Chapter 2

I got home from my doctor appointment and went straight to my room for the night. My mother left dinner at my door. Other than that I talked to no one. I took a picture of my ultrasound and made it the background on my cell. I noticed that something was different with my phone. I looked through everything and found the something new.

I had 4 new contacts. It was the cell numbers of Jimmy, Brian, Zack, and Johnny. I smiled happy they were there. I sighed, got dinner, ate, put the plate outside the door, and went to bed.

I woke to my alarm clock blaring and sighed as I turned it off. I did my normal routine and went to school. My mother was looking out the window nervously. “Matt maybe I should take you today. There are so evil looking boys in our driveway.”

I walked over and looked out the window at the evil looking boys. I laughed in shock to see Jimmy and the guys. “It’s ok mom. They’re my friends.” I grabbed my water bottle from the fridge and walked outside. “Hey guys. How did you find out where I lived?”

Jimmy smiled. “You’re the only Sanders in this town.” I nodded and laughed. “So we came to walk you to school today. Hope that’s ok?”

I smiled. “Sure is. You know you guys scared the living crap outta my mom. She thought you might attack me.”

Johnny looked over. “Why is that?”

I sighed. “Well... ok you better not say anything jerky while I tell this or I will park my mom’s SUV up your asses.” They all nodded. “Well it’s kinda the reason I moved here.” I touched my belly. “Back where we used to live... My baby wasn’t created outta love. I was gang raped by jocks and got pregnant. Mom says we moved cause she got a promotion but I know that is a lie.” I noticed the guys weren’t at my sides anymore. I turned and saw them all frozen in place about 5 feet back. “Guys?”

I walked back to them and was immediately put in the middle of a group hug. Brian was crying and Zack was just shocked. “Matt we are so sorry to hear that!” Jimmy said in remorse. I smiled at them and nodded. “We will make sure nothing like that ever happens to you here ok?”

I knew then that I had good friends. “Thanks guys. Really, but you don’t have to. Mom made me take self-defense classes before we learned about the baby.” Johnny snorted. “What?”

“They didn’t help you too much yesterday did they?” I glared at him. “Well they didn’t.”

I glared again. “Charge me.” He looked dumbfounded. “Charge at me. Come on. Or are you afraid that the pregnant boy might kick your ass.” That set him off. He ran out me and I immediately grabbed his hand and flipped him over onto his ass. He tried to come at me from behind and I did the SING maneuver. I elbowed his solar plexus, slammed my foot down on his instep, shoved the palm of my hand up against his nose, and kneed his groin. He immediately fell to the ground in pain. The other guys sat there laughing their asses off. “What?” I asked in general.

Jimmy wiped his eyes. “You’re the first person to ever kick little shit’s ass.” I felt proud at that moment. “Hey little shit you got your ass kicked by a pregnant guy!” I started laughing myself then grabbed Johnny’s hand and yanked him up onto his feet.

Johnny pulled is hand away once he was standing. He growled at me and walked off. Jimmy looked over. “Great... Little shit is having another mood. Well there goes practice today.”

I got curious. “Practice?”

Jimmy nodded. “We started a band. We have everything but a vocalist. Anyway we’ve been practicing every day for the past 4 or 5 months give or take a week.” I nodded. “Wanna watch us today?”

I nodded. “Sure sounds fun Jimmy.” The guys all nodded. We sighed as we heard the bell rang. We walked in and went to our various classes. During study hall I sat working on my laptop when someone tapped my shoulder kinda roughly. I turned and saw lord of the jocks. I looked around and noticed the staff gone... I knew his life was over then and there. I smiled. “Hello again.”

The jock forced me outta my seat. “So you think it was funny to let them beat us up huh? Well you still have initiation waiting. Maybe I should give it to you now.” I noticed he was squaring up to hit me. Now that I was prepared all the self-defense classes ran through my mind. Right as his fist was about to hit me I ducked. I grabbed the back of his head and banged it down on the table while I kneed his stomach. I backed away from him and waited to see what he would do next.

Sir Jock stood wiping blood from his forehead. “Oh you got lucky that time. You will never be lucky again.” He charged at me. At the last second I moved out of the way and he ran into a wall head first. He was getting angrier and angrier which was making him lose focus. I watched him try to collect himself. When he charged at me again I grabbed his wrist and forced it behind his back. He momentum popped his shoulder outta the joint with a loud popping sound. I let his arm go and kicked him forward with my foot. He ran into a bookshelf and knocked it over.

And of course at that moment a teacher walked in and completely misinterpreted everything. Sir jock, who I learned is named Randy, was lead to the nurse and I was sent to the principal’s office. I sat down and the teacher who caught us stood behind me to prevent me from bolting. Principal Baker walked in and tsk’ed at me. “Matthew... You’re only on your second day and already you’re causing trouble.” She waved the teacher out after hearing what they had to say.

“I am not causing trouble. I am defending myself and preventing my baby from being killed!” she looked at me confused. “Yesterday I was walking home when Randy and a few other kids stopped me. They said that since I am new I need an initiation. They were gonna punch my stomach but Jimmy and his friends saw it and stopped him. Then I was in the library and he comes up saying I was getting my initiation then and there. It was either kick his ass or let him kick mine and I lose my baby.”

She nodded. “Well there is one way to see if you’re lying or not.” She stood. “Come with me.” I sighed and went with her back to the library. She went onto the librarian’s computer and pulled up the files for the cameras. She clicked on the camera that showed me clearly and we watched it. I smiled when I was proved innocent and Randy was expelled from school and kicked off the football team indefinitely.

At the end of the day I met Jimmy and the guys in the courtyard. Johnny seemed calmer but still looked like an ass. I sent a text to mom that told her I was hanging out with friends and she said it was ok.

Jimmy led us to his house and into the garage. There was his drum set. I gasped in shock seeing it. Brian went over and grabbed his guitar which hung on the wall. Zack got his bass and Johnny got his own bass. Jimmy got me a stool to sit on and smiled. “Relax.” I thanked him and sat down. Jimmy sat behind his drums and set the beat for everyone else.

I watched them play for a while. I saw lyrics for the song they were playing not too far from me. I picked it up and started singing along with them. I didn’t notice they had stopped until I finished singing. I blushed immensely. “Sorry.” I set it aside.

Jimmy stood and walked over. “Matt... Wow that was, wow.” I smiled. “Um... wanna try it from the top?” I nodded in agreement and they started again once Jimmy got back to his seat. I picked up the sheet again and once Jimmy gave me a cue I sang it on my own. When it was done I felt like I found my calling you know? Jimmy smiled. “Guys we have a vocalist.”

I was shocked. “Are you sure? I mean you just met me...” Brian laughed and I chucked my now empty water bottle at him. “Shut up Haner.” I laughed some. I agreed to be the vocalist for them after only being friends for 1.5 days. I must say it is one of the best days of my life. But when my baby is born it will trump it.

Jimmy smiled. “So Mr. Matt. Welcome to the band.” I smiled at him. “The name is Avenged Duck.” I burst out laughing on the spot. “What?”

I tried to catch my breath. “Jim, no one will listen to a band called Avenged Duck.” I smiled and laughed more. “Why not go with Avenged Sevenfold?” the guys thought it over then murmured in agreement. I smiled. “This is so cool! I am part of a band!” I felt like a dweeb saying that but it is so cool! 

Chapter 3

So today I reached the 4.5 month mark... Yippee. And of course I had to not fit into my pants anymore. Did the baby have a growth spurt overnight? I mean my pants fit yesterday. Now I sit on my closet floor crying. My phone buzzed and I grabbed it. “Hello?” I said all sniffles. 

