Charlie and the chocolate factory

The reunion

Chapter fourteen: The joys of being pregnant and strange cravings

At eight months pregnant Charlie, Willy and Violet were now known as the cranky trio. Mrs. Bucket at six months was at least more tolerable compared to the other three.

Mike and Mr. Bucket were at a loss for how to act around the rest of the heavily pregnant residence of the Wonka and Bucket factory.

Lizzy was only the other member who was not involved, she had made a point of staying out of the way, when she sensed there was to be an emotionally hormonal blow up on the cards. Mike and Violet had moved into the factory, at least until after the twins were born.

Currently Mike, Lizzy and Mr. Bucket were sitting around with the other four pregnant members of their little family and group, as they ate their breakfast.

Willy was currently eating peanut Butter, sardines and salad cream smothered over a bagel, while Charlie devoured a piece of toast with jam Salmon sweet corn and tomato saucer liberally spread all over said concoction.

Violet on the other hand was drenching her sausages and fried eggs and bacon in chocolate sauce, even Charlie and Willy were disgusted by this. Mrs. Bucket happily munched on a banana, but said banana was smothered in mayonnaise.

Lizzy grimaced as she eyed her porridge lightly drizzled in golden honey syrup, she was revolted by the foods the other four had combined together and were eating happily; it was rather atrocious.

Mike didn't know weather to laugh or be sick. He loved a full English breakfast, but the sight of his girl friend and the mother of his unborn children, smothering said breakfast in chocolate sauce was enough to make him rethink his fondness for that breakfast combination in particular.

Mr. Bucket shook his head in disbelief. How could anyone eat something that appeared to be inedible for another human being to eat? He didn't think even the Oompa-loompas would eat such concoctions even for all the coco beans in the world.

Mr. Bucket asked "so what is on the agenda today for you Charlie and Willy?" Charlie replied "me and Willy are going to be preparing more stock of Wonka and Bucket's delights. Since everyone discovered what it does, it's selling like wild fire, it is in high demand."

Willy commented "a small bottle of Wonka and Bucket's delights is being sold for five pound a bottle, and a large bottle is ten pounds, its day light robbery.

It's candy for Christ sake, ok fine its candy with a extra interesting side effect, but honestly five or ten pounds, its lunacy. But that's those greedy shop keepers and the government for you."

He added "I made chocolate not because of the prophet, but because it has been my lives work, since I was a teenager. I opened my own shop when I was seventeen going on eighteen. Believe it or not, I'm actually in my late forties."

Mike commented "what did you honestly expect? The two of you have, good as created liquid gold, as far as the homosexual society is concerned.

Or even yet, all those infertile women whom took Wonka and Bucket's delights and bam their problem took a nose dive straight out of the nearest open window."

Willy shook his head and immediately winced when one or both of the twins kicked inside of him, his bladder to be more precise. Willy silently cursed and slowly rose from his chair and clutched his back, as it ached something fierce.

Charlie asked "where are you going?" Willy grimaced and replied "to the toilet, one or even maybe both of the twins just gave my bladder a hefty kick." Violet and Mrs. Bucket winced including Charlie. Boy did they know how that felt of late, more then knew.

Charlie commented as soon as Willy had gone to the toilet "I can't honestly wait for this to be over, and I know for a fact Willy feelings the same and shares my feelings and opinion concerning this whole pregnancy business.

Christ even the Oompa-Loompas that were affected are now parents, seeing as an oompa-loompa pregnancy only last for four months. Jeez, I bloody wish a human pregnancy last that long as well. This nine month period is just not what I'd call heaven on earth thank you very much.

And god, still four weeks to go along with the actual birth, Dr. Harrington told me and Willy that the babies have to be fully dilated before they can operate and do the c section."

Mrs. Bucket and Violet nodded and snorted knowingly, Mrs. Bucket especially.
