TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 2-2

[meanwhile, bk at the mansion, Paul was doing his college assignment in the study room wen the door bell rang]

Paul: Bertha, mind getting the door?

Bertha; 8looked out the peephole8

[it was Paul's girl friends Eli n Anna]

Bertha; 8let them in8

Eli: Hey, Bertha. Is Paul home?

Bertha; In the study my dears

Eli: Thanks [came in hand in hand with Anna]

Anna; 8followed her8

Eli: [located the study n knocked]

Paul: Come in

8the both entered8

Paul: Hey, girls! Oh my Hector, its been forever! How did u find this plc?

Eli: We had an app for tht. U texted us ur address so we drove our way here

Paul: U got ur license now?

Eli: Yup, n so did Anna, bt I took the wheel this time

Anna; How are ya feelin' Paul/

Paul: Good. Sorry I nvr exactly invited u guys to come to our new home. Would u like a tour? [stood up]

Eli: [sees his baby bump] Woah, ur knocked up again?

Paul: [blinked n blushed sheepishly]

Anna; Congrats

Eli: U lucky sonofagun, u [nudged him gently] So do we get the tour ard the house?

Paul: Sure, right this way [called out] Bertha, can u get snacks ready at the lounge room? I'm going to give my friends the tour

Bertha; Of course laddie

Paul: Thanks, Bertha [proceeded to show the girls ard the house, telling them the story abt their misadventures while trying to exorcise the plc]

8there were some portraits of those they helped painted by Thrax, Sakura, Rory n Pendragon8

Eli: Wow, tht is some serious artwork there

Paul: Thanks to my family. They're the talented ones

Eli: Aww, ur talented too. U make wicked cakes n pastries!

Anna; We all have our strong areas

Paul: True that

[the tour soon ended n they made their way to the lounge room where the snacks n drinks were ready]

Paul: Help yourselves. Bertha n I made those pastries yesterday

Eli: Don't mind if I do

Anna; 8took one n bit into it9 Delicious

Eli: [ate one as well ] Mmm~~ I feel like a foodgasm coming in...

Paul: [chuckles] Thanks for the compliment

Anna; 8helped herself to a drink8

Paul: [stared at them for a while] U knw, I sense there is something else tht ur here for besides wanting to visit my home. Call it a mayor's intuition. Wats bothering u?

Eli: [hesitated for a while before sighing as she held Anna's hand] I'm not sure if u've already figured it out bt...Anna and I...We're together now, as in seriously together

Anna; 8gave it a gentle squueze8

Paul: Well, I shouldn't be surprised. U two are practically joined in the hip since the first time I met u. I had my suspicions

Eli: Well... The thing is...our parents weren't as accepting as u are

Paul: Wat? At this day and age where there are so many same-sex couples ard here in Goliath City?

Anna; And mixed race

Eli: Yeah, well, we've nvr told u this before bt...our families were part of a secret cult tht preaches cell purity

Paul: Oh my Hector, u guys still hv cults like these?

Anna; Ya think only in the humans but never the gargoyles

Eli: Yeah. Remember that incident u told me before abt that cult tht got ur uncles in trouble? The one that was a huge scandal with one of the members being obsessed with ur Uncle Takashi?

Paul: Yeah. U mean ur family was frm tht cult?

Eli: A smaller branch tht kept in the shadows. The ones that didn't go to drastic measures to kidnap ppl, bt still practice cell purity nonetheless

Anna; 8rolled her eyes8

Paul: So wat happened wen u guys announced ur relationship?

Eli: Wat do u think? Our parents were absolutely pissed, of course. My parents think tht it is a phase, tht I should go for counseling n intensified my cult sessions to, as the humans call it, "pray the gay away". Anna had it evn worse. They thought it was a mental disease n tht she needed to be cured, so they had her committed to an asylum funded by the cult. N...well, I just rescued her out of there, n we're on the lam, so to speak

Anna; 8gripped her fists8

Paul: Oh my. U think ur parents r looking for u?

Eli: [shook her head] Probably not. They want to keep their cult a secret. If they were to hunt us dwn, they'll risk exposing themselves to the public abt their cult. U can say we're...pretty much disowned now

Anna; 8snorts8

Paul: U girls got any plc to stay?

Eli: [shook her head]

Anna; 8shook her head8

Paul: I'll hv to ask Mordred abt this bt I'm sure u can bunk in with us for now. We've got too many rooms n we're planning to hv some of them rented out for extra income

Anna; Are you sure/

Paul: Yeah, its no big, reli. I'd welcome u anytime [looked at the time] Ooh, Mordred should be bk any minute now. We can ask him then

Eli: Sure. In the meantime [nommed another cake] Mmmm~~ Foodgasm...!!

Anna; 8giggled8

Sakura; 8reacted, grabbing them n threw them into the lockers8

Terry: [winced as he hit the lockers] Hey, its OK. Its me

Rory; 8in reaction nearly struck her8

Terra: [dodged it swiftly n swerved to face him] Hey, its me. Geez, not u too. I thought u'd be cooler than ur sis

Rory; Sorry, reflex ya know I don't like being startled

Terra: I didnt meant to startle u. It wasn't evn a jumpscare type of tap. I thought u'd recognize tht by now [took his hand n walked with him anyways]

Rory; 8gave it a gently squeeze8

Terra: Sakura still being snippy ard Terry, huh?

Rory; 8nods8

Terra: I'm not evn tht snippy on my period

Rory; All females n she-males are affected differently

Terra: Well, lets just hope once its ovr, she'll be bk to her normal self, sorta. So wat classes r u hving?

Needless to say their day was quite eventful]

Sakura; 8had kept to herself the entire day8

Terry: [accompanied her whenever he could, bt kept a safe distance frm her n just there for moral support, not speaking to her unless he needed to]

Sakura; 8grabbed her books from her locker n stuffed them into her bag before heading out8

Terry: [went aftr her] Hey, Sakura. Wait up!

[someone came frm the corner n bumped into Sakura, spilling the things she was carrying n dropping her bag]

Fee: Oow! Watch where ur... [looked at her] Sakura? Wow, I've heard rumors abt u frm the grade school dept, bt I didnt think it was true. U reli do hv a growth spurt

Sakura; 8glared n gathered her things8

Terry: [caught up] Phoebe, wat r u doing here?

Fee: I told u not to call me tht! My name is Fee!

Sakura; 8snorted n headed off8

Fee: Hey, u still owe me a date!

Terry: Get it thru ur thick skull, Fee. She's MY girlfriend, not urs. N ur practically too young for her now, so there [follows aftr Sakura]

Sakura; 8nods8

Mirage: Something to do with ur growth spurt, I presume?

