"Fresh food has now been prepaired,"The intercom loudly stated.
X-Ray quickly stood to his feet, "To make this go as easy as possible...there should be some sort of orderly line.."
"Ya mean like the waterline!?"Zero stood to his feet.
"I guess you could say that.."
"Man, I hated that line!"Magnet shouted as he stood up as well.
"So...who cares what you think.."Squid snickered.
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
"Well, Maybe I will.."Magnet glared.
"Bring it on!"Squid yelled and rose to his feet.
"I like that movie.."Zigzag began. "Its always been a secret passion of mine to-"Zigzag was unable to finish his sentence because of his wifes hand over his mouth.
"No honey...not in public..."Danielle added.
"Well I don't care about no stinkin line...Im hungry!"Armpit yelled.
"Well it really shouldn't bother you...You'd be second in line ANYWAYS!"Zero yelled.
"Well ya know what?!"Armpit yelled.
"What!?"
"Im hungry!"
"Aren't you always?"Squid asked.
Out of all the boys fighting and comotion they didn't notice that their wives and children had already gone to get their food and some of them were coming back.
"Boys...gonna get food?"Kristy asked as she set her plate down. All the boys stared until they just decided to forget about a line.
"Oh, and the children are still getting food..go make sure they don't get into any trouble.."Grace added.
"You cut!"Kyle screamed.
"No I didn't! I was here first!"Vanessa yelled back.
"Liar!"Kyle yelled and pushed Vanessa out of the line.
"Get to your own place in line!"Kyle glared.
"Ha, who's that remind ya of?"Zigzag glanced at the others.
"Lets just get our food.."X-Ray sighed and walked ahead.
Pretty soon everyone was back at their table with plates full of food. Thats when...Zero noticed his wife hadn't gotten any food.
"Gonna get something to eat?"He sat down and asked.
"No, I..Im not hungry.."
"You've not been hungry lately.."Zero paused. "I mean ya haven't been eating anything, but ya sure have been gaining something!"
Everyones silverware dropped and clattered. Everyone stared at Zero.
"What? Its the truth,"
"Man..Zero thats cold,"
"I can't believe you said that!"Angela glared.
"It was a joke,"
"Some joke.."Angela stood to her feet and ran towards the restroom. Hannah stood up and ran after her. As soon as they left conversation broke out again.
"Wait..wait Angela.."She stopped her as soon as they got into the Bathroom.
"What?"Angela asked.
"Are you ok?"
"Do I look like Im ok?"Angela glared.
"Ok..ok, so has this been happening often?"
"What are you talking about?"Angela asked.
"Ummm...have you had a loss for apetite..regularly?"
"Sometimes...why?"
"Uhhh...how could I put this..."Hannah paused. "When was the last time you had a baby?"
"What!? Like two years ago.."
"Do you remember how you felt before she was born?"
Angela's eyes then widened and she understood what she was talking about.
"Oh no...OH NO! You don't mean..."
"Uh huh."
"NOOOOO!!!"Angela jumped up and down.
"Hey, hey you don't even know for sure yet....Here, take this.."Hannah shoved a pregnancy test in her hand.
"Where'd this come from?"
"I had a spare in my purse.."
"Uhhh...Im not even gonna ask.."Angela took it.
"Ok...I'll leave ya alone now.."Hannah walked out of the restroom.
"Is she ok?"Zero asked.
"Oh...yeah, now ya care.."Hannah rolled her eyes and sat back down by Squid.
"I don't trust the food..."Mark stared at his plate.
"Why not?"Christina asked as she popped a spoonful of hers into her mouth.
"It could be poisoned...ya never know what other people put into your food..."Mark continued to stare at his plate.
"Here we go again.."Danny sighed.
"I can't trust anybody...there everywhere...always watching..always.."Marks eyes grew wide.
"He thinks that cameras are everywhere...even in his bedroom.."Danny pointed out.
"Now thats sad.."Sara shook her head.
"Boy needs some therapy huh?"Arianna mentioned.
"The whole family does..."Hector Jr. Laughed.
"Hey! Danny doesn't!"Sara yelled and then blushed.
"Yes he does! He blew up my dads car!"Bethany yelled.
"Yeah..so? Beth your dad twitches!"Kyle yelled.
"SO! At least he doesn't have a big mouth like your dad!"Bethany yelled.
"Ok..ok guys I think it'd be apropriate to stop fighting,"Sara whispered.
