"Hi, I'm Brian May"

Twins turn 12

Lucy's pov- June 20th 1970.
It's the Twins' birthday today and Brian and myself are currently in the car going to my mums house for the twins birthday party. We said we'd go early to help prepare food and decorate the house. All their friends from their class are coming over and this will be the last time they'll all be together as it's the summer holidays next week and they'll be going to high school after the holidays and they will probably be going to about 3 different comprehensive schools around the area. The party starts at 12:30pm and it's currently 9:57am and we're 20 minutes away from mums house. I'm currently 7 months pregnant and it's very warm out and it's not comfortable and I end up looking like a sweaty whale by the end of the day. By the time we get to mums house it's twenty past ten and the house has balloons tied on the gate. Brian gets the presents out of the car and we wander into the house (Brian walks, and I waddle).
"Mum! We're here!" I shout resting against the wall. Mum comes out of the kitchen, looking flustered.
"Oh hello sweetie!" She says, putting an arm around my shoulder, avoiding my bump. She then goes over to Brian and hugs him (being the size of beanpole he is, she's able to hug him properly) and gives him a kiss on the cheek. I hear footsteps hurling down the stairs on the other side of the house. Emily pokes her head round the living room door, grinning.
"Lucy! Brian! You came!" She squeals, running to give me a hug.
"Of course we did! We can't miss you and your brother's birthday!" Brian exclaims, lifting Emily up, giving her a hug. Aw. Thats actually very sweet. Those two actually get on so well. I can't wait until our own little girl arrives and he can be like that with her one day. Brian puts Emily back on the ground and looks over at me.
"Talking of my brother, where is Ryan?" I say looking around the living room.
"I'm surprised you can't smell him from here!" Emily laughs. She's clearly very excited for her party, so she's very hyper.
"Hey, that's not nice!" Ryan shouts from the kitchen. We all laugh at his sudden outburst. I lower myself onto the sofa and beckon my brother over for a hug.
"Hello birthday boy!" I say, giving him a kiss on the head. He grins up at me. D'aaaww. I remember when he was very little and he still had the same little grin.
"Right, mother, what needs done?" I ask eagerly as I stand up. Mum chuckles and shakes her head.
"You, my darling need to rest a bit." She says to me. I roll my eyes.
"Mum, it's fine. I'll prep some food or something." I say. Brian cuts in.
"I can do banners and balloons and tidying and whatever needs to be done" Brian says.
"Great, thanks Brian, you can help me with balloons and banners" mum says leaving the room, Brian following her. I go into the kitchen and find Emily unloading food from the cupboards and fridge/freezer.
"Okay, what have we got here? Crisps, jelly, ice cream, angel delight, quiches, mini tomato bakes, sausage rolls, cocktail sticks and pretzels." I say, listing the items in the fridge and freezer.
"Mum also made sandwiches. They're in the pantry." Emily says, leaning on the kitchen counter. I take the mini tomato bakes out of the fridge, empty them onto a tray and shove them in the oven. "Remind me that they come out at ten to eleven. You'll probably remember." I tell my sister, pulling her into my side. I wander out of the kitchen, up the stairs and into my old room. From outside I can hear my mum directing Brian in the placing of a 'Happy Birthday' banner and balloons. I chuckle as I sink onto my bed. I look around my room, as memories of my teenage years come flooding into my mind. There's a box on my bedside table full of photos, so I pull it on to my lap and carefully lift out a pile of pictures. One by one, each photo is of me, in various places at various ages. I look at a photo of me when I was 11 and I'm holding my newborn baby sister. The next photo is of me sitting, eating an ice cream in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh about 15 years ago. 
"Anything interesting?" I look up to the door, where Brian is standing smiling. I smile and nod, beckoning him over with my eyes. He sits next to me, as I hand him the photo. He smiles at me.
"Where's that and how old were you?" He asks, putting an arm around my shoulder.
"Well, It says that this was taken on the 19th of July 1955, and it was taken in Princes Street Gardens. In Edinburgh, obviously." Brian's eyes widen and he laughs.
"My 8th Birthday. " He says, grinning. I smile up at him and hug him back, my bump nudging him as I do so. I just begin to lean in for a cheeky kiss, when the door opens and Mum stands there, looking slightly awkward.
"Oh, uhh, sorry, but I think you have something in the oven that needs to come out." She tells me. I can't possibly pass up this opportunity that has landed in the basket of comedic puns.
"Yes mother, obviously. But not for at least another 2 months yet.." I smirk as Brian groans and my mum chuckles and rolls her eyes. I arise from my bed in a rather unladylike fashion, but I'm 7 months pregnant, so I don't actually care.  I head downstairs and back into the kitchen, where Emily and Ryan are both sitting at the table. I pick up the oven gloves when suddenly I find them no longer in my hands. Brian I standing in front of me.
"You have a seat and I'll sort these out. Go on" he says as a plants a kiss on my forehead. Ryan makes a sick motion (with added sound effects. Thanks bro!). I take a seat at the table next to my mum, who has just sat down.
"Ow! That's...hot..". Brian yells. We all turn around and roll our eyes.

