1 Family Gatherings (i.e. one's worst nightmare)

Chapter 1: The Call
"Well? Truth or dare?" Schuldig grinned evilly at his bespectacled teammate.
Brad snorted. How they had managed to persuade him to play Truth or Dare was beyond him. A moment of weakness, then BAM, he was stuck in this ridiculous game.
"Truth." After all, Schudig was notorious for issuing horrible dares.
An evil grin was warning enough of his terrible fate.
"Hmmm… So, Braddy, why don't you tell us all 'bout your family?"
Brad almost choked. Since when was his background of such an interest? "None of your bloody business. And DON'T call me Braddy."
"Sure, BRADDY. And it is my bloody business, considering how all our backgrounds are known to you, and yours virtually unknown to us?"
Whatever retort the clairvoyant had was cut off by the shrill ringing of the phone. Thanking whatever guardian angel was watching over him, he went over to answer the call.
Back in the living room, the three remaining members of Schwarz watched with great amusement as Brad's face turned whiter by the moment. The look on his face was so comical that all three of them were howling with laughter by the time their leader returned.
"So, what happened?" Nagi asked innocently, trying to wipe the smirk of his face. Schu and Farf were too busy clutching their stomachs to even make an intelligible sound.
"That was my mom."
Now that caught everyone's interest. They stared at him, willing him to continue.
"She wants me to return home for a family gathering."
"So? That's a good thing, right?" Nagi ventured hesitantly.
That was when Brad winced. "I told her I was married with a kid, and stayed with my loving brother-in-law."
Stares and open mouths. They could not believe what they were hearing.
Brad took a deep breath and plunged. "The problem is, she wants to meet them too."
