Yello! I'm back! I'm in the middle of watching Boomerang! Don't judge me! My childhood is back on! Top Cat, Scooby Doo from the 70s, Secret Squirrel, Yogi Bear, Power Puff Girls, all those shows! So last chapter Jack and two of his cronies were arrested and Mordecai sorta got along with Morris. Now we're back and it's four months since that so…boom.

Ian: And a flashback too huh?

Me: Yea…how I got my nosebleeds!

Four months: The cabin:


"Alice! Alice! No Honey!" Margaret shouted, running to her youngest daughter.

Alice looked up laughing a little 'evil' laugh. In her hand she had her father's expensive phone in her hand as she flung it around carelessly.

Margaret grabbed the child's hand, "Sweetie! Give that to Mommy!" The phone fell into her mother's hand, "Oh such a curious girl!" She giggled, "You always keep Mommy and Daddy on our toes"

Mordecai was at work, so Margaret was left around with the girls, usually she could handle it but since Alice was getting older, she could get into more trouble not to mention the cold she had.

She tweaked her daughter's beak, "Allie. Allie quite the troublemaker" She lifted her up, "Rosie! Come down here and clean up your mess"

There wasn't an answer from the child, Margaret patted Alice's back, "Rosie! Sweetie?"

Alice coughed then heard her father's phone beep, she squeaked with glee, "Gah!"

Margaret looked down to see a message, she sat the phone down not wanting to be nosy. She walked up the stairs, "Rosie! Where are you?"

Something fell in the bathroom making Margaret turned towards the door, "Rosie?"

Rosie gasped, "No!"

Margaret jolted the knob, "Rosaline Mavis! Open the door!"

In the bathroom, the trashcan tumbled over and the toilet was flushing, the shower curtain flung around. Rosie seemed to be in a big hurry.

The cardinal sat Alice down, and took a few steps back, "Rosie! Last chance!"

The door stayed closed, the noises continued. Margaret ran forward and slammed her shoulder against the door.

The door burst open reveal Rosie standing over the toilet, trying to flush something.

"MAMA!" Rosie shrieked.

Margaret looked to see blood on Rosie's shirt, "Rosie…what happened?"

Rosie began to cry causing more blood to leak from her nose, "I da know"

The cardinal looked at her, "Oh Sweetie. Let me clean you up" She opened the cabinet only to hear a little whimper coming from the tub. She cocked an eyebrow making Rosie gasp. "What was that?"

Two little stumps appeared, "Is she gwone?" He looked up to see Margaret looking at him.

"TJ!" Rosie warned.

Margaret looked to see blood on TJ's hand and shirt, "What's going on here?!" She lifted him out of the tub. She took their hands making the kids whimper.

TJ whimpered, "Am in twouble?"

She yanked the two kids' arms downstairs, she sat both kids down, "Now explain to me why TJ is here, Rosaline!"

Rosie looked at TJ, "H-he wan-wanted to pway"

TJ looked at his shoes, "My mommy wanted awone time with my daddy"

Margaret looked at the young boy, "TJ. You can not just sneak into other people's houses, what if you snuck into someone else's house?"

TJ sniffled, "I'm very sowee Rosie's mommy"

The cardinal pointed at TJ's hand, "Please explain the blood"

Rosie began to cry, "I'm sowee Mama! My nose was bweeding!"

"Why didn't you get me?" Margaret asked, giving the two kids a crucial look.

The little goat looked at his feet, "I told her I could fix it"

Rosie looked at her, "Don't twell TJ's mama"

TJ nodded, "Don't twell her!"

Margaret sighed, "Sweetheart. I have to tell TJ's mom. She has to know where he's been" She walked to the phone and dialed TJ's mother's number.

TJ grabbed Rosie's hand, "I'm scared" Their fingers locked.

Margaret spoke, "Hello Justine. How are you?" She smiled as she heard Justine speak about herself, "That's great…well I have your son at my house"

Justine let out a scream, "WHAT"!?

