Chapter Ten

"And that ends this chapter of the Campbell Bain's Loony Tunes show. Tune in tomorrow for some more craziness and, remember, we are loonies and we are proud!" Campbell said when he looked up at Marcy and she nodded that they were off the air. Smiling, Campbell looked at the picture of him and Logan that was taped to the mike and Logan was sitting on Campbell's shoulders. Removing the earphones, he placed the commercials on when he left the room and leaned on the wall, waiting for Marcy to come out of the booth. Peter seemed had to vanished as things started to return to some sense of normal but Campbell had noticed that something was still wrong. Marcy had become moody and would wake up in the morning, feeling sick.

"Mebbe she's still being harassed by Peter and doesnae want tae tell me," he thought as Marcy walked out of the booth and closed the door behind her.

"You ready tae go?" he asked as she walked by him and he frowned, pushing off the wall. He followed her down the hallway when he pushed the button for the lift and she looked at the program schedule in her hands. "You know, I think we should switch these two songs around."

"Eh?" she asked as she looked at him and blinked. "Och, Campbell, I'm sorry. Did you say something?"

"I said we should change these two songs around," he said as he pointed to the playlist and she nodded, making a note. The doors to the lift opened as they walked inside the lift and Campbell pushed the button. The doors closed as he looked at the numbers and rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet. "Ever wonder why there's no number thirteen."

"What?" she asked when he hit the emergency stop button and she gave him a slightly stunned look. "Why did you do that for?"

"Well, for one, you are ignoring me. What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong."

"Aye, there is."

"Campbell, push the button. I want tae go home."

"We are nae going anywhere until you tell me what's going on."

"Push the bloody button."

"No."

"You're fired."

"You cannae fire me."

"I can have you fired," she growled and he felt his heart sinking to his feet.

"You dinnae mean that."

"Push the button."

"What did I do?" he asked then slumped down on the floor and bent his knees up.

"I dinnae have time for this."

"Tell me what I did," he said and placed his head in his hands. "Please."

Marcy sighed as she looked at him when knelt down and saw he was shaking.

"Look at me."

"No," he said and started digging his fingers into his hair. She knew he tended to do that when he was depressed and she sat next to him, placing her arms around him. She moved his hands down then checked his fingernails for blood or hair and he breathed hard and fast through his nose.

"Hey," she whispered as she moved him closer and he placed his head on her shoulder. "I'm not mad at you."

"Then why have you been so cranky? Does it have anything to do with Peter? Has he been bothering you?" he asked when the emergency phone rang as he looked at the metal door and sighed, opening the door and picked up the receiver.

"Hello?" he asked as Marcy moved closer and he placed his arm around her.

"This is Gaz from Security. Is everything alright?" a voice asked and he looked at Marcy.

"Aye, guess I hit the wrong button."

"Well, do you mind pushing the right button? There's a queue of people waiting," the voice said then he heard a click and looked at Marcy.

"Guess he told me," he said, placing the receiver back then closed the metal door and they stood up. He pushed the button as he looked at the numbers and Marcy saw the look on his face. People looked at them with slightly angry looks as the lift doors opened and they walked out of the lift. "Hello, sorry aboot the delay." Marcy took his hand as they walked down the hallway and left the building.

Marcy watched Campbell and Logan as Campbell knelt near the bathtub and had a rubber duck sitting on the top of his head. Watching Campbell giving Logan a bath usually made her heart swell, but she couldn't bring herself to smile and sighed. Turning, she walked down the hallway when she walked into her bedroom then walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She opened the cabinet when she removed the box then looked at the back and frowned. The last time she bought what was in the box was four years ago and she leaned against the counter, closing her eyes tightly.

"Right, let's get this over with," she said when she walked to the toilet and opened the box.

"Campbell?" Logan asked while Campbell tucked the duvet around him then sat on the edge of the bed and brushed back some of his hair.

"Aye?" he asked.

"Do you love Mummy?" Logan asked and Campbell gave him a wide grin.

"Aye, I do."

"Do you want tae marry her?" he asked and Campbell felt his heart jump in his chest.

"Would you like me tae marry her?" he asked as Logan nodded and Campbell smiled. "Well, like I told you before, it's really up tae her. Now, snuggle down and go tae sleep."

Standing up, Campbell kissed the top of Logan's head as Logan closed his eyes and Campbell walked to the door. Turing around, he looked at Logan when he sighed and turned the light off. Walking down the hallway, he looked at the picture of the three of them while his reflection looked back at him and he blinked. Sighing, he walked into his bedroom as he closed the door and the light came on under the door.

Marcy's eyes were red as she sniffed then rolled onto her left side, grabbing hold of the pillow. The moonlight from the bathroom window shined down on the white stick that was sitting next to the box in the trashcan and a plus sign sat in the little display window.
