Spells and Louds

Chapter 281: Gwen Austin Spellman

(April 21, Royal Woods Spa.)

Gwen sighs as she embraces the soothing steam all around her and her husband, Neil who is also there next to her.

"This is the best gift I have ever gotten from you" said Gwen.

"Nothing is too good for you, that and I got this coupon for a day of free spa from the newspaper two days ago" replied Neil.

Gwen chuckles. "This is still awesome and so relaxing, and I thought you might have gotten me a private island vacation or something."

Neil looks to her. "How did you know about that gift?"

Gwen looks to her husband. "You're planning on that aren't you?"

Neil sighs. The jig was up. "Yeah, for next week or when we're both heading to thirty, either way."

They then return to some relaxing steam time alone together. "I wonder what the kids are up to."

"Probably planning the whole party, obviously. They did tell us to go out and enjoy ourselves and we both know that they're planning a surprise party, and probably doing so with many of your Total Drama friends" replied Neil.

"Yeah, I doubt Heather and Alejandro will be there, they both have plans for their new life in Spain" replied Gwen. "But sure as heck my best gal pals will show up."

"It's gonna be one hell of a party. Let's just hope Geoff didn't invite Brody to the whole thing, that guy is not the sharpest turn in the tidal surf" said Neil.

Gwen snickers. "That you're not wrong on. So, what's next after this steam?"

"Mud" replied Neil.

"Oh, hell yeah" replied Gwen. "Twenty four as of now, but still kickin' in style and whoopin' some evil ass!"

Hearing his wife say that made him feel like something was gonna happen, like someone dangerous and also awesome is coming, someone Neil knows from Gwen's dad's side of the family. He just shrugs it off and clears his thoughts. He knows the kids got this party setup all wrapped up.

(Spellman Estate.)

All of the kids get into positions and get everything else ready, they all did one heck of a background check on their mom Gwen A. Spellman and everything is set and ready.

Almost, they still have to wait for the arrival of Gwen's mom and brother, aka their grandma and uncle.

Also, they weren't alone when they setup this party in the backyard. They had some Total. Drama. Help!

That's right, her friends are already there: Beth, Lindsay, Leshawna, Zoey, Mike, Cameron, Dawn, Sammy, Cody, probably Sierra, B, Sky, Noah, Izzy, Kitty, Emma, Owen, Bridgette, Geoff and TJ and of course we got the Royal Defenders all there to celebrate as well.

"Alright everyone! Let's see if we got all of this right!" said Lincoln.

"The blueberry cake the shape of her Ford 1967 Mustang is all set and ready for her!" said Bridgette.

"And I'm making sure Owen doesn't get to any of the food!" said Izzy, she tied up Own.

"Come on guys! Can't I have a nibble?" asked Owen as he struggles.

"No!" they all replied.

"Her fave jams are all set and ready, and I made sure it was Punk rock!" said Luna.

"All the decorations are in her favorite color!" said Leni.

"You guys sure we can't add any pink into this?" asked Lindsay.

"We're sure Lindsay. This is Gwen's favorite color, Midnight blue" replied Beth.

"And we have all the gifts ready for her, I even got mine all packaged up and with some holes" said Sunset.

"We also got her some cool stuff, I hope she likes em" said Geoff.

"That depends, what did you get her?" asked Duchess.

"Sorry dudette, but that one's a surprise" replied Geoff.

"Awesome guys, looks like everything is going all according to plan" said Linka.

"We just gotta wait for grandma and Uncle Steven to come" said Timmy.

"Wait a minute! Her two family members are coming?" asked Leshawna.

"They are, we made sure they got some sort of transport so they can come here, it's a long way from Canada" said Lincoln.

"I thought her mom and brother lived in Oregon" said Cody.

"That was when her mom was married, they moved to Canada after her pops kicked the bucket" replied Luna.

They felt bad that she lost her dad two years after her brother was born, but they had to be strong for her.

Then they spot something coming from the sky. "And here comes the package!" said Linka.

A Special Ops Dropship arrives and lands onto the backyard, the one piloting is none other than Jack Cyber. "Commanders, we got the package. I repeat, we got the package."

The back door of the dropship opens and they see it was Hailey Austin and Steven Ray Austin. Gwen's mom and little brother.

"Grandma!" the Spellman kids all rush to her and she welcomed them with open arms and into one big group hug.

"Wow, and I thought seeing our mom makes them happy" said Sergei.

"When it comes to family, I guess having another grandmother is worth it all" said Leon.

