Chapter 11- McFly's Secret Children
But unfortunately the happy moods didn't last long.
'Bear!' Libby suddenly squealed.
'Where?' Danny asked, doing a full circle, with her in his arms. He followed Libby's finger to a Build A Bear shop. It was full of young kids, all grinning and excited.
'Tom, we go in there?' Sam asked excitedly, tugging on the side of his jeans.
'Sure,' Tom laughed, Danny putting Libby down. Together the two of them ran inside.
'Never been in one of those things before,' Dougie said, watching inside with interest.
'Come on, let's go see them,' Harry smiled.
'Look Tom!' Sam was exclaiming as he held up a blue bear with no stuffing inside it.
'We get?' Libby added, showing him a bright pink glittery one and a fluffy white one. Dougie, Danny and Harry were all checking out the bears they could get as well, laughing like three year olds as Dougie held up one.
'You can get one if you want,' Tom said. 'So that means you'll have to choose out of the two of them Libs.'
'Both!' Libby said, her bottom lip beginning to quiver.
Oh no...
'One, okay?' Tom said firmly. 'If Sam only gets one, you only get one.'
'No!' she exclaimed. Tom motioned for Dougie to come over.
'Can we get one Tom?' he asked brightly as he walked over, but upon seeing Tom's stony expression, his smile faltered.
'Can you take Sam over and get the stuffing in his please?' he asked quietly, motioning to Sam who was standing silently, the bear clutched tightly in his hands.
'Why can't you do it?' Dougie asked.
'Because I got a feeling we have another tantrum on our hands. Now please just do it,' Tom muttered out of the corner of his mouth, glancing at Libby who was giving him an angry scowl, the two bears still in her hands. Dougie followed his gaze, bit his lip and put a smile on his face.
'Is that the one you want little buddy?' he asked brightly, gently putting a hand on Sam's shoulders and leading him over to the other two who were looking at clothes for the bears.
'Libby, you can only get one,' Tom said firmly, kneeling down in front of her.
'NO!' she screeched, beginning to wail, tossing the two bears on the ground and screaming, face red and angry.
'Libby-,' Tom started, but gave up as she began screaming louder. Tom's face turned bright red in embarrassment as the whole shop turned to look at him and the screaming little girl.
'Libby please stop crying!' he whispered desperately, trying to pull her in for a hug to calm her down. She didn't listen. 'Libby!' he hissed.
'Are we alright over here?' the shop assistant asked.
'Yeah, we're fine,' Tom said, forcing a smile at the woman who nodded uncertainly and walked off. As Libby stood in front of him screaming, he looked around. Dougie was kneeling beside Sam, who had his foot on the peddle and was putting stuffing into his bear. Danny and Harry were standing next to him, smiling. Tom took a deep breath. He could do this by himself...
'Libby, you don't stop crying now and Santa won't come to you. He'll give you coal like all the other naughty children who won't stop screaming because they can't get two toys. If you're good you'll have a lot of toys on Christmas day, so please stop crying!' Tom whispered frantically, squeezing her hands. Libby stared at him, her face still agitated and red.
'Do you want me to help you choose one?' Tom asked quietly. Libby's bottom lip began to quiver once again.
'Come on Libs, please,' Tom whispered, trying not to show the desperation in his voice. Libby stared at him, before kneeling down, picking up both bears and looking at both of them.
'This one,' she murmured, handing Tom the bright pink glittery bear.
'Good girl,' he smiled, taking her by the hand and leading her over to the machine where Sam was still waiting for his bear to be finished.
'All good?' Danny whispered as Libby handed the bear to the girl to fill it up.
'All good,' Tom replied, giving him half a smile.
'Dougie, we get clothes?' Sam exclaimed once the girl handed him his bear.
'Did you say thankyou?' Dougie asked, putting his hands on his shoulders.
'Thankyou!' Sam exclaimed to the girl before running over to the clothes.
'Thanks for that,' Harry smiled.
'No problem. Sweet little boy you have there,' she smiled back, standing up.
'Thanks, but he's not ours,' Harry replied, smiling as he watched Sam showing Dougie a tuxedo for his bear.
'Oh. I thought he looked a bit like you,' she shrugged, walking over to the counter. Danny smiled and nudged Harry in the side, going over to Libby and Tom. Harry laughed and went over to Dougie. Yeah right.
'Hey, look,' Harry said as they walked past the shops. A magazine on a stand caught his eye.
'That's us...' Dougie trailed off, kneeling down and picking it up, placing Sam on the ground as he did so.
'It's the kids...' Tom murmured, taking the magazine from Dougie.
"McFly's Secret Children?" the headline said over the picture snapped from outside the ice-cream shop of them all sitting inside, Libby in Tom's lap and Sam in Dougie's.
'They work fast don't they?' Harry muttered, looking over Tom's shoulder.
'You can't be serious. That is pathetic,' Danny spat, taking the magazine from Dougie and opening it.
'It seems pop-rockers McFly have been getting up to more than they've been letting on. In January last year, McFly were snapped with two children, taking them to the zoo and to the circus-,' Danny read.
'I didn't even know there were rumours about us then,' Harry said, his face shocked. The two kids were sitting on the floor at their feet, playing with their bears. Sam's bear was in a tux, whereas Libby's was dressed like a ballerina.
'Keep reading,' Tom urged.
'but for the whole of this year, it seems the children have been elsewhere while McFly embarked on a nation-wide tour, as well as collecting another top ten album. Just last night McFly were seen once again, eleven months later with presumably the same two children at a local ice-cream shop, with speculation that these two children are in fact theirs, in particular, the band's front man and lead guitarist, Danny Jones, who seemed very close to the children when they were seen late last night. Who could forget that failed relationship and the rumours that followed between Danny and the mysterious brunette we know only as Monique back in late 2003 when McFly were only just beginning to commence? One very interesting rumour that spread through the gossip magazines was that Monique was in fact pregnant with Danny Jones' child, which is supposably why he called the relationship off in early 2004 when they launched themselves into musical fame with their hit single 5 Colours in Her Hair, in which the time frame perfectly suits the assumed age of the two children, guessed to be twins. Could these two adorable children be the next Jones-in-waiting? I guess we'll just have to wait and see,' Danny finished, scrunching the magazine up in his hands.
'You guys know damn well why I broke it up with that...dinosaur!' he spat, tossing the magazine back on the shelf. 'And it definitely was not because she was pregnant with my child! We never even did anything remotely close to sharing...fluids.'
'We know mate, it was because she was sleeping around behind your back,' Dougie said sympathetically, patting Danny's shoulder. Danny turned and glared at him and Dougie backed away.
'We know. It's just a pathetic rumour. It'll blow over, I'm sure. Now let's go do some shopping!' Tom exclaimed.
