Chapter Four
Snowgre was getting freaked out. The boys were going hyper and breaking things with their strength. He wondered if he should stop them before they got hurt but decided not to get involved. He'd made a big mistake giving them candy. They were horsing around and wrestling like their father. "I don't know what to do! I can't let them wreck the house or my cousin and Fiona will be mad!" he thought as he pulled the boys from each other. Mik then bit him in the hand. "Ow! That hurt man! I thought… you guys didn't have your teeth yet." He told them. He saw two or four pointed teeth in Mik's mouth and ten pointed teeth in Likaz's mouth. He got nervous about this. He then saw Mik lunge at him. He then heard his cell phone ring. He answered it. It was Fiona. "Hey Snowg! How're the kids? I hope they're not too much trouble." She said calmly. "I'm fine but Mik and Likaz are biting me, wrestling and breaking things in the house." He yelled at the phone.
"I'm sorry they're acting like that. Shrek taught them wrestling for defence. They must've gotten into the candy and are hyper. You just have to calm them down. Shrek normally tells them a story and within a few minutes, they're asleep." She told him calmly. "Whatever you do, don't tell Shrek. He'll think I screwed up or something, okay?" he told him. He then hung up the phone. He then saw Mik jump off the cabinet and caught him. He was getting angry. "THAT'S ENOUGH! You're going to calm down now or else!" he roared angrily. Mik and Likaz stopped and started crying. Xan was quiet. Snowgre then tried picking them up but they crawled away into their room unhappily. "Oh great! I… didn't mean to yell at them, I just lost my temper at them for no good reason." He said to Xan softly. She perked up. He tried to make the living room but it wouldn't work. He hoped his cousin wouldn't be too mad at him. As he was trying to fix a vase, Shrek came in through the front door. He wasn't happy. "I knew something like this would happen if we let him look after them. I told you that it wasn't a good idea!" he said to Fiona angrily. She saw the hurt in Snowgre's eyes as he left. Fiona sighed at this. "Honey it wasn't his fault. Your sons were going crazy and he couldn't handle them and he didn't want you to know." She told him. She watched as he went into their kids room. Xan was already asleep but Mik and Likaz were still awake and whimpering. He then started stroking them gently. "Let me guess Uncle Snowgre yelled at you?" he said to them softly. They nodded gently. "Daddy!" Mik said happily. Shrek couldn't believe this. "Fiona come here quick!" he yelled excitedly. She came in. She wondered what was wrong. "Mik's started to talk! Who am I?" Shrek told her. Mik then pointed at him. "Daddy!" he said happily. Fiona was ecstatic at this. "Good boy! I can't believe your first word was your father!" she said excitedly. They watched as their sons fell asleep. They then went back to their room. Fiona got into bed while Shrek was getting changed into his night clothes. He then got into bed beside her. "I can't believe I was his first word! It's too bad the others weren't around to hear it." He said as he fell asleep.
But they needed to teach them something about the outhouse like normal babies their age. But he was worried that they would be trouble doing toilet training because of their wild nature like their father.
The next day Donkey showed up with his kids. Fiona had gone out again and Shrek was watching the kids. "Hey man, what's going on?" he asked him curiously. "Fiona and I are going to teach the kids how to use the outhouse but I'm worried. Their wild nature might make things difficult. I wonder if you and Dragon had the same problem with this." He told Donkey. He understood. He watched as Mik started wrestling with some of Donkey's kids and biting with his pointed teeth. Donkey was nervous about this. "Don't worry, he doesn't really mean it. For kids like him, it's natural play. Also I've been teaching them wrestling moves to defend themselves from hunters." Shrek told him calmly. He understood and watched as the kids started playing rough. He laughed at this.
He hoped that it would be easy to train them or they were doomed…
