im just a kid

[Pheonix791989]

Rob awoke to find the bed mostly empty, the sun outside peaking out of the dark clouds that looked like they were heading in the direction of calabassas. He felt something small grab on to him as if he was life support. Groaning, he yawned and streatched.

"daddy?"

"Hey phi."

Rob muttered almost mechanically as he smoothed out his daughters hair. He sat relishing the feeling of having his youngest full blooded daughter squeeze him in a hug like he was the only thing that mattered. Then amongst the silence it was as if a small bomb was dropped from down stairs. Rob picked up his youngest and carried her down the stairs.

"NO NO NO!"

Fox screamed at the top of her lungs. Rav gave an exasperated growl as she tried to wrestle fox back into a high chair. Rob sat Mel down in the playpen before taking a turn to wrestle with fox. Rav ripped a brush through her hair before returning to the loosing battle that rob was waging with his step daughter.

"I dont know what to do about her any more. She wont listen to anything I say!"

Rob muttered through a locked jaw as he dodged flying bits of food. Rav touched his arm lightly.

"Maybe chester could do something...."

"Rav, she's as much my daughter as his. The last thing I need is for Fox to get her hopes up and then have him come up truant and crush them. You know how he is!"

Rob snapped as Fox continued her well worn shouts of no.

"When is he suposed to come over today?"

Rav asked as Fox thrashed against Rob. HE shrugged and turned back to wresteling fox. Finally after a half hour of wresteling and arguing with her, rob gave up and flounced into the living room.

"Daddy!"

Mel squealed as she crawled towards him. He frowned as he picked her up and sat her on his lap.

"I dont know how you do it phi but its getting exasperating."

He muttered under his breath. Rob had no idea how she managed to worm her way out of a playpen or over a baby gate. He chuckeled as he bounced her on his knees. Mel squealed even louder with each bounce.

"you know you two are pretty bad."

Rob looked up to see a certaint vocalist entering his house.

"Not bad with your place here. I'm impressed lil rob."

Rob smirked at Chester before returning his attentions to his youngest daughter.

"dont you have someone else to harrass?"

Rob quipped as mel bounced on his knee and squaked angrily at chester.

"as of now no. Can I see fox?"

Rob pointed into the kitchen where rav was struggeling with fox still

[Ravynlee]

YAY!! I'm so stoked you updated that I'm (for once) at a loss for what to say. I'd pretty much convinced myself that out of the four or so 'family' stories mine was the only one left. *snuffle* Man, I'm just stoked... stoked, stoked, stoked...

Oh yeah, nice as always! :thumbsup: Just don't wanna push my luck and ask for more... *big puppy dog eyes*

 

*tackle hugs*

[Friðbjörn]

Yay finally

I'd been waiting for an update

 

 

it seems like in every story there's this underlying theme of making fun of Chester, or Chester making fun (of himself even) lol

[Pheonix791989]

lol but hey its all good more chester bashing later XD

[Ravynlee]

Yay finally

I'd been waiting for an update

 

 

it seems like in every story there's this underlying theme of making fun of Chester, or Chester making fun (of himself even) lol

Kind of a given there, Viking, he's the unofficial stepdad in a fashion for being Fox's dad. I guess in essence he's always been there... and always will be, regardless, 'eh?

XD

[Greyfoxx]

YAY UPDATE!!!! *bounces up and down*

 

erm, anyway, Chester is the DAD to Fox, and Rob is the enemy whom is trying to claim her as his own daughter, and she resists!!! Trust me....I know....cause, erm, DUH!?

 

neways, MORE DAMNIT!

 

*sits on a stool*

[Pheonix791989]

lol im getting an update tomorrow since i have loads of training to do today

[Ravynlee]

Can't wait!!! No, really... can't wait! Haha - Gimmie an update and no one gets hurt! *insert evil laughter here*

Ah, it's all good. (We need an icon/smilie wearing a backwards cap here somewhere)

[Pheonix791989]

alright here we go. thanks for helpin me brainstorm mum. i hope it turned out alright

 

Chester picked up a squealing fox who happily accepted his touch. Rob felt his temper flare but the meaningfull look from Mel supressed its flare.

