Chapter 8: Surprise

A/n: For those of you wondering, I skipped mo0nth six, because I lost that disk. I'll put it on as soon as I find it.

It was month five of Jhudora's pregnancy. By now, she was beginning to fill out faster than the first four months. But that was the least of her worries. By now, her round stomach announced to all Neopians in Faerieland that she was expecting. She wanted to surprise them when they saw her in four months with her new baby in her arms as she gave out quests. But little did she know, her the Faeries were planning a little surprise of their own...

The next day, Jhudora woke up nauseous as usual. She was wondering why she had no customers, when her doorbell rang.

"Damn humans..." She muttered.

When she opened the door, there was no one there.

"F------ Punks!" She swore in Faerie. Then something on the ground caught her eye.

"Oh... Wow..."

Sitting on her front step was a generous-sized pile of gifts for both her and the baby. There were cards, baby food, toys, and quite a few expensive quest items that she almost never got from pet owners. There was even a present for her Poogle, Diablo. For a moment, she was absolutely speechless.

"I... um... wow... um..."

There was a note:

"There's gonna be even more at the party tomorrow.:)"

Maelstra

Then, overcome by surprise, happiness, and even a little bit of a strange feeling she never felt before, she stood on the edge of her cloud and yelled out to Neopia.

"THAAAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOOOU, FOOOOOOOOOOOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALS; WHEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!!!"

Diablo peeked out the door and noticed the presents.

"Wow..."

Jhudora went into her house. She had absolutely no idea who left the presents, but for the first time, she actually felt grateful. It was at that precise moment she saw Illusen coming up the cloud, looking every bit as poofy as Jhudora did.

"Jhudora, did you...?"

"Get a whole bunch of gifts on my doorstep?"

"Yes."

"Yes I did. Did you?"

"Yes, me too! So did Fyora!"

"You too?"

"Who?"

"You."

"Me?"

"Yes, you."

"Yes, me."

"That's who."

They both had to laugh at that. It was just a few lines away from the "Once Upon a Mattress" theme. Not only that, but that was entirely unintended The they both sang that part of the song together out of hormonal euphoria

"You, sir.

Who, sir?

You, sir.

Me, sir?

Yes, you, sir.

Not me, sir

Then who, sir?

SHYYYYYY!"

The two of them went their separate ways after a good laugh. Satoru came home to Jhudora three hours later.

"Good day, my little flower. Have a nice day?"

"Yes, my knight in purple armor, I did. I got a whole bunch of presents from the faeries holding the shower on our doorstep today."

"To think we're getting married a month!"

"Sato, I'm worried, since the wedding is so close to the due date. What if I go into labor before we're legally married? The child will be a bastard!"

"Don't worry, it's a full week after the wedding! What are the chances of that happening?

"Yeah, you're right."

"Why don't you rest, Jhudy. You look very tired."

"Yes I am." And with that, she lay on the couch and fell asleep in Satoru's arms.

AT THE BABY SHOWER...

"That's from me!"

Taelia had given Jhudora, Fyora, and Illusen bassinets for the babies. Jhudora's was purple and green, Illusen's was green and burnt red, and Fyora's was pink and lavender.

"Awwww... How sweet!" Jhudora said.

"It's perfect!" Said Illusen.

"It'll go great with the décor in my baby's room!" Gushed Fyora.

"Go on, my present's next!" said The Uber Dark Faerie.

And then it happened.

Suddenly, with three loud whacks, Dr. Sloth, Vira, Garoo, Darigan, Master Vex, Lord Kass, and Eliv Thade entered the meeting hall where the party was being held. Everyone looked at Jhudora.

"I didn't invite them!" She mouthed.

"HEEEEEEEEY, Jhudy! Heard you were having a shower for your baby! I came to see, but unfortunately it's the wrong kind of shower, so I can't see ya nude! HAHAHA!

"Careful, A—hole, that's my fiancée!" said Satoru.

"And what're YOU gonna do about it, twinkletoes?"

"Leave him alone!" said Fyora.

"No one was talking to you, your royal fatness!"

Fyora actually turned red. "YOU WILL PAY!!" And with that, she turned him into a Faellie.

"YOU BITCH, HE OWED ME MONEY!" Shouted Vira, barely missing Fyora with her dagger.

"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK HER!!" Shrieked the Uber Light Faerie, as she threw a light ball at Vira.

Within minutes, the party erupted into a riot that took the police 8 hours to break up.

LATER...

"BOY, that was some party! What did the Dr. say about Fyora? Is the baby all right?" Asked Jhudora.

"Yeah." Said Satoru.

"And how long is Sloth in jail?"

"Not for long, considering he's escaped from every maximum security prison in Neopia."

As they spoke, Sloth was breaking out of jail, determined to give Jhudora his gift...
