Hey guys, so here is the sequel to Another Makes Four where Dan is pregnant again, with baby Zachary! and if you thought the last one was full f fluff and angst, well..this one will be full of both, so yeah here is another! Oh and the song here is from Matilda the Musical
Five year old Destiny stepped out onto the stage, she gulped and looked at the other little girls and boys who were auditioning for a role in the play. Her school was doing their rendition of the 'Matilda the musical' and she was trying out for the role of Matilda. Normally, she didn't like going up infront of large crowds but she'd always wanted to play Matilda..besides maybe it wouldn't be that bad. Her little heart was beating fast, and she felt incredibly nervous. She swallowed the lump in her throat, and felt all eyes on her.
"Um...h-hi...um, I'm Destiny and I..I'm trying out for Matilda and...and...and...um..uh." Said Destiny nervously, as her blue eyes darted back and forth, and the microphone made a loud squealing sound. The drama teacher sighed, and looked at her watch. The five year old looked down at the ground, and fiddled with her fingers.
"J-j-jack and Jill went up the hill to f-fetch a pail of water. S-so so they say, their subs-sequent fall ...w-was inevitable.They n-never stood a chance; th-they were written that way...I..I..In..In..Innocent victims of their story...Like Romeo and Juliet, 'T...twas written in..in the stars b-b-before they even met. That love..l-love and fate (and a touch of stu-stupidity) Would rob them of their hope of living ha-happily. Th...the endings are-are often a-a little bit go-gory. I wonder why they didn't just change their story." She sang softly, when the bell rang, the five year old looked down as everyone began leaving.
" Thank you Ms. Howell-Lester, we'll see you tomorrow." Said the teacher, Destiny looked down and went outside to wait for her parents.
"H-hey D-d-d-destiny, wh-who am..am I?" Teased a couple of girls from Year 3, making the little five year old shrink back as she wrapped her arms around her legs and hugged them to her chest. She looked up, as she saw daddy walking over, and immediately she ran towards him.
" Hey sweetheart whats wrong?" Asked Dan when he noticed how red her face was.
"Can we go home?" She asked, he nodded and picked her up.
"Of course we can love, I'm guessing things didn't go so well?" He asked, she shook her head and clung to him tightly. " Do you want to talk about it?"
" I did the thing again...where I try to say stuff and it won't come out right. " Said Destiny, Dan sighed and nodded. He knew that Destiny had a habit of stuttering when she got nervous and as much as he and Phil tried to help, it was something that wouldn't go away.
"It's alright love, everyone gets that way sometimes." Said Dan trying to make her feel better, she sniffed and rubbed her eyes.
"You and papa don't...w-when you're up on the stage, at Vidcon or Playlist, you never do the thing." She replied, he smiled and lightly kissed her forehead.
" Because papa and I have been doing that for a long time sweetheart, but when we first started we were pretty nervous and awkward. Even during the radio...actually especially during the radio when we were starting out. It'll get better I promise." Said Dan with a small smile. She nodded when they were in the flat, she dashed to the office where Phil was editing a video and she immediately wrapped her arms around him.
"Hey love, what happened?" Asked Phil, as he hugged her back.
" I'll tell you later," Said Dan, Destiny looked down and fiddled with her fingers, Phil gently kissed her forehead and exited the editing program.
"Want to watch the cat whiskers?" He asked, she smiled and lit up making Phil chuckle. They found that, whenever she was sad Destiny would usually feel better after watching one or two of the Philisnotonfire's. Phil gently set her down on the chair and kissed the top of her head. They left the door open, as they went to the kitchen and Dan began making a snack for her.
"So what happened?" Asked Phil curiously.
"She tried out for the musical...but she got nervous and..then started stuttering. Isn't there some sort of speech therapy or something to help her with it? I mean, ever since she started school she's had that problem...and I'm worried." Said Dan, Phil gently placed his hands on Dan's shoulders.
"Dan, its probably nothing, kids stutter she'll grow out of it...really." Said Phil reassuringly. Dan sighed, and nodded though deep down he still wasn't buying it. Once he was done fixing her a peanut butter sandwich and some carrot sticks, he went to the office and smiled softly as she giggled at him and Phil on the screen.
"Here you go love." Said Dan with a small smile as he set the plate down.
"Thank you daddy." Said Destiny with a small smile. He chuckled and kissed the top of her head, maybe Phil was right..maybe he was over thinking things.
"You're welcome sweetheart, I love you." Said Dan, as he ruffled her hair once he was out of the office was stopped by a small pang in his abdomen. He knitted his brow and headed to the bathroom. He knew that now was right around the time his "man period" came but...actually..it had been late this month. Once he was done, he looked down and...nothing. He bit his lip, and took out one of the pregnancy tests.
He and Phil had both decided to not have anymore after Destiny...but condoms broke, and sometimes pills didn't always work. He sighed, and bit his lip, before deciding to do it. After a few minutes, he looked at the tess..his eyes widened when he saw that it was positive.
