Chapter 47

One Year Later....
It was exactly the first birthday of Mavis and Johnny's son, Dennis Dracula-Loughran. Dracula, Frank, Eunice, Wayne, Wanda, Murray, Griffin, Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Sophie, Charlotte, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred attended the baby's first birthday. Mavis placed the small birthday cake in front of baby Dennis at the table of his high chair.


"Little Dennis is a year old now. Wow!" Johnny said happily to Frank and glancing over at his son lovingly.


Baby Dennis blew a raspberry to blow out the candle while Mavis chuckled watching how cute her son blew up the candle.


"Nice, yeah. Cute kid." The little monster candle grumbled then got off the cake and started walking away.


"Okay, time for presents, guys," Mavis announced, while she took Dennis out of his high chair and carried him to a big pile of presents that was already in the possession of wolf pups.


"Aww! Baby Dennis is so cute! He makes me wanna pinch those cheeks!" Wendy squealed adorably playfully pinching at the giggling baby Dennis' cheeks.


"Alllllright! Let's do this boy up! Check out what I got 'em! Bling!" Murray cheered as he came spinning in and held up a large gold medallion with wings on it for baby Dennis.


"Wow! Are they cursed?" Wayne asked.


"Super cursed! Only the best, straight from the crypt." Murray bragged.


"Uh, he's just starting to walk so maybe it's heavier than it..." Johnny tried to stop him worriedly.


Murray placed the gold necklace around baby Dennis' neck as the baby swayed slightly taking a half step and dragged down by the weight of the medallion. Baby Dennis started to cry.


"Aww you're okay, Denisovich." Dracula reassured baby Dennis as he gently picked him up on to his loving arms.


"Uh, Drac. The boy's name is Dennis. Johnny named him after his grandfather." Alfred corrected.


"It's not his vampire name. My little Denisovichy-Weesovichy." Dracula replied in a singsong voice as he tickled the baby Dennis' little tummy and giggled.


"Huh. Are we sure he's vampire? I mean not that it's a bad thing, but shouldn't he have fangs and that pasty skin you guys have?" Melly asked.


"Technically, you have until you're five to get your vampire fangs." Wayne explained to Melly.


"Oh, he'll get his fangs. He's a Dracula." Dracula bragged with pride.


"We'll he's also half Loughran. Besides, the kid has Johnny's red hair. We think it's best if he stays back at California, if that's okay. There's more humans there." Brett suggested nervously at the Count but he made funny faces when he gave baby Dennis an action figure as a gift.


"What? Look how well he's playing with the wolf pups," Dracula exclaimed as he gently placed baby Demons on the floor.


Two werewolf pups were licking the gold medallion necklace while baby Dennis checked out the way the pups did it and started licking his action figure.


"We have a present and I hope it's acceptable." Eunice grinned as she and Frank came up to Dracula and handed him a present for baby Dennis.


"My First Guillotine. Very educational. Well played, Frank." Dracula proudly said while Frank and Eunice smiled at each other while their cheeks touched lovingly.


"It's great! Thank you. We just have to baby proof that." Mavis smiled awkwardly as she took the baby guillotine box away from Dracula and began searching through a drawer. "Johnny, do you know where you put the rubber guards?"


Johnny went to help Mavis while Eunice huffed in disbelief. "Baby proofing a guillotine? So you cut your finger off, its part of the fun." Eunice stated.


"She made me baby proof the whole hotel. Someone's overprotective." Dracula said to Eunice behind his palm in a singsong voice while carrying baby Dennis on his arms.


In the lobby, zombie bellhops were placing rubber guards on the ends of every sharp spears of the armored knights and housekeeping witches' noses. In the tunnels, Mr. Ghouligan locked a baby gate at the end of the stairs to the bottomless pit as a zombie bellhop walked lazily then fell over it into the pit. In a guest room, a pink cyclopsian creature struggle to open a baby proofed toilet and ripped it clean from the pipes but a tower of water suddenly spewed up like a geyser.


Another Year Later....
Baby Dennis quickly turned two years-old. Everything was peaceful and quiet at the hotel during an ordinary night.


"Johnny, come quick!" Mavis shouted.


Johnny ran down the hall as fast as he can but Dracula over took him in a blue mist comet and was the first one to the door.


"What's up? He's okay?" Dracula asked almost in panic.


Mavis quickly turned around with a big smile while holding baby Dennis. "Dennis said his first word!"


"He did?" Dracula asked excitedly as his eyes grew adorably wide.


"C'mon, Honey. Say it again." Mavis said as she held up baby Dennis to Dracula and encouraged him to speak.


"Blah, blah-blah," Baby Dennis cooed while Dracula's big smile turned into a deep frown that even his high collar drooped.


"I don't say 'bleh bleh bleh'" Dracula grunted still frowning.


Johnny playfully took baby Dennis from Mavis' hands and playfully kissed the baby on the cheeks allowing him to climb up on his crazy red hair.


"We didn't say that you did." Mavis grinned watching baby Dennis crawling on top of Johnny's head.


"Then where did he get it?" Dracula asked still frowning.


"Blah blah blah." Baby Dennis cooed while Johnny was carefully watching his baby.


"Well, maybe sometimes you say it," Mavis shrugged trying not to laugh.


"I only say it when I say I don't say it!" Dracula stated.


"Blah blah blah." Dennis cooed again.


"Okay, kid, we get it you can talk." Dracula sighed in annoyance while Mavis took baby Dennis from Johnny.


Dracula softened his attitude as he leaned down to check baby Dennis' mouth for fangs. No fangs were showing up.


"Dad..." Mavis caught Dracula as she pulled Dennis away from her father a little.


"Just checking for cavities." Dracula grinned and then glided out of the room as the door slammed shut.


"Blah blah blah." Mavis playfully turned to baby Dennis as she imitated Dracula.


"Blah blah blah." Baby Dennis repeated after her.


Suddenly Dracula's head zipped upside down from the ceiling and right in front of them.


"IT WAS YOU!" Dracula yelled while Mavis, Johnny and baby Dennis just shrugged innocently.
