Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better

The Shining

It was getting closer to us leaving New York and I can't wait. I love Robyn and I love Robyn, hell, I even love my mom but she just pissed me off so much. I love Brooklyn but LA is my home now, my home with my husband.

I'm lying on my bed on top of the covers reading a book when my bedroom door opens. Rikki walks in and I put down my book and sit up. He sit in front of me and kisses my lips gently. I pull back and smile at him.

"What are you doing, baby?" He asks and I smile.

"Reading." I say. "Our baby need to be educated." I joke and he laughs.

Rikki picks up the book I was reading and laughs again.

"The Shining, what a book to start our child on." My husband smiles. "Remember when we watched this together? As I remember you were so scared you were almost sitting in my lap."

"I just wanted to be close to you." I try to cover and he laughs.

"That's not how I remember it, Bee." Rikki smiles.

"Well, it's how it happened, Rikki." I state and he laughs.

"Why don't we watch it then, babe? I'll protect you." He says and I smile.

"I love you but you don't need to protect me." I state and he grins.

"Let's try it then." Rikki challenges and I smirk.

"We have it in the basement." I state.

"Well let's go then." He says and pulls me up.

We walk down the stairs and see my twin and his soon to be wife on the living room couch watching cartoons. CC hears us walk down stairs and looks back.

"What's up, kids?" My twins wonders and Rikki shoots him a look.

"I'm older than you." My husband says and CC rolls his eyes.

"Just tell me you're not going down stairs to have sex." He says and my husband laughs.

"No promises." Rikki laughs and and hit his arm that makes him laugh harder. "We're going to watch The Shining."

"Okay, I'll allow it." CC says and I roll my eyes.

"Like you had a say to start with." I state and we walk downstairs.

Rikki

So I was right so the record. Bianca is sitting as close to me as she can to be without being on my lap. Her knees are pulled into her chest and she's watching the movie through her fingers.

"Want me to shut the movie off?" I ask.

"No." My wife answers stubbornly and I laugh.

"Are you just begin stubborn?" I ask.

"No." Bianca states and I smile.

"You are the most stubborn individual I've ever met." I say as I wrap my arm around her.

"Yeah? Well you married me." She says and I smile.

"That's true." I say and sigh. "Babe, if your scared we can shut the movie off."

"I'm not scared." Bee states and I smile.

"Okay, babe." I say.

Bianca

This movie isn't so bad, I mean it's kinda horrifying but I am not sitting in my husband's lap. I am not that scared. The end credits of the movie roll on the screen and Rikki looks at me.

"I told you I wasn't scared." I state and he laughs.

"You watched the whole movie from between your fingers, babe." Rikki says and kisses my temple. "Lots of people are scared of scary movies."

"I'm not scared of scary movies!" I state which makes Rikki laugh harder.

I cross my arms like a stubborn kid and move around from him. He tries to grab my hand and I love my hand away.

"Babe, come on. Don't act like that." He sighs. "You know I don't mean anything by it."

We sit at opposite ends of the couch in absolute silence for a while. I'm not going to lie I'm planning the asshole's death but that's besides the point. I see my husband smile out the corner of my eye. He grabs one of my feet and pulls me over towards him.

"I know you're mad at me so I'm not going to talk to you." Rikki states. "I'm going to talk to my kid." I look at him and he sighs. "Just lay down for me, please cooperate with me."

"Fine." I grumble and lay back so my head is on the arm of the couch.

My husband rolls my shirt up and puts his hand on my stomach. His drags his fingers across my stomach and he smiles.

"Hey baby, I'm your daddy. See I'm this awesome drummer and your mom is this awesome rugby player. Your mom is the smartest person I know, she's like drop dead gorgeous, and has the biggest New York attitude ever." He says and I scowl. "Even when she's pissed off at me I'm insanely in love with her."

I study him and my idiot husband smiles.

"You trying to get into my good graces through our child?" I ask and his grin broadens.

"Well that depends." He states.

"On?" I wonder.

"Is it working?" Rikki asks and I smile.

"Maybe just a bit." I admit as I sit up. "I love you." I kiss his cheek.

"I love you too, Bianca." He says and kisses my lips.

"Baby, what happens when you go back on tour?" I ask and Rikki looks at me.

"What do you mean?" He wonders and I sigh.

"We'll have a baby, Rikki." I say. "I'm scared and I don't want to do any of this alone."

"Bianca, you're going to be a great mom. I'm going to be there just some times I won't be as close as I want to be." He explains. "But I'm always a phone call away, I will stand up sixty thousand people because my wife is freaking out because our baby won't stop crying." Rikki laughs and I smile. "My ass would be on the next flight to Los Angeles, I bet your brother would be too."

"There'd be so many people pissed off." I say and he kisses my lips.

"Priorities, baby girl." Rikki says and kisses my nose. "You and our baby will always be my number one. The band comes second."

Some comes running down the stairs and CC stands in front of us.

"Ashley is on the phone with Jamie, Jilly is in labour." My twins says.

"She's not due until June." I say and he nods.

"We have to get back to LA like as soon as possible. This is dangerous, it's like  preeclampsia. Jamie said her and the baby could die." CC explains.

Jilly is having her baby? Two months premature? Her and the baby could die?

What if this happens to me? What if my baby dies?

One thing is for sure, we're on the next flight home.
