The Screams Have Ended

“Right, because you give all that attention to yourself when you talk to your reflection!” Bill snapped.

“And you don’t! ‘My god, my hair will not stay the way I want it. Maybe I should continue to kill the ozone and use extra hairspray!’” Tom mimicked Bill waving his hands around his head as if he were spraying hairspray.

“Oh that‘s original, ‘Oh, I got to do more sit ups, my abs are starting to fade’ from lack of sex!” Bill shouted standing over Tom.

“Get out of my face.” Tom ordered dangerously low.

“Make me.” Bill said glaring down at Tom.

Tom growled and tackled Bill to the ground and they started fighting.

Tom pulled at Bill’s hair and Bill kicked him in the balls. Tom shouted in pain and bit Bill on the shoulder.

“Ow! You and your damn overbite!” Bill screamed pushing Tom over and began hitting him in the stomach.

“You’re the one with the fucking big mouth!” Tom grunted, rolling them over so he now had the upper hand.

“At least I don‘t have to smirk to hide MY perfect teeth!” Bill said biting Tom on the hand.

“Dammit! Right that’s why you obsess so much! Because your insecure!”

“Are you even going to try and stop them?” Gustav asked looking at Relia.

“He‘s a big boy he can take care of himself.” Relia said watching her husband and brother-in-law fight with a bored look.

“Mamica! Tata!”

Bill and Relia looked towards the stairs were Ritter was standing at the top of the them with a tear stained face.

~Bill‘s POV~

I shoved Tom away from me and quickly followed Relia up the stairs to Ritter.

“What‘s wrong baby?” Relia asked kneeling in front of him.

“I had bad dream.” He said hugging her.

“What about?” I asked kneeling.

“You left and you did no come back cause you die on plane.” he said sniffling.

“Sweetie, Tata is not going anywhere anytime soon, okay.” Relia said holding him at arms length.

“Besides if I did Mamica would be very angry. And nobody wants to see Mamica angry, right?” I said earning a head shake from Ritter and a glare from Relia.

“Bill, don‘t make me hurt you.” Relia said in German because Ritter was much more fluent in Romanian.

“Can sleep with you?” Ritter asked.

“Of course.” I said.

Ritter hugged my leg and smiled up at me.

“Come on,” I said picking him up, “Lets get to bed.”

~D.B.’s POV~

I yawned and put my head on Gustav’s shoulder.

“You ready to go to bed love?” he asked looking at me. I nodded.

“Come on before Jeeremy wakes up.” I said standing up taking D.B. with me.

I was half way upstairs when I turned back, “Georg, go to your wife and help her with your children.” I said shaking my head at him.

Gustav and I finally made to my room. I didn’t bother changing out of my clothes and laid down but almost immediately got up.

I just needed to see Jeeremy before I went to bed, just to make sure these days wasn’t a dream.

I was checking on Jeeremy in the room next to mine when I felt Gustav’s arms wrap around my waist and rest his head on my shoulder.

“I wish I could have been there for you,” he said. “I should‘ve been, instead of performing.” I turned around to see tears slipping from his eyes. I whipped them away and hugged him.

“I‘m sorry, I would‘ve been there to help. I couldn‘t bear the thought of losing you, I love you too much.” he said hugging back.

After a few minutes I pulled away, “You were just doing your job and I didn’t need help, Jeeremy’s not a handful. I’m alive and well and we can’t go back in time so there is no need to beat yourself up. And besides I didn’t know I was pregnant until I had Jeeremy.”

He smiled lightly and picked me up walking into my room.
