Joel sat in a chair in the hotel room writing lyrics down. Benji sat next
to his brother.
"Hey bro!"
"Hey,how was the appointment?"Joel asked.
"It was good,the baby's fine,other than an irregular heart beat.And seeing as I'm not the only guy that's gonna be a dad on the bus"Benji hinted to his brother.
"What do you mean?"Joel said,still writing.
"You know,there's gonna be another dad"Benji noded.
"Still not sure what you're saying bro"
"There are going to be 2 babies"
"Oh! Twins,like you and me!"Joel said,looking up.
Benji sighed, "NO!Think about what I'm saying stupid!"
"2 babies,all that comes to mind is you and me"Joel shrugged.
"Joel,look at me!"Benji said.
Joel looked up,
"I guess I'm AM the one that got the looks AND the brains!"Benji sighed.
"We're identical stupid!"Joel laughed.
"Joel,2 dads,2 babies!"Benji grabbed his face.
"I heard that"Joel said."Billy's gonna be a dad?"
"No"
"Paul"
"No"
"You....wait,I already knew that.Me?"
"Yes"
"Oh okay" Joel noded,going back to his work.
Benji sighed and rolled his eyes,and got up and walked out.Then it his Joel.
"WAIT!WHAT?"He yelled.

Laura sat thinking of ways to tell Joel she was pregnant.
"I'm sooo screwed!"Laura said.
"Just tell him"Talon said.
"I don't want him to leave though"Laura said.
"He won't.He dosn't want to be like his dad.Neither dose Benji"Nikole said.
"They hate their dad for what he did,why would he do the same thing"Amanda asked.
"I dunno"Laura shrugged.
"Just go!"Nikole said.
Joel was laying on his bed face down.Benji looked down at him.
"It's not that bad!"He said.
"yeshishish"Joel said into his pillow.
"Joel,get up!"Benji sighed.
Joel remained face down.There was a knock at the door.
"I got it"Benji sighed.
It was Laura,he slowly slipped out and left Laura and Joel alone.
"Joel"She said.
He sat up and looked at her.
"Hey!"He plastered on a fake smile.
"Umm,we need to talk"She said.
'here it comes' he thought.
"Joel......I'm....."
"What?"
"I'm.....this is so hard"She said,looking down.
"I know"Joel said.
"Know what? How hard it is?"
"That you're pregnant.....Benji let it slip"
"He has a big mouth"Laura laughed.
There was a long silence.Finally Joel spoke.
"I'm scared"He whispered.
"Me to"Laura said,beginning to cry.
Joel put his arms around her and kissed her forhead.
"I don't know what to do"Laura cried into his shoulder.
"Me either"Joel said,beginning to cry himself.
Finally they both stopped and Joel was still in shock.
"Laura.....I'm not gonna be like my dad....but gimme a little time......just a little while.....and this will all be okay...I promise"Joel said.
