A/N: Thanks to everybody who reviewed. I think I'm going to take Kitten Kisses's advice and at least put in a time of day. I forgot to mention this takes place a few years after the game, but I think you've probably figured that out already. I do intend to bring in the rest of the ToS cast eventually.

Entry #6

Afternoon

I think Raine's weird pregnancy behavior has already begun. After lunch, I noticed her crying like a little kid for no apparent reason. Poor Sheena was trying to comfort her and not having any luck. I asked Sheena what it was about later, and she said something about Raine is worried she's going to get fat and Kratos will think she's ugly. Who abducted my sister and replaced her with this crazy woman? Raine never worried about her appearance like this before. I hope Sheena and Lloyd decided to wait for awhile to have children. The last thing I need is to live with two moody women. Wait, they're both already moody. Never mind.

After dinner

I found Kratos going through some huge boxes in the front hall. I asked him what was in them.

Me: Hey Kratos, what's in those boxes?

Kratos: Stuff I managed to salvage from Derris-Kharlan.

Me: What was there that you wanted to keep?

Kratos: Dunno yet. That's why I'm going through these boxes.

Me: So you just threw random things in boxes and brought them back here?

Kratos: Basically, though Yuan packed some of them. There's no telling what's in here.

Me (digging through box): Why would you need this? (holds up old pair of pants)

Kratos: I don't. Must be something Yuan threw in there.

Me: You want to keep Martel's dress? (holds up pink dress)

Kratos: Um.....that's er....not Martel's. That's Mithos's.

Me: WHAT?

Kratos: It's best you don't ask. Could you open that other box?

Me: Ok. (opens box full of old books) You want these?

Kratos: Not really. I've read them all.

Me: You know, Raine loves old books. Maybe she'd like to take a look?

Kratos: Good idea. It might make her feel better.

Me: She still moping around upstairs?

Kratos: I'm afraid so. Why don't you bring these to her?

So that's how I ended up walking into the lion's den, so to speak. Raine was really happy about the books, and everything would have been fine if I hadn't opened my big fat stupid mouth. I just had to ask if, since she likes old things so much, did she enjoy being married to a living artifact? I had to leave the room quickly, to avoid the torrent of flying objects.

Entry #7

Next day, morning

I woke up to some pretty unpleasant sounds coming from the bathroom. From what I gather, Raine has what Sheena referred to as morning sickness. I went to ask if she was all right, just to show there were no hard feelings from last night. She said that since Kratos was snoring and she couldn't go back to sleep, she might as well make breakfast. This could get ugly.

After breakfast

The last thing I wrote was so right it scares me. Raine attempted to make waffles and only succeeded in starting a fire. I managed to put it out with Aqua Blade, but do I get any thanks? No, I just got in trouble for flooding the kitchen. I'm hiding from everyone on the porch, trying to study. It's not working, because Lloyd keeps distracting me with his griping. From the sounds of things, he stayed out too late last night, so Sheena made him sleep on the couch. He keeps complaining about a sore back. He says next time he's taking over my bed and I'll be the one to sleep on the couch. Ha. Not gonna happen. Uh-oh, I have to go. Raine's yelling something that sounds like "Get back in here and mop up this kitchen!"

Afternoon

Some days I feel like running away, but I have no idea where I'd go. Someplace where the kitchen doesn't smell like burnt waffles would be a good start. When I was talking to Lloyd, my voice cracked a couple of times, and he's been making fun of me all day. He keeps pinching my cheeks and talking about how "our widdle Genis is gwoing up!" He's starting to piss me off majorly. If he doesn't stop, I may be forced to use his toothbrush to clean the bathroom floor. That's not why feel like running away, though. It's living with these weirdos in general. I don't know how much longer my sanity can endure.

Entry #8

Late morning

I don't know if Lloyd is trying to compensate for the years he had no family besides Dirk, or if he's just being stupid and annoying. Knowing Lloyd, I'd say the second option is more likely. I was trying to read, and he jumped up in my lap.

Lloyd: Will you read to me, Uncle Genis?

Me: You know how to read. Get your own book.

Lloyd: But you're my uncle! Can't you spend time with me?

