Years after IT had been destroyed, the Loser's club had been trying to patch up their lives. They all forgotten about IT as Pennywise the Singing and Dancing Clown after they would leave Derry, but they all remembered and were called back to destroy IT once and for all before IT would destroy them. More specially, Bill and Lilly were trying to have a child and their wishes would be granted soon as Bill waited at home for Lilly to come home from the hospital to see if she were finally pregnant or not. About 10 minutes after he was waiting Lilly came in looking pale and dazed.
"Lilly, are you alright?" Bill came close to his wife. He had seen her that way before, but it was from paralyzed fear, hopefully that would all stop unless they saw a great movie around the Halloween season.
"Read this, Billy..." she says softly handing him the peice of paper. Her hand moved to lightly rest on her stomach.
Bill nodded and took the paper, adjusting his glasses to make sure he would read these results properly. His eyes widened behind his glasses and he glanced lightly at Lilly. "Really...?" he nearly wheezed in excitement.
Lilly nodded. "We're going to have a baby..." she says before grinning.
"I'm going to be a father?" Bill sounded very excited and nervous all at once.
Lilly nodded, beaming. "Yes!" She says happily and hugged him.
Bill beamed brightly as he hugged her back and twirled her around a bit. This had to be the happiest day of their lives together next to getting married after being childhood friends. Lilly giggled happily and kissed him too as they twirled.
"This is great," Bill smiled fondly at her. "You think we should tell the others?" he was very eager about being a father, he was more like a highly anxious mother about to have her first child and have all the hopes and dreams with being heavenly blessed with a little one of their very own.
"Yeah, we should, they need to know." Lilly says just as happily. She hadn't expected to get pregnant with what happened a while earlier, but was ecstatic.
"Of course, I just can't believe I'm going to be a father, we've been waiting so long I didn't think it'd happen." Bill was very excited and quickly rushed to the phone and dialed one of his friends' phone numbers at random.
Lilly giggled fondly. She looked down at her temporarily still flat stomach. "Your daddy is going to love you just as much as your mommy." she coos.
Bill smiled fondly as he watched Lilly before he would answer his calling to a friend on the other line. "Hey, it's me... You'll never guess what happened when Lilly went to the hospital today."
Lilly smiled back happily.
"What happened?" Came the slightly worried voice of Mike. He had been slightly closer friends as the others had all moved too far away to meet hp as easily as he could with Bill and Lilly.
"She's pregnant," Bill nearly cried with endless joy. "We're going to have another Denborough around the house pretty soon."
"What?! That's great... We should have a party to celebrate like we did with Ben and Beverly's pregnancy..." Mike suggests.
"That would be excellent, plus some our little one will already have his or her future best friend." Bill was hysterical again. He was acting more like the woman in this celebration than Lilly was.
Lilly laughed fondly and went to get a cup of tea.
Mike chuckled "Calm down, Bill." he says, amused.
"Right, right, sorry... I'm just so happy." Bill laughed himself, realizing how silly he kind of sounded.
Lilly hummed a soft happy tune. She looked slightly sad though.
Mike laughed. "So where are we gonna meet?" He asks.
Bill hummed a little. "Well, we can't go to that place we used to when we were kids... Probably gone by now... You remember that restaurant we went to before... Well, you know?" he slightly shuddered as he brought that up.
"Yeah, sounds good, Bill." Mike says.
"I'm sure this time nothing weird will happen." Bill said calmly.
"Let's hope so." Mike says.
Lilly rubbedd her stomach gently "Oh Eddie, I wish you were here to see your 'niece' or 'nephew'." she says softly.
"Either way, we're going to look after our little one." Bill calmed down a little, trying not to worry and think too much about the past. It was in, of course, the past.
"I know you will, you're a good man and will be an even better father." Mike states.
Lilly took a sip of tea. She stroked her stomach as she did this.
"I was a pretty good brother too..." Bill said gravely.
Mike sighed softly. "That was in the past, it wasn't your fault..." he says.
Lilly shrugged and headed towards the living room.
"I guess... I'll see you in a bit, okay?" Bill softly smiled, trying to change the subject for the sake of becoming a father in what would feel like eternal, but if not focused enough, quick nine months.
