Hannah
Finally, I had the whole day today to do whatever I wanted with myself. We didn’t have sound check until after 5 this evening and we weren’t on stage until tonight before PTV and A7X. We weren’t doing any signings, interviews or anything else band related, finally, I could sneak away from everyone for an hour or so and do what I needed to do.

As far as I was aware, I was alone on the bus since Red was off with Johnny, Charlie was gaming somewhere with Matt and no doubt Erin was off somewhere being bothered by Brian. Of course, I was proven wrong whilst shrugging my leather jacket on, the familiar sound of my darling sister clearing her throat sounded from behind me. So close, right at the door, jacket on, money in pocket, shoes on… and she catches me now.

“What are you doing today?” She asked, I turned around to see her taking a drink from her bottle of water “Y’know, since we have most of today off,”

“I have a few errands I need to run,” I shrugged, brushing her question and statement off as well as I could.

“Can I come?” She groaned “I don’t want to be left on my own where Brian can get to me,” She laughed, and I had to chuckle a little at the guys determination to get into her pants.

“Sorry,” I sighed “I’d rather go out on my own today, if you don’t mind,”

“You know what?” She asked a bit louder, slamming her bottle down on the counter making me jump “I do mind, so why the fuck don’t you just tell me why you’re being weird, why you’re avoiding everyone like you’ve got the plague and you’re trying to keep the rest of us healthy and alive?!”

“It doesn’t matter,” I told her, turning away to open the door, but she stopped me when she spoke again.

“You haven’t touched a sip of alcohol in almost a week,” She started “You pretend to be drinking it, and then you dispose of it when you think nobody is watching you, you’re distracted on stage and you’re not so enthusiastic when it comes to our duels, you cringe whenever someone so much as says Vic’s name,” I felt myself start to cringe but I tried to hide it “There you go again!” She laughed sarcastically “And not to mention that you run off somewhere whenever he’s anywhere near you, and for once in your lives, he doesn’t go after you,” I let out a long, loud sigh and looked at her face finally “I know what’s going on, Hannah.” She sighed “But I want to hear it from your lips,”

“I think I might be pregnant…” I trailed off. My voice was barely above a whisper “If I am, it’s Vic’s, one-hundred percent, and when I told him that I might be that night I ran off stage to puke, he blamed the whole thing on me and got ridiculously mad at me, he hurt me really bad and I don’t want to be anywhere near him until I can tell him for sure whether I’m pregnant or not,”