“Matt where are you? We’re waiting at the stop sign and you haven’t shown and school starts in 10 minutes.” I sniffled again. “Hey what’s wrong?”

“None of my pants fit!” I said as I cried again. “They fit yesterday and now I can’t button any of them! The damn kid had a growth spurt overnight!” I heard Jimmy telling the guys to go ahead to school he’d see them later. “I’m fat Jimmy!” I said in a rush of tears.

“Mattie you’re no fat at all. You’re pregnant. That is normal. The baby is growing which we all know is a good thing. Just take a deep breath and relax. What size pants did u wear yesterday?”

“13.” I said in a whimper.

“Ok. Not a problem. I am 2 pants sizes bigger than you.” I heard a door open and close on his end. “So let’s see what I have here.” I listened intently to what he was doing. “Ah! Perfect! Alright now do you need a shirt or no?”

“No just a pair of pants to cover my fat ass.”

I heard Jimmy sigh. “Didn’t I just tell you that you're not fat?”

“Yes but you could be lying.” I pouted as I looked at myself in the mirror. I had gotten off my position on the floor and gone to the full length mirror on my closet door. “Jimmy I swear I am fat!”

“Matt pregnant and fat are two different things. Fat means that you continuously gain weight due to unhealthy habits and tons of junk food. Pregnant means you get bigger in the abdominal and chest area as the baby gets bigger. Your body is preparing to care for a child once said child is born.” I heard a door close on his end again. “Now there is no such thing as pregnant fat. That is not possible.” I smiled listening to him. “I say that you are the sexiest man I ever met. If not for the baby inside you I would be taking you on dates and taking you to mount hump.” I laughed some. “Now open your front door and let me in.”

I looked out my window and saw him standing there with denim pants hanging over his arm. He waved at me and I hung up my phone to run down to let him in. I completely forgot I was standing there in boxers and a t-shirt. “Well, if I knew you were gonna greet me this way I woulda worn cologne.” I looked myself over and blushed. I pulled the pants from his arm and put them on. I smiled in satisfaction when I was able to button them. I hugged him as I smiled and thanked him. “Alright we’re already late for school, come on.” I nodded and we went to school hand in hand.

By the time we got there we were 20 mins late for first period. I walked into class and my teacher glared at me. “Mr. Sanders. Why are you late?”

I felt embarrassed at that moment wondering what to say. I sighed. “None of my pants fit.” I said as I touched my belly. The other students laughed at me as I took my seat but I ignored them. Only a specific few know I am pregnant. I sat in my seat and got out my book. I attempted to pay attention but my cell buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out enough to look at it. It was a text from Jimmy that read. <i> I just thought of something. You are the first person to ever get into my pants.</i> I laughed silently at his joke. I made a reply that read <i> Well I must say it is very roomy.</i> and sent it back to him.

Later at lunch I met the guys at our table. As I sat down all but Jimmy started laughing. “Is there some joke I should know about or are we just laughing at the hormonal pregnant kid for no reason?”

Brian was the first to speak. “You’re wearing Jimmy’s pants.”

“Yeah? So? Mine don’t fit. I have to go shopping. What is the point of this joke?” I glared at them. “And remember I am hormonal right now so one wrong sentence and will tie your dick in  knot.” They all shut up immediately. Jimmy scooted closer to me and I leaned against his side. Ever since I met Jimmy last month I have started to fall in love with him.

Jimmy put his arm around me. “Ignore those blowhards. They know nothing about anything. All they care about is who has a larger dick.” I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. I sighed and snuggled into Jimmy’s side more. I was more relaxed in his hold then I have been since I was in the safe cocoon of my mother’s womb.

I sighed and just watched all the guys bantering about various things. When the bell ran I sighed and headed off to class with a hand on my belly trying to let the baby know I cared about it. During the rest of the day I had to use the bathroom seriously 10 damn times! I think the baby likes using my bladder as a pillow.

As I walked into my driveway I noticed something was different. I have no clue what but it’s something. As I walked into the house I learned what it was; the house was too quiet. I looked in each room and found a note that read:

Matt,

Dad and I went shopping be back by 8 at the latest. If later we’ll call. If you get hungry there is left over sausage links in the fridge from breakfast. Just try to relax and enjoy yourself.

Love mom. 

I sighed and wondered what to do. I went to the fridge in search of the mentioned sausage as my stomach growled. I just pulled out the plate when my cell ran. I heard the ringtone and knew it was Jimmy. I took the phone out and put it on speaker. “Hello Mr. Sullivan. What can I do for you today?” I set the plate and phone on the table as I sat down.

“Well I remembered you were gonna go shopping for new clothes today and was wondering if I could join you.” I noticed Jimmy sounded desperate. “Well sure... but no one is home to drive me anywhere... mom and dad went off somewhere to shop for god knows what.” I bit into a piece of sausage and moaned at the taste.

“Well I bet my dad wouldn’t mind if I took the car and drove you.” I was shocked. Did I hear him right?

“You can drive? Since when?”

“2 years ago. I’m 18 Mattie. The only reason we are in the same grade is I was help back a few times in middle school. I have a license and everything.” I heard the pride in his voice.

“Alright, just let me call my parents and ask them ok? I’ll call you back in a few alright?” I heard his grunt of approval. “TTYL.” I hung up and sighed. I was too lazy to dial mom’s number so instead I did this: “Call someone.”

“Say the name or number of the person you would like to call.” The robotic phone voice said.

“Mom.”

“Did you say mom?”

“Yes.”

“Calling mom.”

I sighed and listened as the phone rang on mom’s end. “Hello?”

“Hey mom it’s me. Question, do you care if I let Jimmy take me to the store to buy new clothes? I had to wear a pair of his pants today so I could go to school.” I nibbled on my sausage.

“Well... I guess it’s ok. What is his cell number Mattie? I wanna talk to him first.” I looked up Jim’s number and gave it to her. “I’ll call you back ok?”

“Yeah sure mom. Love you.” I sighed as I heard her hang up. I sighed and wondered what she was telling Jimmy. My phone rang and it was Jimmy. “Hello sexy. What did mom say?”

Then I heard mom. “SEXY?! Matthew Sanders!” I gasped and blushed.

“Matt you didn’t give me the chance to say this is a 3 way call...” I put my head on the table in embarrassment. “Matt?”

“Shoot me please before I die of embarrassment.” Jimmy laughed a little.

“Well we figured you should know I will be there to get you in about 30 minutes. Your mom also has rules for us hence the 3 way call.”

I sighed as we listened to mom’s rules. “Mom no offense but shut up. I can’t do anything dumber than get pregnant. Jimmy I’ll be in the garage.” I hung up and took my sausage with me to the garage. I sat on dad’s work bench as I ate. When I heard a car coming I pushed the button to open the door and smiled as Jimmy waved. I hopped down and waved back.  I pushed the button on my way out and hopped into his car. “So where are we going exactly?”

“Anywhere you want. If you wanna go to a paternity store we’ll go there. If you just wanna but pants in bigger size at Wal-Mart we’ll do that.” I nodded and buckled my seatbelt.

“How about Wal-Mart? I mean I don’t need paternity clothes yet. I am only 14 weeks.” I put a hand on the bump housing my child.” I noticed Jimmy was quiet, I looked up at him. “You ok?”

“Matt... Can I feel your stomach?” I nodded and lifted my shirt to give him a better experience. I noticed his hand felt cold as it touched my belly. I fought the urge to recoil back from his hand. He smiled wide. “That is so cool. It’s firm yet soft... How is that possible?” I shrugged. “That is awesome.”

