What I Get For Loving You Ch. 9

A BoomerxBubbles story

Chapter 9

We walked in the door and headed for the living room.  My sisters were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey Bubbles.  How'd it go?" asked Buttercup, when we walked in the room.

"It went great!  The babies are perfectly healthy!" I answered, letting my excitement begin to pour out.

"Wait!  Babies?!" asked Blossom.

"Yes, babies!  We're having twins!" I shouted, all of my excitement pouring out at ounce, as I leapt at my sisters, pulling them into a hug.

"Bubbles, we can't breathe!" Blossom choked out.

"Sorry!" I said, realizing how hard I was squeezing them and letting them go.  They coughed a few times as they tried to catch their breath.  The three of us then looked at each other before bursting out into laughter.

"Did I miss something?" asked the Professor as he walked into the room.

"You sure did!" I shouted a huge grin plastered on my face.

"Would you care to fill me in?"

"We're having twins!" I answered as I leapt into my dad's arms, careful not to have a repeat of my sisters.

"That's great," said the Professor as I ended the hug.  "But are you sure you're ready for this?  Raising one child is a huge responsibility, and believe me when I tell you that raising more than one is an even bigger responsibility."

"It's a little late to ask whether or not I'm ready," I replied.  "But Boomer and I have superpowers!  We'll do just fine."  Suddenly my stomach began to growl.  "What's for dinner?  I haven't eaten for three hours and I'm starving."

After dinner we all decided to hang out in the living room at watch a movie.  I sat on the couch, Bubbles nestled into my side.  The Professor sat in his chair while Blossom and Buttercup were forced to sit on the floor.  About half way through the movie, my cell-phone began to vibrate.  I quietly stood up and walked into the other room.

"Hello?" I asked when I answered.

"Where are you?" asked a voice on the other end.  It was Brick.

"Well I was trying to spend time with my girlfriend and her family, until you called." I complained.  "What do you want?"

"Well, excuse me for worrying about my little brother.  Anyway, I was just wondering where you've been all day."

"I was with Bubbles.  She had her first ultrasound today."

"Any news about that?"

"And here I thought you didn't like my relationship with Bubbles."

"I don't.  I'm just curios how my niece/nephew is doing?" there was a pause and I could hear Butch's voice in the background.  "Butch is kind of curios too."

"Well they're both healthy."

"What do you mean both?"

"Well, it turns out we're having twins."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and don't freak out if I don't come home.  I plan on asking if I can stay here tonight."

"They'll probably say no."

"Yeah, but there's no harm in asking.  Well anyway, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye," with that Brick hung up and I walked back into the living room.

"What was that about?" whispered Bubbles when I sat down.

"My brothers were wondering where I was." I replied.

"Did you tell them the news?"

"Yeah."  It was quiet the rest of the movie.  "Am I allowed stay here?" I asked when the movie was over.

"Why would we let you?" asked Buttercup.

"Because he deserves a night with his girlfriend," Bubbles answered.

Blossom sighed.  "What do you think Professor?"

"Alright, but only to sleep," said the Professor.  I was surprised at first, but realized that with all of the hormones that were rushing through Bubbles' body, it was probably best that he did say yes.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" shouted Bubbles wrapping her arms around me in excitement.  When she released me, she grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me upstairs.