Sakura; And my cycle

Mirage: [nodded] Ain't u gonna wait for ur sibs at least? U kinda just gone off. They gonna be OK?

Sakura; This ain't the only bus

Mirage: [shrugged] True. Since ur still hungry, wanna drop by n hang out at the new cafe across frm ur condo? I havent been there yet, I wanna try their cakes. I heard its good

Rory; 8hid8

Terra: Sorry, I didnt mean it tht way. We can still hang out at my plc, or here in ur plc, just until my growth catches up with u

Rory; Don't know how those with 'stunted growth' cope

Terra: One day at a time, I suppose. I can't pretend to say I can understand them, bt maybe now I might, since I'm technically "stunted growth" with u [giggled]

Ozzy: /Don't be a stranger. Stay for dinner/

Thrax; 8smiled at his son8

Paul: OK bt I hv to tell Mordred tho

Ozzy: /Ask him to join us. We're all family now. It's been a while we had dinner with just us n u guys/

Thrax; It has been too long

Paul: [nodded] Alright, I'll let him knw [dials Pendragon's cell]

Pendragon; Hello/

Paul: Hey, hun. U busy?

Pendragon; Just finishing up

Paul: Momma invited us to stay for dinner. I drove ovr here to babysit my sibs, so u might wanna leave ur car at the campus n take the bus or the cab to get here, so tht we won't hv to drive separately

Pendragon; Sure, I'll be there soon

Paul: Alright, cya, love ya [hung up] He's good

Ozzy: [nodded] /Help me out to make dinner?/

Paul: Sure [followed him to the kitchen]

Thrax; 8went to check on the others8

[all the kids were still sleeping, the painkillers n the lotion doing their effect]

Thrax; 8set the files in the office8

Ozzy: /Hv ur sibs had their meal while we were gone?/

Paul: Yeah, I gave them a big helping of early dinner. The growth spurt made them reli hungry. They wolfed dwn everything. Bertha n I gave them a spit bath before tucking them all in

Bertha; Just hope this clears up soon

Ozzy: /It will be, just need to keep up with the treatment Drix prescribed/

Paul: [translated to Bertha]

Bertha; 8nods8

[dinner was soon completed n the table was set]

Thrax; 8took a seat8

Paul: [brought out the food] We're hving beef stew today with rice, Pops

Thrax; Sounds good

Ozzy: [brought out the rice]

Thrax; 8sorted the portions8

Paul: [licked his lips] Can I hv a bit more? [sat dwn]

Thrax; Sure 8added more8

Paul: Thanks

Ozzy: [hears the doorbell] /Oh tht must be Mordred/ [answered the door]

Pendragon; Hey sorry I'm late

Ozzy: [typed on his phone] No, no, ur just in time. We just got started. Come in, come in [let him in]

Paul: [turned to see him] Hey, hun

Pendragon; 8kissed him8

Paul: [kissed him bk] How was work?

Pendragon; Quiet

Paul: [nodded]

Ozzy: [gestured him to take a seat while he got him a plate]

Pendragon; 8sat next to his mate8

Paul: [nuzzled him as he ate] Bertha is feeding the girls ovr there [pointed at them sitting at the dining counter]

Pendragon; 8went over n kissed them both on the cheek8

Girls: [giggled at the kiss] Papa~

Pendragon; Have you two been good/

Girls: [gave him a cheeky smile]

Paul: [chuckles] Come hv ur dinner, hun, before it gets cold

Ozzy: [served him a helping of beef stew n rice]

Pendragon; Thanks 8sat down n started eating8

[they all enjoyed their meal, with small talk in btwn]

Thrax; 8smiled at the group8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-7

[the duo soon arrived there]

Ozzy: [exits the car n waited at the entrance for Thrax to catch up]

Thrax; 8ran up8

Ozzy: [took his hand, smiled n entered the precinct]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[the precinct looked like it had seen better days. Unlike Eduardo's office tht was busting with life n criminals being booked in n out all day, this plc looked like it had nvr seen a criminal in yrs or nvr evn caught a single break. The workers there were either at the computer going online or chatting or playing computer games or were at the break room reading, playing cards or just sipping at coffee aimlessly, n it was severely understaffed]

Ozzy: /Oi vey, its evn worse than my precinct bk in Frank/

Thrax; 8winced8

Ozzy: [approached the police counter, n typed on his phone to show the police clerk in charge there] I'm here to see Officer Devin O'Melanoma

Officer; 8looked at him with a arched brow8

Ozzy: [turned to Thrax for help]

Thrax; 8asked the officer for O'Melanoma8

Ozzy: [rolled his eyes] /I just showed him tht on my phone. Can't believe he rather talk to u than me/

8they were led to a back office8

Devin: [was sitting at his desk, clicking away boredly]

Thrax; 8clleared his throat8

Devin: [looked up] Oh hey. I remember u. I've been handling ur missing case

Ozzy: [nodded]

Thrax; We need to talk

Devin: [nodded] I'm all ears

Thrax; 8explained the situation8

Devin: I see. So ur thinking of liaison with us instead of Ed's precinct?

Ozzy: [nodded]

Devin: Yeah, I've dealt with Ed before. He's a bit of a hot head n can come out as brash, bt his heart is more or less in the right plc. I'm not sure wat I can do to help, tho. As u can see in our precinct, we dont get much action ard these parts. Our crime rates ard here are mediocre petty crimes at best

Thrax; 8rubbed his chin8

Ozzy: [gestured a "May I?" at the computer]

Devin: Sure? [moved aside]

Ozzy: [leans in to the computer, opened the notepad app n typed] It's alright, Devin. U sound like an upright guy n we trust u would be cool with us. Aftr all, who knws, u might catch a break wen ur with us on this partnership

Thrax; Depending how things go

Devin: [thought abt it] I guess I could use a little action. The biggest we had so far was ur disappearance. U might just prove interesting yet

Thrax; 8looked at ozzy8

Ozzy: [smiled n typed] U got urself a deal [held out his hand to shake]

Devin: [shook it] Welcome to Precinct 15

Thrax; 8shook his hand8

Ozzy: [gave him his business card, then typed] Any cases tht u hv tht needs solving?

Devin: Filing room is dwn at the basement. Knock urselves out

Thrax; 8lead ozzy down8

Ozzy: [entered the basement, n the guy in charge there was reading comic books with headphones on n his feet on the table counter]

Thrax; 8rolled his eyes, lifting the comic away8

Guy: Hey wat the... [sees Oz n Thrax, took off his headphones] Can I help u gentlemen?

