Gen 1 Chap 7 – Oh The Sweet Pitter Patter of Feet Pt 2

Danny has more of his mom than me in him and I’m kinda sad about that. He’s still my little man though. At the “party” he kept laughing at Alistair when he was getting bitten by the puppies. Oh and now, he always cries. He never wants anything, he just cries. It’s driving me insane. I always ask if he wants anything; is it his bottle, does he want to be changed, to be burped, what? Nothing ever works. I finally gave up and Raven started taking over. Whenever she’s in the room he quiets down and lets me do what I need to do. I think its because she secretly gives him candy but I digress. What matters is that we love him to death.

“Ugggggh I’m so bored!” I sigh loudly hoping Raven would pay more attention to me.

“Bond with Danny, he misses you.”

“The only thing he misses is the candy you keep giving him.”

She giggled. “I don’t give him candy all the time. Just when he’s being unreasonable.”

“Uh huh, I bet you slip him some when I’m not looking. That’s why he never cries when you’re around.” I say.

“Look, Kodak, I have to send in this file for work so stop bugging me for like, 2 seconds. Play with Anubis or Zekra, Demi, Jojo, Tetra, and Wen.”

The one thing I hated most about her job was that they always contact her to fill out some fashion form. Or to send in a design for next year’s seasons. I guess its alright with the money she’s making but that means less time for me with her.

“Anubis is busy with his own thing with Zekra… Wen and Tetra always want to tackle the shit out of me, Demi is like an emo or something… he always stares out into space. I think  we need dog counseling for him and Jojo… Eh I guess I could play with him.” I say.

“See? You have something to do. Take Danny too, he’s probably bored with that doll Uncle Ally got him.”

“Heh yeah, that thing is like a demon Rollie Pollie Ollie. By the way Raven… marry me.”

“Don’t joke like that Kodak.” she says.

“I’m serious.” I say and she turns around to look at me.

“How serious?”

“Super cereal surreal serious.” I grin and she smiles back. I was deeply in love with her down to earth-ness and her beauty and I wanted to make Raven officially mine, and no one else’s.

“You know this isn’t the ideal way to propose or plan a wedding.”

“Did you want a big hoorah with your whole family here?” I ask.

“Hell no… but what about you? You never talk about your parents or family.”

“That’s because I don’t like them. Also my father wants me to become a doctor so there’s no way we’re going to get along.”

“I see.” she says and gets up. I meet her halfway and grab her by the waist.

“The hell are you–”

“I love you Raven. I never want to leave you.”

“You’re so lucky I love you too. Or else I would punched you in your face right now.” she says. I laugh and kiss her. Soon she would become an Xavier.

“Alistair. I’m nervous.” I say with a worried smile on my face.

“It’s just me and… yeah. Just me. You have nothing to be nervous about. All you do is say ‘I do.’ and what not.”

“Yeah but what if she gets cold feet?”

“I think you’re more prone to that. Come on let’s go.” He says eyeing the street.

“What are you looking for…?”

“Nothing, just nothing.” he says and starts walking to the backyard. I followed wondering what he could be hiding.

“You think Snazzy Jacket saw us?”

“Stop calling him that Mataya, and no pretty sure he didn’t.”

“Then our plan is going according to… plan.”

“Sigh…”

From the corner of my eye I saw a red head and a blue head. Two blue heads, and there’s only one person I know who has blue hair.

“Yo, Kods! Guess who’s back?”

“Thomas?? And heyyyyy crazy chick…” I say. I never expected Thomas to come all the way from Bridgeport to here. And with his family too.

“Hi Thomas, Mataya, ….child.” Raven says.

“Her name is Annalise. Justin is at home with the baby sitter.” Mataya says.

“Child… But anyway, Kodak, let’s get started.”

“GO KODS!!!” Thomas and Alistair yell at the same time. That put a big smile on my face.

“You really ready for this?” Raven asks. I nod and not just because she looked more beautiful than usual. I was ecstatic to be marrying her.

“With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.”

“I do.” Raven says softly.

Everyone cheered when we kissed. I didn’t want to let her go but we heard a grunt and pulled away slowly.

“We should be cutting the cake now,” Raven says. “I’ll do the honors.”

“Alright so everyone knows the bride gets the first slice right?”

We all laughed.

We all watched her cut the cake, mouths drooling.

Then we all sat down.

“You didn’t tell me you were in town Thomas. You could’ve met Danny.” I say.

“Danny? You have a kid now? That’s awesome man. I can’t wait to see him.”

“Can I also see your little bundle of joy Kodak?” Mataya asks.

“That’s the first time you called me Kodak… are you ok?”

“Of course I am. Thomas told me to stop calling you Snazzy Jacket so I’m trying to be more, how do you say, normal? After all I want to set a good example for Anna and Justin.” she says.

“Either that or you’re trying to make my sane child crazy but sure, you can see him. As long as I get to see Justin.” I smile.

“Will do, hey maybe they can have a play date one day.” Thomas says.

“Jeezum crow, I feel so left out with you two having kids and what not.” Alistair says.

“Oh don’t worry Mr. Stewart, I’m sure you’ll find a nice lady one day.” Mataya says.

“Don’t call me Mister. Makes me feel old. I’m not so sure I will find a a women that can keep up with me.”

“Maybe Annalise will when she gets older.”

“Mataya stop trying to marry off our kids. Plus Alistair would be dead by the time Anna is even old enough to date.” Thomas says.

Conversation went on like that for a few hours with Raven bringing out Danny and Annalise following behind her ending it. Thomas got to play with Danny and Annalise got to tell us all about her life and how she’s going to be a big girl soon. We said our good byes and soon Raven put Danny to sleep. I filled up the dog bowls before I went upstairs and when I got there, I was greeted by a surprise.

“Is there a reason for this?” Knowing good and damn well there was.

“Oh Kodak, how oblivious you are. You should know that what I want right now is what you want too.”

“Very true.”

“Good, now get your sexy ass out of that suit.” she said.

She didn’t have to tell me twice. We made love until the break of dawn.
