Here we go again

Lyra bit her lip,fighting a smile"would you like me to wash the bear for you?"

"yes! and Mickey too just because he hates being bathed"

 

"You're a vicoious little madam aren't you?" Casey said. You could tell by his expression he wasn't quite sure where the two kids got their traits from. As far as he knew neither he or Lyra was as disgusting as Mickey or as catty as Maddie.

 

"No....Im a good little girl....but he was mean....he got teddy aalll wet....now he has to get all wet."


"Hmm....I havent given him a flee bath in awhile...."she muttered

 

"Should get him a flea collar, might be easier."

 

"Both maybe..."she said "the boy gets clean and feels the need to go and get dirty again...."she sighed

 

"If he gets mucky again just bathe him again, he'll get fed up of having to sit in that bath eventually."

 

"Just wasting water and bubble bath though..."


Alex,who was still in bed,finally opend his eyes and sat up in bed,he yawned


-------------------------------


Two months later Lyra was decorating the twins room, since her baby bump was showing,small as it was,she'd told her family her and Casey's news,she laughed watching the twins splatter each other with paint

 

"Care you two." Casey chuckled as he looked down on the pair of them from the step ladder he was sat on. A paint roller in one hand and flecks of white all over his face from where he'd been painting the ceiling.

 

"He started it"Maddie chirpped

"Didnt...I just dont want to room pink and girly.."

 

"It's not going to be pink and girly." Casey sighed, leaning back to continue painting the ceiling.

 

"Good."he said

"Where's Cory?"

"watching Tv...as always."

 

"Do you even really need to ask?" Casey chuckled.

 

"Just curious"she laughed tucking her hair behind her ear

 

"Okay then." Casey said, continuing to roll the paint onto the ceiling.

 

she heaved a sigh "Who's hungry?"

"Oh! oh oh! me me me! I am! I am!"Mickey said hoping on the spot

 

"When are you ever not hungry?" Casey asked in an amused tone.

 

he stuck his tonge out

Lyra smiled and put the paint brush in the tub of paint "I'll go make sandwhiches."

 

Casey looked down and stuck his tongue out back at his son. "Good idea Ly."

 

"Dont you dare hit daddy with paint!"she added before leaving the room"Hey Cory"she smiled at her eldest,who didnt even turn from his cartoon,she rolled her eyes

 

"You heard what she said." Casey said smugly.