Chapter 4

It is now July, the fourth to be exact. School ended a few days ago and I reached my 5^th month today. I am finally a sophomore! When school starts again I am gonna be 7 months pregnant... God I am gonna be fat as a whale. Also I learned something interesting a few days ago, seems I am having twins. The second baby was hiding behind the first. So now I will have to gain 2 times the weight than before and then there is the fear of the babies coming early like most multiple births do.

Tonight Jimmy, the guys and me are going to watch the fireworks. We’re gonna leave a while later so that we don’t have to worry about not being in a good spot. Jim says he is bringing a huge ass blanket for all of us to sit on, on the hill over the lake. In truth I kinda wish it was just Jimmy and I going so that we could be alone but hey the others are my friends too. I even go as far as to think of Brian, Zack, and Johnny as brothers. But Jimmy, he is a whole different animal. Jimmy is the alpha male, Jimmy is the pack leader, Jimmy is the one man I want to love and hope he loves me back.

Jimmy came to pick me up at 6 in his dad’s car since walking has become treacherous if I go too long. My feet swell up and hurt like no tomorrow. As I got into the car I was glad to find the AC blasting already. As I put on my seatbelt he reached over and gave my stomach an affectionate rub. You know other than my parents and my doctor, Jimmy is the only person I let touch my stomach. I don’t even let the guys but they haven’t asked either.

Once my belt was buckled and in a position that it wouldn’t irritate my stomach Jimmy drove off. We got to the spot to find the guys waiting for us horsing around. I gasped as I saw Brian push Zack down onto his butt but said nothing else. When we got out of the car Jimmy went to the trunk for the blanket. When he laid it on the ground I was in total awe. He was right; the thing is huge enough for a giant to lie on and still have room to wrap it around themselves. I laughed. “Jim where did you get this thing? Giants are us?”

“Actually... I helped my great grandmother make it 5 years before she died. She gave it to me on her death bed.” He smiled up at me. “Now come here I’ll help you sit down.” I walked over to him and put my arms round him. He slowly leaned forward as we waited for my butt to make contact with the blanket. Once it did I sat Indian style. I was shocked when Jimmy sat behind my with his arm wrapped around me so his fingers could rub my stomach. “Now you three, get anything on this blanket and I will force you to make me a new one. Got it?”

Brian glared. “Why do we get the warning but lord hormonal doesn’t?”

“Because I love him and care for him. You three are brothers, Matt is more than that.” I blushed at that and looked at my belly to prevent the guys from seeing. “Also I know if Matt makes a mess on the blanket it won’t be intentional. I can’t say the same about you three.”

I heard a firework go off as people prepared. It was dusk, still too light to see them but I knew it would start soon. I sighed and leaned against Jimmy more, glad to know he felt the same for me as I felt for him. I pulled his arms around me more so that his hands made full contact with my stomach instead of just fingertips. I saw the troublesome threesome sit side by side on the blanket but not close to Jim and me. I wondered if that means they hate me now...

Finally at 7:14 the fireworks started. I gasped at the view. It was literally perfect. The sound was not bad at all and we had a clear view of everything. I sighed just leaning against Jim and watching the fireworks. I had just watched a blue and red firework go off when I got a real shock. Right as the loud boom sounded I felt the twins kick! I gasped and looked down at my stomach. I rubbed in proud affectionate circles. I felt Jimmy’s hair touch my ear as he leaned close enough for me to hear. “Are you ok?”

“You didn’t feel that?” I asked in desperation. “Please tell me you felt that!”

“Felt what? I didn’t feel anything Matt. I’m sorry.” I pouted as I got close to crying. “Mattie what is wrong? Talk to me what was I supposed to feel?”

I whimpered. “Just forget it... it’s nothing.” I had hoped Jimmy had felt the babies kick. It coulda been something to bring us even closer...

“Matt it’s about you so it’s important to me. What is bothering you my love?” he kissed my cheek.

“Well...” I drew designs on my belly. “The twins kicked and I hoped you felt it... but it seems only I did.” I sighed again in defeat.

“Oh Mattie that’s normal. Usually people that aren’t the mother can’t feel the baby kick until around the 6^th or 7^th month. It’s nothing to cry over. I will feel them kick one day. So it wasn’t today. But there are other times. I swear I will feel them kick before they are born.” He leaned forward and I turned my head as we kissed for the first time. I spun my whole body some so I could deepen the kiss. I moaned and started tongue dueling him so that I could get my tongue inside him mouth. I prevailed and smiled a little but kept kissing him.

I was reminded that we weren’t alone when Jimmy pulled away due to an empty water bottle hitting his head. “You know if you guys have a problem you can go sit somewhere else. I love Matt and he loves me. If you got a problem with that then get up and walk away now.” I was shocked when Zack stood and stormed off. “What about you two? Any complaints?” Brian and Johnny shook their heads. “Alright.” I went back to my previous position of lying back leaning against Jimmy as our hands rested on my stomach. 

Chapter 5

A few days later it came time for band practice and we noticed Zack didn’t show. In truth we haven’t heard from him ever since I walked away from us. I sighed. “I’ll try calling him.” I got off my stool that Jimmy caringly provides and walked to the mailbox at the end of the driveway for privacy. I was shocked when Zack answered. “Zack it’s Matt. Why aren’t you at practice?”

“Sorry I was gonna come today but my grandma is in the hospital. She fell and hurt herself pretty bad.” I noticed he sounded sincere. “It happened on the fourth... that was the reason I left that night. I’ve been helping grandpa. I am really sorry Mattie, I would be there, but I can’t. I gotta go.” The line went dead and I walked back to the guys.

I sat on my stool and sighed. “Well Zack is a no show. His grandmother got hurt and he’s helping his gramps out. So what do we do now?” I rubbed my belly as the twins shifted around. Jimmy sighed and walked out from behind his drums. “I mean we could go see Zack at his grandparent’s house right?”

Jimmy nodded as he came behind Matt and hugged him. “Yeah we can. Guys what do you say?”

Johnny sighed. “Sorry but no. Old people freak me out.”

“Brian?” me and Jimmy said together.

“Sure why the hell not. It won’t kill me and Johnny I am dragging you there even if I have to chain your ass to the bumper of Jimmy’s car.” I stifled a giggle at the imagery it gave me. “Well Johnny?”

“Fine, but you owe me tonight. I want more than heavy petting.” I was shocked. We had no idea Brian and Johnny were dating!

“Whoa back this fucking train up! You two are dating?!” Jimmy said in wonder. “How the hell did I not notice that?!”

Johnny glared at him. “Unlike you and Matt we don’t confess our love each time we see each other and we don’t neck constantly either.”

I threw my water bottle at him and hit him it the head. I was glad it was mostly full. “Bite me for being in hormone overload and needing a release. Let’s see you 5 months pregnant with twins that kick your bladder 24 fuckin 7. Let’s see you handle having people always wanna touch your belly! Let’s see you do anything other than bitch, moan, and complain!”

Johnny smiled. “Well that is not a problem for me since I would never get pregnant. I physically can’t. My dad had that equipment removed the minute I shot outta his ass.” He said with a smile. “So thanks but no thanks. You enjoy your pregnancy, I am just gonna sit here and watch.”

Right before I could do anything Jimmy kissed my neck. “No hurting Johnny love. He’s not worth your time. And if you’re good I will give you a surprise tonight.” I turned to look at him with my hopeful eyes. “I promise you, you will get a surprise if you are a good boy all day while we’re around Johnny.”

