Yeah, I know I said that the previous chapter was the last one but alas inspiration struck, go figure, in all honesty, I was not completely satisfied with how I finished this saga, so I thought that adding this will be a very touching way to go.

Now a brief explanation... Today is April 30th which its "El Dia Del Niño" in Mexico which would translate into "Children's Day" and it's a very big holiday as Tori will explain bellow.

You may be thinking how can Jade and Tori celebrate this if they don't have any kids just yet? Well you're about to find out.


Tori was snickering, noise maker in hand and tiptoeing as she got closer and closer to her unsuspecting wife who was typing away on her laptop on the living room table.

Jade took a sip of her coffee, an opportunity the Latina took as her chance to strike, smirking evilly she put the noise maker in her mouth ready to blow it.

"You do that and I be sticking that noise maker where the sun doesn't shine."

Tori frowned, doing a tongue raspberry instead.

"Real mature Vega."

"How did you know it was me?"

"You weren't as quiet as you thought you were." Jade said. "Plus, I could see your reflection on my laptop and lastly, you're the only other person who lives in this house you big dork."

"Detective work aside, you could at least be a little nicer." Tori suggested. "Especially after I got my very scary wife a surprise."

"I don't like surprises."

"I beg to differ." Tori grinned. "I mean, remember what I did for you Valentine's Day? Or your birthday?"

"Ok fine, I like some surprises." Jade relented. "What's the occasion?"

"Do I really need a reason to do something nice for my wife?" The Latina show back. "Can't I do something just because I love you?"

"Ok now I know you're up to something." The Thespian said. "Spit it out Vega, what crazy ass adventure are you getting us into this time?"

"Do you know what today is?"

"Thursday?"

"Today my scary wife." Tori said dramatically. "Is April 30th!"

"Yeah... You're going to have to elaborate on that Vega." Jade said without enthusiasm. "If this is supposed to be an April Fool's prank, we already went through that hell early this month or did you forget that already?"

"Trust me, I haven't." Tori replied evenly. "Actually, today it's El Dia del Niño!"

Jade stared blankly at her spouse, mentally going through her Spanish trying to see what had gotten over Tori, her eyes widening at the realisation that today was apparently "Children's Day."

"Vega, don't take this the wrong way but... Are you high?" Jade snapped. "That sounds like something you just made up!"

"Nope, it's not something I made up!" Tori said with a wide grin. "Read the phone!"

She got her phone right in front of Jade's face, the thespian reluctant grabbed it and began to read.

"Well I'll be damned." Jade said. "It is a real holiday."

"Told you!"

"But it says here that its celebrated on November 20."

"Yeah, but you forget that your loving wife is part Mexican." Tori said happily "And we celebrate the holiday on April 30th as in today!"

"Why is that?"

"Because while the United Nations recommended November 20 throughout the world, that coincided with the Mexican Revolution day, so instead el Dia del Niño is celebrated on the last day of April."

"Thanks for the history lesson Vega." Jade said with an eye roll. "But in case you haven't noticed we aren't kids anymore nor we we have any."

"True." Tori said mischievously. "But that doesn't change the fact that everyone is a big kid at heart."

Oh no, I see where this is going." The Thespian said, shaking her head rapidly. "I'm going to save you the trouble with whatever you have planned right now... No... No... No...No... And oh yeah... HELL NO!"

"Aw come on Jade." Tori pouted. "El Dia del Niño was my favourite day when I was a little girl, I just want to share this nostalgic holiday with you."

"In case you haven't noticed Vega." Jade sneered. "I didn't have a happy childhood, I don't see why I should celebrate something I never had."

"That's exactly why I want you to celebrate today with me!" Tori said emotionally. "Come on baby, I'm doing this for you."

"How do you figure?"

"Jade, you had to grow up faster than most kids." Tori said with empathy. "It's not fair that your childhood memories always include one tragedy after another, you endured not only neglect but also death and loneliness, you lost your innocence at a very early age and it pains me that you're ok with that."

"The past is the past." Jade shrugged. "You can't change that."

"No, I can't." Tori agreed. "But what I can do give you a piece of the childhood you never had."

"Let's say I were to go along with this crazy idea." The Thespian replied. "What exactly do you have in mind."

"Think hard baby." Tori said. "When you were a kid, were there things you wanted to do but never could?"

"A lot actually." Jade reluctantly admitted. "Believe it or not, when I was a little girl, I made a list of things I wanted to do but never could because my dad never made time for me."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Oh come on, tell me!"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because it's stupid!"

"Jade, you were a kid," Her wife said. "Whatever you wanted to do back then it's not going to be stupid, just tell me, I want to know what ideas you had when you were a little girl."

"Ugh, you're not going to let this go are you?"

"You've known me for ten years." Tori grinned. "What do you think?"

"Ok fine!" Jade snapped. "When I was a little girl, I wanted to go climbing but my dad hated the outdoors, I also wanted to jump on the bed but my parents said, if I break it they would be mad... What else? Ah, I wanted to go horse back riding and the go karts and skating and plenty of other stuff."

