Chapter Forty One - How To Sabotage a Party ... Toddler Style

The day after William's birthday, it was Snow Day, and both Shannon and Austin rolled a wish to host a Gift Giving party. So I decided, it was time for Shannon to hit the spotlight, so she organised the party.

Because of all the toddler//skilling stuff they'd purchased for William, it was quite cramped and there wasn't any space to place the presents pile, so I decided to revamp the house a little and add on an annex where William could play/sleep etc.

 

William looks as though he's really enjoying his toys and stuff.

Playing with the doll house.

And the xylophone. Although he wasn't all that excited about that little toy.

Shannon decided to roll a wish to potty train William, but stopped midway, to roll into her maternity clothing.
That meant Austin taking over ... to 'attack with the claw'.

Too cute.

Anyhow, time ticked onwards and the party was coming up pretty soon. So, to make sure that William didn't disturb the celebrations, Austin took him to his crib.

However, William wasn't having it.

Hungry!
Bedtime.
HUNGREEEEE!!!
Bed-time. No excuses!!
HUNGREEEE!!!!

He screamed blue murder, causing all the guests to tut at poor Austin, trying his hardest to keep the young un quiet.

Come on son, you are tired. Now get some sleep.
Story.
Not now.
Story.
No, I need to go pee.
Story.
You are not going to win this one.
STOREEEEEEE!!!

Yeah, Austin wished to read William a bedtime story, but it was cancelled out because of Austin's dire need to go pee. William's energy needs were deep red, and his hunger was orange. It was one or the other.
In this case, there was also a third option.
Austin really REALLY needed to go to the bathroom. But William was yelling his lungs out.

HUNGREEE
Oh come on kid, I REALLY need to go, it's hurting!
HUNGREEEE!!!!
Holy crap kid, you are LOUD!!

Sadly, the battle of wills only had one winner.
Austin's bladder ... well, it gave up the ghost and he peed himself!!

Oh .... crap!!
There wasn't time for him to take a quick shower, so he sat as far away from everyone just so that they didn't inhale his stinky odour. Only Crypto sat with him, claiming that he couldn't smell anything since he'd caught a 'human cold'.

Meanwhile, back in the nursery, William wasn't giving up without a fight and even though he was close to exhaustion, he STILL screamed the place down!!

The party was in full swing, people dancing, Shannon doing a trivia quiz with the babysitter.

Apart from William in his attempt to sabotage the party and get all the attention for himself, it was quite a fun event for everyone!!!!

Shannon farted hearts for one of the guests.....
... I'll put that down to her hormones being a bit skewed!!!

Oh and I've discovered that William has himself an IF (imaginary friend) doll, called Peanut.

Chapter Forty - A Double Celebration

Austin was organising a birthday party for William, hence the phone call. Perhaps a gathering of all their friends would cheer Shannon up somehow.

He went to work, in the worst blizzards that Dragon Valley had ever known, and came home to tell us all the good news. He'd just reached his Lifetime Wish.

From now on, he is to be known as Austin Powers International Super Spy..... has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Nice suit by the way!!

He needed to recharge his batteries before the celebrations, and took a nap on the settee, just as the guests were arriving!!!

During the celebrations, Shannon vanished upstairs.
Now we know why she's been moody lately.
She's pregnant again!!!
Either that, or she's been eating rotten leftovers from the fridge once more!!!

Looks as though one of our guests is looking a little worried.

And for good reason too.
It appears that someone else is trying the old 'shove a plate through the torso' act.

Austin collected William from his crib and brought him downstairs to help blow out the candles, whilst everyone gathered.

Crypto preferred to commandeer the settee for a little brain regeneration!

With a sprinkle and a POOF!! Gone goes the cocoon baby, and here comes little toddler William.

Altogether now....

AWWWWWW

He's got his dad's dark eyes and skintone, but the rest of him is all Shannon's. From the pink fairy wings to the facial features.

Here's a little more info about William.


