A/N: I totally did not post the wrong chapter yesterday. Okay I did. I mixed up the days I'm sorry but hey, at least today is Mistletoe!

There are two entries for mistletoe because I couldn't help myself! We have the zombabies again in this one. The other is a separate one shot with an amazing surprise with it. Check them both out!

Before anything else, Addison was a girl. She could talk about periods or bring a female athlete, she could usually tell when something was wrong with other girls, and she could definitely tell when someone had a crush. Especially when that someone was her thirteen year-old daughter, who both her and Zed has decided was too young to date still.

When Zenia asked to have a 'friend' over to study for midterms, Addison could see right through it. It was just any friend, it was Joshua Kelly. His older sister was in Addison's program and she'd met the whole family when they moved into town a few months before. Even though neither Zenia or Joshua cheered or danced or did any of that, they both hung around the entire summer.

Zenia wanted to study with him because she liked him. It didn't take a genius to figure that much out.

"The question is if we'll let it happen."

"Absolutely not," Zed stated. "No boys."

Addison rolled her eyes. "Zenia is thirteen. Thirteen! Do you know what I was doing at thirteen?"

"Being badly parented."

Addison narrowed her eyes at him. She pinched his arm warningly. "Watch it, mister."

"Sorry, sorry."

"Eighth grade was kinda awesome," Addison said. "I told you in seventh grade I was in two different relationships. Seventh grade. And then when I was fourteen, which might I remind you is not very long after I was thirteen, I met a certain Zombie."

"But you were fourteen! She's thirteen!"

Addison rolled her eyes. "They're gonna be studying," she reassured him. "We'll both be here, and Zander will be here too. Nothing will happen. Don't get your panties in a twist."

Zed frowned, then reluctantly nodded. "Okay, okay."

"Good." She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

Like everyday, Addison got home and found her husband and two kids there. Zed always picked them up from school (he wasn't owner/director so he didn't have to be there all day). Zed was making dinner and Zander was keeping him company in the kitchen, talking his ear off about his day. Zenia was in the living room, sitting on the couch and 'reading' her textbook.

"Hi Mom," she greeted when Addison got to her.

"Hey, How was school?"

Zenia shrugged. "Fine."

Addison could tell something was off, especially since she didn't want to make eye contact with her. Addison sat down beside her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zenia sighed, then whispered, "Dad is being all weird because Josh is coming over."

"To be fair your dad is always weird," Addison said.

Zenia cracked a smile. She closed her notebook in her textbook and moved it to the side. "Mom, he's really cute," she admitted. "And I just know Dad will be all weird or scare him off."

"I can take care of your dad," Addison assured her. "I've been doing it for…many years."

Zenia chuckled slightly. "I know you're old, you don't have to hide it," she teased.

"Do you want my help or not?"

Zenia nodded quickly.

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang and Addison assured her husband she would take care of it. When she got there, Zenia was already opening the door. Addison already knew Mrs. Kelly and she vaguely knew Joshua. She smiled at the both of them. "Hi Ashley, how are you?"

Mrs. Kelly (Ashley) smiled. "I'm doing great. Just here to drop off Joshua."

Joshua smiled up at Addison. "Hello Mrs. Necrodopolus, hi Zenia."

Addison grinned and stepped to the side. "Come on in. Will you be staying, Ashley?"

Joshua came inside and Zenia went about helping him out of his snow clothes. "No," Ashley said. "When is a good time to pick him up?"

Addison shrugged. "Eight? Eight thirty? Her brother goes to bed around nine and we kinda shut things down then anyway."

"Josh? How does eight thirty sound?"

"Sounds good Mom," Joshua said, not really paying attention.

"Okay, I'll see you them."

"Bye!" Addison waved then closed the door.

She turned her attention to the two teens. "Okay, dinner is six thirty so you guys can study in the living room until then." she said. "Alexander and Zed are in the kitchen which means you should stay away from there unless you don't wanna study."

"Thanks Mom," Zenia said.

