FAMILY / duncney

ok so the picture at the top is what I imagine Andrew and Mac would look like (you'll know who I'm talking about when you finish the chapter) I found some pictures on google and made this so yeah this is what they look like :)

"Can you move your elbow?" Aspyn yelled at her brother.

"No." He simply replied.

"I tried to be nice, but-" she pinched on the skin on her brothers hand and he let out a shriek.

"Kids could you please, shut up? I'm trying to focus on the road." Duncan barked at the twins.

They looked at each other before they both stuck their tongues out at eachother.

"Why do I always get crammed in the middle?" Alex complained leaning on to the console in between the driver and passenger seat.

"Because your always the last one in, so you don't get to choose where you sit." Aspyn argued.

"Nobody was talking to you, tomato face." Alex directed. Aspyn rolled her eyes at the insult. He always called her tomato face. Why? Because she would blush every time she saw Eddy causing her face to resemble a bright red tomato. So of course, being the absolute jerk of a brother he is, had to make fun of her for that. And so the nickname tomato face was born.

"Um, well you didn't specifically address who you were asking, so technically, you were asking everybody that is present." Aspyn corrected him feeling confident.

"Blah blah was all I heard. You know I don't understand your nerdy talk." He fired back.

"Oh sorry, I forgot how arrogant you really are. My bad." She challenged.

"Oh yeah?-" Alex started but his mom cut him off, "that's it! If I hear one more word come out of either one of your mouths, I swear I will-" she stopped.

After that, they were both quiet until Susie, who had been quiet during the previous 15 minutes of the car ride, pulled up the question, "mommy, daddy, where do babies come from?"

The car went ever more silent then it already was. Alex and Aspyn couldn't help but let out small giggles. Since they were both 14, they've already had been given the talk and learned a few things at school.

Courtney and Duncan both gave them glares from the rear view mirror. Susie spoke up again, "so? I asked a question.."

Duncan and Courtney both knew it was too early. They remained silent not knowing what to say.

Alex took this silence and lack of words from his parents to his advantage. He decided to have a little fun with this. He began to speak, "you see, little sis. When two people get married...they love each other very much."

Susie nodded, following along. Aspyn, Courtney and Duncan were all curious to see where Alex was going with this.

"So...they call none other than Mr Baby." Alex continued. Duncan looked at his son like he was begging him to just shut up.

Once he saw his dad's expression Alex smirked and Aspyn crushed his foot with hers. He ignored them and went on to say, "they tell him how the baby will look like, what the name will be and if they want a boy or a girl or both. And Mr Baby will wait 9 months before sending the baby to the parents along with a birth certificate. And the parents will pay a certain price to Mr Baby. The price is different depending on the baby." He finally finishes raising both of his eyebrows, feeling proud of the made up story he created.

"Mr Baby?" Susie asked and Alex nodded, "I'm six, not stupid."

"Fine. Don't believe me...your the one that asked the question." Alex shrugs. Susie stays quiet struggling to decide if she should believe her brother or not.
