Beetlejuice + Lydia = Baby -Beetlejuice Fanfic-

Chapter 1: 24 Hours

It was stormy night in August much to Lydias dismay, she was more of a person that loved the fall. It was hot outside, so she would have the windows open or even the air on in the house. She was dusting one of her bookshelves off when suddenly the handbook fell off the top off the bookcase and landed on the ground. "Shoot." she gets down from the chair she was standing on and goes to grab it. A paper fell out of it that read something about Ghosts and the way to bring them back for emergency purposes only.

Beetlejuice had been working on getting a legit bio-exorcist business going since he was sent back to the Neitherworld via sandworm a 5 breather years ago. He had his own office a few floors below the waiting room and a couple of shrinkers for employees. His favorite being Bob.

Bob was one of the best buddies Beetlejuice could hope for and very loyal. Bob just about did everything in the office. He runs around the office answering phones and doing paperwork at the same time. Beetlejuice watched Bob and was impressed with how much shit Bob did, so he decided to make the shrinker his 2nd in command. Of course, Bob took it right away. He enjoyed working for him and had some fun conversations.

Meanwhile Lydia keeps reading the passage in the paper she found and sees you need something that was given from a ghost to a living person in order for it to work. "The ring..." she smiles to herself; she digs through her drawer and finds the wedding ring he dropped when he was eaten by the sandworm. She had kept it. She goes and gets some candles and lights them around the room, she didn't think this all would work and was just doing it for a giggle.

She draws a circle on the floor with chalk and looks at the paper again as she places the ring inside the circle, she recites the spell

"Hands vermilion, start of 24. Bright cotillion ravens dive. Nightshades promise, spirits strive. As sudden heartbeat, pierces night. As magic wonder, mad affright. Rives asunder a ghost of the demonic pleasures and delight... arise again in the realm of the living of flesh and blood!"  the lights all flicker like crazy.

Beetlejuice was talking to Bob and started to fade. When he was solid again, he was in Lydia's room in a circle with his ex-wife's wedding ring. He said, "What the fuck?"

She backs up quickly, looking at him wide-eyed "Holy shit it actually worked?!"

Beetlejuice yelled, "What worked?!"

"You're...alive..." she picks up her small mirror and hands it to him.

Beetlejuice looks down at his hands and they are not the milky white they had been for 600 years. Takes the mirror the girl hands him and while he still has sark circles, they are normal mortal ones. He whispered, "I haven't see no this face in over 600 years. How did you? Who are you and why did you?"

"I found this paper in the handbook...I didn't think it would work, really. I'm surprised you don't know who I am, it's only been 5 years." she says, still in disbelief that the spell worked.

Beetlejuice squints at her before pulling his glasses out of his tattered suit jacket. He lifts his eyebrow in surprise when he could see her clearly. He asked, "Edgar Allen Poe's daughter? Well now that's a surprise all right. I thought ya ditched me at the altar. Though getting eaten by a fucking sandworm and no calls for 5 fucking years tends to make a guy think that!"

"Oh um...yeah I." she feels embarrassed. "That wasn't really me, that was Barbra, which has moved on with Adam... I'm alone here since my dad and Delia moved back to New York."
