BMS goes Pro

Episode 9: Accident

It felt like Thad woke me up much too often to ask me if I was ready to have the baby yet. I'd had enough of it when he woke me up at 3am to ask me if it was happening. Okay, so I was beginning my eighth month, but he was getting out of control.

"Thad! Ask me again and I will strangle you with the goddamn umbilical cord!" I cried before turning over in my sleep. He was silent for a moment, and I knew he was about to say something stupid.

"What's an umbilical cord?" I slapped myself in the face. I should've seen that coming a mile away. Later on that morning, I sat down at the bar with my cereal, reading the paper as I heard Thad go into the other room and talk to Alex.

"What would you think if we got a hot tub, Thad?" Alex asked.

"I guess that would be cool." Thad replied.

"How would you want it?"

"Look, Moran." Thad began, "I like my hot tubs like I like my women; so hot that I can only stay in them for 30 seconds." I almost choked on my cereal as Alma came over and sat down beside me.

"Good morning!" She greeted as she looked at the paper, seeing Thad's photo in the paper. "Thad!" She pointed out.

Thad Castle: Father to-be

Our favorite football star, BMS's very own Thad Castle, is coming close to meeting his first child, Axel Castle. We talked to Castle and found out more about his son. We asked if Axel would be a part of the football program as he grew up. "I want him to grow up with football like I did, but I'll also be giving him something I never had, which is a father." We proceeded to ask Castle about his father, but he became too emotional and we could not interrogate him any further.

I looked up as Thad came over and sat down on the other side of me. I ripped the article out of the paper so I could keep it, and handed him the paper. He folded it up and leaned forward as he took my spoon and ate some of my cereal.

"Is the--"

"NO!"

"Okay then..."

"Stop eating my food!" I pushed him away as I took my bowl and spoon back. He got up and went into another room, where Sunny and Mikayla were discussing.

"Did you do it?"

"No, he did. He petted it lightly and the reaction was nice."

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!" Thad screamed at them, running in a different direction. He had no idea the two were talking about a baby deer Harmon and Mickey found and were trying to pet. They rolled their eyes and continued to talk like it hadn't happened. Alma looked at Thad and back at me as I drank the last of my milk.

"Thad look very tense." She commented while I texted a friend of mine.

"He's been on my nerves lately about the baby, asking me if it's coming every five minutes." I sighed as I set my phone down. I rested my head in my hands for a few moments when Harmon came over and tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up at him with an angered look.

"What?" I asked as he frowned.

"Yeah, uh, can you get your husband to stop humping my TV?"

"Why the hell is he humping your TV?!"

"Go ask him!" I got up and Alma followed me, we went in the find Thad humping Harmon's old tube TV. Harmon hadn't thought of a way to dispose of it yet, which is why he had one.

"Thad! What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted as he fell backwards, startled. He looked up at me innocently as he got back up, walking towards me.
