I am now part of Austin's family and he is part of mine. I am estatic. We are trying to find a place to live.. But we haven't found anything yet. We are looking to get a house. But if we can't find one, we will probably just rent an apartment.
I woke up, and again felt Austin's breathing on my neck. I got up slowly, and this time he didn't wake up. I went over and got Alicia, and took her into the kitchen. I was surprised she was awake.
Not long after I took Alicia into the kitchen and got her something to eat, Austin was there when I turned around.
"Hey" I said in a lazy tone.
"Hey Hun" He said and kissed my cheek.
"If I start pouring coffee in the baby's sippie cup, stop me.. Because you KNOW I'm not a morning person." I said half asleep.
"Okay." He said. He paused and looked at me. "In that case.. I'll just fill her sippie cup up for you." He said with a laugh. He grabbed Alicia's sippie cup from me and went to the fridge and filled it up with apple juice. Once Austin gave Alicia her sippie cup, she put it to her mouth and ran into the living room, and threw it at the T.V.
"BAD BARNY!" she yelled and went and got her stuffed animals and once again attacked the T.V that I had turned on, to the Noggin channel.. And Barney happened to be on.
"ALICIA!" I yelled and ran to her. I grabbed the remote and changed the channel, and suddenly she was hypnotized to the T.V screen.
"There." I said and went back to the kitchen to make breakfast. "Alicia, honey, what do you want for breakfast?" I said.
"Moobleygootawashnabooo…." She mumbled not knowing what she was saying because her eyes were glued to the T.V screen.
"Alicia honey…!" I said. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST?"
"…" Her mouth just hung open and her eyes stared at the T.V.
I walked over to her and turned off the T.V.
"Breakfast time Alicia.. what do you want for breakfast?" I asked her. And immediately she went into spaz mode.
"MOMMY! NO! TURN THE T.V BACK ON! MAGGIE AND FUROSUS BEASTEST!" she yelled at me. When I stood there and crossed my arms and stared at her, she started to hit me. I grabbed her hands, and my eyes turned from gold, to dark brown, to RED. Austin had seen my eyes, and ran over to me and grabbed Alicia, and put her in her room. He came back to me and just held me. I stood there mad, and after about 20 seconds, my eyes went back to normal.
"Sorry.." I said.
"Its fine.." Austin said back and then went and got Alicia from out of her room.
Alicia walked calmly back to the kitchen, and sat in her chair at the table. She waved her hand at Austin to come to her. Austin walked to her and Alicia grabbed his shirt and pulled him down so his face was in front of hers. She whispered in his ear. I used my 'powers' and used super hearing. I could hear what she said "Daddy…mommy mad at me.."
"No she's not.. She just was upset that you hit her. That's all…" He whispered back to her. I depressedly sat on the couch, leaned forward and put my face in my hands.
I got up and made breakfast, we all ate and then sat and watched T.V for a bit. I told Alicia to stay here and watch the T.V while I talked to Austin. I pulled Austin into the other room and turned on the lights.
"I think its time for us to give her the stone.. Because if I go all spaz mode, and she's the one who made me.. She might die. I at least want her to protect herself." I said concerned. "And if I ever do start to hurt her.. I want you to kill me, or do something so that I cant hurt her anymore."
"GABBIE! Im not going to kill you! I love you! But…yea.. I agree.. we should give Alicia the stone." He said. I kissed him deeply, and then grabbed the stone and went out into the living room.
"Alicia, honey, some here.. I need to tell you something, and show you something." I said and handed the stone to Austin and went and picked up Alicia and brought her into the kitchen.
"Yea mommy? ARE YOU GOING TO HURT ME?!" she said.
"No no no noooo honey.." I said putting her on the table.
"See.. me and daddy have super powers.. and we wanted you to have them too." I said.
"ARE YOU WONDERWOMAN!?" Alicia exclaimed.
"No.." I laughed. "Hold out your hand honey.. and this might burn a little bit"
She held out her hand and closed her eyes. I gently placed the stone in her little fragile hand, and wrapped her fingers around it. Suddenly she started to scream and cry, and squirm around. I felt tears stream down my face because of her cry in pain. I held her close to me. I thought she had enough, so I pulled the stone away. She was still crying in pain, and ran to Austin.. not me.
"DADDY! MOMMY IS MAD AT ME!" she cried. "SHE HURTED ME!"
"No honey! Mommy was trying to give you superpowers! Its okay… its going to be alright" he said and held her close. He tried giving her to me.. but Alicia just clinged to his body.
I ran into the other room crying because of what I did. I hurt her, now she will never want me as a mother. After about an hour, I came out of the room. My eyes widened and my hands were trembling. I put my trembling hand over my mouth in shock. Alicia was about the size of a 5 year old. And according to Austin.. she had the brain of a 5 year old. And this wasn't the end of her growth.
"Hi mom.." She looked at me and then at herself. "Do you like my new look?"