I sighed in defeat. “Oh fine.... I’ll be good but only cause Brian will need him if he ever wants to be a mother.” Jimmy kissed my cheek and I sighed. “Brian do you have a leash and muzzle so he won’t bite the old people and give them asshole-itis?”

Brian laughed. “Sadly I don’t. I’ll just pull on his choker if he does.” I smiled and we piled into Jimmy’s car. I got the passenger seat as Johnny and Brian took the back. Once Jimmy started the car I leaned over and kissed him on the lips. We then left for Zack’s grandparent’s home.

I was shocked when we pulled up to the house. It was an old Victorian with crown molding and stone walkways. The foundation was old-fashioned stone and mortar. The windows all have curved tops to make a half circle. This house is literally like a fairy tale. I got out slowly as I admired the home. I noticed the flowers surrounding the house were becoming overrun but weeds. I looked at Brian. “Can you and Johnny save those lilies from the weeds please Bri?” he nodded and pulled Johnny towards the flower beds.

Jimmy and I went to knock on the door. The door was opened to reveal an old man with a cane. “Whatever you're selling I don’t want it now go away!”

He started to close the door. “Mr. Baker... It’s me, Jimmy Sullivan.” The door opened some and Jimmy smiled.

“Jimmy Sullivan... You got so big since I saw you last! How have you been?” he hugged Jimmy and I smiled. “Who’s your friend? Kinda portly isn’t he?” I gasped and backed up when he poked at my stomach with his cane.

“Mr. Baker please don’t do that. He’s not fat like you think. That’s my boyfriend Matt. He’s pregnant with twins.” Jimmy said as tears threatened to overflow from my eyes. “We came to help Zack. Can we see him please?” the old man nodded and closed the door in our faces. I immediately burst out crying. Jimmy put his arms around me. “Shh. It’s ok Matt. Don’t listen to Mr. Baker. You’re not fat at all. He’s just a senile old man. He’s 83 and seems to have forgotten his manners.”

I nodded right as the door opened. We looked to see Zack standing there. “Guys, hi!” he noticed my tears. “Shit... what did grandpa say?” Jimmy gave him the rundown. “Fuck... Matt I am sorry. Don’t take what he said to heart. He’s got Alzheimer’s and all that crap. It’s a miracle he remembers where he puts his teeth. Usually he has Granma to even him out but until he gets outta the hospital he has free reign... I tried to leash him to the railing but he ate through the leather.” He said with a smile. I burst out laughing. “There that’s better. So mind telling me why Johnny is pulling weeds outta a Lily bed?”

“Well you missed so much. We learned that Brian and Johnny are dating and Johnny agreed to help out here if Brian gave him more than heavy petting tonight!” Zack burst out laughing. “I wish you were there to hear it man. I really do. But anyway we decided to come help the best way we could. So I got them on flower bed detail. What do you want Jim and me to do?” Zack gave us random things and sent us off. And yes he gave me an easy chore... read to his grandfather... 

Chapter 6

A few days later it came time for band practice and we noticed Zack didn’t show. In truth we haven’t heard from him ever since I walked away from us. I sighed. “I’ll try calling him.” I got off my stool that Jimmy caringly provides and walked to the mailbox at the end of the driveway for privacy. I was shocked when Zack answered. “Zack it’s Matt. Why aren’t you at practice?”

“Well let’s see, could it be because you took away the man I love? The man that I seriously was gonna ask if we could start dating but then you moved into town? Maybe I don’t wanna be around you if you’re taking the man I love away from me.” the line went dead and I was shocked. I just started crying on the spot.

Jimmy must of noticed it cause next thing I know he’s behind me turning me so my head was against his chest. “Shh. It’s ok Mattie, don’t cry love.” I cried into his shirt for the next 5 minutes. When the tears finally ended he kissed my forehead and looked into my eyes. “What bothered you my love?” I wondered if I should tell him about what Zack said. Finally I gave in and told him. Jimmy sighed. “Fuck... Mattie I am so sorry my love. I’ll handle it ok?” I nodded pathetically and wiped my eyes. “Want to go to the movies then? We can bring Johnny and Brian... I know kicking Johnny's ass will make you feel better.”

I laughed. “Ok. We’ll go to the movies. But now I feel like shit for what I did to Zack. He loves you and I stole you away.” He kissed me. “I know, shut up Matt. I’ll handle it.” He nodded. “Shall we ask sir bitch a lot and Brian to come?” he nodded and we walked to the garage hand in hand.

Jimmy stood behind me once I sat on my comfy stool and put his arms around my middle. “So Johnny, Brian. Seems Zack isn’t coming for reasons that I will discuss later.” I knew he was trying to keep me from crying again. “So wanna come to the movies with Matt and me?”

Johnny sighed. “Sorry but no. I don’t like cramped stinky movie theaters.”

“Brian?” me and Jimmy asked together.

“Sure, why the hell not? We can see that new action movie. And Johnny I don’t care what you say. You are going if I have to chain your ass to the bumper of Jimmy’s car.” I tried to hide my giggle at the imagery I got in my head.

“Fine, but you owe me tonight. I want more than heavy petting.” I was shocked. We had no idea Brian and Johnny were dating!

“Whoa back this fucking train up! You two are dating?!” Jimmy said in wonder. “How the hell did I not notice that?!”

Johnny glared at him. “Unlike you and Matt we don’t confess our love each time we see each other and we don’t neck constantly either.”

I threw my water bottle at him and hit him it the head. I was glad it was mostly full. “Bite me for being in hormone overload and needing a release. Let’s see you 5 months pregnant with twins that kick your bladder 24 fuckin 7. Let’s see you handle having people always wanna touch your belly! Let’s see you do anything other than bitch, moan, and complain!”

Johnny smiled. “Well that is not a problem for me since I would never get pregnant. I physically can’t. My dad had that equipment removed the minute I shot outta his ass.” He said with a smile. “So thanks but no thanks. You enjoy your pregnancy, I am just gonna sit here and watch.”

I growled. “Don’t make me kick your ass again. I did it once I can do it again.” Johnny glared at me. I went to stand but Jimmy’s arms were holding me back. “Jimmy let me go!”

He sighed. “Mattie leave sir bitch a lot alone. He’s not worth a possible trip to the hospital if u get hurt. Just relax ok?” I sighed and calmed down. Once I did Jimmy released me.

At that moment I bolted up and grabbed Johnny’s nuts in my hand and squeezed. “Say anything like that to me again and I will make you a male soprano. Now I want you to apologize and mean it or I will squeeze so hard that your nuts will look like stepped on grapes.” Johnny nodded. “Say it!” I squeezed harder. His face was already red due to the pain. It just turned another shade of red.

“Johnny. If you wanna keep your nuts do as he says! Please! If not for me then for any children we might want.” Brian said desperately.

Johnny growled. “Fine. I’m sorry! Now let me go!” I relaxed my hand then gave one last squeeze and released. He fell to the floor in a heap holding his balls in pain.

I went to Jimmy and hugged him. “I’m gonna go to the bathroom then I’ll be ready to go ok?” he nodded and we shared a kiss before I walked off. I did my business then looked at myself in the full length mirror on the back of the door. I looked at myself from the size and was shocked to see how far out my belly reached. I was only 5 months and I look 7 or 8!

