Chapter 37
"Nah you don't have to worry about me and my gun" she winked and went to the stairs to call the kids.
"Uhh, really want her to have a gun?" Lumician asked dumbfounded.
"You know what? Remind me to have someone look out for her than to hand her a gun" Lumic side noted and took out the box of orange juice at the fridge.
"Agreed on that one" nodding his head he went to his seat and carefully plop down.
"Speaking of agreement, what happened to the papers?" Lumic asked when he returned from the fridge- I know he went inside.
"Oh, burned them all at hell" staring intently at Lumician, Lumic can't somehow find it if his brother was joking or speaking the truth.
"I'm kidding bro, of course they are done" rolling his eyes he would never do that to that important papers- even if he did got tempted at some point; Lumic would skin him alive if he does such thing.
"Good" he breath out a relief.
"God you almost got me hyperventilating" shaking his head, Lumician suddenly remembered something.
"About that" he started, bullet of sweats were now forming on his forehead as he remembered who was coming home.
"He's coming home" clearing his throat he was thinking of making Lumic his bait, but for the love of chickens he could really not do that to his brother.
"Who's coming home?" he asked with an eye brow raised.
". . . . Zacker is" he replied in a hushed tone, leaning forward on the table Lumic can not somehow be able to think straight.
"He's finally coming home ey" he stated in a very serious face.
"Lum I don't want to be at home with him, he'll mushed me up" Lumician begged.
"So what you trying to say?" he glanced at Lumician, not going to lie but Lumic too was kind of freaking out to hear this Zacker coming home.
"Let me stay here too" he begged, his hands clasped together trying to budge Lumic. But before Lumic could even reply Josh and Ran came running from where they came from.
"We'll talk about this later" nodding his head in approval, they don't really want the kids to know that another uncle would be coming home; an obsessed one that is.
"Have you two washed your hands?" the twins asked simultaneously.
"Yes sir" the two sing song and jerked their thumb upwards.
"Good" Lumic added.
"Where's Victoria?" Lumician asked the two kids, glancing at the back to see if she would to pop up anytime soon.
"She got a call from her friend, she said to eat first and that she'll catch up" Ran stated, while he and Josh eyed the pieces of chicken and pork at the table, glancing to where they were both looking out Lumic cleared his throat and gained the kids attention.
"The vegetables as well" glancing at where the veggies could be found, Josh and Ran made a nervous face and gulped down.
"Sounds tempting dad but, we'll stick with the meats" Josh reasoned out, chuckling nervously.
"No" Lumic disagreed, not liking that they won't eat vegetables.
"I agree with the kids Lum" Lumician wiggled his eye brows to his brother to give in, but alas, his wiggling didn't affect the man at all.
"You too Lumician, vegetables" Lumic pressed on, and knowing that Lumic would always find a way to win the three only slouched and frown.
"What in actual-?" Victoria's voice sounded out.
"What happened? Why the frown?" she asked sitting down and looking at them one by one.
"Dad wants us to eat the veggies" Josh pouted and gave Victoria the puppy eyes.
"I- I don't mind" Ran squeaked, even if he doesn't like veggies he'll try and eat some.
"And dad is right, you three should eat veggies" Victoria agreed.
"Wait, which dad?" she asked glancing from Lumic to Lumician.
"That dad" both said and pointed at Lumic.
"Ah I see" nodding her head.
"But, official dad agrees to not eat the veggies" Josh hugged Lumician who was sitting right next to him.
"Just cause unofficial dad- lumician; agrees doesn't mean you shouldn't eat veggies" Victoria pressed on.
"Now let's eat" she said dropping the veggie war.
Picking up foods here and there the family ate peacefully- yeah same as always no; Josh being persistent of not getting veggies and Lumician persisting that kids- as well as he; can eat what ever they want to eat.
"Lum!" Lumician argued.
"Lumician!" and there they both go and have this glaring contest, Victoria and Ran on the other hand was just staring at them and eating peacefully.
"Want some mayo and ketchup with that Ran?" Victoria asked.
"Mm" nodding his head and shoving a small piece of cabbage in his mouth.
Standing up and going to the kitchen to grab the mayonnaise and ketchup, Victoria hummed a song as she takes it out, going back to the dining area there she finds the two now rolled up at the floor grabbing hairs.
Her eye brows creased as she eyed the two, carefully passing by them she silently went to her seat and pass the two seasonings to Ran.
"What happened to them?" Victoria asked as she cut a piece of the meat and shove it in her mouth.
"It just happened" glancing back to the two they were now panting and grabbing each others cheek and hair.
"Girls" Victoria and Ran stated and rolled their eyes at them.
"GO DAD! DADDY LUMICIAN! YOU CAN BEAT HIM" Josh shouted from the table, encouraging the guy, abruptly standing up from his seat Ran looked at them and shouted as well.
"GO DAD! DADDY LUMIC! BEAT DADDY LUMICIAN'S BUTT" Ran encourages as well, hearing what Ran shouted Josh glared at his brother and gritted his teeth.
"DADDY LUMICIAN! BEAT DADDY LUMIC TO A PULP"
"DADDY LUMIC! KICK DADDY LUMICIAN'S BUTT"
Face palming, 'Now the kids are at it too' shaking her head Victoria can't believe that the two idiots really influenced the kids badly. 'Oh dear' she groaned at the thought of having two Lumic and Lumician running around the house.
