Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. (Hearty)

Jaxx was standing at the bottom of the stairs, one hand rubbing his face. Charlie had become such a handful so quickly. Her mind was on boys already? No, he couldn't take that, "All of your dresses are pretty, Charlie," he tried to convince her.

Kai, the object of Charlie's eye, was in the kitchen, humming as he made himself a snack. He was aware of the young vampire's crush, but he didn't realize how serious it was. He saw it as something that would pass. Little girls had crushes all the time.

"They make me look ugly!" she shouted, throwing a hanger and having it bounce off the back of Jaxx's head.

Minhyun groaned and fell onto his side, burying his face in a pillow and screaming his guts out in order to relieve his stress.

Minhyun let out a frustrated sigh and plopped on the couch, closing his eyes and leaning his head back against the couch. Charlotte had grown several years in only the past few days, and it was starting to worry him to no end. And seeing as she kept on changing her mind about what she liked and what she didn't like, it became a stressful part on his end.

"Mom, I hate this!" Charlie screamed as she threw another dress down the stairs and it hit his head with a boing! of the hanger.

Yep. Being a parent sucked ass.

Charlotte had unofficially turned ten that morning, and already she was starting to worry about what boys thought of her.

Or more terrifying: what Kai thought of her.

Jaxx and he had tried to console Charlotte and let her in on a gentle reality check that 'honey, Kai just... he isn't right for you'. But alas, she wouldn't give in that easily. She had Minhyun's stubborn attitude, and Jaxx's manipulative voice. She would try as hard as she could to win Kai's attentions.

Even though it most likely wouldn't work.
