Monday:
Margaret was still adjusting to things, in just a few days, she got around to having to share a bed with Mordecai, while Rosie slept in her own room. She knew what today was and she was kinda looking forward to it, Rosie started her first day of new school, even though the other kids had been there since September.
Margaret went to get out of bed only to get pulled on her back, "No! It's cold!"
The cardinal giggled, turning to him, "I have to get Rosie up for school"
Mordecai groaned, "No! Every time you leave, the bed gets cold"
"Silly" Margaret got out of bed and grabbed her robe, she wrapped it around herself then walked down the hall to her daughter's bedroom, "Rosie. Rosie. It's time to wake up" She shook the young toddler awake.
Rosie hugged Katie Mordy, "Mama. I start school"
Margaret nodded, "That's right Honey" She helped the young bird out of bed.
The smaller red bird rubbed her eyes then dragged Katie Mordy in tow. "Where Dada?"
The cardinal smiled, "Oh he's asleep" She walked downstairs, to get the young bird set up for school. "Ok so I'm gonna make some breakfast, while you, put stuff in your backpack" She headed to make Rosie some eggs.
Rosie picked up Katie Mordy and slid her into the bag, "All done!" She cheerfully spoke.
Margaret nodded, "Ok. I'm almost done"
The young bird walked to her mother, "Mama, why are you wearing no clothes?" She asked, lifting her robe.
"Uh…because Mordecai stole my pajama bottoms" She blushingly explained.
Rosie giggled, "He stole your underwah!" She giggled to herself.
Mordecai headed down the stairs, shirtless as usual and wearing pajama bottoms. "Good morning girls"
The red bird pointed, "Why are you wearing Mommy's bottoms?"
"These are mine. Your mom stole my shirt" Mordecai accused her.
Rosie looked at her mom, "Mama, is that twue?"
Margaret sighed, "Yes Sweetie, Mommy stole Mordecai's shirt because he stole her pants" She sat Rosie back in her chair, "Alright breakfast is done"
"Sippy!" Rosie spoke.
Margaret smiled, "Sure Sweetie" She opened the fridge and pulled out Rosie's cup and filled it with apple juice. "Here" She smiled, "Want anything Mordecai?"
He shook his head, "Nah. I'm going back to bed" He looked at Rosie, "Have a good day at school Rose"
She nodded, "Ok" She shoved a forkful of eggs into her mouth.
Margaret sat down to enjoy some food, she took a bite only to cover her mouth, "Hrm!"
"Margaret?" Mordecai looked at her.
She spat her food out, "Gross! I need to be better cook" She walked to the fridge and took some water.
Mordecai chuckled, heading over to her and wrapped his wings around her waist, bringing her close to him. He snuggled his head into the crook of her neck, "How ya feeling?"
Margaret giggled, "Not in front of Rosie"
Rosie gave them a confused look then back to her breakfast. Mordecai chuckled, "She doesn't know what we're doing"
The cardinal smiled, then felt a searing pain in her stomach, "Mordecai! Stop! My tummy hurts"
Mordecai nodded, letting his wings fall from her waist, "Alright. Oh! I forgot, I'm going to look for a job today. So…I won't be here when you get back"
Margaret smiled at him, "Alright. I'm gonna get dressed" She headed upstairs. "You mind getting Rosie dressed?"
Mordecai looked at Rosie, "Sure?"
Rosie giggled and clapped her hands. Mordecai lifted her up, "Ok. So what does Mommy usually do?" He asked as Rosie led him to her room.
"Mama pwicks!" She pointed at her dresser.
Mordecai nodded, "Oh so Mommy picks your outfit?" He knelt down then opened the dressers, "Ok. How bout this?" He sat a Blue's Clues shirt down with yellow pants and a purple jacket.
Rosie clapped her hands, "Yes! Yes!" He chuckled watching her dress herself, "Dank you Dada" She headed down the stairs.
"C'mon Sweetie. We have to go" Margaret shouted, all dressed up for the snow.