Thrax; 8explained to him8

Guy: Hold up, lemme make a call to confirm [dialed Devin's line] Hey, O'Mel, u sent someone here to chk out case files? ...OK, yeah, alright, sure. Thanks for the headsup [hangs up] Yeah, all good, go ahead to the bk. Plenty for u to choose frm [snatches the comic bk frm Thrax, put on the headphones n returned to his position]

Thrax; 8glared then headed to the room8

Ozzy: [followed behind him n looked ard at the slightly vacant space] Wow, looks like the filing room has more room than it should

Thrax; 8quickly sorted them n smirked8

Ozzy: [looked thru the files n vetoed out the ones tht was not worth taking]

Thrax; 8llooked through a few8

Ozzy: /I got some unsolved burglaries n some cold cases, minor crimes/

Thrax; same here

Ozzy: /I suppose we could take these/

Thrax; 8sorted them out8

Ozzy: [found an empty unwanted box for him to put the files]

Thrax; 8imput the files n lifted the box8

Ozzy: [walked behind him as they left the filing room, waving at the officer sitting there still reading his comics]

Guy: [caught his wave frm the corner of his eye n waved bk, not looking up frm his comic]

Thrax; 8rolled his eyes8

Ozzy: [giggled quietly] /Can't blame him, this precinct havent seen action in a long time. I wonder why tho. Prolly coz their plc is out in the boonies/

Thrax; Possibly

Ozzy: /I'll hv to get home to draw up a written agreement so tht Devin can sign n say tht we're working with him now/

Thrax; 8nods8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-6

[the rest of the day went by without much incident. Evryone was informed of Hecro & Hecra and Ricardo's birth, as well as Ricardo finally out of his self-induced coma]

Ozzy: [got the text frm both Maximus n Antonio regarding the news n showed Thrax]

Thrax; 8looked n smiled8 Busy day

Ozzy: /Yup, definitely, especially for Drix/

Thrax; 8sniggers8

Ozzy: [remembered something] /Hey, remember Takashi mentioning abt this cop Devin O'Melanoma he called wen we went "missing"?/

Thrax; Yeah?

Ozzy: /Was thinking maybe we could finally get dwn to chking him n his precinct out. Our cases r almost running out n finishing, n Frank knws I'm not gonna go begging to Eduardo/

Thrax; When Hell freezes over

Ozzy: /Yeah, so wanna go chk out Devin? Introduce ourselves n maybe start a partnership wtih his precinct?/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: /I'll need to call someone who is available to look aftr the kids while we're gone, though/

Thrax; 8called round8

[after a few calls, Paul was the one who seemed available]

Paul: Hey, Pops, wassup?

Thrax; Paul are you free to watch your siblings/

Paul: Yeah, I'm free. Today is my free period. Is something the matter?

Thrax; Ozzy n I  are going to meet Devin O'Melanoma at his precinct

Paul: Alright. I'll bring Bertha along too, just in case. Bt why should I watch them tho? I thought they're capable of house-sitting themselves

Thrax; They're going through a rough time

Paul: How do u mean?

Thrax; Puberty developement

Paul: Oh, OK. Alright. I'll be there in 10mins

Thrax; Thanks my boy

Paul: [hung up n called out] Bertha, get the girls ready. We're going to my parents' house to watch my sibs while they go out to work

Bertha; 8nods n went to get the girls ready8

Paul: [once evryone was done, took the car keys n let evryone bundled into the car before he drove dwn to the condo, thankful tht he has his driving license so he could use the car wen Pendragon is at work n unavailable to give him a ride]

Bertha; 8was with the girls I the back8

[in 10mins, give or take 5 extra mins, they were soon at the condo]

Paul: [parked the car, got out n waited for Bertha n the kids before going to Thrax's floor, then rang the doorbell]

Thrax; 8let them in8

Paul: Hey, Pops. R they OK? Where r they right now?

Thrax; In their rooms

Paul: OK. I'll watch them. U guys can go do ur thing

Ozzy: [was dressed in his signature clothes] /Alright, thanks, ur a life saver. We won't be long/

Paul: Its OK. Take all the time u need

Thrax; 8ruffled his hair n left with Ozzy8

Ozzy: [held Thrax's hand n made his way to their car]

Thrax; 8started the car n they drove to the precinct8

Ozzy: [looked at the list of precincts with their leading officers] /If I'm not mistaken, this Devin fellow is in Precinct 15/

Thrax; 8headed there8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-5

[evryone received the good news frm Maximus, including Antonio's family, tho Ricardo has yet to awake frm his coma. The kids were laying nxt to him, worried]

Antonio; 8stroked his hair8

Carlos: Is Mami going to be OK, Papi?

Antonio; Hopefully Carlos

Milagro: Baby? [pointed at Ricardo's slightly overdue belly]

Antoniio; I'll need to call Drix to check on him

Carlos: OK, we'll watch ovr Mami, right, Juanita?

Juanita; Sii

Ricardo: [slowly started to stir, wincing a little n soon his water broke]

Carlos: Uh-oh, Papi, Mami is peeing!

Antonio; 8checked8 That's not urine Carlos 8quickly called Drix8

Drix: [was in the middle of his Long John Sandwich lunch, answered the call] Hello?

Antonio; We have a emergency Drix

Drix: Its Ricky, isn't it? Wow, Mr Stork sure's working overtime today. I'll be right there [finishes his sandwich as fast as he could n left while sipping his coffee]

Ricardo: [starting to wake now as the contractions came in] Nnnhh... T-Toni...

Antonio; 8knealt beside him n took his hand8

Ricardo: [whimper] W-Wat's...happening...to me...?

Antonio; You're in labour but Drix is on his way

Ricardo: [his mind cleared n the memory of him being with Nick came crashing dwn on him, n he pulled away frm Antonio] No...D-Don't touch me...I'm dirty...This baby... No...I dont want it...It's not urs... I don't... [started sobbing]

Antonio; Ricky no, this nino is mine

Ricardo: [shook his head, unable to believe it] No...It can't be...Nick, he... [sobbed hard] Dont touch me...

Drix: [rang the doorbell]

Antonio; 8quickly let him in8

Drix: [quickly comes in] How is he doing right now?

Antonio; Not good, he thinks the baby belongs to that bastard

Drix: Well, we'll just hv to go thru with the birth n convince him otherwise [comes in] Hey, Ricky. Take it easy there

Ricardo: Pls...Pls take it out...Its not Toni's...I dont want it...

Drix: Now, now, dont be brash. Ur too far gone to do any surgery. U'll hv to go thru with the birth, then u'll find out for sure

Antonio; 8ushured the kids out8

Ricardo: [whimpered] I...I don't want...Toni with me...

Drix: R u sure?

