Give Me Novacaine

It had been a year since both Alice and Abigail were born. Yes, a full year. Mike had a girlfriend now, named Cieara, and he was living with her at her house out in Emeryville while the rest of them still lived in Oakland. Tre and Marty were still living in the same house, same with Billie and Alyssa.

[ALYSSA'S POV]

"Billie! I have you seen Abby's sippy cup?" I yelled from the living room where I was sitting on the couch holding my beautiful daughter.

"Here. I have it." said my wonderful, green-eyed husband as he walked in handing me the cup.

"Thanks." I said with a smile.

"No problem." he had replied back to me and gave me a quick kiss.

I handed Abby her cup and she tried pushing herself off of my signaling that she wanted to get up and walk around. I let her down and she walked over to her dad who was sitting at the kitchen table working on guitar chords, and grabbed his leg. Billie looked down at her.

"Hey darling!" he said to her and picked her up and stood up to come sit next to me.

A few minutes had gone by as me and Billie were cooing at her and kissing her small face. Abby eventually fell asleep and we took her upstairs to her room and layed her down carefully in her crib and shut the door. I was walking down the steps and I was stopped on the second landing when I felt Billie put his arms around me and kissed my neck.

"Billie, no." I said to him as I turned around and patted his face and walked downstairs. It was hard to resist him, to be honest. I just didn't want to do what he wanted to do all the time. If you know what I mean by that.

"Why?" following me into the kitchen.

I sighed, "because. I don't want to right now."

He leaned up against the wall and looked down at my feet, then back up at my face, "alright."

I smiled at him and hugged him tightly and gently kissed him. Next thing I realized, we were laying on the couch, snuggled against eachother just laying there watching some "Green Day Loaded" on Fuse. His right arm was around my waist and his legs interwined with mine and his left arm under my head. I turned arond to face him and stared up at him. His eyeliner was smudged and his hair was still a bit spikey and he had a soft, freshly shaved face. But his eyes were still bright green as green can get. He was perfect to me in so many ways. I played with his hair as he did the same with mine. We didn't say much for a long time, we didn't need to say anything to eachother. He pressed his face against mine and whispered softly in my left ear, "I love you." It sent shivers down my spine and butterflies in my stomache.

"I love you, too." I said back to him.

[BILLIE'S POV]

I told her I loved her and her face looked like she had found 100 bucks laying on the streets of Hollywood, and had the biggest smile on her face. Alyssa told the same thing back to me and eventually fell asleep. It was about 10:00. I had band practice in the morning. I figured I'd go to sleep, also. So, I did.

I woke up the next morning to Alyssa making bacon in the kitchen. I was alone on the couch, what a bummer. I walked in to see that she was setting the food on two plates next in front of her and handed one to me.

"Good morning." she told me with a smile.

I kissed her quickly and pulled away with her face still in my hands. She kissed me one last time.

"Go to practice." she said and patted my shoulder. I quickly ate and then headed out the door to go to Tre and Marty's house. Marty was coming over to our house with Alice while Tre, Mike and I all practiced in the basement.

[MARTY'S POV]

I left Tre and I's house with Alice and went to Billie and Alyssa's since they were having practice. I arrived there shortly and Alyssa let me in while holding little Abby in her arm.

"Hey!" she said and pulled me into a hug.

"Hello." I said with a geeky smile and sat Alice down in the little playpin as Alyssa did with Abby.

We sat down on the couch and ate bacon while watching Fuse. Fall Out Boy was on.

"Ew. Can I change this shit?" I asked.

"Yes. Please." Alyssa said back to me handing me the remote.

I changed the channel to MTV. There were music videos playing. I noticed that Ludo was on. I screamed, "I love this song!"

"Me too!" she yelled back.

Abby started to cry.

"Dangit." Alyssa said getting up and grabbing her daughter and patting her back telling her that 'it's alright' and 'I'm sorry' and all that stuff. Abby calmed down after a few minutes and Alyssa set her back down in the playpin with Alice. Those two were getting along great the past year. They were acting like they've known eachother forever. They were going to end up best friends, just like me and Alyssa. Although, they probably wern't going to marry hot, famous men from the greatest band ever.

After the band had their practice for a couple hours, they all went to Billie and Alyssa's house and crashed there after a long, hard day of working on the new album. Tre sighed as he sat down hard on the couch and leaned on Marty's shoudler and closed his eyes.

"I am WIPED!" Tre said.

"Amen!" Billie and Mike both said together. Mike had brought Cieara over with him since he wouldn't be going back to his home in Emeryville that night.

"I'm really tired, Mikey, is there any place I could lay down?" Cieara asked putting her hand on his chest and looking up at him. Mike looked at Billie.

"Oh yeah, sure. Just follow me." Billie said walking out the room. He took her to the spare bedroom and explained that everything is there that she would need and stuff. He came back into the living room and sat next to Alyssa.

[ALYSSA'S POV]

"So, we got a new video on YouTube earlier today..." Tre said sitting up straight.

"Really?" I asked leaning over to look at him.

Tre nodded his head, "we already have over 500 thousand views. I guess our fans are pretty crazy about this new album."

