Chapter 13- Curiosity
It'd been two hours since the fight ended. Frus, Tyr, and Dylan were all asleep. Otto was inventing something while Gibson was in his lab. Nova was busy training while Sprx and Chiro played video games with Seamus watching them in curiosity. Antauri was meditating and Ivy was practicing some spells.
Seamus had a question to ask, so he looked to Chiro and Sprx.
"Hey, Chiro? Sparky? Where do babies come from?"
The two looked upon the child in discomfort.
"Well, Sprx?" Chiro whispered to the red monkey. "Can you tell 'im? We haven't gotten that far in health class!"
"Uh…go ask your mother," said Sprx.
"Okay," Seamus agreed.
Momentarily, Ivy was met by one of her sons.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah, Shay?"
"Where do babies come from?"
"…"
"Mommy?"
"Uh…go ask Gibson…"
"Okay, mommy."
Seamus ran to Gibson's lab.
"Gibson?"
"Not now, Seamus! Go bother Otto!"
Otto was in the middle of his break when he saw a pair of blue eyes staring at him.
"Hi, Seamus!" he said happily.
"Hi, Otto! Where do babies come from?"
"Uh…go ask Nova."
"Okay."
Nova had basically demolished the punching bag.
"Nova!"
"Hi, Seamus! Something up?"
"Yeah. Where do babies come from?"
"Uh…go ask Antauri, Seamus."
"Okay!"
Antauri was brought out of his meditation by a young voice.
"ANTAURI!"
The black monkey fell to the floor in surprise.
"What is it?"
"Where do babies come from?"
"I believe your father is more suited to answer this sort of question."
"Okay."
Frus was blissfully snoring in his sleep, unaware of what was about to happen. Seamus ran in and jumped onto him.
"Daddy!"
He was partially brought back into consciousness.
"Huh? Wha? Whaddya want, Seamus? It's two in the afternoon."
"Where do babies come from?"
"Lottery tickets. Now lemmie sleep."
The young one's father rolled back over and began snoring once more. Seamus still lingered and Frus woke up again.
"Didn't you think to ask Chiro or someone?"
"Yeah, but him and Sprx told me to ask mommy who told me to ask Gibson who told me to ask Otto who told me to ask Nova who told me to ask Antauri who told me to ask you."
"Oh."
Frus went back to sleep and Seamus went to see his mother again.
"So, Shay, whadja find out?"
"Daddy says babies come from lottery tickets."
"Lottery tickets, huh? Why didn't I think of that?" she asked herself.
Beastfire: That's it for this story! My next one, I might have what would happen if Otto were in charge, but the only other ones there are Ivy, Frus, and the kids. Well, hope you liked this story and that you all review!
Frus: (still asleep) Hey, Onyx? Malachite? What are you guys doing with that hot wax? Wait…why are you coming towards me with it? NO, I DON'T NEED A BIKINI WAX!
Ivy: (rushes over to his side) Are you okay?
Frus: (wakes up screaming and accidentally punches Ivy in the face)
Ivy: WHAT THE (bleep)
Frus: Sorry! That was a complete accident! Are you alright? Well, please review!
Beastfire: (teasingly) Just how bad do you feel about it, Frus?