Ricardo: [nodded, sobbing]

Antonio; 8looked at him8

Drix: [whispered] Its best if u stay out for now. Dont wanna agitate him n complicate the birth

Antonio; 8nods n left with the kids8

Drix: Alright, Ricky. U knw the drill, push wen u feel the contraction

Ricardo: [pants n pushed whenever he felt it]

Antonio; 8paced back n forth outside the room8

Drix: Ur doing reli good, Ricky, just keep it coming

Ricardo: [tried his best, bt aftr 30 mins of labour, he wasnt progressing vry well. His emotions got the better of him n he couldnt push as hard as he should, n somehow whimpered] T-Toni...

Antonio; 8placed his ear by the door8

Drix: U want Antonio in? U want him to be with u?

Ricardo: [nodded before he could stop himself]

Drix: [called out] Toni?

Antonio; 8came in n took his mate's hand8

Ricardo: [sobbed in Antonio's arms] It...It hurts... I...I can't do it...

Antonio; You can love

Ricardo: [whimpered, shook his head, burying his face in Antonio's chest]

Antonio; 8held him8

Drix: U'll be alright, Ricky, u can do it

Ricardo: [pants hard, cringed at a contraction]

Drix: Come on, Ricky. Ur baby needs to come out, pls, u can do this

Antonio; Please mi amor

Ricardo: [whines n pants, waited for another contraction n pushed dwn as hard as he could]

Antonio; 8held his hand8

Drix: That's it, that's very good. It's crowning. Ur doing great

Ricardo: [moaned in pain as he kept pushing with the contractions]

Antonio; 8whispered soft words8

Ricardo: [whimpered as he felt himself stretch ard the baby's head]

Drix: [help to ease it out] There we go, just a couple more pushes, Ricky

Ricardo: [whimpered, shaking his head]

Antonio; You can do it

Drix: Easy does it. U can do it. Just a couple more pushes

Ricardo: [screamed out weakly as he pushed dwn that few times]

Drix: Gotcha! Its a boy!

Antonio; 8looked at the child8

[it was a boy, a hybrid tht had Antonio's colour bt Ricardo's eyes, a clear cut evidence of him being their child]

Drix: Chk it out, Ricky. Its urs n Toni's. Nothing to worry abt

Ricardo: [didnt want to look at it, fearing tht they were lying]

Antonio; Ricky looks at him

Ricardo: [shook his head]

Drix: Just take a peek. Pls

Ricardo: [turned to see, then gasped quietly] Oh... Oh, mi bambini...

Antonio; Told you, he's our's

Ricardo: [takes the baby frm Drix} B-Bt...Bt how? I...I was with Nick and...

Antonio; 8looked at Drix8

Drix: Well, according to my diagnostics in my kit, u were right with the calculations, Antonio. Judging by today's slightly ovrdue due date, plus and minus, I counted backwards, n it was definitely the time wen u had intercourse before Ricky was abducted tht hit the jackpot. So don't worry, Ricky. U were already pregnant before Nick had his way wtih u.

Ricardo: Oh thank Hector... [sobs as he cuddled the baby close, sobbing tears of relief]

Antonio; 8kissed his forehead8

Drix: [cleaned up Ricardo up] My work here is done. Congratulations u guys [leaves the room, sighing] Phew, wat a day [went bk to work]

Ricardo: [handed the baby to Antonio to be bathed]

Antonio; 8gently bathed their son8

[the kids peeked in the room]

Carlos: Mami...?

Milagro: Mami...?

Ricardo: Hey, my bambini-s. C'mere [reaches for them]

Antonio; 8smiled as he dressed the little one8

[the kids soon came in n hugged Ricardo, happy n relieved tht he was finally bk]

Antonio; 8sat next to them8

Ricardo: [takes the baby frm Antonio to nurse him] Meet ur new brother

Carlos: Aww~ He's so cute!

Milagro: Ur not gonna go to sleep for a long long time again, r u, Mami?

Ricardo: [smiled n shook his head] I dont think I will. Normal sleep frm now on

Antonio; 8sighed in relief8

Carlos: Wats his name?

Antonio; We haven't thought of one yet

Milagro: Any ideas?

Antonio; What about Asher? it means 'blessed'

Ricardo: Asher... [thought abt it] Yes, n Noche for a middle name, it means 'night'

Carlos: Its wonderful! Ash for short!

Juanita; 8nodded8

Milagro: Hi, Ash~ We're ur older siblings

Carlos: Welcome to the world!

Juanita; 8nuzzles his nose8

Ricardo: [smiled, then sighed, a little tired out frm the birth]

Antonio; 8took Ash8

Carlos: [noticed n ushered his siblings to let their mother rest]

8the kids let their mother be8

Ricardo: [finished nursing Ash n set him in the bassinet, then somehow tears start to fall frm his eyes again]

Antonio; Ricky?

Ricardo: [sobs] I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

Antonio; 8held him close8

Ricardo: [sobs hard] I...end up being dirty again... N its even worse... It's not some cult anymore... It's by him... That... That monster... N I feel so dirty... I shouldn't even be with u...

Antonio; Ricardo enough

Ricardo: [bit his lip, sniffling] But...

Antonio; No matter what happens I will never think ill of you

Ricardo: R-Reli...? U...U won't leave me bcoz of this...? I've been sullied by so many ppl...

Antonio; It doesn't matter to me

Ricardo: [cried harder n fell in Antonio's arms, sobbing n wailing]

Antonio; 8held him close8

Ricardo: [cried n cried until he pass out frm fatigue]

Antonio; 8tucks him in to bed8

Hecro: [took his other hand]

Drix: U sure ur OK, Hecro?

Hecro: I'm fine, pls, just concentrate on Hecra right now [turned to Hecra] We're right here for u, bro. U can do it

Hecra: [nodded n pushed at each contraction]

Maximus; 8helped him8

Drix: [checked him] Ur good to go, Hecro, just push wen ur ready

Maximus; 8took his hand8

Hecro: [takes deep breaths before a contraction comes in n pushed]

Maximus; 8lifted them up to get a better look8

Shane: [squealed happily] They both look like Mamu n Mimi~

Alakay: [squealed as well, moving his head a little to let Hunter see them]

Maximus; 8smiled8

Drix: [helped to clean Hecro n Hecra up, n chked the babies' health n keyed in their information into his kit] I think my work is done here.

Maximus; It maybe hard kids

Shane: I've carried Alakay n Hunter as babies before. I can do it

Alakay; Me too, me too!

Maximus; Be gently now

Shane&Alakay: [nodded n held their hands up]

Maximus; 8gently lay the kids down8

Shane: [cradled Hecro's baby close] She's so cute~

Alakay: [cradled Hecra's baby too, copying his sister] Look, Hunter, ur a big brother now

Hunter; 8smiled8

Shane: Wat's their names, Babu?

