Making good on a promise

Sisky looked frantically from one depressed man to the others. Somebody do something! I don't know what to do!

Mike threw his head back, gasping for air as he cried. Between sobs, he searched in his coat pockets for his cellphone and called the doctor. "William's at the Mandible House," he simply said, knowing it'd be enough. If we lost our babies again I'll never forgive myself.

"I'm sure if your Daddy gave you a chance he'd love you," Butcher whispered to the baby. "I love you and you're not even mine."

William groaned as he felt something move inside his stomach. He continued crying. Oh god, it's happening again... He held his stomach tighter and yelped.

Mike's eyes sprung open. He rushed at William's side, shaking. "It was an accident," he whispered, breathless. "An accident." Again, he attempted to touch William and use his power.

Butcher stood carefully and started walking up the stairs when he remembered being on the floor probably wasn't healthy for a baby. "If you need me I'll be in Mikey's room."

William carefully pushed Mike away again so that he couldn't use his power. "Please stop doing that!" he begged, tears still falling from his eyes. He looked up at Mike helplessly, his whole body aching then.

"Do you want me to do anything?" Sisky asked quietly. Just ask me to leave and I'll never come back.

Mike ignored Sisky, hoping William would understand. "Until the doctor arrives," he mumbled, sobbing. "Let me. Please, William, let me..." He wrapped his arms around the totality of the man's body and cried loudly against his shoulder. "I'm so sorry, William..." Out of luck or desperation, he didn't know - but his attempt at relieving all of William's pain seemed to work. He gasped and tightened his grip on the boy.

William started crying harder again. "Mike, d-don't!" he yelled in a hoarse voice. "Stop it!" he tried again to make the guitarist let go, but failed.

Sisky stood up and started walking towards the front door. She figured that since it was closed she'd try crawling under it first.

The more William struggled, the more painful it was for Mike; he remained silent aside from occasional groans and whimpers of pain. The boy couldn't feel it anymore, but Mike knew the babies were in serious danger. "Are you going to forgive me someday?" he asked, still crying hard. "I promise I'll leave, just don't ever believe it was intentional..."

William tried to move Mike away, almost wanting to feel the pain. He positioned himself so that his head was leaning against the wall, making his neck appear longer. He stretched his legs out to full length, his body numb. He looked up at Mike, helplessly, still trying to push away the guitarist. He was still crying hard. "P-please don't do this!"

Sisky looked back over her shoulder and let her head droop down as she continued walking to the door. Will I fit under there? She sized up the gap.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:40 pm

Mike desperately crushed his lips against William's, feeling he was going to pass out due to the excessive pain. He moved his head away and pressed it against William's chest. "The doctor should be there soon." He felt some of the pain leave him, fighting not to let it happen but failing. He was quickly getting exhausted.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:43 pm

William felt relieved as the pain started hitting him again. He whimpered slightly as it grew stronger by the second. He put his arm around his stomach again, still crying. "I-I-I thought you wanted Sisky," he said in a hoarse voice as he gasped for air.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:46 pm

Better not try it. I could get stuck. Sisky changed to fullsize and put her hand on the doorknob. Of course he doesn't, William. And I don't want him.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:47 pm

"No, no, William...I love you," Mike whispered, loosening his grip on the boy. "It was just a stupid idea, our sick idea of fun..." He felt himself almost collapse; he held William closer to make sure his powers wouldn't fail him. "I don't want anyone but you."

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:52 pm

William could still feel the pain steadily entering his body again to his relief. "I love you too," was all he could manage to whisper in that same hoarse voice before yelping, tilting his head back further against the wall. He hissed slightly, his hand beginning to slip off of his stomach as he began losing consciousness, almost all of hsi pain returned to him.

Sisky opened the door and walked out, pulling in her wings so she could blend in when she ran into people. "He's in there," Sisky told a man carrying a case of some kind who looked like he could be a doctor. "If you're looking for William you're at the right place." She continued walking.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:56 pm

Mike's body shook. Where's the doctor? His hands fell to William's sides and he closed his eyes. "I wish there was more I could do," he said, and fell to the floor, unconscious.

Subject: Re: Making good on a promise Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:58 pm

William screamed as every single ounce of his pain set back in, and out of fear because of his fiance's current state. William began choking on his tears, begging for oxygen as his hand reached out to touch the guitarist's head. He closed his eyes as the doctor entered the room.

Sisky looked back at the house one last time. "Bye guys."

Nick poked his head through the wall, watching the commotion wide eyed. He knelt down beside William, Angel following. "I wish I could help you more..." The little girl placed a hand on the vampire's cheek, stroking it gently.

Mike remained motionless, eyes closed.