"Ok."

"OKAY?!" Jade bellowed. "I just told you the things I missed doing when I was a kid and all you have to say is ok?!"

"Yeah." Tori grinned. "Because now I know what we're going to do that."

"What?!"

The Latina quickly grabbed her wife's hand before she could move away and pulled her towards the first destination of the day.


"You're joking." Jade said unimpressed. "This is your idea of making up for lost time?"

"It's not my idea." Tori teased. "It's yours, remember you said you always wanted to jump on the bed, so I'm making your childhood bucket list come true, here's your chance to rock it our bed."

"Vega, I already rock our bed every chance I get." Jade pointed out. "The last time I did that was last night or did you forget that already?"

"Ok, that was poor choice of words on my part." Tori said with a blush. "Nevertheless, this is your chance to go wild!"

Jade was about to say something but Tori quickly put a finger over her mouth.

"Don't!" She muttered, her face blushing a lot more than before. "Just... Have fun on the bed."

"Care to join me?"

"JADE!"

"Get your head out of the gutter Vega." The thespian smirked "I meant if you would want to jump on the bed with me you dork."

"Oh." Tori said with some embarrassment. "No, I'm good."

Jade took her boots off and stood in front of their bed with some mild reluctance, she felt extremely foolish for what she was about to do but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel somewhat giddy, as if she was finally going to do something naughty and no one was there to stop her.

"Guess that's the child in me."

So taking a deep breath, Jade went into the bed and began jumping like a six year old, all the while her wife looked with a smile on her face.

"WHOO-HOO!"

"How do you feel Jade?"

"Like an dork!" Jade retorted "But a happy dork! So... Like you!"

"Aww... Hey! Wait a minute!" Tori snapped. "You can't call me a dork!"

"Why not?!" Jade asked as she continued jumping. "I do it all the time!"

"Well I'm trying to give you a moment of childhood you never had and this is how you repay me?!"

"Yeah!" The thespian smirked. "What are you going to do about it?"

Tori grabbed one of their pillows and threw it at her wife's face, this made lose her balance and landed on the floor, much to the Latina's horror.

"OH MY GOD JADE!" Tori ran to her spouse's side. "It was an accident! I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!

Jade grabbed the same pillow that was used as ammo and used it to hit Tori right on the head.

"Not so good when it happens to you, does it Vega?!"

"Hey you can't do that!" Tori yells out. "I was making sure you weren't hurt."

"Rule number one Tor." Jade said smugly. "Never let your guard down around me."

"Oh so it's a fight now that you want huh?" The Latina shot back. "Well it's a fight that you're going to get!" She grabbed another pillow and began hitting Jade with it, something of course the thespian returned in kind as she began hitting back with a pillow of her own.


Tori eventually made a tactical retreat when Jade got the upper hand and best to tickle her relentlessly and ran out of the bedroom.

"You can run but you can't hide from me Vega!"

The thespian got out, revealing that in their pillow fights, there had been some casualties and the pillows had payed the price as the feathers were now all over her hair and face, she blew some of it away she continued to look for her wife.

"Here Vega, Vega, Vega." Jade sang evilly. "We're not done playing, come back here and give your loving wife some much deserved love."

She made it to a closet and opened it. "AH HA!"

Nothing.

"She we are playing hide and seek." Jade said under her breath. "No worries there Vega, I'm going to find you."

She unknowingly walked away from the Latina who snickered mischievously as she got down from her hiding place, the ceiling, she somehow managed to pull of the spider-man move.

"That was fun." She said. "But as long as Jade's distracted, I think I have the time to do another battle, as just need ammunition."

She walked over to the closet, which ironically it was the first place looked for her.


An hour later, Jade was still looking for Tori and safe to say she was getting aggravated.

"Let it be known that hide and seek sucks!"

She was now in the backyard, standing in from of an old oak tree, she looked up with mild interest.

"Well I did want to go climbing." Jade muttered. "This is a good a time as any."

Slowly but surely she went up the tree, grabbing onto one branch and the next and the next until she was high up on the tree, unsurprisingly she was a bit out of breath.

"That took longer than I expected." Jade muttered. "Good thing Vega wasn't here to see that."

Jade looked at the neighbourhood, from her vantage point, she could see some kids playing with their parents, deep down she felt some resentment that her own parents never spent that much time with her when she was a little girl, always working, always fighting but never around for their daughter when she needed them and when her mother died, her father's whole world simply revolved around his work, her basically raised herself.

"Is it any wonder how I turned out this way?"

She sat on the branch for a while, looking away from the children and instead into the window of her bedroom, not a moment too soon as she noticed movement from within.

"Vega?" Jade though "What are you up to now?"

Jade made her way down the tree and was about to enter the house.

... Big mistake.

The moment she made it to the back door, she was splashed with a water balloon.

"WHAT IN THE BLUE FUCK?!"

"Bullseye!"

Jade's left eye began to twitch uncontrollably. "Vega..." She said ominously before looking up at the open window where her wife waved not so innocently.

"Hi Jade."

