Chapter 14

Babsie was free to leave the hospital a few days later. And a couple of days after that she and Isaac were off to the Australian Logies. Xavier (much to Babsies' reluctance) was being left in the care of her cousin Mary (much to Mrs Masters annoyance).

Naturally they were stopped by the media on the way in. Everyone wanting to congratulate the couple on their new born baby.

"So, what did you guys get nominated for anyway?" Isaac asked as they sat at their table.

"Oh, we just might make you wait." Jarod grinned.

To Isaacs' amusement, (and perhaps a little annoyance) Jarod actually meant it. Still, he didn't have a long wait to find out the first category.

"And the winner for best Comedy or Light Entertainment program is... Hot Stuff."

Isaac grinned at Babsie and she, Nick and Jarod headed up to the stage. They gave a brief (and silly) acceptance speech before heading off the stage.

Much later in the evening...

"And the nominees for Best Comedian are..."

Babsies' name was third in the list. Babsie rolled her eyes.

"I still think they nominated me as a joke." She whispered to Isaac, who smiled.

No, she didn't win the award.

"Ooh, look proof that not all Aussies have a demented sense of humour."

"That's something Babsie to us when she found out about the nomination." Nick commented during the break. "Anyone who thinks she's funny must have a demented sense of humour."

"Deranged. Pathetic. Sad. Disturbed. Need I continue?" Babsie grinned.

"Well, there must be a lot of sad disturbed people out there Babs. And the whole Hanson clan is a part of it." Isaac joked. "You have your moments."

Babsie gave him a look.

"You know, you have to be worried when your husband calls himself disturbed. That's just wrong somehow."

Isaac laughed.

"Oh, quit flirting." Nick said, disgusted. "Save it for the bedroom."

"Yeah Nick, we know all about you and your bedroom." Babsie commented dryly. "If someone stuck a camera in there and taped what goes on, it would have to be R-rated."

"At least your room isn't next to his." Jarod grinned. "I think I need to sound-proof my room. It's pretty sad when your younger brother gets more lovin' than you."

"Hey, it's not my fault you won't get a girlfriend." Nick defended.

"Nick, you don't have a girlfriend." Babsie replied. "You just have a frequent sex points scheme with the local pimp."

Isaac and Jarod laughed, mainly at the look of indignant disgust on Nicks' face.

"Come on Babsie, I'm not that bad. And I don't pick up hookers."

Babsie raised an eyebrow and gave him a condescending look.

"Oh, ok, once, once! Leave me alone."

Babsie just grinned. She probably would have replied, but the break finished.