"Dont look at me like that mel."

Rob warned his youngest who continued to be content sitting on her daddys lap.

"Why are you here again chester?"

Rob asked not taking his eyes of his daughter.

"I just wanted to see fox. she has half my genes after all."

"I dont need the reminder."

Rob muttered. Mel hugged him happily as she felt his scruffy little gotee against her cheek.

"Whats wrong rob, my kid too much for you to handle?"

"as a matter of fact, yes, she it."

Rav cried exasperatedly as Fox threw some food she had picked up at Rav. Rav was giving Chester the evil stare down.

"Oh come on, she cant be that bad."

"Please! If you think parent hood is that easy then you go and figure it out! I'll be over to drop her stuff off when I get home from work!"

Rob's eyebrows dissapeared into his hat. He pulled mel up into his arms and stood up almost starring down his wife.

"Rav you cant do that! Her whole life is here!"

"Just watch me do it! That child is nothing but trouble!"

Rob was taken aback at rav's sudden change in emotion.

"Rav, take a deep breath. You dont mean it."

"Yes I do!"

Chester watched helplessly as rob and rav began to argue back and forth. Rob's personality more laid back about the situation then Rav's fiery temper. Chester was even suprised. He thought Fox was definentaly doomed since he had an equally intense temper. He personally was suprised that Rob was keeping his temper over all of it.

"Rav dont you think your just jumppin the gun?"

"If you think its so easy then you deal with her!"

"Rav!"

Rob and chester said exasperatedly at the same time. Rav silenced them both with a death look.

"Fine I'll take her."

The tattooed vocalist said grudgingly as he exchanged a death look with Rav. Rob sank back down in the couch as the older male left with Fox. Rav was snipping and snapping at everyone that got in her way. Rob had set mel down. Mel had toddeled out into the middle of the room and ran into her mothers leg. Mel fell to the fround with a thump on her daiper. Rav gave rob a scathing look as if to say it was his fault for everything before turning on her heel heading out of the garage. Mel screwed her face up and started crying. this provoked her sister to start crying as well. Rob picked up a sobbing Mel and her twin sarah in his other arm and tried to pacify their cries. Mel's sobs subsided as she clutched on to her daddys shirt but Sarahs cries only got louder. Rob sighed as fribby tugged on his dads leg with a small growl. He was gonna be in for one hell of a day.

 

Rob growled as he rubbed chalk on his hands. Chester cast him a wairy glance as he streatched his arms out.

"Glaring at each other isnt going to solve anything."

A painfully thin man said as he handed the little boy who was constantly pulling at his afro to one of the techies. Rob sighed.

"I know big bad..... its just...."

"Well like, you rav and chester need to have like a sit down and like just like talk. You like keep acting like this and like letting it like build up, youre gonna like go crazy."

Rob looked at the guitarest for a moment and blinked.

"What?"

"its like you know..."

Brad muttered as he tried to think of what he wanted to say.

"How could like anyone understand that? its compleatly mental."

mike looked between Chester and Rob as if connecting an invisible line. If there was any one in the band that knew everything about anything Mike would be the one. Rob growled slightly as he twirled the sticks in his hands. Chester started walking forward to him and rob gave an even louder growl much like a gaurd dog finding an inturder.

"Your in the bubble!"

Rob growled as chester froze.

"wha....?"

"The drummers bubble is a five foot radius around the set. no one but the guitarest is alowed in the drummers bubble."

Chester held his hands up in defeat, slowly backing away like an infantry retreat or a dog that had been beaten by his master. It wasnt the time to approach rob right now, Chester decided. He was like a Tsunami, Pheonix had said, pretty chill untill you trigger him and his anger, frustration and pent up rage will blow you away like a popcicle stick house in a tornado. Chester seemed a bit afraid of the larger yet younger male. He could be just as stubborn, he was born in the cusp of aries after all. Chester cornered rob after the show. Rob wiped his face off with a towel as chester approached.

"You're being really anal about all this."

"and you're being a jackass. whats the difference?"

Rob retorted as he turned away from the vocalist. Chester angrily grabbed Robs shoulder and turned him around. Rob wasnt suprised by the look on his face but extreamly pissed.

