Butcher refrained from commenting and stood quietly to go.

William kept his head on Mike's chest, still trying to calm down. He swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. "B-but I thought that you weren't even sure of having two," he whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Fuck it," Mike replied. "Two or three or fifteen, I don't care. They're our children now. Soon enough they'll be the ones complaining about their dad, not the other way around."

William moved closer to Mike, happy that he wasn't going to be discarded. "I'm a pregnant guy whose going to have triplets and has a female organ. What next?" he whispered in that same hoarse voice.

Butcher turned around and walked back, "Hey you know it might be a bad idea you staying here too long without Mikey around..."

"Don't make me get started on all the thing Ryland could do." Mike sighed. "We'll have it though, that's for sure." He looked up at Butcher. "We're leaving in a minute."

William kept silent, finally starting to calm down. He Shifted himself upward into a seated position slowly, signalling that he was ready to go back to Mike's house. Rubbing his tear stained cheeks, he looked over at Mike.

Mike stood up and took William's hand. "Let's go, alright?" He smiled. "Husband," he reminded him.

William gave Mike a small, weak smile as he stood up slowly, staggering a bit. He wasn't used to having to carry that much extra weight. He grabbed on to Mike's shoulder for extra balance before turning back to Butcher. "Thank you," he whispered, his voice still hoarse.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:52 pm

"Want me to walk you out?" Butcher offered.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 7:56 pm

"No, thank you," Mike said. "I can do it myself. I need to get used to it." He wrapped an arm around William's waist to lead him outisde.

William turned back to wave at the drummer. "Bye Butcher," he said quietly, a small smile on his face. He turned back to Mike, layed his head down on the guitarist's shoulder and walked with him, relieved and yet still worried.

"Bye guys and good luck." Butcher smiled and watched them go.

Once outside, Mike let go of William. "Do you want to fly, or do you prefer walking?" Do unborn babies mind heights?

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:27 pm

William bit his lip. "Which ever you want to do," he said softly. He stared down at the ground for a moment before looking back up at Mike, still nervous.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:30 pm

Mike's smile faded. "What are you so uncertain about? The William I know voices his thoughts." He frowned. "I thought we were over this."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:32 pm

"I-I'm afraid I might weigh you down," he mumbled, a little embarassed to admit it. A light blush spread on his cheeks, but he tried to hide it.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:34 pm

Mike laughed. He hoped William wouldn't be angered by his reaction, but he couldn't help it. "We flied to get there. I don't think you gained weight in so little time."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:37 pm

He sighed. "You'd be surprised," he smiled, putting his arms around Mike's neck again in both an embrace and a sign that he had chosen how he wanted to leave.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:40 pm

"I think I've had enough surprises for one day," Mike replied. He placed his arms around William. "If we keep travelling like this, our kids will grow wings like their daddy."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:43 pm

William laughed a little, changing his position a little so that his stomach wold fit better against Mike's. "Well if they could fly half as well as you do, then it'd be alright," he smiled.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Mon Aug 27, 2007 7:50 pm

"Unless you or Ryland has some hidden Avian blood, we won't see them fly by themselves anytime soon." Mike shrugged. "Oh well. Maybe the next ones will." He grinned and, before William could reply, jumped and spread his wings.
