Sherry(to self), "Wow, I can't belive what happened! It was so...so incredible! I wasn't sure about it at first, but then it just happened. I feel kinda strange afterwards, and I'm not sure what's gonna happen now. I couldn't just let him down like that, not doing anything beforehand. The poor guy's worried about the future. All I know is that I love him dearly, and from what we did, I guess I really trust him.
*Arrmadude rolls over onto his side and still sleeps*
Sherry- And it is true that technically him and I are about the same age. It felt right in a way to do that with him. I know I'm only 16, but I wanted to prove that I was capable of handling certain situations.
*Arrmaduke shifts around and continues to nap*
Sherry- He's such a great guy, I trust him and love him. What happened tonight, it proves how much we love each other.
*Phone rings. Sherry answers* Sherry- Hello?
Leon- Sherry! Where are you!? I came home and your mother told me you weren't here!
Sherry- I'm sorry, I was worried about Arrmaduke, so I decided to look for him and I found him here, sleeping.
Leon- ok, so? Is all your homework done?
Sherry- Yeah, I finished it earlier in the afternoon.
Leon- I'm worried. It's a full moon out and a woman came into the city with bite wounds....at her neck...and Daemon even complained that Arrmaduke was wanting some of his blood
Sherry- Well, Arrmaduke is sound asleep right now.
Leon- Sherry? did anyhting happen?
Sherry- No, everything's fine, he's alright.
Leon- are you sure? Am I going to have to check for teeth marks when you come home?
Sherry- He didn't bite me, trust me, nothing happened.
Leon- o-kay, I'm trusting you on this one. COme on home for bed, ok?
Sherry- Alright, I'll be home soon.
Leon- ok *hangs up*
Arrmaduke- *Arrmaduke lifts his head tiredly* Sherry, dear, who was that?
Sherry- That was my father, he was worried.
Arrmaduke- Oh. what about? So, honey, you going?
Sherry-Well, I better go before my dad really worries. Yeah, I better.
Arrmaduke- I love you dearest. And...I've never thought of such pleasures.:-)
Sherry- Either did I :-) I love you too :-)
Arrmaduke- well, you'd better go before your parents worry:'(
Sherry- I'll see you tomorrow evening, okay?
Arrmaduke- alright darling, I love you
Sherry- I love you too, goodnight.
Jill and Reggie
*Reggie stretches*
Jill-Tired honey?
Reggie- Huh? Oh, not too badly
Jill- That's good. So, how was your day?
Reggie- ug*rolls eyes*
Jill- Not good huh?
Reggie- LONG and tiring
Jill- I'm sorry, kids giving you a hard time at college?
Reggie- yeah, rather inept
Jill- That stinks. I was tired the whole day myself, and working long hours didn't help me any.
Reggie- I'm SO sorry, darling! How ARE you, anyway? You and the baby?
Jill- What am I saying working, listen to me! I'm NOT working! Anyway, I'm doing alright, and the baby is doing just fine :-)
Reggie- great
Jill- I guess I had a long day too. You know how this pregnancy stuff affects me sometimes.
Reggie- yeah,
Jill- Totally messes up my system. I guess it's wearing me out right now.
Reggie- Well, you should rest, my dear!
Jill- Yeah, you're right, I should.
Reggie- well, at least lay back and read a book?
Jill- Okay, I will.
Reggie- I'll be to bed shortly *Goes to sit at his desk across the room*
*Jill goes into the bedroom and lies down with a book in her hands. Raymond runs into the room and climbs onto the bed*
Jill- Hello little Raymond
Raymond- Aaaah! HIiii! *hops on the bed on his knees*
Jill- Quite active, aren't you?
Raymond- *laughs*
Jill- Say, what are you doing up anyway, you're supposed to be in bed.
Raymond- hee hee hee *gets up and jumps on the bed*
Jill- Not tired huh?
Raymond- Uh uh!
Jill- Why don't you lie next to me and I'll read you a story.
Raymond- uh uh!
Jill- Okay. Stay right on the bed.
Raymond- uh uh! hee hee hee
*Jill gets off the bed and grabs a book from the shelf and sits back on the bed. Raymond jumps higher and nearer to the edge of the bed*
Jill- Hey, take it easy! You little hyper monkey!
*Raymond looses his footing and tumbles off the bed, grabbing the blankets as he flew to the floor. Jill gets off the bed and tends to Raymond*
Jill- Are you okay?
