Currently seated between both her older and younger siblings on the couch, Buttercup met her dad's gaze while a heavy silence hung in the air between the four adults for several moments before his gaze went to their slightly rounded stomachs. Finally, he spoke.
"I always knew each of your respective male versions were trouble since the first time you all met. And now each of you are four months pregnant with their sons or daughters!" he furiously spat out, which made all three women exchange looks of alarm at just how angry their dad was at their present condition.
"Dad, please calm down," Blossom said and he met her gaze.
"How can I calm down? Look at the three of you," he replied as he motioned towards her four month pregnant belly.
Without glancing over at her blonde sibling, Buttercup sensed that she was on the verge of crying, which mirrored her current mood. Before she knew it, she was softly weeping.
"Why must you be so mad at us, dad?" she heard her red haired sibling questioned in between her sobs.
"Please stop crying, girls."
"We're all pregnant, dad. It kind of comes with the territory," Buttercup choked out between the soft sobs that escaped her lips.
He fell silent while the three women openly wept for several moments.
Liner break
Lying on his bed with his arms underneath his head and just staring up at the ceiling, the father of Buttercup's unborn son or daughter had no idea that he'd been barred from seeing his child until he or she turned a year old. As he continued to lie there, the door of his room opened and both his older and younger siblings stood in the hallway just outside his room, which made him glance over at them.
"What do you two morons want?" he asked them.
"Morons? Us?"
"Yes. The two of you are acting like you're both stupid. We're going to become dads in five months. It's time we started acting like the twenty year olds we've become."
The three males all looked at each other.
"I mean, you were the smart one back when we were kids. When did you become as dumb as Boomer was when we were kids, dude? And our youngest sibling has gotten a tad more dumb as we've gotten older."
"Hey! I'm right here, you know," Boomer retorted.
