Beetlejuice flew back to the Roadhouse and burst in.
"Mon Dieu!" Jacques said startled. "Bea-ttlejuice we 'aven't seen you et Lydia for months. Where 'ave you been n'est-ce pas?" He asked.
"Yeah, what's happening, we were worried sick." Ginger said.
"Lydia gave birth to a girl, she's perfect, her name is Breana." He said in a hurry as he rushed into his bedroom.
"Wait Bea-ttlejuice!" Jacques called.
"Busy Jacques, it'll have to wait." He yelled back into the Living-Dead room. He looked into the mirror and could have wept with joy when he saw Chuck in her mirror. He was sitting on her bed and holding a picture of her.
"Hey Chuck don't freak!" Beetlejuice said before Charles could even look up. He looked into the mirror and saw the ghost that had taken his daughter away. He wasn't afraid, but very angry.
"You!" He yelled.
"Look, I don't have time for this. Lydia had her baby and she wants to see both you and Delia." Beetlejuice yelled back. Charles took a second before he understood.
"Lydia had her baby? She's okay?" He asked.
"Yes and yes, does Delia want to see her?"
"I think so, let me get her." Charles said and dashed from his daughter's room. "Delia," He screamed.
"What is it Charles?" She asked from the kitchen. He ran in the room faster than he thought was possible.
"It's Lydia, she had her baby. Come on, let's go." He said pulling her arm.
"Wait Charles, do we really want to see her? I mean, after what she did,"
"Delia, she's my daughter and she needs us. I know you love her too. It's time to put the pride away and go see her." He said forcefully. Delia took a moment, surprised at Charles forcefulness. She had never seen him like this. Deep down she had missed the little gothic girl that she had raised. She swallowed her pride and nodded. They raced back up to Lydia's room where Beetlejuice had been pacing back and forth waiting for them to come back.. When he saw them burst into the room he nearly cried with relief.
"Okay so how do we get over there?" Charles asked.
"First you need to know my name, my real name." He said.
"Okay, what is it?" Delia asked.
"I can't tell you."
"But,"
"Can you play charades?"
"Of course." Charles said.
"Good, it's," Beetlejuice snapped and made a large beetle and a glass of orange juice appear. Delia and Charles looked at the objects and both turned their heads to the side.
"Beetle..orange?" Delia asked. Beetlejuice shook his head, desperate.
"Beetle...juice?" Charles asked.
"Yes!" Beetlejuice said. "Now say though I know I should be weary."
"Though I know I should be weary." Delia and Charles said in unison.
"Still I venture someplace scary."
"Still I venture someplace scary." Delia reached out to grab Charles' hand.
"Ghostly Hauntings I turn loose."
"Ghostly Hauntings I turn loose."
"Now say my name three times." Beetlejuice said. Delia and Charles looked at each other.
"Beetle...juice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice." They stammered. In the next instant they were in the room with Beetlejuice.
"Great, we don't have a lot of time so let's go." He said heading for the door.
"Wait, you mean Lydia isn't here?" Delia asked.
"No, she's at my parents house." Beetlejuice said motioning them to follow him. They walked hand in hand after him and Charles let out a startled cry when he saw the skeleton and giant spider.
"Bea-ttlejuice, what is going on?" Jacques demanded.
"Look, I don't have time for this, just come along." He said running a hand through his hair making it stand on end. They all just nodded mutely. Charles and Delia sat huddled together while they were in the car.
Once they had arrived back at Beetlejuice's parents house they had become a bit more relaxed. He opened the door to see his father sitting on the couch.
"There you are." Gnat said. "We wondered what took you so long."
"Pops, this is Charles and Delia, Lyd's parents." He said. Gnat got up and extended his hand.
"You have a very special daughter." He said. Charles looked up at the huge ghost and slowly put out his hand.
"Thank you."
"Is Lyds still asleep?" Beetlejuice asked.
"Yes, your mother just went up to go check on her." Beetlejuice nodded and motioned for Charles and Delia to come up. "You two stay here for a moment." He said to Jacques and Ginger. They nodded and sat down with Gnat. Beetlejuice slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Junior, where'd you go?" Bea asked then she saw Charles and Delia slowly walk in after him she understood.
"Hi I'm Bea, Junior's mother." She said holding out her hand. They grasped the small woman's hand and looked at Lydia who was sleeping soundly. "You're granddaughter's over there, she's the image of Lydia." She said before stepping out of the room. Charles and Delia looked over at the small basinet and peaked inside. There was a pale little girl, sleeping soundly. Charles felt like it was deja-vu she looked so much like Lydia when she was born.
"Lyds, Babes someone's here to see you." Beetlejuice said softly stroking her hair. Lydia slowly opened her eyes and smiled to see Beetlejuice next to her. He nodded his head over and she turned to see her father and Delia standing next to the bed. She smiled and slowly lifted herself up.
"I didn't think you guys would come." She said. Charles bent down and hugged his daughter so hard she squeaked.
"We've missed you so much Lydia." He said.
"I've missed you guys too." She said as she hugged her father. Delia stood next to the bed. Lydia reached out her hand to hold her stepmother's. "Both of you." She said looking at Delia.
"Oh Lydia, I know that I haven't been the best to you, I was trying to mold you into what I thought you should be. I know that you aren't that and I'm sorry." She said crumbling. Lydia nodded and when her father let her go, she hugged Delia.
"I know Delia, it's all right." She said. Beetlejuice lifted his small daughter so Charles and Delia could see her.
"This is Breana, your new granddaughter." He said, his chest puffing out with pride. Delia broke her hug with Lydia and went to take her granddaughter from Beetlejuice.
"She's absolutely gorgeous Lydia." The small baby opened her eyes and began to cry. Lydia just laughed and held out her arms.
"I suppose she's hungry now. If you don't mind I'd like some privacy." She said to her father and Delia. They nodded and backed out of the room.
"We'll see you in a little bit Pumpkin." Charles said. Lydia nodded and took Breana from Delia. Beetlejuice shut the door quietly after they left and looked at his new daughter and her mother.
"What a day huh?" She said lifting her shirt so her daughter could eat.
"Can't even begin to describe it. Jacques and Ginger are downstairs as well. They're dying to see you." He said sitting on the bed next to her. "Lydia, I love you so much,"
"I love you too Beej."
"Wait a sec Lyds," He said holding up his hand. She nodded. "I always knew I wanted to do this, but I thought now was as good of time as any." He said and reached for her hand. "Lydia will you marry me, make us a real family?" He said and held out a platinum ring that held one perfect emerald cut ruby surrounded by sparkling diamonds that spilled out into a 'V' and traveled down the sides of the ring. Lydia smiled and pulled him into her.
"Oh Beej, it's beautiful. Yes, of course I'll marry you Beej, I've been hoping forever that you'd ask me." She said. He slide the ring onto her finger and sighed with relief and touched his forehead to hers. They sat there, father, mother and daughter and timed seemed to stop.
