Phoenix's pov:
I woke up to some obnoxious little bastards loudly knocking on the front door "Fine! We're coming!" I yelled down the stairs as i went to open it "Ugh finally!" Dad said sounding exasperated at the wait "Dad!" I yelled hugging him "and what am i? Chopped liver?!" Robert said and i rolled my eyes "sup' Rob!" Hugging him, i hugged Sarah and Tj magically appeared next to me "Holy shit your getting big!" Dad said and Robert slapped him "ouch! Babe what was that for?!" He whined and Robert glared at him "for being insensitive! You look great sweetheart." i laughed and leaned against Tj "thats what we've been saying!" Ryan said walking downstairs with really awful bed hair "damn bro if i had a protractor i'd be measuring those right angles!" I told him and Ricky laughed tiredly "hi max, sup' Robert, hey baby sister!" Ryan said and Sarah laughed "hey Ryan, hiya Ricky." She said and hugged Ryan and then Ricky. We hung out for a few hours and i explained to dad what had happened, after that we went back to being normal and having fun.
Two months later.
"Tj come on, there's only a few more boxes in the truck." i told him as i walked into our new house to find him lying face down on the couch "I dmnt wanja do miy." he mumbled through the cushions "english please babe." i told him and he sat up "i dont wanna do it." he said and i rolled my eyes "I'd do it but," i gestured to my large bump "I'm six months pregnant so it might be difficult." i said and he rolled his eyes "ugh fine." he got up and went to the truck, coming in later with the last two boxes. i sat down on the couch and was soon joined by Tj "i can't wait to meet my baby boy." Tj said excitedly as he kicked, yep that's right we're having a boy, i laughed slightly and looked around the slightly messy living room, packed with boxes and other stuff "i can't wait till our house looks like our house!" I said just as excitedly as Tj did. we were lying on the couch together, Tj rubbing light circles on my large bump while we talked about random shit when the doorbell rang, Tj went to get it and i stayed lying on the couch knowing that if it was any of the guys or my parents they wouldn't give a shit "We came to see our two favourite little whorrors!" I heard Ricky's voice say and then a voice i hadn't heard in forever "And we bought wings!" I jumped up and ran out to the hall "ANGELO!" I yelled and hugged him as best as i could with Xander (thats what we decided to name him) in between us "PHOENIX!! Its been so long! Oh my gosh your so big! I didn't even know you were pregnant! Is it a boy or a girl?! What are you going to call it?!" The guys all laughed and Chris looked down at me, cause he's ridiculously tall! And said "nice to see you to nix!" I laughed and shrugged "i saw you guys yesterday!" I just about finished my sentence before Tj and i were bundled into a group hug "dudes, careful, Xander is still kinda fragile!" Tj said and Angelo 'oohed' "its a boy!! So his name is Xander?" We both nodded in reply "Xander Maxwell Bell." we both said at the same time, Tj giggled and then i guess he remembered the discussion we'd had at around 3am this morning "and we want you guys to all be godfathers, you know if you want to?" This was followed by a chorus of "of course we wills!"and "do you even need to asks?!" It was great to have such a supportive family! "Anyways why are we still in the hall?!" I asked over the excited chatter of the guys "Edward scissorhands!!" Devin yelled running to the living room, we'd unpacked all the important things, like the Tv, the DVD player and got the wifi set up so all Devin had to do was find it in the few boxes of DVDs we have. Devin found it in a matter of seconds cause he's a little fangirl! "Ugh not this again!" Chris groaned and we all laughed before spreading across the two couches, i ended up sat in Tj's lap my legs across Ryan and Ricky and Chris some how ended up lying across Josh and Devin, Angelo just sort of chilled on the carpeted floor not really bothered. Devin started the movie and somebody threw me and the guys a box of wings each and Tj made everyone laugh by balancing the box on my bump. i laughed as Xander kicked, little fluttery bubble like feelings came after that and felt like he was laughing to "Ouch!" I said slightly loudly and all the guys looked at me "babe you okay?" Tj asked and i nodded "he just kicked pretty hard thats all." i said rubbing my hand across the place he'd kicked. Angelo 'awed' before