Author's Notes: Hey y'all! I'm so happy that I've been getting so many great reviews and it feels good to be back on the fanfic scene! I'd like to take this time to acknowledge all of the reviewers that I have as of now...
Devil-Raptor: Thank you! I'm glad that you're enjoying it so far. And I actually DID get Morty's nickname from Mortimer Toynbee. Lol, I kinda wanted a connection and I loved that nickname so I figured Morticia' would be a good name for her. Keep readin!
Me: Awwwww...*hugs*! I'm sorry about almost makin' you cry! But that does kinda make me feel special ^^. Don't worry, Me, there's gonna be quite a bit of comedy in this fic too. I can't write something that has no funny things in it. It's just not in me. Hope you continue to read!
Invader Nina: Oh yes, this story is definitely gonna be continued! Especially since one of my friends will beat me up if I don't finish it ^^;;;. She loves this story! Yay! You think it's sweet! I wanted Todd to be really gentle and loving with his sister. Thank you!
Maika: WOW!!! YOU MEAN IT?? I CAN BE ON THE SITE?!?!? *runs around giggling madly before she hits the wall* Ow...can't do that in dorm rooms, hehehe. It's great to know that you, Mistress of tthe Todd's Troubles Trilogy, is R&R'ing my work! And don't worry, as I said before, there's no way I can leave this fic unfinished!
Eternity's Voice: Thank you for the compliments on my writing style! I feel proud now...*giggle*. I realized my mistake about the line spacing thing after I posted the darn chapter ^^;;, but it's not gonna happen this time! Even though I still can't figure out how to indent the paragraphs on my computer's html...Oh well. And about Morty's dead lover, this is an integral part of the story! You'll just have to keep reading to find out. ; )
Window Girl: Thanks for R&R'ing all my works! It was definitely a pleasant surprise. And I'll keep this fic coming, don't worry!
And again, BIG HUGS AND THANK YOUS TO THE REVIEWERS OUT THERE!!! *smooch* I love you all! Now on with the fic!
Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen
Todd swayed back and forth as he hugged her, happy that his sister was finally safe with him again, until he noticed Morticia's shoulders shaking. When he looked down he saw that she was sobbing intensely. Todd quickly picked her up, and laid her gently onto the couch before turning to Fred.
Hey, yo...could you, um, leave us alone for a minute? Morticia and I need to talk.
Fred asked. Todd scowled at him. Oh. Uhhh, sure man, he replied dazedly before going upstairs.
Todd headed back to the couch and sat down before gathering Morticia into his arms. he whispered, Yer back with T.T. now. Tell me what's wrong, kiddo. You can tell me anythin'...
She clutched at his waist tighter as another sob ripped through her thin body and she shook her head.
You can't tell me?
She shook her head again, more calmly before saying, softly, Not yet. Morticia sat up, looking Todd straight in the eyes and smiled sadly. I'm glad I found you, she said. Todd hugged her again saying, Dry up, Mudhole! Hey, Fred baked me a birthday cake, how bout we go celebrate? Sound good, Sweet Sixteen?
This idea seemed to lift her spirits a little, although the sadness still lingered in her gold eyes. That sounds good, she replied. As soon as she agreed, Todd grabbed her hand and skipped into the kitchen, thinking to himself, I forgot that I could be this happy...'
Author's Note: Sorry that this chapter is so short! That's why I posted the second and third chapters at the same time. This way I know I won't get lynched by angry readers that feel they'd been jipped by the short chappie.
