A/N: I do not own Ed Edd n Eddy. I hope you enjoy this story it'll be shorter than Double D's journal but it goes along with it. Possibly my last for Ed Edd n Eddy.
Double D sat quietly reading his book. It had been a while since last he was able to sit down and enjoy one of his favorite activities. His life had changed so much in the course of the last three years or so. His Mother had Married Vince and the three of them lived in the same house in the same neighborhood, but his surroundings had changed somewhat.
There had never been many pictures in Double D's house, but now the walls held photos of a family. Vince and Anna with their arms around Double D the three of them smiling, Double D standing next to Neo who wore a ribbon which he received after winning a local pet show. Even a photo here and there of the boys known as the Eds grinning happily, Ed's arms draped around them.
He looked up at the sound of the front door creaking open and put the book down. Neo ran to investigate, barking as he charged.
"Get off Neo, hey Sockhead, control your dog!" Eddy shouted as Neo began licking at his face.
"He's only saying hello Eddy, he likes you" Double D said pulling the large dog away.
"Whatever, just wanted to come over and ask how your mom's doin' I remember you sayin' she was sick."
"She's doing a little better, thank you Eddy, Vince took her to an appointment, hopefully they'll be able to do something, I'm just glad Vince was kind enough to allow Mother more time at home when he took that new position at the hospital. She sure needed it now." Double D said as the two walked through the house into the living room to sit down.
"yeah, he's a great guy. Listen, Double D. while I'm here, you wanna go to Ed's with me later there's a monster marathon tonight, I thought maybe it could be the three of us. You know just for a night. Don't get me wrong the girls are great but I think we could all use a boy's night." Since Marie and Eddy had begun to get closer Eddy had started to as if the Eds were losing connection.
"If you don't have any plans with May. I know you guys are real close and I don't wanna mess that up for ya." Eddy said.
"As it happens Eddy, May and I don't have any plans, had you not asked I would have invited both you and Ed her for the evening. She's spending time with her sisters. For the weekend."
"The whole weekend, that's great Double D, I-" the door opened once more as Vince and Anna returned home.
"I can't wait to tell him, he's going to be so happy!" Anna said excitedly.
"I can't believe it. I heard it with my own ears but I just- it's surreal" Vince replied as they approached the living room where the boys sat talking.
"Hello Eddy dear, how are you?" Anna greeted.
"Fine thanks, how are you, I know you weren't feelin' too well."
"I'm much better now thank you. Eddward, sweetie, Vince and I need a moment to talk to you."
"I'll uh, I'll see ya at Ed's tonight, Starts at 7:30, late night horror fest. " Eddy said getting up to leave.
"I'll be there Eddy. Should I bring anything?"
"Yeah, bring the drinks, I got the popcorn. Ed says he's fixing up his room so I figure we'll be walkin' into our own horror movie, just be prepared. See ya later." With a goodbye nod to the adults Eddy departed.
Anna and Vince sat down close to Double D.
"You know how much Vince and I love you, so when we tell you please don't think it'll ever change."
"Nothing will ever be able to take that away. You are our son and very important to us. Should you ever feel that you're not for any reason at all, please talk to us. Things might get a little chaotic around here but-"
"Mother, Vince, I love you both very much but you're not talking to a five year old." Double D said he knew what they were about to tell him now but didn't want to take away his mother's excitement of telling him herself.
Anna nodded. "right, you're right. I'm sorry. Eddward, you- you are going to be a big brother, isn't that wonderful?" Double D hugged his mother, he had never liked being an only child. Now he wouldn't have to be anymore.
"Yes, Mother it really is." Vince joined the hug. Double D would have to tell Ed and Eddy the news.
"Mother, May I tell Ed and Eddy about it?" The smile on her son's face was so joyous that she felt her own widening.
"Well, of course you can, aren't you going to see them tonight?" She asked. Double D was already on his way to the phone.
"yes, But I just can't wait!" he called back dialing Eddy's number.
"yeah?" Eddy's voice answered as usual.
"Eddy, it's Double D-"
"No kiddin' so what's goin' on?"
"Something wonderful, Mother just informed me that I'm going to have a little brother or sister, isn't that just fantastic?" There was a pause on the phone Eddy seemed to be thinking it over.
"You're still comin' to Ed's right?" he said Double D sighed.
"yes Eddy I'm still going to be there"
"then yeah, I'm real happy for ya." Eddy still sounded disinterested but Double D overlooked it.
"this is so exciting, I 've always wanted a little brother or sister. I just can't wait!" The conversation only lasted a few more moments but Double D had never been so happy.
When Double D got to Ed's house drinks in hand, he hadn't stopped smiling all day. He knocked at the door and waited for Ed to answer.
"Double D, you're here!" Ed said pulling him into the house.
"Hello Ed, did Eddy get here yet?"
"Not yet. There is a change in plans, Sarah is spending the night with Jimmy so we get to watch the movies up here in the living room" Ed fell silent staring at his friend. Something was different.
"Ed, I have something exciting to tell you, I'm going to be a big brother!" Double D announced. It took the tall boy several minutes to understand. He grabbed Double D in a hug.
" That's great Double D, you're going to like being a big brother. It is a lot of fun. Just make sure you don't make them mad. They get scary when they're mad, but there are good times too." Double D knew that from watching Ed and Sarah. Though he did hope the baby would have a little less of a temper problem.
Then Double D realized that he knew very little about being a sibling. Seeing that his friend's expression had changed Ed thought it might help to talk to him about it.
" Being a big brother is the best Double D, you'll be a good brother when the time is here. It is a good feeling when they start to come to you for everything, Hugs, protection, playing video games, watching movies. A punching bag. Target practice Even when you fight, you say mean things but you still love 'em Double D."
"Thank you Ed. That really helps." Double D couldn't believe Ed could say such things
"Hey Lumpy, get out here and give me a hand will ya?" Eddy called from the door.
"On my way Eddy!" Ed ran to the door and came back with the snacks that Eddy brought. He sat them down as Eddy walked in.
"Hey Double D, I know I wasn't real interested on the phone, but I really am happy for ya, it's just that, with everything-"
"It's alright Eddy I understand. I-"
"It's starting guys, hurry up. "'The thing that ate my homework from outer space' is on'" the boys joined Ed and settled in for a long night of fun.
