Chapter Four: Raising a Child is No Picnic
~Dipper's POV~
I loved that Bill and I finally had a child together, but it was no walk in the park. Especially when you have a half demon and half human child. Remember that Teen Mom show? It's kind of like that expect without all the drama, yelling, and crying. Well, a little bit of drama, but nothing too major.
Don't get me wrong, Diana Belle was a remarkable and amazing little girl, but raising a baby was hard work. Even with all the help that I was given from my family, Bill, Will and Blair, and even Jill, it was still difficult.
So far, it has been exactly six months since Diana Belle was first born. And her growth rate was increasing rapidly. So far, her hair was growing faster than a normal child and she was already reading Dr. Seuss books already. It was like she was our version of Matilda. At least she was the same height and weight as a normal six month old.
However, her powers were all over the place! It was hard to control them all and even when they did happen, Diana Belle didn't even know what was happening. I remember this one time when she turned four months old and it was the middle of July. I was beginning to scroll through online colleges for myself before Will ran in.
"Dipper! We've got a problem!" He squeaked out, fixing his blue hair that seemed to be all over the place and his suit a little bit burnt.
I looked up from my computer with a confused look. "What? What's going on?"
"Ummm... Diana set the couch on fire!" Will stated, patting down his black and blue top hat from the fire.
"What?!" I screeched before running off to the living room. There was no way that my baby girl could've set the bloody couch on fire!
But there she was. Diana Belle sitting on the couch, reading the first Magic Tree House book with the couch on fire. No joke, my little girl was sitting on the couch reading a book… While the couch was on fire! However, Bill was standing there with a wide smile upon his face.
"Bill, what's going on?" I asked, looking at my husband with shock.
"Our baby girl has demon magic, babe! I'm so proud of her!" The dream demon squealed, wiping some happy tears from his eyes.
"... Bill, We already knew that! Now please put out this fire now!" I yelled, pointing to the couch in anger and worry in my tone of voice, my heart feeling like it was going to burst itself out of my chest in fear.
He sighed and nodded his head, a look of disappointment on his face. "Oh, alright." My husband then sprayed water upon the couch from his hands.
Diana Belle looked around and poked the couch a bit. She seemed a bit upset that her fire was put out. I then picked up our angel and looked at my husband. "Bill, I know that you're excited that our daughter is learning magic. But she's still human though and she could get seriously hurt."
"She's not going to get hurt if she has Jill, Will, and I to train her!" Bill replied, walking over to us.
"Still, hon. I know she's growing up and that might be normal for you and your kind, but it's not for us humans. I just... Don't want you and her to get hurt." I told him, a serious and worried look upon my face.
Bill sighed and petted Diana's long brown and yellow hair. "You have a point, babe. I'm sorry."
I gave him a kind smile and kissed him tenderly. "You should be, weirdo."
My husband chuckled and kissed me back. "I'm pretty sure that old Sixer is gonna be writing another journal on our child."
"Already on it!" We heard Grunkle Ford called out from his study in the castle, which caused Bill and I to chuckle a bit.
And that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. The day came, after a few months, when Diana had read all the Magic Tree House books that Mabel had in her possession. And even the long mystery novels that I had in my bookshelf. So, some of us thought it was a good idea to take her out of the castle and into town. We all had different opinions on how everyone could react. Mabel, Blair, Jill, Wendy, Pacifica, and Will all thought that it was a good idea. However, Ford, Stan, Soos, Robbie, Bill, and I thought it was an awful idea.
"Oh come on! It would be nice for her to go out and see other people besides us. She could even meet Candy and Grenada and their kids!" Mabel stated.
"But she could hurt someone. Her powers are still out of control!" Ford replied, taking out a notebook that was full of Diana Belle's progress and flashing it out for all of us to see.
"But she can't stay in this castle forever. She's not Rapunzel, you know." Blair sassed.
"Okay, fine! Votes for Diana Belle to go into town." I said as Mabel, Blair, Jill, Wendy, Pacifica, Soos, Robbie, and Stan raised their hands. "Those who vote no." Only Ford and Bill raised their hands.
"YAY! Diana's going out to town!" Jill cheered, dancing with a slice of pizza in her hand. Yeah, she still didn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend yet. She was like the cooler version of me before I had Bill.
"Not yet! We have to see if Diana Belle wants to go or not." Bill explained as he walked over to our little girl who was playing with Robbie and Wendy's boy.
"Are you kidding me?! She's too young to make her own decisions." Robbie argued.
"Hey, at least she can make better decisions than you can, Broken Heart." Blair teased, knowing that she can practically tease anyone especially Will. If you know what I mean.
"Besides, Broken Heart, demons mature faster than normal humans. Right now, she's at the right age of a demon child." Bill explained, picking up Diana as she giggled. "Now, sweetie. You have two options: Go out to town with daddy, Uncle Will, Aunt Blair, and mommy or stay here with Aunty Mabel, Great Grunkle Stan, and everyone else."
Diana gave a look that told us she was thinking. A second later, she held up her index finger as if to say she agreed with the first options.
Ford and Bill gave out a groan of defeat as the others gave a cheer. "Alright, let's take her to town!" Blair squealed as Diana Belle gave a giggle of excitement.
And we did go to town and she did a lot better job at being in different places than I thought she would. Diana Belle was always so friendly to everyone and either waved or smile to strangers. She was a lot better at making friends than I was.
Finally, we all made it to the bookstore, she instantly began to crawl to the teen fiction section. Blair followed her in case she hurt herself as the two girls began to read the first Harry Potter book.
"I'm surprised she hasn't whined yet." I stated to Will and Bill, wondering to the adult section and saw Ford's book. Ford had recently decided to publish his books to the world. It was nice to know I wasn't going to be the only one reading his works.
"Demon children don't normally complain unless they have a reason to. But I've never seen a demon child that was normally this friendly, even to strangers." Bill replied.
"Said the man who tried to take over a small town and failed to two twin children." Will teased, hip pumping his brother.
"Hey, one of those twins then became my husband the love of my life forever." Bill sassed back, kissing my forehead.
I chuckled and picked up the first Scott Pilgrim volume. "And then had a beautiful little girl."
Bill chuckled and nodded his head. "However, the story isn't over yet. It may say that at the end of a movie or a book. It's the reader that continue the story as long as they believe it never ends."
"You mean fanfiction?" Will questioned in confusion.
"Yes, my brother. Fanfiction!" Bill told, sounding a bit like Robin Williams.
I laughed but then began to think of something. Our Diana Belle was part demon and part human. Could she possibly live forever like Bill or would she eventually die as all humans would?
"Guys!" Will squeaked, pointing over to his pregnant girlfriend and our daughter. Apparently, the Harry Potter book had already gotten into our year old daughter. Because the two girls were already riding on broom sticks.
"Oh my god! Diana! Blair!" I yelled as Will was crying in fear. But the two girls were already laughing.
Hey everybody, long time, so see! Sorry it's been a while, college has been taking over my life and my family and I are moving into an apartment for a short amount of time.
