Perfect Family - Halloween Day
Heyy Omelia-Fans :-) I hope you all are doing well! Here's a new fanfiction about the Omelia-Family. I had to write this on my phone, so I’m sorry, if the layout is a little strange. But I hope you'll like it!
„Good Morning.“, Owen greeted Leo, when he showed up in the kitchen. „Morning dad.“, his son answered and yawned. „I made French toast.“, Owen winked at him and Leo grabbed his plate immediately. He loved his dad‘s French toast, but often Owen didn‘t have the time to prepare it. But today was Halloween and Owen and Amelia didn’t have to go to work and also the kids were at home. So they would have the whole day together. They had decided to carve pumpkins and in the evening Meredith and Maggie would come for dinner.
Since Owen knew that Amelia and Evie would get up late,he and Leo had their breakfast together. And as he had suspected, Amelia entered the kitchen at 11am with Evie in her arms. „Look who‘s here.“, Owen teased them but earned an evil eye from his daughter. „Okay, we’re not in a good mood today. At least your evil face goes well with Halloween.“, he noticed, but his daughter didn’t answer. Amelia put her on her chair, where she rested her head on her hands rebelliously. „I slammed the door accidentally and she woke up.“, Amelia explained. „Oh that was that noise.“, Owen replied and laughed a little, „I thought Poltergeist would have payed us a visit.“ But it explained Evie’s behavior. She was really grumpy when she was woken up. When she had to go to the kindergarten, that was a big problem, because Owen and Amelia didn’t have the time for her complaining. But today they were able to cheer her up with Owen‘s French toast. „Why can’t you make it every morning?“, Amelia asked her husband. Owen raised his eyebrows and grinned. „If you want me to get up at 4 every morning. But then I won’t be available at night.“, he whispered into her ear. Amelia tilted her head. „Convinced.“, she said, „Don’t make the French toast.“ Owen laughed. „Then you can enjoy this all the more.“, he winked.
„Soo... are you ready to carve pumpkins for Halloween?“, Amelia asked when the breakfast table was cleaned up. „Yes!“, Leo and Evie answered excited. „Okay, I’ll get the pumpkins.“, Owen said. 2 minutes later he came back with two big pumpkins and put them on the table. „So I would say that I help Evie and you Leo?“, Amelia proposed. „Yes, come here daddy.“, Leo called to him. „Let’s compete. The team, which finishes the pumpkin first, wins.“, Evie suggested. „Okay. Come on Leo we’re gonna do this!“, Owen said. Amelia raised her eyebrow and looked at Evie. „They think they’re going to win, but they’re so wrong“, she smirked and Evie nodded affirmatively. They started to hollow out the pumpkin and when Owen and Leo finished, Owen grabbed a knife. „Wait, we wanted to use this knife.“, Amelia stopped him. „What, why?“, Owen replied. „Because it’s the best one for this.“, Amelia said and folded her arms. „That’s not true, we have thousands of other good knives.“, Owen stated. „Fine, then give it to me. You can take another knife.“, Amelia said and held her hand out. „Don’t be childish.“, Owen answered and began to carve a mouth into the pumpkin. „Ha, you know that this is the best knife and you took it, so that you can win! That’s so unfair!“, Amelia complained. „I think that you just want to distract me and Leo!“, Owen countered annoyed. „Mommy, we don’t need this knife, let’s continue.“, Evie said, which made Owen laugh. „And I thought that Evie was the most stubborn member of this family.“ Reluctantly, Amelia gave in and took another knife.
