The Family

"You could start doing the paper work.. usually only takes about an hour. And you can do cool things with god as you dad.. unfortunately if you don't know what religion he is.. you have to make sure the other religious gods don't claim the right over him for smiting a person." Chuck said. "So you could smith someone you know who is either Jewish or Christian."

"Oh really? What kind of cool things?" Lari asked skeptically. "And paperwork? Do you honestly trust me with paper?"

"No.. but I do trust the pen that I gave you when you had a kid." Chuck said as he handed a pen to Lari. "It will start filling out the paperwork on its own with a snap of your fingers.. or a slap whichever is easier. That my dear is one of the oddly useful things that you can use as the daughter of god." he said

"Oh...that's pretty amazing," Lari said as she snapped her fingers, and the pen sprang to life. "Wow..." she said as she watched the pen in awe.

"Yeah.. how else did you think I got all that school paper work that you're schools send home every year?" Chuck asked as he summoned up a plant.

"Oh yeah.. and you can summon plants that produce any type of food or drink." he said as the plant produced a slice of pizza and a coke.

"That's pretty trippy," Lari smiled as she continued to watch the pen. "Are you sure I'm not high or some other cool shit?"

"Well considering they took you off the IV drip for pain meds for the labor about a few hours ago, yes I'm sure that you aren't high or on any other medication trip." Chuck said looking at Lari

"Cool. Wait, what? They took me off the drugs?" Lari asked sharply.

"Yes.. but as my daughter you didn't feel anything cause you just starting to make your own pain drug. Yet another thing about being god, you can just start making your own meds and automatically be put into your body." Chuck said

"So I can get high with absolutely nothing?" Lari grinned.

"Yes, you can.. and being a god.. suffer no ill side affects. However it starts to get boring after awhile.. trust me I know about it. I use to do it all the time." Chuck said

"You were a stoner? Yeah right!" Lari snickered at the thought.

"Well it isn't something I'm proud about. No one could tell anyway cause we are able to mask it so we don't look or even act like we are high, but get to feel the great and wonderful effects that many of the drugs normally would cause." Chuck said with a sigh as he drank his coke.

"That sounds like fun," Lari grinned, her eyes lighting up. "I can get high whenever and no one would know!"

"Except me.. and I have no problem with you doing it.. as long as you are in the house when you do, and not around your baby. I hope you realize that you still have a child to take care of and that I can still remove your god like status." Chuck said not wanting his daughter to forget about her daughter.

"Yeah, I know," Lari said absentmindedly.

"Lari, I will yank it from you now if you don't get off the trip you are on right now." Chuck said knowing his daughter was starting to get herself high on her own drugs

Lari sighed, "Fine. Killjoy," she glared at her dad. "You tell me I have all these cool powers and then I can't use them? What the hell?"

"You can use them, I just don't want you to be using them while you are suppose to be caring for a child and while your husband is in the room. Aren't you hungry at all from giving birth?" Chuck asked amazed that his daughter hadn't asked for food in the last three to four hours.

Lari thought a moment. "Surprisingly, no. I should be though, shouldn't I?" she pondered this.

"Well considering that it takes a large amount of energy to give that final push to get the child out. Anyway any other powers you think or thought a god should have since we are pretty much still on this topic." Chuck asked his daughter while she pondered the food question from before.

"Not now, pondering," Lari said as she stared out the window in thought. "You know what I'm like once I ponder..."

"Oh yes I know. I can last hours or even possibly days.. in may case anyway." Chuck said pulling out his special phone and sent a few confirmation messages around.

Lari stared out the window, thoughts flying around in her head. "Hey Dad...what if he doesn't respond?" she asked, referring to Jasper. "Or what if he divorces me, or what if..?" she began a whole bunch of "what if?" questions.

"Well if he does divorce you I'll probably show him the error of his ways." Chuck began as Lari started her barrage of what if questions.