"I have every right to know what goes on with my child..."

"your child!? You and rav are trying to upset my house while I have no say in anything! and I have no right to be anal about it?"

Rob growled at chester.

"look just because your too busy with your precious youngest daughter..."

"Dont you fucking have a go at mel!"

Dave snapped as he and the other band members were drawn into the fight.

"Dont get me started Dave! Youre just as bad as rob is about spoiling that kid..."

"Guys!"

Mike cried exasperatedly as Brad Jumped in.

"Your like not any better about fox! Think like, if fox was like blind like mel is youd be doing like the same thing!"

"oh great now the entire band is all in it! You know what I'm not gonna fucking deal with this!"

Chester snarled as Mike stepped in and tried to mediate with no headway.

"Get your damn head out of your ass you desert hick! Youre the one who fucking started it!"

Dave roared causing passers by to bolt strait up in the air.

"He's like right, Your like the cause of it and you like know it!"

"You're all fucking off your damn rockers!"

Chester said shaking his head in disbelief. He turned to walk away but was drug back by his collar by Rob. Now their hight discrepencies were compleatly noticable to have the six foot some drummer towering over the gangly vocalist.

"Dont fucking turn your back on me! We arnt finished here."

Rob growled in his low timbre.

"You want to finish this, fine..."

Chester made to punch rob square in the chest, but it barely fazed Rob who in turn cold clocked chester upside his temple, dazing him breifly. Chester tottered around in a stupified manner, trying vagely to regain his balance and thoughts.

"This is over."

Rob said calmly as if nothing happened. Once Chester regained his bearings, he made a mad dash towards rob, only to be stopped by Joe and Mike.

"You dumb ass, you want him to knock a foot and a half off of ya? youre already the shortest one as it is."

Mike asked incredicuously. Joe just laughed, unperterbed by the events and finding much humor in it. Dave and Brad gave chester a frigid look that could have frozen hell. then it felt like a rift had formed between dave, brad, rob, and chester. Mike let go of chesters arm.

"Look man, if you keep this up we're gonna have to send you back to arrizona in pieces."

"Dont fucking take his side mike!"

Mike raised his hands up signaling defeat.

"I'm not taking anyones side. I just think you and Rob need to work out things before this turns into a blood war. Now sit, chill, I'm gonna try to talk some sense to rob. I dont know why I'm trying though, He's just as stubborn as you are."

Chester snorted indignently as he rubbed his temple. It was giving him one hell of a headache. joe watched Mike go off after the other half of the band and then watched Chester go the other way. He pulled out his stuffed frog from one of his bags and hugged it to his chest.

"I personally dont want another cold war, frogie. They're all mad as a hatter."

Joe muttered to his stuffed frog before stuffing it back in its bag and he began to take apart his turntables.

[Ravynlee]

That was great! Ouch! Rob thumping Chas, poor bugger! Would have been funny to see, if only for the physical comedic element, not the emotional tension though.

But yeah - certainly makes sense. I feel sorry for Rob in this, you can feel his frustration and helplessness and ultimately his anger. It's bad enough she (Rav) cheated but think about the fact that if and when something like this happens in RL most normal couples can just kind of work through it and put it behind them, but they can't forget this let alone get over it. He's living with the constant reminder of her betrayal every day both at home and at work and has no real relief - and considering Fox isn't the easiest child to live with by the sounds of it. Man... poor Rob. *snuffle*

Very perceptive. And yeah, that definately sounds like me when I get frustrated too - I'm usually quiet until something ticks me off them I'm like a mega-bitch. Rav throwing Fox at Chas - sounds like me. But them how would Rob deal with Rav when she starts missing her baby when he can't really relate to it... hmm. Poor everyone in this.

Awesome.

And the band's involvement, and Brad's words of wisdom... that just cracked me up!

"Well like, you rav and chester need to have like a sit down and like just like talk. You like keep acting like this and like letting it like build up, youre gonna like go crazy."

Rob looked at the guitarest for a moment and blinked.

"What?"

"its like you know..."

Yeah... great stuff, as always! I want more damnit! Puhlease!

