"they haven't made a peep..." Heinz said.
"I'll check on them." Perry said. they split. Perry had just picked Isabelle up when there was a knock on the door. "alright then come one." Perry said carring Isabelle. he opened the door and smiled. "you must be James. come on in." Perry said. James walked in.
"yeah i'm James. who's this?" James ask reaching for the baby. Perry felt his protective instincts take over.
"this is Isabelle." Perry replied moving back away from James. a crying caught Perry's attention. "the living room is that way." Perry said before running off to get Michael. James sat on the living room couch and Vanessa came in not long later.
"hey Vanessa, I didn't know you had a little brother. he's adorible." James said.
"James I'm an only child." Vanessa replied. James gave her an odd look.
"then you've got a random person here. short, teal hair, and carring a baby names Isabelle. got real protective of her when I tried to hold her, I was afraid the little guy would drop her." James said.
"oh no he's not random. his name is Perry." Vanessa replied. a moment later Perry came in with both twins. "hey how come you wouldn't let him hold Isabelle?" Vanessa ask.
"I will let any stranger in to a house but I will never let any stranger touch my neice and nephew." Perry replied handing her both twins.
"ok so your not her brother, but your their uncle. who are you?" James ask.
"Perry." Perry replied with a curt nod.
"no I mean to them." James said. Perry's eyebrows furrowed.
"to Vanessa and Heinz, Perry. to the twins Uncle Perry." Perry said.
"are you family, are you a nanny?" James ask.
"I am not a nanny!" Perry exclaimed. "more like a live in baby sitter." Perry mumbled. Perry walked away. "the nerve!" Perry said.
"who is it thats got you riled up?" Heinz ask.
"James. the nerve of him! he called me a nanny!" Perry exclaimed. Heinz rolled his eyes.
"well your no nanny. now come on. I finally found the movies." Heinz said.
"awesome!" Perry exclaimed. they walked back into the living room. "so what is this Christmas movie again?" Perry ask.
"well it's more of a Halloween movie but it's a good one." Vanessa commented. Heinz sat down.
"the Nightmare before Christmas." Heinz replied. Perry sat down the jumped back up.
"Perry where are you going?" Vanessa ask.
"your dad's burning the popcorn I can smell it." Perry replied. Heinz got up and raced after him.
"not the popcorn!" Heinz complained.
"so, really, who is that guy?" James ask.
"who, Perry?" Vanessa ask. James nodded. "he's one of my dad's friends." Vanessa replied. they came back in a few minutes later.
"and then you pour butter on it and it's good." Perry explained as they waslked in.
"really?" Heinz ask looking shocked. Perry nodded.
"Phineas and Ferb are quiet the masters of burnt popcorn." Perry replied. Heinz laughed.
"what are you two talking about?" Vanessa ask.
"a way to make burnt popcorn taste good." Heinz replied. they handed out the bowls.
"hey this is good." Vanessa said surprized. Perry shrugged with a smile. they ate popcorn and watched. Vanessa, Heinz, and even James explained the movie to Perry.
"thats the 'boogey man'?" Perry ask raising an eyebrow. "and children are actually scared of that thing?" Perry ask. Vanessa laughed.
"thats the Oogie Boogey man. it's Tim Burtons veiw of the Boogey man." Vanessa replied. Perry nodded. by this time he was snuggled up to Heinz and watching the movie.
"interesting point of veiw." Perry said. Heinz chuckled. they finished the movie.
"how'd you like it Perry?" Heinz ask. Perry thought a moment.
"who ever 'Tim Burton' is, he should be put into the 4th floor (where I live the fourth foor of the hospital is the psyco/crazy ward)." Perry said. "but the movie was good." Perry added with a shrug.
"what next?" Vanessa ask.
"the Grinch." Heinz said.
"excuse me for asking, and I think I may regret this, but what's a Grinch?" Perry ask. Heinz shook his head and pushed him off. he stood up and put the movie in.
"well, it's more of a Who than a what. they all live in Whoville." Vanessa explained. Perry was throughly confused.
"a who?" Perry ask.
"yeah, you know, Dr. Seuss." James said. Perry tilted his head in confusion.
"Dr. who?" Perry ask. James sighed and slapped his forehead.
