Chapter 1
“Momma! We need to cover the windows with garlic!” a five year old boy squealed as he ran into the kitchen, he was wearing a red t-shirt and dark blue overalls and his sneakers. His, usually, tidy hair was ruffled and his, usually olive skin, was dark from the Roswell sun. A mixture of a husky/Alsatian/Labrador dog came barking as he followed the young boy.
Elizabeth Evans turned to face her son with a startled look, she was currently feeding her 3 year old daughter when her son came rushing in, his voice filled with fear. His dark eyes, which were so much like her husband’s, were slightly filled with tears.
“Why?” Liz asked.
“So the vampires can’t get in!” he exclaimed, practically bouncing with fear. “We need Ghostbusters on speed dial so they can bust the ghosts, we need silver Crosses for the Werewolves and we need water to melt the witches!” he explained, looking around as if he expected them to jump out from the corner.
Liz put the spoon down and reached her arms out.
“Come here Jamie.” Liz told him and he hurried over to her, seeking the shelter of her arms. Liz lifted him up so that he was sitting on her lap and ran her hand through his dark locks. “Do you want to tell me what’s this about?” Liz asked.
“Uncle Michael and Uncle Kyle told me that monsters come out for Halloween, they like to come into our houses when the parents have left and eat them all up.” Jamie told her before looking up at her with puppy eyes. “Can you and daddy stay here tomorrow night?” he asked with a hopeful voice and Liz sighed slightly.
“Sweetie, Uncle Michael and Uncle Kyle were only kidding you on Sweetie, beside, Uncle Chris will be here to look after you.” Liz promised him.
“But Momma, Daddy makes sure there’s no monsters in our bedroom.” Jamie told her and she smiled.
“How about this, Daddy looks around to make sure there’s no monsters before we leave and Uncle Chris looks around for the monsters just before you go to sleep then when Daddy and I come home, Daddy can look again?” Liz asked and Jamie thought about it before nodding.
“Okay momma, but you gotta promise.” He told her and she laughed slightly as she kissed her son’s forehead.
“I promise sweetie.” Liz told him as she hugged him.
The front door opened.
“Honey, I’m home.” A male voice called through, Jamie’s face light up as he jumped down from his mother’s lap and ran through the hallway.
“DADDY!” he screamed as his father lifted him up and swung him about before pulling him into a hug.
“Hey, how daddy’s little man?” he asked as Jamie hugged him.
They made their way into the kitchen and the father smiled when he saw his wife and daughter. “Hey.” He greeted as he leaned down and kissed his wife.
“Max.” Liz whispered as she kissed him back before pulling away and picking up their daughter.
“Dada.” She gurgled as she reached out, Max smiled as he let Jamie down before taking his daughter into his arms.
“And how’s Daddy’s little girl?” Max asked as he kissed her cheek, causing her to giggle as she pressed a sloppy kiss to his cheek.
“How was your day?” Liz asked as she took their daughter back into her arms and walked over to the counter next to the sink, she sat her down and ran the water before running a cloth under it so she could clean up their daughter.
“Fine, gruelling as usual but it’s worth it.” Max told her as he leaned in and kissed her neck before making a face at his daughter.
“Sasha, stay still.” Liz warned as her daughter squirmed on the counter.
“Daddy, you need to help me with the garlic and stuff.” Jamie told him as he looked around with fear in his eyes before bolting up the stairs, scaring their cat as it let out a yowl and leaped up onto the table before sitting down and licking his paw.
“WC, what did I tell you about being on the table.” Liz warned and the cat purred as he leaped down and wrapped himself around her legs. “Oh, now you’re sooking up to me.
“Hey, what’s up with Jamie?” Max asked and Liz sighed as she turned to face him.
“Your best friends decided to tell Jamie all about Werewolves, Witches, Ghosts and Vampires, he came in here saying that we needed garlic for the windows, water for the witches, Ghostbusters on Speed dial and silver crosses for the Werewolves.” She explained and Max sighed.
“He freaked.” Max stated and Liz nodded.
“Big time, in fact I had to promise that you would check for monsters before we leave tomorrow, that Chris will check for monsters before he goes to sleep and that you would check for monsters when we come back!” she exclaimed and Max rubbed a hand over his face.
“What did they think they were doing tell him these things!” Max demanded and Liz shrugged.
“How would I know, they’re you friends Max.” she reminded and he nodded.
“Don’t remind me.” He muttered, planning away on how to make them regret telling Jamie about the horrors of Halloween.