“I can’t believe him!” She yelled “He claims to love you more than anything, thinks the two of you are supposed to spend the rest of your lives together and when you have a pregnancy scare he thinks it’s okay to put you in this position and be a real dick to you?” I looked back at the ground “I will not stand for that, and we’re going to the store in town to buy every brand they sell, you’re peeing on all of them because I need to know if I’m going to be an aunt or not,”
~~~~
The walk into town seemed to take forever, but Erin and I covered ourselves with hoodies, jackets and VU bandanas so that any fans wouldn’t recognize us and see what we were buying. The last thing we needed was for people to be posting about my ‘Maybe Baby’ all over the internet, since the whole world already thought Vic and I were an item.
Erin grabbed my hand when we entered the store and marched us both all the way to the ‘Feminine Care’ aisle up the back and grabbed five different brands of pregnancy test before grabbing two 2ltr bottles of Sunny D from the fridge and rushing to the check-
out.

I drank my juice as fast as I could on the way back to the bus, and by the time we got back I was already half way through the stuff and bursting for a pee. Erin locked the door to the bus so that it was safe to me to take the tests with the bathroom door open, and I did just that. I took the first two from one box at the same time, hid the sticks and drank some more juice. By the time all of them were used up, I’d almost finished the second bottle of juice and all of the tests would have seasoned. I couldn’t look, I was absolutely petrified.

“I can’t look,” I whined to Erin as she entered the bathroom. I was resting my back against the sink that contained all of the tests “My whole life depends on the answer on the white sticks behind me,”

“You want me to look first?” She asked.

“Yes,” I whimpered, nodding, biting my lip and fighting back tears.

She wrapped her arms around me and I rested my head on her shoulder while she looked over mine, and I felt her smile at the side of my face, I didn’t know whether to freak out or be relieved.

“Take a look,” She smiled at me, pulling away from me.

I slowly turned around and looked at the results. Each test showed either a sad face, one pink line or a blue negative sign.

“Oh thank fuck!”

I could finally breathe again, and I dropped to my knees on the floor of the bathroom and cried tears of relief and happiness, unable to wipe the smile off of my face. I don’t do relationships, and I’ve never wanted kids, one day that might change, but that day is not today.

I’d been dying to know whether Hannah really was pregnant, or if it was just a scare. But with everything that had been going on since the start of the tour, I didn’t really have a chance to be alone with her and something told me that she hadn’t had a chance to be alone either to, you know, find out. I didn’t want to push my luck and make her mad or upset by asking her, so I decided to leave it and wait for her to come to me when she felt ready.

I was crazy about her. I know, she doesn’t do relationships, and that’s fine with me because what we already have is amazing. The woman can take it like there’s no tomorrow, but that’s just an added bonus to how amazing she already is. It’s probably a stupid thing to say considering her ‘friends-with-benefits” relationship with Vic, and the fact that she might be carrying his love child, and we’ve been screwing around a little, but I’m absolutely positive that I’ve fallen in love with her, I’m sure that actually happened a while ago when I first saw her out there on stage doing her thing, and no matter what she is going through, I love her enough to stand by her through it all and give her everything she needs and wants. With me, she would want for nothing.

Matt was on our bus gaming with Charlie, Zack was hanging out with one of the girls’ roadies, Johnny was with Little Red so that left
Brian and I, leaning against the bus sharing a couple of smokes.

“I can’t find Erin anywhere,” Brian sighed, taking another long drag.

“Maybe she’s hiding from you,” I joked, making myself laugh a bit but he just glared at me “Aw, c’mon man, you’re trying and it’s slowly working… I think, I don’t know, she’s a chick and I’ve never really spent much time alone with her,”

“Well,” He smirked, turning to face me “What’s the deal with you and Hannah?” I narrowed my eyes at him “It’d be hot if we dated twins dude, just think about how fuckin’ kinky that would be,” He elbowed my arms and winked at me before furiously wiggling his eyebrows.

“You’re fucking sick,” I scolded lightly, shoving him away from me before putting out my cigarette “There is no ‘deal’ with us, we’re just hanging out, we’re good friends,”

“If you say so, dude,” He chuckled, putting out his cigarette “But I see the way the two of you look at each other, and it isn’t just lust,”

With that, he walked off in search of something to do, leaving me against the bus with his words rattling around in my brain. He was only a little bit away from me, out of sight but not out of earshot when I heard him speak.

“Hey,” He laughed “Where are you running off to little one?” I could hear someone respond to him but I could make them out “He’s
right outside our bus,” He laughed “See ya tonight then,” He laughed, probably waving the person off.

I stood up straight as I heard footsteps in the grass approaching me quickly, someone was running for me. As soon as I was upright, I saw a flash of Hannah’s blue and grey hair before she jumped at me, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. Her force caused me to stumble backwards as I caught her but luckily the bus was there to hold me up. Before I could start to speak, her lips were on mine for a few moments before they moved all over my face, smothering me with kisses.

“Whoa!” I laughed “What the Hell is going on?”

She pulled away from my face but kept herself wrapped around me. I hadn’t seen a smile so big on anyone’s face before, I could almost see all of her teeth. She looked like she had been crying, but given her smile I assumed they were joyous tears.

“I’m not pregnant,” She whispered. She was so quiet that I thought I’d misheard her.

“What?” I asked, a smile of my own spreading across my face.

“I’m not pregnant!” She said a little louder, but still not so loud that anyone around would have heard her.

“That’s amazing!” I cheered, holding her tightly to me before spinning around with her.

“I’m so happy,” She breathed “I’m in my element, living my life and doing what I do best, I’m so not ready for a family,”

“I couldn’t have said it better myself,”

My large hand slid up her back and into her hair, holding the back of her head in my palm and I pulled her down to me so that our lips met in a soft, yet, passionate kiss. I don’t know how long we stayed there, but I knew that I never wanted to let her go, so I didn’t.

Vic
