CHAPTER ONE: Babysitting
Screaming. This child never stopped screaming. All it did was scream and make a mess. Nifty could not stand the noise or the fire burst coming through the apartment. She couldn't stand that or how the other little girl just kept watching her like it was expecting something. The boy screamed constantly and the girl just sat there, shedding all over the fucking place. Nifty thought in her life she might want children, but she realized she can't stand them. Especially not demon royalty children. If she was being honest with herself, it wasn't the children that were bothering, no it was the attention her husband was giving them. Husker was surprisingly patient and friendly to the children. When Charlie mentioned wanting Vaggie to attend some stupid burracratic thing she had to attend, Nifty had greatly offered her and Husker to watch the little brats… children. She thought it'd be easy like when she was a maid/nanny in her life. Especially since she knew the children. She did not know how they came about the little one but the girl was adopted. Husker argued and threw a fit until they got here. The moment they left Chase started screaming for his moms and Vivian just sat by the door her ears down and head tilted wondering why her moms left them. She was about to step in when Uncle Husk scooped Chase up and comforted him. He wrapped little Chase in his wings and kept cooing at Vivian to get her away from the door.
At first Nifty thought it was cute. She took pictures, teased, and mocked him while the kids cuddled him. However, after a few days it wore on her. She found herself slipping into her old ways of wanting to silence or dispose of everything that took her Husker away from her. The stupid greedy children. Right now Husker was ignoring the meal she worked so hard on in order to try and get Chase to eat his. Last night he ignored advances because he heard a noise and wanted to check the kids. Somehow Vivian ended up in her spot on her husband's chest as they slept. She was scared her moms weren't coming back. It's been this way all week. She was going out of her way for Husker but these little bastards were taking all his attention. She was taking deep breaths at the table. Vivian was sitting under the table by her legs in case of another fire from her 'brother'. It would be so easy to drop this knife right through the little bitch's head. If she dropped it hard enough she could get rid of the distraction. She wasn't scared of Charlotte or Vagatha; she'd get rid of them too. How could she get rid of the other one though? Before she could consider that the brat ran out from under the table knocking Nifty out of her chair. Finally Husker paid attention and caught her. Chase spat out his peas and turned to glare at his sister, fire raising and his blond hair starting to blow gently. Fuck, not this again but then maybe there is a God as Charlie claims.
"MOOMMMMMYYYY, MOOMMMMMMA! MOMMMMYY, MOMMMMMA! MOMMMMMMY, MOMMMMMA!" Vivian screamed as she sat scratching Nifty's oak door and her tail going knocking over the flowers she had there. It was the first time Nifty had her say anything above a whimper this entire time. Chase hearing his sister's exclaimatinons he skipped over to his sister with the same dumb smile his mother wore so frequently. Nifty ran to the door, throwing it open, almost crushing Vivian in the process. She didn't seem to mind though as Charlie scooped up both her children coddling them. Charlie had a big smile but her wife had an expression that almost mirrored Nifty's. Not that she wanted to murder her children, just that she didn't feel particularly like being a mother at that moment. She gave a smile as she paid them and asked about their behavior, surprisingly silencing both children. Nifty gave an answer but kept it short. She wanted them away from her husband. Vaggie ushered Charlie and Vivian out while she held Chase.
She leaned in close to Nifty and whispered, "Alguna vez sigues pensando en matar a mis molestos mocosos y te mostraré el infierno." With that Vaggie took Chase to follow his mother and sister. As she shut the door she heard Husker laughing. She stared at him for minute watching not able to tell what was so funny. He couldn't contain himself.
"Imagine, being jealous of six and two old enough to contemplate killing them." he choked out, still laughing. He was mocking her. Mocking her love for him. Mocking her jealousy, mocking her crazy but he was focused on her and only her. Suddenly she realized he'd purposely ignored her all week not just out of concern for the well-being of the children, but because he liked watching her be mad and go crazy. He could just have easily read Vivian the story Vaggie wrote for her to make the adoption easier like he'd done every other night. No, he wanted to piss her off. "Next time you volunteer us for something without asking me, remember this week." He laughed gruffly. She laughed a bit but slammed him against a wall.
"Oh, we're never doing this again." He smiled as things started to go her way.
