Lee:
The door creaked slightly as I opened it a smidgen to peer into Uncle Bobby's room. I hesitated when I saw he was awake.
"Lee-Lee, you know you're welcome."
That was all I needed to close the door behind me and scurry into his bed sure that the monsters from my nightmares were close behind me.
"Bad dreams?" he asked.
I nodded and then I noticed he'd been crying. Perplexed I asked, "What wrong?"
"Nothing for you to worry about Lee-Lee. Uncle Bobby just went and got himself hurt again."
"Booboo?" I asked, "Mommy kiss it, make it better."
He gave me a small smile before telling me, "Sorry Lee-Lee. Mommy couldn't make it better if she tried."
I frowned trying to think what had happened to upset him and it hit me slowly. Aunt Rogue had just gotten back from a mission and when everyone split after greeting Pretty Girl Uncle Remy had gone with Aunt Rogue. They'd been holding hands.
Trying my hardest to imitate my father I put my sternest face on and accused him of what I suspected, "You kiss Uncle Remy again."
He froze his face dawning in horror as he realize I knew his secret. The only reason I know is because this one time I was playing hide and seek with Daddy I hid really good and saw them. That and this one time I had a nightmare and like always I went to Uncle Bobby's room. Its safe in Uncle Bobby's room, the monsters can't live there, he wouldn't let them. Anyway I was curled up in his bed about to fall asleep when I heard them talking outside the door. Uncle Remy was trying to convince Uncle Bobby that they should go into his room. Uncle Bobby told Uncle Remy that he knew he wasn't allowed in his room because I always go in there when I have nightmares. He put his foot down, he didn't let Uncle Remy in. See what I mean about monsters? If he won't even let Uncle Remy in I know he won't let the monsters from my nightmares in. The only bad thing is that Uncle Bobby disappeared for two days and I didn't get to watch TV with him or nothing. It was horrible!
Him and Uncle Remy are really careful not to get caught. Uncle Remy only kisses Uncle Bobby when Aunt Rogue breaks up with him. Then those two sneak around. Aunt Rogue always gets back with Uncle Remy though and then Uncle Bobby always ends up sad. I don't think anyone else knows about them. Well, sometimes I think Uncle Logan knows because sometimes he'll look at Uncle Bobby and do that thing where his nose will do that crinkle thing and then his eyes will narrow suspiciously. So maybe he knows. I wonder if Pretty Girl knows, she's seem really smart.
I think Uncle Remy would go ballistic if anyone found out. Aunt Rogue would probably throw a fit too, a lot of the time she acts like she owns Uncle Remy. Don't see why she'd want him though. He's a dolt. Dolt , I love that word. I read it in a book somewhere and anyway Uncle Remy is one. So there. I can't stand him. He makes one of my favorite Uncles cry. I hold a strong dislike for him. Whenever Uncle Remy tries to talk to me or hold me I start wailing and find Mommy to hid behind.
"What do you mean Lee-Lee?" Uncle Bobby asks me in a harsh tone.
I look at him exasperated. Honestly it still night time and despite the nightmare I want to get back to sleep. I really don't have time for him to be silly right now. I sigh and give him my 'being Daddy' look again, "You kiss Uncle Remy. Aunt Rogue come back, now you cry. I tired of you crying. Uncle Remy not worth being sad."
That said I give him a full on pout.
He blinks a few times not sure what to say so I continue, "No more Uncle Remy. Me no like him."
For a moment he seems to forget I'm only two going on three and shouldn't be able to comprehend what he's saying, "Lee-Lee can you keep a secret?"
"Otay."
"Don't tell anyone about Uncle Remy okay? You can do that for me can't you Lee-Lee?" he asked looking scared.
Honestly. I roll my eyes at him. "Uncle Bobby I not stupid," I tell him , " I no tell. Now go nite-nite."
That said I curl up with my pillow, close my eyes and go to sleep. He'll be okay. My Uncle Bobby is tough.
Note:
I apologize for any Remy or Rogue bashing done in this chapter. I like both of the characters. Remy is one of my favorites. However Lee holds strong opinions on Remy. He's only two, I believe his opinion will change as this fic progresses.
In defense of why Lee goes to Bobby's room after nightmares please just consider this. If you just had a nightmare who would you be more likely to go to: Bobby or Scott? Hopefully you liked this chapter, if not sorry but it's essential to what I'm planning to do with this fic. Thanx for reading. Sorry about the rant just me getting ahead of myself and babbling.
