Hey, hey, hey!
Three Fairies and a Baby
by GoWiSt
“We can’t have a baby,” Flex said resolutely, fixing his eyelashes.
“I want a baby!” Fabio pouted, stomping a foot.
“But we’re always on the road,” Felix pointed out, applying his mascara. “How would we care for it?”
“A traveling nurse?” Fabio eagerly offered. “You know we can afford it. A baby would be so cute!”
Pausing from his eye preening, Flex scoffed. “Imagine that--‘The Fairies’ with a baby, on non-stop shows. Ridiculous, it just wouldn’t work.”
Fabio angrily ruffled his wig then tore it off his head. “I want a baby!” he screamed. “Let’s vote!”
They did. It was 2-to-1 against Fabio. So, they adopted a baby—because it was Fabio, and he’d not stop giving them hell until they did.
It was a girl. Flex wanted to name her Amber. Felix liked Chantelle. So, they went with Betty-Belle—BeBe, for short—‘cause that’s what Fabio chose.
It was agreed that BeBe would primarily be Fabio’s responsibility.
Despite hiring an excellent nurse, with the constant crying, sleepless nights, incessant poop-cleanings and general 24-7 attention involved, Fabio decided to put BeBe in a private home, where she’d be cared for by surrogate parents.
The group, mostly to please and help-out Fabio, would pay $5,000 a month for BeBe’s upkeep and try to visit her as often as they could.
“I want a doggie!” Fabio cried out, six months later. “A cute Pomeranian or Pembroke Welsh Corgi.”
“I want a gun!” Felix said, glaring menacingly at Fabio. “A cute, big gun!”
“Way ahead of you,” Flex said, brandishing and cocking a shotgun.
There was no more talk of cute doggies—or cute anything else.
