Here it is, the last chapter. Glad you liked the other two.
Chapter 3
"Momma!" Jamie squealed as he ran down the stairs and ran over to his mother, causing her to pick him up and cuddle him close to her body.
"Well?" Liz asked as Sasha hurried over to Max and he picked her up.
"Momma, I set traps for the monsters." Jamie told her and she looked at her son.
"Why?" she asked.
"So that the monsters will not get anywhere near us and it worked!" Jamie exclaimed.
"Honey, it's only Uncle Michael and Uncle Kyle." Liz told him and he huddled into her.
"How do you know?" Jamie asked. "The monsters could be pretending to be them?"
Liz shot glares of daggers at the two men, who were still lying on the floor.
"What did we do?" Michael asked Kyle.
"It's okay honey, daddy will take care of the monsters." Liz told him as she let him down, took Sasha into her arms before taking Jamie's hand and they walked up the stairs, leaving the men behind.
"You know, I'm just gonna go, I have work tomorrow morning." Chris told Max and Max nodded as he walked Chris to the door and Chris smirked. "I want full details later." Chris told him and Max laughed as Chris left the house before returning back to the hallway.
Liz had tucked Sasha into her bed, making sure that she was cosy enough and that she had her favourite bear tucked in with her.
"Night momma." Sasha yawned and Liz smiled as she leaned in and kissed Sasha's forehead.
"Night baby." Liz replied before switching the lights off and shutting the door slightly before moving over to her son's room.
She looked in and smiled when she saw him sitting on the bed. "Hey honey." Liz greeted and Jamie looked up and Liz sighed as she sat on the bed.
"Am I gonna get into trouble?" Jamie asked in a small voice and Liz smiled slightly, he even acts like Max when he thinks he's going to get into trouble.
"No sweetie, you're not." Liz told him as she brushed back his bangs that were hanging slightly before pulling the covers over his body. "I understand why you did it."
"Really?" Jamie asked.
"Yes, your dad did the same when he was a kid." Liz told him and Jamie's eyes widen.
"That's right buddy." A male voice stated and they turned to see Max standing there.
Max arrived in the hallway and saw that Michael and Kyle were now standing up. He went near them only to rear back when the strong smell of garlic washed over him.
"GOD!" Max exclaimed. "What is that smell?" Kyle rolled his eyes.
"Your son drenched me in the garlic juice with some mushed garlic." Kyle explained and Max fought back a smirk.
"Well, I have to give him points for creativity." Max explained before spying the sliver-crossed spoons. "Yep, lots of points." Max stated once more with a shake of his head, enjoying the scowls that were directed his way. "Hey, you got Jamie scared that he retorted to this." Max reminded and shook his head. "Looks like the kids were fine after all."
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Kyle snapped and Max looked at him.
"You're right, it's not." Max agreed. "Just like it wasn't funny when you told Jamie about Halloween monsters." Max retorted and both boys sighed and Max shook his head. "I'm going up to check on the children, you stay down here cause I know that Liz is going to want to chew you out." Max told them as he headed up the stairs.
"My uncle told me a scary story so I ended up setting traps, though it was my dad who ended up tripping them." Max told Jamie as he waned into the room and sat next to Liz. "You can go down and see them if you want." Max told her and she nodded as she kissed Jamie's forehead before heading down the stairs, Jamie looked up at Max.
"You need to check for monsters." Jamie reminded and Max laughed slightly as he got up and started searching the room for monsters.
Liz made her way into the living room and arched an eyebrow as she saw the guys scuffle their feet.
"So, what do you have to say for yourself?" Liz asked.
"Hey, we're the victims of your son's traps." Michael reminded.
"And he was the victim of your stupid misplaced guide of telling him about Halloween." Liz shot back. "He was so scared that he retorted to set up traps to protect himself and his sister so don't you stand there and tell me that you were a victim!" Liz told them.
She sighed before rubbing her forehead. "Go home guys, I need to clean up here." Liz told them and they left while Liz grabbed the now empty pots from the front door and headed into the kitchen, only to smile when she saw more pots and WC sitting there, looking at the water with distaste emanating from his body.
She sat the pots down before grabbing the other ones and she grabbed the mop and bucket, she mopped up the water from the backdoor before making her way into the hallway and mopped up the water from the front door.
She picked up the sell-o-tape sliver spoons and smiled to herself when she saw them, she had to give points for Jamie's creativity before shaking her head and made her way back into the kitchen where she washed and dried the pots before grabbing the bowl that had the garlic juice in it and it brought a smile to her face as she realised where the smell of garlic came from before sitting down at the table and started to un-tape the spoons.
"There's no monsters, buddy." Max stated before tucking Jamie in. "Go to sleep and I'll bring up a glass of juice for you overnight." Max told him as he kissed Jamie's forehead.
"Night dad." Jamie stated and Max smiled.
"Night buddy." Max replied before switching the lights off, leaving the door opened slightly and took down all the garlic that were hanging before he headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
He passed the living room and smiled as he walked over to the CD player and pressed it on before heading into the kitchen where he saw Liz sitting at the table, drinking her glass of wine after cleaning up the place. "How did it go?" Max asked as he placed the garlic back in their rightful place.
"They had the nerves to blame Jamie." She muttered as she one more sip of her drink, he grabbed a glass and filled it up with water before adding juice to it before looking at his wife and smirked as he grabbed Liz's hand, swung her around into his arms before walking her out backward, he placed the glass down and grabbed the remote that was sitting on the table and pressed play.
"What are you doing?" Liz asked then smiled when she heard a familiar tune play through the speakers.
"We never got to dance to our song." Max told her and she laughed as she wrapped one arm around his neck and placed their forehead together as they danced.
#I could stay awake just to hear you breathing/Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming/I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever/Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes/I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you/The sweetest dream will never doI'd still miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you/Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming/Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together/And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes/I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you/The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile/I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you/Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close/Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment/For all the rest of time
I don't wanna close my eyes/I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you/The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes/I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you/The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe/And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes/Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing#
They kissed when the song came to an end, Liz loved the song more than any other song, it reminded her the time when she and Max finally got together and admitted their feelings for each other.
"I love you." Liz whispered once they broke away from their kiss and Max smiled down at her.
"I love you too." Max whispered back before kissing her once more and switched the CD player off and grabbed the glass and they both headed up the stairs, talking about all the traps that Jamie set up. "You have to admit that it's funny." Max told her and Liz laughed.
"Tell me about it." Liz replied as she shook her head. "Never knew that Jamie could be so creative." Liz admitted and Max nodded.
"Maybe now they'll learn." Max told her as he went into Jamie's room and placed the glass on the bedside table before heading back out into the hallway and raking his eyes up and down his wife. "You know, I never did tell you how great look." Max told her and Liz laughed as she grabbed his tie.
"Why don't you show me instead?" Liz suggested as she walked backward into their bedroom, tugging on his tie.
Max just smiled as he hut the door behind him, intending to take up on her offer, meanwhile, all the kids were tucked up in bed while the creatures of night roamed about just for Halloween.
The End.
Have a Happy Halloween!
