The Little Love

5. The Godparent Games

(A/N: the bit about tom giving the twins coffee is entirely fictional and part of my imagination. i'm very sure that he would never ever do such a thing.)

It is not unusual for any pregnant lady to feel a little emotional. The over active hormones during this time can make women feel a wide range of emotions in a brief amount of time. They might get happy, sad or angry in a matter of minutes. But, if they have two bickering best friends in front of them for the whole day, then they might get angry and stay that way.

"I am telling you darling, it is final" Tom says smugly, "I am the perfect choice for being the godfather of the baby. I have tons of practice. Hell, I almost raised my own brothers."

Harry shoots him a nasty look, "Have you completely forgotten about the time you gave us coffee when we were 5? Sam was so hyper that he almost jumped out the window."

"Ground floor window." Tom looks at you nervously. "And I only did it so that both of you will go to sleep."

"Enlighten me Thomas," Bianca begins sarcastically, "How giving two 5 year olds coffee will make them go to sleep?"

"They get hyper, and then they crash. There you go, two sleepy five year olds."

Bianca turns to you, "I am no expert when it comes to parenting, but that seems dangerous."

Now, usually, you enjoy these little banters. But getting no sleep the previous night, and then spending most of the morning throwing up, you were really not feeling it. So you say the only thing that comes to mind

"If both of you don't shut up then none of you will be the godparent." You grumble, trying to burrow yourself in the cushions.

You were not exactly as miserable as before, but not exactly very comfortable. And on top of that, Harrison had gone out, and had not yet returned.

Tom and Bianca had started their arguing since they learned about the pregnancy. You knew that it was a hard decision, you didn't want to upset your best friend, but you also didn't want to upset Tom. You had zero idea how you were going to make the decision.

Just as Tom began describing how squidward would make a better godmother than Bianca, you hear the front door open and close. Haz walks into the room, finding you all wrapped up in a blanket and lets out a laugh, hearing Bianca and Harry talk about how a monkey is better than Tom as a godfather.

"Hello there," he kisses the top of your head and sits down, putting your feet on his lap and starting to massage them. "How long have they been at it?" he nods at the bickering trio.

"Forever, I guess. Can you make them stop? I think I'm getting a headache." You close your eyes, hoping to fall asleep.

"Hey, HEY!" Haz yells at them, "All of you shut up and let her sleep."

Later in the night when getting ready for bed, you start thinking about what you were going to do about the godparent situation. Both of them seemed so invested in the idea, but you had to pick one and that would definitely upset the other.

"What are you worrying about?" Haz asks you as you get under the covers.

"The entire situation about Tom and Bianca. I don't want to upset any of them, but how are we going to pick one of them to be the god parent?"

"I knew this will happen, which is why I have the perfect solution. We hold a competition."

"A competition?" you look at him, puzzled,

"Yepp. It's simple really, there are three rounds, the winner of two rounds gets to be the godparent." He turns the lights off, pulling you into him, "Now go to sleep. We have to wake early to decide which dumbass gets to be the godparent."
