The Screams Have Ended

~Bill‘s POV~

“Mom.” I whined exasperated.

“What?”

“Did you have to tell everyone?!”

It seems like my entire family was here congratulating me, cooing over Ritter and Daciana, asking me if I‘m going to have anymore.

I don’t think they understand how spoiled they are going to come out if don’t stomp with bombarding them with compliments.

“I didn’t. Relia did.” she said taking Daciana from me and going to show her off to some more of her friends.

Relia did this on purpose I know she did but how in the world did she get all of their numbers.

“Tom. Help me please!” I begged.

He was just standing against the wall watching me with amusement. I would occasionally see a member of our family walk up to him to talk him for a bit but other than that he was completely ignored.

“Well I guess I could do something to stop all the attention from coming only to you.” he said making me look at him in confusion.

“You’re not going to try and imitate Gordon when he gets drunk again are you?” I asked hoping he would say no.

Last time he did that we were ten and weren’t even supposed to know about that so we both got grounded. Why I got grounded still baffles me to this day.

“No but I am going to get some attention here tonight.” He said and walked out of sight.

~Tom‘s POV~

“Everyone please be quiet for a moment please, I would like to make an announcement!” I said standing on a chair in the middle of the living room.

I waited for quiet then began to speak, “Some of you may not know this but I have been in love with this girl for a while.”

“Three and a half years!” Bill shouted.

“Thank you, Bill! Now we have been dating for a bit and-”

“She’s pregnant isn’t she?” I heard someone ask.

“Yes but-”

“Well that was expected.”

I rolled my eyes, “I recently asked her to marry me and she agreed.”

Suddenly I think I know how Bill felt ten minutes ago. Everyone continuously congratulated me and asked the following questions.

“Who is she?”

“She‘s an amazing girl who you would all love just as much as I do.” I would answer.

“What does she look like?”

“She has natural bleach blonde hair, she‘s short and has the most heart stopping smile.” I said.

“What is she like? I hope she isn‘t like the other girls you‘ve dated.”

“No, she is in no way like the other girls I‘ve dated. She’s fun, caring, she loves to meet new people.”

“How old is she? We don‘t want you going to jail.”

“She‘s a year older than I am.”

“When is she due?”

“Late May or early April.”

“When is the wedding?”

“We haven‘t decided yet.”

“Where is she? Why isn‘t she here?”

“She‘s in Russia taking care of business.”

I answered the questions as quickly as I possibly could but everyone had a different question after the basic questions were answered.

“Now you know how I feel.” Bill said smirking at my tired expression.

I flipped him the bird and walked in the kitchen to get a drink, I deserved one.

Everyone had gone on home about a half an hour ago and we just finished straightening up.

Ritter and Daciana were passed out on the couch. Mom and Gordon went to bed and Bill and I were getting ready to go, after we had caught our breath.

“Shut up already. I did it to help you.” I said putting my head on my arms on the table.

I closed my eyes and sighed contently, finally some rest.

“Uh uh. No sleeping. We have to get home and find out how Georg and Gustav‘s day with their parents went.” Bill said shaking my shoulder.

I groaned, stood up, picked up Ritter and followed Bill out to the car.
