"It was Lucy's idea!” They both say pointing to her.
"Liar! You said we were going to blame it on Ace! It was your idea!" Lucy says, smacking Tyson's hand away, and I raise an eyebrow at him.
"So it was Tyson?" I ask her and she nods while Tyson looks ready to soil himself.
Tyson darts off toward the kitchen. Just the place I am headed anyway. I hear my bedroom door slam and know Reika is losing her shit up stairs about Lucy going to school.
‘She's probably up there clawing our pillow in a fit of rage. Glad you have to deal with her’ Brax tells me.
‘You better not ditch me, like last time!’
‘Fuck that! She lets Amanda out, you on your own.’ Brax tells me, bloody wolf scared of some one who barely reaches our chest.
‘She may be small but she is vicious. I'm not getting involved once the claws come out.’ I roll my eyes at him and head for the kitchen.
"Tyson just come here, stop being a chicken,” I tell him, dropping the bags on the counter.
"No way!" I heard him call out. Bloody idiot, just gave himself away. Walking over to the pantry, I opened it. And he was cowering in the bottom of it, holding the broom like it would save him.
"It was all Ace's idea, I swear on his Xbox not mine,” he says. I rip the broom away from him and he squeals trying to find an escape.
"Please, pretty please with a cherry on top don't kill me" he begs and I laugh at petrified face, he tries to run between my legs but I close them around his head.
"And not the hair, it just grew back" he squeals as I reach down and grab him. I toss him over my shoulder while he thrashes trying to escape, damn he was getting heavy.
"Lucy baby come with me, I need your help,” I tell her, marching up the steps. Tyson screaming and thrashing on my shoulder.
"Lucy don't help him, help me,” Tyson begs and she giggles, skipping up the steps ahead of me and waiting on the landing.
"Traitor, I am not having a tea party with you now,” Tyson tells her. I walk toward the bathroom and Tyson grips the door frame and I have to pry his fingers off before turning him upside down. As soon as I walk toward the toilet he starts screaming the noise is high pitched and makes my ears ring
"Take the hair, take the hair, no it has skiddies" he screams, his hands clinging to the toilet bowl trying to stop his head from going in. I dunk his head in it.
"Lucy be a dear and flush the toilet for daddy"
"Lucy don't do it, don’t listen to him you love me more,” Tyson screams before his words are cut off by her flushing the toilet.
She giggles, and I let him go. He falls awkwardly to the floor stuck between the toilet and the wall. Ace laughs from the doorway and he gives Lucy a high five on her way out.
Tyson was dry retching in the toilet bowl. Serve him right the little shit.
" If it makes you feel any better, that skid mark was mine,” Ace tells him and Tyson growls at him before throwing up. I scoop Lucy up, giving her a cuddle. "Guess what?"
"What?" She asks.
"You get to go to school tomorrow,” I tell her. Her little eyes light up.
"Really, mum said yes"
"No, but I did, I will deal with your mother,” I tell her, kissing her cheek. She wraps her tiny arms around my neck.
"She is really going,” Ace asks me through the mindlink and I nod.
"Yes, I wouldn't have said she is if she wasn't"
"Reika?"
"Not happy but she is enrolled and going"
