Chapter Text
“I do,” they said in unison, it wasn't ok, even disgusting but everything for getting the green-haired demon out of their lives, as soon as they finished the phrase a light made the dead born to come to life and now it was time to end his just given life.
Lydia quickly took the piece of bad art before the demon had a chance to stand up, she turned ready to put the plan in action, and… is that a baby?
“oh no…” Barbara said at the moment she saw a very dirty baby on the floor of the house
Lydia drops the bad art and stares in shock at the baby trying to disseminate her laugh, how things turn out was just hilarious in her eyes ¿does BJ even know this was going to happen? ¿was she now married with a baby? it's still illegal but was pretty weird
“Is he…” Charles tried to speak but none of them could process what was going on here
Adam and Barbara both were trying to process while Delia just sear a way to get her fiance back to earth
“I’m married to a baby” Lydia whispers trying to make sense
At all of this the baby BJ was just looking around, he seems 1-2 years old, not even old enough to take care of himself
, Lydia tried to move closer but Charles put his arm in front of her
“Lydia don't get closer”
“What? why?” she change her glace from her dad to little BJ “he's just a baby,” she said trying not to laugh about her best friend, even if he tried to come back to life by marrying her and even tried to kill her family because she went away he still was the reason she keep breathing in this world and still consider him a friend in some way
“It's just a trick,” Charles said as if he knew this for a fact
“Charles…” Delia began “I don't think so” she got closer to the baby and kneeled to take a closer look, baby BJ just got curious about her and stared at Delia.
Charles let his arm down and Lydia went to get her friend? husband? demon? At this point, she decided to let things how they were before the whole “get married to be alive” thing.
Charles tense as Lydia picked bj baby up it was just the fear of the older man because technically now he was a human (a small one).
“What's the plan now?” Delia asked trying to keep the situation going, even if they wanted they couldn't stay in shock the rest of their life, and something had to be done with the baby they couldn't kill him but re-raising him was not even a good idea.
Adam and Barbara offer to help start cleaning all the mess that the whole situation had created and Charles seems to still think “Lydia would you please take the baby upstairs?” he finally asks after his shock, Lydia nod not having anything better to do by the moment and do what her father had asked
-
The adults finished the small cleaning without a word after that. There you had all four of them discussed at the table what to do with a baby in the house but most important a baby Beetlejuice in the house.
“Charles, he isn't old enough to even talk!” Delia tried once again to convince her partner who was decided to let the kid by his luck on the streets
“Still being that stupid demon” Charles keeps trying to dissimulate his hate
“I’m with Delia in this one,” Barbara said after seeing the conversation between the two living adults was going nowhere. “If we take care of him the demon we meet would not exist anymore, like, re-built him?” She offer hoping this would be ok with the Deetz adults and Charles hate for the one individual the baby had been
It was late, too late for being in the middle of an argument, maybe that had helped with Charles finally agreeing on letting the baby stay in the house even if he wasn’t really happy with it.
“Fine…” He finally decides to give an end to the argument, all four adults make their wayfinding somewhere to sleep, thanks to the fact that the house was still a mess there wasn't room ( except for Lydia’s of course)