"A disaster" she whispered, standing up from her seat she went to the two panting girls and smacked their heads.
"Ooohhh" Ran and Josh pitied the two man as they got smacked.
"And you two!" stiffening and eyes growing they saluted and whispered a 'Yes ma'am'.
"Stop encouraging this two idiotic men, go back to eating" with that said, the two slid down to their seat and started to eat again.
"Go back to your seats, now" Victoria gritted her teeth and glared at the two shaking men.
"Yes ma'am" they stuttered and went back to the table.
Shaking her head, 'And here I thought Lumic was the sane one' sighing she can't help but think that they really are brothers.
"Oh! I almost forgot" Lumic called out, going back to her seat all eyes were now on Lumic whose hair is everywhere.
"Yeah?" they all said simultaneously.
"Next week will be the last week that I will be here" shoving some meat into his mouth, he chewed it thoroughly and eyed them all.
"What do you mean?" Ran asked.
"I will be staying at a country for three months maybe" he answered with a serious business face.
"What?" Victoria questioned her eye brows creasing and patience running low.
"You mean to say that after the kids' Family Bond, you'll be flying to some place?" she asked.
"Yes" he answered as he chewed his last piece of food in his mouth.
"Who'll be staying here with us then? Who will cook for us? Mom can't cook" Josh asked, sniffling and ready to cry about the thought of Lumic leaving, there'll be no one to cook for them anymore.
"Hey no need to cry bright sky" Lumician cooed at the young boy.
"Of course there is" he wailed and started to cry.
"Why's that?" he asked, all eyes were now at the crying boy.
"Because" he hiccupped.
"There'll be no one to cook our meals, and that mom can't cook"
"Goddamn" Victoria and Lumic whispered and face palmed.
"Oh, is that what you're worried about?" Lumician internally sweat dropped.
"Yes" he sniffled and tried to wipe his tears away.
"And here I thought it'd be a tearful good bye, guess it's just a comedy" Victoria scratched her head and sighed.
"Don't worry about that Josh" Lumic tried not to fume and be offended by what the boy said.
"Lumician would be staying here, and he KNOWS how to cook" Lumic stated trying not to twitch his eye brows in anger or somewhat.
"Well aside from that, any other things to point out?" he cleared his throat and breathes in.
"Well" Victoria smirked under her innocent smile as she looks at Lumician.
"You know what that means" she stated while wiggling her eye brows, upon realizing what she meant the kids beamed and as well as Lumician.
"I also want Lucas here with us" she ordered Lumic with a straight face, groaning he knows he can't say no to her.
"Fine of course, I can't just leave my son out there" he defended that he was planning on letting Lucas stay at the house.
"Good, now finish up your meals and off to bed" Victoria clasped her hands together and smiled brightly.
"Yes ma'am" the kids beamed excitedly while the other two adult men just shrug.
"Of course they'll be happy that I'll be out of town" Lumic mumbled really not liking the fact that he was the reason why they are all behaved- well except for the brunette that is.
Minutes gone by the kids were now helping on cleaning the table while Lumician was the one washing the dishes, Victoria and Lumic were left at the table discussing some other things that they well would soon find out- well except the kids that is.
"You're still going to give me a gun right?" she pressed on, sweat dropping Lumic was reluctant of whether to give her one or not, 'God! Who knows what she'll do' he whimpered at his own thought.
"Well" he thought for a moment trying not to say yes and as well as trying not to say no.
"Cause if you won't give me one I wouldn't mind one bit" she batted her eyelashes at him, making Lumic look at Victoria weirdly.
"What?" he asked.
"I wouldn't mind getting shot and have nothing to at least counter the person oh well" she stated with a sigh trying to see if her magic would work on him.
"Oh don't worry about that you won't" Lumic stated easily and proudly really not getting what she was doing.
"What?" she deadpanned, her eyes looking bored and of course our dear Lumic did not get that at all.
"I'll have some men watching out for your safety" he stated easily.
"And you'll be wearing bulletproof vests so no need to worry getting hit at the chest and back area" he continued really not at all bothered by Victoria's gaze.
"Whoa whoa whoa" she finally got up and hovered up on Lumic.
"That is not how it's supposed to go" she slammed her right hand on Lumic's side.
"You're supposed to feel guilty and hand me one" she furrowed her eye brows and straight up look at Lumic's eyes, cowering on his seat he gulped hard and put his arms between them.
"Well-" he stammered trying to negotiate to the girl.
"Um" three people stood there watching their interactions.
"Are we somehow interrupting something?" Levy asked trying not look away.
"We could come back later" Edward stated pointing out.
"Damn, bottom" Stephen whispered looking at Lumic while snickering.
'You're just in time" Victoria grinned evilly, gulping and frozen on the spot the three didn't know what is about to happen to them.
"Well uh- Now seat" Victoria demanded.
"Anyone who disagrees will totally get a beating with this" she stated as they were all now seated down, she stood before them crossing her arms and glaring daggers.
"Who agrees with me having to hold a gun" she stated directly without beating around the bush, seconds passed somehow the three were speechless.
"Come again?" Edward asked trying to see if heard her clearly.
"A gun, who agrees with me having or handling a gun" she stated once again with a booming voice.
"I think my ears just popped, I could not hear well" Levy commented.
"Oh God, I think I need an ear check" Stephen tried to pick his ears to see if there were any earwax that prevented him from hearing.
"Seriously?"
