Chapter 59: I should have stayed in bed

 

Embarrassment: When your bare ass is sticking out for everyone to see

 

Unlike the day before Thursday morning dawned fair and bright and it promised to be a very beautiful day. Shauna woke up before anyone and when she got into the living room she wasn't alarmed to find that her children weren't there. She knew from experience that they had crawled into bed with their older brother. Whenever he had come for an extended visit to Monterey it was his bed that they wound up in. They loved their big brother Squall and they missed him terribly especially if it had been a while between visits. Crossing the room she glanced into her stepsons room and found that her children were still sound asleep. Cuddled in tight around the bodies of Squall and his big blond boyfriend.

 

“They're beautiful aren't they?” Carrie whispered from behind her.

 

“Yes. All five of them.” Shauna replied softly. Then turned and loped her arm around Carries waist, “Let's let them sleep a little longer. I don't know about you but I could use a nice cup of coffee.”

 

Sean, Gideon, and Ellone awoke soon after and grew tired of watching their brother and Seifer sleep. Creeping stealthily from the bed they sat about exploring Squall's bedroom.

 

Gideon had one goal in mind, he wanted to find Squall's light saber and see what was so special about it that only Seifer was allowed to play with it. Unable to, he joined his brother and sister over by the nightstand to see what kind of treasures they had found.

 

There was a pistol which none of them touched that was one of the things that Squall had told them several times that you should never touch a gun that didn't belong to you, because if it belonged to you then you knew if it were loaded or not.

 

Sean pulled out the box of condoms and opened it and took one of the foil wrapped prophylactics out. Holding it up for his siblings too see he said quietly, “Look a balloon.” He was a little confused there was something wrong with this balloon it was kind of slimy and why was it rolled up like that. Unrolling it he put it up to his mouth and started to blow it up and dropped it. “Eww, it's gross.”

 

Ellone thought she had found the greatest treasure a little girl ever could, it was a leather band that had a sparkly jingle bell attached to it. But why did her big brother have this kind of bracelet it would never fit around his wrist. She pushed it with ease over her hand where she found that it did fit around her wrist. She frowned it was too big for her, but she found if she held her fingers splayed open it wouldn't fall off. Smiling smugly she held her hand aloft and displayed her find to her brothers giggling softly at the soft tinkling of the bell.

 

Gideon found a box of paint and wondered why his big brother would keep such an item in the nightstand. Opening up one of the tubes he found that it had a mild fruity flavor then squeezing a generous amount on his fingers he rubbed it along his cheekbones.

 

Sean paused in tearing open the foil wrappers, he thought that maybe the other balloons were going to be fine but to his chagrin they were all slimy. Looking over at his brother he saw that he was in the process of painting his face in a rainbow of colors, wanting to join the fun he dropped the now empty box and scooted over to where Gideon was.

 

The next few minutes were spent with them painting each other's faces and exposed body parts. A game was decided upon, they were going to be knights and they were going to protect The Princess Ellone from a very bad man, but the ringing of the doorbell brought an end to their play.

 

Carrie glanced across the table at Shauna and raised a shapely shoulder in a shrug, the two women rose from their seats and quickly walked into the living room hoping to answer the door before it rang again, each offering up a silent prayer that they would get there before it chimed again.

 

Sean, Gideon, and Ellone stopped playing and ran out of the bedroom each child giddy with excitement, a proclamation of “Daddy.” Echoing out around them.

 

Squall stretched and yawned out, “Oh god, I wonder who that is?”

 

Seifer groused, “With the way our luck is going, probably my father.”

 

Squall groaned, “I hope not.” And swung his legs over the side of the bed where his bare foot made contact with something squishy, he prayed silently that it wasn't something that Little Seifer had hacked up during the night. Shaking his foot subconsciously he made his way out of the bedroom and into the living room. Where he found that Carrie had opened the front door and had admitted a Kadaj into the house and he had several shopping bags clutched in his left hand.

 

Kadaj smiled at Carrie and said, “I brought the fixings for blueberry pancakes.”

 

Carrie stepped into his other arm and allowed him to pull her close. “Sounds great.” Then looked over to where Shauna was talking to the children.

 

They were a little disappointed that it hadn't been their daddy at door, but now they were as excited as they had been just a few moments before. Sean and Gideon wanted to show her what a fine job they had done disguising themselves while Ellone held her arm proudly above her head showing off the bauble that was still on her wrist.

 

“Look mama!” Sean proclaimed proudly, “Gideon and I are knights and we have to help Ellone.”

 

Ellone waved her wrist in front of her mother's face and said, “Yeah mama this bracelet is enchanted and…and…Sean and Gideon have to help protect me so the bad man won't get it.” She looked at her wrist again and lisped out, “I found it in Squall's room. It's too small for him but too big for me, but I'm going to get bigger, so do you think he'll let me keep it? ” The entire time she spoke she had been shaking her hand enjoying the soft jingle of the bell.

 

Squall stopped abruptly in the doorway of the bedroom, which caused Seifer to run into him, seeing what his little sister had around her wrist caused him to groan, “I'm being punished.”

 

Shauna looked at the piece of jewelry that Ellone was wearing and wondered why on earth Squall would have that kind of bracelet. She briefly thought that it might be a collar for Little Seifer but she had noticed that there was no buckle on it. Shauna Loire turned the color of cranberries when it finally dawned on her that it wasn't a bracelet or even a cat collar that adorned her little girls wrist but a piece of jewelry of an entirely different nature.

