Chapter 3, The Birth of Angelica
The video shows a picture of a castle.
Angelica POV
Once upon a time, there was a king and queen, who lived in a castle! King Drew and Queen Charlotte. One day, they gave birth to Princess Angelica, who road through the land on ponies and got all the cookies, chocolate cheese bars, and Reptar bars she could ever want! And Princess Angelica was the happiest girl alive and everyone lived happily ever after the end.
End of Angelica POV
While she told that story, Drew and Charlotte, dressed as a king and queen appeared, and Angelica, a smaller version of herself, dressed in a beautiful pink dress, road on a white pony, and the towns people threw cookies, Reptar bars, and chocolate cheese bars at her.
At this point, Tommy pauses the video, furious at Angelica's make believe story.
"That's not true Angelica. Your mommy and daddy never lived in a castle." Snapped Tommy.
"And they were never a king and a queen." Added Lil.
"Yeah I bet they're not even your evil step parents like you tolded us a while back." Added Phil.
"Alright alright, so I was making it up a while back when I thought I was a real princess, and we did those tests, like climbing up my hair, and seeing if I could feel a pea through a ton of blankets." Said Angelica, who then cleared her throat.
"Um, I mean we didn't use a pea, since Finster, ate the pea on the way upstairs." Snapped Angelica.
Chuckie gulped at her comment.
"Come on Angelica, maybe I wasn't bornded yet, and neither was Tommy at this point, but we don't believe the castle story. Now tell us the real story of how you were bornded." Said Zack.
"Fine, you want the real story? Then sit down, be quiet, and pay attention cuz I'm only going to tell it once." Snapped Angelica, as she unpaused the video.
The picture changes from the midevil castle scene, to an office, with a very pregnant Charlotte, sitting at her desk and filing some papers.
Angelica POV
Ok, ok, so my mommy has always worked, even before I was bornded. In fact, she might as well be dead, since she never has any time for me, always talking to that Jonahan person, but like it or not, Charlotte is my real mommy, and it wasn't until the day I was bornded, that she met Jonahan. There she was, minding her own business, doing something with papers, when Mister Yamaguchi walked into the room.
"Mrs. Charlotte Pickles, just the woman I want to see." Said Mister Yamaguchi, as he stood in front of her desk.
"Yes Mister Yamaguchi, what is it?" Charlotte asked.
"As you know, I am retiring as CEO of this company, and have accepted the job of being president of Euro Reptar Land in Paris, and I am looking for someone, to take my place as head CEO of this fine company." Explained Mister Yamaguchi.
"Are you saying, I'm receiving a promotion?" Charlotte asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I am! You've never missed a day of work, you're organized, and keep on top of things around here. I have my full trust in you, that you will make this company, a success. And so, congratulations Mrs. Charlotte Pickles." Said Mister Yamaguchi, as he reached across the desk, and Charlotte, shook his hand.
Later, at a meeting, in a conference room, Charlotte is sitting at a long table along with several other employees, when Mister Yamaguchi walks into the room, along with a man, who has dark skin, blond hair, and is wearing a suit.
"Charlotte, we understand that that you are pregnant, and will be due any day now, and so, I'd like you to meet, your new assistant, Jonahan." Said Mister Yamaguchi, as he walked Jonathan over to where Charlotte was sitting.
"Good day to you Mrs. Pickles." Said Jonathan, shaking Charlotte's hand.
"Good day to you…" Said Charlotte, cut off, as her water broke, causing a huge mess in the room.
"Jonathan, call the hospital. My water just broke!" Demanded Charlotte.
"Ah, looks like you two will have no trouble at all. I'll be running along then, and good luck with your new child." Said Mister Yamaguchi, as he walked out of the conference room.
Jonathan pulled two cell phones out of his pocket, and handed one to Charlotte.
"Here, it's a little something so we can keep in communication with one another at all times. Mister Yamaguchi gave them to me prior to my being brought in here to meet you." Said Jonathan, handing Charlotte her moble phone.
"Thank you. Now would you please call the hospital my contractions are coming every two minutes!" Yelled Charlotte.
"Right away Mrs. Pickles." Said Jonathan, as he called the hospital from his phone.
