Tom and his group just got back home after a long day.They parked the cars in the garage and the hum of the engines slowly faded away .The garage had a death silence.As they got out their cars the echo of the door slamming shut was heard and then it was quiet again.They went inside and the warm of the house welcomed them.Tom relaxed his body as he went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer.As he drank he got out of the kitchen and stopped in front of the stairs.With a sigh he hesitated at first and then went up the stairs .His loud steps echoing on the hallway.Shortly he was in front of her room door.His hand now was met with the cold of the door handle.Tom opened it and the hallway light fell into the dark room.He made his way slowly and quietly to her side were she was sleeping peacefully.
He saw her.How calmed she was.Then his eyes saw how much her belly grew .With hesitation he put his hand on her baby bump and he don't know why but his heart was covered with a wave of happiness and warmth.
In that moment she changed her position making Tom back away.He grabbed the blanket and covered her up.He closed the door quietly behind him
"What is this feeling that I am feeling .I'm not so sure about ,,He asked himself as he looked up at the hallway light.
He went downstairs and into the living room were he found Bill sitting on the couch .He approached him and sat next to him .Tom leaned his head on the couch as the muscles on his body were relaxing.He still had the beer in my hand and took a sip.Bill looked at his brother and noticed the strange look on his face.As he raised his eyebrow he asked curiously.
"What's with the weird look on your face?"
Tom gave Bill a fast look and then looked at the ceiling again shook his head as he let out a sigh."I don't know,I just ...I was checking up on her to see if she was asleep or not and when I saw her baby bump and gently brushed my hand on the bump...All out of a sudden I felt a wave of I don't know love?Happiness?...I just don't know but my in my heart I felt warm and good...I just don't know "
Bill looked at Tom ,listened to him carefully,he leaned his head back on the couch and said"Are you catching feelings for her,Tom?"
Tom's eyes widened as he looks away from Bill,avoiding his gaze for a moment before replying"Don't be stupid Bill.She's ...she's just caring my child.The one who will take my place when it's old enough "Bill smirked and shook his head at Tom .He knew his brother to damn well to know he was lying."You like her don't you?Tom the most cold hearted one is warming up to someone and falling in love"
Tom's eyes widened at Bill's stupid words"What ?No!I...I can't fall in love with her or anyone!I can't have soft spots "Bill shook his head as he chuckled at Tom"And?Why does it matter?Doesn't change the fact that you are coming attached to her.You are falling for her"
Bill looked at his brother with a smirk"You've got it bad, don't you? Just admit it, you are starting to be attached to her"Tom looked at Bill and rolled his eyes at him.Tom still fought with how he felt. He had always been the emotionless, cold-hearted twin. He had no room for feelings or love. Bill was the caring one in their relationship. Bill often thought more with his heart as opposed to Tom who thought with his head first.
Bill saw how Tom didn't want to continue this conversation anymore and thought to change the subject."So we finally got some time to take a break what do you think on doing?"
Tom leaned back on the couch and let out a sigh"I don't know. Got any ideas?"They didn't know what to do with their free time.They were always working .
Bill smirked at his thoughts "I was remembering our old times how we would have fun.And I remembered when we went to ice skate.What if we go there tomorrow?"
Tom looked at Bill first thinking that he was joking but he wasn't."Bill we are grown ass man.We are a gang .Why the fuck would we go ice skating ?"Bill rolled his eyes at Tom and how boring and serious he had became"For fun. Come on, it'll be fun. We haven't done something silly like that in years. We need to loosen up sometimes,"Tom groaned in annoyance at Bill stubbornness
"We don't 'need' to do anything. We're grown men like I said. I think the last time we went ice skating.. was when we were still in our teens,"Bill pouted and gave his brother puppy dog eyes
"Please, Tom. Can we just have a fun day together for a change? Come on, don't be a stick in the mud,"
Tom stared at Bill for a moment before letting out a defeated sigh. He never was able to resist when Bill used puppy dog eyes on him."Fine, fine. We'll go ice skating,"
Bill's face lit up with excitement.
"Great! It'll be fun, I promise and I want her to join us"Tom raised an eyebrow and looked at Bill."Her? You want her to join us? Why?"Bill shrugged and smirked as a response
"Why not? It'll be fun. Plus, she could use some fresh air. She's been locked in that room ever in since we brought her here,"Tom looked at Bill still not believing him."Why?She's nothing but a pain in the ass.Why do you care so much about her in the first place?"Bill scoffed and gave Tom a disapproving look
"She's not 'nothing but a pain in the ass'. She's a human being. A female who happens to be pregnant at that. I want to make sure she gets her fresh air and can move around a little,"Tom rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it. You want to pamper her. Fine, we'll bring her along. But don't blame me if she complains the whole time,"Bill chuckled and gave his brother a pat on the back."Relax,Tom. It'll be fun. I'm sure she'll enjoy it. So don't ruin the damn mood,"
Tom grumbled under his breath and leaned back in his chair
"Yeah yeah, I won't ruin the mood. I still think she'll complain the whole time though. Hell,I hope she'll not fall and break her damn hip,"
Bill burst out laughing at Tom's remark
"God, you're such a negative shit. She's pregnant not crippled!"Bill couldn't believe how Tom could be so negative "So it's settled tomorrow we will go ice skating"Tom groaned in annoyance"Yeah, I guess so. I can't believe that I'm a grown ass man going ice skating again after so many years..."He muttered to himself.
