Gina heard Lydia. "Lyddie~" she coos.
"She being bad?" Eve asked before they got back.
"No, I'm freaking her out." Gina whispers.
Eve hid a laugh.
Lydia went to the kitchen table after meeting her parents and the Maitiland couple, then jumped into her homework.
Gina flew over, smiling way too brightly. "Lyddie~"
Lydia wrote in her notebook and slowly looked up. Gina smiled, bright as sunshine.
Lydia blinked. "Hey, Gene. What's new?"
Gina gave a cheeky wink.
Lydia's young mind went into adult thoughts. "Aw, Gene, ya didn't!"
Gina merely giggled, fading away.
Lydia blinked. "I don't want any nieces and nephews right now!"
Gina laughed again. Lydia grunted, shaking her head. Eve then came to help Lydia with her homework like they made a deal out of after Beej and Gina officially were married and met with Juno.
Gina snuck up on her husband. "Give me your treasure." she says, making a gun shape with her fingers.
Beej turned to her, dressed with a cowboy hat and even had a vest with a pair of boots. "Y'all think you're so tough, li'l missy? This here's man's country!"
Gina smirked. "You're half right... It's WOman's country." she says.
"Draw, city slicker!" Beej took out a giant machine gun, but pulled the trigger to show a long stick with a BANG banner on it. "Just kiddin'!" He called out, then laughed.
Gina pulled out a bazooka, put it spewed out confetti.
Beej blinked and coughed up a little of the confetti, near literally blown away. "What a woman!"
Gina rested the bazooka back on her shoulder, leaning forwards slightly, one hip jutted out.
Beej wiped the confetti off. "So, what did you and Evie do today?"
"Went to the Netherworld... Met Sabrina and Salem." Gina smiles.
Beej then laughed a bit. "Salem Saberhagen and Sabrina Spellman?"
Gina nodded. "Yeah." She smiles.
"I met Salem back when he wasn't a cat," Beej told her. "I even knew Edward before he married Diana."
"I turned him human for whenever I see him." Gina says. She smiled and hugged her husband.
Beej hugged her back. "I have this strange feeling sometimes when I'm thinking of you... Something to make our marriage a nice success... Something that involves the pitter-patter of little feet..." He then pulled out and felt his stomach. "Or is that a roach I mistook for a giant chocolate chip again?"
Gina blushed. "Children?" She asks softly.
"No, I can't say I'd eat a child, even I wouldn't stoop that low." Beej forgot the point.
Gina laughed, amused.
"Oh, having children," Beej now got it, even he had to admit that was dumb of him. "Well... I dunno, no one's ever wanted to have MY children... Some women think it's a fate worse than death and I can't be in the backseat of a car with an unliving dead body again."
Gina looked almost hurt. He didn't want children?
"Well, if you think you're up for it and think I can learn to be a good father, let's give it a shot." Beej smiled lovingly to Gina.
Gina smiled. She hugged him again. Beej kissed her neck, feeling glad inside that at least somebody liked them. Gina shivered, but her face showed no disgust.
"We don't have to have kids if you don't wanna, but I'm eager to try it if you want." Beej sounded eager alright.
"I want kids." she assures.
"Mama Gina and Daddy Beej, our kids are gonna scar a lot of people for life," Beej sounded grave and serious, then became eccentric like everybody knew him as. "I'll be so proud of them!"
Gina laughed fondly.
Beej carried her then. "So, when do you wanna try?" He gave a wink.
Gina blushed. "Well, I be free til dinner, mistah~" she winks.
"Let's get to it then!" Beej went off with her, excitedly.
Gina yelped, laughing.
Lydia finished her homework.
"By the way, your school is getting a new student soon." Eve said to her.
"Really, how do you know?" Lydia looked at her.
Just before she could answer, Gina's laugh could be heard as they zipped past the bedrooms. Lydia and Eve blinked and had heard Gina along with Beej.
"Oh, God, the horror of the marriage of my sister..." Lydia shivered.
Gina sniggered as well as laughed.
"Get a house!" Lydia yelled, then groaned.
"We did, Eve's old man built it, remember!?" Beej called to her.
"Somewhere far away, like Saturn!" Lydia glared upstairs.
"I don't want to go there... It's cold." Gina says.
"I'd keep you warm all the time." Beej told her seductively.
"Ugh! Make them stop!" Lydia couldn't bear to hear this.
Eve took Lydia to her old bedroom which Gina happily changed back.
"Is it quiet in here?" Eve asked.
"I think so, I never heard my parents do that, either coincidence or assurance." Eve shrugged.
Gina giggled and kissed him. Charles and Delia were sitting together and suddenly felt the house shake a little.
"Uh-oh..." Charles muttered.
Adam held Barbara as they both thought it was an earthquake. Gina blinked in the kiss. Delia rolled her eyes. Barbara looked worried.
"Is the house shaking?" Lydia wondered.
"I dunno, is it?" Eve blinked.
Adam looked up to the ceiling, keeping a firm hold on Barbara. Delia settled back down. Barbara followed his gaze.
