Chapter 30

"See… Honey, you can't have a sister because…" Cindy pleaded Jimmy with her eyes to help out a lil.

"Because… we…." Jimmy said not entirely sure exactly what excuse he could come up with, and then it hit him. "We adopted you because we can't have kids!"

"Why not?" Danielle asked staring up at her father with her mothers emerald green eyes.

"Yea, Cin, why not?"

Cindy glared at her husband for dumping that part on her… "Um… cause the stork doesn't know our address!" Cindy replied. "Now… let's go home."

"The tork?" Danielle asked.

"Uh… yea… see, mommies and daddies get children from a stork… but the stork doesn't know our address since we are unlisted in the phonebook… so we can't get one! That's why we adopted you!"

"So… abduct another kid!"

"I wish we could… but each couple can only adopt once in their life." Jimmy stepped in, winking at Cindy. Now, let's go home... it's too chilly for you to be out here." Jimmy picked Danielle up and put her on his shoulders, and the three of them walked back to the hotel.

"So how was daycare?" Cindy asked surprised at how quickly Jimmy took on to being a father… then she realized she had stepped into the mother role pretty quickly herself.

"It was cool! We went o moosic and ten we had snacks, and learnt our AVZ's!" Danielle said proudly, and Cindy heard it as ABC's.

"Really, sing it to me." Cindy said remembering how her mom always had to correct her on M, N, O, and P.

"A, V, Z, B, E, F, G, H, I, K, J, L, N, M, O, P, Qrew, R, S, T, U, B, W, X, Y, N, Z now I know my AVZ's, nest time won't you thing with me!"

"Well… that's PRETTY close," Cindy, said with a soft giggle as the entered the hotel.

"Hey, Cindy, how old is your lil one?" Libby asked once Cindy, Danielle, and Stacey had gotten to their hallway.

"Three, isn't yours?" Cindy replied.

"Yea… but I didn't know that she would grow!"

"This is kind of in Ultralord episode number 577, when Dr. Egor creates a potion that makes every human on earth grow old REALLY fast, and if Ultralord hadn't figured out a way to make everyone young again they would have a died."

"Sheen, could we not talk about your da...oumb obsession with Ultralord for about five seconds?" Libby asked winking at Sheen.

"I guess… I sort of miss him… speaking in English."

"I bet… I wonder what it's like to all the sudden have all my music in French and not be able to understand it." Suddenly from the room across from them someone had turned up the volume on the TV and a commercial was playing. "What'd it say?"

"I dunno… but I heard Ultralord and Paris." Sheen said, then his face lit up as he ran into his room and grabbed a broacher his dad had sent him. Within the next thirty seconds he was back with the others. "This… is a list I always keep with me, it tells me where Ultralord will be making his next live appearance." Sheen said waving the list in the air, "Ah-ha!" he yelled triumphantly.

"What?" Jimmy asked, setting Danielle down so she could go play with Samuel who was sitting on the floor playing with one of his father's Ultralord action figures.

"It says here that Ultralord is in Paris by the Eiffel Tower on February 15th. I've GOT to go see him! Libs, you coming with, right?"

"Sure… I wouldn't mind meeting him, Samuel... come on!" Libby said motioning her fiancé and son into their room. Just as Jimmy was about to follow their example Brittany and Carl enter the hallway.

"I knew you could do it!" Brittany said coming within earshot of Cindy and Jimmy. At the sight of Kristina Danielle ran and they both met in a big hug in the middle of the hall, as if they were the best of friends.

"Do what?" Jimmy asked, as they got closer.

"I bathed a llama." Carl said proudly pointing to his 'I bathed a llama' pin. "Now I almost have a complete I `verbed' a llama pins collection! I already have 'I touched, rode, fed, and brushed a llama… and NOW I have one that says I've bathed a llama!"

   "That's great Carl." Jimmy said realizing that the girls had started their own lil conversation.

"Let me see your ring, girl!" Cindy said showing her hand to Brittany.

"WOW! Here is mine!" Brittany slid the ring off and handed it to Cindy. "Look at the inside."

"I don't see anything..." Cindy said confused.

"It says, 'I'm married to the llama's biggest fan.'" Brittany pointed to the tiny witting and Cindy finally saw what she was talking about.

"How very… Carl-like." Cindy said not exactly sure WHAT she should say.

"Um… Cindy, Sweetheart, I think we should be thinking about heading to bed." Jimmy whispered into Cindy's ear.

"You're probably right… bye Brittany!" Cindy said as she and Jimmy and Danielle disappeared behind the door. "Jim, have you seen my purple bag, it has my pajamas in it?" Cindy asked going through all of their now-full-sized baggage.

"Here!" He said grabbing the bag near his feet and tossing it to Cindy.

"Thanks." Cindy said catching the bag. "I'll be back." She disappeared into the bathroom to get dressed, brush her teeth, brush Danielle's teeth and cleanse her face. When se was done with the above she re-entered the room in her new Valentine's Day pajamas that she had bought while the girls were looking for dresses. The shirt was red with a single pink heart in the middle and had sleeves cut just below the shoulder. The pants that went with it were also red, and had lil candy hearts with sayings all over them. "You like." Cindy said twirling.

"Yea..." Jim said smiling.

Cindy slid into bed and attempted to take down her hair. "You better be happy." She said when she realized her hair hadn't been cut to where you should put it into a ponytail.

"Why's that?"

"Cause I can't put my hair up anymore." Cindy pouted, then realized that Danielle wasn't getting in her bed until someone tucked her in. She got up and put Danielle in the other bed, tucking the covers around her so that she would feel all cozy like her mother used to do to her. Then slid back next to Jimmy.

"I am happy… because I'm married to you, but our hair really does look awesome."

"It feels a little weird because I REALLY want to pull my hair back, oh well... it'll grow out."

"You're not the only one… I liked my hair… and now... LOOK AT IT!! "

"Shhh. You'll wake up Danielle. And I love your hair." Cindy said.

"You just like it case it reminds you of Nick's hair!" Jimmy teased.

"Do not! His hair is cute, but looks are all that by has. When's the wedding gonna be?" Cindy asked laying her pillow down on the bed so she cold lay down, Jimmy did the same.

"September 15th?"

"That's the day we met."

"You remembered?"

"How could I forget?" Cindy said turning out the lights.

Meanwhile in Libby and Sheen's room they had just started getting read for bed.

"Have any of your friends ever seen your dad?" Libby asked brushing her teeth.

"Nope… they think he left when I was ten." Sheen said after rinsing his mouth.

"Must get lonely without a dad though."

"A lil… but he sends me e-mails, writes, and even calls every once in a while. And usually sends me a nice check on my birthday."

"How nice exactly?"