So my mommy now had her assistant, and she was now off to the hopcickle to have me. Mommy stayed on the phone the entire time, even when a nurse put her into a wheelchair, and took her back to the delivery room.
"Jonathan I'll call you back. I'm about to have my baby now." Charlotte said in between breaths, once she got to the delivery room.
A little while later, my daddy showed up.
"How are we doing here Char?" Drew asked, running into the delivery room, as he spotted his wife on the bed, doing her lamar's breathing, and could hear Angelica's heartbeat on the monitors.
"She's doing great. She's almost fully dialated, and could be delivering at anytime now." Replied a nurse, who was helping Charlotte.
A few minutes later, a doctor came in to help my daddy and mommy bring me into this world. My mommy remained in the bed, and daddy held one leg up, while the doctor held the other leg up.
"Ok Charlotte, we're going to push on this one. Ready? 1… 2… 3…" Said the doctor, as Charlotte pushed.
It took forever, as I made my way through the birth canal, but next thing I knew, I was bornded, and was in my mommy's arms, wrapped in a pink blankie! Wow! Did I really just talk like a dumb baby? Ok whatever, anyway, I had been bornded, and mommy and daddy were happy to see me. Mommy then handed me over to daddy, who looked down into my adorable little face.
"We are so happy, to have brought you into this world." Said my daddy, rocking me gently in his arms.
"So, what are we going to name her?" My mommy asked, just as her phone started ringing.
"Honey, you ponder that thought while I take this call." Said my mommy, as she answered her phone.
"Hello Jonathan." Said my mommy into the phone, continuing to talk to that man, while my daddy started thinking of names for me.
"What to name her? What to name her? She's like, a cupcake, a muffin, a princess, an angel." Said my daddy, as he continued to look at me, and give me a hug.
"That's it! We'll call her, Angelica! Angelica Charlotte Pickles." Said my daddy excitedly.
"Mind keeping it down? I'm on a very important phone call!" Snapped my mommy.
"No problem snookems." Replied my daddy.
"Oh, and Drew? Don't call me snookems." Said my mommy, as she returned to her phone call.
And that's the story, of my being bornded.
End of Angelica POV
"Satisfied?" Angelica asked, as she once again, paused the video, at an image of Drew holding a tiny Angelica, with only an inch of blond hair on her head, wrapped in pink swottling clothes.
"That was a really nice story Angelica." Said Jesse.
"And I bet ya Tommy and the others would agree with me, it sounded a lot more truthful than your first story." Added Peter.
Tommy and Zack nodded, agreeing with his comment.
"And we've heard you refer to yourself as Angelica C. Pickles before, but we never knew what the middle name really was." Said Chuckie.
"Well now you know, but if you ever use my full middle name, I'll dump sand on your head. So don't you forget it, Finster." Snapped Angelica.
"So, what's the nextest story Angelica?" Tommy asked.
"Hmmm, let's see. Oh yeah, the story of how your dumb old dog." Said Angelica.
"You mean you knew Spike before the rest of us were bornded?" Tommy asked, interrupting Angelica.
"Yeah. Now pipe down so I can tell you the story." Said Angelica, as she unpaused the video, to continue her story.
And we'll learn about Spike, and some tid bits about Angelica's infantile development, in the next chapter.
Author's Notes: Ok, I gave you all freebees on the last chapter, but now that we've had one of our characters be born, it's time to play the guessing game. First question, what episode of Rugrats did Angelica think she was a real princess in, and the babies performed those tests on her? What season was it in? And, when Chuckie ate the pea on the way upstairs for one of the tests, what did they use instead? Next question, Drew called Charlotte Snookems in an episode of Rugrats, and Charlotte asked him to not call her that. Again I ask, what episode was it in, and what season was it from? And finally, Jonathan appeared in two episodes of Rugrats, which ones were they? I'll give you a clue. Both episodes aired before the first movie. As soon as somebody can answer all Rugrats questions correctly in a review, note I said a review, not a PM, I'll give that user a shout out in the chapter following their correct answers. If nobody has answered these questions correctly by the time we reach chapter 10, I'll reveal the answers at that point. Hope you're enjoying this story, and, I'll be back shortly, with another chapter!
