New chapter everyone! I need more ideas, please! Can some people give me ideas in reviews?
Artemis thought for a moment that he was in the wrong room when he walked in to find Anna-Maria sitting on the sofa, knitting. He raised an eyebrow at Holly, who was beside her, holding balls of yarn. "Don't ask me, Mud Boy. I'm as surprised as you are."
"Darling, you knit? Since when?" He asked.
"I looked online and figured out how to do it. I thought the twins would enjoy something made by their mother."
"With love in every stitch?" Holly guessed.
"No, there's yarn in every stitch."
Holly would have hit her head against the wall, but she settled for the armrest. "Only five months left, thank Frond."
"Holly, sit straight! You're going to let the yarn tangle up!"
"Why did I volunteer of all the officers in Section Eight and the LEP to observe and make sure Anna-Maria's first pregnancy went normally? Please remind me."
"Because you are a close companion of both Anna-Maria and me – and you wanted to be the twins' godmother, protecting them from the start." Artemis replied, smiling smugly.
"And who's supposed to protect me from Anna-Maria's hormonal imbalances?"
"You're on your own on that."

"What…is…that?"
"Artemis! It's a pair of booties, can't you tell?"
"No, not even remotely."
"Try turning your head to one side."
Artemis did so. "They're crooked, and their soles are completely flat. I thought you said you had it all figured out."
"I did. Holly made these; I made this sweater." She held it up and showed him.
"Well, the sleeves may be a bit long, but it's better than the booties."
"Hey! It was my first try, Mud Boy!" Holly exclaimed.
"Very well. Anna-Maria, what did you make on your first try?" He asked.
She held up another sweater. "I knit this one for you. This shade of blue matches your eyes perfectly."
Artemis studied it. "So it does, but I think it would be more suitable for Butler than me."
"What makes you say that?"
He looked down for a moment. Anna-Maria followed his gaze. "Well, for one thing, even though you are holding it at shoulder height, the hem is trailing on the floor."
"Oh. So it is."
Holly cracked up and replayed the whole thing on her camera. "At least Butler finally has something specially made for him by someone he's close to. Next time, make sure you have the right male's measurements!"
Anna-Maria tossed the gigantic sweater over the fairy and her camera lens. "And next time, make sure your camera lens can see through wool."

Artemis turned to leave as soon as he saw Anna-Maria pick up her knitting needles. "Artemis, get back here please!"
He sighed and turned back. "Do you need something, dear?"
"Artemis, how do I tell Mom I don't want to knit?"
"Mother told you to knit?"
"It was a suggestion." She replied, picking at a crooked stitch. "But frankly, I stink at it. Can we go out? I feel like playing soccer or maybe basketball."
"In this condition? I'd feel more comfortable if you stuck to knitting during this time."
Anna-Maria raised an eyebrow but continued to work on her knitting. "Artemis?"
"Hmm?"
"I just knit a sweater without a neck-hole."
Sorry for the really short chapter, I just really need some ideas! So, please, please, review!
