

"Which I am completely fine with," he lied chuckling nervously.

"Sounds like you've thought everything through," said Theresa smiling. "I'm so proud of you honey," she told Alex engulfing her in a tight hug.

"Me too," said Jerry, "but now it's time for you to get serious."

"Ha! Serious?" Mocked Alex, "I am serious!"

"Alex, Mi hija, last week you gave your father Neave's baby food by telling him it was Harper's homemade dipping sauce," Theresa said causing Alex to laugh menacingly.

"Excuse me!" asked Jerry in surprise.

Alex turned her face away from her dad, to prevent herself from laughing further. Eventually she took a deep breath and turned back to face her family. "You're right," she told them, "that might not be exactly what someone who works on the wizard council would do but I'm past that now. I want to be serious about this! Not just for me but for Neave too."

"Good," said Jerry, "because this is a huge responsibility to have Alex, you can't just wing it or mess it up! If you do it could have a whole negative impact on the Wizard World."

"Wow Dad, pressure much?"

"I'm being serious Alex! Promise me you're going to take this seriously and work well with your brother."

"I promise."

Justin paced around his office anxiously, his black cloak slowly trailing behind him. The sound of the soles of his leather shoes tapping as he walked across the cobbled floor broke the eerie silence, and the bright moonlight shining through the window illuminated his office. Highlighting the various shadows and shapes luring around the cold office, Justin shuddered in fright as he caught sight of them.

Suddenly a high-pitched ringing caught Justin's attention. He turned to see an illuminous vortex of light circling in the middle off his office. "Finally," he sighed as he waved his wand at the numerous orbs of light.

A strong beam of light shot at the vortex, causing it to disappear and in it's place appeared a hologram of Chancellor Roootie Tootie Tootie. "Hello Professor," he greeted snarling at Justin.

"Evening," began Justin nervously, "I take it you got my message?"

"I did, and may I ask since when did the Wizard council need any new members?"

Justin cleared his throat, "well, with recent events-"

"What? You hiding from us the fact that we were being threatened by the angels of darkness?"

"Yes, and-"

"And that as the result of this a young girl died needlessly."

"Yes! Yes, I am aware of my mistake! And that is why I want to work on improving the wizard council…"

"Why fix what isn't broken?" Asked Tootie Tootie shrugging his large shoulders, "the way I see it you are the weak link in our system Professor."

"I know, and I'm sorry you all think that. But from now on my focus is gaining all of your trust and improving the Wizard World, the Wizard council and Wiz Tech. I want to show you all what I am capable of, which is why I have found someone new to join the council. My theory is if we get a new councillor's opinion on our projects then as a council we can create some new fresh ideas and maybe even find ways to improve are current practices."

Tootie Tootie sighed, "so, who's the lucky guy or gal?"

"Alex."

Tootie tootie instantly burst out laughing. His blue and gold velvet cloak swayed back and fourth as he trundled around in hysterics, "Alex!" he cried, "yeah right!"

Justin stood in silence watching Tootie Tootie nervously. He waited patiently for his laughter to subside, when he calmed down Tootie Tootie looked at Justin's solemn face and felt the rage build within him.

"Son of a Witch! You've gotta be kidding me!"

"Surprise!" Chuckled Justin anxiously.

"Surprise? Surprise? Did you seriously think I'd be happy about this? Did you seriously think anyone would be happy about this?"

"Alex was," Justin joked, trying to break the tension.

"Don't try to be funny with me Russo, I knew you when you were just a teenage wizard in training. Don't think you can give me orders because clearly you don't have the councils best interests at heart."

"I do!" Exclaimed Justin angrily.

"Well you clearly aren't considering Crumbs in all of this."

"I always want to make Crumbs proud and show him he chose the right person for the job."

"Unfortunately Justin, I don't think you're doing that. If anything you're doing the complete opposite! He's getting older Justin, his powers are becoming weaker. When his time comes do you really want him to see everything he built up fail due to a lack of care on your part."

"No…" mumbled Justin.

"Then why ask Alex?!"

"Because I think she would work well on our team. She's young, she has modern ways of thinking and I think she could help us get some fresh ideas. For example, she has a lot of interesting thoughts on Wizard dating and Marriage laws."

"So I take it Wolfy is still in the picture then," Scoffed Tootie Tootie, "I get where you're coming from but Alex is not professional at all! How will we be taken seriously?"

"She will be. She isn't doing this for fun, she has responsibilities. She's a mother now."

Tootie Tootie's mouth hit the ground, "What?" he asked in astonishment. "Seriously? Alex and Wolfy reproduced! Gosh, I'd heard rumours but… Wow, that poor child."

"Anyway," interrupted Justin, "she's coming to our meeting on Monday. I want her to be treated with the same respect and dignity any other councillor would."

"Fine, I guess I better go and warn the other councillors. But one question, what did the Wizard hospital say about the child?"

"What has that got to do with anything?" Justin asked suspiciously.

"The child is a hybrid Justin, we must be weary of them."

Justin laughed, "my niece is not a danger to anyone. She's a baby."

"Then why hide the fact she was even born?"

"We're not hiding her, with everything our family has been through in the past it would be nice for her to grow up out of the public eye. Plus, her dad is really protective."

"Oh is that what you call it protective? Don't you mean possessive?"

"Mason just wants the best for her, we all do."

"Then I suggest you prepare yourselves. Wizard werewolf hybrids are unpredictable and dangerous Justin, just like most hybrid children and if you are not willing to protect our wizard world residents then I will!"

"Like I said, she's a baby. The last thing she would do is hurt anyone."

"Yeah until she'd older. Just beware professor, this child wont stay your precious little girl forever."

"You're being ridiculous!" Justin told him sternly.

"Just don't say I didn't warn you…"
