Changing Connor ~A sequel to changing Cameron~

Chapter 11- The Color Monster And Face Falling

"So, how was the movie?", Connor asks. All of us are seated in the living room. Joseph playing with Sebastian, Aria coloring, me cuddled up to Connor, and Connor trying to make conversation.

"Um, it was okay. It was cute, I guess. Not really my type of movie", I admit. Connor looks over at me and smiles. He leans over and kisses my cheek. I turn my head and kiss his lips gently. He pulls back when Aria makes a noise.

"I accidentally colored Ariel's hair blonde!", she yells. She rips the page out of the book and rips it up. I look at Connor with total shock in my eyes. Connor gets in the floor beside her and takes the page from her.

"Aria, it's fine. Your coloring doesn't have to be perfect, it looks pretty", Connor says reassuringly. Lord Jesus in Heaven, I could listen to that voice all day. Oh wait, I get to. You don't. Haaa! Cameorn Franta- 1 Reader -0. Eat squirrel poop pigeons!

"No! You don't understand! If I don't color the page exactly how it's suppose to be, Kyle said the color monster will EAT ME", She shouts in fear. Connor turns around to look at me, as if I knew what Aria was talking about. Why would I? Oh yeah, I'm her dad.

"Why would your friend Kyle tell you that? The color monster isn't real", Connor says. Aria looks at him, not at all convinced. Connor smirks and crosses his arms. "Well, he isn't anymore".

"What do you mean?", she asks. Connor shrugs. "Daddy! Tell me! What happened to the color monster?".

"You really wanna know the story?", he asks. She nods her head eagerly. "Well, he did use to exist. A long long time ago. But! He was challenged by the color fairy. And the deal was, if Ms. Color won, the color monster would go away forever and ever. Do you wanna know what happened?". Aria nods her head again. "She beat him!". Aria cheers and claps her hands.

"So, there really isn't such thing as the color monster anymore?", she asks. Connor nods his head. "But, what happened to him? Did the color fairy kill him?". Connor thinks for a second, then shakes his head.

"He got a new job! He is to get any little boys who say that the color monster is gonna eat them. Ya better warn Kyle next time he says anything to you about it", Connor replies. Aria smiles a little then nods her head. Connor picks up the page and frowns. "I wish you hadn't have torn your paper, it was very pretty". Aria frowns.

"Hey! I have an idea!", I say, getting down in the floor with the two. "How about..hm. You color a page that has totally different colors! Like..", I pause and take the coloring book. I find Cinderella and put it back on the floor. "Color her hair anything but blonde, then color her dress anything but blue. Make it completely your own". She smiles and nods her head happily.

I stand up and go into the kitchen to get something to drink. I open the refrigerator and I feel arms wrap around my waist from behind me. I smile but continue to look for something. He starts kissing my neck gently and I bite my lip. "Connor?", I say.

"Mhm", he says, mumbling against my neck. I turn around in his arms and press my lips to his. He pulls me over to the counter and lifts me up to sit on it. He slips his tongue in my mouth and his hand slips into my shirt.

"Daddy?", a voice comes from the door. Connor gasps and pulls back from me, causing me to fall off the counter and slam face first into the floor. Aria puts a hand over her mouth and I groan.

I sit up and put a hand to my mouth, then look at it. "Daddy! You're bleeding!", Aria cries. I brush her off and Connor helps me stand. He grabs a napkin and wets it, then puts it to my mouth.

"Aria, go into the living room with your brother please. Daddy is fine, he just hit his mouth when he fell", Connor says. Aria pauses, then nods her head and runs out of the room. "Your tooth went through your lip".

I gasp and push him away from me. "What?!", I yell. He takes my hands and forces me to look at him. "My tooth is through my lip, why are you acting like it's nothing?". I feel tears sting my eyes and Connor kisses my cheek.

"Cam, calm down, baby. There's a lot of blood and you need to stop talking. But it's okay", he says, using his hush baby voice. I nod my head and allow the tears down my face. I feel like a total 3 year old. But I'm scared and it hurts so shut up.

I finally calm down and the bleeding stops. "We have to wait until the morning to go to the Dentist. It's late so let's just go to bed. You'll be fine, okay?", Connor says. I nod my head and Connor leads me to the bedroom and helps me get changed. My tooth is through my lip, I'm not dying. He puts me in bed, then goes to get the babies to bed.

By the time he comes back, I'm fast asleep in my dreams.