"Okay, I think I know what's going on here..." Adam settled himself down.
Barbara blushed when she realized.
"Okay, I think we should all go out for a stroll..." Adam quickly got up to find Eve.
Barbara nodded.
"Eve? We're going!" Adam called.
Though, Eve could not hear him, her room was nearly soundproof. Barbara waited. Adam then went upstairs to find their daughter. Barbara got the coats.
"Well, she's grown up now." Charles scoffed lightly.
Delia handed him a chocolate. Charles smiled, taking it. Delia merely turned on the TV then with a chuckle.
"That means you're gonna be a grandma." Charles couldn't help but tease his wife.
"No!" Delia gasps and prepared to run upstairs.
"Delia!" Charles called after her, going with her.
Delia was going to stop it.
Barbara got the coats.
Eve came out. "Come on, I haven't seen Lydia at all today..."
"We don't see much of you anymore." Adam then said.
"Shouldn't that be a good thing?" Eve folded her arms. "I'm spending more time with other people!"
Barbara hummed.
"Well, I guess that's good... Can't we just go for a walk?" Adam sounded like he was obsessed with his daughter right now.
"Daddy, please..." Eve looked at him.
Delia headed up to the attic.
Charles went behind her. "Gina? Beetlejuice!?"
"Busy right now!" Beej called from the model.
"Stop it right now, I don't want to be a grandmother at this young!" Delia shouts.
Beej and Gina pretended to not hear her and went on anyway. Delia rattled the model. Gina laughed, almost like a crazy person.
"Dear, the sign..." Charles gestured to the door.
Delia ignored it. "Stop doing what you're doing!" She shouts.
Beej and Gina still ignored Delia. Delia growled. Gina giggled slightly. Beej and Gina were nearly done. Delia went away with Charles.
Lydia came to the Maitilands before they left. "My sister's being gross again..."
"Sometimes I wish I had a sister." Eve shrugged, looking into the distance.
Delia looked mad.
"Well, she was with him earlier a while." Barbara says.
"I guess it's a thing, I never really liked a boy." Lydia shrugged.
"Boys were always either too dumb or too complicated when I was growing up." Eve put in.
Barbara smiled at Adam. Adam smiled back.
"You wanna change?" Eve saw that Lydia was still in her uniform.
"Too lazy." Lydia sighed.
Eve then used some powers she had and changed Lydia back into her comforting clothes.
"Whoa..." Lydia blinked in surprise.
Barbara watched.
"You're not gonna do that in school, are you?" Lydia looked to her.
"I'll get grounded for a few hundred years if I wanted to." Eve whispered to her.
Barbara nodded.
"No mischief while you're in school." Adam warned her.
"Yes, Daddy..." Eve didn't exactly roll her eyes, but they seemed to float back into her skull.
Barbara crossed her arms.
"Don't do that, parents hate that." Lydia told her friend.
"Hang on," Eve said as her iris and pupils were gone. She then bonked herself against the head and her eyes bulged back and she blinked back to normal. "There we go."
Barbara handed Eve her coat. Eve took it and wore it.
"Have fun on your walk..." Lydia told them with a small smile.
Barbara hugged Lydia. Lydia smiled and hugged Barbara back. She liked this woman a lot better than Delia.
"We'll be back soon." Barbara promises.
"Okay, be back in time for dinner." Lydia told them.
"We will." Eve promised.
Adam got his coat on as she said that. Barbara went a little ahead. Adam and Eve followed her out. Lydia then decided to maybe do something constructive, other than getting on her sister for being with the man she married, though she had to admit, anybody would be better than old Otho. Gina came down, looking satisfied and more disheveled.
Lydia got herself cleaned up a little, doing her make-up in a way she liked it and not a forced dress code. Gina giggled.
Lydia then came out, seeing her sister. "How's it going outside of scaring Delia's hair back to it's natural color?"
Gina gave her sister a hug. Luckily it was only the cheeky personality rubbing off on her.
Lydia blinked. "Gene, are you dying?"
Gina gave her a normal look. The 'are you really that forgetful' look. "Already dead, remember?" she says, her tone soft though.
"I know, I guess that joke really doesn't work anymore I guess." Lydia said softly back.
Gina hugged her again.
"You're in a chipper mood." Lydia noticed.
"Endorphins," Gina says simply. "Plus I made a new friend." she smiles.
"Oh, well that's good," Lydia smiled. "Who and what was it?" She asked the what because she was able to go through other worlds now and not just meet people on the street who might be afraid of her due to her new condition in the afterlife.
"Salem Saberhagen and Sabrina Spellman, a cat and half-witch." the older Deetz sister says. She smiled.
Lydia looked surprised. "Nuh-uh, those are cartoon characters!"
"They are real... Ask Eve... And we saw Hilda and Zelda." she says.
"I know you wouldn't lie to me, but it sounds odd in this world..." Lydia now had to wonder if Sabrina was indeed real and they just based those cartoons and TV series' on real-life events. Could half-witches really exist?
Gina smiled. "I turned Salem human while he was with us." she says.