The five of us continued on a convosation about the new album and when it's coming out and stuff.

"I'm pretty wiped. Can we go home?" Tre asked Marty.

"Yeah. I'm tired, too. We'll see you guys later. Hopefully we'll stop by tomorrow." Marty said as she picked up sleeping Alice and they said their good-bye's and walked out the door.

"I'm going to go with Cieara. I'll see you in the morning." Mike said going down the hallway.

I layed down and streched my legs out so my feet were in Billie's lap and I covered myself with a blanket and went surfing through the channels on the TV. Billie starting tickling me feet and made me burst out laughing non-stop.

"Oh my god, Billie, stop!" I said between laughs and wiping her tears off my face. Billie was laughing too tickling my legs now.

I screamed and laughed at the same time, "get off me!"

"Alright, alright. You win." Billie said putting his hands up in surrender.

I smiled and pulled the blanket up to my face and closed my eyes. Mike came in the room.

"Will you guys shut up?!" Mike said trying not to smile, "what were you doing anyways?"

I sat up and pointed at Billie, "he was tickling me!" Then I made a sad face, crossed my arms and pouted.

Mike just sighed then chuckled a little then went back to bed.

"Not in my house, Michael!" Billie yelled at him.

We heard Cieara and Mike laughing as he closed the door and layed down next to her.

I leaned over on Billie and he put his arm around me and I continued to surf through the channels. It was late at night, so something good had to be on, like Family Guy or something. I stopped at Fuse anyways about some band's biography, it was Angels and Airwaves, so I wanted to watch it. The lead singer, Tom Delonge, was married now, to some girl named Adrienne or something. I don't know.

"Oh shit!" Billie said sitting up straight, "turn the volume up."

I did what he told me and I looked at him, he looked really surprised, and hurt. Tom's wife came up on the screen talking about the band and stuff, her name was Adrienne Delonge.

"I was supposed to marry her." I heard Billie whisper to himself. I pretended not to hear that, I took it that it was a while back, and he was with me now, why should I worry? Or maybe I was just trying to push the thought away of him being with somebody else... other than me.

Then the shot went to a live performance of them singing 'Everything's Magic'. Billie, still in shock, leaned back and pulled me close to him and kissed me, hard. I pushed him away though. He looked hurt, more hurt than what he was.

"Whats the deal with this girl?" I asked him staring straight into his eyes. I had the channel paused on her face, we had TiVo. He looked over and stared and began to cry a little. I grabbed his face and turned his head to face me again, "tell me."

He sighed and shook his head, "I- I was supposed to marry her, and just a few days before our wedding, she told me that she hated me and threw the ring at me and ran away to Minnesota, to go back home where her parents lived, and I havn't heard from her since. Looks like she married that Tom guy."

I stared at him with sympathy.

"But, don't worry, it was almost a year before I even met you anyways." he pushed the tears back and pulled me close for a tight hug. I looked up at him and he was still staring at the screen. I started to become jealous, I knew that he was sad and that she had torn him up real bad, but I didn't want him to try and be with her again. I was married to him, til death do us part.

I pressed play to live TV again, and I decided to change the channel to Family Guy. I didn't want Billie to watch that anymore. I pulled him close to me and leaned back, so he was practically ontop of me.

"You have me now. I'd never hurt you, love." I told him with my forehead pressed to his. I wanted him to make sure that I would do anything for him, practically die for him.

[BILLIE'S POV]

"I love you." I told her as she stroked my head and played with my hair. I moved myself so I was laying beside her and wrapped my arm over her so she wouldn't fall off the couch. She tends to uhh... fall a lot. I smiled a little at that.

I didn't want her to think that I was going to try to be with this other girl... who I refuse to say her name... Alyssa was my life now. I'd die for her. Losing her would ruin everything. I eventually fell asleep and ended up having a dream about her. The one who broke my heart almost 2 years ago. It was about 3 in the morning and Alyssa was sound asleep. It was completely quiet in the house, except for Mike's annoying snore coming from down the hall. I didn't understand how Cieara could stand even sleeping the same room as him. I laughed at him. I must of laughed too loud because I woke Alyssa up.

"Billie?" she asked reaching for my face.

"Hey, hun. I'm right here." I replied taking her hand.

"I need to go sleep upstairs in our bed. This couch is killing me."

"Alright. I can take care of that." I said climbing over her and picking her up.

"Put me down!" she tried to yell still a bit dozy from just waking up. I couldn't help but to smile now. I threw her down on the bed and climbed in after her. She tried backing away from me still laughing really hard.

"No." she said seriously with her finger touching my nose. I was hovering over her. I tried to make a puppy dog face. That didn't work either. She pulled her lips together to make it look like she was thinking.

"Hmmm..." she said after a few seconds, "I suppose you can get your way this time." She said with a smile and wrapped her arms around my neck. I started to kiss her, it felt like I hadn't even touched her in months. I felt like nothing else in the world mattered to me. Not even Mike and his girlfriend downstairs, not even the new album thats coming out next year that every fan in the world is waiting for. A few minutes later, I heard Abby start to cry. We both looked at eachother, "I'll get her." I told her.
