AN: HELLO FELLOW HUMAN WORM-BABIES *cough cough* I'm alright, been on an alien craze lately, from Invader Zim to Ben 10. That new series of Ben 10 looks pretty good, but I hate how in the second and third series they build up friendships with Kevin and Gwen but then they just cut it off with Omniverse. That sucked, they better bring Kev back though, Gwen can just come and go as she pleases, Kevin better come back permanently or I might have to hurt someone, preferably Cameron.
Cameron: What?
Anyway for those who reviewed between the short time it took for me to update:
lindiloo02:Thank you, I prefer to update quickly other wise the creative genius just leaks out of my brain. Once school starts though it will probably take a little longer.
The movie finally came on just as Albedo was being tackled by Cameron, who was trying to kiss him. Though once the movie came on he stopped and turned off the lights.
Throughout most of the movie I was horrified, kids of eighteen to twelve years of age were forced to fight to the death? And when that little girl Rue died, I was tearing up into Kevin's shirt and I could hear sniffles from all over the room and a few scoffs.
"That-that was horrible. What anodite tradition does this resemble? You said it resembled one." Gwen asked as Kevin was wiping my tears away.
"I don't know mom just said it resembled one."
"It might be The Offering of Energy, it's a time when anodites choose two of their people, preferably the weakest, to fight to the death in an open arena on a separate planet as a way to keep their planet alive and full of energy. It only happens once every five of their years, which is the equivalent of 50 years here. I've seen one, it wasn't as horrid as this movie but it was still pretty gruesome." I could tell that Albedo was probably disturbed by the movie.
"Man mom was way off..." Cam muttered as he clung to Albedo and had a slight look of fear.
"That does only apply for those that live on their planet right?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, so if you were to move to Anoditia if you were the weakest you would take part."
"I like earth, I'm staying." Cameron said.
"Same." "Ditto." were mine and Gwen's responses.
Albedo raised an eyebrow at Cam, "How would that concern you any?"
"He's half anodite, the same as Ben and Gwen are one fourth." Julie said.
Albedo sighed and patted Cameron's head.
The morning after I woke up and threw up. Kevin made pancakes, but it was hard to keep them down. I started crying because I thought he'd be mad at me and kick me out, then I burst out into laughter at his face. After about two hours of Kevin trying to keep me calm Gwen called and I begun to throw stuff at him saying that he was a cheating pig and he should go die. I started crying after I actually hit him and the cycle restarted.
Then there was school, Cameron offered to be my punching bag, but since 'fighting' isn't allowed I refused and held it in till school was out.
MONTH 3:
I'm supposed to quit school next month, because I'm feeling a little bloated. Though thankfully, no one has noticed that I was getting a little pudgy. I had to quit soccer, that made me a little sad. But that also meant I've got more time to think of names, we're supposed to go get it checked to see how many it's gonna be and the gender soon. Kev is either used to the mood swings or they've stopped as far as I can tell. I'm sure he's just gotten used to them though.
Gwen's older brother Ken came by and was shocked with the knowledge that I was pregnant. He started asking all these ridiculous questions, like how is it going to come out and such.
It's now the middle of the month, there has been almost no alien activity, and what little there is can be dealt with by Verdona, Max and the other plumbers' kids (they still don't know what's going on and I want to keep it that way). I've been sitting quietly watching Kevin work on my car with interest. Every now and then he'd ask for a certain tool and I'd hand it to him.
"Monkey wrench." I grabbed it out of the tool box and put it in his hand. Once he was done he handed it back, "Screwdriver." repeat. "Puppy."
I raised a brow in confusion, "Puppy?"
He slid out from under the car and walked over to his work bench, he held out a box. It had holes in it and I could hear a slight breath from it.
My eyes grew wide as he smiled, "... You didn't."
"I did, I heard that having a puppy before hand can help train parents to take care of a baby." He opened the box and a small Siberian husky was asleep in it. Once it woke up I gasped as it yawned, it had beautiful blue eyes and a soft coat of fur. "He was the runt of the litter, he's gonna get bigger though, might get bigger then a normal one. I'll tell you she'll help us learn how to say no, those damn eyes are what got me."
"Does she have a name?"
"No, not right now, I went to a guy that had pups he couldn't take care of, he didn't think she'd survive being born at first, but he got proven wrong when she stayed alive for a week. He still assumed she was going to die, even after I said I wanted her, so he didn't even bother to name her. It's sort of a good thing too, that means we get to do it ourselves." he picked her up out of the box and handed her to me, she was only a few weeks old from what I could tell.
"Lia. Can we call her Lia?"
"Sure, nice name, I was expecting something like 'Hope' or 'Angel'. I would've had to argue with that." He began to scratch behind her ears and she just loved it.
She yipped and jumped down off of my lap, she ran off into a corner, "H-hey!"
"It's fine Benji."
Lia came back with a tug o' war rope. I smiled and grabbed one end and pulled, she pulled back and as I shook it a bit she growled. I growled back and shook the rope again.
Kevin just sat off to the side and covered up a smile.