"I always wondered what Salem looked like when he was actually a warlock." Lydia smiled back.
Gina smiled. As she thought Beej trusted her completely, which he would be right in doing so, she answered. "He is quite handsome." she says.
"Maybe I could hook up with him." Lydia joked, nudging Gina playfully.
Gina laughed. "You're a bit young yet." she says, slight emphasis on the 'yet'.
"Whatever." Lydia slightly rolled her eyes.
Gina crossed her arms a little. She raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, and apparently there's gonna be a new girl in school soon." Lydia said before leaving.
Gina grinned.
"Ophelia Benison." Lydia continued.
Gina nodded, smiling. "I see." she says.
Lydia nodded with a smile. "I've made some other friends... Just not that snotty Claire Brewster."
Gina smiled gently. "That's great, Lyddie." she says.
"Yeah," Lydia smiled softly. "I've been wondering about having them over... But then again... 'Your husband' might scare them..."
"I won't let him scare them, Lyddie." Gina promises.
"Thanks, I'd prefer if I were the one scaring people, when I first went to school, everybody thought I was a ghost or something, but Barbara and Adam helped me with how to be more social with people, so when I came back, I was more out and about." Lydia smiled at those memories last year.
Gina looked at her, smiling sadly.
Lydia wrapped her arms around her older sister. "I really missed Mom and I really didn't wanna move... Why did Dad have to marry Delia?"
Gina hugged her back. "'Cuz Mom told Dad he had to find someone else." she says softly.
"I still miss her..." Lydia said softly.
Gina squeezed her gently. "Me too, Lyddie." she says softly.
Lydia sniffled, gently resting her head against Gina's warm, yet slightly rotting embrace. Gina hummed the song their mother sung. Lydia slowly shut her eyes, calming down a bit, she loved that song more than anything. Gina continued until the song's end.
Lydia sighed with a small sniffle. "Thank you so much, Gene."
Gina looked at her. "Don't be sad... Mom wouldn't want it." she says softly.
"Yeah..." Lydia nodded. "I think I'm gonna get msyelf a glass of water, you want some?" She then offered.
Gina nodded. "Thank you, sweetheart." she says.
Lydia then went to get their water.
There was an old painted portrait right by Gina that came to life as Beej took it's form. "Ya got a hell of a voice."
Gina blushed, smiling at her husband.
"I didn't know you could sing like that." Beej jumped out of the portrait, coming in front of the elder Deetz sister.
"One of my mysteries." she winks.
Beej chuckled. "I hope the little ones will love you."
Gina blushed, smiling. Beej smiled, giving her another kiss.
Lydia came with the glasses of water. "Oh, come on, guys... I just ate..."
Gina broke away, hiding her face.
"I think it's time for you to go..." Beej told Lydia.
The younger girl gave Gina her glass of water as she sipped her own. Gina took the glass thankfully.
"Why don't you do something with Eve?" Beej asked her.
Lydia finished her water, putting the glass down to answer his question. "Eve's out with Barbara and Adam."
Gina looked at Lydia. "How about you come watch a movie on TV?" She asks.
Lydia smiled. "Okay."
Gina smiled. Lydia then went to find a movie to watch.
Gina smiled as she left. "A movie with my sister... Awesome~" she purrs.
"You wanna be alone with her?" Beej would be fine either way.
"We'll ask her." Gina compromises.
"Either way, I'll be fine." Beej shrugged, smiling to her.
Gina waited to ask Lydia. Lydia was looking through the movies to see what would be a good one to watch. Gina hummed again.
Lydia felt her inner child break out as she found Disney films. "Who wants to watch The Little Mermaid?" She called, much to the shock of certain others that she would want to watch such a movie.
Beej looked surprised.
Gina bounced over. "I do~"
Lydia smiled with a small laugh. "Little Mermaid it is."
Gina chuckled.
Lydia then put the video tape in and rewound it back to the beginning.
"Aren't you too old for that?" Beej asked.
"Never too old for Disney, even you." Lydia looked back to him.
Gina settled to watch it. Lydia did the same with Gina.
"These movies are all the same to me," Beej shrugged. "Singing princesses wanting more in their life, getting their prince, living happily ever after, the works."
Gina smirked. "Worked for me." she says.
"Still, I prefer real movies like the Exorcist, or IT, or Misery..." Beej grinned at the horrifyingly graphic movies.
"Disney... Quiet now..." Gina says.
"Yes, my lady..." Beej said fancily, mockingly, but did keep quiet.
Lydia smiled as the movie was now starting. Gina very carefully and gently kicked him. Beej grunted, glancing at her slightly. Lydia hummed the songs as they were going on in the movie, knowing most of this movie by heart. Gina smirked.
Beej was feeling hungry, all the fish and crabs just made him want to go to a sushi bar. He then heard a ringing noise and saw it was his personal phone and he answered it, going in the other room, then called out after a few moments. "Gina? Telephone?"
Gina appeared next to him. Beej handed her the phone.
"Hello?" Gina asks.
"Hello, Gina?" Salem's voice was heard.