"what do you live under a rock? are you thick or supid or something? any idiot knows Dr. Seuss." James ask. Perry actually looked hurt. he bit his lip to keep from saying the words on the tip of his tongue.
"James, I think it's time you left." Vanessa said. he stood and flung his arms out exasperated, accidently hitting Vanessa. Perry was up in a flash. he was angry. he glared at James, causing his black eye to twitch slightly.
"here allow me to show you to the door." Perry said. he grabed James by the back of his neck and took him to the door. he opened it and threw James. "come back when you learn some manners!" Perry exclaimed. he closed the door looking quiet happy with himself. "so whats a Grinch?" Perry ask again. Vanessa stood shocked with a smile on her face, while Heinz laughed.
"just watch thats what the movie is about." Vanessa said. Perry nodded and sat back on the couch.
"your ok right?" Perry ask looking at Vanessa. "your bleeding." Perry said nodded his head towards her arm where James had hit. Vanessa waived it off.
"it's just a scratch." Vanessa said. Perry looked unsure but nodded. "dad can we talk in the kitchen real quick?" Vanessa ask giving him a look. Heinz nodded and Perry watched them leave. "dad I don't care if it's too early in the relations ship or if you even thought of this, but marry him. he treats me like one of his own and you do the same with Phineas and Ferb. marry him." Vanessa said. Heinz gaped at her.
"I can't bring that up! not only is it too early in the relation ship but it is to sudden and illegal!" Heinz exclaimed. they continued like that a minute before Vanessa gave up, her father could be really stubborn when he wanted to be. they went back to the living room where Perry was waiting patiently, entertaining the twins.
"hey give that back." Perry laughed. he reached for his hat only to have Michael fling it and Isabelle take it. "alright this isn't a game. give me my hat." Perry laughed. he finally got his hat back and placed it back on the table putting his inhaler and phone back inside it. "you guys are getting to be real bratts." Perry said. he turned when he heard a chuckle.
"fighting with babies? shame on you Perry." Vanessa joked.
"gotta have somebody to fight with and hey once you fight with babies, as they say, you've faught with the world." Perry said. they sat down to watch the movie. Perry actually enjoyed the movie, mostly because after the movie the babies sounded like they were doing Grinch impressions. Perry was going through stuff in his and Heinz's room looking for the presents he'd bought the boys and came across a book, but no presents. "hey Heinz you haven't seen two packages make Phineas and Ferb have you?" Perry ask.
"figured they were Christmas presents since they were wrapped. they are under the tree." Heinz replied. Perry nodded happy at least some one knew where they were.
"hey whatcha got there Perry?" Vanessa ask.
"oh I found this on the shelf while looking for the presents i lost. it says 'A visit from St. Nicholas, who ever that is." Perry said. Vanessa and Heinz gaped at him. "what?" Perry ask.
"St. Nicholas is Santa! you've never heard of Santa?" Vanessa ask. Perry thought a moment then nodded.
"never heard him called St. Nicholass before though." Perry said.
"open it up and read it. i'm sure that even though they wont understand it the twins would love it." Vanessa said. so Perry did.
"'Twas the night before Christmas-" Perry started. "who the hell says 'twas?" Perry ask. Vanessa and Heinz laughed.
"just keep reading." Heinz said.
"when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." Perry stared at the book in disbelief before he shook his head. "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there- wouldn't the stockings catch fire?" Perry ask. Heinz laughed.
"come on read the story." Vanessa huffed. Perry shrugged and sat down.
"The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. with ma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash." Perry read. "the hell? don't go look out the window call the police it's probably a burgler." Perry said.
"Perry!" Vanessa laughed. Perry shrugged again.
"The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer. With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick. wait how the heck do you know the driver is old?" Perry ask.
"Santa has been around for hundreds of years." Vanessa replied.
"and you people let this man near your children. he's a criminal! he breaks into your house and leave's things for your kids that he 'magically' knows they wanted, he has them sit on his lap and he gives them candy. he's a pervert!" Perry exclaimed.
"anybody sounds bad when you explain them that way!" Heinz laughed. Perry shook his head.
"More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: 'Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!'- somebody has a real problem if he must repeat things three times." Perry commented. Heinz laughed again, having Perry read this was hilarious.
