Rose was nearly certain that Mr. Hartford didn’t really need the new artifact. At least, she was hoping he didn’t because she was probably going to smash it if they didn’t find out how to use it. At the very least, she’d throw it into the ocean. That way, it wasn’t destroyed, but it could never bother her again. She was even past wanting to study it at this point not that she had the chance to at this point in time. Instead, she glanced up toward the ceiling, hands on her hips. “Dax! Get down here!”
“But I’m bouncing!” The reply came to her. Rose’s eyes narrowed.
“Now, Dax!” Her eyes widened as he let go and headed straight down for her. She quickly moved out of the way and he bounced like a Gummi Bear all over the room before finally stopping and grinning up at her. The grin wasn’t shared. She grabbed a hold of him and dragged him into the next room, setting him next to Tyzonn. “Stay.”
Ronny looked up at her. “They’re kids, Rose. Not dogs,” she reminded her, moving Mack from one leg to the other as the little boy slept. She looked over and counted. “Where’s Will?”
“I don’t know! You find him,” Rose snapped and Ronny sighed, gently picking up Mack and setting him on the floor. The three-year-old immediately snuggled up with the blanket. She turned to Tyzonn and Dax.
“Naptime,” she instructed. Both just looked at her.
“We’re not sleepy!” Dax answered, bouncing on his toes. Fortunately, he was staying on the ground this time.
“Just close your eyes,” Rose answered. They looked unhappy at the suggestion. Ronny thought for a moment before finally smiling at both of them.
“If you both lie down and stay there, you can have a piggy-back-ride later,” she bribed and Dax looked a bit skeptical.
“Super fast?” He asked and Ronny nodded. “Good enough for me!”
Tyzonn looked at her, not convinced, and Ronny thought for a minute. “We can look through some of the books later so you can see pictures of Earth. Just lie down and try not to turn into mercury, okay?”
He was lying down almost as quickly as Dax. Ronny looked at Rose, who blinked a few times at that before shaking her head. “I shouldn’t underestimate you.”
“Nope,” she answered cheerfully. “They’re not that bad. Hell, they’re kind of cute!”
“Ronny…” Rose started and Ronny kissed her to stop the rant that was forming.
“Besides, they’re not that different from how they are as adults,” she mentioned happily. “Only with less hormones.”
“Like you’d be?” Rose asked and Ronny rolled her eyes before pouting and turning away from her lover.
“I bet you were no fun as a kid. Probably didn’t get into pillow fights, or make mud pies, or tie a leash around your pet dog and have him drag you and the wagon around, or even ride your bike down the stairs,” Ronny complained and Rose shook her head.
“No, I was reading,” she answered and Ronny sighed.
“Too bad this didn’t hit you,” she muttered. Rose whipped her head around to glare at her, but Ronny stood her ground. “I mean it! I think the reason you’re having trouble is because you never had fun!”
“I had fun! I read! I started playing with electronics…” she started and Ronny shook her head.
“I mean normal fun, Rose,” she said. “Like jumping on furniture when your parents weren’t watching, or climbing on to the… I know where Will is.”
Rose’s eyes met hers and they rushed outside as the boy was walking around the roof that he’d somehow managed to climb. Both Ronny and Rose were starting to figure out exactly how he’d become a spy. Ronny looked at her girlfriend. “Stay here and if he falls, catch him.”
“What are you… Ronny!” Rose called out as Ronny used her speed to make her way up to the roof of the mansion.
“Will, come here,” Ronny coaxed. “Auntie Rose is afraid we’re both going to fall.”
“I’m okay, Aunt Ronny. I know what I’m doing!” Will argued. Ronny nodded.
“I know, but you know how Aunt Rose is. Please?” Ronny asked and the child sighed, but walked over to her. She took a hold of him and rushed down, nearly giving Rose a heart attack. When she reached the ground, Ronny turned to Will.
“Naptime! The others are already lying down,” she told him. “We can play more later.”
“Ah, Aunt Ronny! I ain’t a baby!” He pouted and turned to Rose. “Aunt Rose…”
“Bed. Now.” The response was quick and clipped matching Rose’s glare. Will stomped off back into the house, leaving his surrogate aunts alone. “Ronny?”
“Yeah?”
“We’re never having children. Ever,” Rose answered. Ronny snickered a bit at Rose’s annoyed reaction, but still leaned into her when Rose wrapped her arms around her. “But, that pillow fight might be okay. Once we fix the boys.”
“Right.” Ronny grinned. Baby steps, that’s all it took. She’d make Rose have fun if it took the rest of her life. Knowing Rose, it would probably take even longer.
