Hey, good news for a change.

"I can't tell. They won't settle down," Butcher realized he hadn't taken his hands off of William's stomach.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 5:35 pm

"Wow." Mike glanced between William and Butcher. "Some people can have seven kids, you know? All at the same time." He swallowed.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 5:38 pm

William whimpered and his eyes widened. "No, no, no!" he increased his volume with each word. "I can't do that," he stared over at Mike, his eye twitching.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 5:50 pm

"Definitely not seven. Not that many." He thought a moment. "Not more than five either."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 5:57 pm

Mike didn't think about breathing just yet. "Well that's kind of good," he said in a gasp. What did I get myself in...? I can fuck up one kid's life, twins at the most, but...oh, shit.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:03 pm

William clentched his fists. "If I am pregnant with five children, I will personally march down to Ryland and kill him with my own two hands!" he nearly yelled before whimpering again. I'll have to leave Mike again if it's more then just twins. I'm not doing that to him.

Butcher decided to put the side of his head to Willilam's stomach as well to try to concentrate better even though he didn't know if it would help. "Four...? Three?" He closed his eyes. "Three I think."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:10 pm

"Three," Mike repeated in disbelief. "Ryland is a very productive man, isn't he?" He let himself fall in the nearest chair. "Three babies."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:15 pm

William swallowed in disbelief and felt like he was going to pass out. His eyes were as wide as possible, as he put both of his hands to his forehead, trying to keep himself from fainting. "I can't...This can't be happening," he whispered, shaking his head in disbelief.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:29 pm

"Just one more," Butcher said lamely although he knew there was a difference between twins and triplets. To make William feel better he added, "They seem healthy, just kinda hungry."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:31 pm

"Last time I checked, it wasn't anatomically possible for men to get pregnant. Next thing I know, we're having three kids." Mike took a deep breath. He knew he should have been comforting William, but he couldn't move. "How can three babies fit in William's stomach?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:36 pm

William kept shaking his head in disbelief. "Ryland isn't even that big! He's got a fucking small dick! How did this happen?!" his face was turning red and he was practically shouting. He bit into his lip and tried to calm down, failing miserably.

"I'm not trying to get fresh with you," Butcher chuckled then moved his hands around on William's stomach to his hips and then his lower back. "You're... um... really fertile. It's weird it's like you've got some female parts in there but I don't know if they're just temporary or..." Beckett with ovaries, can this day get any more bizarre?

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:43 pm

Mike smacked his head with his own hand. "Great! Just what we needed! Bill is turning into a chick and I'm going to be the father of three babies."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:48 pm

William couldn't help it anymore. He started crying, his hands pulling at his hair as he broke down. I need to get out of here and I need to do it quick. He doesn't want me. He doesn't! William stared down at himself in disbelief. "I-I can't do this!" he yelled, frustrated and upset.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:51 pm

Butcher shifted his arms so he could hug William, releasing the taller man soon after because he assumed Mike would want to hold him and comfort him. "Hmmm..." He shot out a hand and put it on Mike's stomach just to test a theory he didn't feel like finding out on himself.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:53 pm

Mike slapped Butcher's hand out of the way. "Don't you touch me!" He sat next to William and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay...?" Stupid question. Of course he's doing wonderful.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:57 pm

William didn't answer. He simply kept crying. He cried hard, not even trying to gasp for air. He was trembling, too afraid to speak. Nothing ever works out right. He cover up his face with his hands and remained still, except for his chest heaving and his back and stomach moving along with it.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:00 pm

"Ow," Butcher curled himself up on a big chair and put his hands over his stomach, not quite ready to go yet. Whoa... What's that? I need to learn more about anatomy if I'm going to be trying to fix these things.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:03 pm

Mike rubbed William's back. "It's okay, don't cry. I'm here. I'm with you." He kissed his boyfriend's cheek. "I'll just buy two more plush bunnies, that's all. Please don't cry."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:07 pm

William only cried harder, curling up closer to Mike as he did so, pulling all of his own limbs close to himself, his body shaking with sobs. He covered up his face and let all of his frustration and fear out. He should leave now before it's too late.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:12 pm

Butcher thought about getting up and going to Mikey's room. "If you guys need help you know where I live."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:15 pm

Mike nodded, and kissed William again. "Don't cry, William. I love you. It's hard for me too, you know." He wrapped his arms around the boy. "Trust me, it's going to be fine. We'll be one big happy family, we just...have to forget about the idea of getting a dog, okay? That'd be too much."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:18 pm

William's crying lightened a little as he realized that Mike wsn't automatically leaving him. He rested his head on Mike's chest, still struggling for air. He held on to the guitarist and trembled, still afraid. "H-how are we going to do this?" he whispered.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:21 pm

"I don't know. I just know we're doing it, that's all. That's all we need to know, really." He placed a hand on William's head. "We're certainly not the first couple going through this," he explained. "We'll be alright."