Addison smiled and walked behind them as they moved to the living room. She glanced at the kitchen, seeing Zed watching them. She made a circular motion with her finger, urging him to turn back around. Zed held his hands up a defense and turned.

Addison returned her attention to the teens who were unpacking their books. "Okay, I will be in the kitchen just shout if you need something."

When Addison got into the kitchen, Zed turned to her quickly. "What're you doing!" he whispered harshly. "There's a boy in there with our thirteen year old daughter!"

Addison rolled her eyes. "They're studying," Addison assured him quietly. "We used to study!"

"We didn't study," Zed argued. "We…" He glanced at his son and Addison raised an eyebrow at him. "We did other things."

Zander looked up at him curiously. "What'd you do Daddy? Did it help you when you had your test?"

"No it didn't," Addison said pointedly. "Why else would be work for me."

Zander laughed at his father's misfortune. Zed just groaned in response. "I'm gonna go out there and—"

"No," Addison cut him off. "Why don't you take your son out to play in the snow?" She looked at Zander with a grin, watching his face light up.

"Zander is too—"

"I'll go put on my coat!" Zander exclaimed.

Zander shot up from his seat and ran to the coat closet. Zed sighed and frowned at his wife. "I don't want to leave Zenia here with him."

"I'll be here," Addison stated. "I'm a responsible parent! I can take care of my daughter, you know. Now go relax. Teach him to play football or something."

Zed bit his lip to keep from grinning. "Alright I guess."

"I'll watch your food too," Addison added. "Now go."

Zed and Zander stayed outside for a few hours until the sun started to set. Zander wasn't very good at football but it didn't matter because he was having fun with his dad, who had sent him on a mission once they got inside. Zed wasn't allowed to go bother the boy but Addison hadn't said anything about Zander.

"Hello."

Both teens looked up at the eleven year-old. Zenia frowned at him but Joshua smiled. "I'm Alexander," Zander greeted. "Zenia's brother."

"It's nice to meet you," Joshua said.

"I remember you this summer when I went to my parents' work," Zander said. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Joshua shrugged.

"You do know that we're a family of Zombies, right?" Zander asked. Zenia groaned and rolled her eyes. "I know it's not obvious because Zenia's blonde and tan and doesn't look a Zombie. And Mommy is human too. But Zenia has a Z-Band too."

"Zander, go away," Zenia warmed through gritted teeth.

"I know," Joshua said. "Zombies are fine. They're just like humans, ya know?"

Zander nodded along. "Okay. Another question."

"Oh my god," Zenia groaned.

"What're your grades like?"

"He gets As, now go away."

Addison walked into the living room and offer the teens a smile. She then turned her attention to her son. "Go finish your homework or go take a shower."

Zander went back into the kitchen and Addison offered apologetically. "Sorry, you can go back to studying."

"It wasn't a bother," Joshua said with a smile. "By the way, I love your decorations. I see the menorah and the tree and it's just so cool that you guys do both."

"Thank you," Addison said. "I would go into detail but midterms are important so I'll just head back into the kitchen."

At eight thirty exactly, Joshua got a text from his saying she was outside to pick him up. Zed and Addison watched from the stairs as Zenia walked him to the door.

"Thanks for all the help," Joshua said. "I feel a lot better about this now."

"It was nothing, you helped me too." Zenia said. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Okay." Joshua stood for a second and smile. He glanced up and said, "Oh, mistletoe."

Zenia nodded. "My parents are so cheesy. They put it up for an excuse to kiss each other when they leave in the morning."

"Your parents are kinda cool." Joshua said. "I gotta go now." He leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to her lips.

He opened the door and stepped out, sending a quick wave before rushing to his ride.

Addison was grinning from ear to ear. She looked at her husband and saw his fist clenched. Then, he mocked the action of pulling off his Z-Band.

She didn't have time to worry about him because Zenia squealed and bounded to her mother. Addison stood up and high fived her. "You go girl!" she exclaimed.