"And I am glad I made this trip for Gwen' birthday and this is the second time I get to speak with Hailey" said Diane Spellman.

They then break the hug with their grandmother. "Oh my goodness, look at all of you. Such amazing growing children with such amazing talent. Even though we're not related in blood, it's still nice to have some family. Or in my case, grandkids" said Hailey.

"And this is Lily" Leni hands her the youngest in the family.

Hailey carries the baby and boops her nose and kisses her forehead. "And you are just the sweetest thing I have ever met, hello there Lily."

Lily giggles. "Gwamma! Gwamma!"

"Aww!" coming from everyone.

They then look to Steven. "Hey Uncle Steven." They greeted.

Steven chuckles. "I've never been an uncle before, and this is kinda surprising that I am right here in front of my nephews and nieces who all seem surprisingly older, almost."

"We were adopted before we had our next birthdays, so we were kinda minors or kids at that point" said Sunset.

Steven then looks to Luna. "And I am impressed at the musical one in the family, I also respect how close you are to your little bro. Just like how close Gwen and I were when we were kids back then."

"Thanks Uncle dude, I gotta do whatever I can to keep my little bro safe. After all that we've been through" replied Luna.

Hailey then hands Lily over to sunset and she hugs Lincoln and Linka. "Well aren't you all little troopers! I am amazed at the leadership you two seem to show when it comes to action, like soldiers."

Lincoln and Linka hug her back. "Thanks grandma Hailey!"

Hailey felt proud hearing that from them. "And for once I have to say something to all of you, my grandchildren."

They were confused. "I am happy to see Gwen with someone who she can call her equal. Someone who cares for others and does whatever he can to help bring justice to those who have wronged the innocent and look where it has led to. This amazing family, and all of these amazing friends. I am truly proud of Gwen and all that she has been through, with Neil Spellman of course."

Hailey then looks to Diane. "Hello Diane."

"Hello Hailey, those were some really sweet words" said Diane.

"All true and I know Gwen's dad would be happy to see her as the woman she is now" said Hailey.

Then she gets hugged from behind by Gwen. Hailey is shocked and so is everyone else.

They all turn to see Neil smiling. "The mud baths were closed, so we came back home early."

Hailey then turns around and sees the smiling and tear-filled face of her now 24 year old daughter Gwen. "Oh Gwen!" She hugs her.

Gwen hugs her back and cries a little bit. "You came! You actually came here!"

"Of course my dear, I would never turn away from my little girls birthday" They then break the hug and she looks to the kids. "But it was all thanks to your children, they were the ones who contacted me and your brother and told us to come here and also provide the ride as well."

Gwen and Neil were shocked. Gwen then runs to her kids and they run to her into a group hug.

"You kids are the best! Thank you!" cried Gwen as she hugs them all.

"Happy Birthday mom!" they all replied.

All of their friends and teammates all shed some tears and clap, and Own didn't feel hungry anymore.

Gwen then turns around and sees her brother. "Hey sis."

Gwen wipes away her tears and hugs Steven. He smiles and hugs her back. "It's good to see you again bro."

Steven chuckles and hugs her back. "And it's good to see you too sis."

Lincoln and Luna smiled at this, it looked like they're bond as well. A Special Sibling Bond.

Gwen and Steven break the hug, they both fist bump and then Gwen ruffles his hair. "You're still my little musical brother."

Steven straightens his hair. "And you're still my older gothic sister."

Hailey then hugs both of them. "And I love how close and supportive you are with each other!" They both smile and hug their mom.

"Happy Birthday Gwen" said Hailey and Steven.

Gwen was filled with so much joy for her two family members to be there, as well as all of her friends, family and teammates.

Lincoln and Linka then get a message from their phones, it was a text from someone. I'm here! And sure as hell I am ready!

Lincoln and Linka smile and nod at each other, it was time for their gift to commence.

"Mom." Gwen turns around to look at Lincoln and Linka. "We have a special gift for you, I hope you'll like it."

"Okay, what is it?" asked Gwen.

They then use their phone. "Now!"

Then they all hear some glass shattered and a theme some, I Won't Do What You Tell Me!

This made Gwen and her mom and brother's eyes go wide and their pupils shrink. This put some fear into Neil. "Oh, Hell no!"

They all hear the sound of an engine and then coming from the side of the house passing by Leon, Sergei, Diane and Gyro was Gwen's uncle! Her dad's big brother! The Baddest Superstar in WWE! WWE Hall of Famer! The Texas Rattlesnake! Stone Cold Steve Austin!

