Broken Pieces-Chp96

[While Hater, Peepers n Awesome went on their dad's party, all the moms gathered in Brad's room to hv their own slumber party-ish celebration, surrounded by pillow forts, cushions, baby toys n playpens for the kids n a few trolley full of snacks n drinks for the moms]

Brad: Sorry I can't leave the bed, doc said I hv to hv bedrest coz of my surgery [was nursing the twins]

Wander: You do need the rest from all that. (murmers to himself) I know I did, too.

Sylvia: Oh yeah, don't worry abt it. We totally understand. There's plenty of room here to celebrate amongst ourselves. We need the bonding time neways

Loathe: Ooh, did u grow out ur hair, Brad? It looks longer than the last time I saw it

Brad: [blushed] Master said he likes my hair long, so...

Wander: Hehe. ^^ (Happy that Brad and Peepers are doing a little better on their relationship)

Loathe: Ooohh, I SO wanna braid it, can I, can I, can I?

Brad: [blushed harder] Pls don't...

Grimm: U might as well let her. She grew up with no sisters, n I'm always her guinea pig by wearing wigs for her to braid. There's no stopping her ^^;;

Wander: :) ...Anyways, you just rest up, Bradley.

Arthur & Maria: (yawn)...

Brad: Actually I'm kinda peckish, but lemme put the twins to bed first [rocked the both of them to sleep]

Loathe: [took the opportunity to start braiding Brad's hair since his arms r too busy to stop her]

Sylvia: So Wander n I are curious, ur body anatomy is basically skeleton in nature, so how does ur pregnancy work?

Wander: Kinda personal, isn't it, Syl?

Grimm: No, no, its alright, we're all family here. But its for ur eyes only, n maybe Terry [undid his robes to show that there was some kind of glowing orb almost shaped like a balloon that was connected towards the pelvic area] See? Its mostly held together by magic, so once the baby is born, this pouch orb will dissolve on its own

Sylvia: Ooh, fascinating. Is urs the same too, Loathe?

Loathe: Yup, but a smaller orb than his

Wander: Wow...

Brad: Ooh, interesting

Loathe: There! All done! [revealed she had done a French braid on Brad's hair]

Sylvia: Ahh~ that is so adorable! I'm showing this to Peepers! [took a pic of him n sent it to space chat]

Brad: Seriously u guys >\\\\<

Wander: (giggle) Okay, okay, fellas.

Sylvia: So now that ur the baby maker of the two, does that make u the hubby or the wifey, Grimm?

Grimm: Haven't reli decided yet, but most likely our roles r kinda reversed, tho Terry did say he still prefers to be the wifey

Wander: It seems to be something he's more comfortable with.

Brad: So where is Master?

Wander: Busy joining the Father's party with Hater and Awesome. ^^;

Sylvia: Heh, knowing Awesome, he's gonna party like its outta style

Loathe: They're gonna need to, considering wat they're gonna do soon

Brad: Do wat?

Wander: There's a chance they'll start drinking and probably do dumb things. Sound familiar, Syl? -3-

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes] Oh shut up

Grimm: Ooh, I suppose it has something to do with how u n Awesome got married n hv kids?

Sylvia: In a nutshell, yes -////-

Loathe: Actually I meant more abt wat they're gonna do soon, prolly a suicide mission or something

Brad: W-Wat do u mean?

Wander: Hmm...

Loathe: I prolly shouldn't worry u, but... [told him everything that they discussed that morning in the living room] Yeah. That's the gist of it

Brad: He... He's gonna track dwn the sorcerer...? For me...?

Wander: ...Peepers cares that much...but so does Hater...(making small fists)

Brad: I can't... I can't let him risk his life for me! He has no idea who he's dealing with! That guy is as dangerous as it comes. He didn't evade the Universe Guards for a decade without making powerful connections!

Loathe: Exactly wat I said, but they don't want us to tag along, they're worried abt us n the kids

Sylvia: C'mon, they should knw by now we can hold our own

Wander:...And I'm done being considered the weakling...the type who isn't able to fight back...(still making fists)

Sylvia: I'm sure u can fight bk, tho u hv to deal with ur DNA allergies

Wander: Even if so...I've held back certain frustrations long enough...

Brad: N I'm not abt to let Master go out there dealing with something he doesn't understand. I chose to be a professional hero first n foremost, its time I act like a real one

Sylvia: [scratched her chin] I guess we hv no choice then

Grimm: Huh?

Wander: You mean...?

Sylvia: We will hv to go Operation Stealthy

Brad: Operation Stealthy? [raised a brow]

Wander: (raises an eyebrow)...(blinks) You mean we'll have to...?

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes] We're gonna either secretly tail them or stowaway

Grimm: Ooh, sneaky ~~

Wander: But if they catch us...?

Loathe: I might be able to help with that. We'd hv to consult Prof Mayhem for that one

Grimm: Oohh~ U mean THAT device?

Loathe: Yup

Wander: ??

Sylvia: We're at a loss here

Loathe: We'll show u first thing tomorrow morning. Prof Mayhem is on vacation leave right noe, he'll be bk tomorrow

Grimm: But for now, let's hv something to eat [reaches for the trolley of snacks]

Sylvia: Wonder how the guys' party went...

Wander: Hopefully not being too drunk...