Maximus; We haven't discussed them yet

Shane: OK

Alakay: Where should we put them, Babu?

Maximus; In the moses baskets

Shane&Alakay: [nodded n walked carefully, bringing the babies to the baskets]

Hecro: Nnhh, there, there [takes his baby n started nursing her]

Maximus; Need anything/

Hecro: [shook his head] We're good

Hecra: Except maybe some names for our little ones [giggled]

Maximus; Thought of any/

Hecro: Not reli, kinda just woke up n all, n we didnt knw wat gender we were gonna get

Hecra: [chuckles] True tht. U hv any ideas, hun?

Maximus; 8rubbed his chin n looked the girls over8

[both babies were like a carbon copy of Hecro n Hecra respectively]

Maximus; What about Aria n Adagio/

Hecro: R those female names or gender neutral names?

Hecra: Aria sounds like a female name bt Adagio?

Maximus; Both are female

Hecro: Which is Aria n which is Adagio then?

Maximus; You chose my loves8

Hecra: I like Aria. I'll take tht. N I'll give Greene as her middle name, coz she has my shade of colour

Hecro: Adagio, sounds unique. I like it. Well, I'm going to give Shade as her middle name. No reason, it just seems to fit

Hecro: [leans in to kiss Maximus on the cheek]

Hecra: [leans in to kiss the other cheek]

Maximus; 8nuzzled them8

Hecro: Thanks for being there for us

Hecra: We couldn't do it without u

Maximus; Anything for you 8smiled8

Hecro: Hv u told anyone yet abt the babies?

Maximus; 8shook his head8

Hecro: Go let them knw, its OK

Hecra: We'll be fine

Maximus; Alright 8went to make the calls8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-3

Thrax; Ya may want to avoid Sakura for a while, she'll be a dragon

Ozzy: [chuckled] /With her period on? Definitely. Bt I can't avoid her entirely. I'm her mother. I need to help her out with whatevr she needs, especially right now with her joints aching n unable to move tht much/

Thrax; You forget she has my personality

Ozzy: /True, bt I handled it well with u, didnt I? Besides, she's gonna need my help with the lavender lotion/

Thrax; Careful baby

Ozzy: [smiled] /I'll be fine/ [tossed him a bottle] /U work with the boys, I'll deal with the girls/

Thrax; 8went to their room8

Kiaran: [groaned as he hugged the hot water bottle close]

Ozzex: [moaned] Wen will the hurting stop~?

Thrax; It'll take a while

Kiaran: [groaned] Is evryone else OK?

Thrax; 8helped them8

Ozzex: [groaned as he was helped up n put on the lavender lotion] Nnnhh... I heard Ozma is the only one who didnt get the sudden growth spurt

Kiaran: Nnnhh... Lucky her, altho she has gotten a bit bigger

Thrax; She's the youngest boys but in a couple of years

Kiaran: She's gonna be in a lot of pain

Ozzex: No doubt abt tht. Uuggghh... I feel like as if I had been stretched by a torture device or something...

Thrax; 8helped them out8

Ozzex: [settled dwn in bed once the lotion was applied]

Kiaran: [settled in as well] I think Rory has a fever, Papa

Thrax; 8felt his forehead8

Rory: [was burning a little, probably frm the slight inflammation frm the growth spurt]

Thrax; 8damped his forehead8

Kiaran: [tries to pass him the meds Drix gave him, tho his joints still ached pretty bad]

Thrax; Thanks Kai 8takes them8

Rory: [groaned a little, almost sobbing]

Thrax; 8gave him the meds8

Rory: [ate it bt made a face as he swallowed]

Thrax; 8stroked his dreads7

Ozzy: [in the meantime was with the girls, slowly working on Sakura to help her apply the lotion n massage her joints]

Sakura; 8groaned slightly8

Ozzy: /Nice n easy, sweetheart, just relax/

Twins: R we gonna be OK, Mama?

Ozzy: /U will, dont worry. Its part of the process. U just need to ride it out. Hope, u look a little worse than most. R u hving a fever?/

Hope; 8moaned8

Ozzy: [poured the meds that Drix gave n fed her] Bottoms up, sweetie. It'll help with the fever

Hope; 8gulped them down8

Ozzy: /There's a good girl/ [stroke her dreads, then moved on to massage her]

Olivia: Can't believe I hv to go thru puberty again~

Othello: Ugh... Wat's the point of shrinking bk in size wen its gonna end up like this

Ozzy: /Oh now hush. U'll be fine/

Sakura; 8buried her head under her pillow8

Ozzy: [moved on to massage the rest of the girls, before refilling their hot water bottle n giving it to them] /Now u girls rest, OK? I'll come bk in 4 hrs to help change ur sanitary pads/ [kissed their foreheads n left to chk on Ozma]

Thrax; 8walked out of the boys room8

Ozzy: [sees him coming out] /Hey babe. How r the boys?/

Thrax; Asleep

Ozzy: /Same here. I'm going to chk on Ozma now/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: [enters the nursery to chk on her, who seemed to be peacefully playing at the mobile]

Thrax; 8stood by the door8

Ozma: [looked up n smiled, reaching for her mother] Num num~

Ozzy: [smiled n picked her up] /R u hungry, sweetie? Alright, Mommy's gonna give u ur num num. Wow, ur heavy. N ur clothes r getting tight. Guess u grew a little too [sat dwn n lifted his shirt to feed her]

Thrax; She'll may go through the same as the others in a few years

Ozzy: /I suppose so, bt it won't be till then, thankfully/ [smiled as Ozma nursed on him]

Thrax; 8kissed his cheek8

Ozzy: [giggled n kissed him bk on the lips]

Thrax; 8purred8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-2

Thrax; 8was waiting by the door8

Drix: [came to their plc n called out] I'm here

Thrax; 8let him in8

Drix: [enters] Wat seems to be the problem?

Thrax; It's our kids

Drix: Hmm? OK, show me

Thrax; 8led him to the rooms8

Drix: [sees the kids] Oh my, wat happened?

Ozzy: 8signed8 Growth spurt happened, tht's wat. We just wanna knw how did tht happen?

Drix: Hv they been showing signs of growth spurts in the past?

Thrax; They did a couple of months ago

Drix: Alright [looked abt] Is it all of them? Where's Sakura?