„Daddy, I messed up the eye!“, Leo told Owen. „Oh, let’s see what we can do.“, Owen said and helped his son. „Now he looks really wicked, but it’s Halloween, right?“, he stated after they had corrected the eye. „We can name him Jafar. Like the villain in Aladdin.“, Leo answered. Meanwhile, Amelia and Evie finished the mouth of their pumpkin face. „We need a name, too.“, Evie said then. „Yeah, but let’s finish the face first. We want to win, right?“, Amelia replied and Evie nodded. But in this moment she didn’t look at the knife in her hand and cut her finger. When she saw the blood, she began to cry immediately. „Oh no, let me see.“, Amelia said and examined her daughter’s finger. Also Owen stopped to carve the pumpkin. „It‘s okay, it’s not a deep cut.“, Amelia tried to calm her down. „It hurts.“, Evie sobbed. Amelia stroked her head. „I know... it will pass soon.“ „I‘m gonna get a patch for you. With unicorns, who will make the pain disappear.“, Owen said compassionately and rushed to the bathroom. He came back after a few seconds and put the patch on Evie‘s finger. „Is it better now?“, he asked and Evie nodded. „Can we continue?“, she said then. Owen and Amelia smiled. „Of course.“ „But you have to carve the pumpkin, mommy.“, Evie instructed her mother, who nodded. She grabbed Owen‘s knife on the other side of the table. „I should’ve known this!“, Owen said amused and shook his head. „Hey, don’t complain, you two have almost finished your face!“, Amelia said. „Fine. You know that we will win. You cannot catch up with us.“, Owen grinned. „We’ll see.“, Amelia answered.
„Done!“, Leo exclaimed after some minutes. Amelia raised her head and looked at the Owen’s and Leo’s pumpkin face. She grimaced and continued with Evie‘s and her pumpkin. „What?!“, Owen asked. „I didn’t say anything.“, Amelia answered.
„You made a face.“, he replied.
„It’s Jafar.“, Leo said proudly.
„You are distracting me!“, Amelia rolled her eyes. „But...we’re...Done!“, she added while she made the last cut. „Show me.“, Leo said and Amelia turned the pumpkin around. „He doesn’t look that evil.“, Leo noticed. „It’s a her.“, Evie corrected him. „She looks...great.“, Owen admitted. „Made by the hands of a neurosurgeon. No surprise.“, Amelia stated folding her arms. „But we won anyway. We were faster.“, Owen said and smirked. „Let’s say both teams won. Our face was more difficult.“ , Amelia suggested. „You just can’t lose.“, Owen replied amused. Amelia pouted her lips and stood up. „I’m gonna get two candles for the pumpkins.“, she said. „Can I light them?“, Leo asked. „Okay but be careful.“, Amelia answered. When the candles were lit, Owen turned off the lights and the two bright pumpkin faces stared at them. „Wow“, Evie said. „We did a good job.“, Amelia smiled and Owen sidled up to her. „They fit together well.“, he noticed. „Let’s put them outside.“, Leo said. „Alright. And then I have to set the table for the dinner.“, Amelia stated. Fortunately she didn’t have to cook, because that was Maggie’s task. When everything was prepared for the evening, they waited for Meredith and Maggie to come. Punctually at 7pm the doorbell rang and Leo and Evie rushed to the door to open it. „Auntie Meredith, auntie Maggie!“, they exclaimed. „Hello“, they greeted them back. „Who made this pumpkins, they look great!“, Meredith asked. „We did them all together“, Leo said proudly. „Come in.“, Amelia said and Maggie put the dinner on the table. „Are you ready for spider-burgers and mummy-meatballs?“, she asked. The kids grimaced but nodded. „I’m starving.“, Owen said, „let’s eat.“
After everyone had finished his dinner and a lot of scary stories had been told, it was time for Leo and Evie to go to bed. Also Maggie and Meredith wanted to get home, so they said goodbye.
„I want to sleep in your bed.“, Evie said to her parents. „Sweetie, you know that we have to get up early tomorrow...“, Owen replied. „But what if a wicked Witch or a ghost comes into my room.“, Evie insisted. „They won’t.“, Amelia told her, but her daughter wasn’t convinced. „You can sleep in my bed. I’ll protect you!“, Leo offered her and Evie nodded. „Fine. Let’s go and get ready for bed.“, Amelia said. When Evie and Leo laid in Leo’s bed, Owen and Amelia came in. „Have you brushed your teeth, are yourpajamas on?“, Amelia asked. Leo and Evie nodded. „Very good. We love you both!“ „We love you too!“, the kids answered. Then Amelia gave them a kiss on their foreheads and Owen whispered: „Sleep well. And don’t forget to check the room for monsters.