"Yeah, Bill," Mike says. "Do you want me to call anyone else?" he asks, in case Bill didn't have a number for them.
"Maybe Richie." Bill suggested, not really sure if he could have a number to reach him or not due to his new life.
Mike nodded. "Sure thing Bill, speak later." he says.
Lilly sat down curled up in her favorite chair.
"Talk to you later, bye." Bill hung up, then went to join Lilly. "How are you feeling?"
Lilly looked at her husband. "Happy, sad, a little confused." she says with a soft smile.
"Is it hormones or something else?" Bill asked delicately.
Lilly got up so he could sit down and sat on his lap. "Happy we're having a baby, confused at how I feel both happy and sad, and sad as I know he would've loved to meet the baby." she says softly. She really adored her husband, so sweet, caring, and understanding.
Bill bowed his head. "Yeah... I'm sure he would've..." he said, knowing who she was talking about. Their friend who had become really close, especially toward Lilly. He had become like a brother to her: Eddie. Poor, unfortunate Eddie.
Lilly hugged him and kissed his chin then cheek. "We'll just have to visit him too sometime." she says softly.
"Of course..." Bill nodded in agreement, but smiled fondly. They wouldn't discuss names yet, they just found out today, but they should probably talk about it with the others and catch up. After all, they were brought back together because of IT, and now they were brought back because of something a lot more pleasant, a new baby in the gang, even if Ben and Beverly were the first ones to conceive a child together.
Lilly smiled and handed him their moblie. "Come on, let's call Bevvy and Ben." she says.
"I bet they'll be excited too." Bill smiled, then went to call Ben and Beverly.
Beverly was eating some ice cream straight from the tub, due to mild cravings. She heard the phone ringing and answered with her mouth full, that her voice sounded different. "Hewoo?"
Ben was just coming back in from going to the shop.
"Is this the right number?" Bill didn't recognize her voice.
Beverly gulped down the ice cream. "Hey, guys!" she called in her normal voice.
"Oh, thank goodness, I thought I was talking to my mother or something!" Ben half-laughed.
Lilly smiled and kissed Bill's neck lightly. Bill was surprised and smiled very happy with Lilly. Lilly smiled at him. She had done it lovingly, not in any lustful way.
Ben came over to Beverly. "Who's on the phone?" He whispers.
"Bililly." Beverly whispered, putting her hand on the other part of the phone before saying anything else on to phone and so she could answer her husband.
Ben nodded. "Tell them I say hi." he says with a smile.
Beverly nodded. "Ben says hi... So, what's up?"
Ben went to make a hot drink for himself and his lovely wife.
"Your baby's going to have a friend to play with in hopefully no time." Bill hinted about what their news was with having a new member of the family coming along.
Lilly bit her lip waiting for Bev's reply.
"Really?!" Beverly beamed brightly. "When is Lilly due?"
"We just found out now, so it'll take a while." Bill said, but didn't contain his excitement. It was a little less chipper and girly though when he called Mike up first.
Lilly wrapped Bill's spare arm around herself and held their hands on her stomach happily. Ben looked surprised.
"Well, congratulations, I'm sure you and Lilly will be great parents." Beverly wished them luck.
Bill smiled fondly back at Lilly. "I'm sure we will."
Lilly smiled. "Can't wait to see you again Bevvy, and Ben too." she says so they could hear.
Ben came in and handed Beverly her drink. "Bililly is going to have a baby?" He asks.
Beverly nodded, having a very excited look on her face.
"It'll be a nice family-like reunion!" Bill added.
"Where we meeting?" Ben asks.
Lilly tilted her head, not knowing what Mike had planned with Bill.
"That Chinese restaruant we once went to together." Bill told them, hoping they wouldn't freak out because of what happened when they went there together that one time.
Ben gulped slightly, but remembered they had defeated IT. He nodded. Lilly took a calming breath.
"I just thought it'd be good to go there peacefully." Bill said softly. He then suddenly remembered something horrible that happened before Lilly was pregnant. Maybe he could make a horror story out of that.
Ben smiled, agreeing they could go.
Lilly saw the look then grinned. "Bevvy, help, Billy has that planning a book gleam in his eye again!" She playfully exclaims. She wouldn't have him any other way though.
