Stayin' Alive

Home sweet home

When we finally got home I spent the weekend washing clothes. I was grabbing the ironing board one day when Barry rushed in.

"Woah, woah, woah. What are you doing?" Barry asked taking it from me "I'll do that while Linda's out with Rose"

Barry took the ironing board into the living room before grabbing the basket of clothes. I tried to busy myself as I was bored but no one would let me do anything.

"Your exactly 5 months pregnant and I'm not letting my pregnant fiancé do anything but rest" Maurice objected getting me my usual drink

"What do you want me to do?" I asked

"It's September and hot, sit outside with your guitar or a book and enjoy yourself" Maurice replied ushering me out of the kitchen

I grabbed both my guitar and a book and went and sat outside. I did understand why Maurice sent me to sit outside because it's a hot September day that we haven't had in a while. Robin was splashing about in the swimming pool as Maurice came out. He took a seat next to me while handing me the drink. Barry then came out, Maurices shirt over his shoulder and iron in hand.

"I hate to alarm anybody but Jerry is eyeing up the house like he wants to do something to it" Barry informed

Robin was out of the swimming pool in seconds as him and Maurice ran inside. Me and Barry followed but I rushed upstairs. I ran out onto mine and Maurices bedroom balcony that is over the front garden. I watched Jerry walk around the front garden as Maurice and Robin tried to get him to leave. I found a water balloon Maurice was plotting to drop on Robin at some point. I lent over the balcony barrier and dropped it on Jerry. I dived back before he could see me. I heard him shriek as I fell about laughing.

I glanced over the barrier to see Jerry produce a sharp kitchen knife. I watched him go for Maurice so I threw a small amp I could find over the barrier. The amp was some cheep one I bought years ago and has never worked. It knocked Jerry out before smashing on the floor. Maurice looked up and gave me a thumbs up. I rushed downstairs as we shut and locked the door.

"That was close" I said going into the kitchen

"A little too close" Barry replied

Then there was another knock on the door. We all froze before i braved myself for going to check who it was. As i opened the door Dan stood smiling at me.

"God i thought you were someone else" I said hugging him

"Its just me" he replied closing the door

"Its only Dan" I shouted to the lads

The all seemed more relaxed as they went back to what they were doing. Dan chatted to the lads while i went to take a nap. As i laid down on the bed one of the twins chose that moment to kick for the first time. The pain wasnt too bad but i was a litte surprised at their strength.

"MAURICE" i shouted

I heard him come thungdering up the stairs and come bounding into the room.

"Yeah" he said out of breath

"They just kicked for the first time. And its not stopping" I replied

Maurice came and sat down on the bed next to me. resting his hands on my bump. We looked to each other before smiling then leaned in and let our lips meet.

"Just four months" i said as we parted

Maurice smiled widely at me before kissing my temple and clambering off the bed. He left the room, shutting the door after him so i could sleep. I couldnt wait until the kids were in the world. I hoped that Ziggy would be just like Maurice and Willow be just like me. I would alwasy protect them from Jerry no matter how much it taks, i want to keep them safe. Always and forever.
