This is what I get for reading novel excerpts. Just for fun. I don't own Ghost Hunt. Remember to review!
Mai Davis could hear her children playing the main room of the SPR offices as she worked in the kitchenette to make the father of those children his tea. She felt a smile spread across her face as she heard Arianna and Brianna chattering at each other in a language only one year-olds could understand. She could also hear Gene attempting to tell them a story but from the way the girls were talking she knew they weren't listening to him. Her attention was turned towards the kettle when it whistled loudly to let her know the water had started boiling. She quickly pulled the kettle off the small stove. She poured the water into a teacup where a tea bag was currently resting. She knew Noll preferred tea leaves but they were currently out so he would have to make do with a teabag today.
She blinked as she heard a loud thump from the room where her children had been playing. She put the kettle down as worry formed in the pit of her stomach when she realized the room had gone silent. She moved away from the stove and moved into the other room. Her eyes widened when she saw that her son was standing just to the left of his father's door rubbing his forehead. Her eyes widened even more when he suddenly bowed very formally towards the wall.
"Sorry, wall-san!" she heard him say cheerfully. She blinked in surprise, and must have made a sound, as Gene was suddenly looking at her with a bright smile. The small red spot on his forehead told her he had obviously run into the wall.
"Hi, mama!" he said brightly. She smiled at him before tilting her head curiously.
"Hi, Gene. Were you apologizing to the wall?" she asked. He nodded with a bright smile on his face.
"Yeah! Uncle Gene said that dad always apologized to the walls when ran into them because it was the polite thing to do. I was showing the twins how to politely apologize when you run into a wall! See, watch!" the boy said as he turned back to the wall. Before Mai could stop her son from, once again, walking into the wall he had already done so. The only difference was that Noll had walked out of his office to also witness the event. Mai bit her lip as she watched his eyebrows raise as Gene once again bowed formally to the wall.
"Sorry again, wall-san!" he said brightly. Mai couldn't fight back her grin as Noll looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"It looks like Uncle Gene is telling stories on you again." she told him. His frown told her he wasn't amused by the fact.
"Wall-san! Wall-san!" Mai found she couldn't hold back her laughter as the twins began to chant the name Gene had given the wall. Her laughter became even louder as Noll just covered his face in response with his hand.
"Madoka, did he just—"
"Yes, Gene, yes he did. He apologized to the wall."
"Gene?"
"Yeah?"
"Stop telling my son these stories."
"No. Way."
The last, bolded, conversation is between Noll and Gene. Please review!