I sigh and rub my hand over my face. I look at my face in the mirror and notice that for once my Guy liner didn’t run. Maybe I finally found a brand that is tear proof. I gave my belly an affectionate rub and walked to the garage. I found Jimmy leaning on the hood of his car waiting for me. I noticed Brian and Johnny already sitting in the back seat. I smiled as Jimmy walked to the passenger side and opened the door for me. I kissed him again and sat down putting on my seat belt. He got in and we all drove off to the movies.

chapter 8

I woke up one morning to find Jimmy rubbing my belly and singing gently to the babies. He hadn't notice I was awake yet so I kept silent and watched as he sang to my children. He was singing lullabies to them and telling them Grimm Fairy Tales. At the moment he was telling them about Cinderella. He was at the point of the step sisters cutting off part of their feet to make the glass slipper fit. At that moment I knew that Jim was the best person to be the father to my babies. And I bet a ton of you are asking: "Well Matt what are you having? 2 boys, 2 girls, or one of each?" Well I can't tell ya cause I don't even know. I won't let the doctor tell me. 

I smiled. "Jim..." he looked at me like the cat caught eating the canary. I laughed. "That was very sweet, telling them stories and singing to them."

"You heard all that huh?" I nodded. "So my reputation as a kick ass bad boy is over?"

"No, you're a kick ass bad boy who has a gentle side when it comes to love and children." I sat up on my elbows. "Now I won't tell the guys on one condition." He looked at me eyebrow raised. "Come kiss me Jimmy."

He crawled up over my body and kissed me. My stomach was so full of baby that it touched his and he was only leaning over me. I put my arms round his neck and kissed back with a growl from deep in my throat. I pulled away laughing. "Did I just do what I think I did?" he nodded laughing himself. "Well I guess screamo music is good for things of the sexual nature then right?"

He laughed. "Seems so." He kissed me again until we both ran outta air. "Now you gotta shower mister. You have an appointment today with your mother. You promised her a birthday breakfast." I groaned having completely forgotten it. "Hey, no backing outta it. If you do this I might have a special surprise later tonight." I noticed that evil/sexual gleam in his eyes. 

"Ok my love. Can you start the shower for me? I'll be there in a minute. I gotta stand and undress." He nodded and walked off. I whistled as I watched his ass sway as he walked. He left but kept walking. After a few minutes I sat up and let the babies get comfortable before standing. I got into the bathroom to find Jim testing the heat of the water on his hands. I kissed him and we got into the shower together.

After a quick shower of Jimmy washing me I left him to shower himself. I dressed in black jeans that were about a size or 2 too big. I smiled as they buttoned under my belly. I had given up on wearing pants that went around my belly. I just buttoned them underneath it. I pulled on a shirt with the YouTube logo on it and went to find mom. I found her in the kitchen making coffee. That means she only woke a few minutes ago. I grabbed the carafe from her hand and put it in the maker. "Mattie... I planned on making that son."

"Yes, but birthday breakfast means you are relieved of that duty." She smiled at me. "Ok, so where do you wanna go mama? Ihop? Maybe that new diner?" she shrugged. "Go get dressed and I'll figure it out ok?" She nodded and I watched her walked off. I went and got a vitamin water from the fridge. I leaned against the counter as I drank some of it. 

When mom came downstairs I ended up taking her to Ihop. We had a wonderful birthday breakfast... Until some jerk had to ruin it. We were sitting there talking about random crap when this guy wearing all black walks over. "My, my, my, what do we have here? It looks like a heifer." He smiled and poked at my stomach. I growled and slapped his hand away. "What's wrong heifer? Don't like people to point out your fat?"

I slammed my hand down on the table as I stood. "Enough! Listen I don't give a shit what you think but I am not fat! I am pregnant! Now do me a hug favor and get outta my face ok?" the man laughed at me. "I mean it, leave me alone!"

"Aw heifer is defensive about his weight. Listen men don't get pregnant. Admit you're fat and I'll leave." I growled again. "Well I am waiting."

"I am not fat you cock fucking sucking prick! Now do me a huge favor and back off!" I sat back down and tried to ignore him. I sighed as the twins started kicking my ribs. Mom and I started talking when it happened.

"Listen kid. No one talks to me." the male pulled a switch blade from his pocket. I turned my head as I heard the famous Chink of the blade coming out. I looked at him my eyes wide as the knife stabbed into my stomach not once, but twice. I groaned in pain as the switch blade was pulled from my stomach. I bent over head on the table and hands on my stomach over the wounds. I didn't hear much around me as I blacked out.

Chapter 10

When I came to again my human pillow was gone. I looked around and saw my mother in a chair across the room. "Mom." She didn't move much. I grabbed a spare pillow by my feet and chucked it at her hitting her head. "Wake up!"

I laughed when mom attacked the pillow as if it was gonna kill her. Finally the pillow surrendered and fell to the floor. I smiled at her and she immediately ran to me. "Oh Mattie, I was so worried about you sweetie. I am glad you're ok." I hugged her close with a smile. "All your friends were worried about you honey. And I must say some of your friends are really scary looking Mattie." 

I laughed. "Oh and I look normal right?" she nodded. "Mom on a daily basis I wear so much manscara and guy liner that I look like a dead body. Right now I probably look human, but any other time I look like they do." She sighed in defeat. "So how have you been? I am guessing that was the worst birthday of your life huh?" 

"Not the worst. The worst was when you father was killed. This was a close second though." I sighed remembering when dad died. I was 4 and I remember mom holding me in her arms in the yard. Dad parked his car across the street. We were waiting for him in the yard like we did every afternoon. When dad got out of his car he dropped his keys. He closed the door and bent down to get them. At that exact moment a pickup truck was coming down the road. Well the person wasn't paying attention and hit dad. They stopped once they noticed what they did but it was already too late. It is the only memory I have before the age of 7.

"So mom how long before I can go home?"

"Well they wanna keep you for another few days they you can go home. They wanna be sure there are no more problems now that you're awake." I nodded. "Also a kid named Johnny asked me to give you this." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver necklace that was a pentangle. He said it would protect you." I gasped at the gesture. I had no clue Johnny was so sweet. I smiled and let her help me put it on. "Very nice." I smiled and we sat there together. 

A week later I was finally back home. I was lounging on the couch when the door opened to reveal Jimmy and the guys. I smiled. "Hi! I missed you guys some much" they all came over and hugged me gently. "Johnny thank you for the necklace." I whispered in his ear when he hugged me. I felt him nod then let go. Finally it was Zack's turn. "Zack, I'm glad you returned to us." He nodded. "Sit guys. Relax. Oh I got that new Halo game! Wanna play?" 

The guys laughed and nodded. Jimmy set it up and we played for a few hours. Every few seconds I would sneak up on virtual Jimmy and shoot him. It annoyed him but I was having fun! After a while we all just started banding together and kicking ass of the other players purposely shooting them. 

I was sneaking up on a guy to shoot him when I stopped in my tracks. I dropped my controller and put my hands to my stomach. "Shit." Jimmy paused the game and looked at me. He touched my arm gently with love, worry, and compassion. I noticed my shirt getting red as I bled through my gauze. "Jim get mom. The baby just popped one of my stitches." He nodded and ran off. The other guys flocked around me like mother hens. 

Zack lifted my shirt and put a few paper towels over the soaked gauze. "Breathe Mattie, you're alright." I whimpered as the baby kept kicking at my stitches. Mom whisked me off to the hospital to have my stitch replaced leaving Jimmy and the guys in my living room stunned and worrying. 

I got home again and found the living room empty. Mom helped me up to my room and we learned that is where the guys were hiding. They were all sitting in various places. Jimmy was on my bed, Zack sat in my computer chair, and Johnny sat in my bean bag chair with Brian in his lap. Jimmy immediately jumped up and helped me to bed. I laid on my side with him lying behind me. "So how bad is it Matt?" Brian asked me. 