Margaret held the phone away, "Yes…he's safe and sound. He was in Rosie's room until I caught them"

Justine nodded, "I'm on my way!"

Margaret looked at the kids, they sat on the couch watching Wreck-It-Ralph, looking then suddenly looked at Alice's highchair, "Where's Alice?" Her eyes widened. "Oh my god!" She raced upstairs to see her daughter clapping her hands, drooling.

Margaret lifted her up, "Alice! I'm so sorry Sweetie!" She patted her daughter's back.

Alice let out a little cough, Margaret hugged her tight, "Mommy left you upstairs. She's so silly sometimes" She carried Alice downstairs seeing TJ and Rosie watch the movie.

Mordecai's phone was beeping like crazy, Margaret looked at Alice was a paler shade of blue, coughing into Margaret's shoulder. Rosie looked at Alice, "Is she swick?"

Margaret nodded, patting Alice's head, "Poor little Allie"

TJ saw the headlights and whimpered, "NO! My mommy is here!" He jumped off the couch earning Margaret to grab him by his shoulder.

"No TJ. Stay here" Margaret ordered.

Alice squirmed in her mother's grasp, her stomach hurt really bad, TJ squirmed as well, not wanting to get into trouble.

Margaret walked with both two in her wings, she shifted Alice for a moment then opened the door, Justine saw TJ and gasped, "THOMAS ROGER CRAIG JR"! She glared.

TJ squirmed earning Margaret to lose her grip, Justine gladly took over and grabbed TJ, "I'm so angry at you!" She grabbed his arm, "Thanks for calling me Margaret" She pulled TJ out.

TJ whimpered, "Bye bye Wosie" He was pulled out the door.

Margaret turned to her daughter, "I'll deal with you la-BLAH!" She turned to see Alice had puked on her shoulder, Margaret sighed, "Alice! Sweetie" She hurried off to the sink.

Continuous beeping came from Mordecai's phone, Rosie looked to see her father was receiving a call on his phone. The caller ID said Ashley. "Who's Ashley?" She looked up then answered, "Hello?"

The woman smiled, "You must be Rosie!" She spoke, "Is your daddy home"

Rosie shook her head, "No but my mama is"

Margaret looked over, "Rosaline!" She wiped the vomit off and placed Alice in her highchair, "Rosaline! Don't touch Daddy's things" She swiped the phone to hear a voice.

"Rosie? Are you there?" The woman spoke.

Margaret answered, "No, this is her mother. Who is this?"

"I'm Ashley! I'm Mordecai's friend" She smiled.

The cardinal nodded, "Oh well Mordecai's not here right now. He left his phone at home"

Ashley nodded, "Oh I know he's at work but I was hoping to call him at work"

Margaret narrowed her eyes forward. Was Ashley having a affair with Mordecai. "Did he tell you we have two daughters? One is only four months old"

Ashley smiled, "Yes. Alice and Rosie"

The cardinal looked at Rosie, "Sweetie, go upstairs"

Alice coughed from her highchair, Margaret spoke, "Listen I have to go Ashley" She hung up and headed to her daughter, lifting her up, leaving a lot on her mind.

"Who is this Ashley? Why does she wanna talk to Mordecai?" She patted Alice's back.

Alice yawned the clutched her mom's shirt, making Margaret aw, "My poor Allie" She walked upstairs into her room, laying Alice down in her bassinet, "Sleep tight Allie"


Later that night:

Margaret sat on her bed, feeding a bottle of formula to Alice while Rosie was asleep in her room. Alice seemed eager about pulling her mom's hair as her mom fed her.

Mordecai opened the door, "Hi Baby"

The cardinal smiled, "Hey" She stroked Alice's cheek, "You left your phone here"

He nodded, sitting on the bed, "Yea…I figured that out on the way to work" He added a little chuckle.

"Who's Ashley?" Margaret asked, not meeting his eyes.

Mordecai smiled, "Just a friend. Who's helping me with something"

Alice babbled then coughed, making Mordecai aw, "My poor Allie. Nobody should be sick like you" He stroked her cheek making Alice whimper. "Want me to take her?"

