Murdoc lit up a cigarette and started to hang up some of the streamers. "God I hate this fucking color". 2-D finally got up from lying on the floor for a few moments. "Whats wrong with the color yellow?" he asking knowing that was the wrong thing to ask. " I mean its the color of daisys and ...sunshine!" 2-D stated while hugging himself warmly. "Exactly meh point" Murdoc replies snobbishly. "We're back!" Russel called as he and Noodle entered the lobby. "OH! What did ya get?" asked Murdoc as he tried to taste the frosting on the side of the box, but before he could Russel slapped his hand away. "What?" Murdoc yelled. "No way Muds... we got a special cake for you." replied Russel. Murdoc snatched his cake from Russels big hands. "Its about time I got treated with respect around here." Murdoc stated with a smartass look on his face as he and gang entered to kitchen. He sat down and he opened the cake box. Low and behold inside, there was a cake... just not what he expected it to be. "What the hell is this?!" Murdoc asked with frustration in his raspy voice. "Its carrot cake... not only deluicious but healthy for you." Russel said giving him two thumbs. It was silent for a moment. 2-D just lingered over Murdoc. He really did love carrot cake. Murdoc's face turned an even darkershade of green. "If its so good, then you eat it... I want some real cake." Murdoc said pretty much throwing the box in Russel's face and stormed out to hang up the remaining streamers. 2-D nearly gasped when the precious cake was in mid air. "NO!... I'll take it!" 2-D dove at the cake. "Go ahead D' you need to put on some wieght, so make sure you have some more cake at the party." Russel said with a chuckle. "I'll leave some for Muds" 2-D said as he pulled out a paper plate. "Those chest pains can't be any good." he aslo said with a mouth full of cake and creamcheese icing. Noodle looked at 2-D with a raised eyebrow. "What chest pains?" she asked with a concerned look on her face. Russel gave 2-D the eye. They were suppose to keep that hush-hush in front of her. "What's wrong with Murdoc-san?" Noodle asked with a trembling voice. "Sorry baby girl, we didn't want to SAY --ANYTHING IN -FRONT -OF -YOU ( Russel yells in 2-D direction)" Russel replied, he shakes his head. "Sit down Noods" 2-D said, as he guides her to the table. "Murdoc has been having some chest pains for the past three weeks." Russel said out flatly. Noodle's eyes widened. "Why didn't anyone tell me! I'm I not part of this family!" Noodle said furiuosly. "It was Murdoc's idea love... guess he didn't want to worry you."2-D replied sweetly while rubbing her shoulder. "You were'nt the only one girl, me and D' just found out earlier this week" Russel said. Noodle gets up and just stares at Murdoc in the lobby from the kitchen doorway."I won't say anything, but this is not going to end well..." Noodle said very low.
It took a few hours, but everything was ready for the party. "Well I'm going to go get her.." Murdoc said and went to wake up the birthday girl. Her bedroom door was left open ajar; as usual; and he slowly stepped in. There was no more crib, but in place of it was a toddler bed fit for a princess. Murdoc went up to the side of the bed and gently sat down, so gently not to wake her right away. He had a huge smile on her face. Emily was sleeping so soundly, with her arms up towards her face, her hands up in little fists, snuggling with her stuffed panda bear, now that she could talk she named it Ba Ba. "She just too cute for her own good, she definitly gets it from meh". Murdoc though tto himself as he began to rub her belly like when she was a baby. Emily stirred a bit, then slowly opened her eyes. "Hey sweetheart... time to get up Babe, your party guests will be here soon." Murdoc said sweetly as he leaned in to give her a kiss on her not-yet-really- awake face. Murdoc slowly picked her up while she rubbed her sleepy eyes with her tiny fists, and he took her up to the lobby.