Rosie skipped to her mother, "Ok Mama"
Preschool:
Margaret zipped up Rosie's jacket, "Ok. I need you to be a good girl for Ms. Brianna. Ok?" She lifted the young toddler out of her car-seat.
Rosie walked around in the snow making Margaret sigh, "C'mon Sweetie. We need to get you inside"
The little red bird stomped her feet, "I love snow"
Margaret took her hand, "I know you do. But Mommy really needs to get going so if you don't mind" She knelt down and straightened her daughter's beanie, "Ready?"
Rosie nodded, Margaret walked her daughter to the door and knocked. A tall girl answered, "Hi. You must be Margaret Haddad"
Margaret nodded, "Yes. This is my daughter Rosaline Mavis Haddad"
"Rosie!" Rosie shot a mean look at her mother.
Ms. Brianna smiled, "Well hello Rosie. Come in" Rosie started walking in, before the teacher could close the door, Margaret spoke.
"Wait, can I tell you something Ms. Brianna?" She asked.
She nodded, "Yes?"
Margaret looked to see her daughter walking up to a small goat boy then back up to the woman's eyes, "My daughter has a weak heart, but I don't-"
"Ms. Haddad, it's fine. I have spare inhalers. A lot of children have asthma here"
The cardinal smiled, "Thank you. I'll pick her up at noon" She waved then turned to see Rosie playing happily with the goat boy.
"What's name?" The boy asked.
She smiled, "Rosie…what's yours?"
"TJ…I'm named afta ma Daddy" He proudly told her.
Rosie smiled, "Ma Dada is a bwue bird!"
Margaret sat in her car, before she could put the key in the ignition, she felt deep stomach pains, "Ugh!" Her hands gripped her jacket, covering her stomach area, she took a deep breath, "What is wrong with me!?" She gritted her teeth, then looked up, "I'll get a few things"
The cabin:
Margaret opened the door to see the house quiet, she felt her stomach area and bit her lip, she looked into the plastic bag, filled with stomach pain medicines.
She walked upstairs into her bedroom to see roses, she sighed, "Mordecai Quintel" She giggled, picking up the bouquet, "They're beautiful" She then felt her belly, "AH! OK! STOP!" She screamed, she took the bag and practically dumped out the things, she took a few pills and waited for her stomach to calm down.
She laid on the bed, hugging the roses to herself, she felt drowsy and closed her eyes.
Mordecai opened the door, shaking the snow out of his hair, "Margaret?" He looked around, "I found a job!" He looked around, "Margaret?" He headed up the stairs only to see her laying on the bed, with roses in her wings and pill containers on the bed, his heart sank.
Margaret stirred and looked at him, "Oh…hi" She waved.
He smiled, "Hey…you scared me a little. I thought you went all Juliet on me"
"Well you are my Romeo" She giggled, gesturing to the roses. "They're beautiful"
The blue jay chuckled, "Glad you like them…"
Margaret smiled, looking at the petals, she didn't want to say much. "You're worried." She finally spoke.
He sat on the bed, "No, I'm not"
She nodded, "Yes. You're worried about something"
Mordecai looked at her, "Ok. I'm a little worried about you. You've been in a lot of pain recently and…well I'm a little scared that someone's coming"
"Someone's coming…?" She trailed off then realized, "That's impossible. I can't be pregnant. When Rosie was being born, it was awful. I was in so much pain!"
He looked at her, "There might be a slight chance"
Margaret shook her head, "Blue jays and cardinals can't have kids together…." She looked at him, "could they?" Her voice carried a frightened tone.
He looked at her, "Only one way to find out" The blue jay walked into the bathroom and dug through the cabinets then found a test, "Here" He handed it to her.
Margaret sat on the toilet, taking the test, "No! Please god no! No! No!" She pleaded.
Mordecai waited outside, hearing her pleads, he was nervous himself, "What if she is? I'm going to be a dad! Holy crap! What if Jack gets her or the baby? What if the baby's a boy, I'd have to marry Margaret!"