"2 popped stitches. I had to get new ones put in that hurt like hell. But other than that I am alright. Doc says to avoid anything that can get the twins excited and make them kick at my stitches like that again." All the guys nodded. "So that means no Halo or crap like that til my wounds heal more." 

They all nodded. "Sorry to hear it Matt. We really are. If we had known... really we're sorry." Zack said.

"Zacky, don't act like that. It's not your fault that my babies decided to get their spunk back and kick my ass from here to kingdom come. They did what was natural to them which is kicking and moving. They don't know I was stabbed and that kicking in the wrong spot is dangerous. Now stop the pity Matt crap or I will come kick your ass."

They all nodded and congregated to my bed. We all laid/sat there as friends. 

~~~~

It was dark out; I was in an alley behind the school alone. I only saw things thanks to the single street light at the opening of the alley. I wanted to get out of the alley but something was pulling me to the back. I listened to the silent call of whatever was in the darkness. I walked back to find two old fashion rocker cribs. They were rocking back and forth. I walked closer and saw a blue blanket sticking outta one and a pink blanket outta the other. 

The blankets were monogrammed to say Sullivan on the edges I could see. Could this be Jimmy's children? I walked closer to look at the babies inside. As I got closer the babies started screaming. Then I saw an older version of myself walk over to them and pick them up. "Hush my angels." I said. "Mommy's got you." I saw myself smile as I picked up each baby and cuddled with it to calm it. I saw Jimmy come up behind me and put his arms around me. 

"Are they ok?" he asked. 

I nodded. "They were lonely."

He smiled and touched their tiny heads. "So adorable and so perfect. Just like their mommy." he kissed my head. The next minute I was looking down at the children in my arms. "Mattie why did you let them kill me?" I noticed my arms were now empty. My babies and the cribs were gone. 

Jimmy was lying in the corner on the floor in a pool of his own blood. I ran to him and kneeled at his side. I could feel my pants soaking up the blood. Again Jimmy said those 8 words that were like an arrow to my heart. "Mattie why did you let them kill me?" he started to decompose in my arms. "I thought you loved Mattie. But I was wrong." He said right before he became a pile of dust in my arms and before me. 

I started crying over the loss of the man I love. I then was pregnant again. I was on my hands and knees trying to deliver my child. I was pushing as hard as I could but nothing was happening. Then I felt something go into me. I was being raped while in labor. When I tried to look at my attacker I was shocked to see Jimmy. He was raping me with an evil sneer on his face. 

I was in excruciating pain and he was forcing himself into me over and over. No wonder pushing was getting me no where. Every thrust from him was pushing the baby back into me and preventing it from coming out. That was when he pulled a knife on me and plunged it into my stomach pulling it down to my pelvis. My babies fell out of me onto the hard surface I was kneeling on...

I woke up screaming as loud as I could. Jimmy put his arm around me and I pushed him away and scooted over to the wall. "Mattie it's me, Jimmy. You're having a nightmare. It's me love." 

I still pushed him away. "Don't touch us! I won't let you hurt them!" Jimmy looked at me with confusion and wonder. "Get out! Get out of my room right now!" he didn't move and I started kicking at him. "GET OUT!" finally he stood and walked out. I laid on my side in as much of the fetal position as I could get and cried.  

When time for breakfast came along I noticed Jimmy was no where to be seen. "Mattie, where is Jim? He's usually awake by now." I sat down and whimpered when the shifting babies pushed against my wounds. "You ok?" I nodded. "So is Jim sleeping in?"

"I don't know mom." She looked at me confused. "I don't know where he is mom... I think he took something I said too much to heart..."

She turned the stove off and walked to me. "What happened love? Talk to me." I told her all about my dream and what I said. "Oh... So Jimmy didn't understand that you were scared and just left?"

I sighed. "Most likely." I rubbed my belly sadly. "Mom, I can't believe I chased him away. He is the person I want to be with til I die and I chased him away. What does that say about me? I'm a first class asshole who deserves to be shot."

She gasped. "Oh Mattie, don't say that honey. You had a really bad dream. It is very common during pregnancy for your mind to run wild with ideas that would never even happen. When I was pregnant with you I always dreamed that you would be born with devil horns and a tail. Your mind is just messing with you Mattie. You just have to get Jimmy to understand that ok?" I nodded. "Now; how about you go call him. Breakfast won't be done for about 45 minutes anyway."

I nodded and went to my room for my cell. It was answered after 3 rings. "Jimmy, it's me."

"Why are you calling me? You told me to get out remember?"

Chapter 11

"Why are you calling me? You told me to get out remember?" Jimmy said in anger. "You are the one that said to get out. That you wouldn't let me hurt you or the babies. So do me a huge favor Matt, forget I exist ok? I am not gonna let another person treat me like crap. I thought you were different but I was wrong. You're just like everyone else. You just wanna use me and abuse me. So just fuck off, and throw out that ring. I don't want it back." The line went dead and I cried. 

I couldn't believe he said that to me. I love him and he just gave up on me without letting me explain. Then I did something I haven't done in a while. I called my old friend Rodney Song. I was happy that he answered. "Hello?"

"Rodney?" I asked still crying. "It's Matt Sanders... You probably forgot me by now but you were best friend and I need you right now..."

"Mattie, how can I ever forget you? What's wrong? You sound like you're crying." Rodney asked. 

"Cause I am crying. I just got dumped by the one man I truly love." I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at the ring on my left hand. I felt new tears come to my eyes at the sight of the skull ring. "Where do you live exactly? I know you moved to California... but where?"

"Huntington why?"

"Can you come to 157 Mason Road? Please it's my house and I really need a friend right now that I can trust." Rodney agreed and hung up his cell. I laid on my bed crying wondering what to do and how I was gonna live without Jimmy. I rubbed my belly gently as the babies kicked and tumbled. I heard someone knock on my bedroom door. "Come in only if you plan on being drowned in sorrow."

"Shit... Matt." I recognized that voice anywhere. I looked at the door where Rodney stood. He had no idea I am pregnant. No one at my old school knew. Rodney walked over to me and hugged me close. I whimpered as his belly pushed against mine and he immediately pulled back some. "What?! What did I do?"

"Easy... I was stabbed a month ago... still healing." He nodded and hugged me more gently. 

"Now what happened? Talk to me." I told him everything from how I got pregnant to what happened only 30 minutes earlier. "Shit... that is a conundrum." I laughed I had forgot how much of a nerd Rodney is. "Are you laughing at me?" I nodded some. "I see, well since you're pregnant I will forget it happened. But next time I might be forced to put you into a nerd induced coma." I smiled and sat up and invited him to sit by me. "So this Jimmy kid, he means a lot to you right?" I nodded. "Well then we have to find a way to let him now it was a fear induced blabber."

"Yeah but he won't talk to me Rod, he wants nothing to do with me anymore. He is right now probably moving on to date someone else. I am probably a faint fat memory in his mind." 

"Mattie you are not fat. You're carrying life. You're giving 2 people a chance. Now if you say you are fat one more time I will go into Scientifics that will prove you wrong and bore you to death." I looked at him and nodded. "Now this Jimmy kid, what brought you together originally?"

"Him finding me after I barfed in a bush." I laughed some. "It was... it is like we were meant to be, and yes I know that sounds totally dumb so don't ask. I just want Jimmy back. Can you help me?"

He nodded. "Most likely. I'll start a Jimmy search and once I find him I will figure something out ok?" I nodded. "Now how about you go relax. I am gonna go home and plot. And feel free to call me at any time. Day or night, even at 6 AM or 3 AM ok?" I nodded and he left. 