“Max, do you really think we should go out tomorrow night?” Liz asked; worry showing in her eyes as she picked up Sasha and headed into the playroom, she placed Sasha into her toy ring and let her played with her toys.
“Liz, we’ve been planning this for ages.” Max reminded and Liz nodded.
“I know, it’s just with Jamie so scared…” Liz started but Max spun her around and kissed her.
“Everything will be fine, Chris will be here to take care of them, all we have to do is go out and have a good time and come back, the kids will be fine.” Max told her, Liz opened her mouth to protest but Max placed his index finger on her lips. “At least it’s not Kyle and Michael looking after them.” Max told her and she gave in, nodding.
“You’re right.” She told him and he nodded before kissing her once more and he knelt down to play with his daughter, moving the bear into a dancing mode, smiling as she laughed and clapped her hands as she watched the bear.
Liz smiled down at her husband and daughter before moving up the stairs to see her son, she looked into the bedroom and saw him pulling out all the legos and started building a fort around his bed, she stifled a laugh when she saw this as she watched as Bast, their dog, sit to the side, his head cocked as he watched Jamie. “Honey, what are you doing?” Liz asked as she moved further into the bedroom.
Jamie looked up when he heard his mother voice.
“Building a fort so that the monsters can’t get to me.” Jamie explained and Liz sighed as she moved around the fort and placed Jamie on her lap as she sat down.
“Honey, the monsters are not going to get you.” Liz assured. “Uncle Michael and Uncle Kyle were just being stupid honey.” She explained.
“How do you know?” Jamie asked as he looked up at her.
“Uncle Michael and Uncle Kyle just like to scare people when it comes to Halloween, they think it’s funny, sometimes they just don’t think, they were just making it up.” Liz told him and he nodded.
“Really?” he asked and she smiled.
“Yes sweetie, beside, Uncle Chris will be here to look after you if there was any monsters.” Liz told him and he nodded with a smile.
“I like Uncle Chris, he makes really good popcorn and he always brings us treats. I like his friend too.” Jamie told him and Liz smiled as she listened to her son talk about her best friend and his boyfriend, she had met Chris when she went on Holiday, she and Max had went through a rough break-up over something stupid and Chris had broken up with his boyfriend at the time, both of them had bonded through the pain and he had helped her understand Max’s point of view.
Once she found out that she was pregnant with Jamie, he had helped her tell Max cause she feared Max’s reaction of getting pregnant at a young age but to her surprise, Max just wrapped her up in his arms and asked her to marry him and Chris had became Jamie’s god-father.
“I like Uncle Chris too.” Liz told him as she kissed her son’s forehead before they cleared up the Legos and made their way into the playroom where Max was giving Sasha the aeroplane ride.
Max looked up and smiled when he saw Jamie run toward him, asking Max to give him the ride as well. Liz took Sasha into her arms and dropped kisses over her baby girl’s face, eliciting giggles.
“Shall we watch a film?” Max asked and Jamie cheered.
“Halloween Town!” Jamie cheered and they all went into the living room to get settled to watch a film as a family.
Jamie woke up with fear; he pulled the covers up to his chin as his brown eyes, wide with fear, looked around the room. He grabbed his teddy before climbing out of bed and hurried into his parent’s bedroom.
He opened the door and looked in to see his parents sleeping on the bed as he crept in and walked over to his mother’s side.
“Momma?” Jamie whispered, Liz sighed as she opened her eyes before blinking when she saw her son.
“Jamie?” Liz asked.
“Can I sleep with you and dad tonight?” he asked and Max groaned slightly as he awoke from his sleep.
“Jump in buddy.” Max stated as Liz lifted the covers and helped Jamie climbed into the middle of Max and Liz.
Both adults turned to face each other and smiled over their son’s head as his eyes drooped as he went back to sleep. Liz kissed his forehead before reaching over and kissed Max on the lips before going to sleep herself, leaving Max staring at his Son and Wife sleeping together.
He turned slightly when he heard a noise and climbed out of bed and walked into Sasha’s bedroom in time to see her standing in her cot.
“Where’s Jamie?” Sasha asked and Max smiled as he lifted her up.
“In our bed, wanna sleep with us?” Max asked and Sasha grinned as she jumped slightly in his arms, he smiled as he kissed her forehead and headed back to his and Liz’s bedroom, he climbed back into the bed and made sure that Sasha was nice and comfortable in the bed before looking at his family once more.
He felt a thump and looked down at his feet to see Bast stretching himself out on the bed before flopping down as WC climbed on the bed and curled up next to Liz feet.
Max smiled as he lay back down again and looked at the ceiling, thanking god for bringing him the best family he could ever ask for.