Since Hannah dropped the bomb on me that there was a possibility that we were going to become parents early next year, I hadn’t seen much of her. She was always running off whenever I was around, but whenever we were anywhere near each other I couldn’t stop watching her. I hadn’t taken the time to calm down and ask her how she felt about everything, and I still didn’t know, but whenever I watched her, I knew that if she really was pregnant, she was already making some changes to make sure that our little baby was protected. She wasn’t drinking alcohol when everyone celebrated after every show, I sometimes saw her jogging around the venues in the morning to keep healthy, and whenever she was on stage she was a lot less reckless and hyperactive, she was… sensible… different.

She hadn’t come to me to tell me if she had taken a test or not, so I still didn’t know if she was actually pregnant or not. But, given the looks Erin had been giving me all day, I guessed she had caved and told her, hopefully Erin managed to get her to find out or not. I’d planned on cornering Hannah and finding out myself, but I never got the chance because by the time I found out where she was we had to do sound check and then we were getting ready for the show.

It had become a ritual for the two bands not on stage to stand by and watch the band that was playing, so PTV and A7X were standing by, waiting for the girls to go out on stage. They all looked as beautiful as ever, and as an older brother, I was thankful for their choices in outfit for tonight’s show. They all wore black muscle tank tops with different words or symbols on them, laced up boots, and they alternated between black skinny jeans and grey skinny jeans. Their hair and makeup though, was as dark and wild as ever.

They ran out onto the stage silently, smothered in complete darkness. Charlie got behind her drums and twirled her sticks in a very Rev manner, and the other three took their positions at the front of the stage, each of them in front of a microphone.
The twins started the song by creepily whispering into their microphones.

(The end is the end)

(Don't bless me father for I have sinned)

Their badass riffs started and the whole song kicked off.

Father did you miss me?
I've been locked up a while.
I got caught for what I did but took it all in style.

Laid to rest all my confessions I gave way back when.
Now I'm versed in so much worse,
So I am back again.
And he said

For the lines that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I make, I'm going to hell!The twins sang backup and complimented Red’s voice in every way
Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

Father did you miss me?
Don't ask me where I've been.
You know I know,
Yes, I've been told I redefine a sin.
I don't know what's driving me to put this in my head.
Maybe I wish I could die, maybe I am dead!
And he said

For the lives that I fake, I'm going to hell!
For the vows that I break, I'm going to hell!

For the ways that I hurt, while I'm hiking up my skirt.
I am sitting on a throne while they're buried in the dirt.

For the man that I hate, I'm going to hell!

Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

Please forgive me father,
I didn't mean to bother you.
The devil's in me father.
He's inside of everything I do.

For the life that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the laws that I break, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I hate, I'm going to hell!
For the lies that I make, I'm going to hell!

For the way I condescend and never lend a hand.
My arrogance is making this head buried in the sand.
For the souls I forsake, I'm going to hell!

Gettin' married to the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

The girls kicked ass out there, and they were only one song in. Hannah and Erin seemed to be back to normal and they were going crazy, especially Hannah, their duels were the best they had been in a long time and they couldn’t have looked happier. The whole crowd were going crazy, screaming along with the lyrics, and the pit looked amazing tonight.

“Alright guys!” Red panted into her microphone, taking her place again after taking a drink of water “That was a song written by The Twins here, and from all the racket you guys made, I guessed you all listened to our sneak peak,” They all laughed as the crowd screamed in response.

Once their set was over, they all came running off the stage and for once, Hannah didn’t take right off, instead, she looked at me and smiled once she received a bear hug and a peck on the lips from Jimmy.

“Can I talk to you for a minute before you go out there?” She asked me, gesturing with her hand to a place in the corridor where it was quiet.

“Sure thing,” I smiled tightly at her.

I followed her until she stopped walking and slowly turned around to face me, a smile on her face.

“I took a whole bunch of pregnancy tests today,” She announced.

“And?” I asked, holding my breath. I didn’t know if I really wanted to know the answer.

“They were all negative,” She smiled.

I let out all the air I had in my lungs and scooped her up into my arms, twirling around with her when she hooked her feet together behind my back to keep herself attached to me. I stopped moving and just gazed into her eyes. It had been almost a week that I hadn’t been able to get this close to her and in all honesty it was killing me. My eyes flicked down to her lips just in time to see her tongue dart out and moisten them, they looked so kissable. When I looked back to her eyes I saw hers flick back up from my lips, too. Slowly, I leaned in and kissed her, after a second she started to kiss me back before groaning almost silently and turning her head to the side to detach our lips.

“What?” I asked when she slowly exhaled “What did I do wrong?”

“You hurt me,” She choked after a moment, keeping her eyes closed tightly “When I thought that I was… you were a dick, you hurt me really bad and I couldn’t stand to be around you without knowing the truth, and hurting me was something you promised me that you would never do, and no matter how badly I want you right now, I can’t just pretend that nothing happened… it’s a lot more complicated than it ever was before,”

With that, she slid down my body until her feet were back on the ground and she walked off. I watched her get her sister’s attention and then I followed the guys out onto the stage. Engulfed in darkness again, I stood in my place and looked over to her and saw that she was now wrapped around The Rev’s waist and he was pressing a chaste kiss into her hair, her eyes closed and I could see her exhale contentedly, a small smile playing on her lips.

I didn’t know if she was happy because she wasn’t pregnant or if she was happy because she was with him, but I knew she didn’t do relationships, but if he was going to fight for one with her then so was I.

Notes

So! I managed to get a little something written for this after realising that I'd actually written half of this!

I want to take this golden opportunity to announce something to you all. While the Hannah in the story ISN'T pregnant... the Hannah writing it (ME!) IS pregnant! Holy shit, right?

Anyways, enjoy the chapter and leave us some feedback!
Rye is up next!!