Star Sign : Virgo
Likes:
Music: Beach party
Colour: Sea Foam
Food: French Toast.

Lifetime Wish not yet recognised since he's still a bit too young to wish for anything so grandiose at the moment.

And he's got his dad wrapped around his chubby little finger LOL

All he's got to do is yell, and Austin makes sure he gets what he wants.

Oh by the way, it just so happened to be a Full Moon. So this party ended up with a few zombies enjoying the festivities at the same time!!!

Chapter Thirty Nine - Napping In The Snow is Just Asking For Trouble

I think William is Hydrophobic - giving me ideas for his next trait here!!!
Well, you judge for yourself as Shannon decides to clean him up after he pooped himself.
Things were going well, until she popped him into the bath.

 

And he screamed the place down!!!!

In the meantime, these odd 'on call' shifts are taking their toll on Austin. Twice did he collapse with sheer exhaustion.

Once outside of his workplace.

The next time, literally yards away from his own front door!!!

You'd better be careful Austin, you'll freeze if you are not careful. Napping in the snow is just asking for trouble.

Oh by the way, love the outfit. What are you today?
Dunno, but these leather pants are a bit breezy though!!

Think of it this way Austin, not long to go to your Lifetime Wish, and then all my attention is focused on your son.
Does that mean I lose all my control? I won't be able to think for myself?
I never said that.
But isn't that what the rules state?
Once again, I didn't state that.

Here's Shannon showing Austin the 'proper' way to use the water slide ... in Winter.

O-kay.

Oh by the way, loving your instant dry clothing, wouldn't that be great in real life?
Plus, she rolled a wish to make a snow angel!

I think she's forgetting that she's a mother now.
Somehow I don't think she's got the mothering instinct in her.

This baby sucks the life out of me, I want the old times back. I want some fun!

Oh Shannon.

Speaking of Shannon. Even though she's having difficulty in dealing with motherhood, she's rolled another wish to have a baby. So her hormones are going into overdrive as she accosts Austin, quite forcefully, almost knocking him off his feet!!

And right in front of William no less!!!

Hey there my sexy man! Give us a kiss.
Uh Shannon? You okay?

Just want to ravish the love of my life!
Uh, o-kay, but take it easy now, I'm kinda easy to break ..... WHOA!!!!

Have you no decency guys? Get a room .... puhlease, before you scar your son for life!!!!

Yeah, that's the spirit!!!

Sooo, whilst Shannon is sleeping off her exhaustion, Austin is taking a quick nap before taking his turn feeding and fussing over William.

Altogether now ..... AWWWWWWW
If you look close enough, you can just make out his sparkles, which means when he grows up, so will his fairy wings!!!

Uh, Austin?
Yeah?
What's ... going on?
Had this sudden urge to repair the shower.

*faints*

You mean you actually WISHED for this?
Yes.
O.M.G. Even Bonehilda is shocked!! (she was actually waiting for him to move so she could mop the floor, but this sounded even better!!!)

See, um, it's like this ..... I broke it whilst taking a shower, I didn't want the missus to know, so I thought I'd better fix it!
Ah, that explains things.

Speaking of Bonehilda, she's taken a shine to William. Standing creepily over him, staring down as he screams his lungs out. And getting Shannon annoyed at the same time!!!

Once again, I hope this child isn't going to be scarred for life here.

Grumble grumble grumble, stupid dirty laundry, guess I'd better do it myself since there's nobody else wanting to help out.

Something wrong Shannon?
This place SUCKS, nobody cleans up after themselves. Why is it always left to me?
Because.... you WISHED for it. Nobody else did, so I have to fulfil that wish.

Sweetie? Is something wrong?
Very perceptive Austin.
Nothing.
Why don't you sit down with me, have some dinner and we'll discuss it. Yes?

It's a very uncomfortable mealtime indeed, but it spurred Austin on to do something drastic that he hopes would put a smile back on his wife's face once more.

Yeah, oh and no clowns okay?

What IS he planning I wonder?