"Vega... I'm going to kill you!" The thespian snarled. "Come down here and die like a woman!"

"Umm nah!" She replied back. "I rather fight like a kid!"

So she once more threw a water ballon, that Jade unfortunately didn't evade.

"THAT'S IT!" She bellowed "YOU'RE DEAD!"

She made it inside before Tori could hit her with another water balloon, her eyes of course widened in terror.

"Oh boy, in retrospect I probably should've locked the back door before I threw the first water ballon."

"Yeah! You should have!" Jade snarled as she entered their bedroom with murder in her blue eyes, those same eyes which landed on the mountain of water balloons, she made a quick jump to the other side of the room and mercilessly began to strike Tori with her own ammunition.

"Aahhh!" She yelled out "That's cold!"

"And it's about to get colder in here!" Jade snapped. "This means war Vega!"

Tori get getting hit with her own water balloons, having no other choice she made yet another tactical retreat in search of some new weak. To defend herself, eventually making her way to the kitchen.

"Here Vega, Vega, Vega." Jade sang with false sweetness. "Won't you come out and play with me?"

She only had three water balloons so she would have to make them count before she had to go to their bedroom and recharge.

Jade wasn't about to take any chances and looked in all directions to make sure Tori wouldn't be hiding somewhere nearby or make run for it.

However good she believed to be, Tori was undoubtedly sneaky as she grabbed the first thing available which was cooling on the window.

"BANZAI!"

She threw an apple pie at Jade's unsuspecting face.

Thus, the water balloon battle quickly became a food fight.

Jade blindly threw the water balloons at any direc, missing the Latina and she barely was able to dodge them.

"Oh it's going down like that huh?" The thespian growls. "Hope you like cheese to become a burger Vega!"

Jade began to throw tomatoes, onions and cheese her wife's way, Tori squealed as she ran away but not before grabbing whatever was available to fight back which of course was ice cream, she grabbed it with her bare hand, trying to not think about the cold as she intended to hit her target.

Which was easier said than done.


Meanwhile outside, Trina parked in front of her sister's house.

"Hope Tori won't mind if I ask her for a favor, I could really use an outfit for tonight."


Back inside the married couple continued with their food fight.

"AHA! Bullseye!" The thespian proclaimed smugly "How do you like them apples Vega!"

"I don't know Jade!" Tori shot back. "You tell me!"

She threw some apples hey way, missing Jade by a few inches and turning to mush on the wall.

"HA! You missed!"

She then got hit in the face with some mash potatoes.

"Did I Jade?" Tori replied smugly. "Did I?"

"YOU ARE SO DEAD!"

"You keep saying that." Tori said airily. "Yet, here I am."

Both women grabbed whatever food was available and threw it horribly out of their intended due in part for their poor vision at the time.

Trina unfortunately opened the front door at that exact same time.

"Hey Tori!" She greeted. "I was wondering if I could borrow some..."

Splat! She got hit right in the face with what she hope was chocolate pudding.

Trina removed some of the food for her eyes and saw the mess that was her sister's house as well as the mess she and her spouse were in.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!"

"Celebrating El Dia del Niño." Jade replied with a face that seems to say 'Duh' "What does it look like less talented Vega?"


After a shower and a change into some clean clothes Jade and Tori were in their bedroom, the only place in the house that wasn't covered in food.

"Damn, it's going to be a pain in the ass to clean everything." Jade groaned. "What the hell were we thinking?"

"That we were having fun?" Tori said coyly. "You can't deny that."

"I can and will." She shot back. "I will say this was a thrill, who knew you had it in you Vega to be dangerous with water and food?"

"I was dangerous?" The Latina asked incredulously. "What about you with the cheese? I swear you're deadlier with that than you were with your scissors!"

"I do have a knack for turning anything into a weapon." Jade snickered.

"That... You do."

Tori sat down next to her wife in their bed, resting her head on Jade's shoulder.

"Vega?"

"Yeah baby?"

"Thank you." She said. "For giving me a little bit of my childhood back."

"You're welcome Jade."

She then gave her a peck on the cheek.

"You think we'll have this much fun when we have our kids?"

This took The Latina by surprise.

"You're thinking about having kids someday?"

"Why not?" Jade shrugs. "If anything, I would like to give them the childhood I never had."

"That's a nice thought baby." Tori said. "And you know what? I don't have any doubts that you'll be an amazing mom."

"Right back at you Vega."

They sat in their bed quietly but happily, staring out the window as the sun sets.

"Someday."


And that my dear readers it's the end... For real this time, as I said I was struck with inspiration and this had to be done, I mean the idea of Jade experiencing some of the childhood she never had was something that needed to be done, not to mention it gives her closure, all thanks to Tori,

I also think that looking into the future seems like the perfect way to end this saga, especially since we know Jade and Tori are going to be good parents.

Finally, El día del niño is a very big event in Mexico since children either get to be out of school or they have a "free day" in school and in some cases even get presents, I thought that in Jade's case, the best thing Tori could've given her is the feeling of being a kid at heart.

But what do you guys think?

Remember, constructive criticism is always appreciated.