"Oh, no, he's going to endanger innocent lives through literature!" Beverly made a fake cry of alarm.
"Very funny..." Bill murmured to the girls.
Ben could be heard chuckling.
Lilly gave a coo. "Aww, Bill, you know I love you." she says.
Bill rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Girls..."
Beverly gave a false exhausted sigh. "Men..."
"We're not all bad." Ben says.
Lilly smiled and snuggled into Bill.
"Yeah, without us, we wouldn't be the 'Losers'." Bill had nostalgia over when they were all isolated in school and formed their own club together. He smiled fondly, remembering when Lilly was the new girl and he held her close.
"Does anyone else know about this baby?" Beverly asked.
Ben listened. Lilly smiled gently kissing his neck again.
"So far just Mike, I think he was gonna call Richie." Bill replied, giggling a little from the ticklish kissing.
Lilly smiled against his neck.
"I just know the kids will love Richie, he's so funny." Beverly chuckled herself.
"Just wait guys, this is gonna be a good start for all of us." Bill said bravely and proud.
Ben smiled. "Yeah... So, when are we meeting?" he asks.
Lilly smiled again and then settled down in a hug.
Bill hummed, then looked down at Lilly. "What would be a good time to meet everyone?"
"However long you need to prepare, love." Lilly replies.
Bill hummed a bit. "How about a week?"
"That feels so soon." Beverly stated.
"Well, we miss you." Lilly says.
"Yeah... It's been a while, I guess it'll be fine to meet in a week." Beverly shrugged.
"Plus this is a happy occasion to meet up together." Bill added happily.
"Yeah." Lilly agrees happily.
Ben smiled and checked the schedule.
"Are we free?" Beverly asked Ben in a hushed tone.
"Yeah, just a dental appointment that we can reschedule..." he replies quietly but grinned.
"Oh, sounds like it worked out." Bill chuckled about the dentist.
Beverly smirked at her husband, then patted her own stomach.
Ben smiles. "So, yes, we're free!" He calls out.
"It's a deal!" Bill called back.
Ben chuckled. Lilly giggled a little. Beverly giggled with Lilly.
"Right, so, see ya in a little bit." Bill smiled before hanging up.
Lilly looked up at her husband. "I'm looking forwards to meeting up with everyone again." she says softly. She offered him a tiny smile.
"I am too, I'm just glad we're all reuniting because of a little bundle of joy and not a terror this time." Bill smiled back at his wife. He was very thrilled about becoming a father. He felt like a second father to his little brother when they were all younger.
Lilly nodded and hugged him close. "What shall we have for dinner?" She asks him smiling.
Bill hummed in thought. "We got any pork chops?"
Lilly nodded "Yeah, we do honey." she smiles.
"I think those would be good... Rice or potatoes?" Bill offered to help with the side dish.
"We'll have potatoes." Lilly says with a smile.
Bill nodded, smiling. "Fried? Baked? Mashed?"
Lilly gave a thought. "How about we have them roasted and we'll have gravy too?" Lilly suggests with a smile.
"Sounds perfect, when do you wanna get started?" Bill asked, looking to see what time it was.
Lilly got up and swayed her hips playfully as she walked to the kitchen "No time like the present, love." she says.
Bill nodded, then decided to help her with dinner. He didn't want to help too much and make it seem like she didn't know how to take care of things in the kitchen with her condition, but he did his level best to make sure they could get it done together and safely. Lilly cooked with him smiling. Bill decided to prepare the potatoes as Lilly did the pork chops. Lilly, in such a good mood, sung her and Bill's favorite song.
Bill smiled fondly at her as he spiced up the potatoes before putting them in the oven. Lilly continued and placed the pork chops in after giving it some special marinade. Bill sniffed a little from the pepper used, but didn't sneeze. Lilly giggled and gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose playfully.
Bill chuckled at her. "How does it feel?" he knew she just got pregnant, but he thought he should ask since he was married to the girl and they would have to spend as much alone time together as possible before their little bundle of life would come to the world.
Lilly looked at him. "I won't feel anything yet, love... but I feel happy" she smiles.
"I'm very happy too." Bill said softly.