Me: What are you talking about? I spend time with you every day. And you know I don't like you calling me "Uncle Genis."

Lloyd: But I've never had an uncle before!

Me: Go bother someone else.

Next thing I know, I hear Kratos fussing at Lloyd. Apparently, Lloyd took my advice literally, and now he's bugging his dad because they never played catch together. Ow...Lloyd just went flying through the air into the hallway. I guess that's Kratos's idea of playing catch with his son. He's probably going to bother Raine next, since Sheena's out shopping for groceries. Lloyd just accidentally called her "Professor" again, ever though she's asked him not to repeatedly ever since she married Kratos. (Never mind the fact he's been out of school for a couple of years now.) I've heard kids accidentally call their teacher "Mom," but I've never heard of anyone calling their mother (or in Lloyd's case, stepmother) "Teacher." Once Sheena comes home, he'll probably annoy her, too, just so he'll have irritated everyone in the house today.

Afternoon

I hear splashing and slamming coming from the bathroom down the hall. That can only mean one thing-Lloyd's taking a bubble bath. I don't know why a twenty-year-old man would be taking a bubble bath, no doubt with his rubber ducky and little toy boats, but then again, this is Lloyd, after all. He's been acting like an immature idiot all day. I wonder if he drank too much coffee this morning at breakfast.

A few minutes later

I went into the bathroom to assess the damage. The floor is even more flooded than yesterday when I used Aqua Blade in the kitchen. From the looks of things, Lloyd filled the bathtub to the top and used about half a bottle of Sheena's bubble bath. She's going to be very upset. There are globs of bubbles everywhere, and it looks like Lloyd's toy boats have been shipwrecked all over the bathroom. If I get fussed at for using Aqua Blade in the kitchen, he should get a worse scolding for this.

Entry #9

Next morning

Kratos seems to have stopped trying to be such a badass ever since he and Raine have been together. He still lectures Lloyd sometimes, but he actually tries to show his caring side. He even hugs us all. Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to the mercenary/Cruxis angel we knew, but I guess it's not a bad change having Kratos become a family man. He's been really gentle with Raine, especially now that he knows she's pregnant. I'm glad they're happy, but the mushiness is starting to get sickening (especially when I leave the room to get away from it, only to find Lloyd and Sheena smooching in the next room). Right now, Raine is lying across Kratos's lap, and he's rubbing her back. At least it's not the foot massage again. Last week, I saw Kratos giving Raine a foot massage, which wouldn't be so bad except he kept kissing her toes. Ugh. I just hope her feet were clean.

I need to go by the weapon shop to get my kendama fixed. I left it in a chair last night, and someone sat on it and broke it. I don't know who it was, and nobody has confessed. What I DO know is that I cut myself shaving this morning (I'm still not very good at it), and if Lloyd doesn't stop laughing at me, I'm going to take that razor and shave his head tonight while he's asleep. Speaking of Lloyd, just like I thought, Sheena was pretty annoyed when she came home and found what Lloyd did to the bathroom, especially since he was too lazy to clean it until she started yelling. I thought I was being funny when I asked her what she ever saw in Lloyd, but she just gave me a dirty look. Sheena's dirty looks are almost as scary as the Kratos Death Glare. I swear, when Kratos is irritated, he gives looks that could melt stone. Last time I was on the receiving end of the Kratos Death Glare, I had found him and Raine cuddling. I started pretending to gag, and he heard me and gave me the Death Glare. Raine gave me a pretty nasty look too, but the Angry Big Sister Look is nothing compared to the Kratos Death Glare.

Afternoon

Raine's maternal instincts are starting to kick in, and she's treating me like a little kid. She keeps trying to hold me and play with my hair. I told her I'm not three years old any more, but I guess I was a bit harsh in the way I said it, because she almost started crying. I felt guilty and ended up letting her baby me for a little bit. I heard her mumble something about "damned hormones," so I'm assuming this isn't a permanent change in her behavior. She started again with the mother routine later, and now Lloyd and I are hiding in his bedroom closet. She's been chasing us with a comb trying to make our hair "look neat." It's dark and uncomfortable in here, and I can't write very well. My words are