** 2 hours later **

Well, it seems as thought the party is now in full swing and all the children are currently engaged in a very competitive game of musical statues. Mum is looking out to see who's out, and Brian is busy starting and stopping a record by the who and I'm taking photos and giving out sweets to the kids that  are out of the game. It's a bit strange seeing all my little brother and sisters' childhood friends having grown up from the age of 3 till now.
"Oh, jack I think that's you out! You go and get a sweetie from Lucy." My mum says to one of the twins' friend, Jack. The little ginger haired boy comes up to me and I hold out the bowl of sweets to him.
"Go on, have two" I whisper to him. He grins and chooses a lollipop and a fruit salad chew. I smile, thinking about myself and Brian's future, and the fact that we'll probably be doing this in five or so years. It's also just been made very aware that the baby is pressing against my bladder and I need to pee. I give the bowl to mum and disappear upstairs to the bathroom. As I head up the stairs, I hear a quiet sobbing from the bathroom. I get closer and knock on the door.
"Hello? Is everything okay in there?" I call out. The door opens to reveal a little girl with dark brown hair.
"Hey, are you okay sweetie? It's sarah, right?" I ask the little girl. She wipes her eyes with her sleeve and nods slowly.
"What's wrong hunny? It's okay, you can tell me." I tell her. She looks terrified.
"I think I need to go to the hospital!" She explains, her voice riddled with panic.
"Why, what's happened?" I ask.
"I'm bleeding from the inside!" She whispers. I relax my face and shake my head and chuckle.
"No, sweetheart, I don't think you need the hospital. You noticed this blood when you went to the loo, right? Did you ever learn about menstruation in school?" I ask sarah. She shakes her head.
"Okay, well come in here."... I say leading her into my old bedroom.... " okay so for a week every month, you bleed from what's called your uterus. That's the space that babies grow in. Like this one. My baby is growing inside my uterus. Every month, one egg gets released from a Fallopian tube, which is attached to the uterus. If it's not fertilised, to be made into a baby, then the uterus' wall shreds, that's the blood, and the egg, along with the uterine lining. And that's what's called a period. Here,"... I explain, standing up. I go over to my bookcase and get out a book all about puberty. Oh the joys. I hand Sarah the book and open it at the page where it explains all about the menstrual cycle.
"You read through this, and I'll be back in a minute." I say, going to the bathroom for my pee. Once I'm done, I reach into the bathroom cabinet and bring out a sanitary pad and a tampon. I return to sarah, in my old room and find her reading. I hand her the sanitary items and explain to her how to use them. She then goes into the bathroom to presumably use them. I sit on my bed as I hear a soft knock on my door. It's Brian.
"Hi sweetie. Are you okay, you've been a while?" He asks.
"Yeah, great, I just explained the menstrual cycle to a 12 year old, who's just started hers now. How about you?" I chuckle.
"Oh.. Well, um.. okay. We're going to bring out the cake in 2 minutes, so you wanna come downstairs?" He asks me, extending his hand, pulling me up.
"I love you, you know that?" I tell my fiancé.
"I love you too, dear!" Brian chuckles, kissing the top of my head.

Five hours later, the party is well and truly over. The twins are bung full of sugar, sweeties and cake. They have a large pile of opened gifts each, and they are both having a weird sugar high.
"Are you sure you don't need any help with the dishes? Or tidying up?" Brian asks my mum.
"No, you two have been more than helpful today. You get home. Relax. And you take care, okay. You're gonna pop any month now, so be careful. Don't strain yourself okay?" Mum says. I roll my eyes and chuckle.
"Hey, mum. Chill, please. Hey, did you know that Brian's band is playing a gig next month. Isn't that cool?" I ask mum, diverting the question. Mum nods and hugs me goodbye.
"Bye sweetie. EMILY! RYAN! Come say goodbye to your sister and Brian!" She yells up the stairs. My brother and sister run down the stairs and straight into my arms.
"Happy birthday my sweeties!" I exclaim. I can't believe that they're finally twelve. I give each of them a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye Lucy! Bye Brian!" They both say.
As we leave, it begins to rain lightly. Myself and Brian reach home at about 9:25pm and we both flop into bed, in a tired fit. Oh lord.....
