Opening Statement: Chapter 4 everybody! And again there's a time skip, though a bit further this time, about a week. Now before you guys think that means this story is going to end soon, guess again! I am skipping ahead so get Alvin and Brittany home sooner, not to cut out some of the fun stuff that's going on in their life. Anyway let's get cracking shall we?
Disclaimer: Same thing, go to Chapter 1 for full disclaimer. Though the OC's of Nathan, Kris, Cleo, Julian, Amani, Zack and Silas all belong to me
Brittany and Alvin glanced around, sighing as they packed their bags, they'd had a wonderful honeymoon, despite Brittany's pregnancy sometimes getting in the way of things, but the previous night Alvin had made his mind up on their staying for another week. Before he drifted off, he heard Brittany sobbing in her sleep, and being the good husband he was he waited to see if she'd slip any hints as to what made her so upset, only to feel his heart nearly shatter upon her saying that she wanted to be home, not in some other country without anyone else to support her. Brittany knew Alvin would support her, he had done nothing but since they found out, but there comes a time when your husband just isn't enough and you need family. For that reason the two were taking a last look around their honeymoon suite before they gathered their things and, with Ian, checked out and left the hotel.
"Alvie, are we making the right choice? Not in coming home mind you, but in taking economy over first class," Brittany asked, Alvin glancing at their tickets and groaning, "Man! I knew I fucked up somewhere... oh well, the ticket is paid for so we may as well get to our seats." Alvin said, as Ian checked in their luggage and boarded the plane with Alvin and Brittany. Shortly after getting to their seats, Alvin glanced to his left and gasped, there right next to them was... James Suggs, "Oh come on! What are the odds!?" Alvin asked, James swiftly turning and glaring at the red clad chipmunk, "You... you ruined my li-"
"Alright sir, I believe you're in my seat," Ian said, having noticed Suggs from a distance and deciding to keep the peace, James merely grumbling to himself, "I'm an Air Marshal, I can sit where I want!" James shouted, Ian unfazed by this, "Really? And if I were to tell your boss that you were mistreating a pregnant woman and her husband during a flight you'd get no flack for it?" Ian asked, James's expression changing from anger to confusion, "Pregnant... wait, you mean-" "HELLO! Do you really think I just got fat?!" Brittany screamed, James backing up and then chuckling, "My apologies ma'am, I wasn't aware of your condition... I'll be moving to my new seat," James said, swiftly moving to a different seat and allowing Ian to take the seat himself, Alvin giving his producer a grateful smile.
"Thanks Ian, I don't know what I would've done if James there had have tried to hurt Brittany," Alvin said, Ian offering a fist bump to Alvin before smiling at the two chipmunks, "I'm Uncle Ian, I got your back anytime Alvin, same for you Britt," Ian said, Brittany nodding and then groaning slightly, since the week had passed, her and Alvin's pups had become a lot more active, to the point that it was a nearly timely event, one that she both loved and hated, loved because it let her know that her pups were growing strong, but hated because it wouldn't just be one pup but all of them kicking in succession, which started to make a dull ache in her abdomen. Several hours later the plane landed in California, and Ian retrieved his car from the lockup and drove Alvin and Brittany home, though once there they found nobody home, apparently everyone gone to some other errand, "I think we may just be a pleasant surprise, don't you Britt?" Alvin asked, as Ian dropped their luggage off in their room and then left himself.
(hours later, the homecoming of the family)
"Alright guys, good job with that concert-" Dave got cut off by his cellphone ringing, the ID showing Alvin's face on the caller, and so he quickly answered, "Hey Dad, how's things at home?" Alvin asked, Dave shrugging his shoulders a bit, "Well, we just got home from a concert and-" "I know Dave, turn around," Alvin cut in, Dave turning and gasping when he saw his son standing at the door, Brittany next to him and her belly looking big enough to be a bother for her at best, Dave dropping his phone entirely and having Nathan catch it, "A-Alvin? What are you doing home so early?" Dave asked, Alvin pointing his thumb toward his wife, "Brittany really missed you guys, and with her pregnancy being about a week and a half along, she was wanting more than just me and Ian's company." Alvin explained, as he then found himself and his wife swarmed by the large extended family.