Lilly smiled. The week would pass quickly with how happy they were.
"I just hope, boy or girl, we love it." Bill said, showing he wouldn't be a stereotypical man wanting a son right away, but would give a chance. He wouldn't mind having a boy though as he is the man of the house and he could teach the boy everything he would need to know. Who knows? Maybe the future Denborough baby would have a writing streak encoded in their DNA?
Lilly nodded. She spent time with him, even offering suggestions for his book.
"I was thinking maybe, this evil couple plans to have a baby, but soon, they abort it and it comes back for revenge years later." Bill suggested for his story.
Lilly shuddered, but smiled. "Very thrilling..." she says.
"It'll take some time like the baby, but you know how sick and twisted my mind is." Bill joked about himself, as a horror writer which terrified many readers and they spread rumors about how he was possibly possessed to come up with such stories.
Lilly nodded sagely. "Yes, I know." she says, only joking, but made her voice sound playfully serious.
"You asked for it when you said 'I do'." Bill laughed a bit.
Lilly placed her hand on her forehead, playfully dramatic. "Oh, the woe..." she teases then hugged him.
Bill laughed and hugged her back as his hands were clean.
Lilly giggled. "I love you, Bill." she says softly.
"I love you too, darling..." Bill smiled sweetly and stroked her face with a finger.
Lilly smiled and blushed as he stroked her face.
The following week went smoothly and it was about time for everyone to meet. Bill was at his computer keyboard typing up a prologue for his story before Lilly would be officially ready to go. It felt like a rather normal week with nothing going wrong for anyone. There were news breaks that often depressed the old Loser's club, but they had no problems and no worries. Lilly was packing the last few things. She sung a soft song as she did.
"You about ready, hon?" Bill asked as he kept typing, his eyes fixed on the screen being filled for his newest story release.
"Almost... Just packing a couple of last things." Lilly says in a sing-song voice.
Bill chuckled. "I hope you're not packing your make-up again, that took you almost half the day." he joked a bit as he continued to let his fingers dance on the keyboard before saving this opening chapter.
"It takes time to look this good!" Lilly says, her voice amused though.
Bill laughed a bit and continued his work.
Lilly could be heard struggling a second and then called out excitedly. "I did it!"
"You ready?" Bill asked as he saved the prologue of his upcoming story and glanced back to the direction of Lilly.
A suitcase came rolling down, followed by a walking Lilly. "Yeah." she says with a smile.
"Alright," Bill stood up as he grabbed his bag to go. "Let's have ourselves a good, old-fashioned Derry Loser's Club reunion." he went to go and open the door for her so they could go out and reunite with everyone.
Lilly kissed his cheek in thanks and picked up her own and went to get in the car. Bill got in the driver's seat and started to pull in the back and looked around as they were now driving to meet their old friends. Lilly hummed softly as they drove, this was exciting.
Bill smiled back at her and continued to enjoy the atmosphere. Things were really looking up for them. Never, did he once imagine that this would come up or happen when they were all school children. Lilly kept an eye out at the scenery, able to focus on it this time. Bill hummed a happy tune as they were going to meet with their old friends. Maybe they should also stop by to see Eddie, it would probably be good for old times sake.
Lilly seemed to be on the same wavelength. "Bill, can we visit Eddie?" She asks softly.
"I was just thinking the same thing..." Bill looked at her, his expression softening.
Lilly smiled softly even a little sadly "I also think we should visit Georgie... to tell him the good news." she says quietly.
Bill nodded softly. "Yes... I wonder what he would think."
Lilly placed her hand on her stomach. "I don't know, but I'm sure he'd have been proud." she says.
Bill sighed and kept driving. It was funny to think, being the older one, he expected himself to go first when he and Georgie would be a lot older. Sad what happened to him and how it had to happen. He didn't deserve it, he had done nothing wrong.
Bill fought with believing it should have been him for a long time, even as a full grown adult with a lovely new life, it was hard to ignore the pain of grief and how it squeezed his heart to know Georgie was gone. Lilly glanced at him and then leaned against him. She didn't say anything but she emitted an aura of calm and soothing. Bill smiled softly at her and kept driving until they would get to their stop.
