To RandomFanAuthor- OF COURSE HE IS! ^_^

To HoO Fan- awww, another broken heart to my collection! And why? Because it's fun. Haha. Suffer. But thank you!

And Leoisa finding out about Frazel baby. Cue bad role models:


"You're what?"

"Pregnant, Lou."

"Ew, why?"

"Um…"

"No, don't answer that." Leo advised, elbowing his wife. She blew a raspberry at him. Hazel flipped a bewildered look between the pair of them. Louisa rubbed her hands together.

"Right," she said, "where's Frank? I need a word."

"No, you don't." Leo poked her. "Behave." He smiled at Hazel. "Name it Leo."

"No."

"Rude." Leo pouted. A small being crashed into the back of his legs and he looked down. Elsie peered up at him, smiling cheekily. "Hello, mija." Leo grinned, scooping her up and sitting her on his shoulders. "Check it out, Bibi- Tia Hazel is going to have a baby too!"

"Sister!"

"Cousin." Louisa corrected kindly, looking around. "Mm, we're missin' one. Hazel, bear this in mind- they disappear quicker than ya blink. Kia!" She called, moving further into the apartment. She found Frank in the kitchen, putting lunch together. "Oh, hey, I need a word with you!"

"Oh gods." Hazel laughed. "Leave Frank alone!" Movement behind the sofa caught her eye and she smiled. "Kia, are you going to come and say hello? I'll be upset if you don't." Hazel hadn't even finished her sentence when her niece sprung from behind the couch, roaring and racing forward on little legs. Hazel beamed, crouching and catching the toddler in her arms.

"Tia, Tia!" Alokia exclaimed eagerly, letting Hazel kiss her cheek. Elsie kicked her feet to get down. Leo deposited her in Hazel's other arm and went to find Louisa.

Frank was hiding behind a cupboard door, holding a frying pan on his head. Louisa was trying to get to him, wielding a rolling pin. If she got within three feet, he turned into a snake and sent her cursing backwards.

He popped up behind another cupboard door, spying Leo.

"Help!" He pleaded. Leo caught Louisa from behind, smacking the rolling pin from her grasp. Frank breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped out from behind his make-do shield, but the pan remained on his head. "Thanks, Leo. I… she's scary."

"I am most aware." Leo grinned, kissing her cheek. "Come on, I've left Hazel with the terrible two."

"I just wanna say congrats!"

"You want to break his hand."

"Break his dick."

"Leave him alone!"

"Help!" Hazel called. Leo dragged Louisa out, trying to send Frank reassuring looks over his shoulder and probably making it worse.

Alokia had somehow climbed onto Hazel's head, Elsie was upside down, giggling. Louisa forgot Frank for a moment, catching Elsie. Leo coaxed Alokia down, setting her on the floor.

"Go and play." He encouraged. They grinned and toddled off. "You alright, Hazel?" She huffed, feeling her head.

"I am now, thank you." She eyed Louisa warily. "Where's Frank?"

"Still alive, if that's what ya mean."

"I thought you liked Frank."

"I do."

"This is her big sister instincts kicking in." Leo translated. Frank stuck his head out of the kitchen, having replaced the frying pan with a more substantial cooking pot. Hazel stifled laughter, pushing past Louisa to go and comfort him.

"It's alright, Frank, just ignore her." She smiled, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek. He relaxed a little, wincing when Louisa pointed at him and mimed breaking something.

Hazel helped Frank dish up lunch, following Will's jambalaya recipe. Alokia regarded it distrustfully, poking at her small helping with a plastic spoon. Elsie was happily tucking into it, but only from her mother's plate, sat on her lap. Louisa didn't seem to mind, eating from Elsie's dish.

"Mama…" Alokia wailed, wrinkling her nose. She pushed her plate away, sticking her tongue out. She hunkered down in her seat, folding her arms. Leo glanced over, making a face at his youngest. He smiled at Frank, oddly proud.

"She only eats food if I cook it."

"Would have been nice to know." Frank grumbled. Louisa reached across, sliding Alokia's plate towards Leo. The toddler sat up a little straighter, watching them carefully, arms still folded. Flames crackled at Leo's fingertips and he wiggled his fingers over the food.

"There," he said, "fixed it, mija." He slid the plate back over to her. She beamed at him and immediately tucked in. Hazel and Frank shot him bewildered looks. Leo grinned lopsidedly, tapping his forehead knowingly. "You'll get all this fun as well, don't look so miserable." He grinned slyly. Hazel laughed nervously, Frank became highly invested in his meal. Louisa frowned at her husband, booting him under the table.

"Dick." She chided. Elsie gaped at her. "Don't repeat that."

"If they grow up to swear as much as you-" Leo began, faltering when she expectantly smirked at him. He fidgeted with his cutlery, grumbling wordlessly. "No cake." He eventually muttered.

"Oh no, the horror." Louisa deadpanned. "How ever will I cope? I've just realised somethin'."

"Thought I could smell burning."

"Fuck you. Don't repeat that either." She looked at Hazel and Frank, narrowing her eyes. "Yours is gonna be the most polite kid ever, ain't it? Gonna be sittin' fannin' their face 'n' trippin' over shit that ain't there- don't say that. I swear ta gods, Frank Zhang, if it turns into a snake at any point, I will kick ya ass- no ya can't say that one." Elsie pouted. "No swearin'." Louisa instructed seriously. Leo snorted. She kicked him again and called him a bitch.

Alokia chose that moment to chime in, splattering her plate of food on her head and giggling.

"Bitch!" She grinned.

"'N' thaaaaaaaaaat's my job done."

"Louisa, I'm going to kill you."

"Bitch, please."

"Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch!"

"Yeah, you're definitely not babysitting ours."

"Tragic."
