Chapter Twelve

Jeanette was standing in the midst of wrapping paper and ribbons and name tags when Johnny came up behind her and put his hands over her eyes.

"Guess who," She couldn't help but giggle.

"Hmm, Richard Nixon,"

"Huh, I didn't think Dick had such a sexy voice." He wrapped his arms around her and leaned his chin on her shoulder.

"Huh, I didn't think you could get your fat head through the kitchen door."

"Oh you cut me deep." Johnny looked around the table. "What are you doing anyway?"

"Christmas wrapping," Johnny looked at her.

"Isn't it a little early for Christmas wrapping?" She looked at him as he sat down across from her.

"Johnny it is December fifteenth!"

"Still, anyway isn't this kinda obvious place?"

"If you woke up before eleven you would know Sue went to a wedding dress fitting and Reed and Ben are getting their tux's adjusted." Johnny furrowed his brow.

"They didn't invite me?" She smiled at him.

"If you weren't comatose a few moments ago you would have been invited." He smiled at her. "Oh no, you like you have had a thought."

"If we told everyone we were dating we could give them a joint gift." He leaned back.

"Aside from being one of the cheapest things I have ever heard you say, I don't think we should share the fact we are dating for a while." Johnny looked at her sitting up.

"Why not?" Jeanette wondered how she was going to put this.

"I don't think Reed would appreciate you dating his little sister." Johnny stared at her.

"What!"

"It isn't as if it is an unfounded belief ya know." Johnny stared as if he had no idea what she was talking about. "You aren't the most faithful guy in the world."

"Moi!" Jeanette walked over and sat on his lap.

"Good thing I don't care," She leaned over and kissed him.

"What is wrong with those two?" Sue looked at Reed. They were standing in the kitchen Sue and Reed were behind the counter in front of the stove while Jeanette and Johnny were chopping veggies for the stir fry.

"What so you mean?" Sue asked going back to the meat.

"Well look at them!" Sue looked over, they were laughing at something, and she looked at Reed.

"Their cute together aren't they," Reed looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Sue rolled her eyes; once again the amazing Reed Richards had missed something as plain as day.

"They are obviously together."

"WHAT!" Jeanette and Johnny looked up over the kitchen.

"Reed you okay?" Johnny asked.

"Oh he is fine, I just told him the knicks lost." That seemed to satisfy the two young people, and they went back to the chopping. "Damn it Reed be quiet."

"No! No I have to stop it!" He said voice considerably lower.

"Stop what?"

"Them; Jeanette can't date Johnny!" Sue looked at him putting her hand on her hip. Most people would take that as a warning but not Mr. Fantastic.

"Why not?"

"Because…" He seemed to catch on and trailed off.

"Are you saying my brother isn't dateable?" Reed seemed to be getting his wind back and puffed up again.

"Yes as a matter of fact I am!" Sue opened her mouth to argue with that, but couldn't. Johnny wasn't the exact person you would be happy to see bring your daughter home.

"That isn't the point, Jeanette is a big girl, and she can make her own choices." Reed opened her mouth to argue. "And if you interfere with them I will castrate you." That shut him up.
