"Lydia are you ready?" I shout toward the stairs. " Coming mommy" my 4 year old responds. I grab hold of her candy bucket as my husband's arms snake around my waste.
  " How are you feeling?" He ask, referring to the upset stomach that I've had the past few days.
" Better" I respond, turning to face him. "J, I have something to tell you" he hums in response, urging me to continue. As I open my mouth, we hear our daughter thump down the stairs,
" I'm mister oogie boogie man" she sings the song that matches her costume, as she makes her way to us.

" Oh, you look pretty Sally,..... I mean mommy" she says, as I hand her the candy bucket. Jinxx clears his throat,gaining both our attentions.  Lydia shrieks cutely at her dad's impeccable Jack makeup, and I notice he's looking at me, curiously waiting for me to continue our conversation.

" It can wait" I say, laughing as Lydia grabs both our hands. " Let's go!" She shouts headed out the door.

We've walked a few blocks from our house and Lydia is having a blast. Jinxx and I are walking hand in hand behind her, as I have her heavy candy bucket in my other hand.
" Can I go by myself?" She ask, pointing toward another house. I look at Jinxx, who only nods.
" Go on, remember to say thank you." I instruct her. " Yes ma'am" she answers, already headed to the door.
Jinxx turns to me, pulling me into his arms. " What did you want to tell me? It's driving me nuts" he says, causing a chuckle to escape my lips. I lean in toward his ear before answering him. " How would you like another little rebel?" I ask, backing away to catch his reaction. It takes awhile to register, but when I does, he is all smiles " you're...?" I nod before he can finish the question. He quickly pulls me back into a hug, adding a sweet kiss. But it's quickly interrupted by a loud cry.
" Mommy"
We both turn to see Lydia running to us, tears covering her face. " What happened,sweetie?" I ask, bending down to scoop her into my arms" Sc...Sc....scary boy" she stutters out, through her tears. I look over, where she is pointing and notice the child dressed as Chucky, running off to the next house.
" Oh, it's okay, babydoll" jinxx chimes in, rubbing her back smoothly." He's not gonna hurt you, I won't let him." He continues to calm her, as we walk away from the house.
"Why don't we head home  ,okay?" I ask, still holding her. She only nods against my neck. " Hey, we can watch your movie" Jinxx states, knowing how she'll react. " Yeeaaahhh!!" She squeaks into my ear. And we continue walking home, singing
