Icyous.
Shrek smiled at this as the other fairy tale guys and Puss mingled and were having a good time. There was food and other things as well as candles all around. "This is ingenious! It's Christmas mixed with Hannukah! " he said happily. But somebody wanted to spoil the fun of the season. He had blue spiky hair, blue skin and pale blue lips. He'd been imprisoned in Yule Land's highest prison but Charming's hate had helped him escape. Snowgre was outside using his powers of ice and Winter to make it snow in the swamp. Icyous wanted to use him as his minion because of his powers but first he had to convince the younger ogre to join him.
He hid in a bush behind the young ogre's back. "Hello Snowgre!" he said coldly. He whirled around at his voice but was shocked to see him. "You're Icyous! My parents used to tell me stories about you at this time of year." He told him. Icyous smiled at this. "Do you like this time of year and never want it to end?" he said to Snowgre. "Yes I do. Being an ogre with wintry powers , I love this time of year but in the summer, I get ill." Snowgre told him. "I can make it happen if we join forces!" Icyous said to him. "Yeah but people like the other seasons like my cousin and I think that's the way it should stay." He told him. Icyous then grew very angry but cooled down. "It's okay. Why don't you think about it for a while and when you're ready, we'll talk!" he said as he disappeared in a swirly mist of snow. Snowgre did have one other wish besides making Winter stay.
It was to see his parents again. They'd been torn apart years ago but now he missed them. He then saw the first star come out in the night sky and smiled. "I wish I can be with my parents again." He said to it. Fiona had went outside for some air and heard this. She felt sorry for him. She then went inside hoping his wish would come true. She was still awake in bed. She couldn't get what Snowgre had said out of her head. She was waiting for Shrek to come back. He'd gone off with Snowgre to the North Pole for some reason. She was unaware h was delivering presents to teens around the world. Snowgre then crept in after she'd fallen asleep. He had a sack of gifts with him. He then put them under the Christmas stump. Fiona heard this and woke up and walked into the room. But Snowgre was already gone. "That's weird. I thought someone was here." She said as she went back to bed. It was dawn when Shrek climbed into bed. He then snuggled up nearer Fiona's body and kissed her on the lips before falling asleep.
It was mid afternoon when the couple woke up but Fiona ran into the outhouse and threw up. This had been happening a lot lately. They were in the middle of opening Chrstmas presents when she fainted with a huge THUD! Puss heard this and ran in. Later on the doctor's carriage showed up but that only flooded Shrek with worry. Fiona then rested on the bed. She decided to have a rest before Christmas dinner. Shrek then came in and sat down beside her. He then put a hand gently on her stomach and felt something kick against it. This sent a chill down his spine. He fainted. He landed near her stomach.
Puss then walked in. Shrek woke up screaming. "Why're you doing that for? You'd better stop before you wake your wife up! What's wrong?" he said to him. "I figured out what's wrong with Fi. She's pregnant!" he told him. "But that's good! Why are you worried senor?" he said as he listened. "Because she better not give birth to a girl. If that happens, then chaos is going to break out!" Shrek told him softly. "Why not a girl?" he said quietly. "If she gives birth to a girl, then her curse will transfer to her because of her genetics. If that happens, then it's best we not get attached to it if that happens because I don't want to lose my daughter or have her leave just because some spell affects her!" he told him. Puss saw worry in his friend's brown eyes and understood.
"I need you to promise me something!" Shrek told him. "Sure senor. What is it?" he asked. "I need you to not tell Fiona what we were talking about. It would only make her mad or upset her." He told him. "I promise!" he said. They then left the room quietly. Fiona's eyes then opened slowly. "I'm sorry you feel like that but maybe she won't be affected by the spell." She said softly to herself.