asking to feel it, i took his hand and moved it to where he was kicking and Angelo was practically dying of adorableness! The guys took it in turns feeling him kick and then we went back to the movie. about halfway through the movie Tj started tracing light patterns across my bump, making Xander kick more. Tj smiled and then noticed the shirt i was wearing "I didn't even know you had this still!" He whispered into my ear and i nodded "i kept everything." i whispered back, before looking down at the baggy, well not so baggy at the moment, motionless in white shirt with the creatures album cover on. Tj gave it to me for my birthday the first year i was with dad and i just sort of kept it for all these years. i leant against Tj and he played with my hair whilst Johnny Depp sung about shaving. Devin sat staring at the screen intently as well as Ricky, Ryan and Josh. Chris sat playing with his hair while staring at the ground, Angelo was staring at the screen but he seemed kind of out of it to.. I yawned and my phone went off somewhere "listen up now mother fuckers this is how its going to be and i don't give a single fuck if you like it or not." Chris's voice filled the room while i searched around the lounge for my phone "got it!" Balz yelled holding up my phone "thanks josh." i said taking it and walking into the hall "sup bro?" I said and i heard Rueben smile "Dad said you finally moved into your place! Congrats sis, so Sophie and i haven't seen you in ages so we need your address so we can visit soon." i smiled and agreed "i'll text it to you, let me know when you want to come up." we said our goodbyes after that quick phone call and i went back into the lounge sitting with the guys and watching finding nemo, as Edward Scissorhands had finished and Josh is like a 11 year old girl going through a break up. i laughed as he fake cried, he sobbed out loud and then cried "No! Nemo come back!" Before burying his head into the couch cushion, his shoulders shaking wildly. He sat up and grinned "Okay I'm done!" Josh said turning back to the screen, we all laughed except Angelo and Chris who managed a watery smile.. I sighed, getting fed up with the whole 'lets ignore the awesome shit going on around us and wallow in self pity.' i stood up calmly and looked at the two of them "Upstairs." i said politely and walked out of the living room, leaving the guys confused and Angelo and Chris following behind me both of them looking like children after being yelled at by there mom. we made it up the stairs and they sat down on the bed while i closed the door "What exactly is going on with you two huh?" I asked watching the two of them play with there hands "We're going on tour.." Chris said and i nodded "yes, its your job, elaborate please." i said and Angelo looked up "we're going to be gone for three months.." my jaw dropped "what do you mean we?" I managed to choke out "Brandon left, we can't get a replacement so Ange agreed to fill in for us.." i nodded "This isn't what your panicking about Chris, come one just spill it." Angelo and him both looked down at the carpeted floor "We leave tomorrow.." Angelo murmured and i looked at them both "how long have you known?" I asked my voice quiet "About a month.." Chris said and i glared at them "So your telling me that my brothers are going to be gone for three months and are going to miss the birth of my child simultaneously?!" I said trying not to raise my voice and they both nodded there heads, avoiding my death stare "Why didn't you tell me?!" They both shrugged and they finally looked up "Go." i said calmly "what?" Chris asked confused "Get out of my room, leave me alone, don't talk to me please. i get that this is your job and your going to miss important things but you guys are pretty much my brothers! You were the only family i had for 9 years! Thats not the sort of thing you hide! If you'd told me sooner i'd have been able to deal with it but you didn't! You gave me a days notice before you fuck off and miss an important part of family life! And whats even worse is Ryan, who is my actual BIOLOGICAL brother! Didn't tell me! So please leave my room. don't let the door hit you on the way out, the exit is'a that way!" I snapped pointing to the now open door, the wide eyes of the rest of the guys showed they'd heard it all. i didn't care, i wanted to take a shower and get into bed, forgetting that one of the biggest parts of my family isn't going to be there for the birth of my child..
