Hey, good news for a change.

William grinned over at Butcher. "Our one and only witness," he laughed, still smiling. Hey, being alone wouldn't have been bad either.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:42 pm

"Only?" Butcher looked a little confused.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:43 pm

Mikey fought the urge to turn his hands over and lost. His face took on a guilty look.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:49 pm

Mike shrugged. "So far you're the only one coming."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:51 pm

"Oh," Butcher was surprised, but then again they probably didn't know where any of the other guys were or even what sides they might secretly be on.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:52 pm

William nodded. "We can't really invite anyone who doesn't know about this because there are some things that we just can't hide." He looked down at his stomach. "And to explain all of that to everyone, we'd need to do something about Ryland first, and that's not likely to happen before this weekend," he explained, ending his lecture with a nod of his head.

Mikey moved his head up, completely oblivious to everyone else's conversation. He watched his daughter fly around the room again, before gently moving to touch down on his shoulder.

Mike took William's hand, still looking at Butcher. "Think about it...more champagne and cake for you."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:59 pm

"Champagne? I'm there." Butcher laughed and stood up. "Hey William can I try something?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:01 pm

William shrugged. "Sure," he said, smiling. He was unsure of what Butcher was going to do, but he trusted the drummer.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:02 pm

Unseen to everyone, Mikey took his daughter into his arms, holding her tight. She was just a memory, but she was almost real.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:03 pm

Mike waited to see what Butcher was about to do.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:04 pm

Butcher put both his hands on William's stomach and laughed suddenly.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:10 pm

William gave Butcher a confused look. "What so funny?" he asked, a smile still on his lips.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:10 pm

Mikey watched sadly as his daughter faded from his arms. "Goodnight." He whispered, padding out the room.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:12 pm

Mike barely glanced at Mikey. He smiled. "What? Do you want one, too?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:19 pm

Butcher stopped laughing and blushed furiously. "What? A baby? Me? With who?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:22 pm

William grinned at the fact that Butcher was blushing and embarassed enough to forgot to take his hands off of his stomach. He turned his head around for a moment to look back at Mikey. "Goodnight," he waved back, beofre turning around and chuckling at Butcher.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:28 pm

Mike grinned. "What, did you have anyone in mind?" Everybody in the band had known that Butcher had liked Sisky more than he should have, but lately the man seemed to have been forgetting about the boy. Was he in love with someone else?

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:30 pm

Butcher unknowingly drew himself a little closer to William in a pathetic attempt to hide. He said a little too quickly, "Of course not."

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:33 pm

William chuckled, noticing Butcher's attempt to hide. He smiled at the drummer, trying to calm him down so her wasn't so embarassed.

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:38 pm

Mike's grin grew wider. "Oh, come on. It's nothing to be ashamed of." He chuckled. "I'm getting married to William and we're about to have twins," he reminded him. "Having a crush on someone won't hurt you. Who's the lucky one?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:41 pm

"No one you know," Butcher said stiffly, again too fast. "Are you sure you're having twins? I definitely felt more than one in there but I don't know how many. They were moving. Since when did you know?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:43 pm

"Nice way to talk about something else." Mike laughed. "William brought up the possibility that it could be twins." He stopped. "Wait, do you think there could be more than two...?"

Subject: Re: Hey, good news for a change. Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:55 pm

William widened his eyes. "B-Butcher," he stuttered, afraid to find out the answer to Mike's question. One was enough. Two we think we can possibly handle. But more than three?!