"Dang! Brittany how many are you having? You're huge!" Eleanor asked, Brittany giggling and rubbing her tummy, "Six, and we got an ultrasound scan and found out that we're having four girls and two boys... Alvin wasn't too keen on having a bunch of girls in his family, but he's proud nonetheless." Brittany said, shivering as one of her pups kicked again, Jeanette placing a hand to her sister's belly and feeling the life within her moving around, "Wow... you're lucky Britt, I've been trying lately to have kids, but Simon is not willing to do it unless we're married... for once wanting to follow Alvin's example," Jeanette said, Simon chuckling and twiddling his fingers together, "It's not that I'm unwilling to start one, I just don't want to be known for knocking up my mate before marriage," Simon explained, Alvin rolling his eyes and chuckling, "You're uptight, but I can understand your reasoning, another reason me and Britt came home now was so that we didn't risk Brittany going into labour while on Canadian soil, nothing against the country but if they got born there then we may not have been able to bring them home," Alvin explained, before Theodore sniffed the air and smiled, "Mmmm, something smells good!" Theodore said, this causing Brittany to yelp and rush out to the kitchen, "The supper! I almost forgot!" Brittany said, as she got to the kitchen and leaped up to the counter, grunting from the effort of having to do such a thing while carrying her extra weight, the others soon filing in and gasping in shock at the sight of Brittany cooking by herself.
"Britt, since when do you cook? Other than cookies that is," Cleo asked, Brittany giggling as she stirred the pot she had on the go, "Oh I watched a bunch of cooking shows and picked up a few things, and as for the cookies, I got better recipes in mind for dessert," Brittany replied, taking a bit of the broth and tasting it, nodding and waving Eleanor over, "Tell me, is that missing anything?" Brittany asked, Eleanor tasting the broth and smiling, "Just a pinch of salt, maybe some oregano and a bit of Tabasco sauce," Eleanor replied, Brittany adding in all three, stirring the pot around a bit before tasting it again, purring at the flavors she detected, "Oh yeah, that's good, and sorry guys but I was kinda hoping to have more time, I'd have made noodles to go with this and-"
"You mean from scratch? That's a bit ambitious, even for you Britt," Theodore said, gaining himself a glare from Brittany before she softened her gaze, "Sorry, my hormones aren't exactly stable at the moment, as for scratch, I made a sample batch earlier to make sure I got the recipe right, tell me what you think Theodore," Brittany said, Theodore going over to the microwave and opening the door, pulling out a small dish with a mound of plain noodles in it, the green clad chipmunk taking one and biting into it, his eyes lighting up, "Britt, are you sure you didn't get a crash course in cooking from Gordon Ramsey?" Theodore asked, a blush rising on Brittany's face before she giggled, "No, I just looked up a recipe online and worked with it." Brittany replied, before she leaped away from the stove and letting Eleanor take over, needing a breather from all that work.
After supper had been eaten, Brittany hopped over to the counter, opening a cupboard door and pulling out a plate of fresh baked brownies, "Dig in, I already had a couple earlier, so I'm good," Brittany said, as everyone grabbed a treat and munched away, Brittany feeling proud of her cooking, even as she took a cup of her broth from earlier and sipped away at it. After the meal and dessert, Everyone pitched in to clean up so that Brittany could relax in the living room with Alvin, the two sitting together with Brittany in Alvin's lap, her head resting back onto his chest as he rubbed her belly, feeling his pups kicking at his hands as if to try and gain his attention, "That was a great supper Britt, thanks," Alvin said, placing a kiss to the back of her head and bringing a smile to Brittany's face, "Mmmm thank you, for the compliment, and for bringing me home, I needed this." Brittany replied, Alvin removing his hand from her belly and using it to turn Brittany's face gently towards his, "I heard you crying in your sleep to come home, how could I not oblige my precious pink diamond after that?" Alvin asked, before he leaned forwards and pressed a kiss to her lips, this kiss lasting longer than normal, and beginning to get a bit more intense before they both heard Dave clear his throat, "Okay, I know you're married and all, but you guys know I'm not willing to have you guys fooling around on my furniture, especially if it's communal like that couch is," Dave explained, Alvin and Brittany chuckling and returning to their previous positions.
After a while, Brittany just dozed off, her soft snoring able to be heard through the living room as she slept, Alvin simply holding her close and smiling, before he looked to Dave and offered a grunt to gain his attention, "Hey, umm... when Brittany told you about her being pregnant, were you upset with me?" Alvin asked, Dave giving his son a concerned look before he got up and gently sat next to Alvin on the couch, "I'm not going to lie, I was upset, but not for the reason you'd think... I was upset because when I realized that I was now going to be a grandfather... that you had finally grown up, and I'll be honest, it broke my heart a little to know that I might never have to deal with your antics anymore," Dave replied, Alvin blinking a bit before he grinned, "I could always play a few pranks if you like... for old time sake of course," Alvin offered, Dave immediately shooting Alvin a glare, "No... I said it broke my heart, never said I'd miss your old antics, my point is that you're starting your own family, something I never did before you guys popped out of that basket of muffins years ago." Dave explained, Alvin chuckling at the memory, "I understand, you were shocked at being a grandfather at thirty is that it?" Alvin asked, Dave nodding and returning a slime to Alvin, "Exactly, did you want me to try and get you and Brittany to bed? I'm headed that way anyway so it's no problem," Dave asked, Alvin nodding before Dave gently lifted the two chipmunks into his hands, "Whoa, Brittany's gotten heavier," Dave said, taking the two to their room and placing them into their bed.