 

Shauna's head popped up to look over at the door where her stepson was trying to bury his flaming red face in Seifer's chest, who was laughing almost uncontrollably.

 

Kadaj's attention was drawn away from Carrie when he heard the tinkling of a bell and looking over to where Ellone Loire was proudly showing off her wrist to her mother promptly burst out laughing. He knew what it was since he had been the one that bought the crazy thing to begin with.

 

Carrie also looked over at her little sister, she knew what was on Ellone's wrist, unlike her stepmother who was somewhat innocently naïve she wasn't. Her eyes snapped over to the doorway where Squall and Seifer were trying without success to try and hide. A brief look of mortification crossed her face but she too started to laugh especially when she saw her little brothers covered in what she knew was edible body paint.

 

Shauna pulled away from her daughter, how on earth could she possibly tell her daughter that she couldn't have that particular bauble. Grasping her daughter's arm she pulled the piece of leather off of her wrist and said, “Ellone this is very special to Squall. So you can't have it okay honey?”

 

Ellone asked, “Why is it special mama? Did Seifer give it to him?”

 

Shauna wasn't sure of the circumstances under which Squall had gotten the thing that she was now holding gingerly between thumb and index finger but she knew that her daughter understood the value of presents so she said, “Yes honey he did?”

 

Managing to finally get a rein on his embarrassment Squall pulled his face away from Seifer's heaving chest and turned around, and saw that his little brothers were decorated in body paint. He muttered under his breath, “I wonder what else they found?” Hoping and praying that they hadn't found the fur lined handcuffs and any of the other adult toys he had. Last night when they had gone to bed he hadn't thought about locking his guns in the safe. He wasn't used to having children in the house and he had reiterated to his siblings several times that guns were not toys and that you should never ever touch one unless it belonged to you. He made the decision that he would be locking them away.

 

“Okay you little miscreants. I think that a bath is seriously in order here. Sean, Gideon come on and I'll give you a bath in my tub.” Squall signaled his little brothers over.

 

Gideon had been ready to tell his mama about Squall's light saber but the thought of getting to take a bath in that big bathtub stopped him. His big brother's bathtub was big enough to swim in. He pouted a little when Squall smiled at him and shook his finger and said, “No swimming. Just a bath.”

 

Sean on the other hand was getting to that age that all little boys do that having to take a bath was pure torture. He started to protest but it died just as quickly on his lips when Squall gave him the alternative. If he had to make a choice between a bath and a shower he would take the bath. He was a afraid of having water beat down on him, and that fear had started after Ben had sprayed him with a high pressure hose, that had knocked him on his bottom and continued even after he had started crying and screamed for him to stop.

 

“I think that Squall is right. Come on Ellone and mama will give you a bath.” Shauna said in the mom voice. Every person in the room was familiar with the mom voice. It was the voice that if it said `Stop' then you had better stop.

 

While Squall was giving Sean and Gideon a bath Seifer sat about cleaning up the mess that the children had made. He had started to laugh again when they came into the room and Sean had told Squall that his balloons were gross. Squatting down on the floor he picked up the mess and pouted a little when he found that the tubes of body paint were empty. He made a mental note that as soon as their company had left, he would have to replace them.

 

After baths were taken and the children dressed, they joined Kadaj and Carrie in the kitchen. Where Carrie was in the process of making blueberry pancakes.

 

Sean. Gideon and Ellone went over and sat down at the table and waited with their mother for breakfast to be done. Squall poured cups of coffee for he and Seifer and in their morning ritual took a sip and handed that cup to his boyfriend. Taking the other cup he walked over and sat down at the table.

 

Seifer grabbed a handful of blueberries and started to munch on them as he too made his way to the table.

 

Gideon took a swallow of his milk and looked at his mother and chirped out, “Mama did you know that Squall had a light saber? And only Seifer's allowed to play with it.” The events that followed the comment by Gideon Loire all happened simultaneously.

 

The pancake that Carrie was getting ready to flip flew off the spatula and hit the range hood with a wet squishy sound. When it fell a few seconds later, it landed on the stovetop splattering it and her with gooey pancake batter and blueberries.

 

Kadaj had pulled the tub of butter out of the refrigerator and dropped it where it landed with a plop, the lid flew off and the yellow substance splattered all over the toes of his black leather boots and halfway up his jean clad legs.

 

Seifer swallowed the blueberries he had just popped into his mouth and immediately started choking. He finally managed to cough them back up and started to rub his sore throat.

 

Shauna's mouth dropped open and literally hit the tabletop.

 

As for Squall he spewed the mouthful of coffee he had just taken halfway down the table. Dropping his head to the hard surface he started pounding it repeatedly. He should have made sure that Gideon was completely asleep before he and Seifer had continued their pillow talk from the night before. With each thunk of his head he groaned, “I'm being punished. I'm being punished.” Then he started mumbling, “I know it! I just know it! Somebody somewhere has a little Squall doll that they're sticking pins in.”

 

 

 

Authors note: I want a Squall doll, but I'd prefer mine life size and believe me I won't be sticking pins in him☺☺☺☺ !