Margaret sighed, "Sure" She handed her to him.

Alice whimpered, kicking her feet at her dad, Mordecai tickled her belly making her squirm and giggle. "My silly girl" He kissed her cheek then turned to Margaret, "I'll put her down" He carried her out of their room. "Daddy has a surprise for Mommy" He laid her in her crib, "He's going to ask her to marry him"

Alice cooed then pointed at her mobile, she wanted her mobile. Mordecai kissed his daughter's cheek, "I love you Princess"

"Dat's the name of da bad girl in Power Puff Girls" Rosie whispered.

Mordecai turned, "Gah! Rosie! I didn't see you there!"

Rosie looked at him, "I heard you Daddy"

The blue jay knelt down, "Ok then now off to bed"

She nodded, "Yes Daddy" The little red bird ran off.

Mordecai played the mobile and draped a blanket over his daughter. Alice turned over and closed her eyes.

Mordecai reached into his pocket and smiled, "Thanks Ashley" He headed into the hallway, nearing his bedroom. "Margaret"

Margaret got out of bed, "Yes?"

The blue jay gulped, he looked down at his feet, "I…I've been meaning to tell you something for a very long time"

Margaret nodded, "Yes…?"

He looked at her then smiled, "I…I.." He knelt down opening a box, "Will you marry me?" Reveal a diamond.

The cardinal bit her lip, tears forming in her eyes, "I…" She looked at him, "*sigh*" She wouldn't meet his eyes, "Mordecai, for over a year, you've been with Rosie and I. You gave me Alice. And I really love you…but…" She looked down, "I'm sorry. I can't marry you" Tears dripped down her face.

He hugged her, "I'm sorry to spring that on you" He apologized.

She looked at him, "It's not like I haven't thought about it"

Mordecai slipped it back into his pocket, "Maybe a romantic setting would've made it a little bit better"

Margaret giggled, "Mordecai. As much as I love you. We can't get married. I'm still married to Jack"

The blue jay kicked his foot back, closing the door, "Well can't we still do stuff?"

Margaret giggled, "Mordecai! You silly man"


The next day:

Rosie and Alice sat at the table, Alice grabbed a fistful of her porridge and flung it on Rosie, "Hehe!" She giggled.

Margaret turned her head, "Alice Marie! Don't do that"

Rosie grabbed her porridge and flung it at Alice, "Take dat!"

Alice giggled, Mordecai grabbed his oatmeal and flung it at Rosie, "Don't throw things at your little sister"

The red bird turned to her sister and scooped up her food and shoved it in her mouth then stuck out her tongue showing Alice her food.

Alice copied, eating her porridge then showing her food. Drool dripped from her mouth making the girls giggle.

Margaret smiled, "Girls. You guys are so silly"

Rosie giggled, pulling on her hair, "I have your hair Mama!"

The cardinal smiled, "You have my old hair"

It was true Rosie had Margaret's long hair, it was to her shoulder with brown streaks.

Mordecai laughed, "Wow, you looked like that?"

Margaret nodded, "Yea. But I think my spikes are better"

The blue jay smiled, "Well I think you look perfect anyway your hair is" He looked at Alice, "I think my little Princess over there is gonna have spikes"

Alice looked up with porridge all over her cheeks and chin, "Gah wah!"

Mordecai chuckled, "She's so cute"

Rosie looked up, "I'm cute too Daddy!" She glared.

The blue jay ruffled up her hair, "No you're beautiful" He looked at Margaret, "And you're stunning"

Margaret blushed then kissed his cheek, "Thank you"

Alice spat out her porridge, splashing porridge at everyone. She clapped and giggled only to cough.

Margaret giggled, lifting her daughter out of the highchair. "My perfect family"

The blue jay looked at his food, "I wonder when she'll say yes"

"Did you ask her Daddy?" Rosie asked.

He nodded, "She said no but she'll yes someday Sweetie"

Rosie smiled, "I know Daddy"

"Someday" He whispered.