As weeks passed I reach the 6 month mark. My stabs were still healing at a pace that made me wanna scream. The polar ice caps move faster than this. I got the idea to write Jimmy and email and hope he read it. I logged onto my laptop and went online to Yahoo. 

Dear Jimmy, 

I know you said not to bother you anymore but I thought... I hope that you read this to let me explain what happened that night a month ago. That night I had nightmares far worse than anything I have ever had in my life. In my nightmare I started out in a poorly lit alley. One end was bright due to a street lamp, the other darkness. Something called me into the darkness and I followed. 

Once at the very back of the alley I saw to rocking cribs. Each had a corner of a blanket sticking out with the name Sullivan monogrammed into it. Then the babies inside started to cry. I saw an older version of myself go to the cribs and get the crying babies. 

After holding the babies for a few minutes they disappeared from my arms. Then you were in the corner surrounded by a puddle of blood, your own blood. You had stab wounds all over you. Over and over you kept asking me why I chose my babies over you and why I let you die. 

Then my dream took a new turn. I was in labor and trying so hard to push my babies out but something was stopping me. That was when I looked and saw you raping me as I tried to deliver. Then after many minutes of me begging and pleading with you to stop you pulled out a knife and stabbed plunged it into my stomach near my ribs. You then yanked the knife down towards my pelvis gutting me and making the babies inside me fall onto the hard ground. 

That was when you woke me. I was still so scared from the dream that I reacted and tried to get away. Jimmy I know you would EVER hurt me or my babies. You care too much for the three of us. I know you do, you may not want to admit it, but I know you Jimmy. 

This past month without you has been hell. You can ask my mom, I've been a wreck. I barely leave my room unless I have to. Mom puts my meals on my computer table and leaves me alone. I still wear the ring you gave me. 

School starts again in a few weeks. I hope that we're friend's again by then Jim. I don't want us to be enemies or anything except what we were before. I want you back. And until I get you back I will most likely be this depressed worthless shell that is only living for the two lives inside it. I don't know what our futures hold Jim but I can hope that we're back together again soon. 

-Matt 

I clicked send and cried as the email went on it's course and I hoped on my life that Jimmy read it.

A/N: this is gonna be the last post on the story for a while. my net is being turned off. once i get it back i will post more

Chapter 12

One day I was home in the kitchen after venturing from my room. I stood there in a pair of pajama bottoms with skulls and crossbones all over them and nothing else but the bandages on my stomach. I had just put something in the microwave when the doorbell rang. As I waddled to the door I wondered who it could be. 

I opened the door to find Johnny standing there. "What a lovely sight to see. The door is opened by a half-naked preggo." I growled at him. "Can I come in?" I moved aside and he walked into the house. Once I closed the door he sighed. "Alright first I retract what I said at the door, I have a rep to keep intact. Second, I came here to tell you about Jimmy. Ever since you broke up he's been.... isolated. He hasn't talked to any of us. He has declared the band broken up. He even went as far to say that if we had any problems with it to come bitch at you. 

Now I am not here to bitch. I am here in the hopes that you can fix Jimmy. I know about what happened so I can understand both sides and surprisingly you look better off than he does." 

"I am not better off. I just left my room willingly for the first in 3 weeks. And it was only in search of food cause mom isn't home to make me a sammich." I sighed as I sat. "Anyway, I have tried to talk to Jimmy but it gets me nowhere. I've called him and he ignores me. I text him and he ignores me. Even a week ago I sent him an email and nothing. I am going nuts without him Johnny." 

He nodded. "I can see that. But I want to help. I invited Jimmy out for lunch on Tuesday. He already agreed and he has no idea you'll be there too. Please Matt, you have to do this for me... I hate to see you guys like this." 

"Does Brian know about this side you have?"

"Semi, he knows it exists but rarely seen." 

I nodded. "So I'll see you Tuesday. Just text me the time and location ok? Better yet text me after he arrives so that we don't run into each other before." He nodded. "Thanks for this Johnny. You're fantastic." He nodded and stood to leave. "Hey Johnny." He looked at me. I walked to him and hugged him close. "Thank you so much. I never understand why you're so nice to me when any other person would point and laugh. Thank you." 

He nodded. "And the reasoning to my kindness, you're like the bratty little brother I never had. You are the only one who can get under my skin and I am proud of you for it. You do things that no one ever would." I smiled at him; he hugged me once more, and left. 

I sighed as I sat in the recliner gently trailing my fingers over my belly. "My sweet babies, we'll get Jimmy back I promise." I sighed waiting for Tuesday that was literally days away. It was only Wednesday...

I heard the microwave beep and I went to get my lunch which was left over homemade macaroni and cheese. Mom's signature dish. I have no clue how she makes it but I've always loved it. I really gotta get the recipe so I can learn how to make it for my kids. I took my food bounty and went to my room. 

When Tuesday came around I dressed in black jeans and a Black Sabbath t-shirt that used to be a nightshirt before I got pregnant. As I put on a pair of sandals I looked at the ring that still sat on my finger. I hoped to god that Jimmy would listen. I want to fix things with him... I got the text from Johnny and headed out with help from Brian who drove me. 

Once I got to the restaurant I walked inside nervously hands on my belly. I saw Johnny and walked over. I bit my lip when Johnny nodded towards Jimmy. "Hi Jimmy." 

Jimmy turned and looked at me. "Mattie... What are you doing here? Johnny what is he doing here?" 

When Jimmy went to get up Johnny forced him to sit. "Listen up Jimmy, this boy cares so much about you. When I saw him last week he told how much he misses you. Now he's gonna sit down and you're gonna listen to him or I will shove your scrotum so far up your ass you'll become sterile. Got it?" Jimmy nodded as Johnny helped me into a chair. Once comfortable I put my hand on Jimmy's only to have Jimmy yank his away. "Jimmy behave." 

"I am behaving. I just don't want to be touched by a traitor." I bit my lip trying not to cry. Johnny glared at him and Jimmy looked at me. "How are you? Are your stabs healing well?" 

I nodded. "Slowly, but yes. Thank you." I looked at my stomach for a second then back at him. "Listen Jimmy, I don't know why you ignored me for the past month. I've tried to explain but you won't let me. I even wrote an email but I have no idea if you got it..." 

"I got it, I read it too. But how can I believe it Matt. What you said to me that day... It broke my heart. The last person to talk to me like that was my ex. The minute he treated me like that I broke 5 of his ribs, 7 fingers, and both feet. I didn't wanna hurt you so I left." He was subconsciously tearing up his napkin. 

"Jimmy leaving me hurt me more than anything you could ever do to me. Ask around, I haven't been seen anywhere for the past month unless you could the one visit to my doctor. I barely leave my room. I only started to recently cause mom is making me. Did you think that in trying to prevent me from getting hurt you hurt me more?" I sniffled some. "You were the best thing to ever happen to me Jim. You made my pregnancy something magical. But without you, I'm just an incubator." Right when I was about to cry I stood. "I can't do this. I'm sorry, excuse me." I left as fast as I could. I got home and cried as I slid down to the floor leaning against the wall.

Chapter 13

It had been another two weeks of me in my depressive state ever since the meeting with Jimmy and Johnny. I know Johnny meant well but I guess seeing Jimmy sent me over the edge. I finally took the ring off that day too. It now sits in a box in my bathroom mirror. School literally starts in 4 days, yippee... not. I am gonna be a huge pregnant kid in school who is single. Yeah that's not a neon sign that says pick on me. 

I sighed as I went to my closet for clothes that would fit me. That was when I saw it; there on a hanger, was the pants Jimmy let me wear when I was 4 months. I grabbed them and held them close to me. I cried missing Jimmy with all my heart. 

