Butcher couldn't handle watching the clock any longer. He carried Mikey's baby downstairs with him and stared at the front door sadly. "Mikey where are you?"

William heard Butcher's voice and walked out fo the room, feeling the need to go find the drummer. He walked intot he entrance corridor quietly. "Butcher?" he said softly.

Butcher turned, holding the baby that looked so much like Mikey. "Bill? What are you doing here?"

William looked at the baby in confusion until Nick's words came back into his mind. That's Mikey and Nick's child... He looked up at teh drummer, not sure of what to say. He thought his tear stained face was enough to explain anything.

"It's probably not my place to say but you can stay here." Butcher shifted the baby slightly. "Do you want to talk about it?" The older man sniffled.

"I-I-I only need somewhere to stay for a short time. Maybe just tonight. Just until I can find some way to leave the city," he frowned, trying to stop himself from continuing to cry.

"You're pregnant," Butcher said flatly. "You're not going anywhere. I'm sure Mikey can figure something out." Besides I think he likes you, plus you have something in common now. I think he'll be on your side.

"Being pregnant has nothing to do with it. I-I just need to get out of the city. I need to get away." He shivered slightly and continued looking at the drummer through tear stained eyes.

"How are you going to take care of the babies?" Butcher stepped towards William. "Taking care of three children is a job in itself and you'd have to work right? You couldn't do that."

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:07 pm

William shook his head. "I have to find a way to make it work then. I have no other choice. I'm all on my own now," he said before allowing another tear to fall down his cheek bone.

(No, I am not Adam Siska... xD oops...)

"I'm not sure if Mikey even wants me anymore." Butcher shrugged his shoulders. "I could help you."

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:13 pm

William frowned. "Butcher, don't say that. Mikey still loves you. He's just going through a tough time," he siad quietly, moving closer to pull the man into an embrace, making sure not to hurt the baby the drummer was holding.

Mike had never been so anxious around the Mandible house, not even on his first visit. He knocked at the door several times yet purposedly didn't say his name.

Sisky squeaked and turned tiny, fluttering behind Mike's back. I'm ending up just like my parents. I thought being raised by humans would make me different.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:20 pm

Butcher's heart fluttered when he heard the knock at the door. "Please hold the baby, Bill. Maybe it's somebody with news about Mikey." The drummer carefully handed the little boy to his friend and rushed to answer the door. His face fell when he saw who it was. "Mike?"

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:22 pm

"No, Santa Claus," Mike replied, frowning, offended by the man's disappointed look. "Is William here with you?"

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:30 pm

"Do you know where Mikey is?" Butcher knew it was a longshot but it was worth a try. "William's here. You need to apologize to him."

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:32 pm

"No, no, no, no, no!" William whispered angrily, turning quickly to move away from the door. I don't even want to see him right now, must less let him get away with just apologizing.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:35 pm

Sisky stayed as still as possible behind Mike's back, covering her own mouth with her hands. Mike, I'm so sorry.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:35 pm

Mike sighed with immeasurable relief, but shook his head. "We should go look for Mikey," he suggested, "right after..." He stepped inside and looked around to see William trying to leave. "William, please," he called.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:37 pm

Butcher realized he wasn't carrying Mikey's baby any more so he put his arms around William and whispered into the taller man's ear. "Did Mike do something to you?"

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:39 pm

"You wouldn't even believe," William whispered back, continuing to walk away with the baby in his arms. He wanted to get as far away from Mike as he could.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:42 pm

I should stick up for Mike... Come on Sisky, be a man. Okay... You've got a vagina... Still... She drifted close to Mike's shoulder.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:42 pm

Mike ran after William, not letting a chance for Sisky to hide. He wrapped an arm around the boy's waist and turned him around, careful not to touch the baby he was holding. "William, please, just listen to me."

Butcher stared blankly at the tiny person flittering where Mike had previously been standing. "Fairy."