(the next day)
As usual Brittany leaped out of bed and rushed for the bathroom, unfortunately startling her sister Kris by bursting through the door and launching up onto the bathroom counter, "Britt! What the Hell?" Kris asked, but soon got her answer upon hearing the sounds of Brittany puking with her morning sickness, "S-Sorry Kris, I can't-" another torrent of bile ejected out of her mouth and into the sink, cutting Brittany off and leaving Kris mildly disgusted, "Well, I think I'll have just blood this morning... you take care with your... morning sickness thingy," Kris said awkwardly, slowly making her way out of the washroom even as Alvin made his way in and hopped up onto the counter top, gently rubbing Brittany's back and humming a soothing tune to his wife.
After that was over and done with, and Brittany had washed up and made herself presentable, both she and Alvin made their way to the kitchen, Alvin stopping next to a chair that was always left positioned in a way to act as a stepping stone for the chipmunks collectively, "After you, my beautiful pink diamond," Alvin said, taking a rather gentlemanly bow and allowing Brittany to move past him and up onto the table top, soon after joining his wife and dishing her up some of the already prepared food, today being a staple of the Seville household, toaster waffles. "Thank God! I've been dying to have one of these things since I got pregnant last week!" Brittany said, grabbing a chocolate chip waffle and taking a big bite out of it, the chocolate still warm and sticking to her facial fur a bit as she ate. Meanwhile everyone simply stared at her for a few seconds, before Brittany felt their eyes on her and glanced around, swallowing a big mouthful of her breakfast and giggling, "Sorry, lately I feel like I'm starving and-" just then the phone rang, Dave rolling his eyes and groaning, "Seriously? Come on! It's Sunday for crying out loud!" Dave said to himself, getting up and answering the phone before it could get to the answering machine, "Hello? If this is anyone relating to the press than you can kindly-" "Dave! It's just me, Ian Hawke. You know the guy you had be Alvin and Brittany's chauffeur during their honeymoon?" Ian said on the other end, Dave relaxing and letting out an apologetic sigh, "Sorry Ian, it's just since Alvin and Brittany were on that Canadian gossip program, my phone's been ringing non stop!" Dave explained, Ian chuckling a bit while he sifted through some papers on his desk, "You're telling me, my secretary informed me that since Mr. and Mrs. Seville showed up on E-Talk a week ago, I've received nearly ten thousand calls regarding Alvin and Brittany... not to say that some were legitimate reporters, but that was still just the sheer number I got, I can't imagine how many you've gotten since this whole pregnancy thing hit the news stands." Ian explained, his and Dave's conversation continuing on for a few more minutes while everyone at the table ate their food.
(three hours later, backstage of another concert)
Brittany wanted to be here for her sisters, not to perform mind you, she had gotten all she wanted in regards to performing for an audience back in Canada, but rather just to be generally supportive. Alvin was of course right next to her, despite Brittany stating that he could go and sing with his brothers if he wanted, preferring to simply watch from behind the curtain on the stage. Alvin had to admit though, Zack had come along with his singing, nothing like himself of course but in his own way very talented, the current song the two groups were performing was "Good Time", one that the two groups had performed together before Alvin and Brittany had considered marriage an option, and the memories of their past brought a smile to their faces.
"They're pretty good out there, aren't they Britt?" Alvin asked, Brittany giggling and about to answer, when a spotlight shone on her and Alvin together, then the sound of Zack tapping a microphone was heard, "Hello? Okay, thank you all for coming, we all hope you enjoyed this performance... but we have a surprise for you out there." Zack explained, Brittany growing confused before Alvin gently guided her out onto the stage, a smile on his face as he held her hand and whispered into her ear what was happening. "Home from their honeymoon in Canada, and live for the first time after the wedding, Alvin and Brittany Seville!" Zack shouted, the crowd of fans cheering when Alvin and Brittany came into sight, before Miles stepped out on the stage and started strumming on his guitar, the tune familiar to Brittany, a smile slowly spreading across her face even as she slipped a headset onto her and Alvin's heads. Alvin then took a stance with his brothers, even as Brittany stood by her sisters, before the red clad chipmunk began to sing.
"Oh you shine bright,
Brighter than all the stars,
Brighter than fireworks,
So I give you all my love." Alvin sang, smiling toward Brittany and holding his hand out in her direction, Brittany stepping forward and taking his hand in hers before Alvin simply got down to his knees and gazed up at into his wife's eyes.