*Raymond cries loudly. Reggie rushes in and gasps seeing his littlest son crying on the floor and the bed a mess*
Reggie- What happened, darling?!
*Jill holds Raymond in her arms*
Jill-He fell off the bed.
Reggie- I wouldn't think it'd hurt that much!
Jill- I think he's a little scared.
Reggie- aw!* Reggie kneels down on the floor by them*
Jill- He'll be okay, it doesn't look like anything's hurt.
Louis- *pads in* what's goin on?
Jill-Your brother fell off the bed.
Louis- Pfft! Wimp*grumbles to self. Louis pads back to his room*
Jill-Does Raymond look okay to you Doctor Dad?
Reggie- Aw, he's fine, maybe a little shaken, but we'll cure that up with a great big hug!
Jill- yeah!
*Reggie gathers up Raymond and squeezes. Jill hugs him as well. And he also tickes him with his bill. Raymond starts to quit his whimpering*
Jill-Awe :-)
Raymond- hee hee hee
Jill- Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!
Reggie- yep. Now Lil' Raymond, why don't you go to bed?
Raymond- uh uh!
Jill-Goodnight Raymond!
Reggie- - Now come on, if you don't go to bed tonight then you can't wake up tomarrow!
Raymond- er....
Jill-C'mon Raymond, I'll help you into bed.
Raymond- uh uh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reggie- Raymond!*said strictly*
*Jill picks up Raymond*
Raymond- No! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!! *Raymond screamed*
Jill- Raymond, you need to go to bed, it's late.
Raymond- N, Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Raymond- Naoooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Jill- Raymond, stop this nonsense at once!
Raymond- naaaaaoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Jill- Alright young man, I've had just about enough of this!
Reggie- sigh. Raymond! Your mother doesn't need this hassel!
Jill- Raymond, please, go to sleep. We're all tired and we need our rest.
*Raymond starts to cry*
Reggie- Jill, I'll take care of this, you can go to sleep, ok?
Jill- Okay darling, thank you.
Raymond- Nooooo! No bed!
*Reggie takes Ray out to the rec room downstares to keeo the noise down*
Raymond- No go!
*They're down there and Reggie sits Ray down to talk to him*
Reggie- Raymond, there are things in this world we don't want to do, but we have to do them, understand?
Raymond- hee hee hee!
Reggie- DO you understand? yes..or no?
Raymond- No!
Reggie- well, see, sometimes, Daddy doesn't want to go to work, but I have to to pay for your food and clothes. ok?
Raymond- have bed, no want to.
Reggie- Raymond, all you have to do is calm down and you'll get sleepy and want to go to bed!
Raymond- No want bed! *Raymond is starting to get tired of complaining*
Reggie- ssh, come here and we'll read How The Tiger Got It's Stripes, ok?
Raymond- Okay.
Reggie- alright, "Once upon a time there was a tiger that had no spots, no stripes, only tearstains and itches on his back......"
*Raymond laughs*
Reggie- Sssh, listen and relax, ok? *Daddy Reggie continues and in an hour finished the child's book*
*Raymond does in fact fall asleep.
*Reggie gently puts the book away and carries Raymond up to his bed and covers him up, kisses him goodnight and heads to a well earned rest*
Jill-That you Reggie?
Reggie- Oh, yes darling. I'm sorry, did I wake you?
Jill- No, I was awake. Did Raymond finally go to sleep?
Reggie- finally, yes
Jill- That's good. Thank you so much for taking care of him and putting him to bed :-)
Reggie- ug, what a piece of work
Jill- Yes, he is a handful for such a little guy.
Reggie- yeah. and goodness knows WHY he was born SO early!!!
Jill- He was eager to get out! LOL!
Reggie- LOL!
Jill- It's good that he's asleep, at least for now.
Reggie- yes, and he COMPLETELY didn't understand our man to man talk either! *rolls eyes*
Jill- I'm sorry sweetie. He's still quite young yet and doesn't completely understand us.
Reggie- I know :-(
Jill- He will though, we have to keep talking to him so that he can understand.
Reggie- yeah, I suppose
Jill- He'll come around.
Reggie- yea
Jill- Let's go to bed Reggie.
Reggie- good idea
*Jill gets under the covers and puts her head on the pillow*
Reggie- Goodnight dear
Jill- Goodnight Reggie.
*Reggie kisses her goodnight. She kisses back and gives him a hug. they go to sleep*
