Baby Maitlands (A Beetlejuice: the Musical Fanfiction)

A Little Assistance Needed

Delia placed the tired toddler version of Barbara down into the twin bed that Lydia and Betelgeuse bought earlier, the latter's baby Blue eyes opening and closing as she lay down on her back and began to snore quietly. Charles carefully placed the toddler version of Adam down next to toddler Barbara and Adam fell asleep almost immediately as well, holding tightly onto Barbara.

The Deetz couple moved over to the couch, sitting down next to Lydia and Betelgeuse. With both the toddler versions of Adam and Barbara fast asleep, Lydia, Betelgeuse, Charles, and Delia could talk amongst themselves about how to take care of the two ghost toddlers until they could figure out a way to return them to normal.

"So," Charles spoke up after a few minutes of silence shared between the four of them. "Explain to me how all of this happened..."

"Well." Betelgeuse nervously looked to the side. "Let's just say I lashed out at Lydia, lost control of my powers, and accidentally turned Adam and Barbara into toddler versions of themselves."

"You turned Adam and Barbara into toddlers because you lashed out at Lydia?" Charles sounded confused, cocking his head to the side.

"Yeah." Betelgeuse sounded...nervous.

At least, that was what Delia could tell from the tone present in the demon's voice. Lydia too, but she could hear a little confusion in there as well. Charles, on the other hand, couldn't quite catch the nervousness or confusion coming from the demon's voice. He could hear a bit of worry in there though.

"They weren't too much trouble as toddlers, right?" The tone in Delia's voice was worrisome.

Betelgeuse and Lydia looked at one another. How were they going to explain to the Deetzes exactly how much trouble the toddler version of Adam had gotten himself in just that one singular day.

Charles and Delia already knew that Barbara had thrown Delia's precious Crystal lamp directly at Betelgeuse with no given explanation. Who knew how they were going to react when they found out about the amount of trouble caused by the toddler version of Adam.

"Let's just say we're going to need a little assistance when it comes to taking care of Adam," an equally nervous Lydia and Betelgeuse unisoned.
