[17] Double Trouble

| Date : May · 13 · 80 | 3:51 AM | Henry's Pov:

Hearing the microwave go off, I walked towards the cabinet to get bowls for the popcorn. I brought the bowl back to Fleur and William, who was manspreading. I was able to convince them to watch Friday the 13th after multiple accusations of my DVD being a fraud. I sat down between them, putting my hand on Fleur's stomach.

Whether a bump was physical or not I still wanted to show the baby some security.

"Henry, did you so happen to have put.. seasoning?" William asked me, slowly eating another piece. "Seasoning in what?" I tried to laugh it off. William, however, still looked at me with a death glare. "The popcorn, Henry. You know I'm not a fool." 

I stared at him intensely. "..No?" I smiled, feeling myself sweat. William kept glaring at me, but he turned back to the television. Fleur started giggling as half of her popcorn was already gone. Suddenly, she paused. "Shit."

"What happened?" I panicked immediately, looking around. Fleur had a look of disgust and neutrality on her face. "I'm leaking, Henry. My water broke." She said, which William paused with his kernel dropping between his legs. He started laughing slowly, looking concerned.

"Henry, hurry up and get your bloody ass in the car, will you? It's going to get everywhere!" William shrieked, leaping off the couch. No wonder our highschool deemed him as the drama queen. I picked Fleur up from the couch and fled towards our car, putting in the key. I put a couple towels under her as I placed her in the back seat with some pillows.

I drove off into the night, hearing William yell behind me. He's just gonna have to suck it up and wait till I get back.

| 6:23 AM | William's Pov:

I scowled as I mopped the last bit of the house. I sighed, dropping the mop in the bucket. The house was beyond spotless, Henry should be happy I didn't go chasing his car. I picked up a small piece of paper and started to write with a pen.

Once I was done, I read over the note, snickering to myself. Perfect. I placed it near a frozen bottle of water, walking out of the door. I speed-walked myself towards my house, seeing the porch surrounded by beetles and ants. I started to groan, grabbing ahold of my arms. It's spring, yet during the night it wants to act like it's winter. How the hell could bugs survive here?

I opened the door with my keys, slamming it shut. Michael looked at me shivering. The thermostat was still the way I left it. I looked at the clock, and then at Michael. He must have seen the confused look on my face because he started to raise his eyebrow. 

"Michael, what are you doing? It's 6:47, you have school today." I growled, staring into his blue eyes. He shrugged, having his legs in a crisscross position. "I can just skip. I barely go anyway. You still need me to take care of Evan and Elizabeth, don't you?" He asked me, clearly trying to frustrate me.

As much as I wanted to make him go to school today, I have a meeting with Steven and Mariah about a promotion. As well as some work on the animatronics and both locations for new employees. Henry's maternity leave is going to increase my work load, it's not like I have a choice.

I sighed, putting my hand on his head. "Fine." I muttered, walking up the stairs. I still wondered what Michael was doing up, staring at the television. It wasn't even on. I could've been watching that movie Henry planned to watch with his fake DVD. I fell onto my bed, the box of ashes for my pet cat staring right at me. At last, my eyelids grew heavy, falling against my eyes.

Until the alarm started to ring.

"FUCKING HELL!"