I just want my jimmy back in my arms to comfort me and hold me. I heard my cell ring and grabbed it without looking. "Hello?"

"Hey, are you crying?" I was shocked to hear a voice I hadn't heard in so long. "Mattie? Are you ok?" 

"Jimmy! Oh my god, is it really you?" 

"Yeah it's me. I was wondering if I could come over. Is that ok?" I nodded furiously then felt dumb knowing he couldn't hear me. "Mattie you there?"

"Yes, you can come over. I'm home alone, mom had to do something. Just hurry ok?" 

"Will do. I love you" he hung up and if I wasn't pregnant I woulda jumped for joy. My Jimmy was coming back to me! As I waited for him I paced the foyer in front of the door like a dog that had to go to the bathroom. When the knock came I jumped, I opened the door immediately and hugged Jimmy without saying anything. He laughed gently. "Hello to you too." 

I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him passionately with my hands cupping his face. He moaned and I backed us into the foyer and closed the door. He pushed me against the wall and his hands roamed over my body. When he went for my pants I pushed him back. "Jimmy no, we can't do that." He looked at me confused. "Stitches remember? Doctor banned any sexual activities." He pouted. "I know my love. But we can go snuggle on the couch if you want." He nodded happily and we walked off. I sat on the couch and he sat by me pulling me close. 

He held my hand then picked it up to examine it. "Where's the ring? You still wore it two weeks ago. Where is it now?" 

"Bathroom mirror." he nodded and walked off. I heard him searching for it then he came back with it in his hand. He kneeled before me. "Matt Sanders, I may be a jerk sometimes and I may be an asshole but I love you. So that said will you give me the pleasure of being my husband?" 

I gasped shocked. "Oh my god, Jimmy are you serious?" he nodded at me. "Then yes! Always!" He put the ring on my finger and smiled. I pulled him up best I could and kissed him again. "I seriously hate the no sex rule. Engagements always should be christened with sex." He nodded and smiled. 

I woke to a loud banging noise. I sat up from my spot on the couch. I sighed noticing I fell asleep on the couch right after getting home from seeing Johnny and Jimmy. I looked at the window and saw it was dusk. I stood slowly as the banging continued. "Give me a fucking minute I am pregnant!" I barked out as I made my way to the door. I yanked it open as the person knocked and rang the doorbell. "WHAT?!" I was shocked to see Jimmy standing there. 

"What a lovely greeting. Do you make greeting cards?" he smiled at me. 

"Says the dude who kept knocking and ringing the damn bell." I sighed. "Sorry, wanna come in?" he nodded and I moved aside. As he walked to the living room I closed the door and followed sitting back on the couch all sprawled out once he sat in the recliner. "What's up?"

"Well I came to reconcile. I saw the way you cried before you left Mattie. It broke my heart. So I did some thinking and came to this conclusion." I looked at him waiting for him to continue. He stood and walked over to my couch and sat on his knees on the floor by my head. He then leaned up and kissed me passionately. I turned and my hands cupped his face. He pulled away. "I am sorry I didn't let you explain before I ran off love. Please forgive me." 

"I'll forgive you if you kiss me again." He laughed but nodded and kissed me again more fiercely than before when we pulled apart I was panting. "I love you Jim jam." 

"Love you too Mattie-bear." He smiled at me. He pushed my shirt up to my chest and kissed my belly. "Hey you two, did you miss me?" I groaned a little as they kicked. "Easy on your mommy, he's still healing ok?" the kicking stopped. "Now, have you two been good?" gentle kicks were made to his belly. "Very good, you know you're gonna go to school with mommy and me soon. It's gonna be so cool! You went last year too but you probably don't remember it... but meh." I smiled watching him talk to the babies. I gently combed his hair with my fingers.

Chapter 15

Jimmy POV

I walked to my car knowing Matt was waiting for me. As I got closer I noticed he wasn't inside or outside the car. I dropped his book bag on the ground and ran to my car. Mattie's keys were on the ground by the front tire. I ran back to the school thinking he might have gone inside for something. I ran into the guys who were on their way out. "Matt's gone! He was gonna meet me at the car. I found his keys by the tire and he's nowhere to be found!" we all split up and went searching for him.

When we met at the gym we all had looks of fear on our faces. I cursed and kicked the basketball rack. I fell to the floor crying. I just got Mattie back and I lost him again. Zack sat by me and held me close trying to calm me. "Jimmy, we'll find him. I promise you, we'll find him." I hugged Zack and cried. I heard Johnny call the cops but I didn't give it much attention. The cops came, took my statement, and left putting out an APB on my love.

When I went home after picking up Matt's bag from the ground in front of my car. I sat in my room crying wishing, hoping he was ok. I pulled out my cell and sent him a text that said I missed him and hoped he was alright.

Matt POV

As I came to my head was pounding and the twins were kicking furiously. I put my hands on my stomach and noticed I was in a barely lit room. It looked like a root cellar. There was one bulb hanging down from the ceiling for light. I had nothing to help me escape. There was nothing on the walls and the door I have yet to check but I am betting it's locked.

I touched my stomach to calm the babies down. I stood slowly and decided to try the door. That was when I noticed as guessed it was locked. I sighed. "Well babies, it seems we are up shit creak without a paddle." I sighed and leaned against the wall. "What the hell do I do?" I put one hand in my pocket and felt my cell. I pulled it out hoping that it would work. I sighed when he said no signal. It was so not my day. I sighed putting my phone back. I heard noises above me, thumping noises and muffled sounds. "HELLO? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?!"

I sighed as my yelling fell on deaf ears. Hours passed and my phone said it was 8:34 pm. My stomach growled from hunger and the babies kicked. "I know babies, I'm hungry too. I wish I could do something that would get us outta here. But my cell has no service and by the looks of things I am underground..." I sighed leaning against the post in the center of the room and slowly slid down to sit on the ground. "How can I go from having a good day to a bad one? What did I do wrong that karma has to kick my ass? I've been raped, I've been nearly pummeled, I've been stabbed, I've been dumped, and to top it all off I was kidnapped..." after who knows how long of talking to myself I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Jimmy POV

I got home and immediately went to my dad. "Dad you gotta help me, Matt was kidnapped from school today! No one can find him anywhere. Even the cops are looking for him and I still have to tell Mrs. Sanders that I left her son alone and he was taken!" I went to the basement searching for I really don't know what. Dad followed me; he was literally a step behind me.

"What did the cops say? Do they have any leads?"

"No.... the only thing we have is Matt's keys which were by the front tire of my car on the passenger side. It looks like he was gonna unlock the car and go inside but was taken before it could happen. If I was with him he would be safe! If I had walked him to the car I coulda kicked the ass of whoever took him... Right now they're looking for Randy. They named him a suspect after Matt got him expelled last year. Randy had to come back again this year and is pissed about it."

"I see. Well you better go call his mother." I nodded and walked to my room. When I told Mrs. Sanders about what happened to Matt she started crying. I mean I would too... I did. Matt is all she has left. After her husband died years ago, she's been busying herself caring for Matt.

The guys came over to my garage and we started making 'Have You Seen Me?' posters that had a picture of Matt that as taken by me only a week ago. We all took different parts of town and went to put up posters.

Matt POV

When I came to there was an end table not far from me with a plate of food. Sadly there was nothing to use as a weapon. All that was on the table was a foam plate piled high was sammiches. I stood and went to the end table and inspected the sammiches. They were all salami and Munster cheese one wheat bread with mayo. I know one thing. Whoever kidnapped me knows that I eat nothing but salami and Munster on wheat bread with mayo. That means my kidnapper knows me personally.