"And your perfection,
Even in your mistakes,
Gives affection,
Even when your heart aches,
When I'm away,
You're who I'm think of, because!" Alvin continued, placing a brief kiss to his wife's round tummy before getting back up and pulling away from her, if only so he could dance for a bit while he sang the chorus.
"You are my home, home, home!
Wherever I may roam!
You are the place where,
I can rest my weary bones!
You are my home, home, home!
You are my home, home, home!" Alvin sang, he and his brothers, along with Zack, stepping into a dance similar to when they first performed this song in Miami, Brittany shaking her head and laughing lightly at this surprise she had been dragged into, but nonetheless enjoying herself with the entire ordeal. It soon came time for her part, so Brittany cleared her throat and took up the next part of the song with her sisters.
"You're a diamond,
Brightening my cloudy skies!
Sparkling all through the night,
Light me up like fireflies!" Brittany sang, amazed that despite her morning sickness making her throat feel almost raw that she was still able to hit the proper notes, but otherwise sticking with her performance, walking toward Alvin in much the same way as she had when she and her sisters first helped them out with the song.
"See you shining,
Even in the darkness.
Stand beside me,
When I don't deserve it.
That's why, I say,
"I give you all my love" Because!" Brittany carried on, before she simply let her sisters and Kris dance, preferring to stay where she was standing and letting them get most of the attention... though not all of it, she may be an expecting mother of six, but that will never put out the fires of a diva.
"You are my home, home, home!
Wherever I may roam!
You are the place where,
I can rest my weary bones!
You are my home, home, home!
You are my home, home, home!" Brittany sang, before she and Alvin approached one another and stepped into a light dance, as did the others, Simon with Jeanette, Theodore with Eleanor, and of course Zack with Kris. Eventually it came time for the closing section of the song, this part Alvin and Brittany passing between each other.
Alvin: You're my number one, there's no doubt!
Brittany: And we stick together, throughout!
Alvin: Like boy scouts, we about,
Brittany: All for one, 'till lights out!
Alvin: So Brittany, where you at?
Brittany: I'm right here, I got your back!
Alvin: Everybody take a look around, at my wife, here with me now!
The entire crowd lost it at that point, as Ashley had come out from back stage to help provide vocals for the ending of the song, Miles stepping into a dance with Ashley while he played his guitar. At the final part of the song, Alvin and Brittany simply pulled each other into a kiss, while the rest of their family sang the last part of the song.
"I love you Brittany, more than you can ever know," Alvin said, his voice echoing through the concert hall and drawing numerous affectionate sounds from the crowd, Brittany smiling and kissing Alvin's cheek, "I know just how much you love me, the children I'm carrying for you are a symbol of it," Brittany replied, drawing more affectionate sounds from the fans, even as Alvin and Brittany were slowly guided off the stage and back behind the curtain.
(several hours later, home)
Alvin guided Brittany through the door, the pink clad chipette looking nearly ready to pass out, and for that reason she and Alvin were gently lifted up and carried to their room for the night by Miles, "You two were great out there, I'd say even better than when we first played that song," Miles commented, gently laying Brittany down on the bed, though not before he felt movement within her stomach, his eyes going wide even as Alvin chuckled, knowing what Miles just felt, "You felt them moving, didn't you?" Alvin asked, Miles nodding before he removed his hand from under Brittany's body, "Y-Yeah... It's strange, when we first met Alvin, I didn't want anything to do with you or your brothers... now I can't stand the idea of losing you to your own family," Miles replied, Alvin shooting a concerned glance to his human brother, "Miles, what makes you think you'd lose me to my family? Did we lose Nathan when Julian and Amani were born?" Alvin asked, Miles sighing and shaking his head, "No, but to be fair Nathan's pups are flying by themselves already, you may have to look after your kids a lot more, seeing as you're chipmunks," Miles said, Alvin smiling and holding out his fist to Miles, "Well, unlike my own mother, I plan to be here for my pups, and as far as I can tell, so does Brittany." Alvin said, Miles chuckling and fist-bumping his chipmunk brother. After that, Alvin simply laid himself down next to Brittany, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck, drawing a purr from her throat as she slept.
And Chapter 4, in the text. Now next chapter is another skip, but I'm not saying how far of a skip. I'll leave that up to you guys in the review box below. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you all next time. PEACE!
And now, a random moment in the Seville home:
*everyone on the couch, bored out of their minds*
Theodore: I'm bored!
Simon: For once, so am I.
Jeanette: It's no fun without Brittany and Alvin here.
*Silas suddenly appears, standing on the coffee table*
Silas: SUDDENLY, PINEAPPLES!
*Silas snaps his fingers, and a bunch of pineapples appear randomly around the house, everyone looking around in confusion before turning to Silas*
Dave: This didn't help much.