Thrax; 8motioned to the bathroom8

Drix: [looked at tht direction] Oh

Ozzy: [knocked again] /Sweetie, come on out. Uncle Drix is here n he needs to examine all the kids, tht includes u/

Sakura; 8opened the door n shakily stepped out8

Ozzy: [noticed her in her ripped up nightgown due to the growth n he could tell she was still in pain frm it frm the way she shook, he quickly wrapped a towel ard her] /Its gonna be OK, sweetie. Uncle Drix will chk on u n help u all out, OK? Come/ [led her to the room to join her sibs]

Thrax; 8noticed a bit of blood on the helm8

Ozzy: [noticed it too n turned to Thrax, wondering if they're thinking the same thing]

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Drix: [gathered all the kids n examined them one by one]

Ozzy: [waited with anticipation]

Thrax; 8massaged his hands8

[aftr 30 mins of thorough examination, Drix was done]

Drix: U might wanna get them changed into decent clothes first n tuck them in bed, n maybe hv ur girls cleaned n fitted with sanitary pads. I'll tell u my results later once u've settled them

Ozzy: [nodded n got to work]

Thrax; 8helped the boys8

Ozzy: [helped the girls]

Drix: [left the room to give them some privacy]

8both came out after several minutes8

Drix: [looked up] R they all tucked in?

Ozzy: [nodded n signed] Gave them hot water bottles to hold onto to ease the pain. So how did this growth spurt happen?

Thrax; 8sat down8

Drix: It's their mental state. Their minds r far more mature than they give themselves credit for n their body seemed to hv grown accordingly to match with their mental age. Its almost like how virus kids get growth spurt during the peak of their puberty, bt since they're hybrids, thus this situation. Olivia n Othello seemed to handle it pretty well

Ozzy: [signed] They hv been adults before, or rather engineered into adults to be exact. Puberty is prolly not an issue for them

Thrax; 8nods9

Drix: For now, all they can do is ride it out until their body has adjusted to the growth [takes out some meds frm his diagnostic kit] Here's some mild painkillers for their joints in the meantime, n some antibiotics in case there is any inflammation. N here's some lavender lotion. It'll soothe them if u massage them with it

Thrax; 8took them8

Ozzy: [signed] Thanks, Drix. U've been a great help

Drix: Dont mention it. We're pals for so long now. Take care [left the plc to get to work]

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 1-1

[3 mths hv passed since the incident at the mansion, n evrything has settled themselves in the usual routine, n evryone lived their lives as per normal]

Ozzy: [was dozing in the couch in the office aftr a long night stake-out. His PI firm was no longer affiliated to Eduardo's precinct, bt he had enough cases to last them for now without the precincts involvement]

Thrax; 8was sorting through their cases n bills8

Kiaran: [called frm his room, sounded like a pained expression] Mama... Papa...

Thrax; Huh?  8went to Kai's room8 Kai?

[Kiaran n Ozzex were in bed, bt they did not look like themselves; they looked more like they've aged up a couple of yrs since the last growth spurt, looking like they were starting to become preteen physically, n their clothes were shredded frm their growth]

Kiaran: Papa... Our joints...!

Ozzex: It hurts...!!

[more moans n groans followed frm other kids' rooms]

Thrax; 8went to get ozzy, shaking him awake8

Ozzy: [woke up with a start] /Wh-Wha...? Wat is it?/

Thrax; It's the kids

Ozzy: /Wat's wrong wtih them?/ [followed Thrax]

Thrax; 8led him to the room as Sakura dashed pass them n locked the bathroom8

Ozzy: [surprised n turned to the bathroom, knocking it] /Sweetie? R u OK?/

Sakura; Not really

Ozzy: [took a peek at Kiaran n Ozzex in their room n understood the situation] /Talk to me, sweetie. I knw wats going on. U can tell me/

Sakura; It's too soon, too early

Ozzy: /I knw, ur hving a growth spurt. Its OK. We'll call Uncle Drix n we'll figure this out, OK? Don't be scared. Come on out/

Sakura; 8refused to open the door8

Ozzy: /Sweetie, dont make me kick the door dwn/

Thrax; Leave her Ozzy

Ozzy: [sighed n went to chk on the other kids, who hv all gotten their growth spurts, bt were still new to the joints that it hurts to move] /U better give Drix a call/

Thrax; 8called him up8

Drix: [was getting ready for work wen the call came] Hello?

Thrax; Drix we need ya over here

Drix: Alright, I'll be there ASAP [hangs up] Darling, I'll be heading off to Thrax's plc before I go to work. The money for the nanny's right there on the kitchen table

Leah; Okay mein love

Drix: [kissed her n left]

TOYLB: The Hauntening (Special Season) - Episode 20

[everyone soon settled in their own room for the night]

Ozzy: [was on the bed looking at the pendant halfway thru his changing]

Thrax; Something wrong baby/

Ozzy: Naw, I'm just pretty amazed at our pendants. At first I thought it would only take us to The Plains to visit our loved ones, bt they've done so much more during our escapades here. Nvr ceases to amaze me

Thrax; 8blushes8

Ozzy: Lets hope Paul n Mordred's life here in this mansion would be great here on out [cuddled with Thrax]

Thrax; 8nuzzles him8

Ozzy: I love u, Thrax. Forevr n a day

Thrax; And I will love you, until the end of time

Ozzy: [nuzzled noses with him, giving him an Eskimo kiss]

Thrax; 8purred8

Paul: [was in the newly decorated nursery room, chking on the girls who were out like a light side by side in their crib, then inspecting the new crib that was prepared for the upcoming new addition]

8it was a restored 19th century crib with craved headboard n base with a star n moon mobile8

Paul: [smiled as he ran his fingers thru the wood n design, n touched the mobile]

Pendragon; 8came up behind him8

Paul: [looked up n smiled] Hey you

Pendragon; Hey 8kissed him8

Paul: Why arent u in bed?

Pendragon; Can't a father say goodnight to his children

Paul: [chuckled] Of course he can, bt I'd assume u already done tht [kissed him]

Pendragon; 8stroked his stomach8

Paul: [smiled] Here's to hoping tht this child will be a boy [giggled]

Pendragon; We'll see

Paul: I love this new crib [gestured at it] Where did u find it?