 

-Rav

[Friðbjörn]

heated arguement alright

wow

 

good stuff :thumbsup:

I like a little violence on the side

XD

[Pheonix791989]

Rob picked up Mel by her outstreatched arms as rav held fribby in her hands while Sarah

was running towards mike as he emerged from the back door.

“Rob what the hell was that? You almost killed him!”

“That desert hick deserved it.”

Rob said shortly, dismissing it as if it was nothing.

“Rob your temper is gonna chase you up a tree one of these days. Brads right it dont

matter none if you keep it botteled up you gonna kill something one day.”

Rob growled as mel squeaked quietly. Dave appeared out of the same door that Mike did.

“Uncle Phi!”

Mel squealed as she held her arms out towards the bassist.

“Your getting better phi. how’d ya know it was me.”

“You still smell the same.”

Dave chuckeled as mel hugged him hard.

“you played good. Just like daddy.”

“why thanks”

Rob smiled as Mike picked sarah up.

“Look mike, things are alright i just got wound up thats all.”

“wound up my ass.”

mike snorted as he set sarah down and gave rav a quick peck on the cheek.

“Nice to see you rav.”

“like wise mike.”

Rav was still a little flustered over the morning issues with Fox. Mike sighed things were

all discombobulated and it was a bit too wound up for his taste. He felt as if he was

playing chicken with a steel trap. Rob was stubborn and so was Rav but they both could

work it out, he knew it.

 

“well im gonna get lost.”

Mike said finally letting sarah go back to her mothers waiting arms.

“Anna said she had something she wanted to give me for our aniversery”

Rob got a mischevious look in his eyes.

“ooh mike and anna! You hear that guys uncle mike and aunt anna are gonna be kissing!”

“eww uncle mike! Your gonna get cooties!”

Fribby giggeled as he squirmed in his mothers arms.

 

“Hey Mel, Daddy wants to teach you a new game.”

“ok daddy!”

Mel said rushing to his side as rob picked her up.

“I’m gonna teach you something that’ll help you see like a real drummer.”

“awesome daddy.”

Rob set her on the floor and held her hands.

“when i clap, you clap. ok and who ever can stay in the game the longest wins. your out if

you mess up and go out of rythem. ok?”

“alright.”

Rob clapped and Mel clapped after him. rob claped once more as he was proud his

daughter caught on quickly.

[Friðbjörn]

nice :thumbsup:

 

will be interesting to see where this leads...

[Ravynlee]

Glad y'all picked this one up again - missed it. Having said that I liked the part about the clapping game. Brings back some LPTV memories... that's a game I would lose for sure (that and Red-hands... OUCH!) but yeah... sweet.

Love it. Want more as always.

Thanks.

-Rav

[Greyfoxx]

glad for the update.....that was funny wif the cooties thing! keep it up!

[Pheonix791989]

rav was tired and the whole house was silent. He had been gone for less then 3 hours on tour and things seemes so quiet.

"daddy?"

"daddy isnt here."

Mel started tearing up and crying. Rav tried to get her to quiet down. the phone rang and rav answered it exasperatedly.

"Hey rav, its Rob."

"thank god."

Rav said as she balanced the phone on her shoulder and mel in her arms.

"Hey Mel guess what, Its daddy."

"Daddy!"

"hey mel."

"where are you daddy? are you at grandmas?"

"no."

Rob said beating around the subject while the other members of the band could be heard in teh back ground. Mel took the phone and held it up, climbing up into the big stuffed arm chair that rob loved to sit in. The chordless phone was huge compared to Mel. Rav had her arms crossed, watching over mel like a hawk. after a half an hour mel finally relinquished the phone to her mother with an angry squawk.

"Your definentally your fathers daughter."

Rav said shaking her head. Mel pouted and huffed as she sank lower in her fathers chair.

[Ravynlee]

That's so sweet... yeah.

Only one big flaw with it...

 

NOT ENUFF!

 

*snuffle*

 

But wonders what Rob told Mel... ??

[Friðbjörn]

^agreed haha

 

it was nice though, especially for such a short chapter

[Greyfoxx]

awww, that was cute, BUT TOO DAMN SHORT!!