He plopped her on the couch in 2-D's lap, giving her a better chance to wake up. "Soo, Murdoc-san we finally get to meet your family" Noodle pipped up. "Unfortunitely" Murdoc replied under his breath. All of a sudden there was a loud knock at the door. "I'll get it" said Russel as he waddled up to the door and opened it. "Hey... supp... Murdoc! whats up Bro!" yelled a very scary looking man. Murdoc's eyes widened. "I can't believe it..." Right in front of him was a man probably about in his early fifties, dark sunglasses, skinhead, leather jacket, with the sleave ripped off, snakeskin boots with spures at the heels, and two huge tattoos one on each arm. One was the classic I HEART MOM, the other was a beautiful Chinese Dragon wrapping around his huge bicep. "Hannibal!.. where the hell have you been Bro!" Murdoc yelled as he embraced him in one of those manly hugs. "Ya know, same ol'same ol'... wouldn't miss my own niece's birthday... hey where is the lil' one anyway... let meh get through... let meh meet my new neice!" Hannibal started to search the lobby. "Ahh... this must be her..." Hannibal answered himself and walked over to the couch. There she was snuggling up with Ba Ba. Murdoc went over and leaned over the back of the couch rubbing the top of Emily's head. Hannibal knelt down in front of his niece kind of startling her for a moment. She was extremely shy in front of new people. "Ello there Poppet..." He said to her sweetly whilst taking off his sunglasses. Revealing that he himself had mismatched eyes, one red ,one black, just like her father. She gasped from this and hid her face in her panda's belly. "Awww. Poppet, don't be shy around meh... I'm yer ol' Uncle Hans...( he titled his head to the side)...okay I'll leave ya alone." He goes to where his brother is. "Oh my Satan Muds... she is gorgious!" Murdoc sticks his chest out in pride. "I know" he replied with a gloat. Hannibal glances over at her again, who is playing with 2-D on the couch and is just giglling her little head off. "Look at those cheeks... thats too cute... she reminds me of you when you were her age, but that that centuries ago!" Hannibals chuckles in a raspy voice just like Murdoc. Murdoc slowly stops smirking. "Hey!... I never had chubby cheeks like that!" he says with a stern look on his face. Hannibal rolls his eyes. "OH, yeah ya did Muds, big puffy cheeks, only... now that I think about it, yers were a little bit chubbier then hers." Murdoc's face turns red. "Fuck off!" Hannibal just laughs and walks over to meet the rest of the band.
"You must be Hannibal?... right?" Russel asked while giving him a strong handshake. "In the flesh" Hannibal replied with a smirk. "Hello... I'm Noodle-san" Noodle gave him a gracious bow then a handshake. Hannibal looked confused, then he got it. "Oh... yer one of them China people!" 2-D,and Russel's jaws dropped. Murdoc came over at this point "She's Japenese mate..." he whsipered to him... "OH!...my bad!" he replied. Noodle did not give him a nice face. "MM UM" was all she said before she stomped off to the snacks table. "Hey Muds... wheres that retart yet were tell'n me about." Hannibal said very loudly. 2-D slowly turned to face him. "Oh there you are!... supp man... great voice you got there, own both of yer CD's...love it!" Hannibal says before plopping down on te couch next to Emily. Hannibal puts his feet up on the table. Emiyl stares up at him, and he glances down at her "What's up Babe?" she looks back at the TV, and says "Blue Clue.." (baby talk for Blues Clues ; ) ) "Awesome..." he replied to her and watched to screen. "Hey uhhh, Muds got any beer?... I mean I thought this was a party man!" he calls over to him. "Yeah... its in the fridge man, help yerself." Murdoc replys as he plops down on the other side of the couch. Noodle was getting really ticked off at this point.