Pendragon; This room was the family nursery

Paul: Oh, I didnt knw tht. I thought u found it somewhere in a sale or somewhere in this mansion's attic or something

Pendragon; A lot of the attic treasures have been restored but this was already here 8motioning to the crib8

Paul: [smiled] Its beautiful. Perfect for our new baby

Pendragon; 8smiled8

Paul: [adjusted the dimness of the nightlight before he took Pendragon's hand n left the room]

Pendragon; 8nuzzled him8

TOYLB: The Hauntening (Special Season) - Episode 19

8a week later aftr the incident, aftr clearing it up with the authorities  abt their missing case n tied up all loose ends, the whole family chipped in to help out with Paul n Pendragon's move to their new home at the mansion8

8some helped sort the cemetery on the grounds8

Paul: 8found a room tht was perfect for display n hung all the framed sketches on the walls8

Julius; 8placed fresh flowers on the graves, those belonging to the dark spirits had disappeared when they were dragged to the Void n those of the pure ones were restored to new as if time never passed8

Morty: 8helped to clear out any remaining weeds ard the gravestones n dusted them8

Leah; 8was checking the electronics8

Dieter: [arranged the smaller furniture with Vincent]

Alexis; 8was dusting round the rooms8

Ozzy: 8helped with the clothes n trinkets8

Thrax; 8sorted small alters for the portraits8

8towards sundwn, evrything was all done8

Paul: Its gorgeous. Thanks, guys, for the help

8the others smiled8

Paul: I've been cooking quite a bit with Auntie Lavinia and Lavatnia n Auntie Leah. Anyone hungry?

Orion; Ravines

Paul: Come 8led them to the dining hall n there was an amazing spread8

Alexis; Woah

Paul: Settle dwn n dig in, evryone

8everyone soon took their seats8

8everyone started wolfing dwn the food, obviously parched n starved8

Paul: 8ate more of his usual diet, now tht his baby bump was more prominent8

Alexis; 8fed the twins before wolfing his8

8the nannies fed the younger kids8

Thrax; 8stood up with his glass8 A toast to the free n restored Gracey Manor

Paul: Here, here! [raised his glass as well]

[everyone stood up with their glasses raised]

Pendragon; 8smiled8

[evryone clinked glasses n sipped, drinking to the restoration of the manor]

8a soft wind blew through the room n a vase of many roses appeared on the table8

Paul: [smiled] Looks like they share the same sentiments

Pendragon; 8held him close8

[evryone continued to enjoy their dinner, n aftr cleaning up n putting some final touches on the move, evrything was as perfect as can be]

Paul: Guys, ur welcomed to stay the night, hv a feel of the house

Alexis; You sure/

Paul: Yeah. N its quite late anyways, n not to mention it'll be a bit of a drive. N besides, its not like we dont hv enough room to spare

Morty: Well, I've always been curious at how it feels to spend a night in an ancient mansion

Orion; But what of the youngest kids

Paul: U can hv them sleep with u or the nannies. Its up to ur arrangements reli, I won't force u

Orion; 8nods8

Morty: Then I'll say thanks for the hospitality

Paul: Ur welcome, Uncle Morty

Pendragon; 8smiled8

TOYLB: The Hauntening (Special Season) - Episode 18

Thrax; Home sweet home

8all the Jones-Roja kids n Paul n Pendragon's girls along with Bertha were waiting at the condo lobby8

Kiaran: Mama!! Papa!! 8ran to Thrax n glomped him8

Thrax; Hey Kai 8stroked his dreads8

8all the other kids ran to their parents as well8

Paul: 8came to Bertha n took one of the girls8 Oh hey sweetie. Mommy misses u so much

Pendragon; 8took the other twin8

8the girls hugged them tight8

Paul: Oohh, so sorry for being gone so long. Mommy loves u vry, vry much 8turns to Bertha8 Thanks for looking aftr them so well while we were gone

Bertha; Anytime though where were you/

Paul: Its a long story. Its better if we go home n tell u abt it

8everyone headed inside8

8all family members were gathered in Thrax's home n were relieved n happy to see their missing family members returning home, hugging them happily8

Pendragon; 8set the box on the table8

8evryone was looking forward to hear their fantastical story, thus Paul, Pendragon, Ozzy n Thrax told evrything in turn8

8they all remained quiet as the story was told8

Paul: ....And tht's the gist of it. N this... 8tapped on the box8 ...seems to be our reward

Pendragon; 8sorted it all out8

Alexis; Intense 8had his twins on his lap8

Ozzy: 8typed8 Bt at least we cleaned up the plc n cleared the mansion

Antonio; I think this Horace may still come by to visit his wife

Paul: He's welcomed to. Its his right aftr all. N just to let u all knw, as u can see, due the new addition here 8showed them his baby bump8 We will be moving into the mansion soon. Ur all welcomed to visit us anytime once we've settled in

Orion; Need any help sorting anything/

Paul: Well we do need the manpower to help move our stuff. Sounds petty, bt we rather hv family rather than spend money hiring movers

8the group nod8

Ozzy: 8typed8 Its definitely good to be bk, tho technically we nvr reli left 8chuckled8

Thrax; 8smirked8

Paul: Oh, btw, Uncle Alex. Pops said he told u abt our offer to let Aggie work as ur nanny. Hv u decided to accept the offer?

Alexis; 8whistles to get someone's attention8

8out came an elderly she-cell, a nerve cell, dressed modestly n had a small hunch, bt overall a woman well into her 60's, with Polly n Samson clinging to her skirt8

Paul: 8smiled happily8 Aggie! So good to see u! Wen did u start?

Aggie: Abt a mth ago. Thank u for getting my this job. My little Byron and I owe u big time

Pendragon; Anytime, sorry for the disappearance

Aggie: It's alright, Master Alex n I hv sorted everything out. With the pay, I can now afford to keep Byron in special care so tht he can get the best care n education they can offer

Alexis; 8smiled8 But please Aggie, just Alexis none of this master stuff

Aggie: Sorry 8chuckles8 I come frm an old family with a long line of being servants to upper class ppl. It's an old habit of mine

Alexis; Understandable

Paul: I'm curious tho, Uncle Alex. U hv been Mira's manager wen he was alive, bt...now tht he's gone, how r u getting paid n how r u affording Aggie?

Alexis; Any job I can take really n I've saved up much money that can do us for the time being

Takashi: Tht and also the mthly pension wages tht Mirakuru-chan deserves goes to his account. Its hefty enough.

Dieter: Maybe jou should consider vorking bk at Frank's Diner. Jou used to vork zere before jou met Mira, remember?

Alexis; If there's a position open maybe

Morty: I'm sure u can squeeze Alexis in, can u, Leah?

Leah; Ja

Morty: Then tht settles it. Alexis is bk in the Frank's Diner family

Alexis; 8smile8

Gigi; 8saw a set of bangles in the box n reached for them8

Paul: 8noticed8 U want it, sweetie? 8takes the bangles out n gave it to her8

Pendragon; Are you sure? Those were a gift

Paul: I knw, bt she looks like she wants it, n aftr all its mine to give

Gigi; 8giggles as she takes the rings n puts them on8

Paul: Aww~ They look good on u, sweetie. Hope ur OK with tht, Uncle Alex

Alexis; It's fine 8notices Gigi taking his bandana n wrapped it round her head8

Paul: 8blinked as he saw it looked familiar, nudging quietly at Pendragon8

Pendragon; 8noticed then looked at his mate8

Paul: 8whispered8 R u thinking wat I'm thinking?

