Hello again, hope you like chapter two and thank you to everyone who answered my question.
The Goode Family: Bedtime Story
Morgan aged 7. Zach's POV
8:27. Cam and I had three minutes to get into position. Three minutes to think of bribes and treats. Three minutes until we would feel the full wrath of Morgan.
Bedtime has never been good with her despite our last name. She begs, pleads and even cries! Now I know that I'm a spy and that I'm supposed to be like Titanium when it comes to begging but trust me, when you see your little girls face when she begs it could make a blind man cry. Seriously, everything shuts down and you just want to cuddle her like mad! Personally I think she gets it from Cammie. I distinctly remember that face when she was pregnant. Always pouting her lip out, eyes watery and wide while hands in the praying position...I couldn't say no. But when you do say no to Morgan that's when the problems start. Tantrums. Tantrums that could go on for hours, I honestly doubt that anyone would want to kidnap our daughter; she'd scream and cry through the whole flippin' journey!
Cammie holds the story books while I have the hot bottle of milk, these things are her guilty pleasure. Morgan's like Liz in some ways, she loves to read, a proper bookworm.
"Ready?" asked Cammie. 47 seconds in counting. Morgan's in the bathroom and from the humming I'm hearing I think she's brushing her teeth. You see, when she was growing up the bathroom was like hell to her. We could never get her to stay in the bath (afraid the bath monster would drag her down the drain), she thought brushing her teeth would brush away all her 'smarticles' and that she would fall in the toilet (well she actually did fall in once, or twice...three times). And the only way to teach her was to make up songs that explained that all of that was untrue and now every time she has a bath, or goes toilet or brushes her teeth she hums the tune to each song. Of course none of those things were true; she heard them of Danny, Grant's son. He and Bex dated for a while until they broke up. Bex went back to England, found herself a husband and now they've got Amie who's the same age as Morgan. Grant stayed in Roseville and has a child with a girl called Alice, to be honest I think Grants pretty serious with her (so serious he might marry her!). Liz and Jonas go out and have an apartment not too far from us. I guess it's pretty cool that we have our friends near us; we can easily meet up whenever we're not working that is. Cammie and I work for the C.I.A with Grant, Jonas work's with Interpol while Liz works at Gallagher Academy (she works with Dr Fibbs). Bex is with M.I.6 but will soon be coming here when Amie's old enough to attend Gallagher Academy.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Morgan walked out and went straight to her room.
"What?!" Cammie and I mouthed to each other at the same time. Was this the real Morgan? Or did the toothbrush actually brush away some of her smarticles.
"Okay, that was weird. But I am happy that I don't have to read Rapunzel again, you know, since you refuse to" she huffed walking to Morgan's room.
"Oh baby, you know I would but you're so much better at the voices than I am!" I said and I saw Cammie smiling a little because she knew it was true.
"I am aren't I?" I pulled her in for a hug and held her. Moments like this I always seem to remember some of the things we said to each other.
I repeated my favourite one. "Just so you know Gallagher Girl, I'm going to kiss you now" and I did. Well in my head I did but we were pulled away before our lips could meet.
"You guys have all night to do that. Now, bedtime story please" she said innocently. Cammie and I exchanged looks when she said the first comment.
"Alright, which story do you want this time? We have Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood-"Cammie was cut off.
"No, not that kind of story! I want a spy story" she said mischievously.
Cammie waved me inside. "Umm, we don't have that many stories to tell. I mean you know about the forbidden mission and the first one I ever went on and-"Cammie was cut off again.
"I want the one when you two first met!"
"Now this one I can take part in" I walked in, pulled the chair away from the desk and sat on it the wrong way.
"Oh so now you want to participate in story time?" asked Cammie, a smile forming on her perfect plump lips.
"Yes, Gallagher Girl" and I kissed her lightly. She smiled and sat on the edge of the bed with me behind her and we told Morgan the story of us. We ended up telling her everything, not just when we first met but what happened throughout the whole year.
I knew it! I knew Cammie kept denying her love for me! I knew it!
"I knew it Gallagher Girl! I knew you loved me really, you couldn't get enough of the Goode" I smirk.
"Sure Zach, you keep thinking that" she smirked back.
"So mummy, daddy, will I meet my future husband if Gallagher and Blackthorne exchange?" Morgan looked so innocent but I could tell she was being deadly serious but we couldn't help it...we burst out laughing!
We each tried so speak but it came out like. "Morg-hahahaha! Oh, sorry-hahahahaha!"
Cammie recovered first and apologised when she saw Morgan's serious face and her arms crossed. "Sorry baby. And the answer is that you might actually meet a special Blackthorne and you might end up together"
"I can't wait until I start Gallagher!" she said. "Night Mummy. Night Daddy." And she fell asleep instantly. We smiled at her sleeping body and crept out her room.
Cammie and I lay in bed, I was still chuckling at what she was said.
"Zach, don't laugh. It was incredibly cute!" whispered Cammie and she poked me in the stomach.
"I know, I know, and this time her Blackthorne boy won't be a trained assassin." Blackthorne was different now. The words 'Blackthorne' and 'Assassins' were two completely different things. Now Blackthorne was just like Gallagher.
But a thought hit me. "No way do I want some Blackthorne Boy putting his hands on my daughter!"
Cammie laughed. "Oh come on Zach! You oldie, you were 16 once"
"Well yeah but I didn't get to put my hands all over you did I?"
"Oh yeah, you didn't. I wasn't very proactive was I?" asked Cammie smiling seductively.
"And how are you feeling now?" I asked moving position so Cammie is on top of me.
"Hmm. Quite proactive actually" she smiled and kissed me passionately.
I seriously hope Morgan was asleep because it was adult time.
I had fun writing this one and it's given me ideas for what I can write but I kind of want to make it into a story! What do you guys think? I mean it is kind of a story because it's going in ages, right? Oh I dunno, tell me what I should do!
Review please!