"Why? So you and Danny could be alone? So you could kiss maybe?"Kyle glared, and Skyler began giggling.
"Danny and Sara sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage! Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!"Skyler bounced up and down.
"I don't like him!"Sara lied.
"Sure...sure...we all know,"Vanessa nodded.
"ITS NOT FAIR!"Sara stood up and ran to her dad crying.
A couple minutes later Angela came out of the bathroom a solid look on her face. She quietly sat down by her husband.
"Hey, Angie.."
"Hello...Hector.."
"Look Im sorry, I didn't mean it,"Zero smiled.
"I know.."She looked down.
"So as I was saying...it was going fast and this dude.."Barfbag once again began his conversation that had cut off once Angela came back. Hannah casted Angela a questioning look, Angela didn't respond. All she did was take small nibles of the plate in front of her.
"Oh yeah! I remember his face! It was hilarious!"Squid laughed.
"Well, ya remember that comercial when that guy ran through the whole stadium only to find the game was next week!?"Zigzag asked.
"Oh, I saw that one!"Zero nodded.
"Im pregnant.."Angela whispered.
"Thats nice..and then.."Zero paused and looked at his wife. "What?!"
Tears were running down her face, Hannah dropped her fork and watched with determination.
"Im pregnant.."Angela said again, and felt the warm arms of her husband around her.
"Isn't that good news?"Kristy asked.
"Your saying a baby like its a bad thing..shouldn't we celebrate?"Lindsey asked, and Angela stayed silent.
"Come here, dear.."Zero stood up and held out his hand, she grabbed onto it and they walked toward the entry way. Somewhere where they could talk privately.
"Come on..Angie, its ok...don't cry,"Zero brushed his wifes tears away.
"Hector...I can't help it.."Angela gasped.
"We are not ready for another one..."
"Don't worry we'll get through this..its ok,"
"No, Hector you don't understand...were already behind on our bills...baby means more Hospitol bills, food, diapers, clothes...things that cost money...something we don't have.."Angela put her head on Zero's shoulder.
"Shhh...shhh its ok...its ok,"He patted her head lightly and rocked her back and forth
~FLASHBACK~
Zero use to have money, he had it after they found the treasure...then used some of it to find his mother. After they were together they moved into a house together and he grew up the rest of his life. But money isn't everything and it doesn't last forever. Pretty soon his mother was in debt and they had to move to a smaller house. He remembered being tight with his money and only buying what was most important. He had to learn to save up his own money through Highschool so he could go to college. It was tough but he did it! He went to college to be a Math teacher, to teach 8th grade math. And in college he met a bright, quiet girl named Angela who was getting extra schooling in, just to be ready for educational purposes. She was working to become a profesional Hip-hop dancer...doesn't sound too hard? A lot harder than ya think...
A year after they met, they got married, and a few months into their marriage Angela became pregnant with Hector Jr. They were not ready for a baby, they were at a weak point in their career. Zero was hardly making anything, and Angela wasn't bringing anything in yet except what she made at her part time job as a waitress. Then Hector Jr. was born and everything went wrong.
"Here hold him...I gotta get the TV dinners out of the oven before they burn!"Angela ran out of the small, plain bedroom. Zero lighly bounced his son. The beeper on the oven rang, and the microwave that had Hectors bottle beeped. Zero ran to get it and at the same exact time the phone rang.
"Yes?"He answered.
"May I talk to Mr.Zeroni?"
"This is him.."He pointed out as he opened the bottle to feel the temp and rock Hector at the same time.
"Well, Mr.Zeroni your bills have not been received yet.."
"Ummm...uhh, yeah been trying to get those darn things sent.."Zero answered nervously.
"Well, Mr.Zeroni if you don't send them by Wednesday you will be evicted from your house.."
"Yes...yes I know.."Zero answered and Hector Jr. began to cry.
"Have a nice day.."The dial tone was heard.
After that Zero and Angela had to leave Hector with Zero's mother until they were done working overtime and begging for money. It was stressful and hard, but they had the bill paid at the last minute, but then another bill would come. They had no time to play with Hector Jr. or to relax. They had no time for fun or to be together. They were only trying to get out of debt. Then after Hector Jr.'s 4th birthday, the family went on a Vacation together to spend time together and so their son would get some attention. But one night together can change it all. Angela became pregnant with Jamie, and under the circumstances they just couldn't take it. The word 'adoption' popped up a few times, but they didn't have the heart to give their kids away. Even if the debt got so high...it just wasn't fair.