The man arrives on a quad bike and drives past everyone with a bad ass attitude. Gwen looks and her uncle and is shocked. "Oh hell no."

He passes by the cake and flips off at Geoff. "Oh hell no" said Hailey.

He passes by the Spellman kids and high fives each of them. "Oh hell no" said Steven.

He then drives by the Pokemon, the pets and pretty much everyone one in the party. And many of them were 'stunned' to see this guy actually here! "Oh hell no!" said Neil.

Stone Cold then stops his quad right in front of Gwen and he stands on the handles yelling. "Oh. Hell. Yeah!"

They are all silent at first, but then they all cheer and clap.

"Why is he here?" Leon asks Sergei.

"No clue, maybe he's Gwen's fave superstar" replied Leon.

"In all my years, I never thought I'd see the Texas Rattlesnake here in royal Woods at Spellman Estate, this has got to be some gift those twins came up with" said Peter as he claps.

Stone cold then jumps off his quad and hugs Gwen, she smiles and hugs him back.

"Happy Birthday darlin" said Stone Cold.

"Glad you're here uncle" replied Gwen.

"Uncle?!" they all say in shock.

They soon break the hug. Stone Cold then hugs Hailey. "Good to see ya too Hails."

"Please, don't ever call me that" chuckled Hailey.

"Oh come on now, that was the same funny nickname we gave you when we were all in high school" replied Stone Cold.

"True, but we're not high school kids anymore and we're not in San Antonio Texas" said Hailey.

Then Stone Cold looks to Steven. "Well, if it isn't the kid who was named after me. Sorta."

Steven chuckles and fist bumps his uncle. "It's good to see ya too Uncle Austin."

Stone Cold then goes to Neil and they shake hands. "Glad to see you again."

"Same here Stone cold, same here and still kicking ass like a bad ass" said Neil.

"Hell yeah!" said Stone Cold.

Stone Cold then looks to everyone who is still shocked. "What? What's wrong with all your faces?"

They all had one thing to say. "He's your uncle?!"

Gwen, Hailey, Steven, Neil and Stone cold respond with a. "Oh. Hell. Yeah!"

Theme song - I Won't Do What You Tell Me!

(Skip.)

Everyone enjoys this amazing birthday that was meant for Gwen.

Gwen has some nice conversations with her friends and ask how they were doing.

Hailey gets to know all of her grandkids, and so does Steven, he wants to know more about the kids he calls his nephews and nieces and sure as hell Stone Cold wanted to be part of that.

Even though this was supposed to be Gwen's birthday, she was okay with her uncle Stone cold bringing his cans of beer, in which he and Sergei spent some time drinking. They have to keep an eye on Stone Cold.

Rick Rosato and some others wanted the Texas Rattlesnake's autograph. He was kind to oblige.

Owen was finally allowed to eat, but he had to restrain himself otherwise there won't be any for everyone else.

Gwen was able to open some of her gifts.

Duchess got her a small porcelain statue of a Gothic style ballerina.

Sunset got her two new pet lizards, since her last pet lizards died years ago. She named these two horned lizards, Angus the 2nd and Vampyress.

Leni got her a special black dress that she made, for when it was time for Neil and Gwen's wedding anniversary.

Luna got her some fresh mixed Punk Rock beats that she and Sam made.

Timmy got her some pajamas that has the patterns of stars, she does love astronomy.

Lily gave her a nice warm hug and a kiss on her cheek, this made Gwen happy.

Leon and Sergei pitched in and found a one of a kind snow globe with the model of the most haunted castle in England in it.

Bridgette got her bestie some new dark and bluish colored hair dye, turns out Gwen's hair is dyed and her real hair is brown. Just like her mom.

Leshawna got Gwen, and Neil two tickets to Paris, if they ever feel like going there for their wedding anniversary. They're both gonna have to think about it.

I question why Geoff got her a surf board.

And pretty much, she got some cool and memorable gifts from her other friends and family.

Luna and Leni go to Lincoln and Linka. "So, you two knew about that man being mom's uncle?" asked Leni.

"We did" they replied.

"Wow! When did you two knew about this?" asked Luna.

"April five" replied Lincoln and Linka.

It hit Leni and Luna, they know what was on that day. "WrestleMania 36!"

Lincoln and Linka smirk. "Oh hell yeah!"

This was one birthday, Gwen will never forget and she was greatful for the family and friends she has and for more memorable moments to come.

"I'm surprised you guys didn't bring Shiva and the raptor pack here" said Gwen.

"We are not doing that" said Victor.

"We were close to, sorta" replied Boomer.