Pendragon; 8quietly8 Don't jump to conclusions

Paul: 8nodded n let the issue slide8

Morty: Well, at least we're all bk together again, hopefully things will calm dwn a little n be bk to normal, sort of

Dieter: Vith our tendency to run into misadventures, I vouldn't count ze chickens juz yet

Antonio; Well said

Ozzy: 8typed8 Let's not jinx it 8chuckled8

Thrax; 8nods, was looking over some of the sketches8

Paul: Watcha looking at, Pops?

Thrax; Just some the sketches, they seem to be small portraits

Paul: Wat r they of?

Thrax; 8showed him, they showed those they had helped like Madame Leota n her family, the O'Neil sisters, Rick-Titan, Melaine n Victor who were now standing with Victor's parents and Melaine's mother, George n Emily and some many others there was even one of Horace with his beloved Ellie8

Paul: 8smiled at the sight of tht8 These definitely need to be framed n kept in a special room. Maybe we can hv a display room to dedicate to those of the family who lived in the mansion, dont we, Mordred?

Pendragon; I think there's some painted portraits some where in the house8

Paul: We could move tht to the room, prolly evn make a bit of money as a tourist attraction 8giggled8

Pendragon; We'll see

TOYLB: The Hauntening (Special Season) - Episode 17

8the whole house lit up for a moment, n wen the group opened their eyes again, they find themselves in the living room, the mansion just as normal as anything8

Paul: Wow... Finally we're bk in the real world 8looked ard n out8 It looked just like the last time we came here to tell the Pendragons abt my first pregnancy. Everything looked just like it was. It felt bigger n spacious n more rooms just now

Ozzy: /We were in the spirit realm. The dimension is bound to feel bigger n wider than anything else/
Pendragon; 8flopped on the sofa8

Paul: At least its all ovr with. Tht means this mansion is finally safe to live in

Ozzy: /I think our pendants can affirm to tht/

Thrax; 8nods8

8Thrax's cell phone rang8

Thrax; 8looked at it8

8it was Takashi's caller ID8

Thrax; 8answered8 Moshi moshi Takashi

Takashi: Thrax ottoto-chan!! Where hv u been?!

Thrax; Sorting things at Gracey Manor

Takashi: Sorti... Thrax ottoto-chan, how did u evn get to tht home? U weren't there wen we went there to find u! U were gone for 2 mths!!

Thrax; WHAT?!

Ozzy: 8was surprised at Thrax's exclamation n gestured Thrax to put it on speaker8

Takashi: Honto desu ne! U, Oz to-chan, Paul-chan n Mordred-san hv been missing for 2 mths! We evn call keisatsu (police) n evrything desu ne! Where exactly hv u guys been??

Paul: 2 mths?! Bt we've only be gone for like at least a day and a half... 8thts wen he realized he was sporting a baby bump already, instead of hving a still flat middle a moment ago8 What the...?

Pendragon; 8explained to Takashi what happened8 Looks like time passes slower in the spirit realm

Paul: Y-Yeah, n my body seems to catch up with the present time the moment we returned to this realm 8stroke his belly8

Takashi: Sa, I'll tell the keisastu ur bk n call off the search, n we'll come pick u up. Dont go anywhere, desho?

Thrax; We need a break anyway

Takashi: Hai, ja ne 8hangs up8

Paul: 8sat dwn n stroke his middle8 Wow, its almost like a growth spurt 8giggled, then winced8 Oh, it kicked

Pendragon; 8stroked his stomach8

Ozzy: /Tht reli is something/ 8stroke Paul's belly8 /Hey sweetie, I'm ur grandma 8smiled at the gentle kick8 /Heh, he knws I'm here/

Thrax; Or she baby 8leaned back8 I guess depending on the realm or dimension time either passes slowly or quickly

Ozzy: 8typed for the benefit of Pendragon to knw his thoughts8 I still can't believe we were actually gone for 2 mths. Crap, the kids must be worried sick abt us

Thrax; Most of them

Ozzy: 8chuckled n typed8 Yeah, true tht

Paul: Hey, Pops. Did u manage to ask Uncle Alex abt Aggie working as his full-time nanny?

Thrax; Not sure if they sorted it all out

Ozzy: 8typed8 I'm sure he managed


*10mins later, a car was heard pulling ovr the driveway8

Thrax; 8looked out8

8Takashi n Orion came out of the family van8

Paul: Who is it, Pops?

Thrax; It's Taka n Orion

Paul: Wow they got here quick 8went out to open the door8 Uncle Taka! Uncle Orion!

Takashi: Paul-chan! 8rushes towards him n hugged him tight8 Oh thank kami-sama ur OK. Daijobu? Anata wa kodomo wa daijobu? (is ur baby OK?)

Paul: I'm fine. Reli 8chuckles8

8the others came out8

Takashi: Thrax ottoto-chan! Oz to-chan! 8rushes ovr to hug them as well8

Orion; Taka told me what happened, next time tell us about ya missions n assignments

Paul: Sorry. We thought it was gonna be one of those things tht we can settle straightaway. Guess we underestimated the situation

Takashi: Sa, kaeru desho (lets go home) U need to show evryone ur OK. N ur kodomo-chan are all worried sick abt u guys

Pendragon; Let me locked up first 8went to lock the door but found a package by the door8

Paul: 8sees the package as well8 Wat's tht?

Pendragon; 8open it, there were several notes n pictures from those they helped n the deed to the manor8

Paul: 8smiled8 Looks like we've got some presents frm the beyond

Pendragon; 8smiled8

Paul: Tht definitely deserves either framing or scrapbooking. Lets leave it in the mansion n get bk to it later. Our girls need us

Pendragon; I'd rather keep it with us for the time being 8headed to the van8

Paul: Fair enough

Ozzy: 8typed8 Wait, I thought we parked our cars right here, both ours n Pendragon's

Takashi: We came here first thing wen we realized u were missing. We found ur cars n went in the mansion bt there was no one inside there, so the keisatsu took them for evidence

Ozzy: 8typed8 Pls dont tell me its Eduardo u guys called

Thrax; If you have I swear to Tardarus you're dead

Takashi: Yada, not aftr tht stunt he pulled on u two. No, we called a different precinct. A reliable detective named Devin. Devin O'Melanoma

Ozzy: 8turned to Thrax with an expectant look, hoping tht maybe they could give this precinct a shot now tht they're no longer under Eduardo's tab8

Thrax; We'll see

8the group soon drove home to the condo8
