A/N: Ten reviews were received after I posted the last chapter… You know this means you will have to top it off or at least get the same number for this one? I don't own Skulduggery Pleasant and apparently I don't own this 'u' button either…damn keyboard.

Before reading I want you to know the trouble I went through writing this. I have all the other chapters set out after this one but I just don't know what this should be. Honestly. So I'm sorry but this chapter will be like a filler chapter… hope it's alright…

Chapter 12 That Which Concerns Babies

It was a lovely warm and sunny day of autumn. Everything seemed just perfect. Skulduggery and Valkyrie had the day off (they started to work with each other again after a matter of days being apart-

-this included a teary parting between Skulduggery and Ghastly which was played very well with the most beautifully corny lines that Valkyrie and Tanith spent the next ten minutes in the bathroom throwing up)and they were perfectly happy sitting in Tanith's sister's backyard watching Tanith play with her little niece. Skulduggery who unfortunately wasn't watching the heart warming moment but reading a book and pretending to be a statue (Valkyrie turned the pages for him) because Tanith's sister was too worried that he'd frighten the baby.

Valkyrie on the other hand watched Tanith play with her little niece who had the most lovely blushing faces and beautiful blonde locks and not to mention a gorgeous button nose. She smiled softly and sighed as she watched the two, play.

Skulduggery could sense something wasn't right.

"What is it?" he asked not moving his jaw (he doesn't have to remember?)

"Nothing" Valkyrie said, smiled and sighed again.

Skulduggery was getting worried now.

"Honey, are you alright?"

"I'm fine she said" still looking lovingly at the baby, linking her arm around Skulduggery's and resting her head on his shoulder.

Skulduggery waited for a while still concerned at the current daze his girlfriend was in. Valkyrie wasn't the kind of girl to go mushy. He eyed the baby that gurgled joyfully and then looked back at Valkyrie.

"Skulduggery" Valkyrie said.

"Yes?" said Skulduggery prepared for anything-

"I want a baby"

-anything except that.

"What!" said Skulduggery a little to loud followed by the glare of Tanith and he resumed his frozen state.

"Honey, don't you think you're thinking a bit rashly about this?" he said in a rushed whisper.

"But look at her! She is so cute! Wouldn't it be wonderful Skulduggery?"

"You're having your period aren't you?"

"Oh come on!" (cause he was right ^_^) "I'm serious about this!" she retorted.

"Valkyrie a baby is a very serious- um- thing. You need to think carefully about this"

"But I have!"

"For more than five minutes"

"But Skulduggery!" she said and then looked into his eye sockets and pouted, "I feel really good about this!"

Skulduggery couldn't bear to look in her eyes. Thank God he did have actually eyes so even though she thought he was looking at her he was evading the stare and was in fact looking a small bird in a nearby pine tree.

"I'm not sure" he said, "We aren't even married, Valkyrie. At least give it a year or two to think about"

"Fine" said Valkyrie giving in. She stood up and started to walk over to Tanith.

"I'll just steal one then" she said turning back to Skulduggery and continued walking with a smile on her face.

Skulduggery was about to go into cardio arrest… even though he didn't have a heart.

"Tanith" Valkyrie said giddily as she walked over to her and sat down on the grass.

"I did it" she said and giggled more.

"How did he take it?" asked Tanith laughing.

"It was hilarious! That's for all the things he's done for me. I think I'll continue this act for a few more weeks"

"Brilliant. Oh, I've got another idea to haunt him"

"Great"

And so the two evilly minded women went on with their mastermind plans to get revenge on a certain skeleton.

A/N: Hope it wasn't too bad. This was done on a lack of inspiration. But the next chapters are going to be better.

I always wanted a chapter where Valkyrie gets back at Skulduggery. There is more to come later but this is just for this chapter….
