The first 6 months
Amongst all the crying, late night feedings, and diaper changes Kirsty and Pinhead had found parenthood quite an adventure. The entire Gash had seen Arcturus and even Angelique had gotten to see and hold the child. Pinhead put aside his differences towards the demon woman. She had even been given the title of 'Guardian' to him. Even though all the rest of the cenobites had been given that title. Even that perverted Pistonhead had been given such a title. By now Arcturus alternated crawling and walking (Arcturus wasn't a human child so he developed slightly different than human babies did)
He discovered that making mommy and daddy run was great fun. So what he often did was crawl around aimlessly until he felt his parents' guard was down enough. Then he went mobile on 2 legs rather quickly. Pinhead and Kirsty always managed to catch him though. He enjoyed making his parents run after him. The language his daddy used when he chased after him wasn't all that nice but it was rather funny. Currently his daddy liked to use the word 'shit' when having to go after him.
So running and walking away from daddy made him say 'shit.' Mommy's word was either 'dammit' or 'aww hell.' He had gotten to his feet and started to play the game of where daddy yells 'shit' when suddenly he was snatched up put into a jumper thing. That wasy his parents could keep and eye on him and he'd still be able to jump around without causing his parents to run everywhere. Arcturus had gotten bored of his jumping thing and was trying to find a way out of it. He couldn't talk just yet so he figured he would howl his disappointment. Now this worked on his aunt Angelique who had loved him like a son and tended to spoil him.
On mommy and daddy it didn't work though. He began to wish Angelique was here. She kept a watchful eye on him but yet played with him as well. He remembered this one time daddy had asked Angelique to watch him for the day while he took mommy out. He had lots of fun with Angelique. They went shopping when someone had made the mistake on making a rude comment about him and Angelique had more or less told the offender to 'piss off.' Now 'piss off' must not be a funny word because the nasty person that made the mean comment towards him figured that Angelique needed to be punched in the face.
The man was taken away to the doctors because he had a "bad owie" on his heart. When daddy had learned of this he was impressed that Angelique was willing to defend the child but concerned that if everyone she met made some sort of off comment about the boy there would be no one left to torture.
Arcturus kept working at the device that held him in place. It wasn't long before he undid it and crawled out. He giggled as he raced past his father as fast as his little legs could carry him. He could hear footsteps racing after behind him followed by a very loud 'SHIT!' right before he was snatched up off the ground and carried back to his mother.
"Pinhead don't say shit in front of him." Kirsty commented. Because that's going to be his first word. Pinhead glared at his wife. "And you would prefer his first word to be dammit?" he countered. Kirsty narrowed her eyes at Pinhead. "Xipe…" she warned. Pinhead quickly backed down. Kirsty only called him Xipe when she was extremely agitated with him.
Next chapter up soon. Until then ciao.