Rosie played with TJ, she smiled at him, he was really cute. He had buck teeth and two stumps on his head where his horns would grow once he was old enough.
They played with Katie Mordy until a girl walked up to them, "H-hi. I'm Jessica. Can I play?" Jessica was a ostrich with white hair that was pulled into pigtails and this is my fwiend, Cooper"
A opossum walked up to them, he was nervous, "H-hi"
Rosie and TJ looked at each other then smiled, "Ok"
Jessica smiled, "I wike your dolly!"
The red bird hugged the doll to herself, "Dank you. Dada gwave me it"
TJ giggled, playing with his Buzz Lightyear toy, he brought with Cooper.
Rosie looked the time, she wished Mommy didn't have to pick her up soon, she wanted to play with Cooper, TJ and Jessica for a bit more longer.
Ms. Brianna walked up to the students, "Ok everyone. I want everyone to put on their coats. Everyone's mommy and daddy is coming"
Rosie and TJ walked to their cubbies where their things were kept, Rosie dressed herself then looked at the door.
The door opened to reveal a ostrich wearing a red jacket and brown pants, "C'mere Jessie!"
Jessica waved, "Bye bye Wosie" She walked to her dad, "Daddy!" They left.
While a short gray opossum came in and picked up Cooper, "C'mon Bud!" They left too.
Rosie watched as all the kids got picked up, her and TJ were left. "Where Mama and Dada?"
Margaret was pacing, she looked at the test, "Ok…" She gulped, "quit being chicken, just look at the stupid test" She walked over to the counter, "Oh…!"
The door opened, it was a taller goat, "Come on TJ" His dad spoke.
TJ waved at Rosie, "Bye Rosie" He walked to his dad.
Rosie waited, nobody came to pick her up, Ms. Brianna looked at her student, "I'll go call your parents if they're not here by 1:40 pm"
The young bird stared at the door, waiting. "Mama?" Finally the door opened, a man with red hair opened the door.
Ms. Brianna looked up, "May I help you?"
He nodded, "I'm Henry. Margaret sent me to pick her up, she has car trouble"
The teacher nodded, "May I see some proof?"
Henry nodded, "Yea. Here's some proof" He pulled out a gun and fired.
Rosie screamed and watched as her teacher fell to the ground, bleeding. Henry turned to her, "Your daddy's been lookin for ya!" He ran after her.
The red bird screamed and ran away from him, "No! No!" She saw his legs were open, she ran and slid through his legs making him try to grab her. "GET BACK HERE!"
Rosie turned to see she'd left her doll behind, "Katie Mordy!" She looked to see Henry was going to grab her, she screamed and tried to run.
Henry grabbed her by her jacket, "Girls are so delicious when they're young and scared"
Rosie squirmed and screamed until she looked down, she unzipped her jacket and sprinted away from him into the cold snowy area. "Mama!" She cried.
Henry glared, "Jack's going to be mad!" He chased after her, "Rosaline! Get over here!"
Rosie ran faster, she didn't know much but she knew she didn't want Henry to catch her, the cold wind hit her feathers, she whimpered and shivered.
Henry shouted after her, "I have your jacket Rosie! You better get back here before you freeze"
Rosie started coughing and her breathing became wheezy, she was having a asthma attack, she couldn't stop coughing. She needed her inhaler, but Margaret had it. Rosie's vision became blurry, she couldn't see where she was going, she kept running only to slip and hit the snowy ground, wheezing and struggling for a breath.
She shivered and began to cry as she couldn't keep her breath. She began to crawl only to cough and drop her head into the snow.
Ok. For the record! Rosie is NOT dead! She's fine! Oh! Margaret might be pregnant. Sorry for all the cliffhangers but hey what ya gonna do? Anywho I'll try to update on Saturday but I'm not sure if I will. Anyone see Chad, Jeremy and Thomas? HAha. Ok bye