"This is suppose to be a toddler's birthday party, you should not have beer here Murdoc-san" Noodle said in anger. "Calm down Noods... my family likes to drink, don't worry I won't get pissed drunk tonight" he replied as Hannibal tosses him a beer and plopps back down on the couch. Then all of a sudden there was another knock at the door. "I got it!" 2-D then rushed over to the door, only to be greeted by a metal cane right in the kisser. "Ow!' he cries out loud. "Murdoc!... were are ya boy!" yelled a loud freeble voice. Hannibal and Murdoc's eyes widened. "Yo!... you invited Nana Niccals!" Hannibal quickly glances at Murdoc "I had to, she is a Great Grandmother now!" Murdoc yelled in defense. "Where's my Grandbaby!" yelled Nana, as she waddled in on her cane and knitted wool sweater. 2-D followed behind rubbing his cheek in pain, Noodle quickly pulled him to the snack table to put ice on his face. Both Murdoc and Hannibal stood up to greet there long lost grandmother. "Here I am Nana.." Murdoc said as he was tightly hugged by her, all you could hear was Murdoc's back crack loudly. "Whoa... Nana... you have been work'n out uh?" Hannibals joked behind her. She dropped Murdoc who was now crippled as much as her. "Hans?... is that you honey?" she slowly turned around. He shyly waved his fingers at her. "Oh!... both of my garndchildren! here with meh once again" she pulled them both very close. Just long enough for Russel to rush over a sneak a snap shot of the sentimental moment. As soon at the flash was gone Nana's face went from loving to sour. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN! YOU DON'T EVEN CALL YOUR POOR OLD NANA TO SEE HOW SHE IS DOING AND YOU DON'T EVEN VISIT!!!! SOME GRANDSON'S YOU TWO TURNED OUT TO BEH!!!" then she bopped the both of them on their heads. "Some ol' Nana..." Murdoc whispered while rubbing his now sore mop top. Just as 2-D went back over to shut the door; which he forgot to do earlier, the door was again slammed into his face, by two dark looking women. 2-D then passed out on the floor.
"Hello Murdoc, Hello Hannibal" the two women said in unison. It was Muds and Hans twin cousins Lilith and Isis."Ello girls, come give yer favorite cousin a big hug." Hans held out his arms. "Actually we'll save our hugs for Little Emily" replied Isis. "Yes, yes.. where is the little darling!" pipped in Nana. "She's on the couch" replied Murdoc as he lead them to the couch. Bad move. The all hovered over her pinching her cheeks, and cooing in her face. All these strange people made Emily very nervous, and she had tears well up into her eyes, then all of a sudden "Wahhh!" she had tears streamming down her chubby cheeks "Hey, I thing she sprung a leak!" Hans called to his bro. Murdoc dropped what he was doing and rushed to pick her up only to be beat by his own Nana. She had swooped her up into her arms. "Awww. its alright Poppet... Nana's here..." she hushed the baby, and Emily slowly stopped crying. Murdoc was speechless, normally he was the only one that could calm her down. Emily then started to dose off in her arms just like when she was an infant. "Thanks Nan" Murdoc said to her as Emily was placing into his arms. "I've been around for a while honey,... I know how to handle the lil' ones." Nana replied. Emily snuggled up in her daddy's shoulder. "I'm gonna lay her down, I think all this excitement has tired her out." with that Murdoc but her in her bed for another nap.
When he came back in everyone was sitting around the TV. "What did I miss?' he asked as he sat down next to Noodle on the Love seat. Then he gasped. Right on the telly was a shot of Murdoc and Emily sleepnig on the couch. In fact it was the first day they met. "What the..." 2-D then said "Yeah Muds, I tapped you... and you slept through the whole thing!" eveyone started to laugh, except for Murdoc. "You fucking..." Murdoc yelled with his face beet red. "Run for it man!" yelled Russel, 2-D then dropped his snack plate and Murdoc chased him around the Lobby for a bit. "Oh Murdoc... that enough Rubbish for one day..." Nana said while shakin her head. "Come over here for a moment. Murdoc obeyed and stood right in front of her. She looked him up and down then said., "Your getting fat.." Murdoc's jaw dropped. "What?" Hannibal was trying desperatley to hold in his choking laugher. "What the bloody hell are you laughing at?!" Murdoc yelled. Then all of a sudden Nana started poking at Murdoc's belly fat. "Do some sit ups for Christ sake..." she said loudly. Murdoc was getting fed up. "Its Baby fat Nan... Baby fat.." Murdoc patted his stomache. Nana just shook her head. "Time for some Cake!" Russel called from the kitchen.
