“Well, I’m not sure what they thought of me since they moved away before fifth grade. Oh god, you don’t think it was because of me, do you?” She brought varnished fingers up to her lips, genuine concern reaching her features. She couldn’t help it, the feeling of remorse or the feeling that somebody might have hated her wasn’t something she took lightly, though in this instance, he was completely deserving of such revenge. “Nope, not at all” Shaking her head proudly, a smile almost glimmered across her lips as she tilted her head up to him. “Although, check back with me on that if we get a phone-call from Issy’s school saying she’s attacked somebody with a glue-stick” She warned. Almost feeling her eyes roll to the back of her head, Eddie sighed. “Well, putting it into the context of a police lineup of princes, non-Disney or otherwise, he’s gonna be the smallest one there, isn’t he? But sure, in his usual surroundings, he’s a giant” She countered, a half-smirk lifting into one corner of her mouth. “Mhm, you’re right. I like that she can do whatever she wants to do and look good doing it, it almost makes her human. As human as a doll can be anyway. She’s certainly moving with the times. Although, that pregnant doll they made years ago gave me the creeps”.
“Aw, you’re a strange kind of grown-up, aren’t you?” She cooed, reaching a hand to his cheek. Barely brushing her lips against his, she pulled back, gently admiring his face. “Mhm, that’s settled then. I promise this house will be a completely applesauce’d establishment. You can have it every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner if that’s what you want” Edmée giggled softly. “Oh come on, all babies are beautiful. I’m sure you weren’t any different. Besides, you’ve more than made up for it now” She kissed him again, a little longer this time. “I might have to bake your momma something special to soften her up into letting me see them” A smile, small and reflective sank into her lips as she tidied away her plate and curled up to his side. “Of course. I think she’d have licked the plate if I let her”.
Cal couldn’t help but grin at the genuine concern on his wife’s face. “Baby, I’m sure his dad just got a job somewhere else, or his mom had to move to help with a sick relative or something,” he said. “I bet he still has all his hair and everything. Though, of course, it’s not as nice as mine.” He grinned at her again. He laughed. “Would I be a bad parent if I thought it was funny as hell if she attacked somebody with a glue stick? As long as there was a good cause, of course. I don’t think she should go around just going ham with a glue stick. Even if that would be a little funny, too.” He pouted slightly. “That’s not fair! It’s like they say, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’s always gonna feel stupid. Or short, in this case. Poor -- what’s his name? Kristoff? No, wait, that’s the Hulk Hogan guy from Frozen.” He made a little face. “Yeah, the pregnant doll was creepy. I’ve thought baby dolls were weird enough.”
He nodded thoughtfully at her words. “Pretty strange,” he agreed amicably, grinning and leaning into her touch. “All applesauce, all the time. My doctors will probably be pretty scared for me.” He snorted and shook his head. “All babies are not beautiful. I was not a beautiful baby. I’ll show you baby pictures if I have to, but I don’t want to go that far because you won’t look at me the same, I want you to love me and think I’m handsome.” He smiled into the kiss, one hand settling in the curve of her neck. “I bet you were the prettiest baby in the world. Thank god Issy looks just like you.” He smiled and draped his arm around her. “Well, I’ve got a few other recipes up my sleeve.”