"Mommy..Im cold.."Hector Jr. shivered.
"I know...Baby...come here.."Angela picked up her son and wrapped him in a tight blanket.
"Just sleep...sleep.."Angela rocked him back and forth.
"Am I getting a baby brother for Christmas?"Hector asked.
"Maybe...or a sister...who knows.."Angela smiled gently and held Hector close to her. The money problem had gotten so bad the heat was turned off and they were forced to spend Christmas without warmth...or light.
"I love you.."Angela kissed her sons cheek and blew out a candle.
After Jamies birth they got some money and financial help from thier close friends and family. But they knew more bills would eventually return.
~
"At least were here for eachother.."Zero whispered and brought his wife back to the table. The table was at an uproar with...guess who? Squid and Twitch. X-Ray was yelling at them to stop and Magnet was yelling at X about him being bossy. Their wives were either fighting as well or shaking their heads in disgust.
"People...PEOPLE!"The manager came running out. "Sit down mam...Sir put that plate down...no DONT THROW THAT!"The manager yelled. As soon as he got the table in order he glared.
"Now you need to act like humane people...if you would like to be kicked out I would be very happy to excort you.."He stated. "And make sure you keep your children in line...oh that reminds me...I found her lurking around.."The manager pushed Raven in front of them.
"Good evening.."He walked away.
"Raven! Where were you!?"Lindsey grabbed onto her daughter.
"I got lost.."Raven pouted.
"Oh...ok,"Lindsey pulled her daughter into a hug.
"Thats my daughter.."Barfbag laughed.
"Im going to get seconds.."Squid stood up to get away from the table.
"Fine...you go do that.."Hannah sighed, and picked Destiny up from her carrier. "Dessy...I bet your hungry...baby.."Hannah pulled out a bottle of formula and fed her tiny newborn.
"Hey, dad...can I have a dollar?"Arianna asked her dad and held out a hand.
"What? Why?"Armpit asked.
"Can I have one too?"Stephanie asked.
"No.."
"COME ON! Daddy, Im your oldest..."Arianna pouted.
"Yeah...and Im older than Gary and Christina.."Stephanie copied.
"Girls get outta here.."Armpit waved them off.
"Aren't those first born something?"Magnet laughed.
"Yeah...something.."Armpit sighed and stood up. "Charlotte...want anything else to eat? Im going back up.."
"No, Im fine Theo...you go right ahead,"Charlotte smirked.
"Ok..be back.."Armpit walked to the food line. 'aren't those firstborn something?' continued to rotate around in Pits head. Truth was...theres a lot behind that..
~FLASHBACK~
"Lauren...my names lauren.."A girl with light blue eyes and curly burnette hair smiled.
"Nice to meet you Lauren...Im Theodore..."Armpit smiled.
"Oh...really? Im studying to be a nurse...you?"
"Food management,"He answered.
"Go out...with me?"Laura blushed.
"Sure.."
A date starts out simple, but turns into another one following, and soon after your married. Armpit was just turning 20 when he found out about his newly wedded wife having a baby. Sounded great...but they weren't ready. Their parents didn't want anything to do with them...they thought they were way to young. Too bad they were too stubborn to believe. Armpit began working his side jobs late, he'd come home late and leave early. Laura would try to wait up for him but she never could. She was always alone, trapped in a cold, dark room that she called home, waiting for her husband whom she loved to come home. She never knew where he was...she was scared to leave...she was scared to live, and dropped out of college.
"Ya know I love you Lauren...I got a busy life.."He told her.
"I understand.."
But the days of coming home late, turned into not coming home at all. Lauren fell into depression, waking up with an empty bedside, she began babysitting just to keep some food for herself on the table. She felt alone and her life had been ruined all because of lusted love. Finally the day came when her baby was born...but where was Theodore? She asked for him...but nobody had seen him. He had missed his own sons birth. Joseph Cotton was the name he was given...Joseph Theodore Cotton. The name that began to feel like poison as she said it. Lauren broke off their marriage, and moved to Wisconsin with full custody of Joey. Lauren never found out why Armpit was gone those cold, lonely nights when all she wanted to do was cry. She didn't know where he'd be when she was sick or dying...she was heart broken and Theodore only understood that after she left. And it is still heard that Lauren is crying alone in a dark, cold bedroom...with only babysitting money to put food on the table and a sixteen year old son who leaves at night.
